    very nice. just a hint: for those uploading themes straight into their wordpres install, themes need to be inside a folder :-)

      Folder? Inside zip? :) no.
      Use the Upload link in the top sub-menu to upload a zip or create folder in ftp clients – i not see a problem here :)

    is there a way to remove the header graphic from the home page? When I select remove header image, there is still a large blank space where the graphic should be. This is happening on both wordpress 3.1 and 3.2 (both local installs). I would like to use either of these themes, but I dont want the large picture on my homepage.

    Thanks!

      Remove the header graphic? Ok.
      Header – hardcoded.
      Remove in Header (header.php) code from 80 to 90 line

      80				<?php
81					// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
82					if ( is_singular() &&
83							has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
84							( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
85							$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
86						// Houston, we have a new header image!
87						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'post-thumbnail' );
88					else : ?>
89						<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
90					<?php endif; ?>

    I’m midway through using and customising the theme, but could you please tell me how to get rid of the automatic shortening of the posts?

    I’d like the posts to be in full (no ‘continue reading’) unless I myself choose to use excepts.

    Many thanks. Love the Theme. xx

      Hi Joe,

      I too am looking on how to do this. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out how to execute it based on the link provided as a comment to your post. Would you mind telling me how you were able to show full posts on the home page and remove the auto excerpts?

      I tried to edit the “Theme Function” php with no success.

      Thank you!

    One question: when I use a customized menu, the sub menus are located slightly to the right, yet the shadow remains at its position right under the parent menu. How can I fix that error?

    Sure! Check out this menu and specifically the very last entry. It’s children are not right under it, but a little to the side. Yet the shadow is at its original position.

    Thanks so much for your reply! But there is no way to make the Customized Menus appear like the standard menus? (Meaning the sub menus NOT moved slightly to the side)?

    I have a problem with the menus with IE8 : all level-2 menu items beyond the first one are not selectable. Example: the “lorem ipsum” submenu of the “About” menu on the demo page. Am I the only one to experience this issue?
    Otherwise, that’s a very fine template. Thank you, Jeny.

    Dear Jenny Elkind,

    I use your free-theme Skeletonplus . I like it very much. I am a troubadour and have learned some html webdesigning and wordpress and so on. But I don’t know anything of php. The problem I experience with your design is that the blog-page is somehow automatically made. The blogposts are coming in perfectly, and are organised on the page ‘Blogs’ (on my site), I can click on the different titles and than I get the specific blog. But some people who find my site, don’t find this ‘system’ . They find sometimes the words Continue reading under the fragments of the blogs on the blog-page, but they cannot click this “Continue reading”. How can I change this? I also cannot write something on the blogs-page in the edit-mode. The page I am talking about is : http://troubadourterras.nl/?page_id=12 It is overruled by the automatically generated blogpage. So my question is: How can I put some words in the beginning of the blogpage, f.i. that people can click on the titel of the blog to see the blog and how can I delete the words ‘continue reading’ or make them clickable. Or perhaps is the solution to present the whole blogs on the blogpage. I found out that I have to change something in loop.php but I don’t know what and I don’t know if that is the solution.

    I hope you understand my english and hope you have a little solution.
    I wish you a happy new year!
