Cannot reproduce this problem at our end. Maybe more information such as what type of image you are using for custom header, it’s size, etc can help.

By: Lizzie

Lizzie — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:51:25 +0000

the header thing is.. when you add your own custom header, from the setting button on the wp dashboard, the original header can still be seen underneath..

a few comments above, you will see, Katherine has the ’same issue with the header’.. if i understand her comment correctly
thanks for you answers.. love the template

What is the “same issue with the header”? We cannot see this problem at our end.

The background color of sidebars cannot be changed through options page or by editing the stylesheet.
You need to edit the wrapper image ‘contentbackground.gif’ in Images folder.

For changing the font size,

look for this piece of code in stylesheet:

body {

font-size: 12px;
color: #000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
}

@wizetime

First revert the header.php to the original one from Eximius theme.
Then look for the following piece of code :

wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1′);

Replace the above with

wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=2′);

DO NOT use < ?php> in front of the above code. This may have caused the syntax issue for you.

Lizzie — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:08:51 +0000

one more thing.. if we can change the background color from the dark gray to what ever,
what about being able to change the change the color of the background of the side bars..?
( not having to use any file updating ftp)
, but in the wp style editor would be great

also if you wanted to change the font size, where in the style sheet relates to the font size of the
content ?
thanks

Hi I am having the same issue with the header..
using the installation of ‘custom header button’ on the Wp dashboard eximus settings options,
( a really great option i might add)
the eximius header shows thru.
please don’t send me to utilizing my ftp files, as i will be lost
thanks again for a clean template

Wize Time — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:15:35 +0000

I put in the code you suggested though the code was not written in the same order as the original and now I get this message;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/wizetime/public_html/wp-content/themes/eximius/header.php on line 42

The code you had given me was: wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1′); – I altered ‘ to 0&sort for li, and depth=2

The problem has become worse now since a syntax error is now appearing. It now looks like this:

What's the problem please?

Wize Time — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:00:19 +0000

You wanted me to elaborate more on the problem re pages –

I started a Parent Page called Services. Under Services I wanted 3 child pages which outlined the services I offered so that under Services people could look at each page and read the pages they wanted. Everywhere I’ve read that’s all I had to do – was to use Services as the Parent page instead of “Main”. But it doesn’t work that way. The 3 subpages I created don’t appear as web pages – when I click on the link in the Services area, I’m taken back to the admin screen where I created the pages instead of a web pages like Services appears. http://www.wizetime.com is the site – you can also see the problem with the widget not disappearing – anyhow – I hope the code you gave me will help with the page problem and I hope you can recommend a good plugin compatible with your theme for drop down menus – thanks.

By: Wize Time

Wize Time — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:53:31 +0000

Thanks for the piece of code – I’ll give it a shot –

Do you have any recommendation for drop down menu that will be work best with your Theme?

Widgets – one of the widgets I’ve removed won’t disappear – can you give me any idea why that is? It’s a widet contraining reference links to sites such as Yahoo, Feedage, etc. All the other widgets work well but not this particular one -

Hello! I have a customized headbanner but the problem is, the blog title interferes with it. I’d like to keep the blog title for SEO purposes, but also have it invisible so that it doesn’t interfere with my customized headbanner.

Is there anything I can do to change that?

By: Amber

Amber — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:56:54 +0000

I have been trying to create a page that doesn’t have the sidebars…..you mentioned that the background and sidebars are part of a wrapper – what file would I need to edit to remove that? Or do you have an easier solution to creating a page with no sidebars? I’m not great with code yet but I do know a little! Thanks so much!

By: dkszone

dkszone — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:48:14 +0000

Eximius does not support drop down menus. You may want to check the WordPress plugins directory for something suitable for your website.

Regarding, the subpages, can you elaborate more on that problem?
By default Eximius shows only the top level pages. If you want to change this behavior, you need to edit header.php and modify the depth attribute to your liking in the following piece of code
wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1′);

For example, if you want to show children, use depth=2, for showing grandchildren of a page use depth=3, and so on.

March 9, 2010 at 1:58 am how do I add drop down menus under pages in navigation bar? Is there a plugin I can use or do you have another solution?

Subpages are not appearing as subpages; links are not going to webpages but are taking people to raw post screen instead – why?

You don’t need to edit the stylesheet to change the background color. You can pick a color from the color picker in admin options of Eximius.
Go to ‘Eximius settings’, the link can be found in the left panel of WordPress admin.

Katherine — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:09:39 +0000

Where in the sheetstyle.css can I edit the background color? I’d like it to be black instead of grey.

Hi,
with new wp 2.9.2 im having some problem.. when i install eximius on fresh install.. it starts showing blank space in posts.. and sometimes it even breaks the widget tables too.. can u please have a look and let us know what can cause something like that to happen?
ive experianced in on 3 blogs with wp 2.9.2 and all had same issue
and tried on 2 blogs with wp 2.8 and they all worked fine.

Eximius has a background image for the wrapper, and hence the sidebar margins will remain the same. In case you want to make width changes, edit this wrapper image and move the margins to your liking.

Hi,

I am having a problem with the blue margin on the left.
I had to decrease the content section in order to fit videos but the blue margin vertical line did not move.
I know Im doing something wrong…doh
Great theme though.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there DKSZONE,

I’ve used the Eximius template for my new site and made some ajustments in the layout. However I have one question. When one clicks on the comment link in the blog, you get directed to the post. But the browser stays at the top of the post, and doens’t automaticly go to the comments-erea as do other wp-themes. I’ve noticed more sites using Eximius have the same way of working, so it isn’t anything I’ve changed. Question is: what do I need to change to the script to let the comment link direct one to the comments at the bottom of the post?

Hope you can shed some light on the matter. Like the theme very much though.
Thanx!

awaix,

We will implement new features in future releases. Unfortunately, we can’t do it in a single release due to time constraint. Though it’s free, our goal is to make Eximius better and better. Keep updating your theme when it’s available.

By: awaix

awaix — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:17:48 +0000

feature request:

you should have more theme modifications available in admin area.. like topbar color, sidebar colors and stuff..
ive done a complete redo of the template on my site here:
http://www.zhuzhupetreviews.com/
but it was really difficult and tool alot of time..
as for font color.. you have used blue color but with different color gradient numbers. so we cant just replace the blue color with any color we want.
like at one point u used #CCC for blue and at some point u used 00F and stuff.
can we expect anything simple in next release?
thanks

Hi.. I love your Eximius theme, and have chosen it for a small website I am setting up.

However, I have found there is a problem with the formatting in IE for the right sidebar when adding another PAGE, in that the contect of the right sidebar starts part way down the page, lined up with the bottom of the content of the middle/main column. If it was a table I would be looking for a missing td or tr or end tag, but I don't know how this theme works.

The main Home page formats fine for me.

Are you able to offer any advice please?

Very nice theme. I had an issue with the closing div tag for the "content" div when users had to be logged in to comment – the formatting was messed up.
To recreate go to discussion settings and check the "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" and then select any post. "Comment author must fill out name and e-mail" was also selected. I tried a reinstall of the original files and turning off widgets but this did not solve it.
In the end I enabled user commenting and the formatting is fine. Thought you might want to know.

Eximius doesn't support Threaded comments. We believe you are using a plug-in for it. In that case, the date and time control exists in the plug-in code.

In IE7 or IE8 compatability mode the magnify glass image in the search box is justified left and is overlayed on top of the "search" text. In Firefox or IE8 the magnify glass image is justified right, which is what I think you meant. Is there a way to fix that?

If I move the author credits, currently in the footer, to another section of the my site, say the "About Us" page, would that still be acceptable as for given credit for your work? I have no issue with credit where it's due, but I would like to put just our non-profit organization information in the footer. I didn't see anything in the GPL that I would be breaking, but it's your theme at the same time. Thanks!
