It should be set to Your latest posts instead of any kind of static page setup. If you have any plugins active, try disabling them as well to make sure there are no conflicts. As for setting links to the background images, it isn't possible as far as I know and would require completely re-doing the way the theme builds pages. Regards, Devin zealouslongboards on "Static Home Page, Descriptions/links for homepage background images?" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/static-home-page-descriptionslinks-for-homepage-background-images#post-86557 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 03:32:47 +0000 zealouslongboards 86557@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ I just got the theme and I tried to set my own static homepage by going to theme options and Homepage settings. I set it to home but the front page still kept coming up with the blog posts. I even tried importing dummy data which set the homepage to welcome but it is still just coming up with the blog. I have tried opening it in another browser and resetting the cache with no luck. Also I was wondering if it is possible to make links and descriptions for the slider images in the background of my homepage. Thanks very much.

Did you modify anything? jkwalls on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-10310 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 19:51:50 +0000 jkwalls 10310@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi thanks for the help James. I think I have most of that figured out. A couple other issues came up though. If you take a look at the website <a href="http://www.josephwalls.net/wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.josephwalls.net/wordpress/</a> 1. In the Cat nav menu for some reason the boarder wont apply to the last one the "Contact us". I went through and removed the original top and bottom line from the them as it stretches accross the entire screen which we didnt want, and I added in a boarder instead under. .catnav li a{ color:#666666; border-right:1px solid #aaa; border-top:1px solid #aaa; border-bottom:1px solid #aaa; text-shadow:1px 1px 0px #fff; } Any Idea though why this is not applying to the last box? when you load the page it seems to appear then disapear. 2. I went through and changed the main page to show a full post instead of just the short version. However if you look at the 2 post on the main page how do I stop a picture that is in the post (or in this case a page) from showing up here as well? Thanks for the help! lcontheroad on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-10175 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:25:51 +0000 lcontheroad 10175@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ I'm also having the same problem as Boomsite - need a static home page but want the slider to show too. Got SO excited when I saw the code switch above but haven't been able to get it to work. I tried the page id and also the full absolute address to my desired page in both occurrences of "$additional_loop = new WP_Query" but still posts show on the home page rather than a static page. If I set "static page" to my desired page, I lose the slider. Please help...!!! James Morrison on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-10173 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:33:29 +0000 James Morrison 10173@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey, 1.) You need to put additional page ID's into an array in order to display more than one page. Change this code: <code>additional_loop = new WP_Query("page_id=10");</code> to this: <pre><code>$args = array( 'post_type'=>'page', 'post__in' => array('10', '11', '12') ); $additional_loop = new WP_Query($args);</code></pre> which would display Pages (denoted by the post_type) with the ID's of 10, 11 and 12. 2.) Under WP Admin > Settings > Reading you can select a static page (rather than latest posts which actually uses home.php (if available) or index.php to display content). If you want to specify a page layout (e.g. to add additional code), you can create a Page Template and assign this to the page you choose for the front page. 3.) Yes but no... Different browsers interpret the code differently i.e. the standards complaint browsers such as Safari, Firefox and Chrome will work fine using CSS to do this, older / primitive browsers such as Internet Explorer have issues behaving correctly. Strictly speaking, the correct way to do this is with absolute positioning which isn't feasible for a navigation menu because you'd have to give each individual menu item a unique ID then add the CSS for each menu item separately. Hope this helps, James jkwalls on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-9984 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:27:47 +0000 jkwalls 9984@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Thank you so much for getting back to me James, that was super helpful! All the changes you gave me worked excellently. # 1. I actually havent solved it. I have a couple of questions on it, #1. I can only get 1 feature to show up on this line of code $additional_loop = new WP_Query("page_id=10"); how do I add in extra page ID's? I tried "....10" & "11"); or "..10", "11". Or adding in a new line with it in but I cant seem to get it to generate more than 1 feature as is currently on the Hopepage. Another question I have is if I wanted to just make this a static page (as in text is writen on it that can be edited from within wordpress not generated text form posts and pages in the loop, almost like the other pages) can I just copy all the code from "page.php" and paste it in to "index.php", or is it more complicated than that. Also if I can do this what code do I need to keep from Index.php to still keep the accordian slider. # 3: The centering worked but I was wondering if there was a way to also get it to aligh in the middle of the box vertically. So dead center in the box from both left and right and also up and down. Thanks for the help James Morrison on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-9974 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:12:50 +0000 James Morrison 9974@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey, Sorry for the delay getting back to you, this was marked as "Not A Support Question"... I've updated this now. To answer your questions: 1.) I believe you solved this, let me know if not. 2.) To adjust the size of the featured images, you need to open up functions.php (using a text editor not through WP admin) and adjust the image sizes near the top of the file. To remove the images from a page, open up page.php - find and remove this code: <pre><code>if($preview_image) { echo '<div class="entry-previewimage rounded preloading_background">'; echo $preview_image; echo '</div>'; }</code></pre> Note that this only affects pages (so not posts or any other Custom Post Types). To do this for different post types, you need to remove the same code from other files such as single.php. Have a look at the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy">Template Hierarchy</a> to work out which template file controls the layout for which pages. 3.) I'm a little confused here, are you trying to adjust the text size or the width of the page list item? To centre the text within the menu items, add this code to the end of style.css: <pre><code>.catnav li a strong, .catnav li a span { text-align: center; }</code></pre> 4.) The top background is set by this image: <a href="http://josephwalls.net/wordpress/wp-content/themes/newscastTheme/images/skin1/bg.png" rel="nofollow">http://josephwalls.net/wordpress/wp-content/themes/newscastTheme/images/skin1/bg.png</a> You can change the image and is currently set to repeat across the page left to right. If you want an image that doesn't repeat, change this code in /css/style1.css (on line 1): <code>background: url("../images/skin1/bg.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;</code> to: <code>background: url("../images/skin1/bg.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;</code> 5.) What do you mean by the shadow? Can you provide a screenshot?

For anyone wondering For menu. In styles.css #top .catnav ul { display:none; position:absolute; top:71px; width:172px; left:-2px; } the top changes where the drop down menu starts. for the comments/admin/date from the index page delete <div class="entry-head"> <?php the_time('M d, Y') ?> <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments','newscast'), __('1 Comment','newscast'), __('% Comments','newscast')); ?> <?php _e('by','newscast');?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> I still would really appriciate some help with the other questions though.. This is taking me HOURS to go through each line in your CSS and figure out what is going on. jkwalls on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-9887 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:06:59 +0000 jkwalls 9887@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Can someone please help me out with this jkwalls on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-9736 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:00:18 +0000 jkwalls 9736@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Sorry just realized some of the menus were screwed so the site would have looked odd but just fixed them. jkwalls on "Need help with a couple changes" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/need-help-with-a-couple-changes#post-9700 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:07:41 +0000 jkwalls 9700@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Enjoying the template but I wanted to change a few things. My webpage is <a href="http://www.josephwalls.net/wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.josephwalls.net/wordpress/</a> 1. I'm having problems with the static page (<a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/static-home-page-issues" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/static-home-page-issues</a>) I managed to get 1 page to show up, but Didnt realize it wont just make the page you set up as the home page. Is there anyway to do this rather than just having it show up as a feature post? If not how to I get additional pages to show up as feature posts on the home page, as well how do I get rid of the Time, Comments, and who created the page part of the feature. 2. How do I change the size of the featured image for each page, or how do I get rid of it showing up on the page. I know through a few threads on these forums its been said you need to change meta tags to do this. I’m not too sure how to do this can someone give me some direction or help on how to do this. 3. Where abouts in the code can I change where the drop down menu appears, on mine its cutting of some of the words in the menus so would like to drop it down a few points. Also is there a way to center the titles in the menu as you can see for “Contact us” the title would look a lot better if it was at least centered in the middle of the box. 4. Where abouts can I change the top header/banner or whatever its called (the black part) I know how to add in our logo, but I want to change this black strip to water and also insert a few pictures into the area. 5. I Know I havent finished setting up the accordian slider yet. But how can I make the shadow from each tab alot smaller? Thanks I know I asked alot there! But I’m hoping someone can give me a hand as I’m getting pretty close to finishing this site jkwalls on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-7914 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:08:51 +0000 jkwalls 7914@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi I'm having the same problem as Boomsite. I found the code and replaced it but it still wont show up on a static homepage. For this I tried a couple diffrent things I tried it with the settings in settings - reading to a static homepage and the same one I wanted, as well as tried leave it with out this setting on. The static homepage will show up but my accordian slider wont. when you say page ID is 10. what do you mean by this, the title or the page order (of which i tried both), I also tried chainging the 10 in the index.php to "index.php" or "index". But I cant seem to find away to get it to work. Boomsite on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-6649 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 10:23:27 +0000 Boomsite 6649@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ I'm also trying to achieve a static front page that keeps the slider, but I'm having some trouble getting it to work. I've edited the line of code in index.php as described above. I got the page id from the URL when I chose to edit the page I want to use. Example: /wp-admin/post.php?post=32&action=edit This results in a front page with a slider, and an error under that reading: "Nothing Found Sorry, no posts matched your criteria" Have I got the wrong page ID? Appreciate your help! katalintamas on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-3386 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:31:43 +0000 katalintamas 3386@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Thanks a lot! James Morrison on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-2963 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:42:53 +0000 James Morrison 2963@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey, The frontpage was never designed with the slider and a static page as an option, nevertheless you can modify index.php to show a page instead of the posts. Open up index.php and find this code: <code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged");</code> change it to: <code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query("page_id=10");</code> where page_id matches the ID of the page you want to display (in the above code '10'). katalintamas on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-2859 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:24:37 +0000 katalintamas 2859@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hello, could anyone help me please? I would really appreciate, thanks! katalintamas on "Slider + Static homepage" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-static-homepage#post-2778 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 08:01:42 +0000 katalintamas 2778@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey, I absolutely enjoy this support forum, it helped me a lot. Even though there are two topics about static homapages, I could not find the solution to my problem: I would like to display the accordion slider AND a Static Page - <a href="http://beregszaszi-gerendahaz.hu/gerendahaz/" rel="nofollow">http://beregszaszi-gerendahaz.hu/gerendahaz/</a> - on my homepage: <a href="http://beregszaszi-gerendahaz.hu" rel="nofollow">http://beregszaszi-gerendahaz.hu</a> How would I do that? If I just set WP to display a static homepage, there is no slider.... Thanks a lot!!
