Regarding the doubled home page, The theme's header line <div id="head"> <h1 id='logo'><a>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> <ul id="nav"> <li <?php if(is_front_page()){ echo "class='current_page_item' ";}?>><a>">Home</a> Produced a double home page - the word Home AND the name of the page I set as the static home page. i.e. "Home" and "Welcome" - both with same content. to fix, i changed the line to this: <div id="head"> <h1 id='logo'><a>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> Regarding the logo, the issue was that my 'new' logo had a white instead of a transparent background. You guys might want to advise folks in the FAQ / setup guide for the theme about that. Or maybe you did! :) --->Hey, is there a way for me to get automatic updates of posts here? I checked my spam folder, no messages regarding your (very helpful!) post. - Karl Dude on "Serveral Issues - how to kill slider entirely, 'doubled' home page, and logo" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/serveral-issues-how-to-kill-slider-entirely-doubled-home-page-and-logo#post-11219 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:01:26 +0000 Dude 11219@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hey, sorry for the late response 1) It's ok. You can also remove the slider code, this will improve your loading times a bit. You can remove following code in header.php: <pre><code><div id="main_transition"> <div id="transition-container"> <?php if($kriesi_options['slide_page'] != ""){ $my_query = new WP_Query('page_id='.$kriesi_options['slide_page']); if ($my_query->have_posts()) : while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); the_content(); endwhile; endif; }else{ ?>  <img src='<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images<?php echo $kriesi_options['whichdesign']; ?>/header_image1.jpg' alt='' height="240" width="900" /> <img src='<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images<?php echo $kriesi_options['whichdesign']; ?>/header_image2.jpg' alt='' height="240" width="900" /> <?php } ?> </div> </div></code></pre> 2) As far as I can see it doesn't affect your menu. So the duplicate is just displayed in your backend? Can you create me an admin account and send me the login details to: <a href="mailto:kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com">kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com</a> - I'll have a look at this issue and I'll try to remove the duplicate. 3) Your logo displays right for me here :) karlvonkries on "Serveral Issues - how to kill slider entirely, 'doubled' home page, and logo" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/serveral-issues-how-to-kill-slider-entirely-doubled-home-page-and-logo#post-11054 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 04:06:47 +0000 karlvonkries 11054@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi! Like the theme, actually trying to get a similar look to <a href="http://nurulight.com" rel="nofollow">http://nurulight.com</a> for my project. My website is <a href="http://lightmanufacturingllc.com" rel="nofollow">http://lightmanufacturingllc.com</a> q1) I used a 'never true' eval function in the header to shut the image slider off entirely, is this the best way? q2) I set the page "Welcome to Light Manufacturing" as my static home page in Settings / Reading. BUT - now I have a Home page AND a Welcome to LightManufacturing page (the home page is duplicate content). How can I get rid of the duplication? q3) I replaced logo.png with a correctly sized replacement. BUT - the image is now overlapping with the nice faded gradient at the top of the page (take a look, you'll see). How can I fix this? Thanks very much! - Karl
