Hi,
My client has asked me to remove the search field in the upper right and the "Latest News" posts in the bottom right. How can I go about doing that? I'm having trouble identifying what creates these sections, etc.
Thanks!

Hey,
To remove the search form, open up header.php, find and remove this code:
<?php get_search_form(); ?>To remove the Latest News widget, open up index.php find and remove this code:
<div class='box box_small box3'> <div class='widget'> <?php $latest_posts = new kriesi_list_post_items; $latest_posts->recent_posts('Latest News'); ?> </div> </div> <!--end box_small-->Hope this helps!

Just ask if you need any further help :)

Thanks! OK, here's something that's bothering me:
1. Currently I'm using a specific post category for a static image on the homepage; when I click this image, it takes me to the post. On the post page, I still see the default placeholder widgets from Themeforest; why is that? How do I get rid of them?
2. What is the best way to use a static image for the homepage? By just setting the "Big Image Slider" to one category?
3. Can I link that image to anything I want, or does it have to be that category/post the image from?
Here's the website I'm working on, if it helps:

Hey,
1) You replace the dummy widgets with custom widgets under Appearance > Widgets. Just drag'n'drop any widget into the empty widget fields/areas (i.e. text widget, page widget, etc.).2) Yes - create a slider category and assign some posts to it. The slider will only show this category.
3) The slider images link to the posts by default however you can set a custom field called "frontpage-link". Type in the url in the value field - you can link to any page/post/category or external url you like.

Glad that I could help you :)

Hi Dude,
Regarding my question #3, I don't see options for "frontpage-link" anywhere; can you explain to me a bit more how to use this feature? Linking to any page/post/category or external url would be ideal, as I want to start making the blog posts separate from home images.
Thanks!

Hey,
You have to create a custom field called frontpage-link and add the URL of your choice as its value. If you don't see Custom Fields as an option, under screen options (top right of the WP admin screen) check the "custom fields" option and you should see a box similar to this: http://www.cl.ly/1Q3A0k1L0s0j2W0C3D3p

Hi,
Where would one normally find "Custom Fields"? I also do not see it on my "screen options". Here's what I see:

Hey,
You'll only see Custom Fields on a post or page edit screen under Screen Options, where the option is relevant.

You must log in to post.
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :) 
Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will make it possible that you dont even need to wait for my response, because its already there.
