Hi!

Like the theme, actually trying to get a similar look to http://nurulight.com
for my project. My website is http://lightmanufacturingllc.com

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!

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:

<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{ ?>
            <!-- WANT TO EDIT YOUR SLIDESHOW IMAGES DIRECTLY? ADD ANY NUMBER OF IMAGES YOU LIKE BELOW-->

            <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><!-- end main_transition-->

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: kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com - I'll have a look at this issue and I'll try to remove the duplicate.

3) Your logo displays right for me here :)

Hi Dude -

Thanks for reply,

I will test your new code (removing the 'main_transition' section.

Regarding the doubled home page,
The theme's header line
<div id="head">
<h1 id='logo'>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<ul id="nav">
<li <?php if(is_front_page()){ echo "class='current_page_item' ";}?>>">Home

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'>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></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.
