Just downloaded Crystalx and love it. I have to admit that I’m not a serious or experienced blogger. I have been looking for something clean and appear to have found it.
My one question, how can I modify this so that the tagline appears in the header?
March 18th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
@ Sean
I would open header.php and look for a h3 tag for bloginfo, this calls the blog name. Right below that, I would add these lines of code, each one within a < and >:
That should show the tag line. Let me know if it worked!
March 18th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Thanks for taking the time to help.
Unfortunately, it didn’t really work for me. The description is showing up but at the very top of the page…not inside the title bar.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
great themes! question:
how can i get the links to not be underlined? having each post underlined doesn’t look right to me.

Hi guys I have another question on another blog i’m running…
I want the archive category search to show more than 10 post titles… I’ve looked and looked and can’t find the magic button in the code or php files, but then I’m not the brightest bulb.
I’d like like 50 or even all (I don’t have many posts on this one so it’s not a big deal)
April 7th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
@ Jen
Actually, that number is set based on the number of posts you have in the first/index/home page. So if you have 10 posts in the main page, you will get 10 search results, 10 archive results and so forth. This setting can be found/changed at WP Admin > Options > Reading
April 7th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Okay then, anyway to have it show whole posts then instead of just titles?
April 8th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
@ Jen
Email me your copy of the archive.php at headsetop [at] yahoo [dot] com
April 9th, 2007 at 8:16 am
will be sending you the archive page (I haven’t edited it though), totally slipped my mind, bu one other question…
can’t hand add v/hspace to images in the entries. What css img class am I looking for to add it in css?
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:40 am
@ Jen
You can make one for the content area alone by adding this code in the content section of style.css:
#content img {border:X; margin:Y; padding:Z;}
Replace X,Y, and Z with some valid number with px, like 5px, 3px, whatever!

I’d like to inform you that I ported the template to plosxom: http://palidhar.nonlogic.org/index.php/plosxom/crystalx
Of course it retains the GPL and mentions the credits. Thanks for this great template.

I wanted to do the same with this template but as I am new in wordpress I dont know where to change it…
Especially when one clicks on category I wanted that category posts are displayed the same way as the main page displays them… any helps??
thanks

@ Heikki
If you need all archive and categories to display as full posts instead of lists, all you will need to do is remove the archive.php file from the theme folder. What this will do is default all such posts to index.php format.
August 11th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Hi hso.. thanks a lot. u r genious.. it worked..
Now i have another question: how can I make category list in sidebar also show the total number of posts ..like if we say category list in sidebar is like this:
News(12)
Downloads(23)
Tutorias(3)
etc…

Open sidebar.php (or Sidebar from WP Admin) and look for this:
Replace the line with this code:
That should do it.
August 12th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Hso,
I tried that but it didnt work…it is like this now in my template sidebar.php:

@ Heikki
You are using WordPress version 2.2.1 and the code I pasted above is deprecated for 2.1 and above. Instead, use this:
August 13th, 2007 at 6:20 am
Hso,
thanks a lot.. now this one works but number is shown under not next to category name…
u can see it here http://www.ilmsoft.com

Open style.css and find this:
Change the display from block to inline, you code should look like this:
That will fix it.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:05 am
Great,, thanks a lot that was perfect
August 13th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Sorry one last question.. what is the way to get rid of second word category.. after that now I have 2 word “categories” coming up…
August 13th, 2007 at 10:26 am
@ Heikki
Just change the category tag from what you have to this:
Adding the
hides the list heading.

I love this theme and have managed to change a few things, like the font size for the article titles even though I am completely clueless about editing templates. This one is so close to what I want, the only thing I would like to change is the font size of the article content. Is there a way to make it larger? Considering the audience for my blog is targeted at middle aged folks, I’d like people to read it without looking for their reading glasses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
August 14th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Sorry guys, that was a very nice template, designed by NUVIO, which you fucked up… Sorry, no commendation…

Hi!
I love this template, but i’m experiencing difficulties in IE 7 —
the image in the header disappears!
It works fine in IE 6 and Firefox.
Any thoughts? the site in question is at the following URL: http://www.washoe.lib.nv.us/librarianschoice
August 29th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
@ Jami
It looks fine in IE7 on my computer, what is your screen resolution?
September 7th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Hello,
Probably a simple question, but I don’t where to look nor how to fix it. I did look around the css stylesheet, but nothing leaped out at me.
I want to move the sidebar to the left side of the pages/posts.
Thanks !
December 25th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
@ D.J.
First off, the large images in your post are breaking the theme even in FF!
With that said, to answer your question-
The CSS has both the #content and #col (right sidebar) float left, which means, to make the sidebar go to the left, all you need to do it structurally place it ahead of the content. To do so, open index.php (and all other files with same structure like archive, page search, single) and move the < ? php get_sidebar(); ? > over (before) the < div id="content" >
This should work and if you run into some issues, check the paddings and margins on each #content and #col style and make sure they are not in conflict.

Hello:
We have this nice theme on an in-house blog. I want to add to the horizontal menu in the header which right now contains this in the header.php file:
<a href=”/”>Home
I want to add tabs for three previously blog entries so I added the horizonal menu like this for example:
<a href=”About
which I added after the ‘home’ code
and, while the ‘About’ tab appeared just fine, it did not link to the URL noted.
Any advise on how to fix would be most appreciated!

@ Michelle Ayers
The codes obviously got eaten up by the comment form. I will try and answer your question in any case with some assumptions:
To add a URI (no matter what the URI is), you need to do the following.
Assume you want to create a link to the FAQs page in your header. The first thing you need to have is the post URI, which in this case it is:
http://www.headsetoptions.org/faqs/
Next you set the HTML up as follows:
Note how I used the full URI and not just
link in the old days with HTML.
Try this with your full URI and let us know if it works.
