   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?

1. 8. headsetop | March 18, 2007 #

   @ 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 >:

   p
   ?php bloginfo(’description’); ?
   /p

   That should show the tag line. Let me know if it worked!

1. 9. Sean | March 18, 2007 #

   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.

1. 10. trainwrecka | March 18, 2007 #

   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)

1. 12. headsetop | April 7, 2007 #

   @ 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

1. 13. jen | April 8, 2007 #

   Okay then, anyway to have it show whole posts then instead of just titles?

1. 14. hso | April 9, 2007 #

   @ Jen

   Email me your copy of the archive.php at headsetop [at] yahoo [dot] com

1. 15. jen | May 2, 2007 #

   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?

1. 16. hso | May 2, 2007 #

   @ 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!

1. 17. Pali Dhar | June 22, 2007 #

   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

1. 21. hso | August 11, 2007 #

   @ 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.

1. 22. Heikki | August 12, 2007 #

   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…

   thanks a lot

1. 24. hso | August 12, 2007 #

   @ Heikki

   Open sidebar.php (or Sidebar from WP Admin) and look for this:

   <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

   Replace the line with this code:

   <?php wp_list_cats("sort_column=name&optioncount=$c&hierarchical=$h"); ?>

   That should do it.

1. 25. Heikki | August 12, 2007 #

   Hso,

   I tried that but it didnt work…it is like this now in my template sidebar.php:

1. 26. Heikki | August 12, 2007 #

1. 27. Heikki | August 12, 2007 #

   <?php _e('Categories:'); ?></h2>
   <ul>
   <?php wp_list_cats("sort_column=name&optioncount=$c&hierarchical=$h"); ?>
   </ul>

1. 28. hso | August 13, 2007 #

   @ Heikki

   Can you send me your site URL either via this comment or email it to me and I can take a look.

1. 29. Heikki | August 13, 2007 #

   Hso, site is http://www.ilmsoft.com

   thanks

1. 30. hso | August 13, 2007 #

   @ 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:

   <?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1'); ?>

1. 31. Heikki | August 13, 2007 #

   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

1. 32. hso | August 13, 2007 #

   @ Heikki

   Open style.css and find this:

   #col ul li a {display:block; padding:3px 0 3px 22px; background:url(”design/ico_archive.gif”) 5px 6px no-repeat; text-decoration:none;}

   Change the display from block to inline, you code should look like this:

   #col ul li a {display:inline; padding:3px 0 3px 22px; background:url(”design/ico_archive.gif”) 5px 6px no-repeat; text-decoration:none;}

   That will fix it.

1. 33. Heikki | August 13, 2007 #

   Great,, thanks a lot that was perfect

1. 34. Heikki | August 13, 2007 #

   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…

1. 35. hso | August 13, 2007 #

   @ Heikki

   Just change the category tag from what you have to this:

   <?php _e('Categories:'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats("sort_column=name&title_li=&optioncount=$c&hierarchical=$h"); ?>
</ul>

   Adding the

   title_li=

   hides the list heading.

1. 36. Laurie | August 14, 2007 #

   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

1. 37. Juergen | August 29, 2007 #

   Sorry guys, that was a very nice template, designed by NUVIO, which you fucked up… Sorry, no commendation…

1. 38. Jami | August 29, 2007 #

   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

1. 39. hso | September 7, 2007 #

   @ Jami
   It looks fine in IE7 on my computer, what is your screen resolution?

1. 40. D.J. | December 25, 2007 #

   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 !

1. 41. hso | December 25, 2007 #

   @ 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!

1. 43. hso | January 29, 2008 #

   @ 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:

   <a href=”http://www.headsetoptions.org/faqs/” title=”FAQ page”>FAQ</a>

   Note how I used the full URI and not just

   <a href=”/faqs/” title=”FAQ page”>FAQ</a>

   link in the old days with HTML.

   Try this with your full URI and let us know if it works.

   Hi friends,

   I have just ported CrystalX wordpress theme to CrystalX XML blogger template

   You can get it at my blog

1. 46. nate | July 22, 2008 #

   Three questions:

   1. my unordered lists aren’t showing the actual bullet points. It’s just showing as one big blob of text.

   2. How can I alter the font and font size for both article content and article title?

   3. I want to shrink the negative space between the Article Title and the start of the content. Right now, it looks like 10 pxls or so of space. I need it to be more like 5.

   Thanks

   Nate

1. 47. nate | July 22, 2008 #

   One more thing: how do I redirect the “discuss” link to my site’s discussion board?

1. 48. hso | July 26, 2008 #

   @ Nate

   I just checked your site’s blog which is using the theme and the UL seem to be fine. If the issue is with the rest of the site you might want to check the CSS for the main site with the blog (theme) and make the necessary changes to the site styles.

   To change heading and body text size, open style.css and look for these:

   body {border:0; margin:0; padding:0; background:#F2F5FE url(”design/bg.gif”) 0 0 repeat-x; font:70%/160% “verdana”,sans-serif; color:#192666; _text-align:center;}

   and

   h1 {font-size:180%; line-height:100%; font-family:”georgia”,serif; font-weight:normal;}

   Make the changes to font sizes defined in percentage.

   To make change to the padding between the heading and content, look for this code in style.css:

   #content .article h1 {margin:0 -20px; padding:10px; background:#DEE5FD url(”design/content_title_bg.gif”) 0 0 repeat-y; color:#192666;}

   Reduce the padding from 10px to what you need.

   Also, the discuss link is not powered by our theme, so I am guessing it is on your site using the same template, open header or the main template and hard code the link to your form.
