rename "Home" in Wasteland theme

[Mina]

To adjust the settings of the author box go into style.css and find this line:

  Code:

#author-box { width: 90%; min-height: 115px; margin: 10px 10px 20px 10px; padding: 0 10px 10px 10px; background: #b3a381; border: #3f3013 1px solid; }

Adjust the width and height as you see fit.

For the header go into header.php and simply delete or comment out the following 2 lines:

  Code:

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>

That will keep the blog title and tagline from showing.

Good afternoon Mina,

I was wondering if you can answer a question? I want to install an HTML "Share" and "language translator" bar on every page and post of my site without having to go to all 144 pages / posts and doing it. Isn't there a way to just install them on a PHP template one time? I have tried it on the page PHP and single PHP and a couple of others but no luck. I can get in on the footer PHP but is really screws the footer up. Can you help?

[Mina]

As far as I know something like that should just be placed in a template (ie page or single). Or there should be a widget. I would double check with the plugins author(s) and see what they say about installation.

Hello Mina, I hope all is well with you:) I would like to know on the Wasteland theme more specifically here: http://www.laderaranchlife.com, how I can have my gravatar photo appear as a thumbnail at the top of any postings instead of at the bottom. I have attached a screenshot of what I am thinking I would like as a small thumbnail photo for the top of my postings. Can you help or advise me how to do this?

[Mina]

Try adding this code:

  Code:

<?php $author_email = get_the_author_email(); echo get_avatar($author_email, '80', 'wavatar'); ?>

to index.php directly above this line:

  Code:

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

You can change the size of the gravatar by changing the '80' in the first line of code I gave you. This can also be added to single.php, page.php and probably anywhere you have that second line of code.

Does that help?

[ericisrael42]

Thanks for the quick reply. No, this didn't work as evidenced by the attached screen shots. The first one is the changes I made which I highlighted in red in index.php. The 2nd one is after I refreshed from adding in the code to index.php. Still no thumbnail, just text that says "posted by admin" Any other suggestions?

I went to your site and noticed a few things. First you only seem to have part of the code in your template file as evidenced in the attached image (circled in red):

Secondly I noticed (in the about the author section under your posts) that you don't have a gravatar showing there as it should be...do you have an account setup at gravatar.com? That code is set to work in conjunction with an account from gravatar.com and you need to use the same email address on your blog as you do when signing up at gravatar.com.

The third thing is that I see your site is setup with a static page as your home page. So I assume your using a template for your blog posts...try adding the code there.

[ericisrael42]

Actually, I had tried it on both of my sites and then deleted the code but I guess I forgot to delete all the code as evidenced in your attachment. My problem was that I didn't have the box checked in the "discussions" admin area to show my gravatar. I had it set to show nothing. Once I put in your code, it worked perfect. Thanks so much. You are really unbelievable.

Good...glad it's working!
