Reduce or increase number of thumbs on front page

I would like to increase or reduce the number of thumbs on the front page to much the rows of 3 - if you catch my drift. 9 would be good, 12 even better, to infinity and beyond would rock.

Could someone help?

Cheers,
A

Hi!
sorry for my english, I hope you can understand guys:)

I want to use this theme (wpesp) for my portfolio/and for my blog posts. I had solved some dilemas with the contact/about pages. I also find I plugin that makes a Blog page inside this blog template where the work entries are separated from the post (just text) entries. And I also have some problem what I can't solve:
a. I didn't find how to set up the "hCard" -information. And in many pages this is inactive.
b. When I make a post that insn't in the "featured/work" category in the post page didn't appear the content text or anything. (I want to use for this posts that blog in blog plugin that works fine until the page that inlines these post titles/description/date/tags. And when I click on one of the titles [these posts aren't in the work/featured category] it's open a post where I haven't the content text or image, just the header and the footer.
c. and for that "second blog" page (not the works) anybody knows a plugin or somthing that makes a sidebar?
d. I suppose I have more than 6 works what I want to show and this is not the works page(link). Where could I present it? In another blog page where appears posts with "work" category?

and another: in this page (link) there is a NEW! tag on the first project. where can i set up this?

thanx
s.

Just like AichandMokie and step_ton, I would like to add a blog page to my site.

Does anyone have a simple solution for this? I'm struggling to even get the new page styled.

Thanks in advance.

For those having hCard problems.

It isn't really clear from the instructions but what you must do is edit the portfolio_custom-write-panel.php file.

Find the line

if ($post->ID == 2 or $post->ID == 33) { // If is About (in our case id=5) or Contact (in our case id=89) page

And change your category ID numbers there (in my case 2 and 33) to match the corresponding ones for your 'about' and 'contact' pages. You should then have those custom fields for use under the hCard section in the edit page for 'about' and 'contact'.

I'm confused about how to upload my images (work/featured samples; about photo) so they format with the template correctly. I am unsure what options I'm supposed to be choosing under "Alignment" & "Size" in the uploader window. I keep trying but my images don't format on the page correctly.

Also, will the slider work once I get the images uploaded correctly or do I need to do something else to activate it?

Thanks!

site i'm working on is http://www.erinblythe.com

Can someone please let me know what I've done wrong here? I have included a list of my pages and their corresponding page and cateogory ID's. I can't see my uploaded images and how do i make work my home page?

MY PAGES:
About: page_id=402 http://www.erinblythe.com/about/
Contact: page_id=91 http://www.erinblythe.com/contact-me/
Work: page_id=86 http://www.erinblythe.com/work
--View Case Study: (Work Page selected as parent) page-id=470 http://www.erinblythe.com/work/view-case-study/

MY CATEGORIES:
work: cat_id=3
--featured: (work as parent) cat_id=4

NUMBER FIELDS I HAVE REVISED IN .PHP FILES:
--index.php
if (is_category(work) or is_category(featured)):
// Category Work | http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/category-work.php');
elseif( in_category(3) ) :
// Post in Category Work (in our case ID 3) *View Case Study* | http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page & http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/in_category#Use_OUTSIDE_The_Loop
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/work.php');

--port custom write panel:
foreach($hcard_meta_boxes as $meta_box) {
if ($post->ID == 402 or $post->ID == 91) { // If is About (in our case id=402) or Contact (in our case id=91) page
$meta_box_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box['name'].'_value', true);

-port panel:
<div class="stick">
<?php if (in_category(4)): // Featured Category (in our case id=4) ?>
<img class="new" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style/images/new.png" width="66" height="28" alt="New!" />

This looks a lot like my site did before I got the cat IDs in order. But, I think it will be hard to troubleshoot this without seeing your admin panel.

Hi guys, WPESP theme is great!!

But i have one problem: i want to have lot of projects in my WORK category, but NOT FEATURE all of them.

If i mark Category: Work, the case study appears, but also Featured.
If i mark Categody: Uncategorized, the Featured disappears, but also my work page is blank.

Whatever i do, all projects show up on Featured page.

I love this theme! Thanks alot!!

One thing I did adjust were the buttons, I made them slightly bigger, and more stylish (IMHumbleO). I also re-tweaked them again to include a light green on the right and a light red on the left to discourge anyone pressing the left button by mistake at start.
I have included both versions of the buttons, and instructions how to implement them. Requires adusting of two files - very easy.

Just follow the link to get the .zip file containing the pics and look at the readme.txt for instructions - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tniljuhm5yz

Did you read this from this early from this thread by mtonumaa(helped me the blank page);

First of all, I would like to thank Víctor García for creating this theme and making it free, which is good. It saves a lot of time when you dont have to search for a premium theme hosted somewhere on the internet.

I downloaded WPESP theme straight away as I saw it, but when I dropped it to my wp-content/themes/ directory and activated through Admin Panel it seemed to be kinda empty. Well, it was empty, despite 6 test posts.

No worries everybody, it's all working now and I've got the steps that you need do to make it work. It took me quite some time (tutorial at wpesp.com isn't worth to be called tutorial), so I'm going to share it with you in order to save your time.

So I go:

1. Navigate to Categories in your Admin Panel and make a new one called Work. After you do so, create another one called Featured and under Category Parent select category you created a second ago - Work. All of your works are going to be posted under Work category and only the chosen ones under Featured. Thats simple.

2. Go and write few test posts under Work and Featured categories and don't forget to fill up Portfolio Post Settings which is bellow the writing area at your New Post screen. Thumb Panel Image and Panel Image will be resized automatically so it's all good.

If you checked your website now, you should probably see that it's working. Well, not yet. Try to click on any post you want and im sure that you'll see an empty page. Am I right? Damn yeah. To avoid this, you need to:

3. Click on Categories at your Admin Panel and move your mouse over Work category in order to edit it (press Edit). Well, stop right there. Now look at the address bar and you should see long url with the ending of something like this:

/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=27

You can clearly see, that my Work category ID is 27, not 3 like it's set by default in index.php.

What you need to do now is open Index.php file for editing and find line 7 in which you can see

elseif( in_category(3) ) :.

That 3 in there is by default and is no good for most of us, unless you have a fresh install of wordpress. So change number 3 to YOUR Work category ID and save it.

Visit your page, it should be working as a charm now.

P.S. English aint my national language, so pardon for any mistakes I did. Just wanted to help you out there, fellas.

Peace out,
Justafa

Just sharing some info that might prove useful for those having trouble posting their work images correctly. I certainly needed this info to get mine up and running. The fact that the View Case Study image is added to the post via the Post Editing Area didn't come intuitively to me AT ALL. But most of this hasn't, so maybe it's me. Anyways, here's what I was told to do by a very helpful member of this message board.

First, create a folder on your server for your portfolio images, then upload your post images to that folder.

View Case Study image = 655px x 491px. You insert this image to your post via the Post Editing Area. In the Post Editing Area select the "Add an Image" icon, then select the "by URL" tab. Insert the Case Study image's URL. Next to "Alignment" tick "Left". Then click "Insert into Post".

Thumb Panel image = 276px x 115px. In the same post, add the Thumb Panel image url to its corresponding custom field box.

Slider Panel image = 359px x 269px. In the same post add the Slider Panel image url to its corresponding custom field box. (Because my View Case Study image and Slider Panel Image share the same image ratio, I do not upload a 359x269 image to my server. Instead I use the same image url as I do for the View Case Study page and the theme scales down the image appropriately. Meaning, for every post I upload two images to my server - one that is 655px x 491px, which is used for the Panel Slider and the View Case Study page, and one that is 276px x 115px, which is used for the Thumb Panel.)

I'm sure there are different ways of going about this, but this is what has worked for me. Hope it helps!

Hi All,
First of all great theme! its absolutely fantastic!

My Question :
I would like to have a regular blog page in the site in addition to the portfolio page.

Global Nav to look something like this - (Work | About | Contact | BLOG)

I have tried in my crude way to modify the code, create a new template, this and that but still it doesn’t seem to work.

How do i make a template or change the code to display blog posts that are NOT of the work and featured categories. Also, show the categories, comments boxes (just like a regular blog)

Anyone?

Hello,

I managed to make work all, except Contact and About.
Thanks to this forum...taking informations in every post.

when I try to swap the code as it is said in the tutorial part
in cform.php file, the plug is automatically desactivated because of
an error.
Here is the message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /mnt/158/free.fr/e/9/pierrox/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php on line 615

...as I'am not a developper at all I really don't know what to do.

I can't go further I'm blocked at this step and it is very frustrating
I wouldlike so much to make this potfolio work.

Is there anybody here for helping me.

Thanks

Anyone know how you can use WPESP theme and have a static webpage front, instead of showing a category? I want the catogories to be on different buttons and not the front page.

Thanks for the theme Victor.

I have difficulties on separating each scope of work into single main menu. I want my menu will be like LOGO | PRINTS | ILLUSTRATION | WEB | ABOUT | CONTACT.
Request similar to titho2 were asking.

Just like what momothemonster did.
But with a little difference.

I need the front page will act like what's originated on the theme
And if they click the Logo or prints, the work will show listed on small boxes. Like the ones on the front page.

How to do this?

momothemonster can you share what you did to WPESP theme to make it work like in yours. That'll be soo great.

Thank you

hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I am working on some more modifications to this theme that should make it easier to use. I've contacted Victor to see if he's OK with me releasing it (giving him credit, naturally). It would incorporate a lot of the upcoming changes in 2.9.

Hi. I'm attempting to build a portfolio site with this theme. I'm wondering if there's a way to show multiple views per project. For instance, for one project, I want to show several images, but not have a new post for each image. Is there a way to do this? Here is my site as is (work in progress): http://milescaldwell.com

Much thanks to norcross for all the assistance!

Hey guys...

I installed WPESP today and evertything worked very well, except for my ABOUT page. It keeps showing the post content information all along above the <h2> wrappers! I checked the ABOUT.PHP file a thousand times and nothing. Then I started to look up for something that could be doing this, but again, I found nothing.

If any of you could help me, I'd be glad...

Check out the page: http://luisabarwinski.com/about

Thanks for the previous information!

Thanks to Victor for making the theme available.

Does anyone know if this theme fully supports cascading navigation and - if so - to what number of levels?

Does it support the PixoPoint plug-in? (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pixopoint-menu/)

Has anyone tried this?

Any thoughts / ideas appreciated

@norcross, I'd love to see the WPESP theme with the modifications you made. I think it would be good to have the WORK page be the HOME page and have a separate PORTFOLIO page for all the projects. I see milescaldwell got this working, I'd love to make this work for my site!
