Theme overriding wordpress?

    Hello

    Helping a DJ friend to develop his wordpress site. I am a graphic designer, but ok on the html/css, unfortunately not so with php. Anyway, he purchased the dancefloor theme by Gorilla and I have been tweaking it. Most things are fine, but when I insert an external link for the featured image in the main slideshow, I click save and the url disappears. They will only link to the default event page for the image no matter what I do.

    I am now wondering if the theme is actually overriding the normal wordpress functionality. I have also noticed the external links I set-up via custom fields on the small next gen slideshow images – ‘latest releases’ home panel 1 – are also not working.

    Any help will be greatly received as it is driving me up the wall!

    Here is the development url:

    Thanks

    If this is a purchased theme, it is going to be hard for anyone to help. With most themes, I can download a copy and look at the source. Not so if the theme is purchased.

    Yes, a theme could probably cause of the issues you describe but that could be a lot of code to wade through. I’d contact the person the who made the theme.

    Have you tried running the theme with no other plugins at all? Maybe there is a conflict.

    Hi Apljdi

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    That did seem to rectify the situation, so I got the client to purchase a higher level of the theme so that we can get forum support. Carlos at Gorilla is now looking into the issue and I will post back when we find a solution as it may be useful to others.

    Hi Apljdi

    Carlos at Gorilla sorted this out for me. I said that I had read somewhere a good way round the issue was to install custom fields for featured articles. I was not able to do this myself, but he was and now this problem is resolved.

    Thanks
