    I love the look of the multiloquent template, but want to see how I can modify a few things:
    – How do I control what order the posts appear in the homepage box?
    – How do I control what order the posts appear at the top of the inside pages?
    – How do I change pictures behind each post, so each post has it’s own picture – on inside pages at least?
    – How do I hide the recent posts at the bottom of the page?

    Thanks.

    Hi

    the order of the posts can be controlled in one of two ways:
    1) the default is ‘newest post first’
    2) if you install the top10 plugin then it will show your top posts
    unfurtunately there isnt a manual order (you cant pick the things to show)

    the category pages behave like normal wordpress category pages (ie newest post first or sticky posts at the top if you have any sticky posts)

    images are set with the featured image feature in wordpress (but have a default image if none is set)

    the ‘recent posts’ will be part of your sidebar: the sidebars are dynamic – check the wordpress user guide (apperance > widgets)

    Awesome, thank you for the quick response. I did realize last night that I could change the order by changing the publish date on the posts.

    Just one more question. How can I make the colors of the boxes match the colors of my logo? I don’t want them to change when I refresh. Is this possible?

    Hi

    the boxes colour comes from the ‘label’ colour (its set by the bootstrap theme)

    There isnt a way (other than modifying the code) to select colours yet

    in apperance > customise you can switch the base colour scheme – some have different coloured labels – you might be able to get something close

    I will give that a try. Is there a way to hide the text that appears over the images on the inside pages? See my current programs: http://www.fcbasketball.com/?p=1

    Thanks for all the help.

    Jonathan, you said I could modify the code to change the colors? Do you mean the css? I tried that and it didn’t work. So I am guessing you meant inline coding of the template. If you make it so the colors are something I can change myself, easily, I would love to know. Thanks again.

    Hi πŸ™‚

    It would probably be best to add it to the wordpress theme api parts in function-definitions.php

    If I get time this weekend ill try to add something so that this can be changed in the wp-admin section πŸ˜€

    Jonathan, hopefully just one last question…The post title appears in the middle of my image on my inside pages, and it interferes with the image. How do I remove this? Anything I do to that H1 tag removes the image. Thanks again for all your help, Betty

    Hi πŸ™‚

    Unfortunately you cant change the H1 tag and keep the image on the single posts pages:
    the image is set as the background to the h1 tag (so that the image can be correctly scaled and centred using css3 techniques)

    Dang, it’s really distracting having the text over the images. If you find a way to keep the image and lose the text, please let me know. Thanks for answering.
