 * I just grabbed the i3 Theme Classic (Right Edition) by Mickey Cheong over at 
   [http://www.mangoorange.com](http://www.mangoorange.com). I saw it was compatible
   with WP 2.3 and thought I’d give it a try.
 * But, I can’t add a header graphic into the theme. I’ve tried changing the coding
   but my graphic never shows.
 * Also, I can’t get the Site Admin link to show in the meta box in the sidebar.
 * I posted on the theme creator’s forum but it looks sparsely attended. I’m not
   holding my breath for hope there.
 * Is anyone either familiar with this theme or with the problems I’m having and
   capable of assisting me?
 * My blog is located at [CWF Game Cast](http://wargamingforums.com)

 * I can’t help with the header issue, but here is how to get the site admin link
   to show up after you log in. Open the i3theme “functions.php” file and find this;
 *     ```
       <li class="login"><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Directly below the`</ul>`, add this;
 * `<ul class="login"><?php wp_register(); ?></ul>`
 * I did this on i3theme-1-5-right some time ago and it seemed to work fine.I don’t
   see why it shouldn’t work on version 1-6 as well. The login class puts the login
   icon right next to it.
 * Good luck with the header.

 * Clayton: Thanks for that. Any idea how to get an icon to appear to the left of
   that? I see icons for the other items (Entries, RSS, WordPress, Logout) and would
   love to have one show for the Site Admin. Right now it is a little circle because
   of the list.
 * I see the following code near the bottom of the Stylesheet.
 *     ```
       /* meta */
       #meta .site_admin {
       	background: url(images/cog.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       #meta .rss {
       	background: url(images/mini-rss.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       #meta .login {
       	background: url(images/mini-user.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       #meta .check {
       	background: url(images/mini-check.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       #meta .wordpress {
       	background: url(images/mini-wp.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * To me that means an icon should show. The cog.gif image exists on my server in
   the correct place [cog.gif image](http://wargamingforums.com/wp-content/themes/i3theme-1-6-classic/images/cog.gif).

 * where are you trying to add the header graphic, and what are you using for code?
   its hard to help with no info.

 * The header graphic problem was just resolved (and it is in action at my test 
   blog). There’s a couple other problems though.
 * What do I use if I want to put a link to the Post feature like the Site Admin
   setup shown in the post by ClaytonJames?
 * Also, the Nav Menu has boxes for the Pages. How do I make more boxes? I have 
   more pages than boxes. The pages are listed in a 2nd row but only the top row
   has boxes. I’d like boxes to show for the 2nd row and in an ideal world it’d 
   do this automatically no matter how many pages I have (i.e. if there are 3 rows
   of pages it’d make boxes automatically for all 3 rows).
 * Also, is it possible to remove Home from the Nav Menu boxes? It is redundant 
   since the blog title in the header is a link back to the index of the blog.
 * I know there are/will be other things but a few at a time is probably best.

 * _Right now it is a little circle because of the list…
    …To me that means an icon
   should show.
 * Just for giggles, I just installed the “i3Theme Classic 1.6 (Right Edition)” 
   and made the modifications exactly as I suggested above. Icon worked correctly.
   But not the cog image that you mention.
 * This is from the changelog:
 * Version 1.6
    * Site Admin link available in Meta [with icon modified from famfamfam’s
   silk icons ([http://famfamfam.com/](http://famfamfam.com/))
 * OK. I found it in the css no problem, but it doesn’t show by default. Now I’m
   irritated. ‘Gotta make it work because I really like this theme.
 * Here’s how. **Undo everything I told you above**.
 * Do this; Open functions.php. Directly below this line;
    `<li class="login"><?
   php wp_loginout(); ?></li>`
 * add this line;
    `<ul class="site_admin"><?php wp_register(); ?></ul>`
 * -save the file.
 * Now, open sidebar-right.php.
 * Again, directly below this line;
 * `<li class="login"><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>`
 * add this line;
 * `<ul class="site_admin"><?php wp_register(); ?></ul>`
 * I know, I know, it seems a bit odd, but using this modification, I currently 
   have the “cog.gif” showing next to the Site-Admin link.
 * Go figure.
 * Hope it helps.
 * Cj.

 * Update:
 * I must admit, I like that cog better than I do repeating the “mini-user.gif”.
 * About your page problem: Can you organize some topics into parent-child type 
   listings? Worked well for me. Perhaps creatively re-structuring your pages into“
   Page” > “related-subpage” would free up some space for you. The row directly 
   below that page listing works beautifully when listing child/sub-pages. (just
   my opinion).

 * That is very odd but it works. Thanks! I agree about the cog. It is much better.
   I love most Fam Fam icons but the cog is quite nice.
 * Any suggestions on the Nav Bar?

 * I just took a quick look at your site.. looks good.
    It looks like you have a
   ton of content.
 * I hope you find all the mods you need to make the theme work for you.
 * Peace!!

 * @ arickrol
 * Just an update: I was curious about why the site-admin link would not work by
   default in the i3theme right version. It appears that it was probably just a 
   simple omission on the part of the individual who updated the theme. The entries
   I added to the functions and side bar files;
 * `<ul class="site_admin"><?php wp_register(); ?></ul>`
 * Should in fact, according to the revision example in i3theme classic _centered_,
   be as follows:
 * `<?php wp_register('<li class="site_admin">','</li>'); ?>`
 * It seems to work just fine either way. Mystery solved.

 * Thanks for your help. I’ve deleted some pages, and hidden others, plus made one
   a child page. It only shows when people are in the parent page, which is a downer.
   But at least everything fits on 1 line and looks neater.
 * Here’s a query for you. When the DashBar plugin is used, the one that provides
   a bar at the top like on WordPress.com with quick links to the Admin Center and
   Writing a Post, the Search bar that comes with the theme by default is obscured.
 * Any idea how to fix that? The problem is the dashboard shows at the top of the
   screen and the Search bar should be moved down a little.

 * I have never used the plugin you speak of, but if you look
    in your style sheet
   you will find a reference to the search box beginning here;
 * /* search form */
    #searchform { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; background:
   url(images/searchform-bg.png) no-repeat right bottom; height: 37px; width: 210px;
 * You can start by changing “top: 0px;” to “top: 25px;” or 30, or 40 or whatever
   you need. This will move the search bar down on the page, but my gut tells me
   that may be just the start of your adjustments. Maybe not.

 * Thanks for your help. I ended up removing the DashBar plugin. I don’t need it
   and my users tend to give me info for my to write for them instead of them posting
   for themselves.
