• Hello forum,
    I am new to wordpress and would like to understand how the template. I downloaded a free template “Misty-free”, but I can not understand how to change some things:
    1) How can I do to see the block “featured”? (I have installed the Theme but .. I do not see it .. how do I activate it?)
    2) How can I remove the white border in the logo?
    3) How do you enable the block to insert the ads?

    thanks

    #3. Go into the theme folder. Go into the images folder. Upload your ad images here. Name them something like:

    ad1.jpg
    ad2.jpg

    or

    cars.jpg
    baseball.jpg

    Whatever.

    go back to the main theme folder and edit adspot.php

    You need to tell it the image name and the url.

    #2 I don’t see the white box on my site. Did you customize the css?

    How about a link to your site?

    I think that I have attached pictures are clear .. thema those images belong to the original. I installed them … okay .. only that I understand:
    1) how to eliminate the white border in the logo:
    2) how to put the box featured;
    3) how to insert advertisements.

    I have attached pictures that explain everything .. Is there anyone who can tell me what to do to fix my 3 problems

    1. this is a graphic image ( /images/logo.gif ), change it to your own logo

    2. post needs to be in category 8 and have an image url in custom field ‘featured’ –
    or you need to edit ‘featured.php’ and change in second line ‘cat=8’ to the category number of the post you want show in first place

    3. edit ‘adspot.php’ and put your own links and image urls into the four places

    thank you for your reply, however:
    1) I know that this is the image logo.gif, but leaves a white border to central axis’ image … How can I remove .. Where do I see?
    2) the box featured on the home wrappers (in first position), can be activated from control panel? … How can I view?
    3) but the ads are triggered by advertising control panel or only by code?

    how is your understanding of html/css/php?
    you probably need to edit some php files to get what you want, so a little understanding would help a lot.
    you can edit these files from the admin ‘dashboard’ ‘appearance’ ‘editor’.

    let’s work on one thing at the time:
    to see the block ‘featured’ you need to have at least one post in category ‘8’ –
    or you need to change the number 8 in this line to the number of the category you want to see (in featured.php):

    <?php query_posts("showposts=1&cat=8"); ?>

    to see an image with that post, the post needs to have a custom field ‘feature’ with the image url as value.

    can you give a link to your site?
