Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: create a new text menu above or below the headerAre you saying that I should stay clear of the themes on http://newwpthemes.com?
Absolutely. Stay far away from sites like that:
1. They mis-apply the Creative Commons license, by claiming that CC-By means that they can require you to display arbitrary links
2. They include spammy footer links
3. They include kill code that will prevent the Theme from working if you modify the footer links
4. They use encryption to hide the footer link code
5. They hide their spammy footer links from their demo
6. They want you to pay for a link-removal license, just to use their Themes without displaying spammy linksStay far, far away from such sites, and the Themes they distribute.
First, I would recommend making any changes in a Child Theme.
This should be pretty simple to update. Copy
post-entry.phpinto your Child Theme, and change this:( // WordPress conditional tag that returns true if // the current page is an archive index page is_archive() // WordPress conditional tag that returns true if // the current page is a search results page || is_search()…to this:
( // WordPress conditional tag that returns true if // the current page is an archive index page is_archive() // WordPress conditional tag that returns true if // the current page is a search results page || is_search() // WordPress conditional tag that returns true if // the current page is the blog posts index || is_home()Forum: Themes and Templates

Also: please don’t thread-jack.

In reply to: Couldn't find database jqueryc_db helpI am having the same problem on my website and Need HELP badly.
ThanksIt appears you’re using the Broadway Theme from ThemeForest? If so, you should seek support from the Theme developer, as that is a commercial Theme.

In reply to: [Oenology] Changing The font Colour (Oenology Theme)I just went into the varietal stylesheet and made the change.
Please note that I do not support, and strongly discourage changing the style sheet directly. This change will be overwritten when the Theme is updated.
But, I’m glad you got it working. 🙂
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Oenology] Changing The font Colour (Oenology Theme)Thanks for the kind words. 🙂 I’m happy to see the Theme being put to good use!
You need to target
.title, .widgettitle, the color for which is defined in the varietal stylesheet, that loads after style.css.To override, e.g. to make the text black, add the following to your Child Theme
functions.phpfile (or to a site Plugin):function oenology_child_custom_styles() { ?> <style type="text/css"> .title, .widgettitle { color: #000; } </style> <?php } add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'oenology_child_custom_styles', 99 );You need to hook into
wp_print_styles, with a very high priority, to ensure that this style outputs after the varietal stylesheet is loaded, in order to ensure that the CSS rules cascade properly.For future reference, using Firefox Firebug and/or Chrome Developer Tools is extremely helpful in determining what CSS rules are being applied to a given element.

In reply to: [Oenology] Changing The font Colour (Oenology Theme)Do you have a live link to the site in question?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Oenology] Changing The font Colour (Oenology Theme)There are a couple of options:
1) Use a dark, rather than a light, color scheme. The dark color schemes have lighter font colors.
2) Use a Child Theme, and set the font color to whatever you want.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Creative Commons verses GPLforgive me for assuming that because the WordPress dev community has expressed an opinion on an issue that there would be a reason for that opinion.
I’m doing my best to point you in the right direction, but please understand: this is a moot issue for most of us. Official WPORG policy requires that all WPORG-hosted code must be 100% GPL-compatible. The vast majority of us have debated license issues ad nauseum in the past, and have no desire to get into such debates again.
If your question is in the context of WPORG-hosted code: CC-BY-SA is not GPL-compatible, and therefore not appropriate.
If your question is not in the context of WPORG-hosted code, then I refer you back to @esmi’s suggestion above, to ask FSF/GNU directly.

In reply to: Creative Commons verses GPLChip: once again, that statement applies to software. It doesn’t address the situation I described.
Okay: how is CC-BY “attribution” being compelled for these images?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: background image was "confusing"Yes, Chip, your unnecessary update to a 10 hour old thread was very helpful.
Perhaps not to you. But to later viewers of this thread, it will be helpful in preventing more diffusion of Review ticket-specific questions from Trac to the forums.

In reply to: Creative Commons verses GPLJust FY: Creative Commons themselves freely claim that only CC0 (public domain) is compatible with GPL.
One of the main reasons that CC-BY-SA is not GPL-compatible is that it does not require transference of source.
Beyond that, the reasons are in the technical legal differences between the licenses.

In reply to: background image was "confusing"Please discuss in-ticket. The support forum won’t be helpful in this case.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Creative Commons verses GPLAccording to GNU, CC-BY-SA is not GPL-compatible:
This is a copyleft free license that is good for artistic and entertainment works, and educational works. Please don’t use it for software or documentation, since it is incompatible with the GNU GPL and with the GNU FDL.
I could link many other sources that discuss the GPL-incompatibility of all CC licenses, but this should be sufficient.

In reply to: Oenology front page layoutI could add the Front Page to the Layout Options, so that it would be easily configurable. I’ve never been especially happy with the front page, and am open to ideas for improvement.
Thanks for using Oenology!
