In reply to: Posts Page Featured ImageIf I’m understanding you correctly, this will work:
<?php $news_page_featured_image = get_the_post_thumbnail( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ); ?>Question:
In what template file have you placed this code?

In reply to: Major problems with a theme used for clientAs you purchased your Theme from ThemeForest, which is a commercial Theme market and which provides its own commercial support, you should consult the support offerings of ThemeForest for specific support for this Theme.

In reply to: Windows application for editing php theme / html files?I would stick with a simple text editor. Notepad is fine, but something like Notepad++ adds syntax highlighting, and is what I use when in Windows.

2. What do you have set for Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading -> Front Page Displays?Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Installing a new theme – but t's a folder!Just of the site wordpress.org. I am an FTP client. This issue is probably something small but still did not manage to upload a new theme.
If you’re wanting to install a Theme hosted on wordpress.org, why even bother with downloading it, and then uploading it?
Instead, just install it directly:
1. In your WP-Admin, go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes
2. Then click the “Install Themes” tab
3. Then search for the Theme you want to install
4. Then select the Theme, and click “Install”Voila! The Theme is now installed.
Yes, but this one has a “Contact” link, which was why I posted it.
That “Contact” link won’t go to the Theme developer. The web site is just an aggregator, and as far as I can tell, isn’t affiliated with the Theme developer.

In reply to: Links in a post not working.to me, it seems to be theme issue, as the theme does not have any formatting for links to make them stand out from the text.
I am fairly certain that this is not a Theme issue.
To verify: switch to the default Theme (i.e. Twenty Eleven), and verify whether this issue is reproducible or not.
In the Lynda course they were making changes in the original template files…
Ay de mi! Making any changes to the original Theme’s template files pretty much completely defeats the purpose of using a Child Theme.

In reply to: Links in a post not working.I want to highlight the word, then if it’s clicked on, it will bring people to that website.
What do you mean by “highlight” the word?
I enter the URL and when I hit preview…
Does the link appear in the published post? Are you using the Link button properly?
I have never in my entire time using WordPress seen the insert-link button not work as expected…

In reply to: Create a Menu on Theme ActivationThis is a bad idea. Why would you create a menu on Theme Activation? You have no idea what the end user would want to include in the menu.

In reply to: how to edit and change the link at the bottom of themeEven better: try using a non-crappy Theme, that doesn’t inject spam links in your footer in the first place.
I suggest starting with the official WordPress Theme repository.
@peredur that link just links to the URL already posted by the OP.

In reply to: Template Page looks different on "home" and "static" pageAlso, this thread is a duplicate. Original here:

In reply to: Time bombed Theme destructs on editing the Footer.phpActually, I’ll guarantee that premiumwp is 100% correct. The Theme you’re working with is malware, that includes spammy footer links, footer-modification kill code, and, I’m guessing, encrypted footer code as well.
I don’t care what the name of the Theme is; I guarantee that it’s not released under a GPL-compatible license.
And as such, no support will be provided for such a Theme in this forum, as per the stated forum policy.
I would recommend starting with a Theme from the official WordPress Theme repository, rather than the crappy Theme you’re currently trying to use.

In reply to: Template Page looks different on "home" and "static" pagePlease refer to the WordPress Theme Template Hierarchy to understand the differences between the
home.phpandpage.phptemplate files.(Note: “home” does not refer to the site front page, but rather to the blog posts index.)
