    Hi Martin,

    From your changes I’ve managed to get rotating tweets to work with the Oxygen theme.

    Thank you!.

    I’m not sure if I have accessed the code in the most efficient way but it’s worked for me? I copied this from the ‘developer log’ from the Plugin Directory developers page . I was able to see a list of your code along with a version marked with the ‘Oxygen mod’.

    Best wishes,

    David

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you for your quick response.

    No luck I’m afraid. I’ve loaded the version linked to your last post version 1.4.4 but unfortunately I can’t seem to get the feed to rotate?

    I’ve also attempted to comment out the oxygen_cycle line from the functions.php file with no success.

    I’ve checked this on Safari, Firefox and Chrome to check if it was to do with the browser.

    Any thoughts welcome.

    With thanks,

    David

    I found a simpler solution to this particular problem. The digital raindrops theme already has a separate template for a mobile header along with the relevant function.php code to call it.
    Increasing the padding below the header image when the mobile header is called solved this problem.

    I’m making some more changes!
    I started looking at Twenty Eleven as a theme to modify. There’s a lot of support for this theme. Including plugins and hacks to code. The only down side (as a beginner) was the basic layout.

    The next step has been I then looked at a free Christmas theme called Mistletoe to adjust the images and typography. I got a long way with this from what I’d found out from Twenty Eleven but unfortunately the menus were a problem.

    I’ve now gone back to Twenty Eleven because it handles rows of menus better but used some of the knowledge I’ve gained from Mistletoe to improve the layout.

    I’m posting this update potentially to help novice coders/bloggers.
    Sometimes you just have to find a way around things.

    For any advanced coders who would like a look at this problem and how to solve it in Mistletoe then here is a link to the original theme. If you set it up with about five-six menu titles and drop-downs the problem becomes apparent.
