Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Weary Sortable-Portfolio Theme SeekerResponsive themes are the order of the day, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding one, and the plugins and scripts above should work just fine with any of them. If you stick with reputable theme studios, such as ElegantThemes.com, ThemeForest.com, etc., you should be fine as far as solid coding and good support are concerned.

In reply to: Weary Sortable-Portfolio Theme SeekerI was having the same issue with our portfolio site. I don’t want to go with a theme, I just wanted a plugin. And I investigated several of them. We settled on this one and while it doesn’t do everything we want it to, it comes the closest and the developers are angels who stayed up way past either of our bed times helping me with a couple of issues:

In reply to: [Tools for Twitter] Twitter account shows as (Disabled) on TT pageWhat a Twit (no pun intended!). You have to actually CLICK on the (Disabled) avatar for a dropdown to appear so that you can configure it. Not very intuitive, IMHO. But solved. 🙂

In reply to: [Wordpress Picture / Portfolio / Media Gallery] Upgrade ProblemsI am having the same problem but worse than that, the premium version of this plugin jacks up the entire theme. The free version did not. I am inclined to ask for a refund since I can’t get this plugin to do what I want which is to have the mosaic or square template rather than the default round one AND the ability to stack images of one project together.
Thanks.

In reply to: Can Someone help me identify this Theme…No, he means it’s a custom theme. You won’t find it online for download but you may find something similar.
I took a peek at the stylesheet and it looks like it’s a Magento (ecommerce) theme. WTF? That doesn’t make sense.
Anyway, you’ll just have to browse WordPress themes to find one that comes close. Or purchase a premium WP theme from a reputable site such as StudioPress, Elegant Themes, etc.
I put together a short list of some free and premium theme repositories here. That would be a good start, I think:

In reply to: Please help to understandWhat I’d do is study the HTML on the page and the CSS and see how it was constructed so you can do likewise on your own version of the theme. WPShower has some very lovely themes, IMHO, and I love that photo shoot.
If you use Firefox as your browser, you can download the Developer Tools extention and easily take a look at the underlying HTML and CSS to see how things are put together. HTH.

In reply to: Blog Formatting on External SiteAnd the only reason I mentioned HTML, which seemed to annoy you, was because you stated that the person posting wasn’t comfortable with it.

In reply to: Blog Formatting on External SiteIt just doesn’t make sense that it’s formatted correctly for some of the posts and not others. Do you have the WYSIWYG editor turned on for her? I personally don’t like it and code my own <p> tags and other stuff, and actually use a plugin called Disable WPAutoP.

In reply to: Bought a domain through Blogger/GoDaddy, moving to WPWhoever your web host is, they should have given you a list of “nameservers,” something like this:
ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com, ns3.dreamhost.com or
ns18.adriahost.com, ns19,adriahost.comIt would be in the welcoming email you got from your web host when you purchased web hosting.
Then go to your GoDaddy.com account, under domain management, and change the DNS servers there. That should be all you need to do. You will *always* be able to access your site via the IP and account info link you posted above. But once the nameservers on your domain have switched, you can just type in the domain and access it that way. Make sense?

In reply to: Blog Formatting on External SiteYou don’t need to know HTML to create a post in WordPress. Looks like he/she is cutting and pasting from Word. Ask them to use a text editor or post directly into the WP dashboard.

WHERE is it? What domain do you type in to get to the migrated blog? I’m really not understanding your question.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to code this?It won’t be easy due to the ad locks you want there. But I’d start creating some floated boxes within a container. If you want to mess with CSS3 you can experiment with multi columns:
