In reply to: [Orvis] no image on portfolio pagesQuick followup:
It seems like I must be misunderstanding something about portfolios.
I’m reading the orvis documentation here: https://wordpress.com/theme/orvis and it seems to describe adding the Featured Image but I can’t find where it says to add the image a second time in order to show the full image on the page.
I am also reading the general portfolio documentation on wordpress.com https://wordpress.com/support/portfolios/ and it seems to show in the screenshot a duplicate image manually added, but it doesn’t describe that.
Is it that I’m just misundertanding and portfolio pages have to have media manually entered all the time?
Is the featured image supposed to just be a “cover page” for something else or something?
Thanks.

In reply to: [Orvis] no image on portfolio pagesYou’re saying I have to manually add the html
<img src="link-to-the-image">in the body of the page? Okay, I’ve tested that and it does seem to work (I’m surprised it doesn’t show it in the sidebar). Thank you.But I have some concerns… this means if I ever switch themes, I’ll have duplicate copies of the same image in the page, right? I’ll have to manually remove each duplicate image from every item in the portfolio right?
This seems really strange when the standard portfolio behavior is for the Featured Image to be used in the thumbnail and the body of the portfolio item, right? That’s what it looks like in other themes when I use the
[portfolio]shortcode.Is this a workaround to a bug or this is really how it’s designed?

In reply to: RSS not displaying full textMy friend helped me with a solution. I’m not sure if this is kosher or whatever, but we edited my wp-rss2.php file and changed the following:
In the section of php if() else() statements where it’s saying,
<?php if (get_settings('rss_use_excerpt'), we changed the contents of the<description>after the ‘else’ statement.My change was this:
<description><![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]></description>We did this ONLY for the ‘description’ tag after the else statement.
Then, make sure you choose the “full text” setting in your wordpress control panel.

In reply to: Theme Options randomly reverts to defaultI had the same problems and tried searching for a solution a lot. No one seemed to know what was happening.
Finally, I went into my installation and tried to see if there was ANYTHING not standard about how it was installed. I realized that I had a directory in my wordpress root directory that was chmoded to 777. It was leftover from the way I installed an earlier version of wordpress.
I have no idea why this would have an effect on the theme, but basically after I removed that leftover directory (it had been empty, btw), I stopped experiencing the strange “theme reverts to default” bug.
Additionally, I do have other directories in my root directory side-by-side with my wordpress installation (for example, a files directory for my own use, and directories I have for friends to see notes to themselves), but none of that causes this bug (or seems to conflict). It was only the directory that was chmodded to 777 that seemed to cause it to happen.
As a test, I would like to restore that ‘wordpress’ directory chmodded to -777 and see if the theme starts to revert back to the default theme or not.
If I do this, I’ll blog about it on pennyhero.net and hopefully google will index it and it will help others.
If you help me spread the word, or if people with questions about what I did want to, I can be contacted at emily [at] pennyhero [do] net or at http://www.pennyhero.net through comments.
