Just add this to your theme style sheet and you’re all set. * Let us know if that helps. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Easy Contact] Change Email From?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/#post-824619) * I think you got it, Gene. It looks centered in Firefox 3.0.1 as it does in IE7. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Easy Contact] Change Email From?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/#post-824616) * Changing the text area should also be done via CSS. None of the styling for this form is integrated with the plugin functionality, which is intentional so it can be integrated more efficiently. * As for using the included sample style sheet file, see the FAQ section in the readme. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Sandbox theme problem with WordPress 2.6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sandbox-theme-problem-with-wordpress-26/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sandbox-theme-problem-with-wordpress-26/#post-811950) * There _was_ an issue with the Sandbox 1.5.x gallery code and WordPress 2.6. The gallery issued was fixed with Sandbox 1.6. Let us know if the upgrade didn’t work. * Thanks, sunburntkamel. Always Johnnie-on-the-spot. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Beautiful Design](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beautiful-design/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beautiful-design/#post-823432) * You’re very welcome.

To bold the legend text, do this with CSS instead of ` b` or `strong` for better semantic XHTML. * Let me know how it goes. * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [translation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-5/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-5/#post-818612) * A POT file for translation is provided with the theme. I haven’t received any additional languages, though. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Easy Contact] Change Email From?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-easy-contact-change-email-from/#post-824443) * I’m not familiar with that plugin, but will have a look this evening. This plugin builds its email address without help from WordPress, so I imagine that’s the problem. So if there’s a better way, I’m all for it. * I’ll let you know what I find out. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [cforms II not showing in dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cforms-ii-not-showing-in-dashboard/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cforms-ii-not-showing-in-dashboard/#post-677589) * Not a problem.

Installed the plugin via subversion to `../plugins/contactforms/` 2. Activated plugin in the Plugin Management screen * But then the cforms II link on the dashboard, ie, at the same level as Dashboard, Write, Manage, Comments, etc., does not appear so cforms II settings are unavailable. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Show Summary NOT Entire Article](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-summary-not-entire-article/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-summary-not-entire-article/page/2/#post-421110) * Sure, Moshu. * The following are for the blog.txt theme, version 1.2, in the home.php file. * Lines 5 through 48 are for the “custom” layout. * The “custom” layout basically displays one page by its slug (entered in the _blog. txt Theme Options_ menu) and then the most recent post after that. * The `the_content` lines for the “custom” layout are on lines 12 and 24. * Lines 50 through 89 are for the “default” layout. * The “default” layout is a regular layout, displaying however many posts are set in the _Options > Reading_ menu. * To change the `the_content` to `the_excerpt` in the default layout, you should look at line 58 in the home.php file. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Show Summary NOT Entire Article](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-summary-not-entire-article/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-summary-not-entire-article/#post-421093) * James had a question with my [blog.txt](http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/blogtxt/) theme, which we’ve resolved. It wasn’t a bug with the theme, but rather a complication caused by the multiple layout option for the home.php file. * Basically in the blog.txt home.php file, there are two layouts that are chosen ala conditional based on an option from the _Presentation > blog.txt Theme Options_ menu. * James had changed the `the_content();` for the custom layout, but he was using the default layout so he needed to a change a different, separate `the_content();`, which I helped him do. One he changed that one to `the_excerpt();` he got his desired effect: excerpts on the home page. * Magic! * scott * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Dynamic ID for and subpages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-id-for-ltbodygt-and-subpages/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-id-for-ltbodygt-and-subpages/#post-230324) * If you’re up for some fun with the functions.php file and creating some dynamic functions for producing “semantic” classes, I’ve posted an article of this very topic: * [Dynamic Semantic Classes](http://www.plaintxt.org/2006/07/06/dynamic-semantic-classes/) * This basically explains a “simple” way to give the `body` tag dynamic & semantic classes, e.g., on the home page, `body class="home "` and on a single, `body class="single "` and then on a category archive page, `body class="archive category"` * Or something like that. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Looking for a Clean and Simple Theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-clean-and-simple-theme/) * [scottwallick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwallick/) * (@scottwallick) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-clean-and-simple-theme/page/2/#post-329864) * I’ve just posted something on my blog about this very topic. * **[Best Minimalist Themes for WordPress »](http://www.plaintxt.org/2006/05/08/the-best-minimalist-wordpress-themes/)** * I hope this helps you in your quest.
