In reply to: [Spun] can i change the circles if i learn how to code it?hetverbond, i never found out but im certain its possible. Im okay with the circles for now but initially was wondering about it. one thing you could do is have a white background and a white image uploaded so that the circle outline will not show.
also use firebug for firefox and look up some css styling, with time you will gain more of confidence with it.
good luck! share if you find out just for kicks.
I realized I dont HAVE to use this to develop a decent basic site.
so im working around not banging heads with he issue at this point.should appreciate what we have so THANKS a BUNCH Caroline for sharing this elegant and stylish theme.
Thanks WpYogi and Andrew for your help so far. would still like to understand if its an inherent problem or whether there is a way to fix it though. so if someone knows how to deal with it please share!

In reply to: [Spun] page templateshey miharbio, i cant help you on this but what im learning is the more you read into it the more you realize pretty much anything can be done!
i think im narrowing down on it. is it a issue of trying to have dynamic content on a static front page
sounds more like whats going on here but would still need help figuring out what to do about it =)
i set up a child theme and setup the site here
There is a HOME page with the default index.php and the Custom HOME with the new template. whats bugging me is that I only added this arguement
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
‘post__in’ => array(2,67,173) #page id numbers go here!
);
query_posts($args);
and it works well for the index.php but when displaying it in the custom template it doesnt work.looking at the style.css it became apparent that somehow the thumbnail isnt registering the same for the index.php and the custom template.
The default template seems to use the homepage styling (lines 770/828)
while the custom template shows that the pages/featured images use (848/864 of style.css). this is under “sticky content” in the original style.css.I played around with get_the_post_thumbnail
but that merely displayed the image again (inaddition to the full featured image).get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘home’ );
so is there someway that the content-home.php is causing this? I’ll keep at it and see what I can find but im just baffled as to how to direct the custom template to act the same as the default one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers and Thanks for taking the time to read through this issue!
Andrew/WpYogi.
fyi only yesterday i realized the importance of starting off with child themes and why its not advisable to start swimming in the deep end of the pool!
site is set up and will be looking at the css differences till i can figure out which styling code is causing it. the new home page template is still not showing the featured image within a circle but i have a clearer layout now to make changes and not lose track of them.
Thanks!
Andrew, Ok Will do that. Got into enough of trouble messing with a modified theme so will give that a shot.
Thanks,
I think the get_template_part has something to do with it
have not looked into the css or the new templates properly yet but by tomorrow night i’ll share if any progress has been made if not bug you two again about it =)
Andrew this is the link with the home page and the “bows” page using a custom template.
you can see how the “featured image” shows up fully instead of inside the circles.
If I make the home page use the default index.php then the featured images appear inside circles as supposed to.
WpYogi, just to confirm, the style sheet is supposed to effect each page without regard for default or new templates right?
as posted above the only change i made to the original index.php
was to add this$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
‘post__in’ => array(2,67,173) #page id numbers go here!
);
query_posts($args);havent checked both the templates line by line with firebug yet but will do so.
Thanks again
ok Thanks!
could anyone please comment on this? the main issue is that the circles in spun theme does not behave the same after a custom template is created. would greatly appreciate some direction on this!
Thanks!
Also the styling of the new custom php is different since the circles appear larger in it compared to the circles in the default template.
so im thinking, does new styling commands have to be written when using a new template for a page?
any help is much appreciated.
