Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot save image url in the galleryI understand the problem here and have it myself.
I want to be able to change the URL from the Thumbnail to link to where I want it to go rather than a link of itself, on another page. What is the point of have a single thumbnail on a page?
In my case, I used ‘Gallery’ to layout some thumbnails of the front pages of PDF magazines to download. One gallery for each year.
I want to be able to control the link from each thumbnail to the actual PDF file to download itself … or at least a full-size of the front cover.
As with the poster above, when I type in the custom URL and save, it reverts back itself.
I tried having a look in mySQL to see if I could edit the code there, but it does not seem so.

In reply to: Twenty Eleven theme … are you guys joking?@ Ipstenu Automattic owns Gravatar. Clearly YMMV, but as these are the WordPress forums, they’re welcome to do what they want
I don’t know … the default Gravatars seems to me to be the dissonant part of Matt’s stable. They just don’t fit. May be they are meant to be so bad to ensure everyone does upload their own?
@ ClaytonJames “Are you cereal?”
Yah. Come on we all know that designers love to look all dewy eyed at their beautiful creations but they require bring back to earth from time to time.
At least a default option to remove the top banner from all subsequent pages would let folks get to the content.
Who really clicks on links to see w-h-i-t-e s-p-a-c-e and scroll down banners time and time ago …

In reply to: Twenty Eleven theme … are you guys joking?About as wrong as those stupid and immature Gravatars WordPress insists on us using.
<— Is this intended as an insult or are you just forcing traffic over to Gravatar.com to have to change it?

In reply to: Twenty Eleven theme … are you guys joking?The problem is aprea, 40% of internet users are still at 768 or 800 resolutions, not 27″ LCDs. In some markets, 20% or more use mobiles phone to access the internet. Look also at the age demographics of the net and ask yourself what older readers need (25 to 30% over 50 year old).
Therefore, 40% of your website is saying “beautiful zen emptiness”, aka nothing, from which you expect users to have to make the effort to scroll down from page after page after page … they wont bother. The will go off to another site that is more instantly interesting and informative.
And I have to say, the images on your web blog are basically faked up to make it look better than it is and text smaller.
<b>Thank you liangzai … “Whoever came up with this scheme clearly doesn’t know anything about visiting blogs, but is a pure design freak without regard for function.”</b>
Let’s me honest, all this started with 2010 and a bit of “adoration for Matt” and his lovely photographs. WordPress has always allowed him a bit of personal whimsy. But if he wants his photographs adored, he should just use one of the many excellent photoblog themes available and leave WordPress for what it was intended …
Words.
As a flagship it is wrong.
