Looks Great Fris

fris, ive sent you a rather long PM for a wordpress issue i had, unrelated to any of this, but never got a response. Wanted to let you know i went with another solution so for now it's solved.

A bit ontopic now about babe blogs and posting of plugs. Alot of babe blogs index thumbs for plugs link directly to the plugged gallery.
What do you think of thumbs that link to a single page with a bigger thumb on there, which links to the plug. This way you can put related posts below the big thumb on the single page.

cons:
One needs to click twice to see the plugged gallery (small thumb -> single page -> big thumb -> plugged gallery)
pros:
Time and click through on own site increases (good for google).
Related posts make visitors click more posts which cause more clicks to plugs.

Thoughts?

Looking good, i will give it a try

That looks great Fris. Is it difficult to open the large gallery images in lightbox instead of it's own dead page?

I got the same thing , the header in the style.css is not 100% correct for wp.

Just ftp the file manually and unzip it int the wp-content/theme directory

[ctggls]

Hi Fris,

I've downloaded the theme, tried to install it but got this error

The package could not be installed. The <code>style.css</code> stylesheet doesn't contain a valid theme header.

Any idea how to fix this?

Download link from this thread (dropbox) is for the first release and it's working fine. Just use FTP to upload it.

For the new version we'll have to wait for the download link.

[ctggls]

Thanks, will try to do that!

i have the category images enabled by default, it uses this as part of the theme, no plugins are required.

cool, let me know if you have any issues, the latest download has the updater built in so you will get notified of any updates.

if you plan on doing any changes to the templates, make a child theme so your changes wont be lost on the update.

[ctggls]

Really nice work Fris! Many many thanks!
Just a quick question though:

How can I make the photos link to attachment.php instead of lightbox or the media file?

Also how can I display the content that is written on single.php ? Right now I only have the images.

Thanks!!

i will make these changes and reflect this in the options panel so if no lightbox is chosen, then the attachment will be used, once you see an update in your dashboard, update.

Thanks! I've tried displaying the text in the post but does not renders it ok. I'm just asking because many of my links to the sponsors are actual text-links and if they are not displayed it means 0 chances of getting sales.

But the theme overall is just great, with a wonderful design!

ya i will fix that, i mainly made the theme just for displaying images and videos with no extra content, so thats why that was never added.
