    Hi,
    I tried to install it on a local server but the Navigation links look broken and the theme doesn’t pick the default logo

    • Thanks for the notification, I will edit these in the next update. Do you mind sending a screenshot of the broken navigation links, it seems to be working fine for me.

      • it’s working fine for me too… maybe Jdsans don’t look properly at the installation note that navigation is make using menu function, not the default one…

        • Jdsans

  18. Hello,

    I really liked this theme, but I still have one question. When I use a image inside a post, I try to align center, but it still stays on the left. Is there a way to change it?

    • Try adding this into the CSS:

      .aligncenter { display: block; margin: 0 auto; }
      .alignright { float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; }
      .alignleft { float: left; margin: 0 1em 1em 0; }
      .floatleft { float: left; }
      .floatright { float: right; }
      img.aligncenter, img.alignright,
      img.alignleft { border: 3px solid #EEE; }

      Tell me how it works out :)

      • Thank you very much. Works perfectly! :)

    How i can change size in css for #primary ? now is 630px i need 700px … but when i change size side bar is gone?

    • You also have to change the size of the sidebar if you want to edit the size of #primary. Change the size of #sidebar to 200px so that it shows up. Make sure that you also edit “#primary .post_entry” to also be 700px so that the content stretches to the size of the #primary. Tell me how this works out for you, good luck!

      • Milan

        No i want change and sidebar.. im make sidebar with 300px and #primary to 700px looks better but problem is thumbs image and image in post looks that i will must make it like block… letters now overlap with image check screen!

        • Remove “float: left” from “img.wp-post-image” in the CSS file

  20. Just one more question. Do I have to add any code to index.php to show only the resume (excerpt) from each post on home?
    Thanks for any help!

    • In the index.php file you can change the line < ?php the_content('Continue Reading → '); ?> to < ?php the_excerpt(); ?>. Hope this helps :)

  21. Pretty nice theme! Thank you for this this freebie!

  22. Milan

    Thanks for all!
    Just last question, how to display default thumbs for related post ? Im found this line but i dont know how to use it in template
    $default_thumbnail = image_url’;
