Hi!
I tried your Magazine 640 template and it is great. Thanks!
I have a question though, I am trying to use this template on a blog I have written in Spanish and don’t know how can I get the theme to show in Spanish in the front end.
Do you by any chance have a Spanish language file?
If not, I could create it if you told me how and share it with anyone else who wanted it.
Thanks for making this great template, Guillermo.

Mike, if you have done customizations it is not recommended that you copy over your files with the new files. Apply your changes to the new files first.

Mike, for best results use images in your posts that are at least 300 pixels wide by 175 pixels high. This way all the featured category images should crop at the specified dimensions without any issues. This assumes you are using News Magazine Theme 640.

Admin,

Found that you have released version 1.7. That is excellent, as I still do not have things live yet, I could go with 1.7. I do not want to lose any customizations. Is there process to upgrade or just copy the new files.

Best
Mike

Hello Admin,

Question on images to be used with Posts. I am struggling with this. What is the recommended size of an image? Problem is when I try to insert an image in the post (size 229×300), the thumbnail does not show up properly, in the post it shows up properly.

If you have an earlier post/article on how images have to be used then appreciate if you could point me to it.

MikeC, the main background class is the body class in style.css. The main container classes are

#wrapper { width:1030px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background:#ffffff; }

#maincontainer { width:990px; margin:0 auto; }

#contentcontainer { clear:both; overflow:hidden; padding-top:5px; margin:0 auto; width:990px; }

Only wrapper has a background setting.

There will be individual settings for the different tiers so you will need to look for and adjust the background colors set in:

#tier1
#tier1 .tier1main
#tier1 .tier1main .tier1mainnarrow
#tier1 .tier1main .tier1mainwide
#tier2
#tier2 .tier2ad
#tier2 .tier2b
#tier2 .tier2bexpanded
#tier2 .tier2c
#tier2 .tier2cbexpanded

Can’t swear those are the only classes you’ll have to change. You will need to view the source code to find the class name for any additional sections you need to modify then modify the class in style.css.

My previous question here went “poof”?

Any help on changing the background color would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks admin!! I guess that mean I will use producer instead.
What about the translation? Can you tell me where can I go to translate words like: Log in, Written by, Article…. etc?

Thanks again.

Hi Joan, at this time you can’t switch between pages and categories in News Magazine theme but I will be sure to add this option for the next update of the theme.
