If you want leave “Use cropper” set to off only the thumbnail width setting will be used and the height will be adjusted accordingly. If you want complete control over the width and height dimensions you should set Use cropper to “on”. The image will then be cropped to the dimensions you set for image width and image height. The image float setting allows you to decide if to float the image to the left of the content, to the right of the content or not to float the image at all. Selecting “none” will cause the image to appear on top of the excerpt. Left will cause the image to appear to the left of the excerpt and right will cause it to appear to the right of the excerpt.

How to replace blog name with header graphic – Producer »

by

Share

To replace the blog name with a header graphic in Producer, upload your header image to the media library, copy the URL and past the copied URL into the Site logo box in Producer Options. In steps:

  1. Login to your dashboard
  2. Click the Media menu option
  3. Click the “Add New” button
  4. Upload the picture
  5. Copy the File URL
  6. Click the Appearance menu option
  7. Click Producer Standard Options
  8. Scroll to Site Logo
  9. Paste the file URL in the site logo text box
  10. Click the Update Options button

The maximum width for your header graphic is 990 pixels. The height can be whatever you want. Here are two header examples starting with the default

Header using a full 990 pixels wide image


Your choice of header graphic can enhance the overall appearance of your site or take away from it depending on how you use it. If you’re going to use an image in the header consider how it will look if it only stretches 1/4 of the way across, 1/2 the way across or 3/4ths the way across. Usually an image that’s less than 990 pixels wide will only look attractive if it blends with the header background color.

News Magazine Theme 640 – how to increase the excerpt title length »

by

Share

The title excerpts in the featured sections of New Magazine Theme 640 are truncated in order to make the excerpts fit neatly into the reserved space. If you prefer to increase the title length or use the full titles then you need to make the following  changes:

Open and edit

includes/featured1.php

To increase: change both instances of 75 to a higher value

if(strlen($thetitle) > 75)
{
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,75,"");
$thetitle.="»";
}

To use full title:
Replace entire block that looks like
<?php
$thetitle=get_the_title();
if(strlen($thetitle) > 75)
{
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,75,"");
$thetitle.="»";
}
echo $thetitle;
?>

with

<?php the_title()?>

There are 3 places in featured1.php where you will have to apply the same change if you want to increase the text length for all the titles. To change the others look for and change
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,25,"");
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,40,"");
