Tema: Painter » Marcelo Mesquita

Tema: Painter

Da necessidade de personalização rápida de um tema e suas funcionalidades, surgiu a idéia do “Painter”. Um tema simples, com cores sólidas e poucas imagens, porém altamente customizável.

custom-colors Personalização

Destaco nele a possibilidade de personalização através da área administrativa, permitindo a escolha das cores de cada item do site além da imagem do cabeçalho. Conta com o farbtastic, um plugin em jquery para seleção de cores, presente na versão 2.7 do WordPress, dessa forma qualquer um pode alterar o tema, mesmo sem conhecimentos em html e css.

Devido a quantidade de campos editáveis, foi inserido um select com alguns esquemas de cores pré-definidos, mas isso não impede que as cores sejam alteradas uma por uma. E para aqueles que não dispensam um editor de imagens, os campos também podem ser preenchidos manualmente.

O tema já está pronto para utilização de widgets e para os plugins lead_manager, breadcrumb-xt e authimage.

Internacionalização

O idioma padrão do tema é inglês. Junto com o tema vão os arquivos de tradução (.po e .mo) para o português Brasileiro. Assim é possível traduzir o tema para outros idiomas também.

Agradecimentos

Muito obrigado ao Fabiano Rangel que deu uma geral no tema acabando com os tons de cinza e adicionando algumas imagens, além de criar os esquemas de cores pré-definidos que poupará o tempo de muitos. Agradeço também a paciência que o Fabiano teve para entender, testar e definir as cores para a criação do plugin, se não fosse por ele vocês teriam que se virar com nomes como: “Cor de fundo clara”, “Cor de frente escura”, “Cor de frente média”, etc…

Hi Patrick,
yes, it’s possible to define a specific page for the homepage, go to ‘Settings > Reading’ then check ‘A static page’ and select wich page should be the homepage.

Regards.

Patrick

Hi Marcelo,

Great Theme, compliments!!

I was wondering if it’s possible for the first page (homepage) not to be the posts but a specific page.
This also means that the link in the header must link tot that specific page.
cheers Patrick

hello Marcelo,

I have updated my wordpress to 3.0

My dropdown pages are gone, instead, it listed parent and subpages under the header.

Is there any fix to this Marcelo?

mike Hughes

Hi

My site looks great in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE8, the posts are coming up blank. Any ideas?

Robert Sanches

Oi Marcelo , Bom dia, entendi, por um acaso vc tem algum modelo pronto onde eu possa utilizar para adaptar no template painter,
Agradeço.

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi Robert,
é basicamente javascript, pode ser feito utilizando a biblioteca UI do jQuery, mais especificamente a API Sortable. Basta prestar um pouco de atenção na hora de montar os loops.

Abraço.

Robert Sanches

Olá Marcelo, parabéns pelo template show de bola, sou novato em wordpress e gostaria de saber como eu faço pra deixar a pagina principal no estilo da pagina do Mic, com os blocos aonde o usuario pode arrastar e soltar.

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi André,
é possível sim… você precisará editar o template single.php e retirar o ‘get_sidebar()’. Em seguida adicione ’style=”width:940px !important;”‘ à div ‘post’.

Abraço.

André

Oi Marcelo

É possível trabalhar o tema com posts que ocupem a página inteira, sem widgets? Como fazer?
Obrigado.

Marcelo Mesquita

André,
o tema já lista os posts com link no título, link nas categorias e com os links “Mais antigas” e “Mais recentes”, se você quiser colocar isso em uma página, terá que refazer boa parte do código.

Se você realmente precisa fazer isso em forma de página, dê uma olhada no index.php pois tudo isso que você pediu está lá.

Qualquer coisa é só avisar.

André David

Marcelão, consegui usando da seguinte forma: <a href="\#respond” title=”Comentário”>Comentário

Valeu!

André David

Poxa, Marcelo, eu add e realmente aparece a palavra “comentário”, mas não abre o form :(

Acho que eu que sou meio prego nisso.

No meu site eu estou usando o tema painter e nas Páginas estou usando para mostrar só os posts de determinadas categorias. Porém, o título do post não aparece como “link”. Sabe como quando vc clica no título de um post e abre só ele na janela? Será que tem como ?

Outra duvida, lá no rodapé do site não aparecem os links “Mais antigas” e “Mais recentes” para eu ver outras postagens. Alguma sugestão?

Muito obrigado pelo suporte e, independente de qualquer coisa, continuo achando o painter bem mais simples de entender do que os outros ;)

Abração

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi André,
você vai ter que editar o tema, abra o arquivo single.php e adicionar ‘<a href=”#respond” title=”Comentário”>Comentário</a>’ após o ‘<?php edit_post_link(__(”Edit”, “painter”)); ?>’ (provavelmente na linha 24).

Qualquer coisa é só avisar.

Abraço.

André David

Olá Marcelo!
Primeiramente, adorei o tema! Muito flexível! Coloquei na minha página (http://www.precisosemprecisao.com.br) e estou adorando. Porém estou com um problema: o botão/link “Comentário” não é exibido no título do post, junto com “Imprimir”. Como faço para add essa funcionalidade?

Muito obrigado!

Heliodoro

Bien…hasta ahorita me va/funciona…bien tu tema painter.
Gracias.

Marcelo Mesquita

Olá Ivan,
você pode editar as fontes em /css/style.css na linha 13:

font:normal 12px Arial, Helvetica;

Abraço.

IVAN ARRANZ

Buenas, soy español. Estoy usando tu THEME para mi página web.

Me gustaría saber como utilizar FUENTE diferente para el texto.

Saludos
Iván Arranz.

Marcelo Mesquita

O WordPress atualizou a biblioteca do jQuery que fez com que o farbstatic parasse de ser carregado. Para corrigir, abra o ‘inc/custom-colors.php’ e altere o ’select[@name = 'color_scheme']‘ para ’select[name = 'color_scheme']‘, provavelmente na linha 766.

Nelson Teixeira

Olá Marcelo, estou usando seu tema para a nova versão do meu blog e estou gostando muito. Mas o farbtastic não está sendo ativado na página de configuração de cores personalizadas. Estou usando o WP 2.9.2. Tem alguma idéia de pq ele não está ativo ?

Marcelo Mesquita

Leila,
se você estiver usando o widget do WordPress, existe uma opção ‘Título’ onde você pode informar a frase. Basca clicar na setinha que fica na lateral direita da caixa do widget que as opções aparecem.

Leila Amarante

Olá, Marcelo!
Preciso mudar a frase “Pesquisar por” no widget-search. Como faço isso? Já procurei e não consegui localizar. Pode me ajudar?
É que fica repetitivo”Perquisar por:…..Pesquisar”. Gostaria de inserir o símbolo de pesquisa no botão ou mudar a frase por esse motivo.
Grata,
Leila

Katy

Hello Marcelo,

Your solution worked perfectly.

Thank you so much.

Again, thank you for this superior theme. I will recommend your work.

Katy

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Katy,
on theme directory, open the single.php file and delete the line (probably line 25):
<span class=”post-print”><a href=”javascript:print()” title=”<?php _e(’Print’, ‘painter’); ?>”><?php _e(’Print’, ‘painter’); ?></a></span>

Then do the same for page.php (probably line 18).

Regards.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Michelle,
try to put the <!–more–> tag to define the limit of the content.

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi Luiz,
tá rolando uma discussão sobre isso no fórum WP-Brasil.

Qualquer coisa é só avisar.

Katy

Greetings Marcelo,

Thank you for the wonderful theme. I have tried countless themes and Painter is the only one that is so customizable, with so many fine features.

I have one major problem, however, before I can put my site up with content. I have been unable to remove the word “Print” which appears when someone clicks on the title of a blog post (This is important for my site).

I would like to remove the print link entirely, not just the word “Print”, so that my members will not click that spot by mistake and open up their print page unnecessarily.

I have done a little tweaking to the theme, changed font in css files, substituted a couple of image files, but I am not a coder, so if the solution involves coding please be specific.

(the url I’m designing on here is only a test site and it is closed to the public. I didn’t think you needed to see it to give me instructions on how to remove the word “Print”. Let me know if you do).

Marcelo, thanks again for the fine theme. And thanks in advance for your reply.

Katy

MichelleH

Sorry…I meant to say…when I have many articles under one category…how to I set it up so only the titles of each post show when I click on that category? Right now all of the text for each post in that category is showing and that is not what I want. I would prefer to have to click on the title in order to see the entire post.

Please advise…thanks. MichelleH

MichelleH

Thanks for the great theme! I am having trouble with one item. When I am in Admin>Settings>Reading…I selected the option to have each article in a feed only show Summary View…but when I go to the website, I am seeing the Full View. Can you advise me on a correction to get the Summary view working? Thank you! MichelleH

Luiz Abreu

Prezado Marcelo, parabéns pelo tema. Para testar a página 404, tenho inserido propositalmente endereços errados na barra de endereços do browser e fiquei intrigado ao perceber que em algumas vezes a mensagem 404 aparece normalmente e, em outras, o servidor retorna uma página com o div content em branco. Por exemplo se digito /?cat=556 (onde a categoria 556 não existe) ou /?author=789, a página 404 aparece normalmente. Já, quando digito /?page_id=1589 ou /?p=6789 aparece uma página com div content vazio. Quando digito qualquer coisa após a raiz (/diewtoieer, por exemplo) o servidor devolve a home page dentro deste folder que não existe e então todos os links relativos quebram. Não sei se isto é um bug ou algum problema com meu servidor. Obrigado pela ajuda.

leila Amarante

Olá de novo!
Como estou usando o Painter para fazer uma especie de jornal, onde existem um blog interno e páginas relacionados nos menus, preciso também abrir alguns links no formato de arquivo (arquives.php). Dá pra fazer isso? Já tentei fazendo templates usando como base page.php e até post.php e não deu certo. Pode me orientar?
Grata novamente pela sua atenção.

leila Amarante

Grata pela atenção, Marcelo! Muito gentil e paciente de sua parte.

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi Leia,
para adicionar mais um nivel no menu de páginas, altere o ‘wp_list_pages(’depth=2&title_li=’)’ para ‘wp_list_pages(’depth=3&title_li=’);’ no header.php e em css/style.css, adicione:
#menu li li ul {
top:0px;
left:160px;
z-index:10;
position:absolute;
display:none;
}

Quanto ao colorchrome, o WordPress atualizou a biblioteca do jQuery que fez com que o colorchrome parasse de ser carregado. Para corrigir, abra o ‘inc/custom-colors.php’ e altere o ’select[@name = 'color_scheme']‘ para ’select[name = 'color_scheme']‘, provavelmente na linha 766.

Espero ter ajudado.

Leila Amarante

ferras

Thank you very much for all your patience and answers, just one more thing, the menu overlaps, I changed z-index to 20 but does nothing, any thoughts?

Marcelo Mesquita

You will find the ‘wp_list_pages(’depth=2&title_li=’)’ on header.php

ferras

Where is this?

wp_list_pages(’depth=2&title_li=’) to wp_list_pages(’depth=3&title_li=’);

maybe this will fix it but I dont know where it is

ferras

I am trying too but no success

Marcelo Mesquita

Ferras, you change the style too?

ferras

Hi, thank you for your response, me again :D I was trying to do also the same thing as Meegan, but I dont get it, I replace the menu items with the ones Meegan wrote so I can get sub-sub-pages working?

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Ferras,
remove the ‘get_sidebar();’ from index.php, page.php and single.php edit the css/style.css and change the:
#content {

float:left;

width:700px;

padding:14px 0px 10px 10px;

}

to:
#content {

float:left;

width:960px;

padding:14px 0px 10px 10px;

}

Regards.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Megan,
sorry my absense, try this:

top:0px;

left:160px;

z-index:10;

position:absolute;

display:none;

}

Regards

ferras

Hi marcelo, great theme but I was wondering if you could help me out, I want to make a 1 column theme from “Painter” , wide = 960px like the header.

Thank you in advance

Meegan Jones

Hi, I am trying to get the third level of menu hierarchies working and have followed your advice (I think). Is it possible for you to look at the code below and see where I have gone wrong, as it is not working yet. I am more than happy to pay you a developer fee if we can get this working correctly!!

Thanks,

Meegan

I have changed wp_list_pages(’depth=2&title_li=’) to wp_list_pages(’depth=3&title_li=’); That part was easy!

Next, I have changed the /wp-content/themes/painter/css/style.css to the following.

I must have something wrong…. Can you please have a quick look?!

Marcelo Mesquita

Nikki,
change the title text color is possible only by the custom colours option, on the custom header option is disabled on this theme.

Any save buttons works for all itens, if the footer colour is not saving should be a bug. I’ll check.

Thanks.

Nikki

Thank you Marcelo, that’s fixed it, you’re a star! I have a few more questions to ask:

Should I be able to change the title text colour through the custom header option? It doesn’t appear to work for blank headers or for custom image headers (I am able to change the text colour through the theme’s custom colour option).

When changing between preset colour options in the custom colour screen, the colour settings for the footer are retained from a previous selection.

Is there an overall save button when saving for preset colours or is it enough to press one of the save buttons?

Once again, thank you for a fantastic theme.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Nikki,
thanks for the feedback. The WordPress 2.9 updated the jQuery library and cause that error.

To fix that, open the ‘inc/custom-colors.php’ and change the ’select[@name = 'color_scheme']‘ to ’select[name = 'color_scheme']‘, problably on line 766.

Regards.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Abe,
the html interprets many spaces as just one. To indent text you have a specific option on WordPress text editor: first click on ‘Show/Hide Kitchen Sink’ (the last button of text editor) or use the shortcut ALT+SHIFT+Z to show more options on editor, then select the text you want to indent and click ‘Indent’ (the 11th button on second line of text editor).

Regards.

abe

I’m having a problem with it not letting me indent my text. Every time I try to put a space in front of a word when I refresh the page it take sit out.

Nikki

I am unable to customise colours in Painter 1.1. I was able to do this in older Wordpress versions but not with Wordpress 2.9.2. Has anyone else had this problem?

Steve Fodor

I want to import my company logo to show in the image bar. Is this possible?

How can I turn off the date that shows in the top left of the header and not display it?

THANK YOU!

bharath

hey hi .. i got it done..
thanks

Marcelo Mesquita

Sorry Bharath, my mistake. It’s fixed now:
<li><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>” rel=”nofollow”>Home</a></li>

bharath

I tried inserting the statement.. it did not work… kindly help me out…

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Bharath,
to include the ‘home’ button on menu, open the header.php, got to line 63 and before wp_list_pages, insert this code:
<li><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?> rel=”nofollow”>Home</a></li>

To the logo image, you can upload a full image for the header with the logo on the prefered side.

Regards.

Bharath

I am trying to add one more menu option ‘HOME’ in the homepage along other menu (about,contact…).. where do i go about editing??? I am not able to find the source for it..
Also I would like to trim the logo image present right side of the page… help me out ..

Thanks
Bharath

Fernando

Ha meu nego! Valeu!! kk Tão simples! Valeu pela ajuda mesmo! Abraço! Ah, e parabéns pelo tema!

Marcelo Mesquita

Fernando,
basta abrir o arquivo wp-config.php e alterar o “define (’WPLANG’, ”);” para “define (’WPLANG’, ‘pt_BR’);”.

Abraço.

Fernando

Amigo, me da uma luz aqui :( … Desculpa a ignorancia, mas como faz pra colocar o tema em PT_BR??? Não sei mais o que fazer! Ja consegui ferrar com a instalação do WP 2 vezes! :’( Ainda bem que to no inicio dos testes! :) Se puder ajudar, fico grato!
Abraço!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Diego,
on ‘custom header’ theres an option to hide the title, this option add a invisible link back to home.

Regards.

diego

Marcelo,
Thanks a lot, this is a great theme. I need some help with the HOME page, because i´m not using the SITE TITLE, so i have no way to get back to the homepage. Do you understand my problem?
How can i link the HEADER IMAGE to go to the homepage?
Thanks a lot, i hope you can help me!

(spanish)
Hola Marcelo. Gracias por este tema, está muy bueno.
Pero tengo un pequeño problema; no estoy usando el “titulo de pagina”, entonces no tengo manera de volver al homepage.
Como puedo linkear la imagen del Header para que sea mi botón de regreso al home?

Gracias nuevamente!

Garcia Junior

Blz. Acertei colocar a imagem acrescentando no style.css do tema. Mas não consigo eliminar o nome do blog “BLOGARTE” que fica aparecendo na imagem do cabeçalho e nem linkar a imagem pra home do blog. Vou tentando aqui…

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi Garcia,
além do header.php também precisa alterar o css/style.css.

Abraço.

Garcia Junior

Oi Marcelo, obrigado pela rápida resposta. Qual arquivo do Painter abro pra colocar manualmente o cabeçalho? O header.php? Quero tentar editar no dreamweaver o arquivo. Desculpe as perguntas bobas, em webdesign sou amador mesmo.

Marcelo Mesquita

Oi Garcia,
existem outras formas de adicionar uma imagem no cabeçalho: editando no banco de dados ou editando o tema. Como deve imaginar, essas outras soluções são mais complexas. O que está acontecendo quando você tenta atualizar a imagem do cabeçalho?

Abraço.

Garcia Junior

Muito bom seu tema. Limpo e fácil de editar, parabéns. Só tô tendo problemas em atualizar a imagem do cabeçalho, mas acho que isso é problema no meu painel de controle e não no tema em si. Tem outro jeito de eu mandar a imagem pro cabeçalho?

Keya Lea Horiuchi

Marecelo,

Muito obrigada for a beautiful and customizable theme. The last time I submitted a comment, it stripped out the code, so I’m trying it again. I changed the date in the header.php file to:

So that it would display ‘American’ style. If it posts, great, if not, that’s okay too. I do really like your theme and wanted to say, “Thanks!”

Keya Lea Horiuchi

Marcelo,

Muito obrigada for a beautiful theme and customizable theme! I did tweak with the date code and changed so that it would display as day of the week, month, day number and year by changing it to

Thank you very much. It’s lovely!

Samuel

Hi Marcelo,
Thank you for your answer.
Here the url where the theme is.
http://painter.blog.guysen.com/2009/11/07/bonjour-tout-le-monde/
The probleme is about this page.

Thank you

Marcelo Mesquita

At this moment I dont know what it is this error, this theme already been used on a wpmu 2.8. I’ll search for a solution if I discover something I reply, ok.

This installation is available on some domain where I can access to see whats going on?

Samuel

Hi Marcelo,
I’m sorry to insist and I really need your help, but have you got a solution about my problem?

Thanks for your help

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Michael,
the parameter font includes the font-size, font-weigth and font-family but You can also insert font-family to force the load. Make shure that this font you using is installed on your computer, otherwise the next font defined will be used.

Regards.

MIchael Hollinson

Hello Marcelo

Just wanted to let you know that your theme is fantastic and easy to manipulate. However, I do have a small issue that I hope you will be able to help me with.

I have managed to change the font to corbel for most elements in the style.css but it does not seem to have worked across the whole site. Looking at firebug it seems that I need to change the element.style font family but I cannot locate this.

I’m not sure if this is related but the site shows different fonts in IE and Firefox, do I need to change something else to fix this.

Thanks for your help

Samuel

Hi,
Yes I have the newest version 2.8 I think. (it a WP MU)
Do you have a solution for this problem please?

Thank you

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Sam,
can you tell me which WordPress version the theme is installed? This error is caused by a function that is only available on newer WordPress versions (up to 2.7, I think).

Regards.

sam

Hi Marcelo Mesquita,
Your theme is fantastic and I realy want to use it but I have a probleme about the comment.php. Here my message error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function cancel_comment_reply_link() in /home/httpd/aaa.com/www/wp/wp-content/themes/painter/comments.php on line 54

Thank for your help. I will be very happy if you can the error.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Lisa,
yes, it’s possible to add widgets to the footer. What goes wrong when you follow the help-developer tutorial? I just sugest to avoid the ‘register_sidebar’ change, instead try to create another ‘register_sidebar’ with the ‘name’ key. Something like this:
if ( function_exists(’register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ’subfooterleft’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</li>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widgettitle”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
));

I’ll be here if you need any help.

Regards.

LisaNewton

Hello,

I’m in the process of building a site using your Painter theme, which is perfect, except for one thing. I’d like to be able to add text boxes or widgets to the footer of the site.

Is this possible?

I tried to use this coding, but it didn’t work:
http://help-developer.com/index.php/2008/07/creating-a-widget-ready-footer-in-wordpress/

Can you help me?

Joe

Ugh, sorry. I found the file (overlooked it twice) and re-uploaded it to my site. Still doesn’t work. Very puzzling! I will keep searching for a solution and let you know how it turns out, thanks so much for your help!

-Joe

Joe

Interesting – I don’t have a ‘cycle.js’ file in the script folder, and I too just found that error message.

In trying to fix this, I downloaded a clean version of the theme from the wordpress site and it doesn’t have that file either.

Any idea how that could happen?

Thanks again,

Do you delete any file from the theme? I’ve receiving a ‘cycle is not a function’ on your site, this error probably stopping the javascript to work.

Try to remove the ‘cycle’ from your ‘header.php’ and ’script.js’ files or put the ‘cycle.js’ lib back.

Give me a feedback if it work.

Best.

Joe

Hi Marcelo,

There should be drop-downs under “who we are”, “Committees”, and “Get involved”. I had to add a ‘pages’ widget in order to access the rest of my pages for now. My intent is to have it so when a mouse is rolled over “who we are”, another menu drops down to show the subordinate pages.

Thanks again for your help!

Marcelo Mesquita

Joe,
what’s the problem you having? I test it here but don’t see nothing wrong.

Joe

Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.3.

Thanks a ton for looking into it!

-Joe

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Joe,
can you give me more details about this problem? Which browser are you using?

Regards.

Joe

Hi Marcelo,

Great theme! It works great except for one thing – I can’t get the navigation bar to properly execute the drop down menus… What can I do to fix it?

Thanks!

Marcelo Mesquita

Great news Petros, I’m glad to know.

Thanks!

Petros Polonos

Hi,
Thank for your theme – I found it really useful. Guys at http://perfecta.pro/wp-pl/ published Polish translation and it is working nicely. I like it!

Mash

Hello Marcelo,

Never mind, I got it working.

Thank you!

Mash

Hello Marcelo,

Thank you for the quick response. I tried it, I messed up :D. The page went awry. Hehe.

In the page.php you are trying to give an example for div, but the example got cut off.

in the css/style do I need to place the .page on top or bottom or the middle? Does it have to be in a certain order?

Once again, thank you Marcelo. You are awesome!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Mash,
the painter don’t have that kind of feature, so I’ll try to explain the howto:

First, open the page.php file, go to line 9 () and add a new class to the div, as the example: . Then open css/style.css file and add a new width to the class you just created with the ‘!important’ flag, like this .page { width:960px !important; }

Good Luck!

Mash

Hello Marcelo, it is me again. I am having a good time with your theme. I have used so many themes in the past and painter got everything what I wanted.

I have a question though. About the pages. Some pages I prefer to have no sidebar. I tried to get the getsidebar off the page.php. It does take the side bar but leaves an empty sidebar space for the rest of the pages. I want to occupy the whole space with the page content and I want the other pages to have the sidebar.

Does painter have a feature like that? If so, let me know how to work my way around it.

Thanks Marcelo!

Mash

Marcelo,

You are an angel. It worked!

Thank you!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Mash,
try this: open the css/style.css and search for ‘.aligncenter’, then change the ‘margin: auto;’ for ‘margin:auto !important;’.

Regards.

Mash

Thanks Marcelo

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Mash,
I’m checking what can be and will reply as soon as I get something, ok.

Regards.

Mash

Marcelo,

Thank you! I fixed it. I have another one question.
On the post entry, there is a big gap between the centered photo to the right border.

I like to put photos in my blog and always prefer it to be centered. I don’t like looking at that big gap. The photo/img does not look like it is centered at all.

Thanks again

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Mash,
you can replace the line 51 for .

Regards.

Mash

Hello Marcelo,

I am enjoying your theme and still tweaking it. I have a problem with the date on the dater tab. I can delete it but the header and dater misaligned. So I put the Date back. However, I would like to make appear as month-day-year, not Day, day of month of year.

How will I fix that?

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Marcelo,
thanks for your feedback and help! The solution seems to work fine!
Regards

Marcelo Mesquita

Yes… try to change the ‘p’ tag on line 77 to 81 of ‘index.php’ for ’span’. Don’t forget to change the open and close tags.

Regards.

Maria

Is there a way to show the info under the post (# of comments, author, etc) in a row instead of a column

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Thomas,
sorry for the absence on forum. This is probably a widget larger then sidebar, try to test the widgets one by one. You can contour this problem editing the css and set “overflow: hidden;” on #sidebar.

Regards.

Thomas

Marcelo,
Great theme, but there is a problem: with IE the body area displays below the bottom of the sidebar. This means that there is a huge empty space on the left column before you get down to the blog posts.Is there any solution or fix? Unfortunately no answer in the Wordpress forum …
Many thanks!

Eric

Excellent Theme Marcelo!
I’m having trouble changing the backround image. I
accessed the css/style.css file and changed the html code for a new backround image on Dreamweaver. However, when I go and drag and drop the file back to the server the original file appears. Has anyone ever experienced this. I would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Maria

Hi, this is just an update. Instead of getting rid of the date, i decided to just move the code for the rss, date and dater into the footer which pretty much solved my initial issue.The plug-in thing isn’t related to just this theme because it happened on another theme as well. thanks again for a great theme

Maria

Hi, this is by far the best theme for customization i’ve found! I’m really picky and I can change everything with this theme. I do have 2 issues though. The first is with the date and rss. I tried just moving the line under date to get rid of it but the whole style goes crazy when I do that and rss turns into a text link. The 2nd thing is that I installed a plug-in to redirect a page to an external site but it keeps putting ‘my site’/'the link i entered’ instead of it just having the link I entered..Any help would be greatly appreciated…thanks again for sharing your theme

Marcelo Mesquita

Jane,
you can edit the font on /css/style.css

Regards.

Jane Walton

I need to know how to change fonts in Painter

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Tony,
on wp-admin, go to ‘Appearance > Custon Theme’ and check the box ‘Show post comments’.

Regards.

Tony

just wondering how i get the number of comments to appear on the home page?

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Karen,
the background parameters are on /css/style.css file.

Regards.

Karen

Hi Marcelo,
I love this theme. I too am having trouble getting rid of the background image. Is it in one of the css files we can edit?
Thanks,
Karen

Wagner

Marcelo parabéns pelo tema!!!

Abs

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Kelly,
the complete css styles are on /css directory. Sorry for the puzzle!

Regards.

Kelly

Hi! Great theme, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to use my own background image instead of the default background. I tried to go into the CSS but it looks like I don’t have access to the full sheet. How would I go about changing my background? Thanks!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Nikki,
to include the ‘home’ button on menu, open the header.php, got to line 63 (wp_list_pages) and insert this code:
<li><a href=”<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>”>Home</a></li>

Nikki

Just checked again and my old problems with IE6 haven’t gone away with a fresh upload of the theme :(

Nikki

Hi Marcelo,
I’ve managed to get rid of my problems with IE6 by starting again with a fresh upload of the theme. Bert asked how to include a “Home” button on the navigation menu. Could you tell me what exactly needs to be inserted in the head?er.php file so that it appears like the other menu items. Thanks again.

elsa

never mind. i just started over with a fresh download of the theme… i still dont know where the problem was, but it’s gone now :)

elsa

Hi Marcelo,
I’m having a problem displaying comments. My comment form is working, and submitted comments come to my email as they are supposed to, and I can go approve them through admin… but they don’t show up on the site! The site only says, for instance, “3 comments” but you can’t see the content of them. The “3 comments” message is not clickable. The comments RSS also appears empty. What have I done? I never messed with the wp-includes files, and reloaded the original comments.php template from painter in case I had messed that up somehow. Any idea? Thanks so much.
elsa

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Bert,
I’m sorry, was my mistake. Should appear a checkbox to select if this link will be show or not. I’m gonna fix this in next version, for now you can edit head.php and insert the link manually.

Regards.

BERT

HI Marcelo: ever since I upgraded to version 1.1 I no longer have the “Home ” menu tab Which i use for my main page how can I get this tab to Show up . How can i Fix this Problem on my web site.

Nikki

Thanks Marcelo. Looking at my site traffic, there are still a significant number of visitors using IE6 which I have no control over :$ Actually, I’ve come across a problem with IE7 too (see my comment on 09/04). As a Firefox user, I’m usually blissfully unaware of these problems

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Nikki,
IE6 is a big problem for all the developers, that bug you report it’s a example of how unpredictable this browser can be.

I already face that problem before, but there’s no specific solutions. Try to remove all html comments () from the theme, you can test disable some javascript functions too.

Anyway, consider to install other browsers on those schools. There’s a lot of free options avaliable out there, IE (special older than 7) is insecure and ~~screw~~ discontinued.

I’m gonna make some tests here too and I post if discover something.

Thanks.

Nikki

Sorry, should say, “only a problem with individual images not gallery images”.

Nikki

A few users viewing my blog with IE6 report that they cannot see text in posts which have an image. If you highlight the place where the text should be, it appears until you scroll down the page when it disappears again! This doesn’t appears to be a problem with individual images not gallery images. I would love to carry on using this theme as it is easy for children to navigate but many of our schools are still on IE6. Are you able to suggest a fix for this?

BERT

A GREAT Theme I just have one issue I’m trying to be able to access submenus, to my already created submenus. In other words, They disappear too fast and there’s not enough time to click on them.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi cphspeed,
there is a missing </div> on the post loop, probably on index.php file.

Regards.

cphspeed

Hi there,
I love this theme. I love the customizablility. I do have an issue. The footer is in the middle of the page. The only way I have found to move it is to insert into the main file.
Can you help?

Thanks,

Robert

Marcelo,
It seems that Painter doesn’t display excerpts that I enter in the box for editing posts. How can I make it display them?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert

Perfect! 48 pixels looks good to me. Thanks!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Robert,
to define the size of the gravatars open inc/enhanced-comments.php file and edit line 16 from "get_avatar($comment)" to "get_avatar($comment, ‘xx’)" where ‘xx’ is the size of the gravatar image (the default is 96).

Regards.

Robert

I love Painter, but the gravatars are HUGE. Could you tell me how to shrink them, please?

Thanks.

Ali

This theme looks great in Firefox and IE7, but my IE 6 readers report that they must scroll down 2-3 pages before seeing the main content window. Do you have any tips for me?
Thanks so much

Nikki

Thank you for a great theme. I’ve had a couple of problems since upgrading to Painter 1.1.

1. The Home tab no longer appears on the menu bar. I couldn’t add it by using show_home=1 with wp_list_pages but got it back by using the menu code for Painter 1.0.
2. The bottom half of the avatars (monster ones!) on a comments page is cut off and the top of the “reply” link for each comment is also cut off. They appear correctly in Firefox and IE6 but not in IE7. Again this was not a problem in Painter 1.0. How can I fix this?

Generix

Hi!
great theme, but it would be awesome if the theme had a archive-widget function. But I still love it :)

MistressVictoria

Great theme, but I have a minor problem with the custom header option.

I can upload it, but it doesn’t show up no matter what. Do you possibly have any idea why? Thanks.

Melani

I have two problems. I don’t want to require name, email and site on comments. I have gone to the Settings menu>discussion> and unclicked and saved all relevant boxes pertaining to comments. But they still show up as required entries on my blog. How do I get rid of them?

The other problem I have is I created a post that shows up when you first pull up my blog and the heading is “News” but it is not associated with any page and when I delete it I get the “404 sorry can’t find message” so I am stuck with this post as the first page of my blog. FYI, I’m new at Wordpress. Thanks for your help.

Lois

No problem, Marcelo. This is my exact message at WP themes:
This is one of the smoothest themes I’ve found. Such potential. Are there any plans to add capability for a second sidebar? Gets a five anyway in my book, but a second sidebar would put it over the top.

Will look forward to the second sidebar when you get around to it. Am currently upgrading and moving one of my sites to a new domain name and plan on using painter there.

Thanks again,
Lois

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Lois,
sorry for the absence on WP Themes. It’s a good idea and for sure I will include on my tasks.

Thanks.

Lois

i really like this theme. Left a comment at WP Themes, but not sure if you saw it. Do you have any plans to add an option for a second sidebar?

Thanks,
Lois

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Kaj,
First of all I really appreciate your critics and almost all your suggestions are included on my TODO list for this theme, but will take a while until implement all this..

Now, some things cannot be change, like the huge colors list. That color definitions was made with a WebDesigner help, the first version of the Painter had only four colors then move to sixteen and keep increasing until satisfy all possibilities. I understand that are too many, but as you say “others may want to influence things in more detail”.

I am sorry for the hard coded english and I like the idea of customize the header text, maybe even let the user define if they gonna appear or not.

The date languages are based on .po file, but can be better give this control to users too.

I don’t understood when you said “I’d like to determine the order of the areas in the sidebar”, if you talking about the widgets, they are draggable at the backend.

Thanks again.

Kaj Arnö

Oi Marcelo! I posted a (mostly very positive) evaluation of Painter 0.9, including enhancement requests, at http://blogs.arno.fi/isit/2009/03/07/wordpress-the-painter-theme-is-good-but-has-too-many-options/

Cristina

Hi Marcelo,
I’m using Firefox 3, and I have tried IE 6 and 7 and safari, and I have the same problem in all of them.

Thank you so much for your help.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Cristina,
in Firefox and IE 6 and 7 the submenus is working, but a friend already warned me about Opera errors that I’m still trying to fix, but the bug you just say is new to me.

Can you tell me wich browser are you using so I can search a solution to it.

Thanks.

Marcelo Mesquita

You right Lotten, I forgot to apply the functions to the post template. The next version this error will be fixed, but if you don’t wanna to wait, just copy the lines 80 to 84 from index.php and paste it over the lines 23 to 26 from the single.php, ok.

Thanks.

Lotten

Hi!
Thanks for a fast reply. I just upgraded to version 1.0 so that should work.
However, I already changed the option for the posts on the main page. But when I create subpages, the information is still there.
Thanks!

Cristina

Hi Marcelo,
The theme is great, but I’m having a problem with the submenus. They disappear too fast and there’s not enough time to click on them.
Could you please tell me what should I change?

Thank you very much.

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Lotten,
to remove the infos at the bottom of the posts, go to ‘Design > Custom theme’ and check only what you want to be visible. Now, to remove the date at the top of the site you have to open the header.php and remove the line 51 right bellow the <!– Date –>.

This tips are related to the 1.0 version of the Painter theme, ok.

Thanks.

Lotten

Hi! Thanks for an excellent theme! Could you give me some recommendations where to make changes if I want to remove the date and author info at the bottom of pages?
Also I would like to change (or remove) the date on top of the page. Which file could I change that in?

marzio

Thanks again. In the next days I will complete the structure of the site and I ask for a solution of problem the hosting support. I hope this solve the problem. I will you a feedback as soon as, the next week I think.
Sorry for my very bad english. :-)
‘night

Marcelo Mesquita

Marzio,
the problem should be this configuration. I suggest you let the blog address without the index.php and create a index.html (your server recognize index.html?) redirecting to the index.php.

Don’t forget to make a backup of your database before the changes.

marzio

Thanks for your so fast feedback! I tried some test and my actual opinion is about a misfiguration of directory listing on server (it don’t recognize index.php).
If you want, please try to send a comment here:
http://www.pdlselvazzano.it/index.php/?p=50

Best regards!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Marzio,
I don’t know what could be that error, if you share some link from where this error ocurred I can try to search the problem.

Regards!

marzio

I love this theme and I’m tring to use in an amatorial project. But I have some difficulties with comments: when I complete the form it says “404- Sorry! Page not found.”
My WP version is the last one, italian localized (2.7.1.)
Thanks for sharing this theme and for your help. :-)

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Nikki, I’m working on the comments reply and I will try to launch on the next release, ok. It’s nice to know the good usage you are making of the theme.

Thanks!

Nikki

Thank you for such a great theme! I’m working with a number of schools providing Wordpress as a blogging platform. This theme will be perfect in providing them with just the right amount of customisation to make their blogs their own.

Will you be updating the theme to take advantage of the new threaded comments feature in Wordpress 2.7?

Marcelo Mesquita

Great! If someone else need to change the fonts, the stylesheet is on css directory.

Thanks.

Randal O'Toole

Nevermind! I found it. Thanks for the great theme.

Randal O'Toole

Hi,

I am making a new blog and am using Painter. I like the ability to customize colors and headers, but what about fonts? I can’t find any fonts in your stylesheets so I don’t know where to go to substitute different fonts.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Randal

elsa

thanks! yeah, it’s fine now!

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Elsa, is just that, probably is cache. If the problem persists, try to rename the icon and change the meta value for it on the header.php, ok.

Good luck!

elsa

Hello,
Thanks for the great theme. I’m trying to change the favicon, and have replaced the favicon.ico image file in the folder painter/img/icon. But the same wordpress favicon still shows up on the blog. What am I missing?! Thanks!

Tony

thanks for the update – that problem now solved!

clicking on custom colors produces this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_enqueue_style() in /www/sites/lcn/www.tonymc.com/web/wp-content/themes/painter/inc/custom-colors.php on line 707

i know its all to do with the outdated wordpress version. i’m trying to get my host to upgrade :)

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Kristee, to disable the submenus, open ‘header.php’ and change line 64 ‘wp_list_pages(’title_li=’);’ to ‘wp_list_pages(’depth=1&title_li=’);’.

Regards,
Marcelo Mesquita

kristee Jauqes

Hi, Great theme, really customisable.

Just wondered if you could tell me how i can disable the menu navigation from showing sub pages? Thanks
Kristee

Tony

brilliant thanks again! still the old one there as I type this, so I’ll try later. great looking theme!

Marcelo Mesquita

I already upload the fix, probably tomorrow (11/02/09) it should be alive.

Tony

ahh, many thanks for the quick reply…any idea when the next update will be?

Marcelo Mesquita

Hi Tony, the function ‘get_avatar’ is avaliable only for versions up 2.5 of WordPress. The next update of this theme will have a compatible function for WordPress 2.3, ok.

Thanks.

Tony

great theme, but, i’m having problems getting it to work in wordpress 2.3. when i try to look at the comments it get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_avatar() in /www/sites/lcn/www.tonymc.com/web/wp-content/themes/painter/comments.php on line 73

is this theme just not compatible with 2.3?

Wanderson

Desculpar pelo que? por fazer um tema maravilhoso desses? Você não tem que pedir desculpas por nada… Obrigado por compartilhar o seu conhecimento com os outros….

Marcelo Mesquita

E aê Wanderson, não havia reparado nesse problema. Peço desculpas por isso, estarei corrigindo assim que possível.

Obrigado!

Wanderson

Marcelo eu denovo, é o seguinte quando você ativa o lead_manager, se você tiver mais de dois itens no submenu só apareçe os dois primeiros no IE agora no FireFox apareçe todos normalmente. Você já viu esse problema?

François Holanda

Agora consegui baixar. Obrigado Marcelo!

Marcelo Mesquita

Olá François,
o link para download leva para outra página que contém o link do arquivo (faço isso apenas para fins de estatística). Eu acabei de testar, e ambos funcionaram. Se o problema persistir, me avise que te mando o tema por e-mail, ok.

Em breve o tema estará disponível também no diretório de temas do WordPress, assim que for publicado eu altero o link do post.

François Holanda

Muito bonito o tema. Mas Marcelo o link não esta funcionando.

Marcelo Mesquita

Wanderson,
você tem que alterar o HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT em inc/custom-header.php. Alguns trechos do css desse tema são definidos dinâmicamente, por isso não deve estar adiantando alterar o css/style.css, ok.

Boa sorte!

Wanderson

OBS: no ie6 o tamanho é alterado normalmente

Wanderson

Marcelo,

Me de um Help, eu estou tentando mudar o tamanho da imagem do cabeçalho que é de 120px para 199px, o tamanho da imagem eu já conseguir alterar na css, mas ela continua exibindo atrás do menu. Vc já tentou alterar o tamanho dessa imagem?

Chris Benseler

Que bacana a idéia desse tema: prático, bonito e altamente customizável!
Parabéns! Pelo blog tb ;)

Wanderson

Olá marcelo, tenho acompanhado o trabalho de vocês ai do Minc a muito tempo, atualmente estou estudando ferramentas para wordpress e cada vez que vocês apareçem com uma coisa nova eu logo quero testar, vou colocar o tema no ar e breve posto o link….

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho….

BT'x

Sem dúvida esse theme é muito bom \o/
Sacada fenomenal Marcelo :-D /up pra vc rapaz!!!
BOLADÃO@BR tu é foda XD

Fernando Lopes

Marcelo, muito boa sua iniciativa. Achei muito prático e bonito o theme. Espero ansioso pelo download. Obrigado.
