[edit] Unsorted Questions and Answers

[edit] Q

How can I modify the menus so that they don't disappear behind a flash object at the top of the page/post?

[edit] Q

After upgrading to v. 1.40.1 all previous blog posts appear as excerpts only, even though "Full Text" is selected in WP Reading settings. Can't find any new control in Mandigo over excerpts vs. full text for posts, so I reverted back to 1.39. How can I make sure full posts will appear when upgrading to 1.40.1?

[edit] Q

How can I change the color of the Navigation Font instead of using the black stripe?

[edit] A

Changing the color of the font I do not know, but you can change the black translucent stripe behind the navigation. You can change the color by replacing the image "head_overlay.png" in the images folder of mandigo theme. This is a standard black dot at 50% opacity, you can make a for example white dot at 50% opacity to get a white translucent stripe.

---v1.41 --

Open the style.css file. In row 776 change the color.

.pages a, .pages a:hover { font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: bold; color: #FFF; letter-spacing: -.08em !important; letter-spacing: -.1em; }

[edit] Q

In a MU environment, is there a way to set theme defaults for blogs to have when using the Mandigo theme? Not a default selected theme, but Mandigo-specific options like 2/3 columns, don't display date, etc.

[edit] Q

Is version 1.35 compatible with WordPress MU?

It seems to work fine on the primary blog in the root directory, but displays incorrectly in sub-blogs in sub directories. I also get this message: Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/christc8/public_html/knowinghim/wp-content/themes/mandigo/backend/theme_options.php on line 212

By the way, the improvements in 1.35 on a single user installation are wonderful! Thanks!

Installing 1.35 on another server gives me the same error, might have to do with 2.6 update which I hadn't done. Doing that now and will check after!

[edit] A

Yes, Mandigo 1.35 and up are compatible with WP MU. The PHP warning you are reporting has been silenced in version 1.36

[edit] Q

Does the theme not support showing summary of posts only? I seem to always have the full post show up even when I have an excerpt for the post and the summary option selected in the dashboard.

[edit] Q

The "Automatically collapse posts in archives & categories" in theme options also collapses my regular posts on the main page when this option is selected, not just archives & categories.

[edit] A

Apparently this is a bug in version 1.36.2 which will be fixed in the next release. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/200248?replies=4

[edit] Q

Is there a way to have the post collapse and expand when clicking on its title in addition to using the collapse icon?

[edit] A

Had to replace link before post in index.php with

<a href="javascript:togglePost(<?php the_ID(); ?>);" id="switch-post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

If anyone knows how to do this without editing the index.php file please advise.

[edit] Q

Is there a way to prevent the javascript menus which drop down from going all crazy when you move mouse cursor off and then back on without having to disable all animations?

[edit] A

This issue has been resolved in version 1.37. See the changes in footer.php here: http://www.onehertz.com/portfolio/wordpress/mandigo/diff/?diff_l=1.36.2&diff_r=1.37&diff_f=footer.php

[edit] Q

How would one replace the blog name text in the header with an image instead? Can that be done on the html inserts section without having to change header.php?

[edit] A

Got it to work by creating a new section in the first box of html inserts and then just adjusting spacing values X, Y, and Z.

<style type="text/css">
#logo {
        float: center;
        top: Xpx;
        left: -Ypx;
        z-index: 101;
        position: relative;
        margin: -Zpx 0 0 0;
}
</style>

<div id="logo">
<a href="blog_address"><img src="image_address" /></a>
</div>

[edit] Q

How would one change the blog name text colour in the header to be able to see the title on white pictures?

[edit] Q

I have been unable to get v1.38 to show black borders around the blog title. I can make changes to the site, such as add/remove black strip to header, however, even after re-uploading the header-1024.png from a fresh ZIP from your site, that change never takes effect. This capability worked in v1.34 up to v1.36.2

Thanks for your assistance!

[edit] Q

Where is set the variable widget_meta? I changed the title of the meta some days ago, and now I cannot find it anywhere. Thank you

[edit] A

In the current version of Mandigo, it's in the /backend/widgets.php file, There you can edit the links. I think you've just changed the name in /themes/widgets in the Wordpress backend (yourblogaddress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php) {change the bold piece into your blog's URL}.

[edit] Q

How do you change the colour of the navigation submenu? Thank you for any assistance!

[edit] Q

Ive got a few questions about my blog www.sandybarris.com

How can i get rid of the white gaps that come and go between sentences.

How can i change the size and color of the catagories that are listed after the post head?

I installed "All in One Adsense and YPN" and i can't get it to show any adsense ads. Any ideas

Thanks

Sandy

[edit] Q

I just upgraded to 1.40.1, but have these problems

1) when the website loads, the LEFT Sidebar appears in the middle of the page, and only moves to the LEFT, when the page completes loading.

2) The font size of the Post Header, the Tags, the Sidebar Headings are all TOO BIG, we did not change any of the default settings, but its all too large and ugly. How do we change it back to its original size? Using both MSIE & Chrome, they are too big!

• But when i view a post/page, then the sizes of the sidebar headings are all back to their normal sizes!

3) How do i hide the TAGS from appearing on the main website? Can the tags just appear when i am viewing a post?

[edit] Q

How do I style submenus in the header navigation?

[edit] Q

How can I change the font used in the sidebar headers without changing the other fonts on the page?

Thanks-

[edit] Q

There must be some code that one copies from the main template to a post template to allow the static header and footer widget content to be displayed on individual pages/posts. Is there, and what is it / where do I find it please? Thank you.

[edit] Q

In Mandigo v1.41 - using Firefox 3.0.11 the first 2 links along the header area both point to the homepage when on the first should (ie second isn't working), the rest along the bar are fine. The template works fine in IE8. Is there something to change?
