   Great theme. I just can’t get a recent comments in the sidebar and no recent comment widget available under presentation/widgets

2. Posted on 27 Jun 2007 at 10:54 am#2admin

   Steve, i must have forgot to add this to functions.php - i’ll do it later and update the theme

3. Posted on 28 Jun 2007 at 7:46 pm#3Maxdata

   hi, really nice theme, i love it.

   where can i change the adsense code, the widget itself got no function for it

   thanks

   max

4. Posted on 28 Jun 2007 at 8:32 pm#4admin

   Hi Maxdata,

   The adsense sidebar widgets are called “myads1″ and “myads2″

5. Posted on 28 Jun 2007 at 8:48 pm#5Maxdata

   thanks for the quick reply, yes if drop the myads1 or myads2 into the sidebar i can’t edit them as i can do with text1 or any other widget

6. Posted on 28 Jun 2007 at 9:14 pm#6admin

   Hmm, this is strange - i’ve seen quite a few people so far who are using Finishing Touch with there own adense code on.

   Did you goto ‘edit widget?’

   My other suggestion for a quick fix is, open funtions.php found in the finishing touch theme folder.

   Scroll down and you’ll see two seperate blocks of adsense code, you can edit them there - save and upload.

   Would you mind pasting me the URL to the site, so i can check it out?

   Cheers

   Hi Came across your site - What a great theem - Looks fantstic and performs well with great widgets

   Thansk

   By the way how do I download the theme

   Thanks

   Hamant

8. Posted on 29 Jun 2007 at 7:55 pm#8Paul

   Is there a way to get rid of the adsense ads altogether? If I delete the verbiage out of the ‘functions.php’ file, will it have an adverse affect on anything?

9. Posted on 29 Jun 2007 at 8:24 pm#9Maxdata

   I can’t see an ‘edit widget?’ option, where should it be? In Presentation > Widgets ?
   I see only configure for the other widgets

   Thanks

10. Posted on 29 Jun 2007 at 11:09 pm#10Lee

    The other option would be open functions.php in the finishing touch folder, edit the AdSense code and upload the changes.

    As for removing the ads all together, go to presentation > widgets > then drag the widgets you want into your columns and leave myads1 and myads2 on the selection bar below.

11. Posted on 29 Jun 2007 at 11:31 pm#11Paul

    Thanks, Lee.
    I tried adding the widgets I wanted, but when I do that it removes all the ‘precanned’ widgets from the sidebar, and there isn’t a ‘recent comment’ widget on the selction bar (which I want included), so if I customize the right sidebar at all, I end up losing the ‘recent comments’ widget altogether.
    Ideally, my ‘recent comments’ widget would be there above my ‘recent posts’ widget… but I would settle for any order, if I could remove the ads.

    By the way, fantastic theme.

12. Posted on 29 Jun 2007 at 11:50 pm#12admin

    Hey Paul,

    I’ll be updating the theme soon to include a selection for recent comments

13. Posted on 30 Jun 2007 at 9:50 pm#13admin

    Paul, would you email me your functions.php file to contact@theme-time.com

14. Posted on 02 Jul 2007 at 1:12 pm#14Paul

    on the way.

15. Posted on 03 Jul 2007 at 9:52 am#15jw

    I do not see any options for the adsense widget.
    Where do i find the adsense sidebar widgets called “myads1″ and “myads2″?

    we gave ten dollars for the them because we loved the layout. but no options any where for adsense.

    Also how can you control the CALENDER to show dates that are in the future and still be published to the blog?

    any help would be great. thanks

16. Posted on 03 Jul 2007 at 10:29 am#16admin

    Hey Jw,

    Firstly with the adsense widget, open up functions.php and you’ll see two entries of adsense code, add in your publisher ID and upload.

    Then open sidebar.php and repeat the process.

    The calendar is driven by wordpress, it’s not unique to finishing touch - Try doing some searchs for calendar plugins on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins

17. Posted on 03 Jul 2007 at 2:00 pm#17Paul

    Lee, thanks for all your help getting my theme customized and up and running! I appreciate your work ethic and willingness to get it done exactly how we wanted it. My boss loves it!

18. Posted on 03 Jul 2007 at 5:04 pm#18Paul

    This might sound like a basic question… it probably is… but is there a way to format these posts to print with only the post and comments… basically none of the sidebars?

    I know you can print preview and then print only the relevant pages, but am not sure if it is possible to link to a formatted page for printing.

19. Posted on 03 Jul 2007 at 8:04 pm#19Lee

    Hey Paul,

    Your probably looking for a plugin - i don’t think i would be able to integrate that feature in a theme.

    It may come with every word press installation, but if not - try doing a few searches over at http://wordpress.org/extend/downloads

20. Posted on 05 Jul 2007 at 2:53 pm#20Steve

    Hi,
    Just checking to see if Finishing Touch has been upgraded to fix the Recent Comments issue. Thank you.
    Steve

21. Posted on 05 Jul 2007 at 4:39 pm#21admin

    Steve,

    Refresh this page a few times, then click download - recent comments and a few other bug fixes have been added.

22. Posted on 06 Jul 2007 at 4:20 pm#22Robert

    I love this template but is there a way I can remove the orange and white design at the top?

23. Posted on 06 Jul 2007 at 5:13 pm#23admin

    Hey Robert,

    It’s easily done - just overwrite the header.png file in the images folder with anything you wish, and re-upload the image to your server

24. Posted on 06 Jul 2007 at 6:16 pm#24Robert

    Hi, me again. I’m having a little trouble doing that. I’m using cPanel and i’m trying to do what you said but it doesn’t seem to change anything. The file header.png stays no matter what I upload.

25. Posted on 07 Jul 2007 at 1:10 pm#25Jared

    Yeah, how do I remove the Copyright symbol from the bottom part? I don’t care about removing your links, I just want my website not to be copyrighted.

26. Posted on 07 Jul 2007 at 2:35 pm#26Lee

    Something must be going wrong somewhere.

    Are you sure your overwriting the file correctly? Because if header.png has been replaced, it’s impossible for the old file to show

27. Posted on 07 Jul 2007 at 5:26 pm#27Nightfall Free WordPress Theme Download - Theme Time

    […] comes with all the style and functionality of Finishing Touch, aswell a banner you can easily change - previously offered in Dark Effect. So this time […]

28. Posted on 07 Jul 2007 at 6:41 pm#28Robert

    Well that’s the thing, I don’t think I’m doing it right. What I do is highlight the image from my computer and then highlight the header.png and hit upload. After that my image is on my site’s server and the header is still there. Any idea on what I’m doing wrong?

29. Posted on 07 Jul 2007 at 7:33 pm#29admin

    Hey Robert,

    Try doing this:

    Download the theme again, overwrite the header.png image in the theme folder - upload your whole theme again, and activate - that should do the trick

30. Posted on 08 Jul 2007 at 1:17 pm#30Jared

    Is there a way to remove the Copyright (My site)? It’s pretty irritating.

31. Posted on 08 Jul 2007 at 1:25 pm#31admin

    Hey Jared,

    Currently, the only way to remove / add things in the footer area is to brand free the template, then the sponsored links are removed, and the footer file becomes editable so you can add / take away anything you want.

32. Posted on 15 Jul 2007 at 11:58 pm#32Terry

    Hi,
    I have branding free your template. I want to know where I can change the font size for the articles and for the block content on the sidebar?
    Thanks

33. Posted on 18 Jul 2007 at 3:02 am#33Jeff

    Is there a way to turn the calendar into an event tracking and information feature or do I have to get a plug-in?

34. Posted on 18 Jul 2007 at 9:48 pm#34Lee

    #32 - Open style.css and do a search for ” 12px; ”
    Replace all instances with a higher number, like: ” 13px; ”

    Save and upload.

    #33 - I’m really unsure on this one jeff, it might possibly be a plugin though.

35. Posted on 24 Jul 2007 at 3:07 pm#35Robert

    How do I change the colors where it says, Home and About? For that matter is there a way to add more options?

36. Posted on 28 Jul 2007 at 2:17 pm#36Robert

    Does the background have a name?

37. Posted on 28 Jul 2007 at 4:17 pm#37Ken

    I’m having trouble with adding the shopping cart. Any advice?

38. Posted on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:57 am#38admin

    Robert, just replace the background image, its called something along the lines of “top-nav”, but if you right click the background image on your site, and click ’save as’ you’ll be able to find the file name out.

    Ken, I’ve never tried to implement a shopping cart into a blog before, so i can’t help you on that, sorry!

39. Posted on 01 Aug 2007 at 2:28 pm#39Robert

    What about on the right side where it says “Recent Comments” it shows the comment with the date next to it, the date is always white and I can’t find anything in the CSS to turn it another color. What would that be called?

40. Posted on 01 Aug 2007 at 4:55 pm#40Robert

    Nevermind the recent comments thing, I have of course e-mailed you twice regarding payment for the brand free option, is there a way that I can pay you with a check or money order?

41. Posted on 02 Aug 2007 at 10:47 pm#41Robert

    What’s the deal with the footer? I had changed it to another color but there’s still a thin black strip at the bottom and at the right side of the page, what’s up with that?

42. Posted on 03 Aug 2007 at 2:35 am#42Robert

    Nevermind again, it’s just one of those things you have to find in the ftp files.

43. Posted on 03 Aug 2007 at 11:05 pm#43Robert

    On second thought, it hasn’t changed yet, I’m pretty sure it’s “form-bg.gif but it never changes on the site.

44. Posted on 04 Aug 2007 at 8:55 pm#44Robert

    On second second, thought, nevermind again.

45. Posted on 05 Aug 2007 at 10:20 pm#45Steve Myers

    Hey Steve,

    Excellent theme, love it. We are using it at http://www.blackberrylog.info - Let us know what you think as we have done some (minor) touches to it, but it’s getting a lot of compliments on the work, and the credit goes to you guys.

    Thank you again for such an amazing theme for us to use.

46. Posted on 05 Aug 2007 at 10:21 pm#46Steve Myers

    Hehe, sorry admin, looked at the wrong post thinking you were Steve, go ahead and change that comment to “admin”

    Thank you sir

47. Posted on 06 Aug 2007 at 2:00 am#47Robert

    One thing though, my site name and something that says Back to Top are at the bottom, but they will not change colors, what’s up with that?

48. Posted on 06 Aug 2007 at 3:41 pm#48Robert

    And it will not go away either.

49. Posted on 07 Aug 2007 at 3:22 pm#49Robert

    Wait a sec, sorry for all of the comments, I’m sure you can delete them all. The current problems I’m having are.

    1. The links at the bottom that have my site’s name and back to top stay yellow and I can’t change their colors nor can I change the color that it gets when you hover over them.

    2. Can I put the search bar somewhere else on the page?

    3. Can the banner size be altered somehow?

50. Posted on 24 Sep 2007 at 3:23 am#50Jason

    I’ve installed this theme and the sidebars don’t even show up. No idea what the problem is. Any ideas? I’ve got them as widgets, and I’ve tried it without to no avail.

51. Posted on 24 Sep 2007 at 3:25 am#51Jason

    Oh yeah.. same thing happens with the Dark Effect reloaded theme.

52. Posted on 24 Sep 2007 at 5:31 pm#52admin

    Hi there,

    please send me the link to your actual installation and I will see if I can replicate the problem you are having.

    thanks

53. Posted on 01 Oct 2007 at 2:25 pm#53admin

    FYI.. This theme has been fixed to work with Wordpress 2.3 Latest files have been uploaded.

54. Posted on 05 Oct 2007 at 8:22 pm#54Olivier Katoto

    After upgrading to wp 2.3 this is what i am getting on top of posts in the index page only

    “Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /misc/21/513/263/398/user/web/voiceofafricanwomen.com/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 176″

    What can I do to fix this

55. Posted on 05 Oct 2007 at 11:52 pm#55admin

    This theme has been updated to work with wordpress 2.3. All bugs and errors have been fixed. simply download the latest version. I hope that helps.

    thanks

56. Posted on 14 Oct 2007 at 6:21 am#56lcd

    Love the theme. I have the Brand Free version.

    When i go to “FinishingTouch Options”, Under Support for Asides / Side Notes, I see the error message:
    WordPress database error: [Table ‘bbdweplay.wp_categories’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT * from wp_categories WHERE category_count > 0

    What’s the solution?

57. Posted on 14 Oct 2007 at 2:41 pm#57admin

    Im glad you’re enjoying the theme

    With regards to the error, we actually removed support for asides from all of our themes since there are now a few plugins available to do this. We’re trying to clean up our themes from wordpress 2.3 onwards leaving out the more hacked together code which honestly we cannot support from version to version. We just dont have the time

    Pushing people to use supported plugins allows us to concentrate more on releasing good quality widget ready themes rather than spending hours on each wordpress update fixing all the extra options.

    With regards to the options being available in the admin menu, thats a mistake on our part as they should have been removed. I hope that helps and if you have any more problems let me know.

    thanks

58. Posted on 14 Oct 2007 at 7:17 pm#58lcd

    Thanks for your quick response. I’m a Web Developer, And i understand how it can be very time consuming to try to keep up with every WordPress release. To many variables to constantly consider.

    Thanks for the great work on the themes.

59. Posted on 16 Oct 2007 at 8:45 pm#59lcd

    I spot a problem.
    I don’t see: “Previous Page” or “Next Page” links at the bottom of the Home page to view the other posts. It’s normally at the bottom of the home page.

    What’s the solution?

60. Posted on 17 Oct 2007 at 8:39 am#60susheel

    Yup me too can’t see “Previous Page” or “Next Page” options.

    Can you repost it, please.

63. Posted on 19 Oct 2007 at 3:37 am#63lcd

    I found the solution. I posted this on line 27 of the index.php file:
