    In reply to: Make Featured Image Automatically Size to Fit

    #38690

    The theme automatically crops your featured images to fit within the slider, but this cropping is performed by WordPress and as you have discovered, it’s not perfect. The reason is there’s simply no way for (not yet at least) WordPress to know which part of the image you’d like to keep and which part to crop out.

    So yes, the best way to ensure that your images fit in the slider as you intended is to crop and resize it before uploading it. Or you can use the Post Thumbnail Editor plugin.

    Yeah, some of the action hooks share the same name because they have the same position with regards to the theme’s layout. This makes it easy if one wants to add say a social sharing button in all the posts regardless of whether it’s the single post view or the archive view.

    You can fine tune where widgets appear by using the Widget Logic plugin.

    Add to the theme’s Custom CSS option:

    .post,
    .entry-footer {
    border: none
    }

    You might want to try this plugin:

    Yes, there has been conflict with jQuery UI Tabs and the jQueryTools library that the theme uses for the slider. This have been fixed in the latest development version though, and will be available in the next update.

    However, the Post UI Tabs plugin itself has an issue in that it’s trying to load a stylesheet file for the tabs from Google’s server, which returns a 404 Not Found error. So even though there is no conflict with the theme, the plugin will still not work because of this.

    I’ve tried several tabs plugin in the course of investigating this issue, and found that the WP UI plugin is the the best one if you’re looking for the tabs functionality.

    Which plugin are you using for the UI Tabs?

    In reply to: A Question on other country domain endings ?

    #37473

    I think the only way that it is possible to have a domain that ends in .pe.com is to register pe.com domain, and then create your website as subdomains of that domain. That way technically you can have .my.com, ca.com, etc. It’s not technically a country-specific domain name, but just looks like it.

    In the case of the franchise you described above, it would mean that they bought the pe.com domain, and then host (and publicise) their website on the domain.pe.com subdomain.

    There are many reasons why one entity would buy the same domain with different endings – to protect their brand is one obvious reason. Which then depends on how much they’re willing to spend for that. Consider all the available ccTLD, and then consider all the gTLD. To buy the entire domains list with all the endings permutations would cost a lot, so that’s a decision that the entity has to make.

    Not that it’s strictly necessary though. The ICANN has guidelines on domain name disputes. For example, if someone were to buy khairul-syahir.org or khairul-syahir.net, in the hope that maybe one day I’ll want those domain names bad enough I’ll have to buy it from them at exorbitant price, I can just simply raise a dispute to ICANN and show that they have no basis for holding that domain name other than to extort money from me.

    Of course then it’s a legal issue with all the legal costs.

    You can have both, e.g. for Malaysia you can have .my, .com.my, .edu.my, .org.my, etc. The logic I think is that the country-code top level domain (ccTLD) is to designate the country, and then the generic top-level domain (gTLD) is to designate the nature of the organisation that owns the website. Therefore you can have a website that ends with .edu.my and people can reasonably surmise from that alone that the website is about an educational entity based in or provides services in Malaysia.

    In this case, websites with just ccTLD and no gTLD usually refers to personal websites (e.g. khairul-syahir.my), or websites that want to have wordplay in their domain name (e.g. anato.my).
