In reply to: Full width slider problem

#18707

To change the size of the background image for the slider, insert this into your child theme’s functions.php file:

function graphene_custom_slider_image_size(){

return 960;

}

add_filter( 'graphene_slider_full_image_width', 'graphene_custom_slider_image_size' );

Josh is right, the theme tells WordPress to auto-crop the image to 930px wide so that it fits nicely in the slider. When you change the slider size, you’ll have to do the above too so that WordPress crops the slider image to the new size.

Note that when you do the change, your existing images won’t be resized. You need to either upload the image again, or use the AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild plugin.

Did you already made some changes to the theme’s files before you made the child theme? If yes, then of course those changes wouldn’t be transferred over. You would need to redo the customisations again using the child theme.

When you switch to a child theme, only certain settings would be reset. These are the Custom Menu, Custom Header, and Custom Background. In the case of Custom Menu, you can just go to WP Admin > Appearance > Menus and reassign the custom menu again. This is just the way WordPress works. All other settings in Graphene Options should stay intact.

To WordPress, a Child Theme is a new theme, so it will come fresh out of the box. All the settings you’ve made to another theme, stays with that theme…

Actually, only certain settings are reset when switching to a child theme. These are the custom header, custom background, and custom menus. All other settings within the Graphene Options page should stay the same.

In reply to: Moving homepage panes to sidebar

#18718

Hurm…I don’t think there’s an easy way to do that..

One hack would be to install the PHP Code Widget plugin, then go to Appearance > Widgets, and insert this into the PHP Code Widget widget:

<?php graphene_display_homepage_panes(); ?>

That will display the same 4 homepage panes as the bottom ones. Use CSS to hide the first two, and modify the sizes and whatnot to fit in the sidebar.

Try removing the first two functions (graphene_display_slider() and graphene_scrollable()) from your child theme and just insert this:

function graphene_display_slider(){

graphene_slider();

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable' );

}

Seems like it’s working fine for both with and without the www now?

In reply to: Is it ok if I update the Swedish translation?

#18583

I actually used ngettext() initially when I first prepared the theme for public release. I remember I encountered some problem getting it to work properly with WordPress, POEdit, and the GNU gettext package. It’s the comments_number() function which uses % comments instead of %d comments.

Anyways, I’ll take a look at it again.

Currently, there’s no integration effort yet between Graphene and BuddyPress, and as far as I know Qtranslate uses shortcodes to mark contents in different languages, so it should work. The only multilingual plugin that’s confirmed compatible with Graphene so far is WPML. I am now currently working on bbPress 2.0 (plugin version) compatibility, for the next update.

I’m not sure how up to date is the Russian translation, though. If you’re willing to help maintain it, you’re welcomed to do so 🙂

I thought this forum was a place for people who had questions and didn’t know how to do stuff.

This is exactly what this forum is for, among others, but a prerequisite to that is the willingness to learn. The only place where you’ll find that prerequisite is not required is the marketplace.
