First: I would think about if I really want to load multiple BIG images. In a slider like this all images have to be transferred first to your visitor, a lot of traffic..

Second: You try to load two of this sliders, I would start with one (the smaller in the sidebar) and only if one is working go and setup a second slider.

Third: you might realize these '-->' under your navigation menu? you actually left the old header stuff in place and tried to 'comment' it out. That's not working. Better you delete that 'Gopi header 1.16.2012' stuff and keep a backup of the file before changes.

Looking at the traffic coming from your site I would say, the slider is not working correctly, these two images (a terrible... and all that gitters...) are reloading on each display, that's why it flickers somehow.

Conclusion: start with only one slider at a time, delete stuff you do not need, not just 'hide' it. And do the small one first for bandthwidth reasons.

But do not give up, that's possible anyway.

I am still working with Yoko. Found a plugin called "image slideshow gallery " or Horizontal motion gallery" by Gopi. I would like them to display in place of a still image header. Is that possible?

Find in (Arthemia theme) single.php the last six lines, they should look like this:

<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Now add the following just below <?php endif; ?> and above the following </div>

<div class="navigation">
<div class="right"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
<div class="left"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
</div>

The result should be:

<?php endif; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="right"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
<div class="left"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
</div>
	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

to get the correct styling should be in your style.css already, normally you do not need to change something.
the styles (somewhere in your .css) are:

.navigation {
padding:5px 0px;
text-align:Center;
}

and somewhere else:

.left, .alignleft {
float:left;
}

.right, .alignright {
float:right;
}

Open up single.php with any text editor and find a line with <div id="tools">
In this DIV are some lines loading the icons and also one line, which loads 'the_ratings' if you use the plugin WP-PostRatings. (we delete this line too..)

So delete this:

<div id="tools">
<div style="float:left;"><a href=" http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url= <?php the_permalink();?>&title=<?php the_title();?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/digg.png" title="Digg this!"></a><a href=" http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close
&url=<?php the_permalink();?>
&title=<?php the_title();?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/delicious.png" title="Add to del.icio.us!"></a><a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/stumbleupon.png" title="Stumble this!"></a><a href=" http://technorati.com/faves?add=<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/technorati.png" title="Add to Techorati!"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php the_permalink();?>&t=<?php the_title();?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/facebook.png" title="Share on Facebook!"></a><a href=" http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed&save? u=<?php the_permalink();?>&h=<?php the_title();?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/newsvine.png" title="Seed Newsvine!"></a><a href=" http://reddit.com/submit?url=
<?php the_permalink();?>&title=<?php the_title();?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/reddit.png" title="Reddit!"></a><a href=" http://myweb.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet? t=<?php the_title();?>&u=<?php the_permalink();?>&ei=UTF" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/yahoomyweb.png" title="Add to Yahoo!"></a>
</div>

	<div style="float:right;display:block;"><?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?></div>
	</div>

the following stuff (below the lines deleted) will have to stay in place!!

</div>

	<div id="comments">
	<?php comments_template(); ?>
	</div>
.......

Now the hardcoded icons should be gone, not more and not less.

ABOUT THE OLD 'RO Social Bookmarks' Plugin: I do NOT recommend to use this as it inserts also a hidden link to the developers website into your site! Google doesn't like hidden links! This link you might find in your sites sourcecode:
<div id="dwcredit"><a id="dwlogo" href=".......

Talking about single.php we could add the standard previous/next post link to your single posts here!

Details how to add previous_post_link and next_post_link you find in this topic:

Bad value category tag for attribute rel on element a: Keyword category is not registered.

WordPress adds to the category list of each post: rel="category tag"
The HTML5 Conformance Checker however would like to see only rel="tag"

The solution is to filter "<?php the_category(', '); ?>" (the list of categories generated)

most themes have already a functions.php to add or modify functions of WordPress.

Best for me seems to be to add a filter into this file, which replaces rel="category tag" with rel="tag"

The lines to add to functions.php:

function remove_rel_category( $text ) { // w3c error for Bad value category tag for attribute rel
    $text = str_replace('rel="category tag"', 'rel="tag"', $text);
    return $text;
}
add_filter( 'the_category', 'remove_rel_category' );

Yes, I have been playing around with the sidebar. It has been giving me some trouble. The top Sidebar won't take new widgets so I have been testing to see what it will take. I also can't put anything in the Right Sidebar and I don't need the "pages" in the Left Sidebar but for now "pages"(or "categories") are the only widgets it will accept. I tried turning off and on the plugins to see if that would shake it up. I must have added something by accident that is restricting its use.

I can't thank you enough for all your help. Please if you have any more suggestions, pass them along. They are absolutely welcome :)

/* background: url(images/navbar-wrapper.png); */

more again, (sorry I am 'playing' with your css..)
the sidebar is somehow not nice aligned below adsense ad, I mean div id="sidebar-top"

adding some padding makes it looking better (for me)
you have:
#sidebar-top, #sidebar-bottom {
width:300px;
float:right;

}
better like this:
#sidebar-top, #sidebar-bottom {
width:300px;
float:right;
padding:10px;
}

'the pages' I do not consider by now, at least they move down a bit

and more: to shift the taskbar (the menu) a bit up below your logo remove in #navbar the margin-top:15px;

#navbar {
margin:0 auto;

padding:0px 10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
background: url(images/navbar.png) no-repeat;
}

found this forum in your blogroll ;-)
thank you

Happy holidays for you too, Jörn

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
Marinka

In your style.css the div class="info" tries to load this 'transparent-bg.png' image:

#myslider .ui-tabs-panel .info{
position:absolute;
top:240px; left:0;
width:610px; height:70px;
background: url('images/transparent-bg.png');
}

So what you need is this transparent-bg.png in your .../themes/arthemia/images/ folder on the server:
I put the image for you here: (use 'target save as' with right mouse button)

http://forum.go41.de/downloads/images/transparent-bg.png

and one more image is missing, the small arrow appearing beside the selected item in the slider, the entry is in your css (background:url('images/selected-item.gif') top left no-repeat;), you just need the image, take this one:

http://forum.go41.de/downloads/images/selected-item.gif

So, both images into the folder .../themes/arthemia/images/ and you should be done.

Come back pls if this doesn't do the trick

Yes, I repaired the header.php. No idea how I lost that file in the first place :)
Again, many, many thanks.

decide yourself, I will give you the code, actually by replacing in myslider.php this (occurs twice):
query_posts('showposts=4');
with for example:
query_posts("showposts=4&category_name=Featured");
or
query_posts("showposts=1&category_name=Headline");

or something like that...

I see you 'repaired' the missing /div in header.php

(answers might take a while, I've got to do something else too ;-)

should be okay now, you are welcome

I realized this already on your site, did you change the entry in your 'Image' customfield?

Actually the developer said you should enter this path like this: (sample)

wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Occupy-Toronto-Flag.png

this should in sourcecode result in
....timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2....

your sourcecode for the images looks like this:

...timthumb.php?src=/http://www.ma...n.com/wp-content/uploads/2

looks like you entered the full path including http...

arthemia adds a / in front so that it is not really readable

try with one post to enter only the path starting with wp-content/

Oh, oh. I have a arthemia folder in a arthemia folder. That can't be good. I'm in my FTP right now.

The link to the style.css points this (wrong) way:
....wp-content/themes/arthemia-free/arthemia-free/style.css

I hope that's not because I suggested to use a new timthumb?

I think there was for long time no 'recent' version of this theme, I was just talking about the image resizing script in ....wp-content/arthemia-free/scripts/ folder

I can't thank you enough.
All best,
Marinka

actually you need to remove in index.php stuff just below
<?php if(file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/myslider.php')) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/myslider.php'); } ?>

from here:

<div id="top" class="clearfloat">

<div id="headline">

blabla bla  bla down to this part:

</div>

</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

</div>

KEEP the next line and everything below:

<div id="middle" class="clearfloat">

I think I explained this here:
http://forum.go41.de/topic/content-slider-jquery-ui-for-wordpress-with-timthumb-how-to#post-500

Disable caching while testing - it might cheat you!

I see you put a lot of effort customize a quite old theme. That's okay, but be sure to use the latest timthumb.php available to prevent your server from beeing hacked!

It really happened to my demo site themes.go41.de, was some work to restore and made me remove all themes using this script. Actually WordPress has a good importing and resizing tool built in now, for my feeling better and easier to handle.

I installed the slider using your instructions from about a year ago and it is working (THANK YOU!) but it appears my main index page is slightly different than the one you used to delete the code to remove the headline and features that was previously on the main page. So right now I have both the slider and the "headline," "features" operating. I have been trying to delete the correct code to remove the "headline" and "feature" from the main index php to no avail.

Following is my main index code. Can you tell me what I need to delete from it please?
Again, many, many thanks. Best always, Marinka

there is an open <i> before the word 'Updated' and behind is the closing </i> missing

this is imho the reason of italics in following posts.

you should not use html tags in the title of a post, you might have forgotten this one or it is stripped somehow...

-Install new theme or custom bbPress
Installation is very easy bbPress themes. Just follow the simple steps below.

Create a directory named 'my-templates' in the root directory of bbPress. Suppose you have installed the bbPress forum 'forum' folder (follow the installation steps above). Now you have to create a folder called 'my-templates.
Select the theme and download it to your desktop. Unzip the folder. Now upload the theme to your server on your my-templates directory using any FTP client. You can use Cute FTP, FileZilla or other FTP software. Make sure the transfer mode is set to automatic. No FTP in ASCII 'mode, existing staff more than the current theme or images within the folder will not be visible in your forum.
Enter as Keymaster.
Click Administration and then select the Design tab. The new item is added to the topic at hand. Select your new theme to be your current bbPress theme.
If you want to design your own theme bbPress then follow the steps suggested by bbPress here.
After you have installed bbPress forum and changed the subject that best fits your taste or blog website, now is the time to install plugins. I've compiled a list of 20 plugins bbPress with the installation steps that must be installed to make your forum much more robust, flexible and different from others.

If I want to logout from the dasboard, I get a blank page, why?
Searching the web you find a Ticket #1272 (closed defect: fixed) on http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1272 for:
If you click the Log Out Link you get the following error..
where is the solution:
Changing

<?php bb_logout_link( array( 'redirect' => bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER ) ) ); ?>

to

<?php bb_logout_link( array( 'redirect' => urlencode( bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER) ) ) ); ?>

in admin-header.php fixes this issue.

This ticket is closed with 'Resolution set to fixed' 17 months ago, but still not in the latest files of bbPress 1.1

There is also no documentation of the database structure of this updated software.
My database has the following tables listed:

bb_forums
bb_meta
bb_posts
bb_tagged ->not used anymore?
bb_tags ->not used anymore?
bb_terms
bb_term_relationships
bb_term_taxonomy
bb_topicmeta ->not used anymore?
bb_topics
bb_usermeta
bb_users
subscribe_to_topic ->not used anymore?

I leave these tables as I know the old plugins still use them, but updating any content like tags or subscribers will not be updated by the core.

Coming to plugins, most of them work for versions 0.9.x, there is almost no plugin updated within the last 12 - 18 months.

Okay, this is just a small standalone forum, I will most definitely not make the step to bbPress 2.0 plugin. This WordPress plugin converts your topics to a kind of posts in WordPress and runs as plugin.

Will there be themes and plugins deep in the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes folder?

I would like to get a ready to use WordPress theme for a standalone forum using bbpress-plugin in a blank WordPress.

Just my thoughts after upgrading to the latest and last standalone bbPress 1.1

Kinyofu

Actually bbpress is now available a plugin for WordPress, bbpress 2.0 plugin, which might be the next step for me. As it is not possible to import/convert bbpress 0.9x to the plugin 2.0 version, I had to go this upgrade path via bbpress 1.1

Switching to this latest and last standalone bbpress worked flawless as it seems by now.

Just two plugins I used seem to be obsolete, as they are buikt in now.

One is the plugin 'Subscribe to Topic' which gave you the chance to be emailed on updates.
Possibly you have to use the 'Notify me of follow-up posts via email' marker below to renew your email subscription - we will see.

The second plugin not needed anymore is 'Topics Per Page' for pagination, I just set topics per page in the dashboard now.

On converting the database I realized once again that all spam and deleted posts/topics are still kept in this database...

I deleted them in phpmyadmin in four steps:

First 'delete' all spam topics in your forum dashboard to get marked as deleted

(BACKUP FIRST by EXPORTING, WHO KNOWS)

Second delete all posts in this marked as deleted topics as sql in phpmyadmin:

DELETE FROM bb_posts WHERE post_id IN (
    SELECT post_id FROM (
        SELECT DISTINCT(p.post_id)
        FROM bb_posts AS p LEFT JOIN bb_topics AS t ON p.topic_id=t.topic_id
        WHERE t.topic_status=1
    ) AS bb_posts_in_deleted_topics
);

Third: remove all deleted posts:

DELETE FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status=1;

At last remove all deleted topics:

DELETE FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=1;

I think now the database is cleaner and you should recount posts in the Tools of your Dashboard, just tick all boxes.

Now to your question: Using a theme with different sizes of images I am going for post thumbnails handled now by WordPress.

There is a plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ doing the creation of all image sizes for your images.

To set image size you can use the 'Media Settings' in your dashboard and also functions.php in your theme.

First thing would be to enable post-thumbnails for your theme by adding two lines into your functions.php before the '?>'

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

just below these two lines you also can set additional thumb sizes, looks like this in a theme I use:

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150, true ); // 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall, hard crop mode for archive and index
add_image_size( '300sq-thumbnail', 300, 300, true ); // 300x300 big thumbnail size for headlnes
add_image_size( '80sq-thumbnail', 80, 80, true ); // 80x80 small thumbnail size for index below
add_image_size( '100x65-thumbnail', 100, 65, true ); // 100x65 small thumbnail size for index below

Lets say you put this in your functions.php and run the plugin mentioned above, you will get all your images in your uploads folder in these sizes created additionally.

Now it's time to change the code to call the image in your theme files.
Replace for example in index.php (150px square image)

<div class="spoiler">
<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); if (isset($values[0])) {
	if(substr($values[0], 0, 3) == 'wp-') { $values[0]= "/".$values[0];} // add slash if local url does not have to be compatible to arthemia ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?>&w=150&h=150&zc=1&q=80" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="left" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

with:

<div class="spoiler">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'left' , 'alt' => get_the_title() , 'title' => get_the_title() )); //get the 150px square ?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

and for the 80px square replace:

<div class="spoiler">
<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); if (isset($values[0])) {
	if(substr($values[0], 0, 3) == 'wp-') { $values[0]= "/".$values[0];} // add slash if local url does not have to be compatible to arthemia ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?>&w=80&h=80&zc=1&q=80" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="left" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<p><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo string_limit_words($excerpt,23) . " ...\r\n"; ?></p>
</div>

with this post_thumb code:

<div class="spoiler">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('80sq-thumbnail', array('class' => 'left' , 'alt' => get_the_title() , 'title' => get_the_title() )); ?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
<p><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo string_limit_words($excerpt,23) . " ...\r\n"; ?></p>
</div>

Okay, that's to start, either switch to a new theme using post thumbnails or modify arthemix, it's some work to do...

Tell me what you will do, I can help more - but not tonight ;-)
