I like the design, maybe there is too much space between the content on the front page. Looks very modern…

Hoss, first of all read the instructions:
“IMPORTANT! The Featured post should NOT also be the latest post, or it will appear twice!”

Write a new post and you´ll see.

“Fresh post older than the most recent”
There is an easy solution. Just change the script in home.php. Take the same script as for featured post and change the id. before you have to set up a category for your newest entries like “Fresh” and check out the id number in wp-admin. every new post gets the standard id “Fresh” and from now on you will have the recent news on top.

code should look like this
fresh_post = get_posts( ‘category=YOUrIDFORFRESHCATEGORY&numberposts=1′ )

i used this dirty way on my blog:

which wp-version is used in your case? wp 2.5.1 or 2.6?

Hoss, as far as I know, there’s no problem with this. Read the directions and try again. :)

Hoping you can help. I followed your directions re: Fresh and Featured posts but I still end up with a Fresh post older than the most recent and the Featured post is the same as the Fresh.

Thanks

The “About” text is actually in home.php. I’m not seeing any numbers.

Love the theme FuturosityVero and want to use it. I keep getting numbers after the headings of the posts when in PREVIOUS and NEXT. Also trying to remove the ABOUT block but can’t find any reference in sidebar.php

The bullets are hard coded in the theme files. Just search in the files for ♦ and change it to whatever you want (for example, • for a standard bullet).

Hey Robert, thanks so much for your response. That worked, and I should have tried that first!

Just one more question:

How can I style the bullets that are on the timestamp for posts? Example:

July 1, 2008 ♦ Comment

granolajoe, the “author” tag is styled as a link, but that’s not actually what you want to change. You just want to style the “entry-meta” div. Try adding something like this to your style.css file:

.entry-meta{color: red [or whatever color you want];}

That should work.

Hi Robert,

First I want to say that I absolutely love Futurosity Vero. It’s a theme that my fiancee and I feel is fun and we can expand upon.

That being said, I’ve been changing colors and font styles, and there is one class I simply can’t change: the “author vcard” that is in the entry-meta div on single.php.

You can see on this page: http://granola-joe.com/2008/05/15/green-social-media-on-the-rise/ that the text for the post info is grey. I haven’t been able to change that by referencing it in style.css and assigning a color.

Does this have something to do with the fact that it’s a microformat? And what can I do to style its text?

Thanks,

- Joe
