How to Install and Set Up WP-Vybe 2.0

August 03, 2008 | admin | Comments 124

It doesn’t take a lot to install and set up your new WP-Vybe WordPress theme. Read on, and you’ll have it knocked out in a snap.

Step 1 – Unzip the File

The file you downloaded can be unzipped with any standard unzip program (if you don’t have one already installed on your computer, Stuffit Expander is a popular option for PC or MAC users). When you unzip the file, you’ll end up with a folder named “wp-vybe.” Within it are all the theme files along with the end user license agreement (please take a moment to read over the license agreement).

Step 2 – Upload the Theme Files to Your WordPress Site

For this step, you’ll need an FTP (file transfer protocol) program. An FTP program allows you to transfer files between your computer and your web hosting account. There are several available, but I use SmartFTP. You’ll want to upload your theme folder to the /wp-content/themes folder in your WordPress installation.

Step 3 – Activate WP-Vybe

Login to your WordPress control panel, and click the Appearance link on the left. On the next page you’ll see all your available themes. Simply click on the WP-Vybe screenshot, then click the Activate link in the upper right-hand corner of the pop-up screen.

Step 4 – Set Up Your Featured Articles Section

If you don’t already have a “Featured” category, you’ll need to create one. Click the Manage tab, then Categories on the sub-navigation bar. Create a new category named “Featured”. Also, be sure the category slug is “featured”.

For the Featured Articles function to work correctly, you may also need to modify your permalink structure. To do that, go to Settings -> Permalinks. Just be sure that any option other than the default permalink structure is selected.

Finally, the only thing left to do is to place some of your posts/articles in the Featured category. By default, the theme is set up to display your 5 most recent Featured Articles in the featured article box on your home page. You can change that number on the WP-Vybe Theme Settings page if you like.

Step 5 – Install and Activate Plugins Supported by WP-Vybe

WP-Vybe has built-in support for the following plugins:

Recently Popular – Your Most Popular Posts will appear at the top of the right sidebar in the tabbed navigation box as seen on this site. In WP-Vybe the plugin is configured to look at the past two weeks but this can be changed by modifying the plugin code in side-tabs.php:

<?php get_recently_popular(2, ‘WEEK’, 5, 0, 2); ?>

The first number within the parentheses is the interval length and the word following it is for the interval type (HOUR, DAY, WEEK, or MONTH). See the plugin’s page here for more details.

WP-Print – If you install and activate WP-Print, a printer icon will appear at the top of each Single post page. See this post for an example. If you don’t install it, the theme will function just fine without it; you just won’t give your readers the option to print out your posts. Note: Be sure to Update Permalinks AFTER you activate the plugin as mentioned on the “Installation” page for the plugin here.

Get the Image – This is a sweet, little plugin from the very brilliant Justin Tadlock. It will make it easier for you to include post thumbnails and featured photos for all your posts without using custom fields. More on that in another tutorial. Again, if you decide not to use it, the theme will function fine without it.

Be sure you download the latest version of each plugin and upload them to your wp-content/plugins folder. Then activate them. The theme will do the rest.

Step 6 – Add Some Content to Your Sidebars

Go to Appearance -> Widgets and drag some content into your sidebars. Be sure to click the ‘Save Changes’ button when you’re done.

Step 7 – Be Sure to Visit the WP-Vybe Theme Settings Page

The link for this page is available under Appearance. I’ve given you a whole slew of optional settings for the theme, so feel free to change a few of them, and see what sort of site you can create for yourself.

Optional Step 8 – Make Your Featured Articles Scroll Automatically

  1. Wow Michael,

    You made yet another astonishing theme!

    Congrats on this one and keep ‘m coming!

  2. Caspar says:

    Looking forward to the tutorial on Get the Image and using post thumbnails & images! I’m a bit baffled by how this works at the moment.
    Great theme, keep up the good work!

    Caspar

  3. Phil says:

    Michael,

    Have to say your support helping me get my site up and running has been EXCELLENT! Usually back to me within minutes no matter what the question. I am amazed.

    As a total novice I thought this would be way over my head. You have made it very easy so far.

    Thanks again,
    Phil

  4. Love the template! First one I’ve been willing to pay for. And your instructions are so good it took all of 10 minutes to get up and running. I have a couple of questions.

    Is it possible to suppress “About the Author” on the posts?

    Did you not include the rotating of featured articles with this template? That was a nice feature on the Magazine template and I was hoping this would be included.

    I would like to add a bunch of book pictures on the left side of my blog (instead of the about, archive, etc.) that link to blog entries. How do I do that?

    Your template has taken my blog to a whole new level. Thank you, thank you!

  5. Michael Pollock says:

    Hi Joanne:

    Thanks for the purchase, and thanks for the kind words … glad the set-up was easy.

    I knew I should have made that an option in the control panel … next release I suppose. In the meantime, to suppress Author Profile, do this:

    Open the Single Post template, and find this code:

    <div class="auth-bio clearfix">
            <p class="cats"><strong><?php _e("Filed Under"); ?></strong>: <?php the_category(' &bull; '); ?></p>
            <?php the_tags("<p class='tags'><strong> Tags</strong>: "," &bull; ", "</p>"); ?>
            <p class="bio">
            <?php // this is the author photo pulled from gravatar site
            if (function_exists('get_avatar')) {
            $gravsize = $wp_vybe_grav_size;
            $author_email = get_the_author_email();
            echo get_avatar($author_email,$size="$gravsize");
            } else {
            //alternate gravatar code for < 2.5
            $gravsize = $wp_vybe_grav_size;
            $md5 = md5( $email=get_the_author_email() );
            echo "<img class='avatar' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=$md5&amp;size=$gravsize' alt='' />";
            } ?>
            <strong><?php _e("About the Author"); ?></strong>: <?php the_author_description(); ?></p>
    </div>

    Then just change to this:

    <div class="auth-bio clearfix">
            <p class="cats"><strong><?php _e("Filed Under"); ?></strong>: <?php the_category(' &bull; '); ?></p>
            <?php the_tags("<p class='tags'><strong> Tags</strong>: "," &bull; ", "</p>"); ?>
    </div>

    This will leave just the categories and tags.

    As for adding book pictures along the left, you’ll need to switch back to the 3-column layout (obviously), then you can place the code for your pics and links in a srandard text widget. The code to use would be something like this:

    <div style="margin-bottom:5px;display:block;"><a href="http://www.link1.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.gif" alt="" /></a></div>
    <div style="margin-bottom:5px;display:block;"><a href="http://www.link2.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/image2.gif" alt="" /></a></div>
    <div style="margin-bottom:5px;display:block;"><a href="http://www.link3.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/image3.gif" alt="" /></a></div>
    <div style="margin-bottom:5px;display:block;"><a href="http://www.link4.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/image4.gif" alt="" /></a></div>

    Obviously, you’d want to change the links above, and upload your images and change the img src above.

  6. EMAIL UPDATES QUESTION:
    Is it possible to tie this into a different opt-in, opt-out system besides the one provided by Feedburner? I have not had great success with that service in the past and some of the blogs I manage publish too frequently to make this option viable. As such, is there a way to remove the option or tie it into a different opt-in, opt-out form?

    GOOGLE SEARCH
    Is there a way to embed custom Google search scripts in place of the existing search (or is the existing feature through Google already)?

    I like the custom Google searches and want to keep the adsense option on search results pages.

    Thanks,
    Drew

    Yes, there is a spot on the WP-Vybe Setting page to enter form code for an alternate email provider.

    >>>>> Is there a way to embed custom Google search scripts in place of the existing search (or is the existing feature through Google already)? I like the custom Google searches and want to keep the adsense option on search results pages.

    The existing search is basic WordPress search functionality. You could replace that with Google search. You’d have to get the code from here: http://www.google.com/coop/cse/

    Best – Michael

  8. Darrell says:

    Anyone else having any problems with the popularity plugin? I disabled all of my other plugs and am still getting a “this plug in caused a fatal error” when I try to activate the popularity plug…..? I have re-uploaded the plug 3x and still get an error.

  9. Darrell says:

    Oh good grief, I wish I could see the forest for the trees lol. Thanks for the info Michael :)

  10. Johnny says:

    Michael – We purchased the magazine theme back in January for the launch of our site. We loved it! We were beginning to consider a “face lift,” when we received your e-mail announcing vybe. It was right on time for us!

    We have installed it this afternoon and have a question. Why aren’t the RSS images showing up? http://www.teachmetotalk.com

    Thanks again!

  11. Johnny says:

    Michael – How did you get the 2nd one down Recent Comments to display the opening lines of their comments? We were very please with this with the magazine theme and wish to have it in our vybe theme as well. Thanks again!

  12. Michael Pollock says:

    Hey Johnny:

    If you want to add the WP-Mag style recent comments to the sidebar, open your Sidebar template, and find these lines:

    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar - Right') ) : ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Just AFTER that, add the following:

    <li id="recent-comments">
        <div class="widgettitle">Recent Comments</div>
        <?php $comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT comment_author, comment_author_url, comment_ID, comment_post_ID, comment_content, comment_author_email, comment_date FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 5") ?>
        <ul>
            <?php if ( $comments ) : foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
            <li class="clearfix">
                <?php if (function_exists('get_avatar')) { ?>
                <?php
                $gravsize = 36;
                echo get_avatar($comment,$size="$gravsize");
                ?>
                <?php } else { ?>
                <?php if ( !empty( $comment->comment_author_email ) ) {
                $gravsize = 36;
                $md5 = md5( $comment->comment_author_email );
                echo "<img class='avatar' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=$md5&amp;size=$gravsize' alt='' />"; } ?>
                <?php } ?>
                <?php comment_excerpt() ?><br />
                <strong><?php comment_author_link() ?> | <?php comment_date('jMy'); ?> | <a class="more-link" href="<?php echo get_permalink($comment- rel="nofollow">comment_post_ID); ?>#comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">More</a></strong>
            </li>
    <?php endforeach; endif; ?>
        </ul>
    </li>

  13. Johnny says:

    Thanks that took care of both of them for me.

    How did you get the print command/icon in each post header?

    We’re getting a lot of very positive feedback on how good this theme looks at our site. Thanks again!

  14. Johnny, it’s in Step 5 of the installaton instructions above along with two other cool plugins.

  15. Damien says:

    Michael,

    The WP_Vybe Theme really looks great. What I like is that it allows quick change of theme colour, inserting Logo & Banner, built-in post thumbnails and many more. Really cool features.

    The support and help that you have provided for my site (WP Glory) has been excellent. Appreciated!

    Thank you for the continue improvements on the WP Themes.

    I’m looking forwards to get the WP_Vybe Theme.

    Cheers,
    Damien

  16. john says:

    How do I setup the “subscribe” so that subscribers get an e-mail telling them my site has new content?

  17. Michael Pollock says:

    Hi John:

    Go to the Subscription Form Settings on the Vybe Theme Settings page. If you have a Feedburner account, enter the info in the box provided. If using an alternate email list provider, you’ll need to enter the subscription form code in the other box provided.

  18. Harold says:

    Michael,
    Thanks for your support on this great theme.
    I am having a bit of a snafu…the “Recent Articles” section under the featured section is pulling articles from months and even last year, instead of my most recent “featured” posts.

    Any clue on why that is happening, or what the fix is ?

    By the way, thanks for leaving the scrolling feature option…it was one of the things I love most about your themes. I about jumped for joy when I saw the code in the files, I knew that you wouldn’t let us down.

  19. I purchased WP-Vybe and am very happy, I’m curious though if there is a way to change the “Featured” articles to “Most Recent Articles” and then rename the “recent articles” title to something like just “articles.”

    In a related question, is there a way to cycle the most recent posts into the “featured” row and have them automatically move out when new articles bump them out. Currently, it looks like only those articles categorized as “featured” will appear and they would have to be manually recategorized. It would be great if this could be automated.

    Thanks,
    Drew

  20. Clive says:

    Hi I’ve just noticed the my most recent posts appear on the Home page in reverse order.

    I have last 6 posts showing ( I use the code to just show snippets if I post a 7th it will appear on page 2 under ‘older entries’.

    In my case this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as I want to promote these first posts more than others but would still like to know how to resolve the issue.

    It doesn’t happen on pages showing, for example, a list of posts in a category they seem to appear in date order i.e. newest first.

    You can see what I mean here: http://thebutlerbureau.com

    Thanks

  21. Clive says:

    Another quickie – is it possible to put a hyper link in the ‘About the author’ bios?

    Ta

  22. As an added follow-up question, I’ve noticed that any articles listed as “featured” won’t appear in the “recent articles” section. do authors have to manually de-select the “featured” category? If so, that’s going to be a serious drag and it seems like such an obvious thing I’m probably missing something here so thanks in advance for the help.

    Also, another bug I’ve noticed is that any side bar headers that have text which goes over one line spill over the first line of the material directly below. Is there a way to fix this?

    Otherwise, everything seems to be working well and the theme looks great! Thanks in advance for answering those questions.

    >>>>> I am having a bit of a snafu…the “Recent Articles” section under the featured section is pulling articles from months and even last year, instead of my most recent “featured” posts. Any clue on why that is happening, or what the fix is?

    Yes, there’s a valid reason why that’s happening … I excluded featured posts from the Recent Articles list.

    Probably wasn’t the best thing to do (although it made sense to me at the time), but here’s the fix:

    Open your Main Index Template and find this code:

    <?php
    $id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT term_ID FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE slug='featured'");
    $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts("cat=-' .$id. '&paged=$page"); ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Change to this:

    <?php
    $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts("paged=$page");
    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    ?>

  24. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> I purchased WP-Vybe and am very happy, I’m curious though if there is a way to change the “Featured” articles to “Most Recent Articles” and then rename the “recent articles” title to something like just “articles.”

    That can be done. Here’s how …

    1. Click the Design tab then Theme Editor.

    2. On the right side of the page, click the features.php file to open it in the Theme Editor.

    3. Scroll down and find this line:
    <li class="feat-head"><?php _e("Featured Articles"); ?></li>

    4. Then just change Featured Articles to whatever you like.

    5. Next, open your Main Index Template and find this code:

    <h2 class="home-list"><a title="<?php _e("Main Site RSS Feed"); ? rel="nofollow">" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/FeedIcon-16.gif" alt="<?php _e("RSS"); ?>" title="Main Site RSS Feed" style="float:right;margin: 4px 0 0 0;" /></a><?php _e("Recent Articles"); ?></h2>

    6. Near the end of all that code, just change the Recent Articles to whatever you like.

    >>>> In a related question, is there a way to cycle the most recent posts into the “featured” row and have them automatically move out when new articles bump them out. Currently, it looks like only those articles categorized as “featured” will appear and they would have to be manually recategorized. It would be great if this could be automated.

    I assume you mean you want the older featured articles to just show up under the recent articles section … if so, see this comment (directly above this one).

  25. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> As an added follow-up question, I’ve noticed that any articles listed as “featured” won’t appear in the “recent articles” section. do authors have to manually de-select the “featured” category? If so, that’s going to be a serious drag and it seems like such an obvious thing I’m probably missing something here so thanks in advance for the help.

    I think I already answered this … if not see this comment.

    >>>>> Also, another bug I’ve noticed is that any side bar headers that have text which goes over one line spill over the first line of the material directly below. Is there a way to fix this?

    it’s not really a bug … it was designed that way to maintain consistency in the appearance.

    not to be flip, but the best thing to do is simply use shorter titles for your sidebar headers.

  26. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> Another quickie – is it possible to put a hyper link in the ‘About the author’ bios?

    unfortunately it’s not. wordpress strips all HTML from the author bio.

    I stand corrected … simply place the link in the Biographical Info box found on your WordPress Profile page … like so:

    <a href="http://www.mylink.com" rel="nofollow">Text that is linked</a>

  27. Harold says:

    Michael Thanks for the Recent Articles fix. It kept me up all night . Once again a Bad Assed theme, and great support.

    Clive, Are you talking about the standard Author bio that is in the wordpress admin ?
    The one that shows up at the bottom or top of a post ?

    I actually have hyperlinks in my “About the Author” bio. I have links to my email, My Space Page, and Stores.

    Just use the regular code:
    Link

    It works on all of my blogs

  28. Another Question: first, I think the about the author bio info that automatically appears is fantastic. However, a few of my blogs feature multiple authors and to date, we’ve been having them post a head shot at the top of their respective articles.

    Is it possible to set up the template so that in addition to the author bio that appears at the bottom of the article, it can also insert the headshot (or even gravatar) at the very top of each article an author posts? Keeping as much continuity between the old design and the new design is desired so thank you very much in advance for putting some thought into this one.

  29. Jay says:

    Hey Michael, I just purchases the WP-Vybe. I’m a newbie, but a DIY’er all the way.

    I’m having a problem modifying the color scheme of the right sidebar. I can change all other areas of the theme but the right navigation sidebar will only display the color selections from the pulldown menu in basic site settings.

    Is there something I’m missing here?

  30. Clive says:

    By default clicking on the blogs logo will take you back to the home page – is it possible to change the destination url? For example if I wanted to feature a large ad within the logo and the click to go to that advertisers page.

    Thanks

  31. Clive says:

    Sorry about the double post above, I’d forgotten I’d already asked.

    At the risk of monopolizing this Comments section here’s another…

    If I promise to keep my Featured Posts titles to one line is their NO way to up the ante of featured posts so that 10 posts might be shown ( it’s just that I hate seeing empty space). See below to see what I mean…

    http://thebutlerbureau.com

    Thanks (as usual)
    Clive

    >>>>> By default clicking on the blogs logo will take you back to the home page – is it possible to change the destination url? For example if I wanted to feature a large ad within the logo and the click to go to that advertisers page.

    Hey Clive:

    Just open the Header template and find this code:

    <?php if ( $wp_vybe_site_title_option == 'Image/Logo-Type Title' ) { ?>
    <div id="logo" onclick="location.href='<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>';"
    style="cursor: pointer;"></div>

    Change to:

    <?php if ( $wp_vybe_site_title_option == 'Image/Logo-Type Title' ) { ?>
    <div id="logo" onclick="location.href='http://www.myurl.com';"
    style="cursor: pointer;"></div>

    obviously, you’d want to change the URL.

  33. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> If I promise to keep my Featured Posts titles to one line is their NO way to up the ante of featured posts so that 10 posts might be shown ( it’s just that I hate seeing empty space).

    Yes, that can be done. You’ll have to open the Theme Functions file (functions.php) …

    Scroll down about 1/5th of the way and find this code:

    array(    "name" => "How Many Featured Articles",
            "id" => $shortname."_features_number",
            "type" => "select",
            "std" => "5",
            "options" => array("5", "6", "4", "3", "2", "1"),
            "help" => "Due to space limitations, 6 is the maximum number of Featured articles that can be displayed in the Featured Articles section."),

    Change to:

    array(    "name" => "How Many Featured Articles",
            "id" => $shortname."_features_number",
            "type" => "select",
            "std" => "5",
            "options" => array("5", "10", "9", "8", "7", "6", "4", "3", "2", "1"),
            "help" => "Due to space limitations, 6 is the maximum number of Featured articles that can be displayed in the Featured Articles section."),

    Then just make the change on your WP-Vybe Theme Settings Page.

  34. Michael Pollock says:

    Sure. Just open the Single Post template and add this code:

    <?php // this is the author photo pulled from gravatar.com
    if (function_exists('get_avatar')) {
    $gravsize = $wp_vybe_grav_size;
    $author_email = get_the_author_email();
    echo get_avatar($author_email,$size="$gravsize");
    } else {
    //alternate gravatar code for < 2.5
    $gravsize = $wp_vybe_grav_size;
    $md5 = md5( $email=get_the_author_email() );
    echo "<img class='avatar' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=$md5&amp;size=$gravsize' alt='' />";
    } ?>

    Place it just after this line:
    <div class="entry clearfix">

  35. I’ve got a problem. The content of one of my posts won’t show up. It shows in the featured articles sections, but when I click on the article the content disappears. Any idea how to fix this? My first Featured article “Five Lies Fed Us by Organic Farms” is the one that loses text.

  36. Thanks for all the great support Michael, those answers helped tremendously!

    Best,
    Drew

  37. As long as we’re at it, is there a way to suppress “Featured” from showing as a subject heading in the menu bar?

  38. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> As long as we’re at it, is there a way to suppress “Featured” from showing as a subject heading in the menu bar?

    Hi Joanne:

    To do that:

    1. Open your Header template and find this line near the bottom:

    <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>

    2. Change to:

    <?php wp_list_categories('exclude=X&title_li='); ?>

    X = the category ID of the category you want to exclude.

    To find the category ID …

    There was a time when the category IDs were listed right next to the category. For some reason the WP development team changed that. So now, here’s how to find the category ID.

    In your WP control panel, click Manage >> Categories.

    Place your cursor over the category link and look in the bottom left corner of your browser. you should see a link appear in the browser status bar (If you don’t use the status bar, just click on the category, and the link will appear in the browser Address bar at the top).

    it will look like this:
    http://mysite.com/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=22

    The ID in the above example is 22.

  39. D Hewson says:

    Just bought WPVybe and it looks very promising. Just two questions – I get the fatal error on Popularity Contest too and the person who fixed it above didn’t say how. Any clues please? Also is there some way to exclude categories from the category navigation bar at all?

  40. Michael Pollock says:

    >>>>> Also is there some way to exclude categories from the category navigation bar at all?

    Hi David:

    Thanks for the purchase. To remove categories from the category navigation bar:

    1. Open your Header template and find this line near the bottom:

    <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>

    2. Change to:

    <?php wp_list_categories('exclude=X,Y,Z&title_li='); ?>

    X,Y,Z = the category IDs of the categories you want to exclude.

    To find the category ID …

    There was a time when the category IDs were listed right next to the category. For some reason the WP development team changed that. So now, here’s how to find the category ID.

    In your WP control panel, click Manage >> Categories.

    Place your cursor over the category link and look in the bottom left corner of your browser. you should see a link appear in the browser status bar (If you don’t use the status bar, just click on the category, and the link will appear in the browser Address bar at the top).

    it will look like this:
    http://mysite.com/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=22

    The ID in the above example is 22.

  41. Hi, Michael. I’ve got another weird problem on this post. Whereever I’ve inserted a graphic to align right, there’s a small indent to the paragraph. This hasn’t happened before, and I can’t figure out what the problem is. (You still have an active admin account.)

    Hi Joanne:

    Try adding this to the bottom of your Stylesheet, and see if it solves the problem:

    .wp-caption {
      margin: 0;
      }

    .wp-caption .alignleft {
      margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
      }

    .wp-caption .alignright {
      margin: 0 0 10px 10px;
      }

    Thank you Michael for such a wonderful theme.

    The above posts have been extremly helpful.

    I managed to set my ome page up with 10 Featured Posts and the older ones spilling over on to ‘recent articles’. It was working fine.

    But now instead of the older post excerpts appearing under ‘recent articles’ there is a link (called ‘other entries’) to them.

    Hi everyone, I have a question about making a link page (blogroll in a page).

    I have modified the Site Map page and it’s loading the blogroll just fine but I cannot exclude any link cats. It just displays everything.



  45. Martin says:

    Edit: I worked it out I was excluded the blogroll link not category…

    Silly me.

    Michael,
    I was looking at the client gallery and noticed that one of them had the auto-rotating featured articles mentioned above. Did you add that function? I’d like to activate it but can’t seem to find out where.
    Also, I have a gravatar that works when I post to other sites but it won’t work on mine. Is there a wordpress avatar plugin you recommend?

    Hi cheri,

    You should not need a plugin for Gravatars in the latest version of WordPress. The Gravatars feature is now built into WordPress.

    Just check the following:
    Go to the WP admin panel of your site and click settings, then go to the “Discussion” settings area and scroll down to “Avatars” and make sure Show Avatars is enabled.

    I hope that helps.

    Martin and Cher:

    There is no plugin that is necessary. The only thing that’s necessary is that the email address in your User Profile has to exactly match the email address that you use in your Gravatar account.

    Hi Michael – Thanks for a great theme. I have searched and demoed them all. This one is the best premium theme on the market. One of the things I look for when choosing a premium theme is that it has to work right out of the box without coded editing. WP-Vybe is such a theme with its extensive management option in the backend. Thanks again.

    Suggestions: In your next update, would it be possible to include “footer sidebars widgets”. See example here hxxp://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/ if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the site you will see the various columns starting from the archive section. My be you can include widget sidebars footer “left, center and right”

    Is there a way I can have this effect at the bottom of wp-vybe with code editing?

    Thanks again.
    Digerati
