Aiden from Aidenchong.com was kind enough to create a video screenshot to explain a problem about the overlapped post title and overlapped comments. You can see the details here
I’ll try to fix that issue in the next revision.
I have three questions for you regarding this template (which I currently use)
1. How do I enable the rss button so people can sign up for my blog?
2. Is it possible to add a newsletter or email sign up box on the right side? If so, how do I do that?
3. How do I upgrade to the latest version of this template?
Thanks for your help.
Pat,
1) The rss button is already enabled and you can find it at the top of the left sidebar.
2) You can subscribe to Feedburner which offers email subscription.
3) Just upload the new version files and replace with the old one.
Brian,
Thank you for your help. I just need to clarify your responses.
1. I have clicked on the RSS button and it shows everything as a runon kind of thing. In other words, it does not provide an opportunity for someone to add their email to the site. Is that how it is supposed to work?
2. How does Feedburner work with that RSS button at the top?
Thanks again for your help.
Pat,
1) Yes. That is how the RSS link work. If you want to use email subcription, you can use Feedburner.
2) When you subscribe to Feedburner, you’ll get a link that allows your users to receive your new posts via email.
To change the link of the RSS button to the Feedburner link, follow this simple step:
Open header.php
Find this code
< ?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>
and replace with your feedburner link. The feedburner link has this format:
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=xxxxxxx&loc=en_US
Brian,
Thanks for your comment. I would post some more video screen shoot for the theme, commenting it. But I won’t be doing it that soon, I need to play around with the video screen shoot program before I can really do that.
Anyway, thanks for the link
Hi Brian,
I too am using the Photo Frame theme and really like it so far although I am running into a compatibility issue with the latest browsers from IE, Opera and Safari. The theme renders incorrectly whereas in Firefox 3 and Flock it renders as it should.
I checked for the tag issue as described above but it’s not present.
I’m using version 1.02 of the Photo Frame theme and version 2.6.3 in Wordpress.
Would an upgrade to the latest version take care of this and if so, what’s involved in the upgrade? A simple over-write of the files maybe?
Thanks!
Hi again Brian,
Seeing as I had some time on my hands, I went ahead and downloaded the latest version and tried it in the various browsers again with the same results. The theme rendering is skewed in IE, Safari and Opera with Firefox and Flock both rendering it just fine.
Guess I’ll be awaiting your suggestions.
Hi ScottW, please check you text widget “Puck”, where you miss the close tag </table>, just add it after </td></tr> and it should solve the problem.
Ugh, it’s always the little details isn’t it Brian? Thanks! I missed that one by a mile.
You do good work and go way beyond the call in helping people with trouble-shooting your themes. (big round of applause) 8^)
Is there any way to get the theme displayed on the login page as well?
Just wondering… can the sidebar be switched to the right easily? Thanks.
JackH, you can use this plugin to change the theme for the login page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Admin_Themes
Changing the sidebar to the right involves drastic coding change and I am sorry that I can’t do it at the moment.
Thanks Brian. I am do not understand CSS and how it works. Is it possible to tell me the exact code that I need to create in order to create a login page using the Photo Frame theme? Thanks a lot.
JackH, I found that plugin but have not studied how to make it work. Since this is not a functionality problem and I am extremely busy with releasing new themes, I’d have to pass this for now.
I have just installed WordPress version 2.2.2 and PhotoFrame template version 1.06, however I keep getting errors that it can’t find various functions, such as:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_tag() in …/photoframe/index.php on line 25
and
Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_title_attribute() in …/photoframe/page.php on line 9
I’ve tried downloading other templates from templatelite (Maple Leaf 1.04 and Green Light 1.05) and those template produce the same errors. However, if I use the WordPress Default or Classic templates, they work fine without errors.
Am I missing a file which contain these functions? If so, where do I get that file? I would like so much to use this template — it’s beautiful!
Hi!
I just started using your theme – and I love the flexibility with the photos on the top. However, in a previous post where I had small photos inserted into a table, they come up as just teeny-tiny pictures now. I’m using Flickr for my pictures. They looked fine on the previous default WP template. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Sorry – I didn’t read all the instructions. I am using the latest version of this theme (downloaded today, 11/29), and WP 2.6 (also upgraded today). Thanks!
Kathy, our themes may not work in Wordpress version that is lower than 2.3. It should work fine after you upgrade it to higher Wordpress version.
Stephanie, your Flickr images look fine to me on the home page. Can you send me the URL where the flickr images are having the problem?
Thanks for your response Brian! I initially installed WordPress from my ISP, so I didn’t realize they didn’t have the most up-to-date version of WordPress to install. I’ve now upgraded to version 2.6.5, and now the PhotoFrame template works like a charm! I love it!! Thanks so much for your help!
I’m getting this template working for a site I’m converting from HTML to Wordpress. Is there supposed to be a “Home” button at the top, where the links for pages appear? Is it possible to add this without tearing apart the PHP and CSS code?
Steven, to add a “Home” link, follow this step:
edit header.php, find
<ul><?php echo wp_list_pages(‘echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’); ?></ul>
change to
<ul><li><a href="http://yourhome.com">Home</a></li><?php echo wp_list_pages(‘echo=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’); ?></ul>
Thanks!
I’m looking forward to image rotation in all three photo frames — any idea on an ETA for 1.07? Great theme, thanks!
Brian, Steve,
Perhaps this code is better, since it uses the values set by the administrator of the site in the dashboard:
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php _e('Home'); ?></a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>

I just installed this theme and love it! All seems to be working well for me. I’ve also used your maple leaf theme. You really do a terrific job with the themes. Thanks for sharing them!
Thanks for the nice theme I use it for my 3d Anaglyph Photography weblog
Hello I would like to use this template to my blog but I do not know how to install
I am using blogger.
Some body can help me please?
This theme is stunning! One of the best I’ve found for wordpress. I’ve been trying to create drop-down menus (which I’m thrilled are on your to-do list) and have had no success. Even using the WP Multi-level Navigation plug-in fails due to the dropdown subpages appearing under the container. I don’t know enough css to fix.
Can I get informed when the next version is released?
Thanks greatly for your sharing.
Hi, the next version will be released soon
Hi again, I tried using the “add a link to the menu” strategy listed above, to add an additional link after the menu, and it won’t appear (even though it is oddly there when I look at the source code). Very odd. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
Hi, me again.
When I conduct a search, I am given a list of posts. They are shorter forms of the full posts (which is fine). However, the links within those posts are not activated. Is this a wordpress issue or template specific? If it is the template, can I change this easily?
Thanks,
Keith
Hi,
This is an issue pertaining to Wordpress platform.
There appears not to be any ability to leave comments for ‘pages’, even though ‘enable comments’ is ticked in the edit page screen.
~Andrew~
Andrew, the following comments will help you get the page comment set up:

Hello. And Bye.
You rock. World needs more souls like you.
Hi,
How would I use this theme for my google blog?..Can you help me out please.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi
Great themes, but I miss the opportunity of localization.
There are problems with Firefox… the post title cannot be clicked… and the post page will not display properly, the post sometimes shown below the sidebar
By the way, I noticed all your design does not have a link to Home Page. Or is there anyway the homepage can be displayed that I am not aware of?
Overall, great theme.
Hi, please confirm you are using the latest theme version. The current version is 1.10. If the post is shown below the sidebar, you should check to see if you have incomplete div block in your sidebar.
I can’t do further checking since you didn’t provide the url.
Actually all my themes have got home page link in the header (either the blogger title or the whole header).
Hi Brian,
First of all congratulations for this theme is awesome.
I tried to move the side bar but seems that this didn’t moved completely, because I still see a brown vertical line, this is more easy to see in every refreshment of my blog, this error makes “ugly” my blog , I tried severeal times to fixed bout I don’t know how, could you please help me?
in advance thanx a lot!
Hi Elsa, you need to modify container_topbg.jpg, bg_repeat.jpg and footer_bg.jpg to clear the vertical line.
Thanks for the beautiful theme. My question is, my rss feed is not working. What may be the reason?
Can you show me your URL?
Thanks for the reply, My url is like following
http://www.xyz.com/?feed=rss2
Can you show me the URL in which you install the theme? I still don’t understand what you mean.
Maybe you can try something like http://ww.xyz.com/feed/
