Thanks for the offer Flavio I ended up contacting someone I found on this thread who has it working and he told me how to solve the problem.

In the home.php you have the following code:

……

By default this is repeated 6 times up to category=6

I had created a few categories that weren’t being used so I guess I had more than 6 so I copied everything between ……

Pasted below the last category and changed the number to category=7 (there are 2 places where you need to change the number. I repeated this for for category=8 category=9 etc.

Thanks to Sven at creative crossing for taking the time to explain this to me.

@Andy, I wasn’t the one who designed the theme, but I’d be happy to take a look at it.

Well seems like there is no help on this thread.

Pity… nice theme can’t understand why it doesn’t work.

Hi, trying to make a site using your amazing theme, but like some people above I seem to be having problems with categories. If you look at my site http://www.friendsrate.com you can see I have 3 categories that work and I added a few more that aren’t showing. (you can see the tag books in the tag cloud leads you to the category books which doesn’t show in the main page)

Any ideas?

It should work on IE8 but, as with everything related to Microsoft, who can really tell what works and what doesn’t? I am reasonably certain that it works fine under IE9, which should mean that your friends will all see things correctly once Microsoft forces one of it’s never ending fixes and updates at them.

Hey all!

Fantastic theme… I love it!

However, I just noticed my site ( Oxstones.com ) displays poorly on IE8. It’s perfect on Firefox.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? What could I be doing wrong?

The header is very small on IE8, a small arrow appears for some reason, and on some IE8 installs of my friends… the top row of content and the pages link list overlaps the top categories.

Thanks for the great theme and help!
Adam

This is awesome!

But how did you setup the second row of categories? i.e. on http://www.creative-crossing.com/

I’m trying to modify home.php.

It seems I can only do 5 categories per row, with a sidebar. That’s ok.

I want 2 rows with 5 categories (columns).

I appreciate the help!

Hi!
Love the theme, and I’ve implemented it on my site!

But I jsut came across a problem. I’m creating test categories with test posts, so see how the my page will look like when all the categories are there on the home page with latest posts under them. I had only 2 categories for now. What happened was that I created the 3rd category, and put a post in that, and it appeard on the main home page. But when I created the 4th and the 5th, nothing appeared. I named those categories FEATURED and DEVELOPMENT, and even renamed them to see if it was the name. I deleted them and created them again, this time hoping it will fix it…but still the same. any suggestions?

I’ve always thought the Upstart Blogger themes were beautiful and easy to customise. I don’t do much blogging anymore but I’m looking forward to keeping up with the new stuff!

Hello, you are asked to tell if someone will use this template on his blog.
I am not a webmaster only fan who has decided to take his Russian translation of WordPress templates.
In short, my blog was created based on the Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
Excellent and very plastic theme, thank you.

This theme definitely needs some serious modernization. I think I might be just the gal to do that job. ^_^

Hi,
Thanks so much for your theme.
Is it possible to use only tags, and not have any categories at all?

thanks

Just want to say that I love this futurosity design. I think I found an older one version but it was the ‘minimal look’ I was looking for. I chopped it down a bit to look less like a blog and more like a webpage. I am going to fill the white space below the title with my logo once I have it finished. But for now, it look quite cool regardless.

I am not a programmer but have been making my own websites since about 2000. This theme is quite easy to manipulate- with a lot of trial and error (This only took me a day to finish. I had all the text/images from my last WP theme.)

I used the Voluptua theme before I switched to this one. Something about this theme makes me love it.

Keep up the good work!

Ooh, if anyone knows how to get the theme to display comment avatars, I’d be much obliged :)

Can anybody tell me how to make additional sidebars in this theme? Would be very helpful, thanks!

Wonderful theme…however, I think it needs to be made more clear how to set up the categories. If it wasn’t for one of the posts above, I would never have figured out to grab the id number from the URL after creating a category. I don’t think very many people would figure that out. Love the design though, and thanks again.

Hey, I have your theme running up here: http://joid.bloomland.cn. Is not finished yet, I wanted to still change some of the font types so I can go away a bit from yours.
Thank very much for the great work!

hello Ashley
i hope you have happy time,

there is a little browser compatibility issue with the theme comment form in IE8

here is a quick fix just add it to the syle.css

on the bottom
.form-input{background:none;width:340px;height:23px; font-size:12px;}
.form-textarea{background:none;width:460px;height:340px; font-size:12px;}
.formcontainer{background:none;width:460px; font-size:12px;}
#author{background:none;width:340px;height:20px; font-size:12px;}
#email{background:none;width:340px;height:20px; font-size:12px;}
#url{background:none;width:340px;height:20px; font-size:12px;}
#comment{background:none;width:460px;height:200px; font-size:12px;}

i have some fun with the background so those pieces are there with reason
have happy time
