Which forum to use re: Church theme

[lakehills101]

Hi ~ I purchased the church theme from StudioPress and have been using it for about 3 years. Due to some changes I need some support, but can't find which Forum I'm supposed to use. Can someone point me?

Thank you!

Under Appearance / Church Theme options, I'm trying to change my featured blog posts. Specifically, I'm trying to change Homepage Featured Bottom to a different category, and perhaps alter the thumbnail dimensions so that they will look right.

Whenever I select a new category from the pull-down menu and hit "Save Settings," the page simply resorts back to the original category.

Thanks,
~ Mike

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home3/lakehill/public_html/wp-content/themes/church/tools/theme-options.php on line 11

Okay - I botched something. I was editing the theme-options.php file in the onboard editor. The fix suggested by another church theme user did not work, so I tried the original suggestion by "turkey bucket." Now I can't find what I messed up. I have even reloaded the original theme-options.php which I backed up - nothing.

Okay - fixed the Parse error - still can't get any joy on the original problem... I'll try one more time.

Okay. I've tried:

1.

$settings = 'theme_mods_'.get_current_theme(); // do not change!

changed to...

$settings = 'theme_mods_church' // do not change!

...no joy.

2.

$settings = 'theme_mods_'.get_current_theme(); // do not change!

changed to...

$settings = 'theme_mods_church_40'; // do not change!

...no joy.

[NicktheGeek]

It should be

PHP Code:

$settings = 'theme_mods_church' // do not change! 


Your theme directory is "church" not "church_40"

What happened when you changed it to theme_mods_church?

[lakehills101]

No change. I even tried adding the semicolon ";" after 'theme_mods_church'.

Tried it both ways:

$settings = 'theme_mods_church' // do not change!

and...

$settings = 'theme_mods_church'; // do not change!


No change, no difference. Cleaned out cache and cookies, rebooted browser, refreshed pages numerous times, disabled plugins, etc.

Nick, I got the categories to change! I had to also edit the tools/theme-options.php.

Now if you could help me with one last issue I would greatly appreciate it! Is there a way to get my thumbnails to reflect the same relative aspect ratio as the pics in my blog posts? I use a shrunken HD ratio.

I had assumed that if I could get the previous problem fixed that I could simply change the thumb dimensions in the Church Theme Options page, but the thumbs displayed on the Homepage don't change.

Thanks,

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[NicktheGeek]

looks liek there should be some theme options for the featured bottom height and width.

[lakehills101]

All is working now. Thanks for your help, Nick!

[NicktheGeek]

You're welcome.

Since this is resolved I'm going to close this thread.
