  2. hello! i am using this theme for a new site i’m creating, and i wondered what the ideal size and dimensions are for a header image. i uploaded a photo of mine and it’s ridiculously huge. or does it not matter, and the space will fit whatever size photo is uploaded? thanks!

    (ps – hope this isn’t confusing, because i am rather illiterate with web-stuffz.)

    • Hi dawn,

      thanks for using Lenora. :)

      The header image should have a width of 940px, then it fits perfectly. You can choose your own height as you like, I would prefer about 150 to 240 px if you want a small header image.

      If the image is wider than 940px the theme scales it down proportionally to a width of 940px. But I would suggest to avoid larger images because the quality is not so fine and the image takes unnecessarily long to get loaded.

      Cheers!

  3. Marion,

    First off, we love the theme and have been using it on our new blog. We don’t have our blog linked to the root address and seem to be getting an error when we try to access our feed. When I go to the address http://www.minnesotaapparel.com/mn-blog/feed/, I get the error

    This page contains the following errors:

    error on line 12 at column 57: Entity ‘laquo’ not defined

    which I am guessing we are getting since our blog is not in the root folder. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance for the help!

    • Hi Joe,

      thanks for using Lenora. :)

      I’ve found the problem: There is a « character in the title of the page and /feed doesn’t like this. I will fix this within the next revision, but this will take some time. Here are the changes if you don’t want to wait:

      header.php

      line 17
      old: < ?php wp_title('«', true, 'right'); ?>
      new: < ?php wp_title('|', true, 'left'); ?>

      functions.php

      line 62
      old: $filtered_title = $site_name ." &laquo ". $title;
      new: $filtered_title = $site_name ." ". $title;

      to avoid that your blog title is showing up twice in the feed, add the following lines to functions.php
      function lenora_custom_blogname_rss($val, $show) {
      if( 'name' == $show )
      $out = 'Feed: ';
      else
      $out = $val;
      return $out;
      }
      add_filter('bloginfo_rss','lenora_custom_blogname_rss', 10, 2);

      Cheers!

  5. Marion,

    This template worked out great for our website! Thanks so much! Only question, is there a way to remove the header image from all of the subpages? I’m new to wordpress, so if there is a really easy way to do that– that would be great!

  6. Last question, I promise haha– Is there anyway to make the pages’ context fill up the entire page, getting rid of the extra space on the right side?

  7. Your designs are great! I am trying to use Lenora, which you mention is a two-column design, but it only shows up as a one-column format on my blog. Am I doing something wrong?

    • Hi Melody,
      thank you! :)
      Lenora has a main column for the content and a second one for the widgets. Perhaps you havn’t chosen any widget? Marion

  8. First of all, beautiful theme!

    I had a weird problem when my friends were checking out my website yesterday. They were browsing with iPhone 5 (Safari mobile, Chrome mobile) and Xperia (Opera mobile), and apparently the site does not ever stop loading. The loading never stops on iPhone 5 both browsers, while on Opera it keeps loading the same front page again and again when you scroll down infinitely.

    Wonder if you would know why? Thank you so much!

    • Hi Vic,

      thanks for using Lenora!
      I’ve not ever heard of this problem before. Perhaps some devices have a problem, because your whole website is within a frame.
      And maybe a plugin you installed makes this problem.

      Cheers,
      Marion

  9. I love the Lenora theme. It’s the only theme I really like. The only thing I wish I could change is for each post it would say comments instead of permalink.

    • Hi Michele,
      thank you! :)
      I’m not sure what you mean. Do you want to show the number of comments instead of permalink? Or anything else?
      Cheers,
      Marion

    • Hi Michele,

      you only have to change one line.

      Use this

      < ?php echo get_the_date(); ?> | < ?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : printf( get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); endif; ?> | #comment”>< ?php comments_number( 'no comments', 'one comment', '% comments' ); ?>

      instead of line 5 in content.php.

      I hope will help you! :)

      Cheers,
      Marion

    • Hi Michele,

      great! Now take a look at this line in the style.css-File:

      #content .entry-header h1, .entry-header h1 a, .entry-header h1 a:link, .entry-header h1 a:visited {
      color: #999999!important;
      ....
      }

      and change the color to any color you want! Here you’ll find some instructions for colors: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp

  12. Hi Marion! I modified the code has you suggested

    header.php

    line 17
    old:
    new:

    functions.php

    line 62
    old: $filtered_title = $site_name .” &laquo “. $title;
    new: $filtered_title = $site_name .” “. $title;

    [...]

    but now this line of code is visible in homepage

  13. Hi, I uploaded a custom logo but it didn’t work very well so I wanted to remove it, is there a simple way to make it return to the original layout with the site title and tagline at the top?
    Thanks

  14. I love this theme. However, there seems to be a problem when it loads in my safari app on my iphone. The browsers seems to crop the website and it cuts off pictures and words. It doesn’t let zoom our or scroll over to the side. Any ideas why this is happening? Or how to fix it so the full site is in view – or at least the posts are?

    Thank you in advance!!! :)

    • Hi Andrea,
      thanks for using Lenora! :)
      I’m sorry, Lenora is still not responsive. At the moment I don’t know what’s happening but I will have a look at this when I work at the next version!
      BR,
      Marion
