Hello, I love this theme. You've done a great job with it and I already implemented it on my development site. I hope soon it will be on production website and the first thing that stops me to put it live is that on Internet Explorer the title of the website and of the posts are not displayed( they dissapear). These are displayed only in compatibility view mode from IE 9 and the menu is displayed wrong afterwards and the shadow of the content dissapears. Do you know how I can fix it?
Have a look please on dev.fotoevents.ro
Thanks in advance,
Very clean theme. I will install it for my next website. Thanks for sharing it.
I get this piece of code on the homepage before the first post, how I can fix it? array('post','marketing','computer','name_of_the_post_type','name_of_the_post_type'))); */ ?>
Hi. How could I display images on the homepage ? Thank you in advance.
Great Theme. Just can't find the template option in the page attribute. It is very important for my website. How do i fix it?
Great Theme. Just can,t found template option in the page attributes. Its really important to my website. How could i fix it? Help! Any feedback would be appreciated.
Hi, great theme, thanks for making it freely accessible. I have two questions: 1) As MareAstra pointed out in her/his post, the version downloaded from this site is labeled '1.0' when installed in Wordpress. Is this just a labeling error or is it still the older version? 2) How can I integrate my Twitter account? According to one of your posts, this should be possible in version 1.1. Would be fantastic if you could help me out with these questions! Thanks in advance, Philipp
Nice Theme..!!!
Hi! I love this theme, but I have a few questions. When I download from the main page, the theme I get is still labeled Version 1.0. Where can I get version 1.1? Second, post pictures do not display on Blog view. I think this is because I cannot find version 1.1 for download. If not, how can I enable thumbnails? Thanks!
great theme, added built-in widget+shortcode, surely it will be "free premium" theme. maybe i try it later as for now i've been through a lot of things to customize current theme.
How to change font? I want some font that support åäö :)
Great theme, but there's one big problem: why isn't it displaying images? It does when you click on the single page, but not the homepage. Help! Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is anyone else having a problem with some characters not showing up in the headings? E.g. apostrophes, dashes I've switched to Google fonts to use the lobster font but having the same problem.. is there any way around this?
download this file http://cufon.shoqolate.com/js/cufon-yui.js?v=1.09i and upload it to js folder of the theme to replace the old file
Hello, how can I show hyperlinks in posts previews ? If you go to my blog http://blogcloud.com.br you'll see I have a link that isn't hyperlinked. Thanks.
I'm brazilian, in my language (pt-Br) we have word like this: uberlândia. Then I can't put these words in my post title because it goes as "uberlndia". How can I change the posts titles font? Thank you very much.
This is a great great theme. I love it. Thanks
i used this theme! and i wnat to show picture 300x 300 on first page.Please help me!
add this code to function.php : add_image_size( 'index-thumb', 150, 150, true ); and then in loop.php, in line 41 to 43 replace {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array ('class' => 'alignleft')); } else {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array ('class' => 'alignright')); } with : {the_post_thumbnail(array(300,300), array ('class' => 'alignleft')); } else {the_post_thumbnail(array(300,300), array ('class' => 'alignright')); }
Thanks for helping. I want to show pictures of the first page. But it still does not show. I have to click to another page, so it can be seen. I've heard about creating custom field, which I do not. Would you like my voice?

Is there already a Tumblr theme?! If not, could I/You make a copy for tumblr? BTW, great theme!
I dont think this theme already has Tumblr version, and you have our permission if you want to convert it to Tumblr,
Is this theme good for SEO ?
Hi elmoo, This theme is still standard, wordpress alone is good for SEO but you can optimize the SEO with some plugins, here: All in One SEO Pack or WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast.
Hey there, Thank you for your reply! I think I have to just remove the "picture generated font" ...
It is theme very beautiful and very nice work, thanks.
I was wondering why my flickr feed doesn't show the picture on the homepage. I don't want to have to click through for that. Is there a quick fix for this?
What font is used in the title? Thanks, Jamie
Pongsari theme is use cufon to generate font. For title we use Lobster font. Regards
hi!! i had downloaded this theme.. it looks great but have a problem with posting... could u help me out with it .... the problem is that what ever i post if i click the heading, it doesnot navigate to the whole post .. even if the post is long.. it shows “Continue reading →”. and when i click it it shows "not found".. please help me ....
was hoping an early reply from u .. but i guess i should change the theme itself thank u so much any ways ..
great themes... thanks... :)
First of all, it is a beautiful theme. But I have a problem. I'm using Lightbox to have produced images. When the lightbox is active, the widget Titel does not contain hidden but hang right in the picture. Is there a solution. To look at the problem, please click the following article on the first image. http://www.symmsblog.de/2011/05/die-toskana-deutschlands/ Thank you apologize in advance for the help.
open the theme style.css file inline 293, You see z-index: 1001 replace it with z-index: 89
Thanks for the fast replay. It works :D so i love this theme a little bit more ;)
Nice and Thnks :)
Thank you for your answer. It's working. I have one question more. What should I do, if I want to show all content of my posts on main page? I don't want hide it after "Continue reading →".
Open loop.php, in line 46, replace the_excerpt() with the_content() also delete these lines, if($counter == 0 || $counter == 1 || $counter == 4 || $counter == 5 || $counter == 8 || $counter == 9 || $counter == 12 || $counter == 13) {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array ('class' => 'alignleft')); } else {the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150), array ('class' => 'alignright')); } $counter++; they are in line 40 to 44
Thanks a lot Reza! Do you plan to add post format support - feature from new Wordpress? I think it would be a great idea. Now there is a lack of this kind of themes.
Thanks for the input, maybe in the theme next version I can add the feature
Another nice work! Please carry on!!
nice, i love the color and the background just downloaded it
Hello First of all I want to say, that Pongsari is amazing theme. But I just have to problems... 1. How to change font used in titles of posts to some standard font? Font used in Pongsari don't support polish letters special characters. 2. On IE 9 RC this fancy font completely disappeared... Look at this example: http://izbieractwo.pl/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pongsari-ie-fail.jpg So I back to my previous theme :/
open footer.php and delete these lines: <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/cufon-yui.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/lobster.cufonfonts.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.replace('#site-title, .entry-title, h3.widget-title, #comments-title, #footer #site-info, #reply-title', { hover: 'true' }); </script>
Upgrade the cufon-jui.js to latest version. Download here: Cufon Font Makes it IE9 Compatible!
your wonderful themes are appreciable
Cool theme, simple and clean. I do like the style and background. Marios
is there any chance that this theme will support language files in any short time? :-)
Great, very very nice work, thanks :)
