Connie says: Once again no localisation, only english texts…
When will you guys learn that there is more than one language in the world?
This is a big problem with all these free texts, but I understand to integrate Twitter is far more necessary ;=(

I know it is hard for us, maybe we consider to make google translate fitur for this web site.

Great free magazine theme. It looks really better than the premium wp themes.
Why you not design wp theme for premium one, so that you can sell make money! I think. -
We try to make better theme from day to day, until we look our skill that have enough to sell the premium theme.
Hi, thanks you give us motivation…Now, it’s time to make premium theme… but, we plan this site not for premium theme.
Do you have any suggestion?

Hi guys,
Thanks for releasing this theme into the GPL. I hope that if yall do make premium themes and charge for them that you’ll release them into the GPL eventually too.
I had just a couple of suggestions.
1. Make sure to include <?php wp_head(); ?> in the header.php file just before </head>. Some plugins break if that isn’t included.
2. When I view a category I see the excerpts for all the posts in that category, but no pictures. Is there a way that we could include a thumbnail of the first picture in each post excerpt of that category?
Keep up the good work,
Paul-
1. yeah, I should have added < ?php wp_head(); ?>
2. you can use catch_that_image() function. open the index.php to see how that function works and you can use for category page
-
-
is there a way that I can make the thumbnail that appears on the homepage from my featured posts clickable?
Thanks!-
Yes, that’s possible
but, that needs more hacks to the themeSorry, we can’t help you
We’ll add that feature to our next theme
Thanks for the input

Hello I am having trouble getting my “pages” on the header homepage? Categories show up..How do I add contact,etc…..The theme is great!
-
Hi Steven, for this theme we intentionally designed to use categories as navigation in the header. And to add the contact page, about page, etc…you can use pages widget so your pages will be appear in right sidebar.
But if you want to add the pages navigation in the header, you can do this steps:
- Open the file header.php in SkyLight folder
- Find this: < ?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&' ); ?>
and replace it with: < ?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&' ); ?>
In standard code editor, that code is in line 40Thanks, we glad you like the theme

Thanks for the page PHP ! I presume Light Folio is the same format? Looks really great too…
If you added an extensive admin page with several more options ( slider depth re-size!) sell it on themeforest. It is a clean and easy to use.
Regards Steven-
Thanks for your suggestion, we receive the same suggest from the other to try to sell on themeforest…We think and try to consider….
and Yes we can…we will make the premium theme with more feature and great design..then try to sell in the marketplace.Thanks again for all, for the support and comments.
btw, for Light Folio theme, thats true..the theme have same format with Sky Light theme.

After we see your site, emm…there is a conflict on your javascript files..exactly with the file prototype.js.
Our advice, you try to deactivate the plugin Lightbox 2.Kami harap ini bisa membantu, kami tunggu perkembangannya mas, makasih
-

Alhamdulillah, sama-sama mas
Em…kalo gambar di post yang slider, sengaja tidak kami ambil langsung dari artikelnya, soale terkadang tidak semua orang menggunakan gambar berukuran besar pada artikelnya. Jadi kami buatkan theme optionnya.Premium themenya, sedang under construction mas…InsyaAllah akhir bulan ini kami publish…tunggu ya mas? Tentu dengan fitur yang komplit dan lebih canggih
Salam kenal mas, dari Jogja

Nice work..Keep it up..Regard -
Thanks very much, I’ll be using your themes for my Wp sites, they are so much classier than the other free ones available
-
Thank you for the wonderful elite class theme. I am just suggesting the possibility to make the post slider compatible with the description so each future image will have its description. Can you please give me the code to add in my existing just a single page of my choice? I would love to see a paid service in this site, i think you really deserve it.

-
Hi there, i dont know what happen but, with 3 images link in slideshow field, your site should show 3 images, not one
maybe there’s conflict with other js file
deactive your plugins to check this
if still not work, may be theme download process or installation process is corrupted
best regards

Nick says: In the header, where the categories are displayed at the top, what would be the easiest way to replace the categories with “Links” and “Pages” from WordPress?
-
Hi there,
I’m facing the same problem as Steven and your answered to him was as below:
“Hi Steven, for this theme we intentionally designed to use categories as navigation in the header. And to add the contact page, about page, etc…you can use pages widget so your pages will be appear in right sidebar. But if you want to add the pages navigation in the header, you can do this steps:
- Open the file header.php in SkyLight folder
- Find this:
and replace it with:
In standard code editor, that code is in line 40″
–
I have done exactly as per this instruction, however the moment I change from categories to pages everything on the header becomes crowded. The buttons (home; contact us; products, etc) almost sit on top of each other. Any solution for this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
MickyThanks, we glad you like the theme
-
JsusGeek says: I too did exactly as above but my links seem to but up against each other in my menu bar on the top. I love the theme. Any ideas how to solve this?
-
-
That’s good. The theme is so much active. I’m searching this type of theme. Thanks to share it.
-
I’m facing the same issue, did as explained ./
What I could see so far (and worked) looked great! Thanks so far, keep the good work!
Greetings -
i think light folio theme will make new milestone in the category of themes.what a beautiful.this type of themes make natural effect.good things.and this is informative.i just understand its feature from this data.thank you
-
I really love the design of this template. Thanks for making it free. I may use it on my money site and I’ll be sure to leave the links in-tact.
-
This would be a great site to visit.In this site you can share your comments and some suggestion to improve more in this site. Keep up the good work!
-
JsusGeek says:
Found the cure to the crowded menu problem when switching from category to page.
In the style.css you need to scroll to “.wrapper-top-menu” (without “”)
Then, find where it says “ul.menu-nav li { float:left; padding: 0px 1px 0px 0px;”
And change the “0px 1px 0px 0px” to whatever fits your site. Mine is 0px 15px 0px 15px
Click “Update File” and there ya go! -

Hey these themes are great, I tried to use this type of style when building another site of mine, however there were some issues with my hosting company when trying to insert the template, I was probably doing it wrong but I will have another go sometime. This is so great because normal people (not web designers) can have great looking websites without much knowledge!
These are great keep up the good work! -
I truly agree with the “Sky Light Theme” which provide the user under open source GPL License, used in my project and found it very useful than any other Word Press Theme.And wants to know when was the next version coming out.
-
Hey there, i just started using this theme at my blog.
There is one problem that there is no rss icon in address bar.
And commentluv is also unable to fetch rss feed of the page! -
Svenborg says: Hello.. I really like this theme and it suits my needs….but…. I would like to have more pictures added to the slider….say 20 total. Is this possible? and can it be done through the editor while on the site??
