   Anyone who is having problems with this theme:

   1. Please make sure to download the MOST RECENT version above.
   2. Read through the “Help & Support” section on the theme page here: http://www.thrillingheroics.com/thrillingtheme
   3. If that doesn’t answer your questions, read through the comments here to see if your problem has been solved before posting a new one (most of them have).

   Sorry, but other than theme bugs, I don’t have time to answer people’s individual wants & customization requests here.

   Cody you sexy beast.

   I am going to steal your site, my life long dream has come true, now to mess with the code so much that nothing works anymore and I have to come crying back to you to fix it.

   Btw, I realise that I will probably be abused at the pub for this.

   Hey Cody,

   Thanks for sharing! Only trouble I’m having is trying to get category links on the header, below the main text. For instance, where you have the “Why listen to me?” link.

   Am I total newbie, or where can I change those?

   Thanks

   Hey Cody,

   Thanks for the tremendous work. Really love the design!

   Made my life a whole lot easier. Nobody can complain anymore that there isn’t a great, free theme available. You provided the tools for me, and some others , now it is up to me/us to produce great content and to give back.

   Keep up the good work!

    IMPORTANT UPDATE

    If you have already uploaded ThrillingTheme on your server and are having trouble with FeedBurner email subscriptions, I’ve released a 1.0.1 fix (thanks to Carl Nelson’s tip). I guess Google has updated the way they handle email subscriptions since they acquired FeedBurner.

    You can either re-download the updated 1.0.1 theme above and overwrite the folder on your server, or download this file http://www.thrillingheroics.com/download/feedburnerfix and just drop header.php, functions.php & sidebar.php in your /ThrillingTheme/ directory (click yes, overwrite files).

    This should make your FeedBurner email subscriptions work. If you want to activate email subbies, then paste your FeedBurner URI into the right box on your theme settings page. If you leave it blank the email form won’t appear in your sidebar.

    For example, my FeedBurner RSS URL is: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ThrillingHeroics
    My FeedBurner URI for email subscriptions is just: ThrillingHeroics

    @Louis: Yes you’ll need your own self-hosted WordPress.org software to use this theme. If you need to set up a new site, I totally recommend BlueHost for their low price and spectacular support.

    @Jonny: Hah, thanks buddy! Web design services can always be paid for in cash OR in pints. BTW, your own new site design is looking great!

    @Caleb & Important Message for All: No category links will appear in your header navigation until you’ve added categories and used them on at least one blog post. So, in other words, if all your blog posts are Uncategorized, the header won’t show any category links yet. Alternately, you can edit header.php with a text editor and hard code your own specific links like I have here on ThrillingHeroics.com

    Hi Cody,

    Many thanks for the free theme, it’s great! I’m currently rebuilding one of my sites around it and am very impressed with its flexibility.

    One question: how do I go about getting different images above the title of each individual blog post (i.e. on the demo version how did you get the picture of the girl and the bike, the sunset, the boy and the dog, etc. above the title of each post)?

    I think a lot of people like this visual aspect of your site, but it’s not entirely clear how to go about doing it – maybe there’s a plugin involved?

    Thanks again for all your work on this,

    Thom

    Make sure you check out the static page with all the details & instructions here: http://www.thrillingheroics.com/thrillingtheme

    Look for the big subtitle “Add Featured Photos to your Blog Posts” for more, but by default there is a new module added to your New Post panel called “Featured Image URL”, so just upload any photo to your Media Library, copy the Image URL and close the box (no need to hit “insert in post”) and paste the URL in that box. Thrilling theme does the rest—automatically resizing and cropping your featured images to the preformatted size!

    Thanks guys!

    Wow, great work! That’s for such an awesome, and free, WordPress theme!

    I ran into a problem with the Twitter status functionality: My server has disabled PHP URL file access (which prevents both allow_url_fopen & file_get_contents from using a URL), so the Twitter widget was just showing this:

    —————————————————-
    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/username/public_html/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme1.0.1/sidebar.php on line 109

    Warning: file_get_contents(http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:username&rpp=3) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/username/public_html/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme1.0.1/sidebar.php on line 114
    —————————————————-

    Most PHP installations are configured with cURL enabled, so I rewrote the Twitter section of sidebar.php to use cURL instead. Here are the steps I followed to fix this:

    Hi Cody, just thought I’d highlight a few more issues that I’ve run up against so far:

    1. I can’t find a way to change the regular link color. If you visit http://www.thegoodwall.com, a site I’m launching right now, you’ll see that I’ve managed to get the header navbar links to be the same color as the blog title, which is what I want, but can’t change the hover color on the lower navbar or post titles to match the red seen in the header, nor can I can change the color of a normal link. It might just be me being a *complete* moron, but I’ve had no luck in the .css files…

    2. How does one go about setting up the Archives? Is it simply a case of creating a page titled ‘Archives’, because I’ve had no luck with that so far…

    3. As selecting a category for a post causes it to come up in the lower navbar beneath the header, how does this affect categorisation elsewhere? You have a number of categories for your posts (Jedi Mind Tricks, Trip Reports, etc.) that don’t appear in the lower navbar – how did you go about this?

    Again, apologies if I’m being a dumbass on this stuff! Still loving the theme and really impressed with your work on it.

    Thanks,

    Thom

    I don’t see anything on the ‘Thrilling Theme Options” where I can configure the ‘thrill_video_category‘ and the ‘thrill_asides_category‘. The reason I’m trying to configure them is because the following line in archives.php doesn’t work properly:

    <?php if ( is_category($vidcat) ) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), ''); } ?>

    For some reason, when browsing the posts by category, it thinks EVERY page is the $vidcat category, so it displays the full posts (the_content()) instead of the excerpts (the_excerpt()).

    Any pointers on that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and thank you for sharing the theme.

    In our web we’ve been using thumbnail’ themes for a while, so we have a custom field (named “articleimg”) dedicated for the images.

    Untill now, when we changed a theme we just edited the new theme’s custom field’s name into the previous one. But this theme has its own thumbnail generator, separated from the normal custom fields.

    What should we edit to use a “normal” custom field, yet it still resized new uploaded images? Is it possible anyway? We have about 500 posts with their thumbnails and now it’s quiet a job to add them, but if it’s mandatory we will

    Thank you,
    Pol

37. Cody McKibben Says:
    7 November 2009 at 8:24 pm

    @Pol:

    If you already have an existing custom field for featured images on your blog, you can change ThrillingTheme to use your existing custom key:

    Open:

    archive.php
    author.php
    page.php
    imagegallery.php
    index.php
    single.php
    tag.php

    Do a search for:
    get_post_meta($post->ID,'image'

    And replace with:
    get_post_meta($post->ID,'yourcustomfieldname'

    Same for:
    get_post_meta($post->ID, "image"
get_post_meta($post->ID, "yourcustomfieldname"

    If you want the custom Featured Image URL panel on your “Add New Post” pages to work properly, you’ll also need to open:
    ThrillingTheme/functions/custom.php

    Search for:
    "name" => "image",

    And replace with:
    "name" => "yourcustomfieldname",

    ID,’image’, true) ) { ?>
    <a title="Click here to read the story" href="”><img alt="” src=”/thumb.php?src=ID, “image”, $single = true); ?>&h=180&w=255&zc=1&q=95″ style=”margin:5px;”/>

    @Ken: You should be able to limit the Image Gallery page to only specific categories by opening imagegallery.php and modifying the query_posts call.

    Search for:

    < ?php query_posts('showposts=16'); ?>

    And replace with something like:

    < ?php query_posts('cat=17&showposts=16'); ?>

    Hey friend,

    I have no problem to put featured image or polaroid image. It just look awesome in my blog. Your image may not show up because it might too big in size. Try to change the image size and upload it again to your media library. For featured image, sometimes you need to delete the image and upload it again then only it can really work. Hope this help you guys.

    Guys, sorry for the slow update. I am working on yet another iteration to make some improvements based on the feedback and, well, I gotta keep dinner on the table, so thanks for your patience.

    SNAPSHOT IMAGES & FEATURED IMAGES
    The problem is most likely that you are using a format that the resizer doesn’t understand. For best results, use JPG only for the snapshot photo in the header and the featured images on each post. For the titlebar logo you obviously need a PNG with transparency if you want it to work correctly, but I would not recommend trying PNGs anywhere else as they seem to disagree with the auto-resizer script.

    @Esme: The last iteration of this theme I simply mistakenly put it in a folder called 1.0.3. It IS the 1.0.4 theme if you check the style.css. Look for a new version soon if you guys are still having trouble with some of the formatting. Apologies.

    @Robin: Sorry but I really have no way of know what the problem is exactly. Most likely there is something wrong with Javascript on your server settings, but I also notice that it looks like somebody altered the footer and that has thrown off the whole template structure.

    Hey Cody,

    Another suggestion:

    In single.php, you shouldn’t add the “Related Articles” header because the plugin takes care of that (you end up with a double header when you set the title for Related Posts in the plugin).

    Here’s the line that should be removed from single.php:

    Related Articles

    Thanks!

    Ah, good eye Raam. Thanks for your suggestion, and others should keep this in mind, but the theme is designed so you can simply upload and activate the plugin without needing to configure anything. Cheers mate.

    Cody – this theme is utterly lovely in looks. Thank you for sharing it.

    I fully understand if you haven’t got time and resources available to provide support.

    The suggested answer to the image problem above isn’t right though – it’s not simply a case that people are using wrong image types. There is something fundamentally wrong with image inserts on this theme. I can’t even get your default krabi jpg to show when I paste it in, and I’ve hardly begun using the theme.

    I hope someone cracks it.

    Esme, Matt, John & others:

    If you’re still problems with the featured images, header snapshot & auto image resizer in the theme, please try downloading the latest version, 1.0.6, from the page here: http://www.thrillingheroics.com/ThrillingTheme

    Also be sure to use JPG-format images for best results (everywhere except the logo if you use one—there a PNG with transparency is best). And you might want to clear ALL the files from the ThrillingTheme/cache/ directory. Let me know if that helps fix your issues with images.

    @Backpacker Matt:

    The front page will display your “excerpts”, meaning, look for the Excerpt module on your “Write New Post” or “Edit Post” page. If you don’t write your own excerpts, it auto-pulls like the first 200 characters or something.

    To change the continue reading links on the front page, you’ll need to open index.php and do a search for
    < ?php the_title(); ? rel="nofollow">" href="< ?php the_permalink() ?>">Read this article…

    Leave the code but you can change the “read this article” message to anything you’d like.

    Cody,

    I downloaded the new theme and made sure that the photo I uploaded for the header is in JPEG format. However, I continue to have the same problem. To check, I substituted your Krabi photo. Still no image showing up inside the “polaroid” frame. Another thing: Only the first 7 categories (alphabetically) show up under the header – not the categories with the most posts. With the 1.0.3 theme, all categories showed up (which was not optimal either).

    I don’t know if this will help folks with the image upload problem. I was experiencing these same issues, and noticed what Michael Buckbee said in an above comment(5 November 2009). He stated that the “PHP_GD needs to be installed, and provided this link for instructions:

    http://www.hui-wang.info/2009/07/gd-library-error-imagecreatetruecolor-does-not-exist/

    I went to website, but still ended up having to ask my techy brother for some help. He stated that I would have to first contact my Host in order to have them install the PHP_GD file, and THEN I was able to enable it(that link had the instructions).

    So I contacted Hostgator(my host), and they installed it for me. I thought I was home free, but then it still wasn’t working. I told my host what was going on, and after talking to a second rep, they basically said..oh, we see what the problem is, we have to “whitewash” something..or do something “w/security settings” for your site…Once “that” was done, the header & snap shot pics worked..!

    So, I hope that helped. :->

    To update others on my post above re: header image.

    Hostgator fixed the image problem with the whitelisting, but when I changed the image again I found it wouldn’t clear out of the cache and the old image remained.

    I contacted them again and they said:

    “It appears that the issue was caused by the thumb.php scripts cache. I’ve cleared the files from the cache/ directory and refreshed the page and now show the correct image displayed at the top of site. The cache directory that was cleared is located in wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme1.0.3/ThrillingTheme1.0.3/cache/”

    For those of you that don’t really care how or why there is a polaroid problem….

    You can FTP to your site, and pull out the snapshot-trans.png file (Mine is here: http://www.techforthemasses.net/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme/ThrillingTheme/images/snapshot-trans.png)

    Copy to desktop. Edit with Photoshop. Then basically copy whatever photo you want in there, save as png as the same name. Upload back into the orginal FTP directory. Done! Don’t forget to backup the original just in case.

    For people having issues with the resizer that makes the post images on the main page:

    Check the source of the page to see where the thumb.php script is thinking your image file is. Paste this into your browser. You may see an error message from the thumb.php file indicating that it cannot find the image at that location. This script uses the path to the file on the web server, not on your website. Because my Wordpress installation is not in /var/www/ but in /usr/share/ it was not finding the image. I revised the thumb.php script variables and now it works fine.

     The next time you update this template I would suggest letting your Flickr plugin to allow group ids. This way when other people that attend my events they can just add them to the group and they will be shared with the site.

     In order to give you the ability to change the photo in the top navigation (shown as a background image with another PNG border hovering OVER it) it breaks W3C. In this humble developer’s opinion, W3C validation is meaningless as long as you have a cool-looking site that renders properly in all major browsers.

     Yay! I have managed to get my header pic on! Wanted to let you all know how in case it helps anyone else.

     I did all the thing mentioned here (contacted host…whitewashing, apache, clearing cache etc but they didn’t work). I realised the path on the snapshot photo section in wp-admin didn’t match my ftp (filezilla path) where I was uploading my picture from:

     http://reachourdreams.com/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme/ThrillingTheme/images/krabi.jpg is the correct one.

     Hello all,
     Has anyone figured out where to save the favicon.ico? Which folder is the header looking into? I have not figured this out yet, any help would be great.

     @Darrin

     By default header.php proposes :
     link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico”

     So default place is website root, but you can modify header.php to fulfill your needs

     @Jen, sorry you had such trouble sorting out the problem with your images. Here’s some more detailed info for anyone still having problems with the thumbnail script:

     If you are on HostGator

     If you are on HostGator, all you have to do is contact them by going to: http://www.hostgator.com/

     Click where it says: ‘Click here. Live Chat’ on the upper-right corner of the web-page and tell the followings:

     add following rules [ 1234234,340151 ] to mod_security for http://www.yourwebsite.com
     Please whitelist for the domain

     That is all you have to do. Wait a couple of minutes and you’ll probably see the images on the front page of your web-site.

     Cache Folder

     One of the most common errors is that the cache/ folder does not have write permissions. If your error message is something along the lines of “Permission denied…” and you can see it referencing you /cache folder, then you probably have not set write permissions to it.

     To do this, you will need to “CHMOD” the folder in your FTP client to 777 (or 755 or full write permissions). Check out this tutorial on how to do that. The folder you will need to change the permissions is “/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme/cache”. This is the folder where the thumbnail generator stores cached images.

     PHP GD Library

     The thumb.php script uses PHP GD Library to resize the images, which is usually included with PHP and should be installed on your web host. Some small web hosts haven’t done this and you will then get a error like “GD Library Error: imagecreatetruecolor does not exist”. You should ask your web host to activate PHP GD or find a better hosting provider, since this should be included and is not a hassle to setup for them.

     There are also some older versions of PHP that will give an error like “gd-png: fatal libpng error: zlib error”. This should also be fixed by your host by upgrading to a newer version. This usually only happens with PNG images, so you can try to upload your images in JPEG format instead.

     I am also having trouble with photos appearing above posts. I called my host – GoDaddy and they said there was nothing they could do – that it was a wordpress issue. I cleared the cache and it didn’t help. I used firebug and changed it from this:

     to this:

     and it worked. So, is there any issue with thumb.php? Anyone have any ideas? Anyone have similar issues with GoDaddy as their host?

     Well the second example there will simply show your images without resizing them. What you’ve cut out is the resizer script itself.

     Again, try using JPG images.

     Hey Cody

     No worries, I’ve learnt alot & I managed to get it sorted yesterday. I did all the things mentioned in the comments but the final tweak that got the photo appearing was realising that the filepath for the snapshot photo was not matching path on the ftp server:

     http://reachourdreams.com/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme/ThrillingTheme/images/krabi.jpg

     the original one I was using had /thrilling heroics/ where the first ThrillingTheme is. As soon as I changed that, the picture appeared.

     Thanks again Cody

     Advertising Manager Version 3.4.10
     Akismet Version 2.2.7
     All in One SEO Pack Version 1.6.10
     Clean Archives Reloaded Version 3.1.10

     WordPress Beta Tester Version 0.81
     WP Geo Version 3.1.2
     WP SimpleMail Version 0.6.2
     WP Super Cache Version 0.9.8

     On the top of that i use some personnal functions added in the function.php file

     The only solution (I know it’s a PITA) is :
     1- to write (or screen shot) the settings of all plug ins
     2- deactivate all plug ins
     3- see if everything works (if it’s not the case there is a problem with your theme)
     4- one by one activate the plug ins until the admin breaks

     But before that, classical medecine applies, emply your cache so see if what you’re seeing is not a basic cache problem

     Thank you for this theme! I am using it for my blog and I just love it!

     I am using:
     CommentLuv 2.7.64
     Subscribe to Comments 2.1.2
     Comment Reply Notification 1.3 (which is a great plugin similar to Subscribe to Comments, except it only notifies people when someone replies directly to their comment).

     Anyway, in my comments form, StC appears above the “Submit” button, and CommLuv and CRN appear below the “Submit” button. Ideally, I’d like to put them all above, but as long as they end up on the same side (they appear on the same side in most other themes I’ve tried). If I understood what cue they were taking from the theme for where to display, I could probably figure out how to move them. Any suggestions on how to go about that?

     Maybe someone in the community can point me in the right direction. Even helping me figure out where to go look it up would be an awesome help!

     This is a truly awesome theme. I have a question. The two sites that Cody points to as custom installations of this theme, Business Backpacker and In Search of Sanuk, both have graphic backgrounds behind the main content areas. I’ve looked through the theme’s files and the pages’ sources as interpreted by the browser but, being a newbie to css and javascript and all that, I can’t see an obvious way to add such a background image to my own site. Can someone tell me how to do this or point me to the appropriate resource? Thanks.

     Thanks, Cody, for making such a great theme available.

     @Matt – to create a custom background, Cody is referencing an additional stylesheet within the header.php file that links to background images. You can take a look at one of these stylesheets here – hope this helps!: http://www.businessbackpacker.com/wp-content/themes/ThrillingTheme/styles/12-grungerust.css

I use the twitter for wordpress plugin now and it seems to be fixed. However the twitter updates are now displayed twice in IE and once in Chrome or Firefox.
