Put it at the bottom of your style.css file, the one that comes with the theme or your child theme.

Tough one. I’d say if your database is extremely large (we’re talking several GB) then HyperDB can indeed help – but you need to have two or more database servers at your disposal. You can then split the database into several tables per server.

I would personally try upgrading to better hosting as this will likely solve the problem.

In which css file i should add this. i can not find #login-text in any of my css files. but i can see this id on slidebar.php.

/* remove login form */
#login-text {display: none;}
#sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

/* remove yellow members box from sidebar */
.item-meta .activity {display: none;}

Only one post will show up as featured with the large image. You can declare several posts as featured of course, but only the latest one will show up as enlarged. This can be overridden with a sticky post which will show before all other posts.

So how many images can you have ‘featured’ at any given time? Obviously only one image is ‘leading’ on the frontpage but there are other leaders within the other categories that you’d like to make bigger too, no?

Very strange. Various sites show a home page and contact page in preview, but no download anywhere has these pages. She likes the theme but doesn’t have the skills to create pages from a simple sample page. Hopefully I will hear back from the author.

Glad it helped
To add a margin to list items in single posts add this code to the bottom of your style.css file:

.single .post .entry-content ul li, .single .post .entry-content ol li {margin-left: 50px;}

Play with the margin value to your heart’s content. Note that the theme has not defined styling for list items on pages, this only works on single posts.

I’m not sure, I don’t think there is. You’ll have to create sample pages and posts manually and populate them with Lorem Ipsum text I guess.

I’m a beginner to WordPress using this theme to help out a friend. I’ve been able to replace the blog title with an image of my own (thanks to you!) and align it with the menu, which now has a background color of it’s own (again, thanks to you). However, I would like the list items to have a margin so they are not right up against the edge of the block. I’ve tried playing with align and margin tags to no avail. Can you help?

I have a friend who likes the theme and I am trying to help her, but every download of the theme only has a sample page. Is there a full theme download anywhere?
