Guys, I’m sorry to announce this, but my schedule is no longer allowing me to offer support for Simple Balance, either in the form of updates, or help through comments.

Please forgive me if you are still looking for help or if you come here to get answers. I’m sure that for a really moderate fee (or no fee at all) there are people out there willing to help.

To prevent people no reading this announcement and posting questions that might not get answered, I will close the comments on this post. Thank you for your understanding, and using Simple Balance!

kotyar: You’ll just have to edit the theme files and replace: the_excerpt() with the_content() WP tags, and then using the “more” tag inside your articles to limit the output. This is some sort of PRO work, so if you’re no familiar with it, I’d suggest having someone with some WP knowledge to do it for you.

In regards to the centering, you probably edited the CSS file, removing the “auto” setting on the margins of either body or #wrap definitions.

For the background of the tags area, some css on their container class would do, scan the HTML and then edit the CSS accordingly.

One more….is there a way to add a background to the tags area under each post?

Hey Alex [or anyone else],

I seem to have changed the settings of the theme. It is no longer centered on the webpage but the site is aligned to the left. I can’t find what code I may have deleted or changed.

Any suggestions?

Hi Alex,

Its cool and nice theme, it is possible to display posts with images in the home page along with excerpt content?

If so please let me know how to do it

Hi Alex, Simple Balance is a great theme and I have a question: how to add to every article a “Written by ” afer “Posted on ” ? Thank you

The theme is great, I appreciate your work. I was wondering if it would be possible to change the colors on the front-end? So the users would be able to change the color of the blog.

^^^ Opps it’s a plug in..not part of the theme.

I’m back! I wanted to know how to insert an image above the “featured content” bit on the right sidebar.

First of all, brilliant theme! Love the easy customization

Got a quick question, each of my blog posts contain a photo at the top. On the front page I can only see the image on the 1st post while images from subsequent posts are missing. Is there a way to solve this?

Thank you for your quick reply. Alright one more.

I moved the searchform using a absoulte positioning [top and left] and I wanted to know if you [or anyone else] knew how to make it stay put, no matter the screen rez.

My host uses PHP Version 5.3.1 could that be a problem with the theme??

I’m sorry man, really. It’s hard to approach certain errors without being able to test things yourself. There are things that happen due to certain element of the installation environment. Really sorry, and good luck finding a theme that suits you! As I said, and you can see for yourself on the demo server, it works fine on the latest release of WP, so I cannot point exactly what can cause your installation to crash.

Well, Alex, I tried what you suggested as I thought it may be related to permalinks – no luck. I have now deleted everything including databases etc and done a fresh install from scratch with WP. Did not add anything except Simple Balance – changed the theme from classic to SB and the same problem. The only post was the “hello world” which disappeared as soon as SB was activated. I can’t figure it out. Guess it means SB will not be my template from now on

@St_Augustine: From the looks of it I think you might have a problem with the permalink structure. Try to use the original /p=Number structure and see if that works, then redefine your permalinks and see if anything changes.

@Candace: Since there are related widths in the theme CSS you’d have to go through a bunch of them and adjust accordingly. Although I wouldn’t suggest it. The theme is designed for a 1024 screen resolution which is quite common. Increasing it would take your site out of the “common” range.

Hello. I want to make it so that the site dimensions are wider. Is there a way I can increase the page size completely or will I have to go to every “width:” statement and change the sizes?

St_Augustine — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:28:06 +0000

P.S. I have not edited anything in the theme files since this is a fresh install. The only plugins I have are wordpress.com stats, akismet & clean archives reloaded

I’ve currently added my website link with the SB template in use.

By: St_Augustine

St_Augustine — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:24:06 +0000

Thanks Alex – I didn’t post a link because all it would show you currently is the default template with my current posts – and would not show you the issue, since I removed your SB template to test out where the issue lies

@Adil, I’ve explained earlier that there’s a conflict in a certain PHP release. Without being able to recreate the environment of the error, it’s impossible to track it. Sorry!

@St_Augustine: Theme has been tested on 2.8.6 (it’s currently running on 2.8.6 fine on the demo). Could be either a plugin conflict with the theme files, or something you might have edited in the theme files (?). Anyway, if you just tell me that something happens without even giving a link to the site it’s fairly impossible for me to guess. I don’t have a crystal ball my friend.
