    :)

  11. Molly says:

    Well, I finally found my theme! Had to wait 6 months and plow through probably thousands of themes while trying to learn how to do it myself in my free time, but there it is. Exactly what I want. I may even play w/it and try to use it as my website theme as well. It’s perfect for all 3 of my blogs (research assistant, cleaning and music gig links) because of the versatile header. Wow, can’t thank you enough Harsh (and of course it’s creator is mega Thanked!)

    Neat looking theme and plenty of options,Well done.

  13. Avinashtech says:

    hi
    thanks for this great theme. I am using it on http://www.avinashtech.com. Its great.

    Just one issue. When i drop down the category tab on top, it doesnt come on top of the image ad i have just below header and it hides the categories listed down below the leaderboard image Ad(of google adsense).

    Any clue on this.
    thanx

  14. MOin says:

    Yeah WP Soul resembles Thesis, but WP Soul is free :)

  15. MOin says:

    AvinashTech thanks for using my theme. I myself kept Categories from overlapping the ads because its against Google Adsense and some other ad companies TOS.

    Still if you are want categories menu to show above ad on top do the following.

    - Open style.css file from theme ‘wpsoul’ directory.
    - On line 134 or simply find ‘#Navigation {‘ and paste the following code under it.

    position:absolute;
    z-index: 1;

    Kindly report back if it work for you or not :)

  16. Avinashtech says:

    hi Moin

    Thanx for prompt reply. I knew its against TOS of google adsense and hence dont wana try it out on my blog.

    i want to display all categories and adsense both and also dont wana violate adsense TOS.

    Perhaps if i can reduce the font size of categories and the width of each category, then perhaps it wont overlap.

    if i am right, can you help me do that?

  17. Avinashtech says:

    May be you can put categories in two columns if it exceeds , say 5?

  18. subbu says:

  38. Mena says:

    Hi,
    I have translated your theme to my local which its direction from right to left and also translated it’s language, After that the site is not good in IE,Google Chrome

    Can you help me ?

  39. Mena says:

    I forgot, It’s Opera not IE

  40. Neto says:

    Hi,

    I really like the theme.. I am trying it on two blogs.. I have only encountered two problems..
    1. the admin login.. the theme built in only shows when logged in – is that the way it should be? I am having trouble getting any other meta widget or plugin to work with it..

    2. feedburner via email.. I have email turned on in feedburner account.. have the feed info in the WP Soul Theme Settings.. I still get message email not activated..

    Any help would be appreciated.

  41. Mena says:

    1.I didn’t try adding any meta widgets but the build in Meta only appears when you are logged in

    2. I have also this problem !

  42. Mena says:

    I checked the theme sidebar.php file for the Feeds Code and compared it with the one from Google feeds Code,and i found no problem, but i changed the URL selected here as in the below image with the URL of my feeds e-mail subscription and worked fine

    http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6258/622200990824am.png

    Maybe try this way and t will work although in the Google feed burner website it’s the same as in WP-Soul them sidebar.php file feedburner code

  43. MOin says:

    Hello Mena, the meta widget only appears when an admin or any other author is logged in. you can remove show to only admin exception by editing sidebar.php, let me know if you want help with this :)

    and thanks for using wp-soul.

  44. MOin says:

    Mena in ‘Feedburner Title:’ option in admin panel you don’t need to enter full address you just have to enter the feed title just like ‘techiesouls’ or ‘yoursite’ which comes at the end of the URL you tried to show us :)

  45. MOin says:

    Thanks Mena for using wp-soul on your website i have a few tips for you to make sure theme is looking the way it should.

    open style.css from theme directory and make sure

    there is float:left property under #content

    &

    there is float:right property under #sidebar

    Other than this i have no idea why sidebar is heading towards left. Can explain a bit more how do you translate a theme?

  46. Mena says:

    I used a script which changes every word from left to right and don’t know what else it does

    Here is a link to it : http://www.ahmadh.com/tools/cssmirror/

  47. Mena says:

    I changed what you mentioned and i liked the placement of the sidebar heheh :) but still there is a problem with Google Chrome and Opera

  48. MOin says:

    Your site look exactly the same in Chrome as it looks in Firefox :)

  49. tek says:
