Hi there;

I love Delicia. It’s a perfect theme for me. However, I’d like to know if there’s an option to add an “Edit Page” function, as I’m always updating pages and posts, and it’d be easier for me to do it “on the fly,” rather than having to go back to the admin panel, search for each page and then edit. Is there a fix for this?

Best,

Rudy

Hi Mitch, I’m afraid you’ll have to do some editing. My advice is to keep the widgets (you never know when you’ll need them) and, instead, delete the content displayed by default.
First, it’s a good idea to make a backup copy of your actual sidebar.php file. Then spot the things you want to get rid of and delete the code from the starting

tag to the closing

. Make sure you don’t delete something else. If you’re having any trouble, just drop me a line and I’ll send you a new sidebar.php file.

re: getting the pictures to show on the front page.

i was scrolling wordpress themes for hours, then saw ‘doc’. wow. the simplicity of this is so clean and sophisticated looking – just the sort of thing i want. no clutter!

i want my blog to look like words in an art gallery. which means that every post will have a photo. and i do want the photos to show on the first page, so a visitor could scroll down and see a rainbow of color jump out on the white back drop.

thing is, i’m really stupid when it comes to these kinds of instructions you just gave above. perhaps it is simple, but seems complicated enough to make me not want to try.

is there a simpler way? like, something that says ‘do you want pictures to appear on the first page? if so, click here’?

i’ve never had a blog before. and computer language makes no sense to me. obviously.

thought i’d ask ~

Whoops, I thought I had answered to that question. The pictures don't show on the front page because of a little php call that would display only the first 45 words of a post and would strip the HTML; I used this template tag to help theme's users to avoid the duplicate content issue. There are actually several ways to get the pictures show. The most common is to get the whole post to display. To do this, you'll have to edit the index.php file, spot the expression and replace it with . If you're opting for this method, don't forget to delete the existing link to the post (under the_excerpt_rss line, starting with

), for the new template tag will generate it automatically. The problem with this method is that the_content template tag will only show what is above the quicktag. So, if the pictures are below, they won't show. Another method, quite common in last year's magazine style themes, involves the use of custom fields. The drawback is that you'd have to specify a key and a value for each picture you want to get displayed on the front page, so it is annoying. Nowadays, the trend is to use Darren Hoyt's TimThumb script. There are also a few plugins in the WordPress repository. On this blog I use a script. It is lighter than the TimThumb script, automatically retrieves the first image of a post and displays it on the first page. I get the pictures resized via HTML and CSS. A more elegant solution is to use C. Bavota's plugin (Simple Image Grabber), that will resize the images via PHP, or even integrate it with your theme. To integrate it, you'll have to copy the content of the simple-image-grabber.php file (without the first line - ), paste it in the functions.php file, and place the functions call in the index.php file, just above the line containing the_excerpt_rss tag. (The best spot to paste the plugin's script in the theme's functions file is at the end of the document, above the last line ( ?>; make sure you don't touch that line, otherwise your blog won't be desplayed at all). I hope I mannaged to answer. If you're having troubles with these codes, please let me know.
