    Hi Towfiqul, thanks for the updated version, it’s kinda half fixed it – now I get a thumbnail sized box with the image of a camera, not the actual image. Have I set it up wrong? Also is there anyway I can make the shortcode buttons supplied to open in the same window?

      The Amphion thumbnails work this way:
      If there is a featured image it shows the featured image if not then it shows the a image from the post, if the post does not have any of these it shows the default camera photo.

      About your shortcode question, I don’t understand what you are trying to do…

    Hi there! Love the theme, I’ve just begun fiddling around with it. I’m having an irritating issue though: when I make a post and it opens up the single post page, I want the text to wrap the images on either the right or the left depending on how they are aligned and they aren’t doing it. I got this bit of code from WP here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images
    But I’m not entirely sure where to put it into the stylesheet. Can you help me out? Thanks so much.

      If it is not created automatically you can create it yourself. Under the editor there is a box “Custom Fields”. Select summary from dropdown menu and write something in the text field right next to it. Now click on “Add Custom Field” button.

    I’m having some trouble with this. I’ve set a featured image and it looks great in the slider, but for some reason the “popular posts” widget has the default image of the camera instead of the thumbnail. something I’m doing wrong?

    on March 6, 2011 at 1:12 am

    Actually it gets worse. If I set a feature image to a post, it works in the slider but not the homepage blocks or “popular posts”. Then if i add an image into the post content, it uses the “feature image” to populate the blocks and widgets but not the one i added. Then if i remove the feature image, the blocks remain (using the now-removed feature image) but the slider image disappears.
    This is insanely frustrating.

    Sorry, last time bugging you I promise. Thanks for your help; the version update did the trick.

    The blocks are set to a certain category but often contain duplicates due to several categories being used for some entries. Can these blocks be set to retrieve just the 4 newest entries instead of set by category? I’d like to keep them because they look nice and catch attention. Thanks again.

      No. But you can make a category called “featured” and add the the posts you want in your slider in that category and then select the category “featured” for the slider category.

      I’m having the same problem. I have only 2 posts on my blog, but I added each of them to every of the 4 categories I have, so that I was able to select each of the for categories for one block. But they never show up and they won’t change the category that’s shown as “selected” (it stays always the same category for all 4 blocks). Can you help me with that, please?

    • renet
      on March 14, 2011 at 5:11 pm

      In fact, I have exactly one category that I am able to select that stays selected after I save the settings. But then a differen category is shown in each of the 4 boxes on my homepage. (I’m only able to select cat D in the settings. And only if I select this category, then always cat B is shown on the homepage. If I try to select cat A or C and save the settings then cat B shows up as selected category, if I go to the settings-page again – but in that case no block is displayed on the homepage.) Please help, this seems to be pretty buggy, yet. =)

    • renet
      on March 14, 2011 at 5:22 pm

      Ok, I just figured out that this is because of I used & and ‘ signs in my category names. Maybe you should use the slug rather than the name of a category, or at least use character escaping.

      I changed & to + and removed all ‘. Still one problem remains: No matter what categories I select, only one category shows up at my homepage, no matter whether I select the ‘My Blocks are not working. Fix It’ option, or not.

      on March 14, 2011 at 5:45 pm

    • renet
      on March 14, 2011 at 9:13 pm

      Thank you for that hint. Now I was able to fix it. You were right, the reason was that all posts belonged to all 4 categories and only the first cat is shown in the block title. But that’s not the way it should be. The cats selected in the settings should be displayed, no matter what – because a post can always have more than 1 category. I fixed this, e-mail me, if you want me to send you the fixed blocks.php file.

      Still I’d like to be able to use & ” and ‘ in the cat names. Could you provide me a solution for this, please? =)

    two quick questions:

      It is because your blocks posts title is bigger. Try wriring custom excerpt for the posts to justify the size. And for the comments bubble,Go to Appearance > Editor and Find theses lines in blocks.php and remove them:

      1
2

      <div class="block_comm"><?php if (!empty($post->post_password)) { ?>
        	<?php } else { ?><div class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%', '', __('Off')); ?></div><?php } ?></div>
