Actually cancel that. If I click on the download link on the top left it works fine, but I was right clicking on the file icons themselves. It would download the zip file which was properly named but it would be corrupted. Very weird.

You zips are all corrupted. I’ve tried downloading 1.4-1.4.2 and none are able to be opened by Windows Zip utility or even 7zip.

Thank you again!!

Hi Buffy,

Thanks for your comment :). Glad that you figured out the stuff by yourself. I think you also figured out the font size issue, its in the style.css file -> look for:

#menu a {
font-size: 16px;
=============

That will change the font size, hope this helps.

Hey again, Just wanted to say that I FINALLY figured out where to look for the rss and search code to edit and solved my problem. FYI other people out there…it’s in the header.php file. B-)

Still not touching the menu font size issue so could use the help.

Thanks again for the great mods!

Hi Rubayat,

I’m really loving the changes you’ve made with the modified EG theme but have three small cosmetic things that I can’t figure out how to fix.

I’m sorry to bother you here but I’ve looked in the WP forums and am not getting much help from them at all. (Most of the answers given there assume that I am at a certain high level of expertise and that’s not true, unfortunately)

These little issues have been addressed in other posts here, but your answer to ‘modify the php code’ is too general to help me much. I’m not a complete .css rookie but do need a little more guidance. (I’m hoping that I am pitiful enough, you will be moved to help me out here.. Is it working? B-)

Anyway, my questions are:

1- I want to get rid of the search box in the header altogether. I’ve removed all the search code I could find in style.css but all it’s done is move it. Help! Do I need to delete the search php or something?

2- Same prob with the RSS png in the header.I deleted the png but now have the RSS link sitting there. How do I get rid of the silly thing?

2- I would like to make the font smaller in the menu bar on the header but after messing up the search box and rss issues, I don’t want to touch it. I just need some help on what to edit.

My url is http://www.bodybubbles.com if you need to see what I’m talking about.

Thanks for the great “tune up” on an already great theme and thanks in advance for your help.

Buffy

Have you noticed that when you view the site in less than full-size, the theme’s layout is screwed up? I use this theme on my blog as well and that’s how I noticed it originally.

Hi Janet,

The fix probably will be very easy but I have to install MU and do testing. I am outside the country right now and as soon as I get some time i’ll fix it with some more updates. Thnx

I totally love this theme but am having the options page issue with MU. Have you come up with an easy fix for someone who has not coding ability? I also love your modified version, perfect for an elementary group of students using primary sources.. thx janet

Hi Leslie,

Its basically modifying the php files and removing those sections you mentioned. for your 3rd problem you can create the Logo with header title/info within it, that way you will have everything you want.
