FAQ about Article Directory Theme and Plugin
How can I have the outside background (grey stripes) and the border like on this site? How to add a logo in the header before the site title? How can I change the width of the sidebars? How to place a banner in header? Etc.
Sorry, I can't help you with such a questions. Please read and study CSS manuals or find a freelancer that make this things for you.
I have installed your theme "Article Directory", but I don't see the "Register" link on my site.
You need to activate the "Membership (Anyone can register)" option on the "General Settings" page of admin area.
Is there a simple way to quickly add the categories (instead of adding it one by one)?
Yes. You can use the Post Corrector plugin for this.
Is there a version of Article Directory theme just for a regular blog?
Yes. You can get it here - ADSimple WordPress theme.
What should I enter in the "ID of author panel page" in the plugin options? What should that look like?

Go to the "Pages" in admin menu. Hover the mouse cursor on the title of the author panel page you have created. Now look at the status bar of your browser. You'll see something like this:
The number after
post=is the ID of author panel page. Is there a way let users edit their posts not in WordPress admin area?
Sorry, but that's not possible.

Hi, I have just noticed that the link to the author page is not working on my theme. I get a 404 “Not found error”. I am testing this on WAMP Server with Wordpress 2.9.1. Any ideas why this is happening? Could it be some PHP module that needs to be installed on WAMP?
Darius, most likely you are using a default permalink template. Use this:
/%postname%/.Yeah, that solved it! Thanks!!!
Hi, wouldn’t it be useful to offer RSS for the articles of each author in his profile? How could this be implemented?
Lists of “pages” are available at two locations in header of page. To mutual exclusion repeated pages you must find in two places of the header.php file the code like this:
and specify in the include option comma-separated list identifiers pages you wish to include into the list.
can you guide me regarding this.. thanks.. :)

What is the complexity?
can this plugin and templates work with wp-dtree?
As soon as I enabled the Article Directory plugin, I got a list of errors at the top of my page like this:
Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /home/linkches/public_html/contentsource6590778/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2056
Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/linkches/public_html/contentsource6590778/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2056
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/linkches/public_html/contentsource6590778/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2063
Any thoughts on why this may be happening? I appreciate any help!
Mike, sorry, I don’t know the reason of that, may be it conflicting with other plugins.
Hello,
I would like to add a 468 x 60 banner ad to the right side of my header and move the search box down to make room for the banner as shown at http://articlesss.com.
I am using the Article Directory Theme and my website address is http://ezinearticlestar.com.
Can you please tell me what code I need to put in the header and/or the stylesheet to add the banner?
In addition, how do I move the search box down to the right even with the tabs as shown at articlesss.com?
Thank you,
Sandy
hi Dimox,
I am now using ADSimple.
I encounter a problem that all the widgets of the third sidebar (which I mean I set them to display in the third sidebar) are displayed in the second sidebar, in IE6.0. But in the latest Chrome and Firefox, I have no such a problem.
What is weird is that with IE6.0 I can view the demo of ADSimple with right format. For example, the page (http://freegplthemes.com/demo/adsimple/) is displayed rightly.
Could you tell me where the problem is and how to fix it?
Thank you for your nice theme~
Sandy L Murray, read this.
manio, I don’t know where is the problem, I not see the difference between the result in IE6 and any other browser.
visit my blog (http://manio.org) with IE6.0, and you’ll find that the rightest sidebard is empty. This is the problem.
hi dimox, I’ve found the reason. it’s the third party javascript that break the format.
this javascript displays a table with several images in it.
Thank you all the same. and thank you for your nice theme.
Hey Dimox,
thank you for the brilliant theme and plugin.
I have a quick question, I am trying to move the nav bar that has “Home – Privacy Policy – Submission Guidelines – Terms of Service ect….” that is below the logo, I am trying to move it to the right, is there any way you could shed some light on what I would need to change in the css to get it done, I’ve been playing around with it but have had no luck.
(P.s. If you look at my email, you will be able to see the domain I am using)
Regards,
Jason
Hi,
I was just wondering how you add a background the same way it has been done here?
thanks
Jason,
Place your background image file in the i folder and edit your css to be
background: #xxxxxx url(i/xxx.xxx); where xxx.xxx is the image file
Just found a problem. When I do a search on the search form on my article directory, I get redirected to this site. How do I fix this? I know its probably something in the search.php but what?
Niche Volumes, check the code of search form in header.php. There for some reason a link to this site.
