Update History

  • Version 1.5.7 Fixes issue with Admin Bar not being displayed
  • Version 1.5.6 Adds some CSS3 for browsers that support it and Christmas Colored menu bar.
  • Version 1.5.5 Small errors, nothing major.
  • Version 1.5.0 Is a huge leap forward using the Adventure+ code, a premium version of this theme with more features. Be sure to check out the “theme options” where you can change the link colors and choose from five different menu bars.
  • Version 1.4.6  Added some code for browsers that support it to perfectly stretch the background image. I still recommend that you have a 1920by1080 image for browsers that don’t support it.
  • Version 1.4.5 Minor fixes
  • Version 1.4.4 Fixed a problem with IE6 improperly resizing images (min/max Height/width error) and due to those limitations images can’t be re-sized in IE6 only.
  • Version 1.4.3 Fixed 404 error page issues, I have done the best I can with the menu bar on IE 6 browser, Title in bottom bar changes color when hovering.
  • Version 1.4.2 Fixes an issue when you have to many links in the bottom bar where the link would disappear entirely if you had to many. Now the slogan goes first, then the title, and finally the links one by one.
  • Version 1.4.1 Changes the post back to the original style of posting used instead of first 55 words
  • Version 1.4.0 Adds support for custom backgrounds in WordPress Admin “Appearance” and also “Featured Images” to posts.

FAQ

How to disable or enable Comments and Trackbacks/Pingbacks - It is a simple thing to do for either a post or pages. First ensure that “Discussion” is checked mark by going to “edit post (or Page)” then in the upper right corner click on “screen options”  and finally make sure that the option “Discussion” is checked marked, if not check mark it. Then a new box should appear at the bottom if it wasn’t already there in the first place. The box is labeled “Discussion” and has 2 option inside it, “Allow Comments.” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.” If the marks are checked, comments and pingbacks/trackbacks are enable and people can comment or link post/pages to this one. So if you want to disable them simply deselect the the boxes, or to enable select the boxes and saves the post/page.

Any plans or is there a method to rotate a scheduled background image other than manual?

    I’m trying to do just that, but the only way to do it is hack and slash method that ends in a result I’m not going to publish. But if I figure it out with code that is clean, it will be include in both versions.

Hi. I really like the Adventure theme. I just have one small issue and I’ve looked everywhere for an answer. On my home page, I would like to make the title disappear. With a lot of themes one can add some code to the page.php or loop.php to accomplish this, but Adventure doesn’t have either. Can you please suggest an alternative solution? As far as I’m concerned, all of the titles on all of the pages can disappear. Thanks in advance!

    Well, if you can figure it out all the power to you (hint look in index), but If you pick up premium version “Adventure+” I’ll easily give you the code or show you, which every you prefer.

Hello,

I would like to use your 1.4.6. plus addition. I currently have the standard edition loaded. My only concern is that the pages and posts will be hard to read against the backround that I have selected. Will I be able to either make the script lighter, or lighten the posts and pages so that there is a greater contrast between the pages and posts and the backround picture?

Thanks for your help.

I am playing with you theme on a dev account and would like to make the text more readable in terms of the color. I assume it’s only a matter of changing the css. Please confirm that the color changes for the text are made there.

    This is something you need to do outside of all the code, using a photo editor. YOu need to keep in mind that many computer will have resolution up to 1920 by 1080 pixels which is why recommended that size a minimum for background photos.

HI,

I am using you beautiful theme now and I have to say Thank you. But i have a problem with my lightbox plugin when using the theme because the white background of the image that i posted or what we call the “overlay” (i guess, if i am not mistaken) is too big than the usual result of the lightbox plugin.When I tried other themes it works perfectly (but i don’t want to use that other themes). Is there a need to change? You can visit my site for you to see what i mean (http://www.allaboutglenn.com/) and click the first photo.

Thanks in advance. :)

    I just looked into it and I don’t think it is an error with my coding, it has to do with resizing of the image. All the other photos work just fine on your website with proper spacing. What seems to be happen is that lightbox is getting the original image size and building a box based on those bigger dimension as apposed to the smaller dimensions. I would try redoing the post and make sure to do whatever you did to post the photo’s similar to the ones with your V-TEC Civic. If that doesn’t work I look into it more.

        Hey I think the error has to do with some code I wrote so that if someone puts an image that is to big into the post that the code re-sizes it so that it fits properly and this ability is bleeding over into the plugin, if want I’ll look into it further I will.

    Yes you can change the background, it is built into the code so that you can change it all the time by your self in the WordPress admin section under “Appearance” which you find the page label “Background.”

      No don’t want to do a custom mod. Would lock us into never doing the updates to the theme (as it would go away each time). Just wanted to bring it up as a feature you might want to support. Other than this it isa xtremely nice theme. If we stick with it (just getting started) we’ll gladly donate a little something for what is obviously a good bit of work for you. Keep up the good work.

Hi there and thanks for at beautiful theme
I have the biggest newbie question ever: How do I rate your theme? I’ve used WordPress for a long time but I’ve never rated plugins or themes and I just don’t know how to do it. I’ve of course visited http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/adventure but even though I’m logged in, I can’t seem to vote anywhere. I can see the four stars from the average rating, but there’s no stars or anything below “Your rating”.

It’s probably just me who’s missed something totally obvious so please bear with me! :-D

Hello. My cousin and I will be canoeing from Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico in August. We want to set up a site like, whereskarl.com. Any suggestions on a wordpress theme for that? God Bless.

    Ben,

    Thanks for visiting my website and trusting my opinion. I have gone to http://whereskarl.com and gone through the entire website and looked at everything on there. I though that running the entire trail Appalachian Trail in record time was really cool. Now I’m not sure how much you want me help with setting up the website, or simply choosing a theme, but I can defiantly help you out. I would be glad if you choose my theme “Adventure,” change up the background, and run with it. Now if you are looking for me to just modify my theme “Adventure” so that is is the same layout as the “Where’s Karl” website, it wouldn’t be much of a problem for me either. Also any theme on WordPress.org would work fine, I really don’t have any favorites besides my own and possibly “Adventure Journal.”

    Now I’m guessing that you know how to setup WordPress fine biased on your link, but if you need help just ask because there is so many things to know when running WordPress.

    Also I’m not sure if you know this but if you have an Android or iPhone that you can log into your website while canoeing the trip and write, post, manage comments, and more from your cell phone. I only mention it so that you don’t have to bring with bulky laptops or what ever you plan to blog about while on the trip.

I truly hate to seem like I’m nitpicking, BUT …

you should change the line “you get the feeling that your looking out a window” to:

“you get the feeling that you’re looking out a window”.

Obviously, “you’re” is a contraction for “you are”.

Thanks for the work on the theme.
