Anyone Use Thesis Wordpress theme?

[rabil]

Hi everyone,

I had a few questions regarding the thesis theme for wordpress. I am currently using version 1.6.

I don't much php and coding and stuff and i need some help customizing the thesis theme. I have heard something about "hooks" in thesis and it is said that you can easily customize the theme using those hooks.

Anyone help in this? i want a custom heading (i might add a logo). How can that be done?

Thanks

i like how the thesis people say "you can easily add hooks" or "you can easily edit your CSS" --> which means you need to know PHP programming and/or CSS coding.

Thesis is a nice theme, but real customization needs IN DEPTH "hacking".

Googling helps a bit:

How to Add your own Logo in Thesis Theme?

Its NOT easy if you are not a programmer. And no, thesis is not THAT great as people make it sound, i said something about this yesterday already. There are other themes which are FAR easier to configure.

Edit: And yes..that "feature box" or whatever it is..does NOTHING. Do me a favor, get flexibility theme or any other theme, get platinum seo plugin...you will have the SAME SEO functionality and...wow..you can add logos and boxes without needing to be a programmer. Thesis is overhyped and for the features (or better: lack thereof) extremely overpriced.

hi there. you can use THESIS OPENHOOK. search it on google (i can't yet publish a link)
it is easy to use it. hope this helps.
You can edit the custom.css and look for the logo:

custom #header #logo a { display: block; height: 80px; width: 410px; background: url(images/header.png) no-repeat; outline: none; }
.custom #header #logo, .custom #header #tagline { text-indent: -9999px; }
.custom #header #tagline { height: 0; } .custom #header { padding: 0; }
.custom #header {border-bottom:none;background-color : transparent; }
.custom #header_area .page {padding-top:0;}
.custom #header {height:80px;/*background: #333 url('images/bg-body.png') no-repeat; background-position:bottom right; border-bottom:none;}

hope this helps.

Hi there,

As Tayomismo has said, the Thesis OpenHook plugin makes using hooks a heck of a lot easier.

WRT to your header it's not clear exactly how you want to achieve this, but what I do is create and upload a header graphic and then add the URL as a background to the header div. So the CSS in the custom.css file looks like this:

.custom #header { background: #FFFFFF url(http://location-of-header.jpg) repeat scroll center; }

You'll need to specify a minimum height for the #header div, and that will be the height of your image.

That's all you need if you create the header you want in an image.

Cheers,

Martin.
