hi there,
your theme looks really good. i would like to know if it’s possible to have adsense up at the top as part of the header, and if so, how to do it.
Verdiene Geld | 5/08/08 #
Nice free template - I think I am going to add some rotation photo functionality.

Instead of Footer I am planning to move the QOT attribution to the side bar. Is that okay with you. I will attribute same as “QuickPress theme by Quick Online Tips”
Thanks,
Subash

Hi there, your them is excellent I would like to use it. I am slowly making my way around the formatting. I was wondering if I could change the bottle image and how would i do that?
Brad | 6/08/08 #
Arthur,
The bottle image SRC is noted near the top of the SIDEBAR.PHP file. It’s easy to simply remove that and replace it with an uploaded image or a remote image from another web server.
I have uploaded an image and fit it into my site at http://www.exgamer.net

There a thing called “TOO SIMPLE” :\ and thats what this theme is.. no offence but the header and pages are too simple.. try adding some effects.. its very lite so making it a little heavier won’t matter, i like the dual sidebars tho
B. | 7/08/08 #
Ibrahim,
It loads quickly and cleanly. That’s all I ask for a blog template. I’m very satisfied with it.
B. | 8/08/08 #
Why did you delete my question about error messages in the RSS feed?
QuickOnlineTips | 8/08/08 #
@B - Your comments are getting in the spam queue and might have been blocked and deleted by Akismet. Please post again and I shall mark it nospam.
BTW Themes do not cause problems with RSS feeds. Its is just a web design change. You need to check your wordpress core files in case they are missing or corrupted.

Hi,
I freely admit I don’t know enough about themes (yet), but I was wondering if/how I could add a logo into the header. I would likely replace the text and have the text embedded into an image.
Thanks in advance.
QuickOnlineTips | 9/08/08 #
Stephan@ - Simply remove the blog title (and / or description) in header.php and use your logo.
Suro Agung | 10/08/08 #
excellent, this theme very different from others.
Matt | 10/08/08 #
This is a brilliant theme! Well done.
Just wanted to let you know I’ve added it to http://www.bestwpthemes.com, a collection of the best of the best WordPress themes available today.
Sarah | 12/08/08 #
Since I am very new to the programming and web/blog design world i was wondering if could change the bottle image and how would i do that? Also if i wanted to make it a mini picture slideshow (picutre rotations) how could i do that? Thank so much for the theme and the help!
QuickOnlineTips | 12/08/08 #
Simple remove the image in sidebar.php while editing your design. There are many tools online which will allow your to rotate images and ads in that spot.
Stephan | 14/08/08 #
Hi again,
I was wondering how I would be able to change the post title colour. I have tried everything I can guess, but not sure where to put the line in.
Thanks in advance,
Stephan
QuickOnlineTips | 14/08/08 #
Edit style.css to change color. Post titles are styled with h1 tags on single posts and h2 on index and archive pages. When linked look for “h1 a”, and “h2 a”.

Where do I edit the top navigation that currently has links to home, wordpress and logout?
Great theme!
Susan | 15/08/08 #
Great theme! I’m trying to imbed audio and video on a Page and it’s stripping out my code on the HTML page. How do I get code in there for audio and video players as your inserts only allow for people to download my audio/video files instead of listening/watching online.
Thanks!
Anna | 16/08/08 #
After many days of spending time searching through all the wp-templates, I have decided to use your QuickPress WordPress Theme because it is user friendly and actually has a support forum. Thank you for making the template.
Can you tell me where I can edit the author’s information? I couldn’t find it in the theme editor.
Thanks,
Anna
Stephan | 16/08/08 #
Thanks again, your help has been terrific.
QuickOnlineTips | 16/08/08 #
Susan - TO edit top navigation, edit header.php and the links are within the div tags “topbar”. Change them to whatever you like.
Susan - When you link to direct audio / video files, it will lead to download. You need to embed a audio / video player. If you inserted embed video into a post, be sure to copy-paste and save in the HTML mode. That is a wordpress core feature and not template related.
Anna - Free support is a major feature of QuickPress. You have to edit the author information by editing the theme in sidebar.php and typing whatever text you want.

nice theme. Thank you for download free. I love it so much
Nancy | 20/08/08 #
Is there a way to make a post “stick” to the top of the home page, like a welcome post???
Tradencookies | 20/08/08 #
Is there a support forum or documentation for this theme?
Carl R. | 21/08/08 #
My apologies…I think I was missing the initial question…how do we add a logo? I know the answer was already asked, but I need a more “baby step” answer. I know I have to remove the text, but what is the code I put and where? The Header templet? An example of the code needed would be great. Thanks a million!
QuickOnlineTips | 21/08/08 #
Nancy - Put anything inside tags
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<?php } ?>
and will show only on index pages.
QuickOnlineTips | 21/08/08 #
Carl - In header.php, locate the
<a class=”blogtitle” href=”<?php echo get_option(’home’); ?>/”><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></a>
This is what links to the title. Change it with an image “img” tag and you are done.
Sarah | 22/08/08 #
Help! I accidentally made some changes to the html code while adding in a picture on the sidebar and now i do not know how to get the correct formatting back. Is there anyway I can get the beginning code for the sidebar again? or do you know how i can fix this as i am not very code savvy yet? Thank you so much!
QuickOnlineTips | 22/08/08 #
Sarah - Download QuickPress again and you will get the orginal files back.
Sarah | 22/08/08 #
Thank you! I know that seems like something I should have figured out on my own - sorry! I love your theme. Thank you so much for the support.
R. Harwood | 27/08/08 #
Best theme I’ve found so far!
Question: I want the sidebar navigation to show main pages only, not child pages. How do I change the code to arrange that?

Ben | 1/09/08 #
I’ve been using your theme for several of my blogs, but I now notice that none of my pages appear in Google, except the main page of one blog. The privacy settings are set accordingly, and I also use the XML Sitemap plugin. Could you please help me?
Thanks!
QuickOnlineTips | 1/09/08 #
Ben - Its is not theme related. Check the Google Webmaster Tools for the problem.
QuickOnlineTips | 1/09/08 #
Vikram - I see you ads well on all pages. Clear the cache.
Ben | 2/09/08 #
Thanks!
Matthijs | 3/09/08 #
Wonderfull theme!
However, when I try to change to background of the sidebar it is clearly visible that the sidebar isn’t of equal size of the post…
Any suggestions on how to change that?
js | 5/09/08 #
How do we create an icon that will appear in address bar?
Denis | 6/09/08 #
nice template thanx for u..)))))
QuickOnlineTips | 6/09/08 #
@Matthijs - you can easily change adjust the width of sidebar, l_sidebar, r_sidebar tags in style.css to change the width as you want.
@js- that is a favicon. You need to create it and upload to your server at the root.
