What is easier was making use of a great script written and polished by Darren Hoyt. I can understand that timthumb may not be for everyone, but I have used it in a few different projects and liked the results. There are pros and cons to any proposed solution.

So yes, I could have included a snippet of code in functions.php – something like what Raul had recommended in a comment.

I like the idea, but the generated images are up to four times the size of my original lead_image, although I set q=20 (which doesn’t change the files size much compared to 75).

Wouldn’t it be easier to include a different function just to resize and crop the lead_image to make it fit into the secondary_image slot?

Sorry, you beat me to it Derek. The theme files are updated on my server and I can edit them now. I like being able to restore a copy of my stylesheets to quickly restore my changes when the theme is updated. And you’ve done a great job of that!

The first item is incorrect, the file manager has now updated on my server.

If your theme files are writeable on the server, you can make all of the changes you’ve mentioned directly from within the Admin Dashboard. The “separate elements” you speak of are all in the editor. WordPress often adds its own title before the actual filename. Example: Main Index Template (index.php).

You can still create your own custom files and upload them directly to the theme directory overwriting the originals. Or, using your FTP client, open files directly on the server. All the files – php & css – are all there in the root theme directory so I’m not really understanding what you’re having issues with finding them.

To remove the border radius from comments, open style.css (in the Admin Dashboard or via your FTP client and look for:

.post-comments a { -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 3px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 3px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; background: #fff; border: 1px solid #ddd; color: #555; display: block; font-size: 0.8em; padding: 7px; text-align: center; }

Remove the -moz* and -webkit and save. Rounded corners on the comment tabs will be gone.

Re: the widget instructions, I can not begin to explain how often people emailed in asking where they could configure the proper widgets for the theme. If you want to remove that instructional text, open footer.php and delete the following between the else & endif:

Configure Widgets

I know you just can’t please some people, but I preferred your 1.1.6 iteration because it was easier for me to customize.

-in my file manager, the separate elements of the theme don’t show. soI can’t just edit the css file and upload it – same with the php components. Where’d they go?

-I would like to restore the previous look of the comments on =home posts but can’t remove the .moz radius rounded corners easily – the fixes I’ve done cause problems with the titles, etc. FAQ anywhere?

-Unable to change shared footer in widgets and remove your instructions.

I like that you can use an image in the sitename though –

Noted our conversation via email. If I can reproduce, or if anyone else is experiencing the same issues, I’ll make sure to post a solution on the downloads page. Yours was the first report of this type so far.

I’m just starting to do UI design, and, while my MSPaint skills are top-notch, I could really use a time-saving and feature-rich program to speed up and optimize the process. thanks
