I want to exclude few categories from tabbed categories shown in Minaflow theme. How do I do that?
hi Navjot
you can exlude the category by replacing the $cat_category in tab-category.php with this new code line
$cat_category = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id,name,description,count FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy LEFT JOIN $wpdb->terms ON $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = $wpdb->terms.term_id WHERE count != '0' AND taxonomy = 'category' AND parent = '0' AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id NOT IN (49,62) GROUP BY $wpdb->terms.name ORDER by $wpdb->term_taxonomy.count DESC");you can insert the category id you want to exclude in (49,62) line.
Thanks that worked for me.
One more question…currently it shows a default thumbnail on the homepage. I want to modify it such that it does not show any thumbnail if not available and show only if available for both posts on homepage and on tab-category.
work like charm
Found one more problem…The Big RSS Button on Single Post page should read Subscribe to RSS Feeds not Subscribes to RSS Feeds.
Thanks, just the theme i looking for
Hi Michael..can I put a Featured Posts on top of all the posts in the home page?? Can you help me with how to do it??
Thanks.
PS: Extremely awesome theme..
Additionally, What can I do if I do not want to display the tab categories??
LOVE YOUR WORK! and thanks for the free word press theme. Is there a way I can REMOVE the Bingo and Free Bingo and the free webpress by on the bottom footer? I will pay! I love your site so much, but fear that others may find this suspicious. Any advise help is so much appreciated!
I would also like the answer to this question. I am certainly willing to leave the link that shows you as the author, but I WILL NOT use the theme if I am forced to advertise BINGO on my sites. Not only is Bingo seen as a tacky old fogie gambling game, but this is not appropriate for a lot of blogs out there.
Please tell us how to REMOVE the Bingo Links. Thanks.
How do I remove the thumbnails from posting on the mail page? I want the first image in the post to display on the main blog page and not Colin Powell’s picture. Thanks!
Hai Shannon. Thanks for using Minaflow theme. The theme will automatically extract the attached image on post to display as thumb on frontpage. If no attached image, it will use the default = Colin Powell’s picture..
Alternatively, you can set your own image by using custom field “feat-img” or change the default.jpg into your own image for default purpose. Please make sure you name it “default.jpg” too..
Hi,
How do I replace the title for a logo?
Hai Filot. Thanks for using Minaflow theme. If you want to use your own logo for the title. Just open the header.php and uncomment the appropriate code inside.
Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the great theme. Love it.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but I am not able to activate the twitter icon on the top beside the RSS icon. I entered the twitterID and saved the changes but when I try to click on the twitter icon, nothing comes up as if there is no hyperlink. The RSS icon works fine. Please help!
Gaurav
PS: I cannot click on the twitter icon on the demo site as well.
Also, is it possible to display the wordpress categories in the tabbed header instead of the pages in wordpress. e.g. Blogging, Wordpress. Also, I could not understand what you meant by (49,62) in the comment above to exclude the categories. I checked the line 49 and 62 in the file but could not understand. I would greatly appreciate any help.
If you want to show ‘Categories’ instead of ‘Pages’ on the top header navigation. Just open the header.php, change the:
wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=0′);
to
wp_list_categories(’orderby=id&title_li=’);
The 49,62 are not lines on source code. They are category ID, you can find out your category ID by going to wp-admin > posts > categories, move your mouse over any category, you’ll see the cat_ID over your status bar..
Feel free to let me know the result..Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your help Micheal. That worked for me. Learned a new thing today. You are awesome!!! Thanks again for the lovely theme.
Regards
Gaurav
Hai Gaurav. Thanks for using Minaflow theme. The Twitter icon is not coded for clickable, the only hyperlink on the twitter is ‘x days’.
I want to say I really love your MinaFlow, especially I really like the bird icon. The color is very bright and clean. It is very nice.
After I read Gaurav’s replies and yours, I understand there is no specific twitter link on that bird icon, like it does have a RSS link. I am aware that the twitter link after the status is based on x days.
I was just simply wondering if it is possible to add the direct link of my twitter page point to the bird icon? If so, do you know how to do it by any chance? I was going to use ‘#htwitter’ in the style.css but realize that I do not know how to point to the right area for just bird icon.
My blog is a bit outdated. I hadn’t posted any entries since February. I am about to revive it again, but I need to do some header title work, like creating a logo, and other things that I need to add on the blog. (That is nothing for you to be concerned about, but I will ask if I encounter a problem). I am pretty doing so far.
Oh, before I post my comment, I just remembered that I would like to show the content excerpt (like summary, and read more) like it was done in your demo for the post entries in the TabCategory. Unfortunately, I couldn’t recognize anywhere in TabCategory php. I also would like the TabCategory go wide from the left to right. Or perhaps, I would want move TabCategory to be centered on the bottom, something like that I could make it look good and not leave too much empty space, you know…. Is it possible?
I hope I don’t ask too much of you. Your help would be great!
Thank you.
hi there! love your template, but i have a question though; is it possible to put adsense code on individual posts? how should i do this? your help will greatly appreciated. Cheers! =D
one more thing, I really want a custom image for my posts and not the “collin powell” image; can you give me the exact steps on how to do this (change the “powell” image with my custom images)? Im new with wordpress so i really need all the help that i can get =D thanks in advance! =D more power!

Hi Micheal, I want to thank you very much for this beautiful template. I have been using it for my new site the last 4 weeks or so.
I do have 2 questioins. What can I do to move or switch the sidebar to the middle and the middle to the right sidebar?
Also, for dropdown menu for the header, I have looked for a plugin to do so and found it somewhat frustrating to do so. Would you recommend a way to make a dropdown menu? Currently I have 4 and afraid to add more. Thank you for your time to read.
I hope to hear back from you.
Tien

i want to show ‘Categories’ instead of ‘Pages’ on the top header navigation(header.php).. i have changed
wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=0′);
to
wp_list_categories(’orderby=id&title_li=’);
still its not working any other changes i have to make ..
pls help me
hello sara, it should work with the wp_list_categories() you showed.
replace this line code:
<?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=1′); ?>
with this new code:
<?php wp_list_categories(’orderby=id&title_li=’); ?>
<style>
ul.page-nav .children {
display: none;
}
</style>
the child category will be hide since it will break the nav.
try it out ok
Thanks, just the theme i looking for
really nice theme,
Hi Micheal,
The theme is absolutely awesome, and thank you for sharing it for free.
as to the twitter thing not working, can the following code be inserted
in your header.php?
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/”>Recent twitter entries…
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/”>follow me on twitter
<a href="”>subscribe to rss feed
thanks a lot for helping out with it
Love the Minaflow theme and would like to use it here at a new school for first year teacher and freshmen class blogs.
Would like to eliminate the categories large rectanagular boxes that appear at the bottom of the home page (not the categories links in the footer).
How might I accomplish this?
Looked through the index.php and css files and can’t figure out where it is.
Hello I have a plugin SyntaxHighlighter Plus he is not working properly with the theme, the code only appears in a frame. But some how to solve the problem?
Hola a Todos lindo blog demo
Hi Micheal,
I’m new to wordpress. I downloaden the Minaflower theme and want to use this for my new website.
Question:
How can I rename the HOME page and move is to . I’d like to use the Home for info about me (as a fixed page). Now it is a page for posts. Is it possible to rename into Posts and have in shown on another tab?
For example: Home(webpage) About(Webpage) Posts(Current homepage of template)
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Marco de Hooge
you could replace the <ul id="dropdown"> in header.php with this new code
<ul id="dropmenu">
<li><a href="yoursite.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="yoursite.com/about">About</a></li>
<li id="<?php if (is_home()) { ?>home<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>" title="Posts Home">Posts</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=0′); ?>
</ul>
that should add 2 new nav and maintain the wp-pages
Nice Design, The large ads place i like.

Micheal,
I want to use your template for a client who has very specific requirements on what I can and cannot do to promote them online.
I love your template and have begun to customize it.
How can I eliminate the BINGO link in the footer. The client will not allow this link.
How can I edit the footer to add a script like Ultimate Footer AD or Slide Up FXM?
How can I add tabs to the Top Navigation Tabs? I want them to read from left to right:
Free Korean Revisit – Home
About FreeKoreanTour.org
FAQs
Book Now – Korea Tour
Korean Revisit Gallery
Thank you,
Barry
Micheal,
I have installed your free theme. I love the way it looks.
I attempted to upload several photos into the tab/page labeled “Korean Revisit Gallery.”
The following error message dislplayed:
Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/FreeKoreanTour.org/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2010/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Please tell me how to fix this error so that I may upload photos to http://www.FreeKoreanTour.org
