Hi

First of all, thanks for this great theme, we switched from a previous one, and we almost agreed to buy the pro version. We have a child theme where we did little modifications. Anyways we have a few questions:

-For the moment whe like to use excerpt option instead of show full content option because we like the feature that the thumbnail is automatically added and if u click on it on index it links to the post. Inside the post we use the same image and we like that if u click on it shows you the full image to download it or whatever. But we want a “continue reading” link like in show full content option. I tried to add it via content.php file but i failed on every attempt. Is there anyway to add it on show excerpt option via php?

-Our buddypress member profile pages seem to take the 404 page template or a similar instead of a normal page template and its displayed full content with the sidebar below it, cannot select template for that on buddypress options. How can i change this via css or page templates? Maybe i must ask this on buddypress forums, i don´t know. Sorry if i am asking on wrong site.

Sorry for my bad english and the wall-text, and thanks for your attention

@MasterManiacs: If you use Full Content mode and want to break the content and use Continue reading. Then you need to break your post content using more tag <!--more-->. Read this http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

About the buddypress, this theme is not yet ready for buddypress. Not all theme are compatible with BuddyPress. Let me know what are you trying to do it and I will check in if that is possible with css or need to build child theme and edit it.

Hi again

For the continue reading thing it is displayed well on full content mode but i want to add it in excerpt mode where is it disabled, can i add it modifying content.php file? if yes, how?

About the buddypress member profile page what i want to do is to make the content width shorter and add the sidebar on the right of it, instead of below where it is now.

Thanks for ur support

@MasterManiacs: Hum… The Excerpt Mode should display Continue Reading like in our demo page http://catchthemes.com/demo/catchbox/. I see the case in your site. If you look at your posts, you have split the content with more tag. So, the excerpt will only display the text before that more tag. Then you have setup excerpt length in words at “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt Length in Words”. So, the system check for excerpt length, if that excerpt length is less that what is define in “Excerpt Length in Words” then it will not display “Continue Reading”. So, either remove that more tag in your posts or reduce the number of words.

2. For your buddypress, you can try adding in the following css in “Appearance => theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

.buddypress.fullwidth #primary {
    margin: 0;
    width: 68%;
}
.buddypress.fullwidth #secondary {
    margin: 0 2% 0 0;
    width: 30%;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 960px) {
    .buddypress.fullwidth #primary {
        width: 100%;
    }
    .buddypress.fullwidth #secondary {
        clear: both;
        float: none;
        margin: 0;
        width: 100%;
    }
    .buddypress.fullwidth #secondary .widget {
        margin: 0 3% 2em;
    }
}

Hi @Sakin

1. Nice, didn´t know the excerpt lenght in words trick. With that info i will manage to customize as i desired.

2. Managed to edit buddypres members profile as i wanted by CSS. Everything OK now.

All the questions solved, thanks for your great support and quick responses

Best wishes
