Testimnoials
I love the OneNews theme! Actually, I loved it so much that I bought it and am using it on my newly launched site – Gururls.
Here’s how your OneNews theme helped me out…
Getting the idea: $0 dollars
Registering the domain: $9 dollars
Buying the OneNews theme: $59 dollars
Saving copious amounts of time, launching uberfast and not pulling out all my hair: Priceless.
My client asks for a news aggregation site – World Crude Report. I spend 25 hours in WordPress, then move to Joomla! for another 13 hours, and still can’t get what I want… I don’t buy stuff I can do–ever, but obviously I can’t do this. I purchased this template, and got it up and running in no time at all.
I love the theme so far – saving time is 100% worth the price… It is a “popurls” for the US inauguration.

Tips & Tricks
The theme is not displaying correctly e.g no styling, blank.
Check that all files have a permission of 644/666 and folders(both the main onenewspremium folder and subfolders) have a permission of 755/777.
See how to change directory permissions.
Error: Cache directory is not writable.
Ensure that the cache directory (wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/cache) permission is set to 755/777.
See how to change directory permissions.
Error: A feed is displaying blank in the widget or cannot be found.
While SimplePie is pretty robust, there are times when some feeds will choke it. The solution is to use FeedBuner or Yahoo Pipes to burn the feed first and use their feed link instead.
How can I improve the performance?
Besides enabling feeds cache and increasing the cache duration in the theme options, you can also install WP-Cache or WP Super Cache for even faster performance.
Any other recommended plugins?
While these plugins are not required, they are quite useful for this theme.
- RSS Includes Pages Plugin for pinging your pages
- Widgets Profiles for saving your widgets configuration
The feed items is displaying in random order, e.g not sorted by order
Try disabling the “enable_order_by_date” option. Go to http://your_own_domain.com/wp-admin/options.php and change simplepie_enable_order_by_date to 0.

what if I want to combine a bunch of feeds into one main feed. basically like techmeme.com, anyone have any ideas? I’ve got a decent start but I’d appreciate some help.
Thanks!

Hi,
When I’m trying to activate the plugin I get the following message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SimplePie in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/onenews/includes/simplepie.inc on line 382
How may I fix this?
Thanks,
Tarz
This theme doesn’t require any plugin. If you have the simplepie plugin, simply deactivate it.
did the same thing. Wasn’t able to establish an RSS feed of the site. I think in the install (several times) I kept getting a notice “not a valid stream resource”…. so I installed Simple Pie Plugin… Fatal error. ..
But I continue to have problems with the functions.php lines 4168, 4171, and 4165 calling for invalid stream resource…
Hmm.. the onenews functions.php file doesn’t have that many lines. Also the simple pie plugin is not required so you should disable it.
What’s the feed url giving the problem? Would be good if you can provide your blog url too.
Hi,
I just picked up the theme. I want to know in your next update, if you could provide a feature, where instead of 6 videos/photos, we could 4 and keep the remaining space for a banner ad. You can see it in popurls, next to the flickr images.
Please comment.
I did consider that option before release but realised that there are too many unpredictable variables involved. So came up with the optional html field in the textRSS widget instead.
If you don’t mind hard coding, it can be still be done by adding the following code to the full-width OneNews HTML widget
Also near line 311 in style.css & styleb.css, change
to
On another note, to “level” the headings on your site: in style.css and styleb.css, add height:15px to the .news-entry h2 such as below.
Can you explain exactly what file to place it in and exactly where to place it?
I’m having a lot of trouble figuring it out.
I really appreciate all your hard work thank you!
NEVER MIND!!! I’m a retard. I figured it out hhahaha! THANK YOU YOU ARE AWESOME!
ALSO is there a way to put an rss feed beside the pictures instead of the add?
Replace “Your Ad Code Here (300×250)” with
<?php
echo SimplePieWP('http://yourdomain.com', array(
'items' => 8,
'template' => 'textrss',
));
?>
Can You show me what I’m doing wrong? I placed this whole code in the html widget but it messed up. I’m trying to get the RSS on the left and PHOTOS on the right.
HERE IS MY SITE: http://culinaryjunkies.com/news/
Thank you for everything!
This should work.
<div style="width:625px;float:right;">

I’m using this awesome theme at http://www.wpthemesnews.com.
I customized the design to fit my needs and it’s doing pretty well.
Really easy to use !
Thanks Genkisan !
Note, this theme works briefly with WPMU then fails, using it will yield a blank white screen after several days – does not work with WPMU.
@alltop: very strange… I had onenews premium running on a WPMU install for a while, without a glitch- It was a good way to have a sort-off alltop functionality too, by creating a new blog/sub-domain per theme and then customizing it. Worked very nicely on a pristine WPMU install.
When Genkisan came up with the new “alltop” option in onenews premium, though, I converted back to the old, traditional WP install. One advantage is that options are now kept for every onenews page consistently (with WPMU, if you had, say, your background set to black in one blog it could be white in another).
But the main reason I switched back to a single WP install was the license: I’m not really sure that the use of onenews premium single license is correct in the case of a WPMU installation. After all, WPMU is all about multiple, independent sites… Whoops! I guess the cat is out of the bag now…
Well, in conclusion for the curious: onenews seems to work just fine with WPMU, but you should most probably consider the multi-licence option in that case.
Hi,
I recently purchased the premium edition of the template but get the following error when activating it.
Warning: /home/wotnstv/public_html/headlines/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/cache/83019d3cfa0bd090fc02f7da4cebef58.spc is not writeable in /home/wotnstv/public_html/headlines/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc on line 1770
How do I fix this?
Thanks
Try to delete all the spc files in the cache folder. Also set the cache folder permission to 755 or 777.
Did a fresh reinstall of wordpress, and put the onenewspremium files into wp-content/themes/ folder prior to uploading (along with default and classic which are already there).
Classic and Default themes work fine, but upon activating OneNewsPremium I get “The SimplePie template file is not readable by WordPress.” (Uploaded using Cyberduck FTP in MacOSX)
I still do not understand why it’s not readable. I thought it was a permission problem, as you said Genkisan — but now I’m not so sure.
Confused…
Im at a loss completely, tried everything i can think of to get around the problem:
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/pers/public_html/news/wp-content/themes/onenews/includes/processing/none.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/pers/public_html/news/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php on line 896

Mind sharing your blog url?
sure – persp icac ious.co.uk/news
Try logging in to persp icac ious.co.uk/news/wp-admin/options.php
Find the 3 options below, clear their values and click “Save Changes”
- simplepie_processing
- simplepie_set_cache_location
- simplepie_template
This worked for me, thanks. It was after I moved from a development server to the production server.
Hello,
Does the script have the ability to NOT display feeds that have an error? and NOT display feeds whose site have not posted in x number of days?
Thanks,
Paul
Feeds with error: display blank
Feeds not posted in x number of days: not supported
Hi
Does this have the ability to make content pages or archives of older feed content or is this just able to display the latest feed content ?
Just able to display the latest feed content.

GREAT TEMP
Is it possible to list the alphabetical pages horizontally instead vertically
e.g.
When you add the Alphabet Widget – it list the pages vertically
A
B
C
D
I need them to go across the top of the page.
A B C D E F G . etc.
I’m afraid not. You can try hard-coding and paste the html into the HTML widget instead.
Solved
Hacked – “Sticky Menu” to solve the prob thanks
Hey could you please link me to the “Hacked – ‘Sticky Menu’”?
http://www.ditii.com/2007/06/22/sticky-menu-plugin/
Hi Genkisan,
How would I add traditional blogging functionality back into to my OneNews-based site? If I create posts rather than pages, where do they go?
Also, what is the sideblog? How do I set that up?
Thanks,
Dave Cadoff
Guru Wrangler of Gururls
Simply make a post as normal. Then you can use a category widget or recent post widget in the bottombar for your visitors to access the posts. Like I did for my bottombar at http://ericulous.com/onenews/
It’s not displaying my feed entries in an ordered list. The raw feed itself DOES display the entries in the proper order, however when I set them up in the theme, they are put out of order in the exact same way.
An example of a feed I’m testing is this: http://www.amazon.com/rss/bestsellers/music/ref=pd_ts_rss_link
It’s setup as a Top 10 list, however when I place it in my testing site, the entries come up in random order. However note that it’s the SAME random order for each feed inserted which is odd to me.
Try disabling the “enable_order_by_date” option. Open simple_wordpress_2.php file and edit line 911
$feed->enable_order_by_date($enable_order_by_date);
change to
$feed->enable_order_by_date(false);
It worked! Man, thanks for the speedy reply! I have no idea why the feeds themselves would order out of whack even though they’re posted on the same date/time.
Thanks! Again, great work here – a very VERY useful theme indeed.
Thanks for the great theme.
1. I am using the premium version and keep getting the same error on any additional pages that I try to add:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/newschom/public_html/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/page_onenews.php on line 27
see: http://newschomper.com/technology-news/
2. where do I edit code to add my own logo?
Thx
Drew
1. Try re-uploading the original page_onenews.php file.
2. In header.php, uncomment line 58 and delete line 59-62.
<div id="logo"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>" title="Home"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="Home" /></a></div>
Remember to upload your logo.gif to the theme images folder. May also need to edit both style.css/styleb.css line 38 to adjust the logo position.
Hi,
Nice job on the OneNews Theme. Quality stuff. I have it working OK so far but for the life of me I can not figure out how to get a custom search for Stumbleupon.com. Can you help me out?

Thanks,
Adam
Stumbleupon sure makes it tough, have to google for it and the options seems limited, only by individual user.

Hi again,
What do you recommend for rss feeds from youtube?
YouTube feeds available here and here
I purchased your premium theme. How can I default it to the darker/black background?
Rename styleb.css to style.css and vice versa.
Understandable – you could open a “getsatisfaction” account and let the customers try to help other customers? I’d pitch in. I love the theme so far – saving time is 100% worth the price.
I’m not sure if you have a showcase for themes that have been created with it but here is the first (need to upgrade). It is a “popurls” for the upcoming US inauguration…
http://www.twinauguration.com
I had toyed with the idea of a forum but aborted as moderating forums can be a chore.
I realised that Google is only indexing the headlines of the rss feeds, but not the text that goes with it. Any suggestios how to change this?
As the mouseover text is stored in the anchor title text, it is not indexed by google. Storing the text in a hidden div will probably result in penalization by google. Anyone with an ideal workaround?
great theme …! what your opinion about the seo
You can use this theme on its own or install another blog in http://your-domain.com/subdir. Then you can easily setup pages with your targeted keywords, which should be boost your seo.
why don’t you return your emails?
why is my website http://www.iphoneftw.com broken?
I understand you may be eager to fix things but I’m not on 24×7 standby support. And it’s only been 15 hours since your last mail, not like 15 days.
As you have moved to a new server, the server path has probably changed. Since you can’t login to the admin, you have to edit the database directly (phpmyadmin recommended). In the wp_options table, look for the following 3 option_name and delete their option_value
- simplepie_processing
- simplepie_set_cache_location
- simplepie_template
You’re right, I did recently move to a dedicated server
thanks! that got rid of the errors, but now only half of the page shows up. . .and I still get a 500 internal server error when I try to login via the admin panel
sorry about being impatient. i have internet-ocd. so even the smallest image that is mis-aligned bugs me(and continues more and more until I fix it).
I make a living online, and tend to answer support critical emails within the hour. It’s hard for me to understand that other people don’t do the same(again, I’m very sorry).
I’m not sure what’s the problem but try any or all of the following
- rename your .htaccess (if after renaming works, then the settings in there is wrong)
- switch between php4 and php5
- search through the database for your old server path and replace with your new server path
- delete all files in the /themes/onenewspremium/includes/cache folder
- rename your wp-content/plugins to confirm that it’s not plugins problem
Getting closer. The htaccess, cache, and switching to php5 fixed the 500 ISE and it stopping half way through the page. . .but if you look now http://www.iphoneftw.com/ – for some reason the middle spots are blank.
I re-added the top widget, to see if it continued to do that, and sadly it kept the digg one blank
I guess I will just wipe out the database and directory and start over, fresh.(unless you have any other suggestions).
Real weird. One last shot before reinstallation.
- clear wp-super-cache and disable the plugin
*Edit: I’m seeing all feeds now. Perhaps just pure coincidence that those feeds are down?
hey, that worked!
you’re the man genkisan :p
After some minor modifications, my site is up and running. Thanks a lot Geniksan for the great work! If somebody could come up with a workaround that Google indexes also the text of the various feeds it would be fantastic.
Me again. I’m having a funny problem. When I’m using a Top 10 feed from Amazon or iTunes (1. Product, 2. Product, ……10. Product), the order of the feed seems to be random (7. Product, 3. Product…..8. Product) instead of showing 1-10 as it does when I look at the feed in IE and FF. Any clue how to tackle this?
Try this hack
Hi there,
I tried the rss widget (instead of the “OneNews textRSS” one) as i like the way that widget shows the summary under the title. However, it shows up in the individual left column only with a lot of empty space within the other middle and right columns i.e. it doesn’t go the full width.
Is there a way to put the rss widgets within the middle and right column as well? i.e. have 3 rss widgets shown at the same time in all three columns just like the “OneNews textrss” widget
Is there a way to change the rss widget such that it goes the full width?
It would be easier to edit the OneNews textRSS widget to display the summary. In textrss.tmpl, look for
{ITEM_TITLE}</a>
and replace with
{ITEM_TITLE}</a><br>{TRUNCATE_ITEM_DESCRIPTION}
thanks! if the description is under the title, will google bot see that and rank within its search engine or will it just see the title (as before).
is there a way to parse the collected feeds into one rss feed i.e. just like techmeme does. in other words create a feed of a bunch of feeds. right now, my feed just shows an empty “hello world” article.
Googlebot should see the description text.
You can combined the feeds using yahoo pipes.
@Genikisan
Is it possible to make the textrss a whole width? i.e. i’d like to put just one feed which is the full width like the “onenews html widget”
Try the following code in a Onenews html widget.
<h2><a href="http://ericulous.com">Ericulous</a></h2>
<ul style="width:930px;">
<?php
echo SimplePieWP('http://ericulous.com/feed/', array(
'items' => 8,
'template' => 'textrss',
));
?>
</ul>
Hi Genkisan,
the pop up hover window in my Flickr feed is very small. Is there a way to increase the size?
Thx,
Drew
Flickr offers atom and rss feed. Switch to atom feed for larger thumbnails.
e.g api.flickr.com/…photos_public.gne?tags=wordpress&lang=en-us&format=atom
I have hundreds of pages that I want to build. I actually have an Excel file with all of the URLs, parameters, etc for each page. Is that something I could hire you for – doing a back-end load so no one has to do this manually to start?
I’m afraid I unable help you with that.
Is this something that is even possible? Like if I hired a contractor that understood WordPress would they be able to do it? How simple would something like this to do?
Also, just on a side note – are there any known limitations on number of feed pages you could have?
For me it’s not possible but I don’t really know.. a wordpress ninja might pull it off?
There shouldn’t be any limitation, except perhaps your server load.
Do you know the code or what I would do in order to hide any text in a story title that would make it go more than one line? Examples can be found on alltop.com. Here is a URL:
http://obama.alltop.com/
Note if you hover over a story that would go more than one line it shows the full title. This way you don’t end up with blocks that end up much greater in height because of long story titles. Every block height is the same at that point.
In style.css, replace
with
For it to work under IE, you need to download the Whatever:hover javascript. Upload to the onenewspremium theme folder.
Then in style.css, insert the new line (changing the domain to your own) into the body class
This worked for the most part except it hovers below the text below it. I am trying to make it a different background color for the entire text block (both lines or more if the title is long) and not shift down when you hover over it. I tried to look at the css for alltop, but I don’t really understand css – when I did it with zindex, etc I would get it where it would shift rows down to accommodate the hidden text when you hover over it…and the background color would only be around the first line of text.
By the way, thought it might be best to show you what is happening live:
http://www.rivalrap.com/news/
I am trying to make it look like this for now:
http://news.alltop.com/
Although I do have questions about how to change the story info that shows when you hover to be more locked like popurls.com does, but that is for another post.
Hi Genkisan!
This noob uses your premium Onenews theme and it rocks!
I have installed some plugins, all working fine except one.
The plugins where I use the widget all goes well, but when I try to activate this function inside OneNews HTML or textRSS, it just shows the function name. Do I need to define the function in function.php? I have not done this before, maybe you can give me a tip.
thx
Dre.
What plugin is that?
It is postTabs.
The HTML widget supports html and php but not shortcodes [tab:TabTitle] used by Posttabs.
Here’s a workaround. Create the tabs in a new post. Open post in new browser, view the source code, copy the html code for the tabs, and paste into the HTML widget.
Hello
I was wondering if these theme also has the functionality to moderate the RSS feeds items to publish. Something like WP-O-Matic does on the RSS-to-post, but of course in this theme does something else. Still, I am interested into that functionality particularly: being able to chose which items from the RSS to show.
Thanks!
Nope, as the theme does not create new posts like WP-O-Matic.
A few suggestions, in order of importance
- visited links really must grey out.
- unmoving popups (as on popurls) feel better because they’re more stable. When I mouseover a link, it’s better if the popup is always in the same place. Would be nice if the popup also doesn’t disappear when you mouse over it, as originalsignal does it
- a more/less button would be nice, as originalsignal does it.
Forgot to add – increase the mouseover area… just like popurls. And the fontsize thing should toggle between 2 or 3 options.
Running into weird bugs, the popup box can’t handle [ or ]. Try making a reddit feed.
For greyed out visited links, add following to style.css
For increased mouseover area, replace the following classes in style.css
.news-entry li
.news-entry li a
.news-entry li a:hover
with
For [] bug, seems like the popup cannot accept the [] characters. The workaround is to replace them with {}. In simplepie_wordpress_2.php, replace line 2160-2163
with
a quick hack for textsize.js is just replacing “up” with the textsize
if(textsize == 100){
textsize = parseFloat(textsize)+20;
}else{
textsize =parseFloat(textsize)-20;
}
is it possible to do the following?
- unmoving popups (as on popurls) feel better because they’re more stable. When I mouseover a link, it’s better if the popup is always in the same place. Would be nice if the popup also doesn’t disappear when you mouse over it, as originalsignal does it
- a more/less button would be nice, as originalsignal does it.
Nope.
Hi, I’ve purchased and tried out the premium version and it looks pretty nice. However, as I was starting to build my site it’s clear that it will be a lot of work managing the feeds in each of the widgets, especially if I decide to move stuff around or create multiple pages (where I might want the same feed on multiple pages).
Is there any way to import and manage the feeds directly in the database instead of doing it through the UI? I have good MySQL skills and have phpMyAdmin so I am comfortable doing that.
Can you point me to the code or other documentation that could show me how to create dozens of different pages, feeds, etc directly through the database so that I don’t spend so much time hand typing all my feeds?
I’ve not been able to figure out how as the data is spread across a few rows. Also WordPress generate dynamic IDs for each widgets.
You can see for yourself in the wp_options table. Ssearch for where “option_name” LIKE %widget%.
The main one to delve into is the sidebar_widgets and the widget_onenews_xxxx.
Any chance you could read the links out of the “Links” database that wordpress already manages? It already handles categorizations, add/edit/delete, etc. So, if your software could simply take the list of links as feeds by categories or tags that would be great.
Sorry but I’m not sure how to integrate them together.
Hi – am considering buying the OneNews theme but first need to know if it offers a search facility as per popurls or is it possible to add Google search? thanks
As the feeds are stored as text and not posts, they are not searchable within WordPress. But Google search should work.
Hello;
I think there is a problem in the positioning of the video’s popup box (video widget). In my browser the video window is too much in the bottom of the page so I have to scrolldown to see the whole video.
Can I change some parameter of the Js or css to show the window of the video closer of the top of the browser window?
Thank you,
Kiron
Try chagning the settings in videopopup.js, line 194
_vidPane.style.top=scrollTop+250+’px’;
Hi,
Did you know how i could change the date format ?
(24 hours format)14h00 not 2:00pm and month in french ?

Login to http://your-own-domain.com/wp-admin/options.php, change the value for “simplepie_date_format” to “j M y, H\hi”. You can find out more about date formatting here. I’m not sure about the month in french though.
could these widgets be used with another wordpress theme, or FlatPress? thanks!
Nope. As it works in tandem with the theme.
This is a great tool…love it.
I’ve got one question though. I’d like to specify a new thumbnail size for YouTube and Flickr feeds.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Try altering the width/height in the photo.tmpl and video.tmpl files in the templates folder.
Just tried it and it worked perfectly. Thanks a million.
Great theme – I’ve been using it for a couple of months now, and am really finding that it fits my needs perfectly and it’s easily customizable.
However, I’ve found one problem I can’t figure out.
I really like the adverts you have on the onenews demo site, under the featured section. I’ve tried to add them to my site, but couldn’t figure out how to do it at the same time as also using ‘overflow:hidden’ to keep all the text on one line. Basically, every time I add a picture into a widget, it gets cut off so that only the top section of the image is displayed.
I’d really appreciate any pointers as to how I can display the full image. Thanks!
Try editing widgets.php line 391, replace
with
Thanks – worked perfectly.
If you ever need a testimonial, just let me know!
Genkisan:
Great work. I’m glad your theme is becoming quite popurl.. err popular
my site is http://www.iplleagues.com
I have four questions:
1. I’d like to show an image instead of feed titles (I show Sports teams and their logos would look a lot cooler than their names in text). Is this planned and if so any idea when?
2. At least can I change the colors of the feed titles?
3. I’d love to insert a text-ad in between the list of news items under each feed. Any idea how I can accomplish his?
4. If the item is a link to an audio (say an mp3 song), is it possible to start playing it when clicked (instead of opening the link?
Thanks a bunch.
Item 1 should make it in the next version and available when WP 2.8 is released in April. I’m afraid I can’t help out in item 3 and 4.
Did this ever make it to One News (being able to use an image instead of a feed title)?
Yes. As you can see in the second row for twitter, you an use an image/favicon in the title. Just enter the Logo Url in the onenews widgets.
Is it possible to have flickr photos pop up the same way as youtube videos do ?
You can install the WP-Slimbox2 Plugin. Make sure you enabled the “Enable Flickr Integration?” option in that plugin.
Then open up the photorss.tmpl file, replace
with
You may have to remove the image in the mouseover as it conflicts with the slimbox when you click next or previous image. Remove the following from photorss.tmpl
This worked well, thanks!
Hi there,
excellent theme you have there. I’d like to buy it, but wonder if I can easily modify the fonts used (I want to use Helvetica Neue only).
Also, if I buy one license and decide to get a multiple afterwards, is there a way for me to only pay the difference?
Thank you so much for you answer and great work on this.
Best,
Paul.
No problem. You can easily change the font in style.css and styleb.css (line 16).
To get the multiple license later, simply select “Upgrade from Single to Multiple Use License” from the dropdown box.
Hi, great theme. Thanks.
Is it possible to add multiple feed pages (Alltop-model) with posts instead of pages? This would make it possible to categorize the topic-pages and use conditional tags etc.
Pages were used as page templates can be used on them.
You can try out the Simple Tags plugin to tag pages
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-tags/
Hi,
you write that if I want full width rss feeds I can do that with:
echo SimplePieWP(‘http://ericulous.com/feed/’, array(
‘items’ => 8,
‘template’ => ‘textrss’,
));
?>
and that’s great, but what should I add to this code if I want ti have these feeds with items summary? So that I will have 930px feed with short description taken from mentioned feed?
Thanks
Tom
Change
'template' => 'textrss',
to
'template' => 'textrss_summary',
Hi Genki, I just upgraded from single to multiple use license. Your script works fine. Thanks a lot.
BTW, how much is your rate for custom work?
Greetings, Karl
Just forgot something: I wanted to put a background image to the little box with the preview of the feed text (the one that appears when you hover the feed). But I couln’t find it in the stylesheet. How can I do that? Thanks alot. Karl
I’m not taking custom work at the moment. But I must say that the modifications you’ve done so far is pretty cool!
You can find background css in line 40 of header.php
Thanks. Please look again in some days/weeks. There is much to come.
Your site is avesome Karl. Congrats.
how to make menu navigation like Karl website?
Try http://www.ditii.com/2007/06/22/sticky-menu-plugin/
Can you tell me what code that i must use to insert sticky menu?
Please refer to the readme.txt in the plugin zip file.
Bought multiple licenses of this wonderful theme.
Could any one let me know how to replace the feeds’ title with images?
Thank you.
In the widgets, leave the “Header Title” blank. Then enter the img url in the “Logo Url” e.g http://yourdomain.com/image.jpg
Is it possible to control the length of an item so that all feed columns display with the same height. For example the problem i have is when some feeds have lots of long descriptions per item one column can be much taller then another which makes the page look untidy. Is there a simple workaround ?
I found the solution, edit the simplepie_wordpress2.php file and change the settings for simplepie_truncate_item_title then use the relevant tag in the template.
Actually this does not seem to work for all items, does anyone know a workaround ?
Try replacing (in simplepie_wordpress2.php)
$working_item = str_replace('{ITEM_TITLE}', SimplePie_WordPress::post_process('ITEM_TITLE', $title), $working_item);
with
$working_item = str_replace('{ITEM_TITLE}', substr(SimplePie_WordPress::post_process('ITEM_TITLE', $title),0,40), $working_item);
Hi! This is a great theme… I’m working on it right now…
I have two problems:
1. When I hover the mouse over the logo it “kind of underlines it”… Is this a margin/padding issue?
2. Is it possible to hide some pages (contact us, about, etc) from the Alphabet Lists? What’s the easiest way to do it?
Thanks in advance!!
regards
1. Would be easier for me if you post your blog url.
2. Only pages using the OneNews page template will show up. So normal pages like about or contact shouldn’t show up.
Thank you!!
I’ll work on this a little bit and then I’ll let you know…
Thanks again! Great theme!
Can I use two different logos for the two different backgrounds?
How can I achieve this?
I’m having trouble using a logo with a transparent background in IE (works fine in firefox)…
Thanks
How can I change the date on the “hover box” over the headlines of the feeds? It’s in a different timezone…
For png transparency in IE:
http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/
For timezone, in simplepie_wordpress_2.php replace
with
Replace Europe/Athens with your own timezine
For your logo underline, remove “background: #33ccff;” in
a:hover { color: #fff; background: #33ccff; }
Thank you!!
Just changed the timezone format but without success… Is it possible that some of my feed are correct and others don’t? or is this a problem with the original feeds?
Thanks
In fact only a couple of feeds appear with the correct time… the date is always correct…
Possible as date/time implementation can be different in rss or atom format, even among versions within themselves.
Hi Genkisan:
Is there a way to increase the mouseover area to display the entire feed content?
Thanks
Kris
To display full content, go to http://higizmo.com/wp-admin/options.php and change the vaue of “simplepie_truncate_item_description” to a big number e.g 999999999.
To increase width of mouseover area, open header.php and change dvBdy.style.width='240px'; to desirable width.
Hello Genki,
I worked around in the css to make the display of the blocks more beautiful. Now there is only showing one line, and all by hover it. If you use less than 10 feed items, you maybe change the height-settings in the .news-entry ul – you can see it working here: http://www.kapitalismus.de/startups/
.news-entry ul{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-size: 1em;
width: 300px;
min-height:240px;
height:18em;
}
.news-entry li {
border-top: 1px solid #505050;
line-height: 1.25em;
}
.news-entry li a{
display:inline-block;
font-size:.85em;
line-height: 1.25em;
height:1em;
width: 300px;
padding:4px 0 4px 0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.news-entry li a:hover {
color: #fff;
display:inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#333333;
margin-bottom:-3px;
padding:4px 0 4px 0;
line-height: 1.25em;
height:auto;
overflow:auto;
}
To minimize the loading time, this plugin is nice in addition to super-cache: http://www.askapache.com/wordpress/crazy-cache-wordpress-plugin.html
Genki, is there a way to produce a cache file automatic, when simplepie is getting a new rss-file after 3600 seconds?
I need something like this to speed up the site.
Thanks for the theme. Greetings from Berlin.
Hmm.. I get the idea but I’m not sure how to get it to work.
Greetings. Very nice theme & excellent work!
I agree with Karl, that we should figure out a way to automatically update the cache once the rss-feeds are fetched by simplepie. This would clearly speed up the site for some bigger pages.
Any help there would be highly appreciated.
Best regards from Amsterdam.
If I wanted to run multiple versions on one site, utilizing subdomains what would be the best way to go about doing this? An example would be “sub1.domain.com, sub2.domain.com, sub3.domain.com”.
I would like to install about 150 variations of this theme on individual sub-domains. Is this a good idea with WordPress and using that many SQL databases?
Can I somehow install one version of the theme and run variations of each sub-domian? Or would I have to install individual WP installs on each sub-domain?
WPMU may be the thing you need for subdomains on single installation of WordPress.
Can I have multiple pages of aggregation pages news on a single site? I want to have a Packers page with feeds and videos for the Packers … under another tab on home page I want a Chicago Bears news aggregation page … under another tab I want to go to a Detroit Lions news aggregation page … etc.
Thanks!
Steve
Yes, see some of my pages for netbook and nintendo wii.
Hi,
I am thinking of buying. Is the code encrypted?
I might have to make modifications if necessary.
Thanks
No encrypted code, so feel free to make modifications.
Hi,
Again excellent theme. If you make a lot of different pages under this theme (like alltop.com) and the site doesn’t have any traffic, the loading time of these pages can be very long, even when Supercach is put on.
A quick fix for this is to open the page in firefox and have them reload every x minutes (via the Reload Every) option. That way the cach is built regularly, which helps the quick loading when first time vistors hit a page. This obviously isn’t a very brilliant fix and has several disadvantages.
Therefore any more robust solutions for this problems are highly appreciated. Any brilliant thoughts anybody?
Best regards from Amsterdam
Hi Genkisan:
I found the code to make text rss a whole width using onenews HTML widget, but is there a way to make the feeds also align horizontally than vertically. For eg. is there a way I can get, say, 15 feeds in 3 rows with 5 feeds in each from one feedlink?
Thanks for your time.
I should have mentioned 3 columns than 3 rows.

I’m afraid that’s too complicated.
Hi Genkisan,
Great looking them, was just wondering if it would be possible / very difficult to move the navigation “block” to the top of the page as I think it might be easily overlooked by visitors that there are other pages available when you have a lot of feeds on one page…
Hope to hear from you, interested in buying the theme…
Greets,
Matt
Or a quick “how to” on how to create a menu like “Q” from http://helemaalbij.nl did (doesnt even have to be dropdown)..
All I need is a simple way to create a decent topmenu to the other pages and I’m sold
Thanks in advance!
The navigation block or what I named the Alphabets List is a widget so you can easily place it at the top through the WordPress widget control panel.
Thank you for the quick reply, bought the template and love it!
Weirdest thing is though that I’m not able to alter the homepage easily (rest of the pages I created are working fine) When I select widgets and choose homepage from the dropdown menu on the right and select show, it says “You are using 0 widgets in the “homepage” sidebar.”
Any clue how I can solve this?
My workaround now is to alter the home.php…
Homepage also doesnt show up in the navigation menu in the bottombar…
For the page I’m trying to set up, see http://www.graffnews.net
Great to see the PhotoRSS also working with Fotolog.com by the way!
Awesome job Genkisan
I see that you got the homepage fixed. To show the homepage link in bottombar, you can try the Flexi Pages Widget
I was wondering, is there a way you to select which feeds are dofollow and which are nofollow for the premium version? From the flash setup guide it looked as if it was a blanket all or nothing.. I was hoping to possibly make 1 dofollow with the rest nofollow? Thanks.
Try this hack. In simplepie_wordpress_2.php, line 2230, replace
if ($onenews->option['nofollow'] == 'nofollow')
with
if ($onenews->option['nofollow'] == 'nofollow' && strpos($permalink,'http://replace_your_own_domain_here.com')===FALSE)
I am looking for alternatives to SimplePie NewsBlock that has serious memory issues. A page with a bit more than 70 feeds caused a memory error – 64MB was not enough. So now I wonder if OneNews can display 70 or 80 feeds on one page without such memory issues.
Not sure but high chance same issue as OneNews is based also on SimplePie. The solution may be to throw more hardware at it.
Thanks for your answer. 64MB is not much for shared hosting? Maybe I can get my host to upgrade.
How would you describe the difference between OneNews and SimplePie NewsBlocks? SimplePie NewsBlocks requires digging into the code, there is no web interface for the settings. Especially getting cronjobs to work is a hard job. This might be better in OneNews?
I found out that it is possible to increase memory without editing the php-info file
Worth a try if the host supports it.
I’ve not tried the NewsBlocks before. For OneNews the feeds are added through WordPress widgets interface. You can check out the Stup Guide for more info
http://www.scribd.com/doc/4878076/OneNews-Setup-Guide
Hi,
Can you confirm if the ‘onenews wp’,can work with wordpress-mu. Thanks and bye.
cheers
Edward
It should as reported by other users.
Is there a way to edit the photoRSS thumbnails so they are not stretched if the original image is not square?
Open photorss.tmpl and remove either
width="128" (for equal height) or
height="96" (for equal width)
Hello,
How can I add a caption under a video, i.e the title of the video?
Thanks!
Sorry, I’m unable to figure this out. The solution should involve editing the videorss.tmpl file.
Ok I figured out how to do it but it makes the videos go in a vertical line instead of horizontal. I added {TRUNCATE_ITEM_TITLE} after:
in videorss.tmpl file
how could I make it horizontal again?
That’s the part that got me too.
How do I remove the tooltip? I dont want it as the text is too small!
Open header.php and add
dvBdy.style.display='none';
below this line
function defBdyStyle() {
Hey Genkisan,
If I wanted to add my own content to each tooltip, do you have any ideas as to how to do this? For example, for each post in any given feed, I’d be able to include some notes of my own (that would popup on hover in the tooltip). Thanks much!
Jim
You can add your content in templates\textrss.tmpl but the changes will apply to all the tooltips, not individually.
Is there anyway to prevent a feed title from being londer than one line? Could you add something that says if feed title is >18 characters it will cutoff and add … after it?
For example, if the title was:
“OneNews just set WP Theme records With his latest update”
It would change it to:
“OneNews just set WP Theme records…”
Im sure this is possible, hope you can figure it out!
In textrss.tmpl , replace {ITEM_TITLE} with {TRUNCATE_ITEM_TITLE}. Then go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php and change the value “simplepie_truncate_item_title” to maybe 35.
Is it possible to have five instead of three columns per row?
Unfortunately no.
Love the theme!!!! I have the signle license and I’m about to buy the multi license upgrade. I’m trying to create a site that will display heavily filtered RSS feeds from Yahoo Pipes for news reporting. I’d like to try to add functionality similar to popurls where you can share/bookmark a given feed item on delicious or similar. Looks like this might required editing the simplepie templates to do this? Any suggestions? Is this something you could do as a hired project?
Sorry but I’m not taking on projects. Yes, it would involve editing the tmpl files. You may want to try the addthis api, something like this:
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20"
onmouseover="return
addthis_open(this, '', '[{ITEM_PERMALINK}]', '[{ITEM_TITLE}]');"
onmouseout="addthis_close();"
onclick="return addthis_sendto();"><img src=
"http://s7.addthis.com/static/t00/logo1414.gif"
width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Share"/></a>
Thanks! I worked it out by moving the add this code you have on the top of the site. But yours looks much better … Ill try that. great theme again.
would you be able to tell me where to put this code within the simplepie_wordpress_2.php for it to function as described by Jeremy Barnish?
Not sure how Jeremy code it since he did not share his url. Try adding the following code into textrss.tmpl, just after “<li>”
<a style="float:right;width:20px;" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '{ITEM_PERMALINK}', '{ITEM_TITLE}')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/t00/logo1414.gif" border="0" alt="Bookmark/Share" /></a>
In style.css, change
.news-entry li a{
display:inline-block;
width: 300px;
padding: 2px 0 2px 0;
}
to
.news-entry li a{
display:inline-block;
width: 280px;
padding: 2px 0 2px 0;
}
Thank you! Is it possible to get my site name somewhere on the link thats being shared. “Posted from MyWebsite.com”?
News item that displays the item title of articles on two lines cause the new article title to slide up and down. Is there a way to stop the article titles from sliding as they do now?
Posted from: in the snippet above, replace “{ITEM_TITLE}” with “Posted from MyWebsite.com: {ITEM_TITLE}”.
Slide up and down: In style.css, add the width in
.news-entry li a:hover {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #E1E9EB;
display:inline-block;
width:250px;
}
Is there a way to get the site name it to appear when shared on Facebook? I’m currently using “Posted from MyWebsite.com: {ITEM_TITLE}” but when sharing on facebook it doesn’t include MyWebsite.com anywhere. Thanks for your help! This theme is awesome!
Seems like facebook grab the title directly from the website instead of what we input. I afraid there’s nothing can be done on our side.
I’m currently using the following code. Can you tell me how to set this button not to pop-up on mouse over. I would like it to only open on click.
Replace your link with
http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&username=shalomy&url={ITEM_PERMALINK}&title={ITEM_TITLE}
Remove
onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '{ITEM_PERMALINK}', '{ITEM_TITLE}')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"
Hello all…
great site which has been pushing RSS news since 1999/2000, and they have hundreds of feeds by topics like cities, states, industries (US News). If you need a quick way to fill empty sub pages using OneNews (ie music, books, Los Angeles, etc.), this is great (and FREE): http://feeds.send2press.com .
Hang in with me here. I want to designate a SPECIFIC background image for EACH PAGE, that relates to the kind of feeds displayed. I’ve tried to implement a “custom css” custom field and go that route, but it doesn’t work on this theme. Any ideas?
The body background style is in use by the header. You will need to modify the header first. In header.php, replace
<div class="content">
<div id="top">
with
<div class="header">
<div class="content">
<div id="top">
also replace
</div>
</div>
with
</div>
</div>
</div>
Open style.css, delete
background: #fff url(images/top.jpg) repeat-x top;
and add
.header {
background: #fff url(images/top.jpg) repeat-x top;
}
In header.php, below this line
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="dark" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/styleb.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
add
<?php
global $wp_query;
$thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
?>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #fff url(<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/<?php echo $thePostID; ?>.jpg) repeat top left;
}
</style>
Finally for each page, save the background image using it’s ID e.g 4.jpg into the theme images folder.
Hey,
I have used your theme to sort of put all my websites in one place, creating a portal all around it. Even though I am only fetching 16 or so feeds, the performance is atrocious. Any suggestions on how to improve it (link provided in the website field)?
Seems pretty fast on my side as I see that you have wp-super-cache enabled. The first load may be slower as it fetch the feeds from the various sites. You may also want to check out these caching plugins suggested by a user: http://dbzer0.com/blog/the-fastest-caching-combo-for-wordpress-am-i-in-a-cached-nirvana
Thanks for the tip. Is there anyway in your opinion to make the fetching process more efficient? Let’s say I want to create an exact duplicate of AllTop with all those sites. Wouldn’t that take forever to load for the first time? I did install those 2 plugins that you suggested but the first timers will still see some lag (the reason I even care about this is some people make click away if the site doesn’t show up after 3 seconds. Right now it takes about that for the first load and is super fast after).
I’m afraid the response & transfer time between the servers is not within our control. But with caching, majority of the users will be seeing the cached pages (caching is done on a per page, not per user basis).
Well, thanks so much for answering all my questions. I am actually planning to upgrade my license to unlimited as I have a big project in mind with your theme as its center piece. That portal will could 10,000 feeds so if you have any suggestions for that, it’d be great. I mean how does AllTop do it? much better servers?
btw, which of the 3 plugins do you recommend the most? From that article, I use the DB one in conjunction with super cache. But do I need to use them on those individual sites as well?
Possible. Maybe also a greater cache expiry time.
I’ve only tried wp-super-cache so not sure about the other 2.
HI,
How can I insert adsence similarly to http://www.originalsignal.com? When cursor hovers over the link right on the preview window under the feed summary a google ad is inserted.
Thanks,
Jorge.
I’m afraid that doesn’t work with this theme.
How does the optional sideblog work? Is this a small blog in the sidebar? Can you add a regular blog to the domain e.g. http://www.domain/blog with a full-blown WordPress blog? What features does the blog have?
Thanks.
Create a category ‘blog’ and make new posts to that category. Then you will have your blog at http://yourdomain.com/category/blog e.g my sideblog at http://ericulous.com/onenews/category/wordpress/
Hi – is there a way to tweak OneNews so that feed items can be stored as posts? Thanks.
Nope. You may want to try plugins like feedwordpress or wp-o-matic.
I am interested in adding Google Analytics tracking to the links generated by this theme. I’m hoping this will give me an indication of what the most popular links were that day. Any ideas on how I could add this to the theme, or is this already available?
Not sure about Google Analytics but you can try the WordPress Stats plugin to track outgoing links.
Don’t think you could track these links only internals. You could try crazyegg though. The heat maps will how you where people have clicked.
You can track outgoing links with google analytics. use just about any analytics plugin for WP and turn that feature on. BUT doing this will probably slow down the site if you have a lot of links.
Hi Genkisan !
Please check Cubanoscope http://www.cubanoscope.com
Done with OneNews
Best regards from Havana, Cuba.
Pretty impressive!
Just bought your theme and run it on my site. It’s a great theme indeed. One small question: How can I feed videos from MSN and Yahoo Videos. Inline video player doesn’t work with feeds with these. Thank you
Only youtube, metacafe, dailymotion videos are supported for the video widget.
Hi. I just bought this theme.
I want to have a image that says “NEW!” next to the post that have been posted the same day or in the last 24 hours.
How do I do this???
You can see a working example here http://webdesign-news.com/category/blogging-2/
Thanks in advance
Are you taking suggestions to the next update? Here are a couple of general suggestions.
I think load time is always an issue. I think the theme does pretty well, but there are always places to look. For example, I have taken all the javascript files and packed them. That reduced their overall file size by more than 60%. Are there other areas you could look for speed improvements?
SEO issues … Here is my secret sauce that I have used to great affect on many many sites … in the top, for the site title, use an h1 tag, and for the description use an h2 tag, then for each of the widget titles (site feed title) use h3 tags. For the footer widgets I would use h4, as they are likely not to be keyword rich for the site content. those are the biggest seo issues that I would address.
thanks for a very useful theme!
Using h1 tags for the site title would mean all pages will have the same h1 tags (Would be fine if in popurls mode but OneNews uses multiple pages in the alltop mode).
Keeping the js files unpacked will make it easier for the users to edit. They may also not need some of the js functions and thus easier to leave the individual files out. They can then opt to pack the files with WP_Minify.
Can this package handle images and videos from different sources as shown on the demo page with little modification required? I need to be sure it can before investing my money it.
This theme supports
for video: youtube, metacafe, dailymotion, yahoo
for photo: flickr
As different site build their feeds differently, it’s impossible to support all of them, especially for the videos. Perhaps you can show me your list and I can test which of them runs fine.
I am looking at TED, FORA.tv, and images from almost every possible websites. The problem will be on the pops video and images. How customizable is your code?
TED and fora feed won’t work since they don’t provide enough info. I also can’t guarantee all images site will work. I guess this theme may not be what you are looking for.
Hi,
we have bought multi license version of your template. We would like to adopt it to suit our needs, and I was wondering if its possible to assign unique html ID to each imported feed via “location” in widget. E.g. each widget have 3 feeds, and all of them are sorted in widget management, so is there way to access feed location via its widget location?
Something like editing widgets.php to have newsblock defined something like
<div class="newsblock" id="widget–”> which would eventually produce
if feed is in first widget and in first feed import.
Hope you understood what i have meant to say
Best
Boban
for reasons unknown comments stripped loads of my example making question useless
anyway, in short, is there a way to produce this
<div class="newsblock" id="widget-1-1">
I assume the id “widget-2-3″ means the widget is in the 2nd row 3rd column. The column should be easy as you can hardcode it in widgets.php
line 297 becomes <div class="newsblock" id="widget-x-1">
line 342 becomes <div class="newsblock" id="widget-x-2">
line 387 becomes <div class="newsblock" id="widget-x-3">
However I’m stumped on getting the rows.
Yes thats what i meant, and figured it meanwhile…
Thanks for your answer on this.
And second issue would be with trimming within tooltip window. We tried using it on some cyrilic languages (Russian, Belarus) and sometimes it returns last char as square or in ffox that small prism with question mark inside. Is there a way to disable trimming?
Oh yeah, and for some reason $number returns different number for each row of widgets (tried on textRSS only) i havent got time to play with it but so far it looks promissing for what im trying to achieve… thanks again, and forgot to mention – awesome template set!
Open textrss.tmpl and replace TRUNCATE_ITEM_DESCRIPTION with ITEM_DESCRIPTION.
The $number is generated by wp and appears to be random numbers.
after upgraded to 2.8.6 I receive 500 internal page error..
http://social.sapdocs.info/
what to do ?
Seems like only your homepage is affected. The rest are working e.g http://social.sapdocs.info/basis/ , so I don’t think it’s theme related.
Not too sure but
1. try renaming your .htaccess to something else. If it works, then your .htaccess file is corrupted or settings are incorrect.
2. deactivate plugins to see if they are causing the issue.
3. clear the super-wp-cache.
Hi Genkisan
I bought your onenews six month ago and it’s my main pleasure to play with the theme since then. It’s really avesome to see what one can do with. I frequently comeback here to see what others saying and doing in their sites. It really helps a lot.
Yestarday i’ve checked Karl’s “Kapitalismus.de” It’s really impressive. A small detal attracted me a lot which i don’t have in my theme. It shows page headers just after the logo. i.e ‘Kapitalismus.de/Dubai’ I wonder how to add such a code to header.php
Thanks
Try the single_post_title function
I only found this now while surfing and looking for wordpress themes. This is great! I think I would try this with one of my sites. Is this also a good way to gain new traffic? Does it offer good SEO capabilities? Won’t search engines penalize my site for duplicate contents?
It should be an easy source for extra traffic and will just look like a mashup of post titles to google so no issue of duplicated content.
Ive been using your theme and its fantastic! I’ve been getting some really frustrating results with feeds not displaying for hard to work out reasons. I thought the problem was feeds from yahoo pipes and that pipes was going down, so i switched to using the original google news rss feed instead, and now some of them are not displaying either.
this one for example http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=DotNetNuke&cf=all&scoring=n&output=rss … does not return a result in a text rss widget. i tried putting it into xfruits and it worked! do you know why this is? http://www.xfruits.com/barnish/?id=87900
also, i’m wondering if you have an documentation on some of the options in the http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/options.php … would adjusting any of these mean it might choke less?
thanks for your help!

When I open the feed url in the browser, google says “We’re sorry… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries”. That may be the reason why it’s not showing, with google occasionally blocking your server & yahoo pipes, but not xfruits. It seems to work when I used a US proxy server with this url.
If google is indeed blocking then I don’t thing changing the values will help. You can find the simplepie docs at http://simplepie.org/wiki/plugins/wordpress/simplepie_plugin_for_wordpress/customization
Thanks. Very very useful.
I contacted you a while back to see if you are available for consulting projects .. are you available at all? or do you know anyone who you trust who might be available?
Perhaps you can check out http://wphelpcenter.com/
If you add a search option to OneNews would visitors be able search for different topics with in the feed links?
Thanks
Nope, as no posts are created, wordpress is unable to search within.
hey. i when i make photo feed the description is very short.
how to let the feet to show more characters?
tnx.
What’s your photo feed url? Nothing much can be done if the description in the feed is short.
the description in the feed is not short but in my site it’s cut the description.
this is the feed:
http://rcs.mako.co.il/rss/e3bb59b65350a110VgnVCM2000002a0c10acRCRD.xml
Oh yea, the photorss widget does not display the description. If you like to display them, you can edit photorss.tmpl in the templates folder. Look for {ITEM_DATE}
and replace it with
{TRUNCATE_ITEM_DESCRIPTION}<br />{ITEM_DATE}
Genkisan,I have a question about this theme before I purchase it. On an rss text feed or any feed I guess, does the software bring in every feed from the source or can I specify feeds with one or more key words? For example: I want to list feeds with info about the earthquake in Haiti. I want to look at feeds from google news, cnn, fox news, yada yada but only pick up news about Haiti. Can I do this or do I have to take all feed info?
The theme is unable to do keyword filtering. It will take the feed provided as is. However some feeds allows you to do filtering, which you can do before inputting into the theme e.g
http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=en_sg&hl=en&q=haiti+earthquake&cf=all&output=rss (google news feed for haiti earthquake). You can also try to mash feeds that does not support keywords with http://pipes.yahoo.com
Hi, I purchased the theme and am very happy with it. I was trying to rebuild the templates and a lot of the original SimplePie template tags don’t work. For example I am trying to get the name of the site that published an rss feed by {FEED_AUTHOR_NAME} – it simply displays the tag.
Are they deactivated or what is wrong? Thank you.
I commented them out for a little speed boost as they were not used. You can delete the “/*” or “*/” in line 961, 1231, 1262, 1491, 1534, 1977, 2009, 2202, 2182, 2160, (simplepie_wordpress_2.php).
Thanks a lot! A great theme is one thing, but it is the great support that is completing this offer. Keep it up!
Great work, Genkisan! Very worthy purchase, recommended.
Two questions:
where do you reduce the blank space between widget modules?
can you recommend a way to emulate the popurls quickies? that is, name of the blog + last post from the feed.
thx
In style.css, add margin-top:-10px for the following class as below:
.news-entry h2 {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 15px 0;
margin-top:-10px;
}
Unfortunately there isn’t anything equivalent for the quickies in OneNews. You can check out WP built-in fetch_feed function at http://wpengineer.com/feed-cache-in-wordpress/
Hi — I’m having a problem with wrong times being displayed (timezone issue?) ….
Original – IT & Telecoms (Mondaq) January 26, 2010 7:30 AM
Textrss widget – IT & Telecoms (Mondaq) (26 Jan 10, 3:30pm)
The original feed …
http://www.mymediamonitor.com/feeds/cloud/allnews.rss
Which is from a pipes feed ….
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=941d58b6d8cc1f3ec554ad0e02c9d2cc&_render=rss
Any suggestions?
I notice even the feeds date is different from the original articles. Try the timezone hack.
Hi Gengiskan,
Thanks for the theme, it’s really usefull, I’m doing some work on it, I will tell you when finished to check it.
But, here is my problem. I would like to insert some rating stars below the rss feed title, for example with a java script function, the fact is that I cannot find where to place the script in the theme files so it could appear automaticaly when creating a new feed block. Could you give a clue?
Try inserting into the template files e.g textrss.tmpl
Thanks for the quick response.
I want to purchase this several times actually! I’m going to need a couple licenses.
However, there is one key feature missing for me. Are there any plans on making it editable by a user just like popurls.com
I want the user to be able to edit what shows on his page so that he seees the feeds he wants to see.
Please email me if you can.
P.S. FANTASTIC JOB! Bib props to the creator
Probably not any time soon. You may want to toy with the idea of using WPMU for multiusers environment. Or the next version of WP 3.0, where they will merge WP with WPMU.
Thanks! I checked into WPMU. I don’t quite understand but i’m going to give it my best shot!
P.S. any help is good help so thank you for responding to me i really appreciate it!
Quick question. Instead of it starting on the “white page” how can i make it start on the “black page” color.
Rename style.css to styleb.css and vice versa.
Few days back I bought the premium and I am getting this error.
Warning: require_once(/home/missionb/public_html/new/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/missionb/public_html/new/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/functions.php on line 105
Check that the file permission for simplepie.inc is set to 644 or 666. If correct, you should be able to view it at http://your-own-domain//wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc.
wp 2.9.1
when previewing the theme, I get a blank white screen. When activating the theme, The whole site is just a white blank page (even the admin section). I could only correct this by removing the onenewspremium theme folder and changing the theme.
please advise
Please check that all files in onenewspremium folder and subfolders have permission of 644/666, and folders have permission of 755/777.
I encounter a similar ‘blank’ case, which is caused by the simplepie.inc file not accessible. You can see if the file is accessible by going to http://your-own-domain.com/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc
If the permission for the file is already 644/666 and still not viewable, you may want to check with your host as they may have some security settings in place.
Still getting a blank screen.
I am not clear about 755/777 which is it? 755 or 777?
same with 644/666
As for these security settings.
I can view the file by going to the url you suggested (subbing my url of course).
Thank you.
Some host works with 755, some with 777. So if 755 doesn’t work, try 777. Likewise for 644 and 666.
Do you have any plugins using simplepie e.g SimplePie Core, SimplePie Plugin for WordPress, WP-o-Matic. Deactivate them as they conflict with OneNews theme.
Hi, how do I change the blog title my own personal logo? Sorry for the newbie question, just want to put my custom logo there instead of the generic text..
to change the logo:
2. In header.php, uncomment line 58 and delete line 59-62.
<a href="” title=”Home”><img src="/images/logo.gif” alt=”Home” />
Remember to upload your logo.gif to the theme images folder. May also need to edit both style.css/styleb.css line 38 to adjust the logo position.
there is a lot of information, including the above, in this thread.
This doesn’t some techincally possible given the structure. However, is it possible to have the feeds with most recent postings migrate to the top of the page?
also, how about a section when most popular links can be displayed? an example of this can be found at affbuzz.com
lastly, how could i add dates next to each feed entry..assuming the feed has date included.
You are right. Not possible for most recent postings at the top.
This click counter plugin might help.
In textrss.tmpl, look for “{ITEM_TITLE}” and replace with “{ITEM_TITLE} {ITEM_DATE}”.
thanks. regarding the {ITEM_DATE}, is there a way to make it display only the day rather than all the details which often include the time? also how could i modify the font size / color for this?
Go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php, look for simplepie_date_format and change it to maybe “m d”. More info on date formatting.
Hmm… Now I just added a page, clicked to use OneNews template, added a box of widgets to that page in the widgets section.. And it’s not showing up at all when I save and then refresh the website.
try clearly the cache..
clearing*
Last question.
Is it possible for me to add a feed box that covers content I have posted somewhere on the site? And how would I go about setting up a section of the site that’s open to posting my own articles?
Do you mean a sideblog? You can create a category (e.g blog) and make new posts to the blog category. Then your blog will be at http://www.mma.bs/category/blog/ and feed at http://www.mma.bs/category/blog/feed/
The support you offer is great and really appreciated. Thank you for your time!
Hi,
I cant change the value for “enable_order_by_date”.
It just stays set at “1″.
Tried to set some permissions but had no luck so far.
I am using the newest WP built & a new installation.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
Can you try to set it to ‘false’ instead of ’0′?
Can this theme be used WITHIN a more dominant theme? For example, I’m using another premium theme for my site, but I’d like one of my categories (I have UFC, Dream, Boxing, Gear, Aggregation for example) to take visitors to a page done-up like this theme, aggregating all the news outlets for my visitors.
If that was covered above I’m really sorry, I’m learning as fast as I can on this but my eyes get a little crossed reading through the above area, with all the @#$)(!*)! hah..
Thanks for any help!
Not recommended as too much re-coding required.
My suggestion is to install another copy of WP with OneNews in a subfolder e.g buzz. Then point your visitors to http://mma.bs/buzz/
Perfect. Thank you, sir.
Hi, as I said before, when possible I would share my website. So here it is http://www.enovedad.com/ , there are lot´s of things to do more, but it´s already indexing.
For those who are having speed problems because of the calls to RSS, I have set up some cron jobs to execute hourly, also WP-SuperCache plugin, and well, I think it runs quite fast. I had a memory issue with the maximum number of feeds being called at same time, but I solved it doing various cron jobs.
I hope can help somebody.
what cron jobs did you setup?
You can find all the information here http://bit.ly/4WPaTD
Do you plan to make design more colorful?
Not at the moment. Feel free to tweak the css to your liking.
I am thinking to buy this theme but i can’t be sure that ;
is this theme can save the all RSS news to my blog with all content ?
For example , my blog adress is whereisblog . com The RSS have this News :
( News Title123
Content bla bla bla bla …
And my theme can create and save
whereismyblog . com/news-title123 post from this RSS ?
Thanks.
This theme will not save the rss content, it will only display the latest rss content.
So , can we use your WP ROBOT plugin rss service with this theme ?
And it can be show news normally ?
Possible as you can setup a sideblog for this theme e.g http://ericulous.com/onenews/category/wordpress/
Create a category ‘blog’ and make new posts to that category. Then you will have your blog at http://yourdomain.com/category/blog/
Hi,
I bought your script a couple of weeks ago. If i want to display the say 1 to 5 post within the rss and then say the next 5 to 12 somewhere else, but via the same rss feed. Here is some code, i can’t figure out how to use the get_items syntax.
8,
‘template’ => ‘textrss’,
));
?>
The get_items does not work with this code snippet. It is a lower level function where you have to write out much more code to display the feed. Hence unfortunately unable to display truncated feeds.
Well is there any solution to this. I have implemented dddropdown script and I am trying to split 1 rss feed into 2 and display them on different sections of the page. Is there are solution for this?
Parse your feed through yahoo pipes.
Hello, I was able to fix the issue and had another question-
Where can I find the line to edit the tooltip that pops up when you mouseover? I really like the fixed tooltip of the AddThis button and I’d like the rest of links to have that as well.
Thanks!
Try this hack.
Thanks for that, I did get that to work just fine- what do I change in boxover.js to get the same Fixed Tooltip for the links?
Are you referring to the links inside the boxover? Not workable as users will not be able to position their mouse over the addthis button within the boxover.
Yes that was the problem I was having with my modifications, makes sense!
Hey and by the way…. THANK YOU for all of your support; these simple, prompt responses absolutely dwarf all of the tech support I have ever received; I def will be be a returning customer, thanks a lot!
1) Is the new pages created we need to setup manually or automatically it comes in navigation bar above?
2) How to setup the sideblog?
Thanks for your help
Doulos
1. If you are referring to the alphabets list, you can add the OneNews Alphabets Lists from the widgets panel to each page.
2. Setting up the sideblog.
How can I change the background color of the txt popup box? I tried editing the dvBdy.style.background=’#ececec in the header.php but it only worked on the bottom half of the popup box. Thank you in advance for your help!
You also need to edit the image file at /onenewspremium/images/bg_newsblock.gif
Hello Genkisan,
I want to insert a relative date in the preview popup instead of the normal date. (like Popurls.com have it) I found a function on the Simple Pie Website for this:
http://simplepie.org/wiki/tutorial/use_relative_dates?s=date&s=format
But I couldn’t figure out, where and how to insert the new echo doRelativeDate(…) in the OneNews Template. Could you please tell me the file name and the line, and what to insert?
thanks alot
OneNews uses a template system so the relative date article may not work wholesale.
To manipulate the date, you should probably be looking into simplepie_wordpress_2.php line 1503-1506
if ($date = $item->get_date($date_format))
…
}
Hey,
I’m so interested in this OneNews theme and wanna purchase it, but I have one point to ask you guys: How does OneNews support Chinese (zh-CN)?
Many Thanks
Felix
The theme is not gettext-ready but it will auto display feeds in chinese if the feeds have chinese characters.
Is it possible to change it from 3 widgets per row to 2?
Nope, as too much re-coding required.
Hi there, I’m having trouble getting my 404 page to work. Any help?
You need to enable permalinks.
Where can I make feed block titles open in a new window? They’re taking the visitor away from the site.
In includes/widgets.php, replace all
<a rel="nofollow"
with
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
Thanks Genkisan. I could not find that!
Sorry if this has been asked above….
How do i restrict the feed titles to only one line. i.e. if its too long then it is truncated to keep within one line.
thanks
Paul
Try this.
That worked great. Thanks.
Does anyone have a good replacement for the Sticky Menu plugin?

I can’t make Onenews to work with WP-Click-Tracker plugin/widget for some reason. Top clicks are not being displayed. Is it possible at all?
Sorry I’m not familiar with that plugin.
How can you make the box-over display above the link when there is no sufficient below the browser, so as to make the link clickable?
Not possible unfortunately.
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to say you should buy this theme! I bought it a while back and it is awesome! I love it
Thank you Genkisan for all the support when I first bought this theme. It was very appreciated!
Bottom Line, this is a wonderful theme that goes above and beyone what you need it to do! So buy it!

Yes.
Hi!
Is there a way to make a white background for the content and a regular image background behind that?
Most websites have a white background for the actual area where all of the content like the text and pictures are displayed and then behind that they have their actual background.
How can I do this with this theme?
Thank you for the help!
I afraid not as the theme structure was not built with that in mind.
I’m working with my clients at http://www.hercircuit.com who bought your theme on my recommendation. We’ve hit one odd thing – we have three pages whose names start with K but the front page index doesn’t show them.
Any ideas?
Kermit Woodall
http://kermitwoodall.com
Is the letter “k” in the alphabet list widget, with spacing before and after?
how to change styleb.css to style.css and vice versa. please help me detaily telling it.
I am no css guru, but just change over the file names:
so rename:
styleb.css > style.css
style.css > styleb.css
Think that should do it
I’m seeing the following errors in my apache logs:
[Mon Mar 29 18:06:49 2010] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Notice: XML error: XML_ERR_NAME_REQUIRED at line 20, column 13 in /…../wp-content/themes/onenews/includes/simplepie.inc on line 1783, referer: …
A search in google indicates it’s due to an invalid feed with “&” character is a valid character in XML.
So you may want to notify the webmaster regarding his feed being invalid.
Anyway since it’s just a php notice you can probably ignore it.
How would I go about adding a ‘more’ option as on popurls – to display for example 30, instead of 15 feeds.
Thank you in advance…
No solution for that feature unfortunately.
hi
How to change tooltip appearance ?

I want to implement google adsense code in one of the column in textRSS (in HTML area) widget. Even with the smallest ad format (125×125) size, it displays only the top portion (hardly any) of the ad. How to implement the adsense code so that it display the complete ad, just like you show it in you demo under “ads by ericulous”
Thanks much.
Did you use the 1 line hack? Then it’s probably caused by that and unfortunately the ads and that hack can’t work together.
Yep,I used the 1 line hack…umm too bad I cannot have both
Hi
Please see the picture below
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?gmoqotunmno
What should I do to solve this problem
Can you share your blog url as I need to view the html code to determine the error.
hi
This problem was due to some pictures on RSS Flickr
Is that possible that
If RSS Flickr some photos may not be available instead put a picture of an empty
I don’t think so. Maybe you can try parsing the feed through http://pipes.yahoo.com and see if it can filter out the desired feed.
How can the service pipes to filter out content RSS Flickr
So that the output does not show posts without photos
You can create an example for me
I’m not sure myself. Please check out the pipes documentation.
Hi,
I wonder if you can help me. I have a development team who has integrated the OneNews theme into a custom theme for our website, as I wanted to get the PopURLs/Alltop functionality for the News Page on the website.
http://kgwanyape.com/news/
I have added textRSS Widgets to news_left, news_center, news_right components of the Widgets Dashboard. The feeds for Left and Right columns are fine, but the Center column is still showing the Ericulous default content, and none of the RSS feeds I’ve entered.
I also see that the Flickr and YouTube content is confined to a column and is not running across 3 columns as expected (in your demo, and of course PopURLs/Alltops layout.
I understand that this ‘might’ be because of the way the techies have integrated the OneNews code … (unfortunately they’re now away on Easter holidays).
But perhaps I am missing *something* … and you may be able to highlight what that *something* might be.
Many thanks,
Darren
Unfortunately I can’t tell simply by looking at the site. I would suggest waiting for your techs to look into it as they know their code best.
Hi,
Can you help me create a custom photo feed so that images from this wordpress site: http://culinaryjunkies.com/marketplace/
will display like the flickr feed.
Can you point me in the right direction just so I can give it a try. I don’t know anything about feeds but i know I can learn anything if given a little help
Thank you Genkisan!
That’s beyond me unfortunately.
How to actively monitor the feeds:
- Some of the feeds don’t get updated, how can I detect if something like that happens, even after 24 hours.
- What could be the reason, if the feed does not get updated in the site but get updated in my personal rss tool like feeddaemon.
- what are the errors I should be looking for in apache logs if the feed provider blocked my site?
Thanks
Not sure about 1, 3.
Perhaps you can try deleting the cache files in “\onenewspremium\includes\cache”. Or try feeding the feed through feedburner or yahoo pipes.
Hi,
1 – Above, you posted this info below telling how to change the logo, but, I do not understand what you mean with the “uncomment line 58″, can you clarify, please?
2. In header.php, uncomment line 58 and delete line 59-62.
Remember to upload your logo.gif to the theme images folder. May also need to edit both style.css/styleb.css line 38 to adjust the logo position.
2 – How to make all the feed columns dispülay with the same height, to make the site look better? I’ve choosen 10 feeds, but, I need a solution independently of the number of feeds choosen.
3 – How to increase the header height? The space since the very top of the browser window to the logo.
Thanks
1. Replace
<!–<div id="logo"><a href="<?php //bloginfo('url') ?>" title="Home"><img src="<?php //bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="Home" /></a></div>–>
with
<div id="logo"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>" title="Home"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="Home" /></a></div>
2. Try this hack. You will still need to have the same number of feeds for each row because a 15 item feed will obviously be longer than a 10 item feed.
3. In style.css, look for “#top { height: 70px;”. May also need to edit the background image top.jpg
1 – Thanks
2 – Where in the CSS file I put this code? In the beginning, in the end, or it replaces some other code?
3 – That changes the distance from the header image to the news blocks, what I want is increase the distance from the very top of the page to the title of the site(the logo).
Thanks
It replaces the existing css class somewhere in line 78.
In style.css, change the margin property as below
body {
background: #fff url(images/top.jpg) repeat-x top;
color: #000;
font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 75%;
line-height: 125%;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
}
2. Try this hack. You will still need to have the same number of feeds for each row because a 15 item feed will obviously be longer than a 10 item feed.
I used this hack, as you said, but, I think that due to this change, now I have a problem with the OneNews Alphabet List widget, I began to add pages, and the distance between each letter is enormous, between the a and the b, etc, I will send you my url through your contact page, as I don’t want to disclose publicly my site.
There is a way to correct this with this widget, but still use the hack?
Thanks
Try manually setting the height for the alphabet widget. In onenewspremium\includes\widgets.php, look for 3 instances of
<h2><?php echo strtoupper($alphabet); ?></h2>
<ul>
and add min-height and height to the ul tag e.g
<ul style="min-height:20px; height:20px;">

My buddies at LinkedIn help me create a list of ten ways to use the service if you’re a small business person. Read about them here. There is also a great collection of LinkedIn tips and tricks at Linkedin.alltop.

Are you referring to not able to use some template tags like feed_author_name? I have commented out them for more speed. You can uncomment the lines to use them.
Hi I tried using ur widget page hack.. but now all pages are coming twice and messed up…… kindly help me to rectify it….
Hmm.. it doesn’t seem to work on WP2.9 but it shouldn’t result in page duplication. Simply don’t use the widgets-2.php and use the original widgets.php
Thanks Genkisan, I am using WP2.9, is it any hack to use page hacks. because my pages goes about 50 and very difficult everytime I add new feeds scrolling down…. or do i need to downgrade the WP. Please let me know…..
Downgrade if possible as I’m unable to get it to work in WP2.9.
Your theme is fantastic. I’ve been looking for a theme just like this and yours was quick & easy, and well worth the money. Thanks for putting it out here.
One question. I’m trying to filter my feeds using Yahoo Pipes and I’m seeing very erratic behavior. Some feeds are only displaying a few items, others aren’t displaying any and others still are displaying items and then displaying fewer items later.
I’m interested in knowing if anyone else has had a similar problem and if so, how to resolve this.
Here is my site: http://healthcarestaffingreport.com/
Any help is appreciated.
I’ve resolved this. Apparently Shared personal items in Google Reader items don’t play well with Yahoo Pipes.
Hi:
Love the theme. Does anyone know of away to have text RSS links open up within/on top of the site like the inline video player does for the YouTube videos, instead opening up in a new window. Then they can click the X button to return to the main page. Want to find a way to keep ppl on the site. Any thoughts?

Hi Can you please tell to make darker background for the news box when move over the mouse… you can check my site.. when we mouseover the news in three lines overlap with the below lines news. if i could make darker background for it like in alltops.com so it wont mingle. please help me……
You can change the background color by editing header.php and bg_newsblock.gif. More info here.
Hi Genkisan, I am not meaning newsblock background… but if you look at my site… i am using the alltop model of displaying single line and when we move around the lines it show the second and third line if it present, but the second and third line is mingle with the lines below…. the bakground of it is transparent i guess. how to make it dark or not transparent.. so the lines cannot confuse…. hope u understand my question. I am not good at english. help me pls…
In style.css, change the background color for the following class
.news-entry li a:hover {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #fafafa;
display:inline-block;
}
Hi,
If I wanted to align a logo image of a textrss widget to the center (instead of default which is to the left), how would i do this in the widgets.php file? Thanks..
Look for all the “<img class="favicon"” in widget.php and in front add
<div style="width:290; text-align:center"><img class="favicon"
Look for all the “aalt="Logo" />” and at the back add
alt="Logo" /></div>
This might sound crazy but is anyone else having trouble getting the new facebook like button to show up? Is there something in the code that is preventing iframes from being displayed?
Every time I try to place the Facebook Like button anywhere (.index, pages, posts, etc.) it doesn’t work. The page gets pushed down implying that something is happening but the area is blank. I’ve placed this button successfully on several other sites so this seems strange to me.
Any help is appreciated.
Not sure about the facebook button but no, this theme doesn’t have any iframe disabling code.
If it’s related to iframe, try changing the iframe width as it may be too big or small.
Hi,
Can you tell me what I need to do, to decrease the gap between the alphabet list widget, and a banner that I have right below it? The banner is placed between the copyright message and the alphabet list widget.
If you need to see my site, I sent you an email from this email on April 20th with the url.
Thanks
In style.css, look for and change the margin
.newsblock {
width:316px; float:left; padding:0; margin:0 0 30px 0;
}
Many thanks for your great support, I have one more question, I installed these two plugins below:
http://www.poradnik-webmastera.com/projekty/db_cache_reloaded
http://www.nexwp.com/stories/wp-widget-cache-for-wordpress
As the new blocks are widgets, do you think the second plugin is useful? If so, what is the best time to set? 3,600 seconds?
Thanks
Not too sure since I have not used the plugin before.
Is there a way to have text or photo rss sources load up in a popup window frame like the YouTube videos do?
I afraid not as the popup window frame only works for the videos.
When I replaced the title of the feed with a logo or favicon, it messes up the layout completely when viewed in Safari, it appears okay in Firefox/IE/Chrome. Have you encountered this issue?
Try entering “ ” into the “Header Title” field.
Thanks for the quick response Genkisan. I have previously tried that and it worked, but any modification to the favicon css code would make the problem return. For example, if I add any margin-bottom value to .favicon then the layout would again messes up:
.favicon {
float:left; margin-bottom: 12px; padding-right:5px; background-color:#fff;
}
I wanted to add some bottom margin to the logo because it’s too close to the first line of the feed. Any idea I can get this fixed? Much appreciate for your help.
Try changing the bottom padding or margin for .news-entry h2.
Or changing the top padding or margin for .news-entry ul.
That did the trick, thanks Genkisan!
Genkisan, I don’t know what i did but the pop up’s aren’t displaying info correctly. I was playing around with the Header.php and the css file and now it has random html in the popups. can you please look at my site and offer a solution? I would really appreciate your help on this. Sincerely
Reupload the boxover.js as it is missing at http://www.shalomly.com/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/onenewspremium/boxover.js
Wow, thanks for saving me. I have no idea how that disappeared. Thank you for your help! All the best to you!
Genkisan,
Is there a way to utilize Twitter feeds so that no mouseover displays and the actual embedded links are clickable?
Perhaps a Twitter widget plugin for Twitter RSS feeds?
Here is an example of what the Twitter RSS feeds look like:
http://conservativevine.com/tcot
I afraid not as it will affect other widgets.
I’m confused on something. I just purchased the theme with the intention of producing an Alltop style site. I wanted to create multiple pages and have the pages fill out a horizontal menu, ala Alltop. But, unless I’m missing something, your instructions tell me to place an alphabet widget on the front page, I’m assuming for using that to handle navigation instead. Is that right? You don’t have built in navigation in a horizontal menu, like AllTop?
You can try some of these plugins here.
Hi,
Just bought the theme and works great – thanks!
I am an noob user (first website ever) so this is probably a pretty basic question.
How can I have a section at the top of the page, above all the OneNews RSS’s, for my posts? I tried the “recent posts” widget, but this is just links to the posts, not the complete posts themselves.
Is there a way to have a section like this at the very top (ideally, customized so it is only a certain height, and maybe with a column for links to other posts)?
Any plug-ins or methods you can recommend?
Thanks!
PS – my site = http://www.personalizedhealthcarereport.com
PPS – this may be a comment repost – posted once and it didn’t show up so trying again!
You can try out these plugins.
Hello Geniskan,
When are you upgrading this theme with 3.0 wordpress menu? I bought it to use but not yet used because of menu system trouble. Hope you will do it soon.
Thanks
Doulos
Man.. they have to release it when I’m overseas. Give me a week or two to look into it. Or you can check this out for self-implementation.
Actually you don’t need the wordpress menu in 3.0 for the theme to work no?
Genkisan,
I am not an ITgeek.If you could fix this problem soon in the themes, that would save lot of time.
Thanks
You can actually use the built-in Navigation Menu widget.
Thanks for new update with wp 3.0 menu
Regarding this: “Widgets Ready Homepage -easily add and arrange feed blocks without touching any codes.”
How do I arrange the feed blocks? They line up straight down the page in the left column and I can’t find any settings to change their location or put space between feeds vertically. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!
I figured it out. I needed to use the text RSS. Thanks.
hiii
I am currently using this theme, I have setup RSS successfully, now I want to integrate Most popular and searching features for RSS as showing in http://alltop.com/. How can I do it ? Please help.
Thankyou
For search, you can try google custom search. And google analytic s or wordpress stats for tracking the popular links.
thanx for response,
but I am still facing problem with google custom search, its showing the default search results from google.can you please tell me how to integrate this?
I have not try integrating the custom search myself. Perhaps you can try the google custom search plugin.
I have installed wordpress stats plugin and using this code to get most popular rss feeds
Currently Hot
<a href="”>
but its showing most popular pages, instead of rss links.
I want to display most popular RSS feeds, as showing in http://alltop.com , please help
Try this code (it can’t display the title though).
<?php if ( function_exists('stats_get_csv') && $top_posts = stats_get_csv('clicks', 'days=7&limit=8') ) : ?>
<h3>Currently Hot</h3>
<ol>
<?php foreach ( $top_posts as $p ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $p['click']; ?>"><?php echo $p['click']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>
<?php endif; ?>
hw could u add the sidebar to your side. please can u help me in it….
Sorry but that will require major modification of the theme.
Great theme! I love it, quick question – what’s the edit to have the theme default to the ‘dark color’ scheme (styleb.css). I would like to remove the ‘toggle background colors’ button and have only 1 option for visitors.
Thanks!
Rename styleb.css to style.css & vice versa.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work with 3.0.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SimplePie in …/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc on line 382
It works in WP3.0. Most likely another conflicting plugin using simplepie is active. Deactivate them e.g Simplepie Core, Simplepie WP.
How to change the link of footer and other links were grey in color, I want to make it white or dark blue….
In style.css, add
#footer a {color:#f00 }
#footer a:hover {color:#0f0 }
My client asks for a news aggregation site. I spend 25 hours in WordPress, then move to Joomla! for another 13 hours, and still can’t get what I want. I just want the content to display nicely. Frack–I am not even being picky!
I don’t buy stuff I can do–ever, but obviously I can’t do this.
I purchased this template, and got it up and running in no time at all (big hint for do-it-your-self folks, disable all former plugins you added to make your own feed work first). I had a bunch of stuff I had played with, and finally just made a new mySql database and reinstalled WordPress, and all of my install problems disappeared like magic.
Anyway, just a few hours after downloading this template, I had a working aggregation site that I modified to match my own psd designed site with a few simple css modifications, and a few VERY minor changes in the z-index of the attached javascript files.
Just a note to future designers, while the coding is beautiful for a functional site menu, any mistakes with the home page (as mentioned in the documentation on working with this template) are brutal and unforgiving. Either edit with great care, or make your own menu (as I did).
Excellent job, designer guy.
Excellent theme.

If possible, could you please provide some guidance as to how to make the Header Links open in a new tab ?
Many thanks,
Valentine Cosgrave
found the solution in one of the posts above.
great theme
Your theme has worked flawlessly for the better part of a year, and I THANK YOU. Looks like my webhost moved my account to a new server recently.
Suddenly I’m getting these messages on my home page:
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/mounted-storage/home16b/sub001/sc18110-CIKP/www/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/processing/none.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php5/’) in /mounted-storage/home2/sub001/sc18110-CIKP/www/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php on line 895

So what’s broken and what can I fix? I reset all permissions to 777.
Thanks in advance!
Genkisan – no sooner than I make my post than I find the answer up above:
“Try logging in to persp icac ious.co.uk/news/wp-admin/options.php
Find the 3 options below, clear their values and click “Save Changes”
- simplepie_processing
- simplepie_set_cache_location
- simplepie_template”
Worked like a charm, also I cleared
- upload_path
As well, to fix an additional problem. All done.

Great theme.
Could you please provide some advice as to how to move the menu bar down the page a bit on both the black and white stylesheets ?
In style.css and styleb.css, add “margin-top:20px;” to the “top-menu-container” class.
Hi, I am trying to develop a site similar to your demo.
I have already bought Onenews and downloaded and installed it
How do I create a top menu band like the one you have on your demo page?
I dont see any information in the setup PDF.
I am a started on wordpress as well (I am moving from Joomla to WordPress for this site).
