Testimonials
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: $65 dollars
Saving copious amounts of time, launching uberfast and not pulling out all my hair: Priceless.
My client asks for a news aggregation site for 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.

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!
Try http://pipes.yahoo.com/
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
http://www.eridernews.com/newsfeeds/
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
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
- clear wp-super-cache and disable the plugin (if installed)
- rename your wp-content/plugins to confirm that it’s not plugins problem
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 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.
How can I change the date on the “hover box” over the headlines of the feeds? It’s in a different timezone…
For timezone, in simplepie_wordpress_2.php replace
with
Replace Europe/Athens with your own timezine
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?
In fact only a couple of feeds appear with the correct time… the date is always correct…
Thanks
Possible as date/time implementation can be different in rss or atom format, even among versions within themselves.
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.
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.
I found out that it is possible to increase memory without editing the php-info file
Worth a try if the host supports it.
How do I remove the tooltip? I dont want it as the text is too small!
In script.js, remove the following lines
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 it possible to have five instead of three columns per row?
Unfortunately no.
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. Also make sure you are not log into WordPress to see super cached pages.
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? 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).
Hi Cyrus/Genkisan,
I’m also having the same issue – the pages are taking a long time to load, even though on a per-page basis there are not that many feeds. Any additional info on how to improve speed would be appreciated, as the performance is becoming an issue now….Thanks
Yes having the same problem used a mixture caching plugins but still slow on first load sometimes in excess of 10 seconds. If I find away around this will let you guys know
Install WP Super Cache.
Please read my tip: http://ericulous.com/2007/06/11/popurls-clone-using-wordpress/#comment-24647
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.
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 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 think changing the values will help.
You can find the simplepie docs at http://simplepie.org/wiki/plugins/wordpress/simplepie_plugin_for_wordpress/customization
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.
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. In simplepie_wordpress_2.php,
line 1264, delete /*
line 2158, delete */
Thanks a lot! A great theme is one thing, but it is the great support that is completing this offer. Keep it up!
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.
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.
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/
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
Hello,
I’ve followed on your link and now is trying to set my cron job.
A small question to you (or anybody who knows the answer).
In the explanation part, I saw such a line:
Create a file named update_simplepie_cache.php and enter this text: …
then comes this
SimplePieWP(array([your feed urls here]),
So, how to separate different feed urls? whith comma or “;” ?
I’m not a php-guru so please help me in this matter,
Thanks
Do you plan to make design more colorful?
Not at the moment. Feel free to tweak the css to your liking.
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 localization-ready and 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.
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!
hi
How to change tooltip appearance ?
Such as change font type and color and size
thx
You can change the tooltip properties in style.css, .tooltip {} class
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi,
I am trying to find a way to consolidate and re-feed out the incoming feeds.
so, if someone subscribed to my site feed, they would be subscribing to all the incoming feeds as one feed.
any ideas?
uh… nvm… just read most of the other posts
I tried feedwordpress, and everything went blank.
Will try wp-o-matic next.
wp-o-matic isn’t compatible. Any idea what could be conflicting with feedwordpress?
Both OneNews and feedwordpress uses simplepie, hence the clash. To disable simplepie in OneNews, open functions.php in theme folder and change
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).’/includes/simplepie.inc’);
to
//require_once(dirname(__FILE__).’/includes/simplepie.inc’);
Or you can bunch your feeds together with http://pipes.yahoo.com, which also relieve some load off your server.
Ok, great thanks!! will give it a try
Youtube released an updated player. How can I modify (videoRSS) to be wide screen and use this new look? Example: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html
Seems like the new iframe code cannot be used in the theme. But you can change the video size by editing script.js.
In line 76, chage the width and height
And change the width and height in line 23 and 24
Thanks, that worked perfectly! However, It is a little too far to the right and I can’t figure out how to change css so videoframe is always centered, but i like it better now, nonetheless, thanks again.
In line 119, change the 200 to say 300
_vidPane.style.left=((document.body.clientWidth/2)-300)+’px’;
Hi, can this theme use affiliates feeds instead of RSS?
The affiliate feeds will have to be in rss format.
Hi, how I can make to post everyday with the same template like my regular page design/generated with widgets… let’s say .. an link archive with all news per day. I tray to “transform” file cache from supercache in to post. I’m not satisfy with the results. I tray also WPRobot and similar plugin ..works ok but show only one news/post ..and i want all news like in my subpages( http://netreporter.ro )in one post/day.some help please.
Sorry but I don’t have a solution to daily archival. Unless you want to do it manually like the way you did with the supercache. You can rename daily each supercached index.html to say index20101106.html and link direct to it from a post.
thanks, i know how i can do automatic name changes from supercache files but i don’t know how i can do automatic generated post every day and pointed/link to this files.
How do you do the auto renaming?
Run in crontab a small php script to rename downloaded files parameter for wget.The rename is done by wget. can be done also with other script to rename after download.
I deleted my script but i start from this bash(post#4):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1099378
and this
http://serverfault.com/questions/167083/wget-specify-directory-and-rename-the-file
In the next 3 day i’m busy but i will return with the script rebuilt if you think we can import in wordpress automatic this files like pages or post(prefered). I tray also “import html pages” plugin but something not work.I will digg next week.
Why not create a post daily that just link to these renamed html files. You probably need to create a wp cron job to run wp_insert_post.
Hi
I seem to be too stupid to figure out how to change the order of the pages in the menu bar – it’s probably dead simple
– but right now I can’t see it – any help appreciated

Please see this video on using wordpress custom menu feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkuHbkaieZ4
Is it possible to set up the One News theme as a sub-section of my current WordPress-powered site? (i.e. It would be a sub-page on the site labeled “news”).
Thanks in advance!
Integrating your current theme with OneNews will not be easy. You can install another copy of WordPress in a subdirectory named “news” and activate OneNews there.Or run WordPress in Multisite mode.
I’ve just installed wordpress multisite and upgraded to the latest version and it doesn;t recognise the one news theme in the Appearance section
Should work as this site is running on multisite too. Remember to go to Network Admin > Themes and Network Enable the theme.
Just a comment to mark the release of OneNews version 3.0.
Thanks for the new release.
It would have been great if it had the option to have the favicons.
You can use the “Logo Url” field in the widgets.
That’s pain to get another url for each one. Maybe in the next version give option to automatically grab it.
And also a more links.
It has really improved a lot
Not all favicon are found in the root as favicon.ico. Some are in subdirectories and some may even be in png format. It will be inefficient to scrape each site just to get the right path and file.
I beg to differ. If you take the templatic.com approach for their theme aggregator, you will see that they fetch the favicon on the title line.
If you look at their demo, some of the favicons are not showing. So it’s not a fail-safe method.
http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=foxnews.com (replace foxnews.com with your target domain) is a search query that is very reliable at this time to extract favicons.
Cheers
Good find but still not a failsafe way (see http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=templatic.com). But you can still use the google url in the Logo Url field for convenience.
I see the wisdom of your decision to leave it up webmasters to link to logos or favicons. People are just lazy when it comes to searching thousands of sites.
I could easily get your favicon with http://www.getfavicon.org/
Thanks for the update, there are some great new features in there, very useful!
I have a couple of issues that maybe there is a work around.
1. The non-moving tooltip popup is nice/better, but it also means that when you scroll down a page the links below the current link the user is on, is no longer active, without rolling off the popup to the left side. On popurls they have a similar setup, but the popup box is offset downward by a few pixels so that the user can scroll down through links. Can you explain how to offset the popup box downward?
2. I am utilizing the black/white switcher and font resize, is there code somewhere I can re-activate this. Font size not so important, but black/white more so.
Thanks!
1. In script.js, offset: [0,18]
where offset: [y,x]
2. Having rewritten the code, I’m afraid there’s no easy way to reactivate it. You can take a look at the script used in v2.5 at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/stylesheetswitcher.htm. You will also need to duplicate the style.css and change the colors (instead of using the new styleplus.css).
Hi,
How do I add the “share this” links for each article within the rss widget? I want it to look like you have it on the Onenews demo site.
Thanks.
Go to WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Settings > Social Icons in Tooltip.
Great update! Thanks! Been waiting for that dropdown subtmenu on the navigation/header. However, I can’t seem to find the correct button to activate it. I’ve already added subpages to parent pages but they aren’t automatically showing up on the menu navigation (unlike your “Gadgets” with dropdown arrow on your sample/theme page). Please help.
Actually you don’t need to add the subpages. Go to Appearance > Menus and create your menu (watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkuHbkaieZ4). Btw the dropdown arrow does not appear automatically. You can copy and paste this symbol ▼ here.
Hi Genkisan,
First off greetings from Switzerland and compliments on your fine script. I bought the pro version last week and I got it up and running without any problems right out the box.
However, I have a question which you may be able to help with. I have noticed that on the posts the date only appears on the one post, the one at the top of the page after the feeds have been pulled. all subsequent posts have no date or time stamp, until one gets to the posts for the day before. Is this normal? I would like each posted created to show the time and the date.
many thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me regarding this matter.
best,
Paul
Thanks for catching the bug. In index.php and search.php, please find
the_date()
and replace with
echo get_the_date()
Excellent! Thanks!
Here is the code I used for the time and the date on the posts:
I may have a question on the styles sheets later.. I’ll check this thread first though.
Thanks once again for the quick reply. Much appreciated.
Paul.
Hi Genkisan,
A quick question please. Is it possible to have one feed across three columns? Is there something I can do with the code to make it possible.
Many thanks,
Paul
Try these code in the OneNews HTML widget.
Or maybe
Not quite what I had in mind. I was after a single feed cascading down over three columns rather than just the one.
thanks.
You can use yahoo pipes, to split the feed.
Hi, i would like to display the full titles in OneNews text RSS widget and disable the restriction of specified number of characters. Can you please help me with this?
To display full titles, open style.css and remove 2 instances of
height: 1.5em;
overflow: hidden;
To display full content, go to WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Settings,
change “Description Length in Tooltip” to a large number e.g 999999
Ack…. Deleted a Page (yeah, I didn’t read everything LOL) and now subsequent new Pages do not show up in Widget area…
Is there a way recover the functionality ?
Thanks
Unfortunately no. You will have to delete the subsequent pages (or maybe all the onenews pages).
Cool, thanks for the follow-up… what I get for being an idiot and not RTFM
Great Work btw !
Hi Genkisan.
Fella, this is a great theme and I’m using it to put together a pretty good news site. However, there are some issues you may be able to help me with.
Plugins:
This theme is quite temperamental when used in conjunction with some plugins.
Just to give you an idea how I have mine set up.
I am using the Onenews theme as the index.
For the blog posts I am aggregating news items as posts using Feedwordpress.
Issue 1)
At the start both worked well together then all of a sudden when adding rss feeds to the front page using the textrss they wouldn’t work. When I switched off feedpress they did. My workaround is that when I need to add a new feed using the textrss widget I turn off Feedwordpress, add the feed then turn it back on again. (i’m ok with this for now)!
Issue 2) IMPORTANT!
Tooltip share icons/services
This thirdparty add service you have built in is overkill. Too many share it services for me and others I would guess. Also, it adds unnecessary page loading time on the site. Also, when a visitor tweets one my links it will say ‘via addthis’. I have no interest in promoting that site via my content!
I would like to add the following services only on mine (and not via Addthis).
Facebook
Twitter
Digg
Delicious
Stumbleupon
Can you show me how to do that in the textrss.tmpl file please?
All for now. I hope you can help me with social sharing issue. If so, I can launch my new site by Friday. I will send you a link to check out once it is live.
Best regards from Switzerland and once again, thanks fro a super theme!
Paul.
The feedwordpress plugin is kinda complicated for me to understand. I can only guess the cause is due to both using simplepie class.
You can replace the addthis code with your own services in includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php line2248-2253.
How can I have the page name appear above the feeds? For example, if I have a page called “sports”, with feeds from different sports websites, how can I have the word “Sports” appear above the feed results (so users know what topic they are reading about)?
Thanks!
You can use the OneNews HTML widget.
Can I place advertising banners and blocks in theme, if so, how?
You can use the OneNews HTML widget to display full width banners. Or you can use the “Content to display before feed” & “Content to display after feed” fields in the OneNews textRSS widget.
Might be a silly question but how can I change the hover color on the top menu? I have looked and looked in the CSS file and can’t seem to find anything.
Thanks.
You can change the background-color in the following classes.
.top-menu-container ul.menu li a:hover { border:none; background-color:#f00; }
.top-menu-container ul.menu li.current-menu-item a { border:none; background-color:#f00; }
.top-menu-container ul.menu li.current_page_item a { border:none; background-color:#f00; }
Hello,
Ijust bought this template too.
I want to display most popular stories, as showing in http://alltop.com
I also would like to add a “more” button on each column of Textrss widget, like in this site: http://web20.originalsignal.com/
Next version update could contain an Contact and Full Width Template Page
Regards,
Hot/Popular Links with Titles hack (may not be able to retrieve title for some links)
First install and activate Google Stats plugin.
Then add the following code to “Content to display after feed” field in a textRSS widget.
KIV in next version for full width page and more button.
I would like to add a “more” button on each column of Textrss widget, like in this site: http://web20.originalsignal.com/
For example: I will show 7 headlines, and clicking on button “more” it will show 15 headlines.
Regards,
Should be in the next version, hopefully.
This is absolutely perfect. I’m using it for my UFO site at http://MOST.RECENTUFOSIGHTING.COM (obviously a subdomain of RecentUFOsighting.com) – and my visitors love it! Thank you!
I’m curious – I hope I didn’t miss it in the above comments, but is there a way to show a Twitter feed or Real-time discussion via Google? I tried various ways, creating a Google Alert for the RT discussions, and it didn’t work. And Twitter, I can’t find a way to subscribe to a #UFO tag, or a person’s feed (not my own).
Any help on either of those would be awesome. Thank you again, theme author!
Thomas @ 99niches (geez, maybe I should buy another license and use it over at 99niches.com too…)
Genkisan, would you be available for hire to do a Twitter, Facebook Like or Share, and StumbleUpon icon in place of the addthis icon?
Try these
http://www.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=en_sg&hl=en&q=ufo&cf=all&output=rss
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=ufo
I’m not taking projects at the moment. But you can find more of the same icons here.
Thank you, sir, that seemed to work great!
we’re having a weird thing happen — for some reason the flickr images, when clicked, aren’t taking us to a new window and flickr page on our PC. It works on Mac (Chrome, Safari, Opera & Firefox) but not on IE 7. Is there something we can do to make sure the flickr thumbnails work for everyone? thanks!
Do you see the same issue with the flickr images on my demo blog?
http://ericulous.com/demo/
Mind sharing the flickr feed you are using?
hello!
Thanks so much for your reply. The feed we’re using is from Flickr, for “classic cars”. We just upgraded to IE8 on the PC and it is working fine. Must be something with IE7.
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=automobile,classic,cars&lang=en-us&format=atom
Hello Sir,
I finally purchased your theme and I must say, I like it, real smooth.
I have a couple of questions but may hire you for some work.
1. I hate the TAGS that appear on the right hand side bottom, how do I remove that ?
2. I have a list of CATEGORIES ( used from my previous theme), they too appear at the bottom of the page. The last theme used, the categories appear on the top bar, how can I make this happen and what can I do alternatively.
thank you
1. In index.php and single.php, delete the following lines
2. I assume you like the categories to appear above the divider line. In index.php and single.php, cut the following line
and paste it under the <h2> tag as below
Is it any way to make three columns into two columns and adjust widhth accordingly ……. pls let me know asap.
Unfortunately that will require major modifications of the theme.
Hi
Have tried to create pages like tech news, health news and after creating pages when I click on these pages, error comes up “webpage can not be found” http 404.
Could you pls point out what wrong with this? Also, would appreciate if you could inform if it is possible to chnage the look n feel i.e. colours, backgrounds, fonts etc and how can it be done.
Thanx in advance.
Ruchika
Also, wondering how to create header menu and social medial (facebook, twitter etc) links. Not able to find the options.
Sorry, but I am new to wordpress also.
Thanx
404 error – probably need to enable permalink
Look and feel – edit style.css
Create header menu – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkuHbkaieZ4
Social media icons – Login to WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Settings (enter url for the respective header icons url).
Hi,
Love your OneNews Template and it’s working great. Just having one problem. Can’t get new pages to nest under a parent. They just don’t show up. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
If you are referring to the top menu, you can use the Custom Menus (WP-Admin > Appearance > Menus)(Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkuHbkaieZ4)
Hello,
I continue to enhance the theme you created.
I have a few more questions:
1. On your demo, you were able to add an Ad next to your RSS Feed
,how can I do that?
2. referring to your Dark Demo Theme again, how were you able to stack the GOOGLE NEWS and create the Ad at the end.
3. How do I create the TAGS at the end of your Dark Demo in to the top 25 tags and maintain the same size font for each tag despite the usages for the tags.
I refer to the demo since it does not require additional coding.
1 & 2: Insert your ad code to the “Content to display before feed” or “Content to display after feed” fields in the OneNews textRSS widget.
3. In footer.php, edit wp_tag_cloud function (see documentation). Or try this plugin.
Hello, nice job!
I wander if I can shorten the Feed description. Or, vice verse, how can I enlarge the Feed description text.
Thanks in advance
Login to WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Settings and set the “Description Length in Tooltip”.
In style.css, change the .tooltip font-size.
Quite an impressive theme. Pls share some websites where this is being used -apart from your demo version.
Some sites from user comments

http://www.wire-news.com

Hi! Here is my version!
http://news.jungle.mn
Tnx for Genkisan.
Hi thanks for the great theme, we are using it here: baystatebuzz.com Would like to know if under the blog function, I can reduce the post summary to just the headline and the comment “bubble” so I can display more posts using less real estate? Of course, a visitor can click on the headline to read the full post.
In index.php, delete
and delete
This is cool, but how do i get more than 10 articles listed
WP-Admin > Settings > Reading > “Blog pages show at most”.
Cheers mate, that’s the bomb
Dear Genkisan,
A couple of days ago I bought your product and installed at http://armrss.com
Since now, I had no problem with installing and customizing of onenews.
The only question remains is about the publication time matters (e.g., 2 hours ago, 7 Mar 11, 9:39am). Is it possible to translate “2 hours ago” and similar statements, and, if yes, in which files should I looking for the code.
Thanks again for excellent product and sustainable support.
You can translate the following terms in functions.php
- min ago
- mins ago
- hour ago
- hours ago
- day ago
- days ago
i have this problem: ( themes/onenewspremium/includes/cache/ “bunch of numbers”.spc is not writeable in /home/********/public_html/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc on line 1769 ) on all of the widget boxes and i have no idea how to fix it… all files and folders are in recommended permission settings, tnx
Try deleting all files in the themes/onenewspremium/includes/cache/ folder.
I have 728 x 90 ads in my blog posts…
can the vertical lines be moved so they don’t go straight through the ads of the 728 x 90 ads thereby giving me more room for my 300 x 250 ads.
Play around with width settings to suit your need. In style.css,
replace all 580px with 740px
and replace
with
and replace
with
I no longer use the side bar anything I still though continue to use the 728 x 90 ads.. how do I remove the vertical lines that run through the blog posting?
Delete “background: transparent url(images/bg_post.png) repeat-y 605px top;”
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!
Genkisan,
We’ve incorporated some of the changes requested on this site on a test server. We have a few more request.
I work for Bloomberg Research (part of Bloomberg LP) I’ve look at your product very closely and we LOVE it. I have it running on my test web site , I am however interested in three things:
1. When will you upgrade the product – we don’t what to duplicate your efforts.
2. We will purchase the Enterprise product but we need to know how is it possible copy the Text/Video/Photo RSS feeds files from one site to another site without breaking it.(basically clone the site)
3. We would like to change the background color to solid black, how do we make that change?
thanks,
You have an absolute great product.
Richard
1. I don’t have a timeline but let’s put it at 2-3 months. Probably just a minor upgrade.
2. The settings should be intact. See Moving WordPress guide.
3. In styleplus.css, change
background-color: #1f1f1f;
to
background-color: #000;
Thanks for the reply..
Does your theme write to the database… I am asking because I just want to move your theme folder from one location to another location, hoping things will work with slight modification.
thanks again.
You may need to reset the theme path. See WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Guide, under “Error: Cache directory is not writable”.
Hi,
What will happen (good or bad) If you disable simple pie in onenews to be able to use feedworpress plugin? Will this affect the way onenews works in any way?
Not really sure. I guess the only way to find out is to try it out.
What is simplepie used for in Onenews? The reason I ask is because I want the theme to work properly. If I add “//” like you advised Greg above, will the theme stop working?
Simplepie is used for fetching feeds in both Onenews and FWP. It’s an essential component for both when used alone. Give it a try to see if both will work together with or without the hack. You can always undo later.
Hello,
I’ve followed on one of commenter who suggested to add a cron job described at http://simplepie.org/wiki/tutorial/setting_up_a_cron_job_with_simplepie
A small question to you (or anybody who knows the answer).
In the explanation part, I saw such a line:
Create a file named update_simplepie_cache.php and enter this text: …
then comes this
…
SimplePieWP(array([your feed urls here]),
…
So, how to separate different feed urls from each other? With comma or “;” ? How?
I’m not a php-guru so please help me in this matter,
Thanks
Or, maybe a detailed instruction please.
For, example, in the last stage, where should I set my cache duration, in my new-created update_simplepie_cache.php or /includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php
Thank you
Sorry but I’m not familiar with the cron setup.
I noticed something after getting everything installed and setup. The theme doesn’t function well with mobile apps (WP Touch Pro, Wapple, etc). Do you know if there’s a way to get a mobile version online so the feeds are easily displayed on an iPhone or Android, etc? Similar to how alltop.com/m is set up.
Thanks for your help
I will be trying to make the next version mobile-friendly but no promises.
Thanks for getting back to me! I’m really enjoying the theme so far. No worries if a mobile-friendly version doesn’t make the next update. I was just curious if I missed a setting or something.
Take Care
This theme is fantastic. I will be utilizing it for a brand new project. Mobile support is a definite must these days. Genkisan, would your plans be to offer native mobile support or compatibility with something like the plugin WP Touch?
I tested some of the mobile plugins and it proved more difficult than I expected. So I’m unable to confirm if it will be mobile friendly at this point of time.
Would it be possible to at least have the site RSS feed to include not just the blog content but the aggregated sources in the One News Widgets as well? That way somebody could at least use a mobile RSS Reader to check out all the latest headlines.
Unfortunately no. However you can combine all of your feeds using yahoo pipes and use the generated feed as your rss feed.
Have you tested the Wapple mobile plugin? I just found out about it:
http://mobilewebjunkie.com/wordpress-mobile-plugin-install-guide-and-faq/
Yup, have tried most of the mobile plugins in the wp.org directory.
I have been playing around with the mobile issue and the theme works fine on the iPad but is wonky on an iPhone or Android. The only solution that I can see that works (at this time) is by setting up a mobile page and basically listing the RSS feeds as headlines in the body as a regular blog. This way people who access the mobile page will get a linear view of all the feeds with no formatting, just like regular blog posts.
If anybody has any other ideas I would love to hear them!
Tooltip is fixed by a JS in footer.php.
$(“.itemtitle”).tooltip({
position: ‘bottom center’,
offset: [0,18]
});
However, I’d like to make it moveable by dragging the hover-pointer similar to alltop.
Please help me in this matter.
Thanks
Unfortunately the script does not support moving tooltip.
Can you tell me if you have a similar widget (or create a similar widget) like alphabet List for category list. I would like to create a category list that I could put in the middle of my long list of feeds so that users do not have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. I prefer not to create a menu item.
Is there a way this could be created?
Richard
If you dun mind hardcoding, you can modify the alphabet html source below and put it into the OneNews HTML widget.
<div class="newsblock">
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<h2>test</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="newsblock">
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<h2>test</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
</ul>

<div class="newsblock">

Hi I’d love to find archive.php page on your theme but i can’t find where i can find the page?
The theme does not have a archive.php page. You can check out these plugins to create one.
Hello, just wondering if it would be possible to integrate a url shortner to track how many links are clicked? Similar to bit.ly or adf.ly?
Unfortunately there’s no easy way to integrate them.
can I have sample data of demo site if I purchase your theme, ??
Thanks
Unfortunately not possible as widgets data are not easily transferable.
Hello Genkisan,
Sorry, one little question:
Is it possible to change a background color of a theme?
Regards,
Igor.
In style.css, add background-color: #1f1f1f; to the body class (see styleplus.css for reference).
Hello,
I’m looking for a plug in that will allow me to create a mailing list and send out information through the email.
I should be able to incorporate this plug in the ONENEWS theme
I’ve only used the feedburner service for mailing list though it only send out updates on blog posts. Simply use any mailing list plugin that supports insertion of the form through php. Then you can insert the php code into the “Content to display…” fields in the OneNews textRSS widget.
How do I add the FEEDBURNER under the SEARCH BOX like the way you have it. I want to add:
Feed Readers | Subscribe Feed | Subscribe Email
thanks
In header.php, insert the html code after the rss icon link.
Genkisan,
I understand you are busy.
Please re-read my request and please look at this code.
I thank you for your support but ask that you carefully read the question before responding. Your response could reflect major changes on my website, I’m not interested in changing
Look at the top of your ericulous site. the code found below DOES NOT resemble the top right side of your web site. I am asking for code that resembles your top right hand side code:
This the code provided by FEEDBURNER
Enter your email address:Delivered by FeedBurner
Subscribe to Blog News Service by Email
As I said, simply paste that code into header.php. Or just modify my code accordingly like replacing your id. In header.php, find
and below add
3 links may be too long to fit so you may have to do with 2. The feed readers code is from feedburner’s FeedCount widget.
I hope you understand that the theme does not come with the customization. However I have provided general guidance so far but don’t expect spoonfeeding. If you are going to need more such customization, it would be better to get someone good with wordpress. He will be able to do the changes offline before deploying.
I would like to create a new page to be able to present my blog posts but my when I do this my blog posts go to the “home” page. I have set the homepage up with the onenews template so to not to be my blog page.
Any suggestions on how I do this?
Thanks
You can use the category link to present your blog posts.

Hi Genkisan,
Would it speed up Onenews’ grabbing of the feeds, if I were to take all the feeds and burn them with Feedburner and then point the Onenews widgets to the FB feeds?
(assuming that this could work, as FB has more powerful servers, feed pushing power, and regular caching etc)
Possible. No harm testing it out.
ıs there a way to set the code so that the first bar doesn’t open automatically. (So when you open the site all the bars collapsed?
Unfortunately no.
Hi is it possible to have three columns for some of the widgets. E.g three PAGE widgets in one row. Or three TEXT widget in one row? Basically I want it to be similar to how we are able to have three columns of the ONE NEWS TextRSS widget in one row.
Unfortunately no as they are of different structure.
Hi,
i need to translate OneNews in French but i have a difficulty with one thing.
I don’t know how can i change the month in french !
Can i have some help ?
Thanks
Not too sure but you probably need to install the french language pack for WordPress itself.
Already try, don’t work. My wordpress (MU – 3.1.2) is in french, all my blog are in french….
I was thinking like you but …don’t work.
A workaround would be to display the months in numerals. Go to WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Settings and change Date Format in Tooltip to “j m y, g:ia”.
I will do that for the moment, thanks
I have another question !
How can i make an RSS of my onenews page. I see a link at the top but the RSS is empty.
THX again
The link at the top is for your blog posts (if you have any). There is no feed associated with each onenews page.
I’d like to use the FULL length of the RSS FEED widget instead of using the 3 columns, how do I do that

Hi
I was wondering if there is a limit to the number of feeds you can have coming to your website. My site has slowed down quite a bit and was wondering if that’s just a side effect of the number of feeds or if there is something I can do to speed it up. The site is http://www.holymackinaw.com
Thanks
No limit on number of feeds (perhaps only by your server load). You may want to install super cache plugin for better performance.
Hello,
Thank you for creating such a great site.
I just installed the onenews theme, and tried to change the header, but that didn’t work for me.
I uploaded one to the exact measurements given, but nothing happened.
Here’s the url: http://www.liveworkplayla.com/news-3/
Thanks,
Lisa
Go to WP-Admin > Appearnace > OneNews Settings and change Logo to “Image”.
Hi
I’d like to include a banner or a google ad just below the news feeds like in your demo on the right hand side. How do i do this?
Also can i replace the wordpress search in the header with a google custom search?
Thanks Mike
In the textRSS widget, enter your adsense code in “Content to display after feed”.
You will need to edit header.php for the google custom search.
Hi. Very happy with your theme!
One question: How can i put something (ads, weather…) in the left or right sidebar of the page? When i put something in the sidebar widget, it does not work.
Best regards and thank you!
The sidebar widget-area is for the blog section sidebar. You can put a OneNews textRSS widget on the homepage widget-area and insert your ads/weather code into the “Content to display after feed”.
Hi Genkisen…just love your OneNews template. How can I add an “Adjust Text Size”function to the template so that people can increase the feed point size of the font? Possible?
Thanks!
Roseanne
You can try out these plugins.
I am using only one page for all feeds. Is there a way to eliminate the top menu bar (where it currently has a link to “Home”)?
Thanks!
You can create a blank menu at WP-Admin > Appearance > Menu.
Also, is there any way to remove the search box in the header? Thanks. Love the theme!
In header.php, remove
<form style="float:right;" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">
<input type="text" name="s" id="s" class="search_input" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" class="submit_input" value="" />
</form>
Is there a way to allow for a larger (longer than 500px) Header graphic as well?
Thanks so much for all your help!
In style.css and functions.php, replace all “500″ with “935″. Then in header.php, delete
<div id="toprightbar">
<div id="topicons">
</div>
</div>
Hi,
Installed the WordPress PlugIn: wp-chgfontsize 1.8
Three things:
(1) How can I get this widget to appear flush right on the OneNews template page instead of flush left?
(2) How can I get the widget to stay in Widget selections after adding it to a page. Now it just disappears because I’ve used it once so I can’t apply the widget to any other pages. I’ve applied to the Gaylord National Resort page only at this point.
(3) The widget only works on the menu headers and not the RSS feeds or the default template content? Any suggestions?
Thanks so much, Genkisan.
Roseanne
Don’t use the widget and use the php code instead e.g in header.php, look for
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Subscribe to Feed', 'onenews' ); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/icon_rss.png" alt="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Subscribe to Feed', 'onenews' ); ?>" /></a>
<?php } ?>
and paste the following code after those lines
<?php chgfontsize_display_options(); ?>
Do you know how you would randomize the feeds on a page?
Not possible unfortunately.
Hi!
Really great theme and I am busy installing everything and learning more. But there is one problem: Creating pages is not possible. The URL of the page always produces a 500 Internal Error message.
And it does work with any other theme on that same webspace.
Do you habe any ideas?
Thanks,
Kerstin
From what I googled, most likely it’s .htaccess related.
Try to rename/delete the .htaccess file in the /newsroom/ folder. Then go to WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes (a new .htaccess should be created in the /newsroom/ folder).
Wow, thank you very much for your quick answer. That was great advice. Because there wasn’t even a .htaccess file in the folder. So I just did >Permalink >Save Changes. Then I had one, and now it works. Great theme. Great advice. AND far more better Google skills than I have. Congrats!
How do I create a RSS Feed and RSS Video in the same row ?
Insert following into the “Content to display…” field in the OneNews textRSS widget.
thanks for the response, can you explain how to use this php program.
Should I insert in the beginning or end ?
etc
after further review I would like to have the text rss and the video side by side
Just leave the feed url for 1 of the columns empty and place the code into the “Content to display…”. It doesn’t matter beginning or end. Try it out. Nothing gonna break and you can always undo.
Hi,
Do you have any tips on duplicating filled in widgets, I looked at Jaws but that doesn;t do it, I also looked in via phpmyadmin and it looked messy to uncode
Unfortunately no due to the way wordpress stores the widgets settings.
Thanks, if you find a way be sure to let me know, do you have the edited files for the widget management thing.
Nope, as I’m not using the hack.
This is cool theme, is the FEEDBURNER working? Thank you
Do you mean the RSS icon link? You can use the feedburner plugin
Thank you, Genkisan, I got it to work with the plugin,
Marios
Quick question before installing – POPurls has a section at the bottom where there is the SITENAME followed by just the FIRST RSS entry, with a block of them one after another. Possible to do this, quickly hack one together, perhaps in the OneNewsHTML block?
Popurls Quickies hack: Paste the following code into the OneNews HTML widget (demo)
<style type="text/css"> .news-entry .noborder li { border-top: none; } .h2_quickies { border-bottom: 1px solid #cecece; width: 98%; } .column_quickies { float: left; width: 48%; margin-right: 1%; } .title_quickies { float:left; width: 22%; margin-right: 3%; height: 1.8em; overflow: hidden; } .title_quickies a:link, .title_quickies a:visited { color: #000; } .title_quickies a:hover { color: #999; } .feed_quickies { float: left; width: 65%; height: 1.8em; overflow: hidden;} </style> <h2 class="h2_quickies">Technology</h2> <!-- first row --> <div class="column_quickies"> <div class="title_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <li style="padding-top: 4px;"> <a href="http://ericulous.com" target="_blank">ericulous</a> <!--change site link & title here --> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="feed_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <?php echo SimplePieWP('http://ericulous.com/feed/', array( //change feed url here 'items' => 1, 'template' => 'textrss', )); ?> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="column_quickies"> <div class="title_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <li style="padding-top: 4px;"> <a href="http://techcrunch.com" target="_blank">techcrunch</a> <!--change site link & title here --> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="feed_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <?php echo SimplePieWP('http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch', array( //change feed url here 'items' => 1, 'template' => 'textrss', )); ?> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- end first row --> <!-- second row --> <div class="column_quickies"> <div class="title_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <li style="padding-top: 4px;"> <a href="http://engadget.com" target="_blank">engadget</a> <!--change site link & title here --> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="feed_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <?php echo SimplePieWP('http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml', array( //change feed url here 'items' => 1, 'template' => 'textrss', )); ?> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="column_quickies"> <div class="title_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <li style="padding-top: 4px;"> <a href="http://allthingsd.com" target="_blank">allthingsd</a> <!--change site link & title here --> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="feed_quickies"> <ul class="noborder"> <?php echo SimplePieWP('http://allthingsd.com/feed/', array( //change feed url here //change feed url here 'items' => 1, 'template' => 'textrss', )); ?> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- end second row -->hello,
what is the link color hex code ?
Link color hex code is #326ea1 (light scheme) and #7bb9d0 (dark scheme).
thanks can you tell me if you are using a plug in for the facebook, tweet +1 google sidebar, if so what is the name of it?
Please refer to my email on monday (sent to pacian at yahoo.com).
How do I remove the space between my “site of the week” and the categories section? I am using the OnenewRss widget with only 1 entry.
You will have to go to the website to view it. http://www.velotoday.com
Thanks.
Not possible unfortauntely. You may want to move the categories on top.
Hi again,
Is it possible to include a custom menu into a textRSS? If yes, how?
thx
Nope but you can paste the following code into the textrss widget’s “Content to display…” field.
<h2>test</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
<li><a href="http://123.com">123<a></li>
</ul>
Thanks!
Do you know if its possible to make a description box for the links? Like the one which is showing the first couple of words of an article if its a rss feed (mouseover)?
<h2>test</h2>
<ul>
<li><a class="itemtitle" href="http://123.com">123</a><div class="tooltip">description</div></li>
<li><a class="itemtitle" href="http://123.com">123</a><div class="tooltip">description</div></li>
</ul>
I know this might be a bit far fetched, I’m using a Facebook Comments plugin to use instead of the wordpress comments, this is the homepage for the plugin http://we8u.com/facebook-comments/#faq
this plugin attaches itself to the exist wordpress comment plugin, however the problem I have is that the comment count doesn’t work.
Thios is the info they give to fix the issue but I’m lost with it.
Combined comment counts aren’t working on my site.
Ensure your application secret is set correctly. If it’s not, all Facebook API calls will return an error and the plugin won’t be able to retrieve the proper counts.
If you’re sure your application secret is correct, note that the combined comment count is passed through WordPress’ get_comments_number() function.
If you’re using a custom theme, you may have to modify your comments.php file (located inside your theme’s directory) to include a call to get_comments_number() where your comments are being listed.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Not sure. Maybe put this code where you want the comment to appear in index.php or single.php.
<?php echo get_comments_number() ?>
Hello. Thanks for the theme. Is there any way to display link hits? I mean how many people clicked on the links?
Nope. But you can display the most popular links.
Thank you.
Only one problem – it takes now forever to load the page. Please see yourself. http://www.weirdheadlines.com
Basically i did tests with this
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/110706_1R_105R7/1/details/
with the popular links script it takes up to 27 seconds to load the page from an average 17.
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/110706_RN_105RN/1/details/
Please consider a solution or a different advice on this topic. I appreciate it.
To get the page title, the code snippet visits each site, hence the slowdown. For speed, display the url instead by deleting
Hi,
How do you manage all the feeds in the demo? It runs pretty fast, I have a lot less feeds than you do and the site is too slow(feels sluggish). I place them through Yahoo P and then into the theme but they still no improvement on the loading speed. I also use W3 Total cache an that did little.
What are you doing exactly? Is it the hosting provider, CDN, etc. Please share a tip or two as to what you did, not what you think should be good for us.
Please help!
Thanks.
My host is downtownhost and using wp-super-cache. The feeds are direct. Pretty much everything is default with no tweaks.
Hey folks, I’ve noticed that some of you are saying that the theme loads slow. Well, in IE7 (not in Firefox, where it is super fast) I had the same problem (even with W3 cache) and I solved it as follows:
1. Go to the theme’s settings page;
2. Scroll to the Social Icons in Tooltip setting;
3. Select “Hide”;
4. Save settings;
Now the theme won’t show the social media icons in the tooltips anymore, which should increase your site’s loading speed (these social media buttons always seem to slow a site down, so using dozens of ‘em on a single page seems like a bad idea) Good luck!
Just wondering, is it possible to customize the news wigets (e.g., Google news, Digg, etc) to display only a particular type of news such as ‘mind & health’ or ‘cars’, etc?
Thanks
Only if the site offers keyword-based rss e.g https://www.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=en_sg&hl=en&q=health&cf=all&output=rss
I have been having some trouble fixing my site ( am a flat dummy that can learn fast, anyway)
1. how do i fit a 728 leaderboard banner to my header (beside the logo)
2. if i have a sub-category, how do i show the arrow to drop down like in http://news.jungle.mn (i cant seem to figure it out on my own after creating the subs)
3. do the theme allow me to do a customization like this for the footer area…if yes, where do i play around (pls, be a little detailed)
See the link here http://bit.ly/pWNjoc of my design concept here
thanks in advance
1 & 3. Sorry but theme is sold as-is so I’m unable to help with these customization. You probably need to revamp the entire footer.php rather than thru the widgets
2. Copy and paste this symbol ▼ here to the parent menu.
i copied the code ▼, to the top menu, but it is ‘?’ displaying. Pls be a little detailed with the step to follow.
Thanks in advance
Should be quite straightforward. Or you can try the instructions at http://chexed.com/ComputerTips/asciicodes.php (hold down ALT key and press 31). What’s your blog url?
unfortunately, the error still persists.it still shows the “?” mark i have to remove it from. url is http://news.citygist.com
Could be caused by a plugin. Try disabling them.
Does the theme support the Google+ button?
Was not in the live demo. Would like this before I buy.
Thanks!
Nope. But you can easily add the google+ button code to the addthis service.
About to launch an NFL aggregator with OneNews… Do you have designated AD spaces built in? – ie. in the header area etc. Any AD info about your theme would be helpful. Be sure to check out redzone365.com in August. Thanks so much, Bill.
You can paste your ad code into the OneNews HTML widget.
Hi Genkisan,
what if you want to show the flickr photos just like popurls? meaning smaller thumbnails, 9 thumbnails in each row (3 thumbnails in each 300px box).. i looked at photorss.tmpl but the thumbnail size is not there to change.. please advise.
Thanks
In style.css, look for .photovideowrapper and change the following
width: 80px;
padding: 8px 8px 0 4px !important;
padding: 8px 6px 0 3px;
Note that this will also affect the videorss.
so it’s only the CSS to change? cool..
i see what you’re saying.. in both photorss.tmpl and videorss.tmpl you used
andbut if i edit photorss.tmpl to use different div and span class then i can have different thumbnail sizes for only my photo thumbnails.. correct?sorry, my codes got wiped out in my previous reply.
looks like i cannot embed code in my comment.. i meant to say if i replace div class=photovideowrapper and span class=photovideothumb in photorss.tmpl and write a new css for photo thumbnails
Yup.
Hello,
I like your theme a lot but before purchasing I need to ask a few questions:
1. I understand that I can use ANY RSS feeds in any language.
Is that correct?
2. Do all the pages stay on my site or they are “on the fly”?
3. I see that pictures show on Google news feeds, but would they also show on my custom feeds whenever applicable?
Thanks
1. I can’t guarantee all languages but I’ve seen chinese/turkish/spanish feeds that work.
2. On the fly
3. Not all feeds will work.
What plug-in can you recommend that will give me a credit link for posts shared through my site AND will make use of facebook Open Graph Protocol, maybe like MaxFbSEO mentioned above.
Please check this link for a clue on my request http://bit.ly/n0qICf and this video too http://maxinsiders.com/119/post-to-the-wall-of-facebook-user-that-liked-you/
Thanks in Advance Genkin and all OneNews users
Sorry but these 3rd party integration is beyond me.
First, I just want to say this is probably one of the best and easiest themes I have ever worked with. It is very well done an documented! Thank you!
I have a question regarding the RSS feed button next the the search box. Is there a way to program that so it reads the first link in each widget and populates an RSS feed for the actual page? Also, is there a way to make the search box able to search the feeds?
Thank you again!
Unfortunately no for both as the feeds are not archived, only displayed on the fly.
Hi,
I want to add a new sidebar to some pages (not onenews pages) and when I add a new line in functions.php to register the new dynamic sidebar, the new sidebar shows under widgets BUT my news feeds on other pages get messed up. Looks like all the onenews widgets are getting shifted one level up. How can I add this new sidebar without messing up the other onenews pages and widgets?
Please advise.
Thanks
Unfortunately this is a limitation of OneNews. Not sure if these plugins will work but you can give them a try: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=multiple+sidebar
Genkisan,
I figured this out. I added the the code to register the new sidebar at the bottom of the code that generate the new onenews pages in functions.php.. now the new sidebar shows up under the onenews pages (under widgets) and that doesn’t mess other pages up
Did you think that I can use this template integrated with FeedWordPress plugin > http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/ ?
Not sure as I have not used it myself but some have reported success but some failed.
How to remove ‘Add This’ icon from the tooltip?.. Let’s say you want to only show facebook and twitter icon for sharing, how do you do that?
You can replace the addthis code with your own services in includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php line2248-2253.
Genkisan,
I want to keep using the ‘Add This’ service, but I want to remove some of the icons. Let’s say you want to keep only ‘facebook’ and ‘twitter’ and ‘email’ icons and remove the rest. Is that possible?
Cheers!
http://www.addthis.com/ – where u can solve your problem. That’s what i think.
GL.
Genkisan,
I edited the home page to add some social sharing buttons template tag and the home page stopped working, it shows the default feeds but not the feeds of the onenews widgets. I undoed the changes on home.php but that didn’t help. Then I created a new Home in the menu and moved all the widgets to the new one
.. why is that happening to the pages and the home page?
Genkisan,
I thought adding a new HOME page to the menu fixes this issue but it technically does NOT because now http://www.domain.com shoes the default feeds on the home.php .. the new HOME page that I created and added to the menu is only accessible on http://www.domain.com/home/ .. Please man, I need to fix this ASAP
If you wish to use the new page as your homepage, you can go WP-Admin>Settings>Reading and set “Front page displays” to a static page for the front page.
Could you give me a example for the ‘OneNews VideoRSS’ using Vimeo, let’s say I want to show the Art category at http://vimeo.com/categories/art
Seems like vimeo doesn’t have feeds for categories. Only
author e.g http://vimeo.com/rockmonkeyart/videos/rss
channel e.g http://vimeo.com/channels/teamg/videos/rss
I want to be able to show my own recent blog posts from my site. Is this possible with this theme?
This looks awesome, and I want to buy it, but I need to be able to have some of my own blog posts, from the same site this theme will be installed, to show on the main page.
See, I get paid for sponsored posts. And many of the advertisers want their post, with any paid links within the posts, to display on the main page.
Is there any way to do this with this theme?
If this is more help, here’s a for instance: I would have one blog category called “sponsored”. I would need the blog posts from this category to show, in full, on the home page where this theme would be installed.
Thanks.
You can display the blog as your front page with this theme. Then use the Frontpage Manager plugin to display only posts from the sponsored category.
Hi there,
Great theme, although I’m at the point where i think I have hacked it a little to much, quick question – Adding new pages and not selecting the onenews template should result in my page NOT showing up in the categories above, correct?
Thanks!
You mean the top grey menu? They will show up but you can use the custom menu to hide them.
In setting up new pages, is it possible to duplicate the widgets set ups on already created pages? I.e., each of my pages has the same widget structure and similar feed sources. In setting up another new page is it possible to just easily duplicate everything from an existing one, or does it all have to be done by dragging/dropping/manually inputting feeds, titles etc.?
Unfortunately no as WordPress does not have a duplication mechanism for the widgets.
Hi,
Been working my ass off to get the best out of this awesome script.
Please, i have some questions that border on CSS functionalities, after attempting severally without some success:
1. I have attempted to reduce the default LOGO size from 500 * 82 to a smaller size. I will need to some help to fix it [i cant find the function that controls it in the CSS
2. i want to render the FOOTER image to be 100%...so that it covers the whole website. see my website http://news.citygist.com
3. How do i integrate SEARCH THE WEB FUNCTIONALITY [using Google] with the search box, since the script does not allow posts to be searched on my website
Thanks
1. In functions.php, change the size in
2. The theme uses the blueprint framework which limits the width to 950px.
3. Try these plugins
Attempted to change the default ADDTHIS share button with a custom bookmark share (using http://www.wpfacepages.com)
As explained, i focused on line 2248-2253 in “includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php ″
unfortunately, the changes could NOT be saved and the page displayed error 404
Please advise. promptly
I’ve not used that plugin so I’m can’t really tell. You can disable the addthis social buttons by going to WP-Admin>Appearance>OneNews Settings and set “Social Icons in Tooltip” to hide.
Then in textrss.tmpl (and other tmpl files), delete {ITEM_SOCIAL_ICONS}. And put your own code in place.
Thanks. We try it out
tried out your timely response.
REPORT: After making changes, page could not be saved, saying: “Page Not Found”. though a dummy. My good guess is that if the bookmarking option works for “normal” wordpress theme, it will also work for OneNews.
Will post any progress i make as i await your support.
I nice week ahead
Sorry but I’m lost as well.
What SEO options are available for this theme? There is very little to customize.
Also is there a way to prevent the feeds from taking visitors away from our site?
Where can we get updates as well?
I also need a way to get my twitter name or a link to the site included when people use the sharing options. Otherwise this site does nothing to keep people on it.
Can search engines actually crawl and index these feeds? I havn’t seen any evidence of it….
Is there a way to customize the Add This share buttons? I really need some help here.
You can use the All-In-One SEO plugin as it provides more options.
You can choose to open the links in a new window (which is on by default and switchable in the theme options).
Simply email me for new updates with your paypal email.
The addthis code can be found in line 2248-2253 in /includes/simplepie_wordpress_2.php. Help for customizing addthis can be found here.
Type site:ericulous.com/onenews into google search engine to see the pages indexed.
Just a note that the theme does not grab feeds as wordpress posts, only display them on the fly.
Does removing the tooltip help with the speed of loading the news feeds and the website?
Try it out to see if there’s any diff. In script.js, delete line 1-7.
i thought i should delete the javascript from the bottom of the footer.php.. does removing lines 1 to 7 in script.js do the same thing?
Yes, works both ways.
Is there any way to add podcast feeds to the theme? Is it a feature that could be added in next update? None of the widgets seem to work.
Thanks.
Unfortunately podcast is not supported.
Hi Genkisan,
Facebook has done something strange with group RSS feeds. All the group feeds that we had imported into our site are now broken. Individual page feeds are fine. How do we find a feed for group pages that we can import into the OneNews WP theme?
Thanks for whatever help you can give us.
Love this theme, by the way…
Roseanne
Sorry as I’ve not dabbled much in facebook groups so pretty clueless on this.
Does anyone using this theme know how to access Facebook group feed information?
How to show sideblog link?
Go to WP-Admin > Appearance > Menus to customize the top grey menu.
the website loading speed is still my main concern.. I have wp super cache installed but the first load of the pages are still taking for ever.
i was thinking, maybe moving the location of the javascripts in header or footer can help! Right now, the pages are loading when all the news feeds and videos are fully loaded. I’d rather load the page first and then the content of the pages gets loaded as the visitors scroll down to see more.
this way, at least they see something before the rest of the content in the page is loaded.
is this something doable by moving the location of some scripts in the pages/header or footer?
please advise,
thanks.
I dun think moving the location will help.
I recommend, hiding SOCIAL ICON IN TOOLTIPS, this will actually help loading the page. see ONE NEWS setting to make changes
Richard,
The social icons in tooltips have been hidden. wp super cache is installed and the pages get cached and load fast BUT the first load of the pages take so long.
I am thinking about removing the tooltips
Switch preload on and then you won’t have that problem.
Mark
I removed the social icons in tooltips due to loading time but added a wibya bar at the bottom that has facebook, linkedin, google plus and twitter etc.
Take a look at the site to see what I mean.

Just installed your theme on my 3.2.1 version of WordPress and kept getting this error:
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
Messed around with my permissions for an hour and nothing worked. Reverted back to a 3.1 install and now everything works fine. Just wanted to make you aware moving forward of this issue.
Thanks for the heads up.
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and it all works fine.

How much would you charge for customizations? I don’t have the skills to do what I want.
Sorry but I’m not taking on jobs anymore. You may wish to get help from the experts at WordPress HelpCenter or browse the freelancer directory.
Hello,
I’m about to buy this theme and I have a question: Is it possible to localize this template on another language?
Yes, the theme is localization ready.
Thanks for your reply. I’ve already purchased the theme and I wonder which file needs to be edited in order to localize? In the folder “Languages” there is only one file called onenews.pot, which opens with Powerpoint.
You need a program called poledit to do translation. Read up the tutorial here and here.
cudt see my pages whts the problem…only can see the home page..if i added page its not showing..,.
Select OneNews as the Template (see guide at WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Guide > Adding More OneNews Pages Step 3.
I’m ready to purchase your theme but before that I have two questions.
Can I use an image instead of text for the logo?
Can I have multiple users that can customize their page?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use an image which can be set in the theme options.
Yes, you can run WordPress in Multisite mode for your users to have their own account for customisation.
Is it possible to change the background color from white?
The light theme uses a white background which is easily changed as follows:
1. Find the file style.css (in the onenews folder)
2. Open it and find
3. Anywhere after this but before the next
add
i dont want the header to restrict me to 500 * 82 . i really love what i saw in mark’s http://www.accountancyprofession.com/.
Please show me where to edit in the CSS.
To alter the size of the logo edit functions.php and change the size in the following lines:
My header image is 750 x 75 which meant I had to remove the following from within header.php
Line 31
through to (and including) Line 53
to leave the following two lines adjacent
As a result of changing my header size I made a few amendments in style.css
For a logo of 750 x 75 I amended the following lines:
Change
to
Change
to
Change
to
It depends how big your logo is going to be and whether you are using the social icons and search in the header. I wasn’t so there was no problem for me in removing them. My social icons are within the Wibiya bar plugin which gives some great additional functionality.
These were specific to my logo of 750 x 75 and also my own preferences so you may not have to change all of the above – e.g. #blogtitle was changed for consistency and padding on #logo was personal preference.
The other part of the question is when
1. i want to insert a banner [probably an ad banner of size 725 or 428]
If a banner is going in the header it will have to replace the top tooltips and the search box. Assuming no other changes to logo or blog title size (i.e. they remain at 500px wide) the maximum size banner is approximately 400×75.
Therefore two ways:
1) The lazy way
In style.css find
and change the code to read:
Then in header.php
Replace everything within the <div id="toprightbar"> with your banner code so you have something like:
2) The neater way
In style.css find
Insert line and add
Then in header.php
Replace the whole of <div id="toprightbar"> along the lines of:
How to redudce margin between blog posts?
In style.css, change the height for .clearer
.clearer {
clear: both;
height: 100px;
}
I would like to have the topic title to start from right to left along with the tooltip box title.
Here’s an example:
http://khabarjoo.com/
Any idea how to do that?
You need to follow the WordPress instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support
However, for starters you could change the second line of your header file from:
to
and then change:
to
http://www.techpopurl.com for example, the whole category is very very very very long. i would like to have a mega menu for it.
For a double-column dropdown menu.
In style.css, add/modify the following in bold.
May have to rearrange your menu items in Appearance > Menus as the items will be from left-to-right.
is there any way i can make the menu bar sticky at the top?
For fixed top menu: in style.css, add/modify the following in bold
Everything has been smooth sailing with the exception of the “OneNews VideoRSS” widget.
As you may know, Youtube about 1 year ago greatly expanded the number of videos that accept advertising. All of these video will not allow “embedded playback.”
The video images will load but upon clicking on the video thumbnail the user is notified that embedding is not allowed.
While I ultimately would like to embed and play the videos from my site, if that is not possible can you please explain how I can change the videorss widget or the SimplePieWP videorss code so that when the feed is loaded the user can simply click on the video whereby the video is played on the youtube site in a new window?
If you know the parameters to change, you can edit the youtube embed code in script.js (line 75-76).
Else you can try using the photoRSS widget instead (which will link to youtube).
I have a problem with the times showing next to my feeds. 2 of the 9 feeds show the right time, but the other 7 show a time that is 1 hour later than the time that it is posted. This problem showed up when we went from daylight savings time into normal time.
site: http://www.googlevoetbal.nl
I have taken the first feed on your site and added it to mine.
The time here in the UK is 20.40
For the headline ‘Twente-goalie Marsman klaar voor Europees debuut’
My site shows the post timed at 8.22pm or 20.22
Your site shows the post timed at 22.22
The originating site shows it timed at 21.22
So three different times!
UK is currently GMT or UTC
Netherlands is GMT+1 (which makes sense as the timestamp is 1 hour on from mine)
I am therefore guessing that your site is set to GMT (or UTC +2) which may be correct for where you are based but is leading to this apparent discrepancy.
There will always be these types of issues with different time zones and the changes in summer times etc.
I am trying to configure Addthis in the template in order to get analytics for when the links are share through social media. However I am not sure where to locate the code to change this?
Open simplepie_wordpress_2.php (line 2267), replace
with
Video sourcing from metacafe, dailymotion, Youtube is awesome.
Is there a way, coding or otherwise, to extend the list of supported video sources ?
As different site uses different embedding code, it’s impossible to support all of them. If you are familiar with javascript, you can take a look at script.js to see the hardcorded snippet e.g for youtube video in line 72-76.
An easier alternative is to use the photoRSS widget, which opens the video in a new window.
Many feeds are displaying – 1 Jan 70, 12:00am – as the article published date under EVERY post.
And when I take the same feed to google reader or other rss reader, they show the correct dates.
or example..
http://www.elmundo.com/images/rss/noticias.xml
If you put this on OneNews textRSS, then all articles will show as – 1 Jan 70, 12:00am -.
But if you put that in a rss reader like http://www.google.com/reader
then it will read the correct dates.. like today’s date..few hours ago.. etc.
This looks like a bug? How can I fix this?
The dates in the feed is not in the standard format.
http://validator.w3.org/appc/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elmundo.com%2Fimages%2Frss%2Fnoticias.xml
Google probably can handle these odd cases but OneNews can only take in standard validated feeds.
The only way is to update the feed with standard dates like in
http://validator.w3.org/appc/docs/error/InvalidRFC2822Date.html
Is it possible to set the date instead of “new”?
like this website for example: http://www.newsvortex.net/

I cannot get this theme to show up the entire page on iPhone, iPad or Android devices. It’s showing as a SINGLE COLUMN..this is really annoying because people have to scroll like for 2 minutes to get to the bottom… i need to put a lot of content on my site ..
can you please tell me the fix so that my website appears on the mobile devices just as it appears on browsers from PC/Mac.
In header.php, delete
Personally I love the single column for viewing the OneNews theme on my iPhone. I have formatted my site to include just the bare necessities and it truly fits the bill for me. This might just be a case of personal preference, but being an avid iPhone news reader, I love it this way. BTW if they are scrolling forever then you might have to much content on one page. I would suggest instead that you use multiple pages to segment them into sub categories.
I have an error appear every day.
“PHP Notice: XML error.” see below full error
This error can be see only in error log file and I not see any problem in website, but still I have this error every day.
I use latest wordpress 3.4.1 and (last?) Onenews 3.1 theme versions
Some solution/help?

I also have these in my error log from time to time.
My guess is sometimes the remote feed was not fetched completely before the timeout.
As in your case, my website is working fine so can safely ignore them.
There should be a way to support Hulu videos. Looks like their feed provides enough information for doing this. The thumbnail of their clips show up on the my website but when I click on the thumbnails, it says the video is not supported in the video pop-up box. Even the ‘Link’ to the video in the pop-up box works correctly.
How to make it work and support Hulu videos?
For the popup to work, the feed url needs to match the embed code url.
Unfortunately for Hulu videos, they do not match e.g
feed link: http:\\rss.hulu.com/~r/HuluRecentlyAddedVideos/~3/o1d8LV-A1ZA/392640
embed code: <embed src="http:\\www.hulu.com/embed/6clwthwsoktuvf-r75ggeg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true"></embed>
Next best alternative is to use the photoRSS for Hulu video feeds.
Firstly I love this theme and had for a while now. One of my sites that uses it is starting to gain a bit more traffic so I’m hoping to iron out a persistent problem I have with the theme.
I have multiple pages with multiple feeds. However, all it takes is for one RSS feed to become unavailable and it causes all other feeds after that one on the page not to be displayed. In fact none of the page after the unavailable one will display including the footer.
Is this a known issue and is there a solution that would allow me to display a message such as ‘Sorry, feed unavailable from this site” for the offending one and still continue to display the rest?
Is it always a particular feed or random feed?
Any timeout or php errors in the server error_log?
I suspect it’s due to server timeout and it just so happen while fetching the feed.
See if the following improve the situation.
Go to http://your_own_domain.com/wp-admin/options.php
look for “simplepie_set_timeout” and set it to 5.
Hi, trying to add 300×250 banner next to the videorss, but the standard 300×250 is a bit shorter than a videorss widget and couse of that it looks ugly… is there a way to make the videorss widget shorter, instead of looking for a bigger banner?
It is easier to balance the ad within a colored background.
One of way of doing this is by using the following code.
I have used yellow as a background to highlight the balancing. If you are using the dark background then change it to #1f1f1f or remove it completely if using light.
Basically the only line I changed slightly was
I noticed that when I implemented my RSS feed for the site that I implemented OneNews on, it does not feed in all of the updates that were made on all other aggregated feeds listed on my site. Does anyone know how to do this?
The OneNews theme does not link to the RSS feed of your WordPress site.
However you can combine all of your feeds using yahoo pipes and use the generated feed as your rss feed.
Good News! Yahoo Pipes was really easy to use for this. Thanks for the tip! Now, how do I stick this new RSS Feed into my OneNews Theme so that it doesn’t pull from the default word press feed any longer?
Try this plugin

Just set up the site and added WP Super Cache. My site is still quite slow loading. Would love to hear from the community which settings they have found work best for their site.
I am running one of my sites (www.accountancyprofession.com) with the following Super Cache settings:
Setup
WordPress 3.4.1
OneNews Version 3.0
OneNews Settings
> Feeds Cache: Enable
> Feeds Cache Duration: 3600
/includes/cache folder set to 755
WP Super Cache
Version 1.1
Advanced Settings tab
Checked the following:
Cache hits to this website for quick access. (Recommended)
Use PHP to serve cache files.
Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)
Don’t cache pages for known users. (Recommended)
Cache rebuild. Serve a supercache file to anonymous users while a new file is being generated. (Recommended)
Clear all cache files when a post or page is published or updated.
Cache Timeout: 3600 seconds
Preload tab
Refresh preloaded cache files every 30 minutes
Checked the following:
Preload mode (garbage collection only on legacy cache files. Recommended.)
For some reason I am also having issues with the site still loading slow.
I don’t understand why the files don’t get precached on the server side until I visit the site. Am I missing something?
No you are not missing something – my understanding is that the whole purpose of pre-caching is to prepare the static files in advance at set intervals prior to them being requested.
Do you have “Don’t cache pages for known users” checked? If this is the case then you may not be seeing the cached pages. I know this is not quite the same as pre-caching but can sometimes give the impression that caching is not working.
Display Most Popular Stories/Links (Example)
Install the Jetpack plugin. Then copy and paste the following code to the “Content to display after feed” field in a textRSS widget.
<?php if ( function_exists('stats_get_csv') && $top_posts = stats_get_csv('clicks', 'days=7&limit=8') ) : ?> <h2>Popular Links</h2> <ul class="alphabets"> <?php foreach ( $top_posts as $p ) : ?> <?php $file = file($p['click']); $file = implode('',$file); $file = str_replace(array("\r", "\r\n", "\n"),'',$file); if(preg_match("/<title.*>(.*)<\/title>/iU",$file,$m)) $title = $m[1]; else $title = $p['click']; ?> <li><a class="itemtitle_alphabets" style="overflow:hidden" target="_blank" href="<?php echo $p['click']; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <?php endif; ?>The above code visits each site to get the page title, hence there may be a slowdown in page load. For speed, display only the url instead with the following:
<?php if ( function_exists('stats_get_csv') && $top_posts = stats_get_csv('clicks', 'days=7&limit=8') ) : ?> <h2>Popular Links</h2> <ul class="alphabets"> <?php foreach ( $top_posts as $p ) : ?> <?php $title = $p['click']; ?> <li><a class="itemtitle_alphabets" style="overflow:hidden" target="_blank" href="<?php echo $p['click']; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <?php endif; ?>I activated the jetpack plugin and installed the code for the top stories but it isnt working for me. Nothing is displaying within the
Wait a while for the stats to collect data. Longer time for a new site as you will be waiting for visitors to click on the links.
As more and more users begin to tablets and iPad for surfing, will ONENEWS be responsive?
The screen resolution on most tablets/ipads is already similar to those of desktop so there isn’t really a need for that.
I’m not talking about screen resolution, I am talking about Responsive web design (often abbreviated to RWD) an approach to web design in which a site is crafted to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones)
Many developers are creating these types of themes.
A site designed with RWD uses CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule, to adapt the layout to the viewing environment—along with fluid proportion-based grids and flexible images:
Media queries allow the page to use different CSS style rules based on characteristics of the device the site is being displayed on, most commonly the width of the browser.
The fluid grid concept calls for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages or EMs, rather than absolute units like pixels or points.
Flexible images are also sized in relative units (up to 100%), so as to prevent them from displaying outside their containing element.
The theme is already responsive using CSS3 media queries. Your site is not “responsive” is because of the long adsense banners. Google for responsive adsense.
In the chrome browser, when you put mouse over any of the photo or video feeds the description obscures the image and link, making it difficult to click on the link.
Description Length in Tooltip is set up to 250.
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to model my site along that of Fark.com with each RSS url linked to a comments template for user comments about the story, and also to have a comments count appearing either beside the url or in the tool tip box.
This would encourage interation with visitors. Can you provide me with some coding suggestions on how to do this.
Thanks
Not possible unfortunately as OneNews does not create any posts, only display the feeds from stored files.
Genkisan,
It seems possible to allow comments on each RSS link story. The following code from http://www.w3.com seems to provide a means of doing it, but I don’t know how to implement it in your theme. If possible, in the tool box after the social icons, it would be nice if we can have a link to a comments template. How can I use the code below to enable comments on each rss story? What do you recommend?

If you are referring to http://www.w3schools.com/rss/rss_tag_comments.asp, it’s just saying that the remote feed can have a <comments> element that points to the item’s comment page, which is on their server, not ours.
Hi Genkisan,

This is a terrific WordPress theme and does exactly what it says.
I am so impressed with this template that I intend buying more OneNews themes for two other websites that I will be developing shortly.
Being responsive, the theme also works well on iPhone and Samsung and any further development work that can be done to make it more mobile friendly will be much appreciated and make this an even more powerful theme.
I just need to make a few tweaks before launching my site which you will find here: http://www.mayo.me
1) I only want the Home Page indexed by search engines for now and I want to disallow indexing of Pages (too many duplicate links). Can you suggest best method for this.
2) Is it possible to make the tooltip window a little smaller – it’s inclined to cover the text and make it difficult for clicking.
3) How do I remove comments from About Page
1) Try the Easy Noindex And Nofollow plugin
2) You can change the width in style.css
.tooltip { display: none; background: #ececec url(images/bg_newsblock.gif) repeat-x left top; font-size: 11px; width: 240px;But this is a global settings meaning the tooltip for the videos and photos will also be affected.
3) WP-Admin > Pages > All Pages > edit your about page. In the Discussion tab, uncheck “Allow comments”.
That works. Thanks
Hi,
1.How can i change the ‘Header Title’ font. I have tried already within style.css. I can change the font for tooltip and body text but cannot change the ‘Header Title’ font.

1. In style.css > .news-entry h2 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
2. Not sure but google font should be theme-independant.

I have an issue with supercache (i switched from another caching plugin in the endless search to speed this thing up) where rss feeds are not showing up. it seems they are mostly domain xml feeds. domain.com/feed/ If I can find a feedburner for them, they work. If I load the feeds in google reader, they work. but they don’t work in the supercached site. they did work with hypercache and other caching plugins. i am using supercache with a cron job. anyone else experience this and have any suggestions. i tried using pipes, a few of them work if I do that, but most do not. thanks
Strange that it only happens when using supercache,
But you mention that it works if the feed is on feedburner.
Then you can burn the domain.com/feed thru feedburner.com and use that custom feed instead.
thanks for the advice. did that, works. much faster now with the cron job that you had in the tips. thnx
Hi
I bought this theme but i m unable to put in crankyads plugin in the sidebar. though there is a sidebar option beneath homepage but no widget seems to work with that. would really appreciate your help.
The sidebar widget area is for the blog category e.g http://ericulous.com/onenews/category/blog/
To display crankyads, you can enter the code into the textRSS widget “Content to display before feed” or “Content to display after feed”. Or into the OneNews HTML widget.
How do i show them in header?
For top right header, you need to modify the theme
http://ericulous.com/2007/06/11/popurls-clone-using-wordpress/#comment-67775
If you only need a banner between the header and the content, use the OneNews HTML widget.

Hi,
While some RSS feeds work well, I get this when I add some RSS feeds:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMElement::getLineNo() in /home/content/31/10556931/html/wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/simplepie.inc on line 12168
ok I solved it. Converted the RSS feed url from that site using feedburner.
Hey, great theme once again bro, Was wondering, how did you manage to get the youtube feed for your pingapore theme?
I am trying to do the same for a particular keyword like for example “Malaysia” and I want it to show the latest uploads from that keyword. At the moment it is showing stuff that’s from years back instead of the latest.
Try this feed
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?q=malaysia&client=ytapi-youtube-search&alt=rss&v=2&orderby=updated
For my videos the info goes outside the content box. Can you please tell me how to get it inside the box
In style.css, replace
.tooltip {with
.tooltip { word-wrap: break-word;How we can have individual pages like in alltop you can create your own pages?
To add more pages, see under WP-Admin > Appearance > OneNews Guide > Adding More OneNews Pages
If you are referring to allowing other users to create their own pages, OneNews is only for single user, not multi users.
I purchased your theme, how do I add a comments section on a OneNews page? I can only leave comments on pages or posts. But if the page is a OneNews page with widgets, able to add comments section at the bottom?
In page_onenews.php, replace
with
<div style="clear:both"></div> <div class="commentdiv" style="width:935px; margin-bottom: 25px;"> <?php comments_template(); ?> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> <?php get_footer(); ?>Works perfectly, thanks!
A slight problem. When I add this code, the comment section shows up in other one news page, but not the main webpage. Where should I edit the code for the main site, home.php or index.php?
Unfortunately the homepage cannot have comments, only posts/pages can have comments. The workaround is to create a onenews page and add widgets exactly like your homepage. Then go to Settings > Reading > set the “Front page displays” to “A Static Page”. Then from the Frontpage dropdown, select the newly create page.
Thanks, will do this then
First of all, thanks for the great support!
I have two questions:
1. How can I change the “more” & “less” words to my language?
2. Is there any way to display the number of feeds that I have in my site, just for statistical reasons? I think that it should hard coded. My SQL and PHP knowledge is quite limited but if you give me some guidelines I’ll give it a try.
Thanks in advance
1. You can do a translation of the .po file in/languages/onenews.po
Or direct edit the functions.php
2. You can use a OneNews HTML widget and paste your feed count text inside.
First, I would like to express my appreciation for an awesome theme! I’ve almost configured the theme and the site is working great!
I do have a small question regarding the tooltip spacing on firefox. The spacing is such that it’s near impossible to click the social links. I checked this in IE and it looks and works fine, but very spaced in FF.
Your demo works fine with FF, so I’m curious what’s different and what additional attributes are required to adjust the spacing in .css or .js?
Thanks!
Seems ok on my Win7/FF19
http://i.imgur.com/vEn6Uss.gif
Can do a screenshot on your side?
Interesting, maybe this is a local browser issue. Here’s what I see:
http://awak3n.net/screenshot.jpg
The tooltip is almost three lines down from the cursor. I’m on Win7/FF19 as well. I will check the local settings for the browser, but it’s good to know the site is working for everyone else!
If your think of anything or have a suggestion, please let me know.
None that I can think of.
Just a quick update: the spacing is only while being logged in, not as a guest. I can live with that!
I do have another issue that I need researched regarding the top links code you’ve provided, which happens to be the best I’ve found. When a feed deletes the page stored in the Jetpack stats, this error parses for each instance while updating the top links list:
_____________________________
Warning: file(http://feeds.lexblog.com/~r/foodsafetynews/mRcs/~3/z6TITbQ17Ec/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/widgets.php(433) : eval()’d code on line 6
Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /wp-content/themes/onenewspremium/includes/widgets.php(433) : eval()’d code on line 7
______________________________
Is there something I can include in the top links code to ignore or skip page errors, as I cannot find any way to delete these from the Jetpack statistics. Thanks!
Update: I just added
to silence the error output. Thanks!
Hi Gensikan,
What is the easiest way to update the theme? So that we don’t overwrite the rss feed data that we manually inserted in the widgets, and customization’s?
Thanks
The widgets data will not be affected.
To upgrade, it is recommended to use ftp to upload all files (and overwrite existing files).
If you made any changes to the theme files, you will need to apply them to the new files.
Remember to backup your files and database.
Hi,
Im having a problem with iFrame browser, check the site please:
http://www.petapixels.com/feeeed/
I know you cant read the feeds since its in another language but click any link to see the problem
Thanks.
You need to enable permalinks at WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks > set to “Day and name”.
Working now. Thx
I have a questions about the Feeds Links (DoFollow and NoFollow), what does it means or what does it do please?
Cheers
When NoFollow is selected, all feed links are tag with a rel=”nofollow”. This tells the search engine not to crawl those links to preserve link juice for your own site. Google “Dofollow vs Nofollow” for more info.
What is the best way to add google adsense and other ads type content?
You can paste the ad code into the OneNews HTML Widget, or OneNews RSS Widget (in the “Content to display before/after feed” field).
Whats the easiest way to add separate blogs with their own posts using the onenews them and linked from the top menu. These blogs pages are actual posts not rss feeds. For example like your blog link but several.
Create sub-category under the main blog category. Then link to each sub-category in the menu.
how exactly do you do that?
Create a subcategory in WP-Admin > Posts > Categories (changing the Parent to the main blog category).
Will each subcategory have their own rss feeds? I want to have sub-blogs that have their own feeds?
Yes, append feed to the url, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10258854/rss-feed-for-a-category-in-wordpress
Hi Genkisan,
I’ve built this aggregator with 102 pages and am currently using 204 widgets.
Now, all of a sudden, the “menus” section will not allow me to add any more pages to the menu. They either drop off after I hit the menu update button or they convert to “Custom” instead of “pages” and they won’t link to the page when clicked on from the front end of the site, if they show up at all. What am I doing wrong? Never had this issue before now.
Using WordPress 3.0.5 and the One News theme version we purchased is 3.0.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Roseanne
Not sure but see if it’s caused by a plugin. Also see if the following link helps http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/75934/menu-limit-cannot-add-new-menu-items
Thanks so much for the quick response, Genkisan. The link you provided should solve it. Love this theme…thanks for creating it!
The flickr and youtube feeds doesn’t seem to be showing the latest or updated feeds. Do you know what the search strings should look like. For example feeds about google. I tried to follow the examples above.
For flickr
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=google&lang=en-us&format=atom
For youtube
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos/-/google?client=ytapi-youtube-rss-redirect&alt=rss&v=2&orderby=published
Hello,
I’m having a problem with one of my pages because one of the sites I’m getting the rss from is down.
Why this is effecting all the page! Why not checking if one of the sites is not working all the other display the links?
Please advice, part of my site is down
It should skip the feed if the feed does not respond within 10 seconds. You may want to lower it by going to http://website.com/wp-admin/options.php and change the value for “simplepie_set_timeout”.
Genkison,
Great theme, bought it last night. Pretty smooth sailing so far, just have a quick design issue I was hoping you could help with.
In the image linked below, I have added a red square box around a small vertical line that I can not get rid of. Can you help me get rid of this small vertical line somehow?

Also, it would be great to see a showcase of what others have done. If you have any “best in class” examples that you or your clients don’t mind sharing it would be great to see some of them.
Thank you.

To hide the grey line, in style.css, find

Greetings,
How can I add the social sharing to the iFrame browser?
I want it to appear next to (remove frame)
Cheers,
You can add your code to header.php, after this line
I tried to copy the social sharing link and put it there. It appears fine but when I click to share the link is not correct, its something else and Im not sure why.
Any advice?
The social sharing link is probably detecting the browser page as the url to share. Can you paste your sharing code here so that I can see if the url can be overridden.
This what I used:
Tested the code. Was able to change only the url but not the page title. But if you still want the code, in header.php, replace
<?php if (is_page_template('page_iframe_browser.php')) { ?> <div style="float:right;margin: -28px 2px 0 0;"> <a href="<?php echo esc_url('http' . rawurldecode($_GET['onsurl'])); ?>">Remove Frame [X]</a> </div> <?php } ?>with
<?php if (is_page_template('page_iframe_browser.php')) { ?> <div style="float: right;margin: -28px 2px 0 0; padding-right: 3px;"> <a class="alignright" href="<?php echo esc_url('http' . rawurldecode($_GET['onsurl'])); ?>">Remove Frame [X]</a> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style alignright" style="margin: 1px 5px 0 0;"> <a class="addthis_button_facebook" addthis:url="<?php echo esc_url('http' . $_GET['onsurl']); ?>"></a> <a class="addthis_button_twitter" addthis:url="<?php echo esc_url('http' . $_GET['onsurl']); ?>"></a> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="<?php echo esc_url('http' . $_GET['onsurl']); ?>"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250" class="addthis_button_compact" addthis:url="<?php echo esc_url('http' . $_GET['onsurl']); ?>"></a> </div> </div> <?php } ?>The title is browser now
Cant we change it to the correct title please?
Cheers,
Unfortunately no.
I have the onenews html right under a onenews test rss feed, the html widget has adsense code, how its not centered, its flushed against the left. One a different site, its centered and I didn’t do anything different. Any ideas?
Center your ads with the center tags.
I have one site with 20 feeds on the front page pulling 6 items. It seems very slow. I have wp-super cache enabled with the suggested settings. No youtube or flickr. Anything else I can do. I have another site with 8 feeds 6 items but with 12 youtube items and 12 flickr items on the front page and it seems very fast. Could 12 more feeds really slow things down. What is the optimal feeds per single page? Could it be the host? I have bluehost for one (slower one) and dreamhost for the other (faster). Thoughts?
No optimal feeds per single page. It depends on the server and also how fast the feeds is fetched from the remote server. To confirm if it’s the host, try using the feeds from bluehost onto dreamhost.
which hosts have you had great success with?
Is there an optimal way to move a whole site without having to recreate everything on a new host?
Hawkhost/Downtownhost. Most host using CPanel should be able to do a simple site transfer.
Are you able to provide more different layouts with the onenews theme? Different looks?
Only the light and dark version available in the theme.
Are you able to do any custom work to the theme?
Not taking on customization job.
Greetings,
When I use chrome to visit my site it times-out and when I refresh it comes immediately. Is there a way to make wait before it times-out or a way to make the load faster?
I am using the WP super cache with the recommended settings.
Cheers,
Have you added the cron job to cpanel? You can also try changing the feed timeout setting.
My site seems to be loading really slow, like 20+ seconds for the first initial load. It was fast initially but in the last week it has slowed down a bit. I have wp-super-cache configured. My question is… is this site running on a dedicated, VPS, or share hosting account. It seems pretty fast. Is there any other settings I should look at for making the site load faster? Any plugins that should be disabled? I also have another site with more RSS feeds and it has been slow from day one….20+ seconds load time.
My site is on downtownhost.com shared hosting. The initial load is slower as it tries to fetch the feeds from the remote servers. A slow feed may also slow the whole site. In that case, you can burn the feed and use the generated feed from feedburner.com.
Hello!
This theme is amazing and I’m looking to purchasing it ASAP! I just have some questions before I do. What site or program works best for creating feeds for this theme? Secondly, I tested the demo and noticed when you share news its only links to the news source but not your site. This wont help in building traffic. Also on mobile I noticed the share buttons doesn’t show up. In addition, about the pop up box when hover over a feed can the amount of info displayed in that box be increased?
Thanks!
In addition, can people comment on stories in the feed, if no is there anyway around it.
Thanks!
You can use feeds from any site that has RSS enabled.
As the theme only display the feed and does not create any post, there is no post to be shared or commented on.
The length can be set in the theme options “Description Length in Tooltip”.
Hello!
When any share button is clicked can I add a predefined text that would always be added along with the link that is being shared? For instance the name of my site, because the share buttons only shares the news and doesn’t mention anything about my site in the share link.
Not for facebook but for the twitter, email and other buttons, in includes/simplepie_wordpress2.php, look for
and modify the bold text for your need
