1. Set “featured images” to your posts. Make sure they are all same size.
2. what image do you want to display? Go to Media> Add new and upload your image and then copy the “file url” and paste it here.

[Towfiq I.]

Open up category.php and replace this:

<?php get_template_part('layout1'); ?>

with this:

<?php get_template_part('layout4'); ?>

[Towfiq I.]

1. add this to your “Custom CSS” tab:

Albert, No its not possible in Asteria Lite.

[Towfiq I.]

hmm. Lets do it this way:
The frontpage will display posts that are tagged with the tag “featured”.

Step1:

Mark the 3 home page posts with “featured” tag.

Step2:

Open up layout1.php and add this:

<?php if(is_front_page()) { 
	 $args = array(
				   'tag' => 'featured',
				   'post_type' => 'post',
				   'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1),
				   'posts_per_page' => '3');
	query_posts($args);
} ?>

before this:

<?php if(have_posts()): ?><?php while(have_posts()): ?><?php the_post(); ?>

Open up skin3.php from Appearance>Editor and remove this:

body { background:#33282c!important;}

[Towfiq I.]

Open up functions.php and add this:

add_theme_support('custom-background');

after the first <?php of the file. Then Go to Appearance> Backgrounds to change your background.

whats your site address?

[Towfiq I.]

you did not add categories to your menu. you added custom pages with blog template. The “News”, “Community” & “Current Promotion” pages are not category page, they are custom pages with blog page template. instead of custom page, you should add category pages to your menu.

[Towfiq I.]

open up index.php of your parent asteria theme and then remove this:

    <?php
	//Front Page Posts
    break;
    case 'posts': ?>
    <div class="home_blocks"><?php $homeposts = $asteria['home_sort_id']; if(!empty($homeposts['posts'])){ ?>
        <!--Latest Posts-->
            <?php if ( asteria_is_mobile() && (!empty($asteria['hide_mob_frontposts'])) ) { ?>
            <?php }else{ ?>
            <?php get_template_part('layout'.$asteria['front_layout_id'].''); ?>
            <?php } ?>
        <!--Latest Posts END-->
        <?php } ?></div>

hmm… this is a bug. You can fix it by opening asteria-config.php and find this:

			array(
				'id'=>'slidefont_size_id',
				'type' => 'typography',
				'title' => __('Slide Font Style', 'asteria'),
				'google'=>false,
				'subsets' => false,
				'font-weight' => false,
				'font-style' => false,
				'font-backup' => false,
				'color' => false,
				'preview' => false,
				'line-height' => false,
				'word-spacing' => false,
				'letter-spacing' => false,
				'font-size'=>true,
				'font-family'=>false,
				'default' => array(
					'font-size'=>'60px',
					),
				),

and replace them with:

			array(
				'id'=>'slidefont_size_id',
				'type' => 'text',
				'title' => __('Slide Font Style', 'asteria'),
				'default' => '60px'
				),

then you can change the slider font size.

[Towfiq I.]

hmm.. since you are using wordpress.com you will have to ask this on wordpress.com theme forum as the 2 themes are different in functionality.

[Towfiq I.]

Open up easyslider.php and replace this line:

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'slider', 'posts_per_page' => $option['scl_num_sld'] ) ); ?>

with this:

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => $option['scl_num_sld'] ) ); ?>

Now, your newly created posts will be automatically added in the slider.

[Towfiq I.]

you can disable them from Theron options> Misc.

[Towfiq I.]

whats your site address?

[Towfiq I.]

you can disable the frontpage posts from Asteria Options> Frontpage.

[Towfiq I.]

Sorry you can only do that in the pro version.

[Towfiq I.]

add this to your “Custom Css” tab and see if the menu shows up or not:

.header4 #topmenu ul li{padding: 0 10px 0 10px!important;}

[Towfiq I.]

hmm.. I understand. whats your site address?
