Hello.


First off let me say that Magazine is a beautiful theme. Kudos for the nice work.


Now onto some questions…

In the index page you have listed below in box format using the x number of recent posts. What is the use oif them if the posts over there are the ones repeated from above? I have only found one use and that is one navigates to previous pages to see the most recent in the bottom. Still not much use though since one will navigate to the older posts eithet by the archive or by the search function.

Wouldn't be better if it listed the posts exactly after the one listed above. For example 4 new posts in the fron page and the next 4 following them in the boxes in the bottom?

Please enlighten me if I say something wrong.


Cheers and kudos again!

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you're enjoying the theme. It would be better in some scenarios to work like that, and you can adjust to your liking if you're familiar with the Wordpress template code. You can also easily convert this area to pull from certain categories only, like a highlight category area.

And for those of us that are coding-retarded (meeee), how would that be possible? I don't like that I've got duplicate links for the same posts on my home page. Any help would be kick ass.

Hello again.

kk so I was right about the posts.

I will look into the code. I am familiar with PHP programming, though I am no expert in WP fuctions and code. I know the number of posts that are shown in the index page is selected from the settings. I suppose there would be some code writing to make the following x boxes to continue from where the posts above have left it.

Do you have any tips to share on that? Something that would make my life happier. Like which functions should I look into etc etc.


Cheers
