  2. I found the fix but an answer to this problem, it appears to be a problem with the code that auto changes the size of the picture to 125px * 125px

    to fix follow these instructions

    open index.php and go to line 34 look for this code

    *********************************

    $scrp = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’) . ‘/wp-content/themes/masagana/functions/timthumb.php?’;

    *****************************

    i then remove the TIM THUMB.php code, but replaced it with – if an image isnt given then put this image in its place

    so change the code to this

    ******************************

    $imgpath = $scrp . get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’) . ‘/wp-content/themes/masagana/images/image.jpg’ ;

    ***************************

    and then ensure that you upload an image to the wp-content/themes/masagana/images/ folder and call it image.jpg ( or change the name above and ensure image matches up)

    this fixed it for me

    I did find another error with the theme, if you make a post with less than 70 charcters, then the home page shows an error, you can get around this by 1 of 2 ways

    1) ensure that each post has more than 70 characters (letters)

    or 2) open index.php and look for line 47 this code

    change the 70 to 50

    The code will then request less letter to place in the box on the home page…

  3. Hi, I love this theme but when I try to add a custom thumbnail or any featured content it doesn’t work?

  5. The problem with timthub is not necessarily in index.php. You must be sure that the folder containing timthub.php is writable by anybody (permissions = 777). Be sure that the cache sub-folder is also 777

  6. I am having problems with the theme and getting the page order to change. The page order is displaying alphabetically and not by page order. I am doing something wrong here.

  7. Figured it out from another blog. You should look into changing the code in functions.php on line 220 from
    wp_page_menu(’show_home=1&title_li=’);
    to
    wp_page_menu(’show_home=1&sort_column=menu_order’);

    Thanks for the great theme. Love it!
