Download link to the DanzurELITE WordPress Theme

 

1. Installing the Theme

After downloading the zipped file, unzip it and put the “danzurelite” folder under your wp-content/themes directory.

 

2. Installing and Configuring the plugins

From the included plugins folder, copy both featured-content-gallery and popular-posts-plugin to your wordpress plugins folder and then activate them. To configure the Featured Post section, go to settings and open up the Featured Content Gallery configuration page, put in 520 in the width field, 200 in the height field and 55 or 65 in the Overlay Height field as shown in the image below. Please note that you have to put in 520 and 200 as height and width, otherwise, it won’t fit the theme. After that, put in a category name in the Category Name field to show posts from that category in the Featured Content section and the number of posts you want in show in the Number of Items to Display field.

 

 

P.S. If you already have Featured Content Gallery installed, please delete it and upload the one included in this ZIP file.

 

3. Editing the logo

Go the the folder named “PSD” in the theme folder (themes/danzurelite/PSD) and open up the file you see there in Photoshop CS2 or Photoshop CS3. Select the Text Tool from the Photoshop toolbar, click on the text, delete it and put in what ever you want to put in. Once you have done that, save it in .JPG format with the name "logo”, upload it to the “themes/danzurelite/images” folder, and it’s done!

 

4. Using the theme without the .PSD logo

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of editing the logo in Photoshop and use the default Hyperlink type title, then open up the header.php from within the danzurelite folder, find the following line

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/logo.php"); ?>

and replace it with this line.

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/logo_text.php"); ?>

Now save it and upload it to themes/danzurelite folder and you’re done!

 

5. Setting up the Adsense Units

To setup the adsense banners, find the headbanner.php and ss_ad.php files in the theme folder, open them up in notepad or any other text editor, delete everything you see in those files and paste your own Adsense codes.

 

7. Setting up the Feedburner Feedcounter

Open up the feedcounter.php file and find this following line:

$whaturl=https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=r_shahin;

Replace the very last part excluding the “;” (only r_shahin) with the last part of your feedburner address. For example, if your feedburner address is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/bajpakhi , then replace r_shahin with bajpakhi.

 

8. Setting up the post thumbnail and Featured Gallery

Nothing complicated, you just need to add one single image for both the Featured Content Gallery and the post thumbnails, when ever you write a post, scroll down the page and you’ll find a section called Custom Field as shown in the image below. Click on the Enter New link you see there, put the word articleimg in the Name field and the URL to your image in the Value field and then click on the button that says Add Custom Field. You won’t have to do it over and over whenever you write a new post, after the first time, the articleimg field will show up automatically, all you have to do is put in the image URL and click on the Add Custom Field button. I recommend you use a 520px by 200px image every time you write a post to ensure the featured content gallery is shown properly.

    Hi, I got problem….Can you check for me.

    below the details:

    Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /home/smart/public_html/wp-content/themes/danzurelite/feedcounter.php on line 19

    • r_shahin says:

      Hello Ryann, the problem you’re having is probably because your host doesn’t have PHP 5x, this error seems to occur on PHP 4.x servers. Contact your host see if you could make them upgrade to PHP 5x. But should you fail to do so, open up the feedcounter.php file and replace everything with

      Please create at least 10 posts to make the theme work, sometimes it acts this way if you have less than 10 posts.

      Thank you~

    This theme is not working correctly in Internet Explorer 8, even in compatibility mode.

    I use firefox but as we are a gaming community its not my place to demand that others use the same browser as me.

    Please explain why its doing this or I will have to use another theme that I know will work.

    • r_shahin says:

      Thanks for the heads up Nutronic. I just tested it in IE8 and it was having difficulties displaying the search section. The reason I couldn’t notice it is that IE8 wasn’t released when I finished designing the theme, or at least, I didn’t have on my computers right then. I’ll see what I can do about it when I get some time, but i cannon guarantee when/if a revised version will be available for download.

    Thats annoying aint it :(

    So do you have any other “free” magazine themes as I need one desperately and cant find any, It needs to have 2 boxes really one for Game News, One for site news like updates Imake etc and one for Features such as reviews and editorials, preferbly all should only show a snippet.

    A bit like the revolution church theme.

    • r_shahin says:

      @Nutronic: It sure is. As for other free themes, you can check them out in my free wordpress themes section. Hope you find something that suits your needs.

      @RacSas: I did and it worked fine. Opera has changed a lot in the last few days, they’ve entirely changed the rendering engine. I’ll look into it mate. Thanks for the heads up.

  7. RacSas says:

    hi shahin..

    are you already test this themes in Opera?
    because i have an error on the header sections in Opera, it doesn’t match properly comparing when i open it with firefox.

    thanks

  8. Salam Rolam,

    I like this theme. However, I’ve got a WordPress MU site and I don’t think this is compatible for it.

    Is there anyway, you can make it compatible for WordPress MU?

    cheers,
    Armand

    • r_shahin says:

      Salam Armand,
      Thanks for dropping by. I’m not sure I’m going to to able to make it compatible, I’ve been really really busy with my exams and work lately, plus I don’t design themes for MU, but I’ll see if I can come up with a new version of DE that works on both WP and WP MU and that has better coding and options.
