The readme tile is called readme.txt and it is in the zip file that you download from WordPress.

To change the picture, you’ll have to edit style.css. On or about line #47, you will see the #picture selector, and can change your picture there.

I can’t find the “read me” file to read.

I need to know how to replace the big picture — I don’t want to disable it, just replace it.

Go ahead to the Blossom theme page and use Preview – it works fine. But the default is the picture showing.

I am just heartbroken that we can’t resolve this problem. Watch – it will turn out to be something very simple that we’ve both overlooked.

Something must be different with my environment. As I mentioned in my 2/28 forum post, I created a brand new install, no customization, no widgets, no posts (other then the default). Selecting the lone Hello World recent post still doesn’t show correctly when not logged in.

Oh well, thanks for your help.

It’s easy to update through the themes panel and should keep your options. it’s working like a charm on the demo site. I just wish I was good enough to be able to code it to choose different pictures on different pages! I’m sure it’s been done, but i’ve got so much to learn! I’ll never catch up,
One thing about me, I learn my lessons exceedingly well. I will beta test the pants off any theme I release in the future!

Don’t feel bad, I’m just so happy you created this theme.

I’m not sure how it automatically shows up in themes that there is an update. I can wait for that or you can send me the zip file.

Either way and thanks again.

After testing out a few things (I was looking at the recent posts module at first), I looked through my files and found stupid error. I’ve updated the files and uploaded the zip to WordPress.org, but can give you a zipped copy. It works now, I promise!

I feel bad about this, and profoundly silly. Good thing I don’t do this stuff for a living!

Thanks – I’m not sure where is the best place to communicate, here or in the forum. I saw the reply in the forum but wasn’t sure if it was intended for me or not.

We haven’t modified any code. Certainly not since I just updated to 2.2 this morning.

I’ll wait for your reply before I take any more steps (like removing and reinstalling the theme).

Thanks again for your help.

I should also add – make sure you have the tabbed module options enabled in the theme options!

Dave, did anyone paste some code in the sidebar? They may have tried to add somethng, and accidentally erased a character that was needed! I tried both the recent version, and the latest version which is now available through download in your control panel.

In both cases, either logged in or out, there was no problem such as you describe. Try starting over with the new files – the module code is tricky and it’s best not to mess around with it. You can change the tab names in the theme options page, and use their corresponding sidebars and pop in your own widget, which will of course whatever is in the tab’s content div.

There’s a detailed readme file included in the theme package that can explain a lot of things.

Sorry for the trouble you had!
