Title: “Slick” for WordPress Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # “Slick” for WordPress * [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/) * Finally finished, complete with working javascript theme chooser as per Marco’s original. I have made some minor alterations to the structure and CSS but it is generally pretty much the same as the original. * [Go check out the look and feel.](http://themedev.hamarana.com) * or * [Go read about it and then download it from my downloads area.. ](http://www.hamarana.com) * Please no hotlinking, I am trying to keep tabs on how many times these themes get downloaded. Thanks for your understanding.

The entire right sidebar has that for each section. its a nice touch. Firefox, Safari and Opera all see the hover. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192306) * Whoa! That is flat COOL! It’s different, interesting, and nifty, with a lot of detail but doesn’t load kludgy slow. Thanks for posting so we can see it, and I’m downloading it now! * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192308) * Thanks vkaryl, but more thanks to Marco for creating it in the first place. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192309) * Heh – well, yah, but then I KNOW it took a lot of work for you to port it! * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192311) * errr… yeah… and hair tearing and discombobulation %-} * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192523) * There is one problem with this theme which remains, but which, unfortunately, I am unable to account for. It is brought about by people installing wordpress in places other than the root of their webspace. eg: it goes into /wordpress/ or /wp/ or an infinite number of other possibilities. * I have had two complaints of no graphics showing (lord knows what the other 29 of you are doing.. maybe no issue at all). this is because of the above and the requirements of the javascript theme switcher. I WILL add instructions in my download area. But this is what people using Slick for WordPress need to do for the moment (I am only 90% certain it will fix it but…its all I have to offer) * Here’s what you can try… * open up swticher.js with a PLAIN text editor and find on line 48 * `var TEMPLATEDIR = “/wp-content/themes/slick_for_WP/â€?; // path to template dir` * and change it to * `var TEMPLATEDIR = “/whatever-dir-you-have-wp-installed-in/wp-content/themes/ slick_for_WP/â€?; // path to template dir` * It OUGHT to fix the no gfx problem if you have it. PLEASE let me know if it does not. * This problem with the javascript ONLY applies to people who have their wordpress install in a subdirectory. * What will apply to everyone is a problem with the footer graphic. it refuses to stay under the content, only the right sidebar will keep it down there. any other placement and it wanders all over the page. I may have to remove it from a future version, I think, unelss someone comes up with some decent and elegant solution. it is a css problem and be darned if i can figure it out. * [neon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neon/) * (@neon) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192582) * Oh my! “Slick” ain’t the word. Excellent port and thank you for the effort. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192584) * kyte: as to the footer…. I haven’t as yet had time to twink with it, but have you done a “clear: both” with a 1px top border on the footer? * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192595) * vkaryl… noooooooooooooooooo! I’ll give it a try later (i had already removed it from the demo site). I’m now struggling with another theme as well (feeling a tad prolific this weekend!) * [@neon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neon/) 🙂 thanks * [jennmiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jennmiller/) * (@jennmiller) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192695) * vkaryl, the footer suggestion you offered does indeed work. Thanks! I’m pretty sure it will be added to the download. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192706) * You’re very welcome. Ran across that one on another site I use…. * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192792) * jennmiller… want to give me the code? I am still learning css and need to do research into this before making alterations. a Kind soul giving me the code and the location it needs to be will mean I can fix and reupload asap. * thanks to both you and vkaryl, in advance. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192794) * Depending on the situation, I use either “clear:both” in the #footer element; or if I need it more than once I use it in a class, as `.clear {clear:both;}`. * Then in the #footer element, you also include border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; (or whatever color matches the footer background) or you can use border: 1px solid transparent; (though I have occasionally had trouble with the use of “transparent”– and not a clue why either!) * Thread Starter [kyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyte/) * (@kyte) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/#post-192795) * OK, ill fiddle now, thanks for that 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘“Slick” for WordPress’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [slick](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/slick/) * [Theme Announcements](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/theme-announcements/) * 23 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [seubanks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seubanks/) * Last activity: [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slick-for-wordpress/page/2/#post-193121) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
