This is so strange to me because I have had the skin running on different versions of PHP…

I am a little baffled by this one. Let me do some more digging and see if I can find anything.

Hmmm, this is very strange to hear. I haven’t had any other users experience activation issues.

If you sent me some login credentials I could try logging-in and activating, otherwise it’s hard for me to know what the problem is. You said you had an error about activating a box.. I’m wondering if there may be a naming conflict.

You could try de-activating boxes/plugins you have installed and then activating the skin.

We should be able to figure this out since activating hasn’t been a recurring problem.

I have not figured out exactly how I am going to work the future pricing model yet since I only have one skin currently but I can assure you that if you purchase Criss Cross you will be grandfathered into the upgraded option. Or in other words, all Criss Cross customers will get special treatment for future downloads.

Lol, that may not make much sense but basically, it will be worth it to purchase.

[ThomasKeymaster]

Haha, I am glad to hear you were able to obtain the skin. I hope you enjoy it!

[ThomasKeymaster]

Hey Bilal! I’m glad you like the box!

I will work some customization options into the box and release them in an update soon.

As far as the 2 horizontal boxes go, it will take some customization to the boxes and the CSS. I will work on the solution and post it here when I finish.

Hey,

Hmmm, that’s strange, are you still having this problem? I just used the .txt file you posted and imported it to Criss Cross and it seemed to work fine.

Did you import using the ‘Manager’ tab within your Thesis skin editor?

[ThomasKeymaster]

Excellent, i’m glad we could get this figured out.

Site is looking great!

Hey!

Hmmmmm, this one might be a little tricky because it sounds like it’s a hosting/PHP issue. I will look into this a little further and see if I can find any information but you may be out of luck until you can update PHP on your VPS host (if that is indeed the problem).

I hope we can get this one figured out.

You’re Welcome Greg,

If you have some sample HTML code for a Mailchimp form you could post I would be happy to help you with the CSS, otherwise I will build support for Mailchimp forms into the next update.

As far as the post images are concerned, their width can be larger or smaller than your post box and they will automatically adjust to fit in the top area of your posts. The width will be the same as the width you set in your ‘Skin Design’ options so I would recommend cropping your photos to that width in pixels.

The height will be shown in full (no overlapping) so if you want a consistent image size, crop the photos to the exact height you would like to remain the same.

I think that should help. Let me know if you need more info.

Hey Carol,

This seems to me like you are trying to upload the skin directly into WordPress using the WP theme uploading feature.

Are you using the Thesis Framework and uploading the skin within the ‘Manage Skins’ section of Thesis in your WordPress editor?

You must first have the Thesis Theme installed to use the Criss Cross skin.

Hey Enzo,

This may be a tricky one. I have had the same problem with other Thesis skins and I found out it ended up being the version of PHP I was running on my hosting account.

Do you know by chance whether you are running PHP 5 or higher?

When I was using iPage, I had the same problem so it might be a hosting-side issue.

Hey Pierre,

If you would like to add images and excerpts to your archive pages, you will need to go into your skin editor and under the archive template, you will add the correct boxes from the tray you would like to display.

The image below should give you an idea of what I mean:

Let me know if this works for you, or if you need any further assistance.

[ThomasKeymaster]

Hey Greg,

1. To use the CC boxes, you will simply add them from the drop-down menu in your “Thesis Skin Editor”, then “Shift + Drag” them into your templates where you would like them to be displayed. After you add them, you can customize the content inside them to your liking.
2. The optin forms are actually created using your HTML code, so while my example does use Aweber, you can use your own HTML form code (with the proper CSS classes) and likely a little CSS tweaking but Mailchimp should work fine with a little customization.
3. For images that are displayed at the top of the post (above your post title, full-width) you will use the “Thesis Post Image” meta box located on your post editor page. I think this is what you were talking about.

If you have any other questions are have problems with this, let me know.

[ThomasKeymaster]

Thank you so much Denis, I am glad you were able to figure this one out! You have the right solution too. “Meet the Author” title was built into the php so this is currently the only way to change it.

I will work a fix into this for a future release.

[ThomasKeymaster]

Hey Andrew,

First of all, I apologize for the delayed response on this. I have been out of town for a few days with family. I assure you the forum is still up and running.

As far as your question about menu display, were you referring to the main menu built into Criss Cross or did you add your own WordPress menu somewhere else in your templates?

I may need to play around with the CSS a little bit.

The simple way to do this is with the code below but it is not likely a complete solution. Any chance you could give me a link to, or a little more information about the menu (is there a sub-menu?).

.menu_control {
    display: block !important;
}

I know this can be done, we will figure it out.
