nice theme you got there.

 

Thanks.. actually i was about to change that theme.. but atleast one of you suggested that it looks good.. Great... by the way


Anyone know how to change the label of search button to "GO" from "Search"????

 

For your first question, replace your header with this:

<div id="header">
	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.png" width="250" height="45" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>- <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" title="" />
</div>

Code (markup):

Of course "logo.png" the image width and image height need to be changed (depending on what the image filename is, its width and its height, and of course, where it's at). However, the image must be inside your theme, which is why in the example I gave I have it inside a folder named "images" that resides inside the theme folder.

For your second question, you have to go to searchform.php and change the value of the submit button (it's most likely an input element) from "Search" to "Go" (or you can use the button element, if you know how to code it properly).

 

I cant find a term 'search' in search.php but i can see that in searchform.php... which is pasted below......

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" size="15" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

I replaced value="Search" to value="GO" stil it didnt worked...

i think we need to change ' <input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" size="15" />'

 

Ah, good catch. As much as I've been dealing with WordPress lately, you'd think I would have remembered it was the search form, not the search results page. Sorry about that.

Now as it is, you should have been able to change the value of the submit button to Go! from Search. Odd that it didn't take though. And no, you don't need to change the input that you stated. Doing that will actually break the search form (I found that out the hard way once).

 

Anyone else here.. is aware about this?

 

Try this. I just lifted it from a custom search form I wrote (but it's not 100% accessible yet since I'm not using fieldsets/legends and labels).

	<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" id="search-form" method="get">
		<div>
			<input name="s" id="search-field" type="text" title="Type Your Search Query Here" size="25" value="Search This Site" />
			<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Search" />
		</div>
	</form>

Code (markup):

Feel free to modify the text content (including the title) to suit your tastes.

 

None of those worked for me. Changing the header image does not seem to work either. I don't know what's going on.

 

I use a theme that allows me to change the header image easily. you can check them out at my signature.

 

BOG, can you PM me with a link to a .zip file of your theme (as it's currently installed on the server) along with a list of what plugins you're using? Something tells me there's more going on here than meets the eye.

 

I'm not sure how to do that. I installed it directly from my ISP with Fantastico. I just clicked a couple buttons and it was installed. I did not have to download anything.

I would think changing the kubrickheader.jpg image would do the trick. I took the original kubrickheader.jpg image and put it in photoshop and changed the color and added some logo. Then re-uploaded it replacing the original kubrickheader.jpg logo. Nothing happened.


I renamed the file name to newkubrickheader.jpg and changed the code in .css to newkurickheader.jpg also. It messed it up, so I changed it all back to just kubrickheader.jpg

There seems to be code somewhere telling it to display the font logo still and not the image logo I think. I just don't know where.

 

Ah, you're using the default theme then. I thought you were using a custom one.
