  Ed, I love this theme! The picture of Portugal reminds me of the North Coast of Cornwall. I am a newbie to all this and I was wondering if you could tell me how to get rid of the advertising block on the side bar>

  Mark says:

  Thank you for an excellent theme!
  I also want to get rid of the Image Advertisements and Browse functions but this doesn’t seem to be possible via the Widgets section. Spending evenings digging in the code isn’t really my thing, or do you have a simple solution for this?

  Mark.

  @Mark

  Go to your Appearance on your Dashboard. Then go to Editor. Find this set of code and delete it.

  Oops! Sorry for the double post but I forgot codes doesnt work on comments.

  @Mark
  Go to your Appearance on your Dashboard. Then go to Editor. On the right side, click on sidebar (sidebar.psp). Find this set of code and delete it.

  Image Advertisements

  hope this helps.

  Mark says:

  @Jan

  This is exactly how far i’d gotten before posting my question, but my php editing skill needs some serious brushing-up. Despite the local backups you’re always afraid of deleting too much code at once. Anyway, after some trial and error I managed to do the trick. Now on to the next item

  Thank you very much for your reply!

  Jon says:

  Is it possible to modify the code to allow full posts in the archives?

  Thanks

• 4th February 2009 at 12:08 pm

  Ed Merritt says:

  @Mark & @Jan – those advert space holders are only shown if you are using the non-widget sidebar. Removing them from sidebar.php is the quickest solution, but I’d consider using the widgetised sidebar – it offers far more flexibility (and comes set up as default with wordPress 2.7)

  @Jon – it looks like you’re running a hosted blog over at wordpress.com (which only offers the old version of this theme)

• 5th February 2009 at 12:52 am

  Jon says:

  Sorry, I gave you the old link.

  I am running my own hosted version now… I knew that i would have to if I wanted to make a change like that… but I still cant quite figure out the php mod to do this. I was expecting to see the_excerpt(); in your php and was just going to change it to the_content();

  Thanks

• 5th February 2009 at 9:17 am

  Ed Merritt says:

  @Jon – the archives dont show excerpts or full posts by default, just the title and date etc. The add post content into the archive, just insert the following code at line 33 of archive.php (just before ‘the_tags’):

  <div class="entry">
  <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry &raquo;’); ?>
  </div>

  Niels says:

  seems to be missing from header.php. If you want to use Lightbox2 or Shadowbox you need to put it in.

• 5th February 2009 at 5:14 pm

  Jon says:

  Ed,

  Thank you very much… it worked great. I had a syntax error at first, but realized that the cut-n-paste from this page translated the single quotes into the wrong characters, after fixing that in the editor it worked perfect.

  Thanks again

• 7th February 2009 at 2:29 pm

  Michael says:

  I had to add to header.php to make lightbox and nextgen gallery work. Otherwise they couldn’t insert the required headers.

• 7th February 2009 at 2:30 pm

  Michael says:

  And sinde I can’t display php code apparently, what you heed to do is to add wp_head(); inside php tags to header.php

• 9th February 2009 at 7:45 pm

  Silu says:

  Hi,

  Is there anyway we can change the header picture? Thank you!

  Silu

• 10th February 2009 at 4:30 am

  Jon says:

  Silu,

  In the header php… scroll down almost to the bottom. The picture is referenced in the div id photo tag, rewrite the location of your image. It needs to be sized 840 x 261.

  Hopefully my code below posts right…

  <div id="photo">
  <img src="<?php bloginfo(’stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/mainpic.jpg" alt="Ocean Mist" />

  How do you get rid of the stuff in the sidebar?

• 13th February 2009 at 12:05 pm

  Rob says:

  I could not get the admin bar or NextGEN gallery to work with Ocean Mist 2.0 so I messed around and here are my solutions…

  In the download above someone forgot to close the header stylesheet lookups with “” right after the last reference in the header.php. If you do that then the default WP 2.7 admin bar will work.

  If you add a line and put “” right above “” in header.php then the nextGEN gallery will work properly with columns.

  I made the same mistake as Jon… sorry for the double post.

  I could not get the admin bar or NextGEN gallery to work with Ocean Mist 2.0 so I messed around and here are my solutions…

  In the download above someone forgot to close the header stylesheet lookups with “” right after the last reference in the header.php (line 15). If you do that then the default WP 2.7 admin bar will work.

  If you add a line and put “” right above “” in header.php then the nextGEN gallery will work properly with columns.

  For newbees… do not include the quotation marks just what is between them.

  Stephen Pickering says:

  Hi Ed,
  Thank you first off. I am running 2.7, so I guess I’m running the “widgetized” sidebar. I can add and subtract widgets, but I still have two up there the “Browse with Monthy Archive button and search box” and the “Image Ads” They don’t show up when I’m in Widget editor. How can I take them down or how do I run a widgetized sidebar as you say?

  Also, what is the elastic width layout? Can I make the layout wider? How do I do that? I see the tool where I can automatically change color scheme.

  Thanks,

  How can i remove the borders around images and links.

• 26th February 2009 at 3:13 pm

  buzz_lightyear says:

  @Stephen
  i’ve made my wider by editing the css, it wasn’t any problem (check out my test site http://wp.buzzdev.net).
  Maybe there is some better way to do it. Also if you increase the font size in default.css it will widen itself.

  body {
  position: relative;
  /*background: url(../images/bkg.png) top repeat-x;*/
  font: 68.75% Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
  padding-bottom: 40px;
  }

  If you want to remove those ads and Browse stuff, you gotta edit sidebar.php file.

  Stephen Pickering says:

  Oh wow, Buzz, that’s really beautiful. OK, I’ll try. I don’t know much about CSS, but I think I can change a number, and I guess I need to start learning. I have a Lynda account and some books. OK, I changed it to 80% and that worked, but I don’t know if I like it like that. How did you widen it without increasing the font size? Or is that too complicated to explain here? Man I wish I could do half the stuff you are doing there. Looks so professional and has geek cred. Really a great looking site. Thanks a lot

  Stephen Pickering says:

  Hey Buzz,
  How do you get all those little buttons into your post, the stumble upon, digg, technorati etc?

• 27th February 2009 at 9:42 am

  buzz_lightyear says:

  @Steven
  those little buttons ar coming from “Sociable” plugin. I also needed to adapt the Ocean Mist’s css for it to appear better, because the theme was adding unnecessary border around any and all images all over the place (same vas happening to star rating).

  @all
  If you want, i can share my modified theme, absolutely no problem with that.

  Also if you like to know the list of all plugins i use there, i can post them.

• 27th February 2009 at 11:19 pm

  Stephen Pickering says:

  Oh yeah, Buzz, that would be great. I would be interested.

• 28th February 2009 at 10:07 am

  Stephen Pickering says:

  Hey Buzz,

  I installed the Sociable plugin. But they are displaying Veritically. Do you know how to correct that as well as get rid of the dots and the borders? Looks like I need to edit some HTML source Code as Well as the CSS style sheet for sociable according to what I found in WordPress Forums. I know how to open a style sheet and edit it, but how or which file so I open to edit a HTML source code specifically where I put the Sociable pluging. Here’s the answer I found in the forums, which sounds right, but I don’t know how to implement it, at least on the HTML file side. I’m sure you know. You’ve got yours looking the way I would like.

  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216344?replies=7#post-1000926

  It’s the answer about half way down by “ShirouJune” that seems to sound right. I’m not sure though.

  Hi,

  So i’ve read the above posts wrt the sidebar, but for the life of me, i just can’t seem to get it right 100%. Please help.. my code skills are minimal.

  I want to adapt this theme to look more like a website instead of a blog, so I’d like to remove the calendar, date, Posted by admin & No Comments completely. Any ideas on how or where ?

  Help would be appreciated BIG TIME.

  When using IE 6, I can’t get the sidebar with text/html to show up. I have html code to show a graphic with a referring link. Do I have to modify the sidebar php for IE 6? All other browsers work without problems, but unfortunately a lot of people are using IE 6.

  Hello Francis,

  That’s my same problem with the Ocean Mist 2.0 theme Is there any solution for this problem?

  Hi Francis & hotels,
  try OM 2.1.1, i have fixed those problems with IE6.
  Get OM 2.1.1 from http://buzzdev.net/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=36462&start=0

  Hopefully Ed will fix it in his original theme soon.

  Hello Ed,
  Very nice template!
  I have a problem with the “MapPress Easy Google Maps” plug-in. It does not show a map,but a blank area the size of the map in the post.
  If i switch to the “Autumn Concept” template the plug-in works properly and displays the map.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi Ed,
  Great theme! I have a few questions though.

  - Is there a reason why wp_head() is not called in the head section?
  - Are threaded comments enabled or should I need to tweak the comments and functions files for that?
  - How much for a commercial license?

  Cheers,

  The theme is absolutely great. Nothing else seems to work for me.

  Just wondering, do you plan to make a three-column version? How about making the sidebar switchable from right to left?

  Can this new updated theme be available at WordPress.com?

  Hi
  Great free template. Its my first introduction to WordPress. I’ve been at it a week and have lots to learn. One quick question though. I have created an archive page and used the default archive template but the whole list justifies to far to the right.
  I’m sure when I’ve learn some coding this will be a simple fix but until then….

  Changing theme from athualpa to OceanMist_v1, and then OceanMist_v2 (WP 2.7.1), widgets get lost.
  Is there a secret to adding/removing widgets, so that new ones don’t remove the default ones (default seem to be calendar, search, etc…)??
  I seem to be missing something in the customising.

  ash says:

  I have an issue with the header images.
  I have created new ones (ie – mainpic06).
  I have saved them in the images folder. They are all saved as 840×261 at 72 dpi, RGB.
  I can change to all the original sample images by editing the divid=photo etc.
  from mainpic, mainpic01 etc but when I get to mainpic06 I get a broken link in place of the image.
  I have checked my images and they seem to be the same as originals but won’t work.

  Solution for Share This plugin to work: you have to edit the code in header.php by adding the button code above the tag. Not sure why, but adding the button code via the WordPress admin panel has no effect.

  So I widened the body of my page. How, I don’t know, except I used Firebug to screw around with the CSS, until it was the size I wanted and replaced the code.

  great theme. have the same question as Stephen Pickering: what is the ‘elastic width’? like this theme header photo and the blue color combination. the photo give the feel of something big, wide, open. but i right click the image on firefox, can see that the picture dimension is 840×261, scaled to 748×232. how to make it display the original size? would really appreciate tips on how to make it wider, to match the impression given by the header’s photo.

  I like the look and feel of this Theme a lot. This is my third (almost) post here. Each other time, I figured out my question before it hit send. THis time, not so much luck. I am trying to get kPicassa to work with ocean mist. I almost does. When I get to the point where I select an image in an album and want Highslide to take over, i just get the redirect to the image in a new window.

  Could this me a theme interaction? I’ve also tried just standalone highslide implementations with the same result. I do acknowledge that it is likely that I’ve set up something improperly.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Greetings,

  I love the new OceanMist 2, but I have a question.

  As a newbie to blogs, I chose wordpress’s version of OceanMist, but would now like to upgrade to ver. 2, with the tabs…etc.

  How do I do that? Are there directions anywhere?

  Thank You, Kent

  This theme doesn’t display properly in IE. The side bar is under
  the content. On a large screen, the NAv links move to a spot on top of the side bar
  in a vertical format.

  Please advise on what to do/change.
  Thanks.

  Relatively new to blogging and am not a css/html wizard. If someone has a little patience and some time to spare, I have a few questions about this theme that I can’t quite figure out. Please visit my page – http://www.calexilla.com – and send me a message if you’re able to. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  How do I get rid of these borders around the images in this theme? Setting the border to 0 or none, depending on how you do it, doesn’t work.

  Any help on this? Thanks!

  Is there any way to change the outline color of the content balloon (the “speech balloon” that contains the content text)? The outline appears so light, at least on my computer, that you can only see the bottom edge of a comment, and this creates confusion as to which comment belongs to which contributor. Is there a way to make the outline of the content balloon darker? Thanks greatly.

  Great theme! Loved the original, love this update aswell.

  One question though, is there anything I need to do to get the comment boxes to work? I have comments allowed on all pages but none of them actually show a comment box in which people can leave comments.

  I have almost no understanding of php, but I can look up sentences quite easily

  Ed, you’re a fabulous Codes Scholar. My audience and I thank you for this most excellent theme. I’ve used it on WordPress.com as 1.2 for a very pleasant year, and I’m now switching to 2.0 and getting it hosted for pay because BluePlanetAlmanac is growing.

  Ed, Thanks! In my first blog estab 2 days ago, I started off w/a different template, then changed it a few minutes later when I saw your seascape. We live on a lake in N. Florida, USA, and I call my blog Lafayette View. But not a view like yours! Assumed it was Ireland or England, then saw ref to Portugal. I dated a girl from Bournemouth in 1964 at University of Georgia. Sonja (Pratt, I think) was her name. Interesting conversation. Still regret I never asked her out for second date. Don’t know why.

  I’ve been using the default “Kubrick” theme for almost 3 years. I now have 200 fully polished essays posted and I finally realized that the Kubrick theme has some terrible navigation drawbacks. Once inside, you lose all navigation. I also wish the comments were easier to see.

  The one thing I’m loving about Kubrick is that it seems to be “SEO friendly” – if it’s true that some themes are better for SEO than others, then I would say from my experience, Kubrick is excellent.

  After weeks of looking for a good replacement theme, I stumbled on Ocean Mist 2.0, and fell in love with it at first sight. Believe me when I tell you this does not happen to me often. LOL

  But now I am trying to understand if it’s really a good replacement. As I ponder the various features, one of the questions I won’t be able to answer on my own is whether or not Ocean Mist is SEO friendly. In other words, might I risk losing some position on google. I also use a fair number of plugins, and hope this theme is plugin friendly as well.

  I know this isn’t exactly a discussion forum, but if you’re willing to help me understand this, I would greatly appreciate it.

  Best wishes,
  Jerry Waxler

  It removed the code I was trying to leave as an example. Let’s just say search the 1.2 theme in the header.php file for wp_head and add that line in the same spot on the 2.0 theme header.php file.

  Andrew says:

  I’m trying to fix up my sidebar, and found in the code:
  “Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed.”

  In following along with the instructions provided early in these comments, the options are to manually remove default “ads” from the code OR to widgetize the theme. Unless I’m confused, the fact that this is a new version of the theme should mean that it is already widgetized. The statement pasted above from the code agrees with this, but what plugin is it talking about?

  Farshid Ketabchi says:

  andrew, i can’t get rid of the image ads either. it looks like it is already commented out but shows up any way. it is not clear to me what widgetize plugin ed is talking about. i am using wp 2.9.2 on godaddy.

• 21st April 2010 at 8:28 am

  Farshid Ketabchi says:

  cleaned up the sidebar.php to get rid of the widgets. looks like most of sidebar.php can be commented out and instead you can cimply configure the widgets from wp drag-n-drop pallette.

  for changing image you can simply override images/mainpic.jpg (840 x 261). no need to change any code.

  i still have some questions about changing the fonts (making them bigger) and widening the text frame (i.e. reducing the margins).

  i see some notes about from buzz above on this. but not clear to me how to do it exactly. any help is appreciated. thank you.

  Sorry, but I am missing something. I select different colour schemes but they don’t “take.” It just stays on the default scheme. I have been able to go into the database directly and change the scheme but I am sure that is not the solution.
