Excellent theme… I love the video inserts… it just show another extension of blog power.
What is the hex color for the bar at the top (where the pages are listed)? I’m trying to match something to that color and can’t find the info in the sytle sheets.
Thanks!

Thanks! I L~O~V~E this theme. I have one more question, the bar across the top looks different on my page compared to the pic. ~ I’m not sure what setting I need to adjust.
Where is the best place or how should I go about asking general help questions?
You can ask them here.
Can you send your dashboard access to me via the contact form on this website. I will have the menu fixed for you.
Or you can do this :
click on “menus” under “appearance” in dashboard and setup which pages and what order
Perfect! Thank you! It looks good.
How do I update the photo in the carousel and the featured videos in the sidebar?
You need to create custom fields for image in carousel. Its explained below the buy link.
you can update the featured video in “Serene” options page
I updated the carousel successfully, but still can’t update the picture of the featured video in the side bar. I used the image_100_100 but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Create custom field “video_252_206″ paste the youtube url in its value.
Also add some excerpt to the posts you featured, it will show up below the images in featured carousel
Thanks for the tip on the excerpts! I put the video info in and now no image show up under featured videos. How do I fix?

Hi, I have one of your themes.. this one looks great too. and This one might be better.. Dilemma, you do not have an option to put in the “FEATURE” posts, other themes, it picks up the posts automatically.. my header has been blank… any advice????
you can select which posts to show up in the featured carousal, if you don’t it shows random posts
How can i have the WP_PageNavi at the bottom of page like Terra wordpress theme?

Very nice theme and perfect for the transformation of my old static webpage with a lot of content… Two questions though: Is it ready for translation and does it come with a documention?

Having trouble uploading serene zip. WordPress fails to install. Any special instructions?
Nevermind. Found it.
How do I add the Today’s Polls widget to my sidebar? I have an account with polldaddy and have a poll already made. I can only seem to post it on the main blog section of the page not on my sidebar.
You need to use wp-polls plugin.
