Hello and thanks for the wonderful theme. i have one question.I want to show full text in featured posts. how do i do that?
One of the best theme ever saw for wordpress. keep up the good work.
AWSOME THEME !
Help – does anyone know how to slow down the slides on the home page ?
Thanks. http://www.cretedirectsolutions.com
Swift perfect, my website theme.
nice theme
Ops it eliminated the actual Code
Hopefully Satish will be able to post it up. I am sure he knows how to do it :).
Hello Shujaat,
Thanks for sharing the code.
I’m not sure about the effect it has in search engine rankings.
Here is how you do it..
Replace the below line in swift/includes/features.php
<?php include('thumb.php'); the_excerpt(); ?>with
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?> <?php include('thumb.php');?></a><?php the_excerpt(); ?>Thank You so much Satish for your excellent work, I really like your theme and best of all its FREE and works as good as a premium theme, maybe even better (I am not a web or seo guru lol).
Anyway I just customized featured.php to fit my need. I wanted to hyperlink the pictures so that when a user clicks on the picture, it goes to that post. If anyone needs to do the same then here is the code:
==============================================
Open featured.php
Find this code:
Replace with:
<a href=" “rel=”bookmark”>
===============================================
I am not sure if that is good in terms of SEO. What do you think Satish?
Now this theme truly rocks.
For some reason, there is no “reply” button in the comments section on my blog. (It uses the swift theme.) Why is this?
You should enable threaded comments in your wordpress settings.
Got to settings->discussion and enable threaded comments.
Thanks for the update! Keep up the good work!
