Hi, I love the theme, but notice that at the bottom of the main page, there is no “next page” “previous page” link …. something I see in most themes for 2.3
Can you tell me what to code in and where? I only like 10 posts on the main page
Thanks! There actually is one in there - so if you have over 10 posts, you’ll see a “Next »” link at the bottom of your main page and “« Prev - Next »” links on subsequent pages.
I just don’t have over ten themes posted on this blog right now - you can look at one of our other blogs to see it in action though ~ http://gardening.savvy-cafe.com/
Hi Jenn! Thanks for posting this theme, I love it.
I was wondering if there was a way to increase the size of the top header - where the blog name shows up - maybe make the banner area itself larger and increase the size of the blog’s name font so the site name stands out more?
I’m not so great with the technical stuff, so if you could point me to a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it!
where it says “font-size,” I would start with font-size: 1.2em and play with it from there. I may make a larger gourmet food header and will post it on this blog if I do.
Thanks Jenn, you’re a doll! Your suggestion worked like a charm. I really appreciate your help and think a larger gourmet food header is great idea if you decide to do it.
Hi Jennifer, I was trying to make the header photos 140 px tall, so I uploaded my new header and I changed the code to this:
#splash {
background:url(img/header.jpg) no-repeat center;
height:140px;
width:900px;
border:#ddd 3px solid;
margin:0px auto;
/*Splash’s redeclared in functions.php for WP 2.1 or greater */
}
The problem is that the header has remained 100px tall… what am I doing wrong?
Also, is there any way to make the blog title (above the header) clickable to back home (without turning the link green)? I’m thinking about it from a usability standpoint.
Fabulous theme, Jennifer. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for to post my restaurant reviews. Alas, somehow I inadvertantly managed to change the theme from two columns to one. All the widgets that used to be on the right side are now below my blog postings. Where have I gone wrong?
I see your posts don’t have categories and such under them now - but it’s still 2-columns - it would be hard for me to tell from here - did you change anything in the sidebar code?
I am ever so grateful for the wonderful theme you’ve selflessly provided. I’ve migrated most of my Web site to a blog format using your theme and am just about ready to go public.
The only issues I’ve run into are format incompatibilities between browsers–everything formats perfectly on IE, but not on Firefox. I know that’s not a theme issue; it’s something I’ll fix over time.
The second issue is not being able to remove the “Meta” widget. I’d just as soon not have anyone trying to log in to the site (no one else will author any content). The “Meta” widget is not shown on the “Manage Widgets” page as a widget currently on my blog and as such, I can’t “remove” it, but sure enough, it displays on every page of my blog.
Hi,
Do you do custom designs?
Thanks,

Jenn,
The zip file for the Gourmet Cafe Wordpress theme is wrong - it says it is the gingerbread theme.
Any chance of emailing me the right one? I LOVE it!!
Trying to get a Wordpress Blog together http://idiotinthekitchen.wordpress.com and have been looking for the perfect theme - Gourmet Cafe is it!
Cheers
Judie
This is the downloaded file is for the gingerbread theme, not the one pictured here.
Fantastic theme but I think the link is pointing to your Gingerbread theme
OOPS - I’ll fix that later tonight guys - SORRY!!
In the mean time - here’s the correct link:

Kyla - post a request and I’ll do my best to try to make one.

Hi - sure - if you want to increase the size of the font at the top, go into the style section (stylesheet) in the editor, then change this part:
#logo p {
margin: 0;
padding: 3px;
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #FFF;
}
where it says “font-size,” I would start with font-size: 1.2em and play with it from there. I may make a larger gourmet food header and will post it on this blog if I do.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
-Jennifer

Thank you so much, this is a fantastic theme!
Hi Erin,
Sure - to adjust the height in WP 2.1 or greater, you also need to edit the height in the functions.php file.
To make a clickable white link in the blog title, enter the following in the header.php file between the div id=”logo” tag and the /div tag
Then take out: rel=”nofollow” and the P tag at the end - (my blog is putting those in automatically).
Then go to style.css and change this:
to this:
Hope that helps - and I’m glad you like it!!
Hi Jennifer (again),
I gave it a try, and I must have done something wrong because the title is still unclickable. This is what my code looks like:
| <a href=”
Is there a close ” missing on the href? I tried to add it in, and got the gobbledegook error. Sorry to be so demanding, but this is driving me crazy!
Thanks again.
Nevermind, I figured it out. Thank you again!
Really nice theme!
May I ask you where you took the images from? They are good too! I would like to use some of them in my WP themes…
Thanks in advance!
Sure - I buy them from:

Thanks for sharing the resource!
I had a question regarding this template and adsense. Even tho it doesnt say its adsense ready, can i still put my adsense codes on it?

Hi Jennifer,
I absolutely love your theme. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the coding via email since I’m beginner. Please let me know.
thank you
Hi, thanks!
I’ll try to help if I get a chance - you can email me at jenn.lea.hall AT gmail.com.
Kristi - you can go into the code and add Adsense - but keep checking back here - soon I will be adding a fresh, new Adsense-ready gourmet theme.
