Regarding the thumbnail and featured posts images issue, just set the file permission of timthumb.php and folder cache to 777 and images must be uploaded in your wordpress not an external image from other site. if none of this works then it’ your end that has a problem, for that, contact your host to fix the issue.

Lastly, about the footer widget, you can only edit or customize that part by requesting a link removal. see our license page

As posted in status on my twitter account, I’m announcing today the released of version 1.2 of my Newspress theme, includes re-coding the whole structure for much cleaner code and better markup, added more SEO features not just breadcrumb, now support threaded comment and wordpress 2.9 post thumbnail, as well as the implementation of my new theme options panel.

On the side note, when upgrading prior to this version, your previous settings will be lost!.

So that’s it, if there’s anything i missed or found bugs, error, etc kindly post a comment. Cheers!

JQUERY EQUAL HEIGHT CODE:

function equalHeight(group) {
	tallest = 0;
	extended = 0;
	group.each(function() {
		thisHeight = $(this).height();
		if(thisHeight > tallest) {
			tallest = thisHeight;
		}
	});
	group.height(tallest);
}

USAGE:

$(document).ready(function() {
	equalHeight($(".recent-article"));
	equalHeight($(".footer-col"));
});

but for some reason under 960 grid system the script above did not get the exact height of a column so as the result the layout mess up like hell for google chrome browser and safari.

WHAT DID I DO:
I call the equalHeight function directly on onload function.

window.onload = equalHeight($(".recent-article"));

i really don’t know how to explain this but it really works. hope this helps.

It’s been for sometime since i released a wordpress theme for free. While my old themes are still on the process of updating ( take’s time ) i’m also working for a new crunchy wordpress theme Foliopress, a new high quality premium wordpress theme which is a combination of a portfolio and a blog. I know its common style nowadays since lots and lots of developer making a wide variety of themes that is why i decided to still release it for FREE.

Here’s some features preview of the theme:
