   I am using the same template as this forum (se7en) and it’s great. The problem I’m having is that the header images are not appearing on my site mr5son.com I know the instructions say: Works auto, will load specified image with custom field.
   Just add the key = front_image and value = your image url for the post,
   then the slider will load this image.
   However I am unsure WHERE to add these custom fields…. Can someone give me some advice please? Here is how an image appears in a typical post:

   How would I change this code to include instructions on adding it to the header?

   Slider images should be set as featured image in each post,
   then they are auto resized and used in slider,

   however one of your plugins is interfering with the slider js,

   disable all your plugins (wpgroho),
   check frontpage if slider loads and works
   then enable each plugin with checking frontpage
   to find out which plugin is the cuplrit.

   Thank you so much!!! That seems to have fixed it.

   It seems as if I add pages and regardless of whether I want them in the top menu or not they appear when I post. Is this something all WP templates do?

   Why do my thumbnails not line up all pretty like yours do? Is there a recommended size or shape for these things?

   And finally how do I remove the signup thumbnail? I'd like it somewhere else on the page... like yours.

   Pages:
   care to explain further? not very clear.

   Thumbnails:
   Theme does size imgs in width and height by aspect ratio, not via css,
   best view is with 1000px witdh and 600px height, then the thumb will work as well.

   signup thumbnail
   Open item php, find line 38 and modify to your likings.

   regarding number 1... It seems as if I add pages and regardless of whether I want them in the top menu or not they appear when I post. Is this something all WP templates do?

   let me elaborate.... if you look at my site... you'll see on the top nav "home, tutorials, lessons, etc"... the "overview / syllabus" page is published but not in my custom menu.... yet it keeps appearing in this top nav.... can I make it published but not part of the menu?

   Further, I've noticed the top category line... is much longer in IE than in firefox... is this a bug? Something I can tweak? Can I make these bars semitransparent?

   Thanks for the balance... I'll work on them.

   Pages:

   se7en has no custom menu right now,
   planned in next version

   however you can exclude pages by id from the top menu like so:
   open nav.php and find line 1
   change from
   wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order');
   to
   wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&exclude=1,2,3&sort_column=menu_order');
   where the numbers are your page id numbers

   ie bug:
   which ie version and system?
