   Hi Milo

   I recently started using the Tech 9 theme for a simple site for my consultancy business - http://deepfootprints.co.uk/

   Firstly, I want to say thanks as I really like the theme as it fits perfectly the simplicity that i was trying to achieve.

   However, I have a few issues that I cannot get my head around:

   1) When I post a blog post I have a box that hovers over the post following me around the screen (I think that it is a slidebox div?) offering other blog posts - so far I only have two. This unfortunately makes it very difficult to read the post that you have gone to and there is no way for users to close the pop up and also there is no way for me to turn off this functionality. Is this a bug or is there something that i am missing?
   2) The title sliders do not appear at all - I thought that this maybe because I have a static page acting as the homepage but when I disable that they still do not appear?
   3) How can I edit the imagery of the tech9 logo - I want to brand the theme my own way but these are not simply images that i can switch out for others?

   If it helps I am running Firefox 5.

   Thanks

   Joel

   Hi Milo

   I am already running version 3.17.1 so unfortunately that doesn't answer that one.

   Also, i have tried to deactivate all plug ins to see if the sliders started to work but they didn't.

   I am on WP 3.0.1
   Theme version is 3.17.1
   hosting is shared
   Plug ins are:
   Akismet
   Contact Form 7
   Google Reader Widget
   Headspace2
   Google XML Sitemaps with qTranslate Support

   I have attached a screenshot of the related posts issue:
   

   Another quick question regarding tech 9.

   The theme doesn't come with RSS as standard. What is the best way for me to add an RSS feed for the site and add a button?

   Many thanks for your help.

   Joel

   RSS:
   each WordPress install has by default all Feeds enabled,
   Tech 9 is not interfering with it, read more about RSS at WP Codex.

   Adding a link or a button through sidebar like this:
   <a href=”<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>”><img src=”your img source” alt=”rss” ⁄><⁄a>

   Adding a link in nav menu:

   <li>
   <a href=”<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>”>RSS><⁄a>
   <⁄li>

   inside the ul tags.

   Slider

   contact form 7 loads jquery again, that interferes with already loaded jquery,
   try cforms and set js loading only on contact page through cform options, so js will be loaded only on contact page and not on every page like the bulky cform7.

   Related slider:
   Open header php, go to line 74 and remove this:

   <?php if ( (is_single()) ) { ?>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   $(function() {
   $(window).scroll(function(){
   /* when reaching the element with id "last" we want to show the slidebox. Let's get the distance from the top to the element */
   var distanceTop = $('#last').offset().top - $(window).height();
   if ($(window).scrollTop() > distanceTop)
   $('#slidebox').animate({'right':'0px'},300);
   else
   $('#slidebox').stop(true).animate({'right':'-430px'},100);
   });
   /* remove the slidebox when clicking the cross */
   $('#slidebox .close').bind('click',function(){
   $(this).parent().remove();
   });
   });
   </script>
   <?php } ?>
