Thanks for designing wonderful themes. You are very creative and talented guy
I like the theme so much I’m considering using it instead of my own tweaked Blix theme.
@ spekvriend
The page problem can be fixed by editing the functions.php.
Don’t like to blow my own horn like this, but I’ve written a short explanation here: http://info-ninja.net/blog/2007/01/31/quick-fix-wordpress-21-navigation-problem/
Sadish,
It’s interesting, when I log into the wp-admin…the dashboard shows the correct number of posts (47) under “blog stats.” Just thought I would share that.
Thanks again,
-eric
Thanks for your reply Sadish!
I already found out that the exclude-option only is shown when using WP 2.0 and not when using WP 2.1.
Any idea when to expect an update?
spekvriend
Thanks Sadish…wow, updating the theme is going to take some time for me. But I’ll give it a try when you release the next version. Thanks again, glad to know there wasn’t something wrong with my WP install.

eric,
WP 2.1 uses the same table for storing posts / pages.
i will fix it in the next update.
Sadish
Hi Sadish,
I have upgraded to WP 2.1 and now on the sidebar of my site…it is displaying “There are 54 posts and 13 comments.” Since the upgrade it looks like it’s including 7 extra posts in this total (as there are really 47 posts). The extra posts are actually pages and have somehow gotten included in the total. Do you know how I can set it to display the actual posts again without including the pages?
Thank you,
Eric
P.S. I love this theme…check out my site when you get a sec to see what I’ve done with it.

spekvriend ,
look at the theme options page, under the “Presentation” menu.
That should help.
[This version is only for wordpress 2.0. series]
Sadish,
I downloaded terrafirma 3.3, and created some pages. There’s one page that I don’t want to put in the main menu, but I want a summary in the sidebar with a “continue reading” message. Can you tell me how I do that?
In your introduction you mentioned you can excluded pages from the main navigation. But I don’t seem to have that function…
thanks!
sadish,
two questions.
1. I want to link into my website from the Pages section in my terrafirma blog. how do I go about getting the links into the Pages sidebar nav? or do i use the links nave? if so, what type of code do i use?
2. Is it possible to utilize the left and right margins for small photos and animated gif’s about other aspects of the site? if so, how do I go about adding images and the like to those columns?
thanks for the help. I love the design.

hi sadish im from india.i am from bogspot and want to switch to wordpress.and im trying one of your theme but i could not find where to edit the theme in my adm tool.give me solution to my email.
thanks
sadish,
deleting the “current_page_item” sorted the problem out.
the font seems to be the same as well. awesome.
of course, a new set of problems has arrived. from http://www.irakoplowitz.com i can access the GALLERY icon, but from the blog, http://www.irakoplowitz.com/applications/wordpress i cannot. i’ve tried re-writing the code, but cannot figure out why it won’t link to http://www.irakoplowitz.com/gallery/markets/index.html
thanks for the quick reply.
ira
the one applications/wordpress has all the navigation links with a class “current_page_item”. is it something you put / the system generated it this way. ?
sadish,
i really like the theme. have a couple of questions… i am using it for both a website, as well as with wordpress. if you go to http://www.irakoplowitz.com you will see that the headers, HOME, BLOG, etc. only have a white block over the lettering when the mouse is placed over them. at http://www.irakoplowitz.com/applications/wordpress the HOME, BLOG etc have the white block to start. how can i get the blog to look the same way as the homepage?
also, the title and blog info lettering are different on the two sites. is there a way to make them the same.
ira
is it possible to place advertisements in the left and right margins of the terrafirma template, both in wordpress as well as in a website? where would i add code for such a thing? i am new to dreamweaver and also use seamonkey.
thanks… and fyi, still learning.

Turns out it was the wp-mobile plugin. I didn’t install the theme component of the plugin, which WP didn’t like, so it reset to default theme every time someone visited my blog with a phone or PDA.
I’m still wondering about which CSS elements need to be edited to make the right sidebar twice as wide as it is now. Any help greatly appreciated.
David,
Resetting back to the default theme, is nothing to do with the theme. it happens because of wordpress and see this page for more.

Thanks

Another question. Terrafirma keeps on resetting back to the default 2.05 theme. This started yesterday. There is a small chance it could be from my host’s grid server which has a distributed database but I’m trying to figure out if there is any reason why terrafirma would arbitrarily reset back to the default? I have a tons of plugins but none that would make the theme change.
I don’t mean three columns, I can float content left and right in the existing right column. I want to increase with width of the right colum to 260 pixels which shouldn’t be too complicated. My concern is that the container div’s for both columns need to change as well and I’m not sure what needs to be edited to reflect the new column widths.
See http://www.techcrunch.com/ for an example of what I mean to do.
Ernani,
I tried to do what you wanted, on my test install, and it seems it is more work that I cannot write it down over an email. I will work on it when I get some free time, and if I come up with something I will post here.
David,
If you wanted a third column, you are introducing another complication to the layout.
If you really need 3 columns, you would be better off, using a 3 column theme as your starting point.
Hello
Sadish are you there? =D
Still waiting!
Thanks !
I would like to have the right sidebar be about 260 pixels wide, to hold two columns of information, one with vertical banner ads and the other with menu items. What exactly do I change to 240px in the CSS to achieve this that works across most browsers? I can probably get it 240 pixels wide, but want to make sure the new width works an d not just on my Mac. Thanks, great theme!
Hello Sadish, I have a new question. Terra Firma has two top images, I want to modify, so i can have only one. How can i enlarge the space to the TOP image?
Thanks
Ernani Sandino
I am not sure why it would fail on one server.
check if they have a different version of PHP installed on the server ?
Sadish
Dear Sadish, this is a great theme – thanks very much. I have installed and modified it successfully at one site, but when I installed it at http://www.library.ie/blog2/ I get this error:
Parse error: parse error in /www/www.library.ie/blog2/wp-content/themes/terrafirma/sidebar.php on line 59
Any ideas?
Cheers, Brendan Teeling
