Latest News on front page
  • Hi, I'm loving the ZpSkeleton theme but have one question so far.

    On your first screenshot of the theme I see Latest News and Comments below the strip of Latest Images but I don't see that on my site - everything looks the screenshot except the missing news and comments. I have a few published news articles so I'm guessing I just have to enable this feature somewhere but I can't find it.

    I see the following code in bottom.php and assume that's where Latest News and Comments are placed on the page. Have I missed a setting in the theme options to enable this?

    <?php if ( ($zenpage) && (function_exists('printCommentForm')) && ($zpskel_usenews) ) { ?>
    ">

    ">

    <?php echo gettext('Latest News'); ?>


    <?php printLatestNews(1,'none','',true,true,250,false,'Read More...'); ?>

    Thanks for your time.

  • Hmm, should be working as long as you have the theme option "Use News" checked. Do you have a "News" menu item in the top bar? Do you have a link I can check out?
  • I appreciate the speedy reply.

    Ahhhh I just figured it out while replying here. I did not have the Comment Form plugin activated - once I activated that, the Latest News appeared beneath the Random Images.

    So clearly the Latest News feature also requires the Comment Form plugin?

    If so, that's fine.

    Thanks
