    Yes, this should be possible with CSS and core WordPress post classes.

    Just add something like this to your style.css:

    .post.category-html h2 {
    padding-left: 32px;
    background: url(http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32/file_extension_html.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
    }

    .post.category-php h2 {
    padding-left: 32px;
    background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0680/page_white_php.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
    }

    .post.category-css h2 {
    padding-left: 32px;
    background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0300/css_valid.png) no-repeat 0 8px;
    }

    Then put your posts in categories of slug ‘php’,’html’,’css’.

    *Note – You should also download the referenced icons/images to your server instead of linking to theirs.

    I see, then your best bet is to just leave the text header as-is and add a background image attribute to the #header selector.

    change:

    #header {
    clear: both;
    margin-top: 16px;
    }

    to:

    #header {
    clear: both;
    margin-top: 16px;
    background: url(http://www.url.com/path/to/image.png) no-repeat right center;
    }

    …obviously replacing the URL to the image with one of your own.

    If you go to “Theme Options” and select “Display a custom image/logo image in place of title header” you can upload an image or paste the URL to one from your media library.

    Below that, you can set your logo width and logo height. You should resize the image prior to uploading so it doesn’t look choppy. The size is up to you – depending on the orientation of your logo graphic.

    To align it to the right, you’ll need to edit the style.css.

    Find:

    #header .inner {
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    }

    and change to:

    #header .inner {
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    float:right;
    }

    Glad you like the theme :)

    You should be able to add any widget to the ‘Forum Sidebar’ location.

    If bbPress is installed, this widget location gets registered:

    If it isn’t showing up, make sure it isn’t commented out in the forum templates you want it to show in. I only enabled it in the templates I felt were necessary (like the member pages).

    On some of my forum pages I wanted a wide page, but you can certainly change it.

    For example, to change the forum home page template, open archive-forum.php in the theme editor and just uncomment this line:

    // get_sidebar('bbpress');

    Then, in functions.php find this line:

    // force wide on bbPress pages
    if (is_bbpress()) {
    $columns = 'sixteen';
    }

    and change ‘sixteen’ to ‘eleven’ to accommodate the sidebar.

    I just checked on a few PC’s and was not able to see this in Chrome.

    The theme does allow you to change the font settings in the admin, so if you want to set it to a more safe font for your own peace of mind, feel free to do so. If you can replicate this error on more than one system, I’ll be glad to look into it in more detail.

    That looks strange…almost like it’s using a completely different font. Do you have any custom font settings set in Chrome or your OS? It could also be a damaged font. I’ll look into it and see if I can replicate the problem.

    Hi, thanks for the feedback. Actually I chose to hide the sublevel items in mobile view. I do intend to address it more practically, though. It shouldn’t be difficult. My original thinking was to provide some method of access on subpages after a user has clicked. It just seemed to be a cleaner approach while enforcing usability. That said, what I can do is apply a CSS rule that overrides the display:none rule on current/active menu items or add a JavaScript user agent script that adds a slidedown effect. I’ll play around with this a bit later today. in the dentist chair right now :(
