$output = preg_match_all ('/<img.*?src=\"((?!\").*?)\"/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
$first_img = $matches[1][0];
if(empty($first_img)){ //Defines a default image
$first_img = "default image link";
}
return $first_img;
}- Now click “excerpt” > excerpt-default.php
- Copy below code and paste it there
<img src="<?php%20echo%20thumb(); ?>" alt="blablabla" />

I can’t locate where to remove the message “Your email bla bla bla will not be shared with the public
It’s in the comment folder section.. Make sure to install “Theme Editor Plugin” to make editing easier for you.
Please where can I find Sponsored music and video
So as to edit dem to my own …
And my features images are not showing, how can I make it show?
Make sure you add image inside the post content. The carrington theme will automatically display the first image in the post content as the feature image.
Goto the FORM folder > then > Comment.php, Look at line 74…. Then edit it as you want….. Anyways, i have removed it, so you can download the latest version.
My trwndind posts not showing. How can I set a trending post
Just make sure you’ve a category called “Trending”….. Them post under the category will display on the theme trending section.
My trending post not showing how cab I set it
I already replied you…..
Please how can I make the new post title bold and how can I add sidebar to the post
You cannot add sidebar… If you want sidebar, then use a different theme for PC..
That’s Carrington theme for Mobile, and use normal WordPress theme for PC version. Then you can add sidebar which will display on PC.
Please how can I use different theme pc
Install normal themes from WP directory and activate it…. Then install the Carrington theme, but don’t activate it.
Then goto “Plugin”, search and install “mobile theme switcher” and activate it.
Then goto the mobile theme switcher option and select Carrington theme for all mobile views and save.
With that, mobile users will see the website Carrington version, while PC users see the normal version.
MY question goes like this how can i create my menus and change the background color of my menus and also add menu icons to my menus and also if possible create a sub menu (categories)
To edit the Carrington Mobile Themes Menu, background color and add icon to menus, you need to edit the header section.
Login to your WordPress dashboard, Goto Appearance, Theme editor, then click on header.php.
Look through the code carefully, you’ll find the background color code. Also look carefully you’ll see all current menus listed there.. Begin to edit them the way you want, then replace each menu icon link (#) with the current icon link you want it to display. Hope that helps. Cheers
How can I increase the size of the feature image and the text to a little bigger size
You can do that from the post data… Check the Post.php and also single.php. Thanks
Hey guys I really commend you guys for the work done.
But I noticed each time I post video it will not work, is Always Big. How do I adjust the size.
Thanks
YouTube video or you uploading video to your WP media?
I added YouTube videos, I embedded but is not show on the post via Carrington but is showing on my desktop theme. What do I do
I don’t have any issue with embedding YouTube on my end. Can i take a look at your website?
Please melody I can upload file(picture or music) using add media..When I upload the file and click add to post it doesn’t add, unless I copy the image urlz and paste on image source
Oh… That’s not a problem from the Carrington Theme.. Because myself I’m using it on my other blog. And people who have downloaded it didn’t complain… I’ll advise you to disable other plugins and try add the photo. If it works, then you should source for the plugin preventing the photo from adding to post.
But i know too well that the problem is not from the Carrington Themes.
Melody how can I remove hottest song showing on everything menu category
Melody how can I remove the hottest song showing on every menu category
Goto “Post Folder” Click to open, then click on “archive.php”. You will see the code on Line 40-57… So if you don’t want the ‘hottest songs’ showing, just remove the code. Thanks
Please how can i add two categories to the trending post..So that the trending will be showing post from two category
You don’t need to add two categories. Just create one category and name it “Trending”.
When creating post, select the post default category and also select ‘trending’ as the second category.
That’s to say, “the post will have two categories”
For example:
Title: How to edit Carrington theme
Category: How to, Trending
Can you see it has 2 categories? Now the post will appear on Trending Table.
I hope you understand that?
How can I make visitor to comment without login in to comment
Hello bro , I noticed each time use the theme I can’t be able to login to my admin page. What’s the cause and what do I do?
Probably there’s something you’re doing wrong. The Theme has nothing to do with your dashboard login..
And if after installing and activating the theme, you cannot login, then just disable it from cpanel Theme folder… Maybe your host has issue with Carrington mobile theme, and that’s rare.
How can I remove login to comment for visitors to comment without login
How to remove login for visitors to comment without login…please melody I need help
