I would just like to put in my thanks. I just adopted the theme myself
using first page as a statics
how do i remove the posting information, the comments and the uncategorized from the first page
my pages are in the correct order i want them and are numbered appropriately but they are not numbering on the site – am i missing something?
Very sorry, but Panorama isn’t set up for multipaged pages and posts yet – will be within the next week or so…
This theme is really great! Thank you very much!
by the way, I’m trying to add a widget on the sidebar(wowzio) but the result is it’s being pulled & displayed at the bottom. Even if I try to pull it up & switch it to other widgets, all of them will be pulled down. Thanks for your advise.
Hi – Thank you for the fantastic theme! I absolutely LOVE it! Quick question, is there an easy way to change the background color from grey? I don’t know much about working with code, but I was hoping you could point me to a color list with numeric values and tell me where to change it. Thanks for any guidance you can provide!
Yes, I am also interested in the answer to this question!
There’s no easy way – due to the rounded corner images. It may be that the next version of panorama will have 3/4 fixed choices of background, … but that’s a load of work…
Is it possible to add a Facebook link to coordinate with the Twitter link?
Im looking for a way to make the Main page only display the Excerpts instead of the entire article. Most other themes have the option, but I cant find it anywhere in your options. Other than that, the theme has been PERFECT for our needs. Thanks a million!
Date/times aren’t showing up for my 1st and second post on the main page but are showing on the last post. Just shows the posters name a comma, a space then the closing DIV tag in the source…bug?
How do you link the header banner image to your home page?
Does this theme support page breaks/pagination?
I cannot get this to work. Thank you!
GREAT theme! We love it on our site!
Had a question… we’d like to ad a google adsense banner above our actual banner… something like this;
Any tips? Thank you again!
I’ve installed your theme, and it seems great, thanks very much. I can’t, though, work out how to change the header photo to one of my own. Help!
You will need a bit of ptractice with FTP – Upload any jpg, gif, png image to wp-content/themes/panorama/header_images/
i’ve read this tip in the panorama theme options tab in wp… but can you be more thorough. im still having trouble of knowing where to go to upload my own headers… thanx
I would like to use Panorama as my theme – my wordpress blog is hosted with bluehost.com. Please can you instruct me how to upload images from my computer for the header image?
thank you
I love this theme! Is there any chance we could see a three column variation on it?
A case of do not have version 3 column (double siteber)
Was this geared toward me? Is there any way to add one? Thanks!
I wouldn’t immediately think 3 columns are going to work well for most people – the overall layout would need widening (wide sidebars seem the fashion now), and would end up hiding a lot of content for people still on 800px screen resolution (like us oldies)…
A fairly simple job though, if you or somebody has the relevant css skills.

First let me say we LOVE this theme. It looks great, behaves nicely and does everything we need and more.
Here’s my request: Can you change the behavior of the Pages Menu so that I can specify which pages to INCLUDE instead of which pages to EXCLUDE? We currently have only 8 pages that we don’t want to exclude as opposed to 88 pages (and growing) that we need to “exclude”.
It would be so much simpler to allow the user to toggle between INCLUDE and EXCLUDE depending on which choice makes the most sense.
Thanks
A very fair point – but… it’s a free theme
I installed Panorama which I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, and saw it’s just been upgraded. Can you tell us what has been changed since V.2? I’ve also improved the background files to be transparent so the background image shows through at the top. Take a look here:
Thanks,
Tiff
Is it possible to add a background image instead for the colors?
Hi how can i make my category pages only show the titles and not show the whole article?
Thanks
Phil
Its amazing, Thank you for the fantastic theme! I
I understand that Panorama has a JQuery script for the horizontal menu and utils (not sure what this is for), I would like to incorporate a JQuery Accordion slide in-out drawer script. How do I do that without conflicting the original JQuery scripts?
Please advise. Thank you.
Not a problem, jQuery takes care of that…
Would you happen to have a ready-made JQuery Accordion script for this theme? I want to insert two links – user login & search – onto the header. When clicked, it will slide down to reveal (or up to hide) their form respectively.
It’ll be a great add-on for this theme. Please let me know if you do. Thank you.
Except that you probably want a standard show/hide behaviour rather than an accordion, can’t really help, sorry.
Are background images possible?
On Firefox 3 Mac, I see a a 1px wide white line just to the right of the rounded corner page area, extending for the entire length. How to correct this?
Sorry about that – for now, you might try adding which ever colour code the background is to the body in the style sheet – difficult for us to test the Mac versions
body { background : #XXX; }
I’ll try that. I discovered that it only appears when the page is zoomed out (Under View) Might also happen in Windows?
thanks!
Hi there… nice theme. dig it. wondering if I can hide the tag words at the bottom of each post somehow. I’ve been looking for a way to do it in the admin area. Do I need to use a .hide tag?
Thanks for your time…
There’s no admin option for this, sorry
I am trying to change the header image, I am familiar with FTP, when I log into FTP I do not see a folder called wp-content? What am I doing wrong?
Not in the FTP repository, in the actual server files – or use a file manager in server control panel
