In the Thesis Open Hook Plugin, search for “Before Header” (or whereever you want to add the breadcrumb navigation). Make you you have the plugin Breadcrumb NavXT installed and activated. Then add the code to the Thesis hook and activate “Execute PHP on this hook”.

<div>
<strong>
<?php
if(function_exists(‘bcn_display’))
{
bcn_display();
}
?>
</strong>
</div>
<br>

You might want to style this differently…

I wanted to add the tweetmeme button to thesis, but

• only on home and posts
• not on pages
• use small button in teaser,

so here we go:

In Thesis Open Hook add

Before Headline

<?php if (!( is_page() )) { ?>
<div class=”tweetmeme_button” style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 15px 15px;">
      <script type="text/javascript">
        tweetmeme_url = '<?php the_permalink(); ?>';
      </script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>
    </div>
   
<?php } else { ?>

<?php } ?>

After Teaser Headline

<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 15px 15px;">
<script type="text/javascript">
tweetmeme_style = 'compact';
tweetmeme_url = '<?php the_permalink(); ?>';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>
  </div>

Et voila!

In life pretty much everything si simple if you know how to do it. The same applies to the checkboxes in Thesis Theme.

This looks broken to me. There is a wide space around the checkbox, which does not make sense to me. But…I am not a CSS person, so I did not get that fixed. Thanks to the Thesis Theme Support Forum (actually thanks to ThesisLab.net) I was able to fix that problem with just two lines of CSS code.

.custom .format_text input, #commentform input, #commentform textarea {
width:auto;
}

Zack! Done! Switched around text and labels…now it looks beautiful!

Sometimes you do not want to show any teasers inyour specific Thesis Theme. But how to turn them of and show – let say only 3 fully featured posts on the homep page of your blog? Well that is actually pretty easy. The first thing you need to do is to go into Thesis Theme options and click on “Home Page Display”. Select the number of featured post you want to show on home (for example 3).

Then go to the general settings in your WordPress blog and select “Reading Settings”. Here you can enter the amout of Blog posts you want to show on you …you guessed it…Home Page!

Make that also 3 posts. This way you have your general WordPress settings and you Thesis Theme WordPress setting “in sync”.

Happy Blogging!
