Talian 1.0 WordPress Language Translation Widget Code Fix
Code Fix for those using the original Talian WordPress theme and want the Language Translation images (top of left menu) to be within the green box (like other sections). The problem is a <ul> tag is missing, but if you add one it breaks the code validation.
Talian code fix below-
Edit left_sidebar.php
Find
<h3>Translators</h3>
Directly below add
<p>
Find the next </ul> and change to </p>
Save file.
Edit style.css
find-
.sidebar-box ul {
change to-
.sidebar-box ul, .sidebar-box p {
Save and upload both files.
Should now work like you see for my Talian with AdSense and SEO version of this great WordPress theme.

Talian WordPress Theme RSS Links Widget
Hi David,
Thanks for creating such a great theme!
I uploaded Talian on our server and it looks great:
I just a have a few minor problems:
Is it possible to change the RSS feeds titles from blue to white (i.e. Hauula News).
Is there a way to change the Comment icon and reduce the amount of space between articles on the home page?
Is there a way to change the word “Blogroll” to “Links”?
Thanks again!
Aloha from Hawaii,
Christian

Update to the Talian 5 WordPress SEO Theme
The Talian theme used on your site is the original Talian theme (not available from this site). The version I sell includes significant code modifications for WordPress SEO reasons and includes AdSense ad units.
If you look on one of your content pages you’ll see two blocks just above the comments box that says-
“The webpage cannot be found”
These are the AdSense ad units the original Talian designer added, they aren’t working because you haven’t gone into the code and added your AdSense publisher ID.
My version has a single file you edit (adsense.php) to include your AdSense publisher code so all ad units on all pages use your ID (much easier to do, one copy and paste and your done).
With regards your questions, all of those things are possible, but some are significant code changes. For example the Blogroll to Link change involves adding an alternative blogroll code because the original Talian theme uses the default WordPress Blogroll code which doesn’t allow you to just change the title of the header (it uses a default header code that’s stored in the main WordPress CMS coding).
I had to change this code on my version because I wanted to remove the H2 header created by the default code. So yes it’s possible to do this through the theme, but you have to make big code changes and it;s beyond the scope of this comments form to explain it (check out the WordPress codex for code or look at other themes until you find one with the right code).
Most of the other changes are probably doable through CSS changes.

Update to the Talian 5 WordPress SEO Theme
Developing AdSense Ready WordPress Themes
Hi Christian.
The Talian theme your using on the site you linked isn’t the AdSense Ready WordPress Themes from this site. You’ve got the original Talian that I used to create my AdSense/SEO version from.
The answers to your questions is yes to them all, just a matter of knowing what your doing.
Easiest one is load the sidebar.php file find the word Blogroll and change to Links.
That should do it. That is unless they’ve used the default code then you might have to use the sort of code I use (allows changes). I forget what the original theme formatting was like (made BIG changes and it’s been a while).
Rest would require me looking at the code of the original theme which I don’t offer support for.
Good luck.

Talian AdSense Theme Update
Have fixed the em problem. The CSS code used to style em was not needed and it removed the default italic look of em so completely deleted that part of the css code.
While I was in the main css file cleaned up some more code (removed the css code for calendars to an alternative file).
Have SEO’d and added AdSense to the sitemap.php template file. Sitemaps are not really needed with these themes, but if someone wants it….
As you may have also noticed this site now uses rounded corners with it’s AdSense ads. Google AdSense recently added this feature and I’ve added it to the Talian theme (will be doing the same to all AdSense/SEO themes).
Just need to double check my work and then will send out an update to all Talian customers (hopefully within the hour of posting this).

Talian Theme
Hi,
I have a previous version on this great template.
Doesn’t seem to work in WP2.7, it’s fine in 2.3
Could be I haven’t installed it properly?
Free Premium Wordpress Talian Theme
Hi Paul
Your using the original Talian theme that I also used to create the Talian with AdSense/SEO theme I sell from this page.
When I create a WordPress AdSense/SEO theme I make a LOT of changes to the html code from the theme I’m basing it on.
So though the theme you are using looks similar to the one sold here, it’s not the same code, so I have no idea what does/does not work in WordPress 2.7 regarding the original Talian theme (I’ve never used the original Talian theme on a site).
All I can tell you is my version of Talian with AdSense/SEO works perfectly well in WordPress 2.7 and if it breaks in WordPress 2.8 or whatever I’ll fix it ASAP and send a free update to all past customers.
I really hate how the original Talian theme translation images don’t fit within the bamboo colour block on the left menu (fixed in my theme).
Good look fixing the theme.

How to Add WordPress Navigation Menu Links
Hi MJ,
I don’t do custom work for free and my current SEO charges are £75 an hour.
Fortunately what you want doesn’t require code work, create a pages (not posts) called
About
Contact Us
And they will be added like the WordPress SEO Plugins button you see on this page.
You can’t add a Home link this way since you can’t add a Home page that links to home. For this you’d need a small amount of code work, though there’s a Home link at the top of the header (name of the site) and a link at the very bottom within the footer so not needed.
If you want to add a Home link still load header.php into a text editor (Notepad for example)
Find
class=”navigators”
And below it is the code that needs editing.
Add below the <ul> tag this code replacing domain.com with your URL-
To give-
Rest of header code below.
Save upload and you’ll have a Home link on the left of the other links.

AdSense Ready WordPress Themes
Doh! Missed the AdSense question.
Since the theme is called Talian with Targeted AdSense and SEO yes it’s AdSense ready :-)
All you have to do is load a file called AdSense.php into a text editor and replace my AdSense publisher code with yours. Save the file and upload with the other files.
That’s it, you blog will look almost identical to this site in look/AdSense etc… The only difference will be out the box the theme uses the standard sidebar menu items (all of them), I strongly advise you log into the widget section of your dashboard and build your own menu based on what you want as menu items. For example I never show the monthly archive on any of my sites for SEO reasons.
If you don’t use the newish tag feature for example you’ll not want the tag menu item, if you never add pages to your blog you’ll not need that. Don’t want a AdSense ad unit on the menu, don’t add it as a menu widget, hate the translation links, don’t add them…
With widgets you get to build your menu (two menus, left and right for the Talian theme) the way you want it.
Be aware I go into hospital for a operation on my back early tomorrow morning (26th Feb) and expect two to three days stay in hospital. So if you want a theme ASAP you need to order in the next 7hrs to guarantee delivery before I go into hospital. Home page has this sort of information as well, when I get back I’ll delete the hospital information.

WordPress Navigation Menu Problem
Hello again!
Overall my theme is still working fine but I’ve found a problem with the number of pages I’ve added. They are ‘stacking’, a second line of page tabs below the original ones. Not a problem in itself but cursor action over the 2nd line needs help. You have to almost move the cursor to the top line before you can click on a tab in the second line. Give it a try:
Not being a coder is there a fix you know of?
Thanks

WordPress Navigation Menu Problem
WordPress Navigation Menu Links Code Fix
Aid Renegade,
The page issue is a problem with many themes, I think the general idea of WordPress as a blogging platform is to create a small number of the static Pages and the rest are blog posts, so as themes are created the Page issue with header navigation bars are over looked. Not a problem with themes that lack the header navigation menu.
Two solutions, don’t add more than a few pages :)
Or add a little code to your header to limit the number of pages shown on the navigation bar.
The latter is achieved as follows.
Load your header.php file in a text editor or the WordPress theme editor.
find
and change to
The include part of this determines which pages to show.
So if you just had
It would only list the 1st page created which is the About page I think.
To create your list you need to either go into your Dashboard and under Pages/Edit on the menu hover over the Title of a Page you want listed and read it’s post number, my sitemap for example is post=17 and looks like this when hovered over-
So it’s the number 17 I was looking for.
Take these numbers and plug them into your include list, save and upload.
So if I wanted the About page (1) and the Sitemap (17) for this site only it would look like this-
Save your header.php file and upload if you worked offline.
Should then only show the Pages you determine.
To list the rest of the pages you’ll need to use the sidebar menu called Pages, (yours is already on your menu) which is already listed if you don’t use widgets, if you use Widgets you’ll need to add it if you haven’t already done so.
I’d like to add this to the theme, but it’s one of those fiddly code things a lot of users aren’t comfortable with. Best I could do is include the depth=1 code which means sub-pages aren’t displayed on the header navigation menu.
