New York – Free Wordpress Theme Release
I am once more so excited to release our new theme ‘New York’ the main excitement reason is that i am giving away something to Wordpress community which usually people sell. I believe New York is good enough that anybody with personal blog or any kind of blog (it depends on liking) will be willing to use it. New York comes with a lot of stuff, full features are listed below but you need to see Live Demo in order to feel it. Grungy/Urban/Transparent/Elegant everything is here with a lot of practical features

Installation:
- Extract the new-york.zip file in a convenient location

- Log in to the WordPress Administration Dashboard
- Select the ‘Themes’ sub-menu from ‘Appearance’ tab
- Select the New York theme from the available list of themes to preview
- Activate the theme.
Where are Admin Theme Options??
- After Activating New York theme
- Look for ‘New York Options’ tab in sidebar menu
How ‘Featured’ post works?
- Creat a new category named ‘Featured Articles’
- Upload/attach any image to the post (more than 300px wide recommended)
- While publishing post select ‘Featured Articles’ category along with others.
- You are done. First Attachment image from the post will be used as thumbnail.
For people having problems with Featured post thumbnail:
- Download this file, rename it to ‘header.php and replace it with the original header.php in New York theme directory.
- While writing a post upload an image and copy Image Url.
- Now add a custom key with name: thumbnail and value: image url
- Make sure ‘cache’ folder found in theme directory is CHMOD 777 on your server.
- Still having problems? Its probably your server does not support GD Library. Which is so rare IMO.

Besides the pretty picture in the center panel of the header between the social media links and the about me box?
can it be customized to to put a small video or a slide show in it? if so … where do you go to make those changes.
So I was able to figure out how to get something in the featured article box … but I would prefer to use this box to play a quicktime video instead …. any suggestions how I can either make videos featured or that I can use this area to manually imbed video clips
I want to know if is possible to and how please
Thanks

FYI……after hours of frustration over the featured Articles box in the header I figured it out. Your category slug has to be Featured Articles as well. You can't use a short slug name.

Great theme! I am using it for my new blog….
Quick question, how do I shorten the width of the sidebar? It's much too wide for the setup of my blog.

Hey,
First of all great theme!
Only problem is that I can't get the feedburner to work.
I've filled in the correct details on the admin page and enabled the
email function on feedburner itself.
But then when I fill in my mail in the subscription box, it gives me
a feedburner window saying "The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled".
How can I fix this ? It is enabled, and feedburner receives my posts correctly.
thanks for the theme love it but like most people i am having problems with the featured articles. tried every method but still have problems. the name of the post shows but no image…changed the chmod to 777 on the cache folder. tried uploading new header php….
url is tigerstyle.fatcattattoos.com…any help would be appreciated

Hey! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this theme!
The only trouble is I can't seem to add pages to the header to navigate from there.
Can anyone help? I'm not too familiar with html and computer talk!!!!! argh!!!!!!
Thank you xxxxxxx
I have the same problem :/ For me it only show 4 pages in the header :S I want it to puto more than this :/ How can we do it ?? Thanks a lot. We hope a good help for you
Altough, I'm loving this theme
If ou want to more pages show in your header follow this:
First go to header.php and then find " <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&number=8'); ?> "
Here Change the "number" to the number of pages you want to appear. In my case i want 8 pages appearing in my blog.
