   Question by dave hill

   Thanks for the info, Michael. We tend to like 3-column format for homepage, so that is why Jazz appeals to us. The wide – narrow features glider, we could probably live without. ON the Jazz theme, can we add the YouTube widget you have on Prosper and also have a 300×250 banner spot at the top of the sidebar?

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     The banner ad would be no problem, however, the Youtube Widget is not build into WP-Jazz. Just WP-Prosper. It could be added to theme but would require a bit of code wrangling.

   Question by dave hill

   You guys rock as we already are using the wp-magazine layout for our site and are thinking of buying Jazz theme. We assume we can drop in a new logo for the site we are contemplating, using this theme. Also, we notice some of your new themes have really easy to use tweaks when changing colors, format, wide or narrow feature images, etc. This is well advanced from the magazine theme of yours.

   Would Jazz be a comparable magazine-style theme or is there another one you recommend for us?

   Thanks!

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     Hi Dave. Thanks for the kind words. Yes, you can drop in your logo via the theme settings page on WP-Jazz. You can also tweak various colors via the theme settings page.

     However, if you’re looking for something a bit more advanced as far as the featured content slider, Jazz probably isn’t it. It provides the basic slider like you see on the demo site. If you want more slide mojo, maybe try out WP-Prosper, which offer a wide slider or narrow slider.

     Hope that helps.

   Question by Vern

   I have seen a few times where you say that the featured articles can be made to rotate automatically. Is that something you will do for free or is there a charge for this?

   I am ready to buy this now, just the rotating featured articles are important.

   Thanks!

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     Hi Vern. Actually, this is something you can do yourself. We provide simple written instructions on how to do it. Its really quite simple.

   Question by Scapulla

   Dear MIchael,
   Is it possible in this theme to dyplay categories and sub categories in a herachial way, I’m talking about the category list in the sidebar.

   Thank you

   • 

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     Yes, it’s built into the theme.

   Question by Scapulla

   HI,
   Would like to buy but have a question first:

   Is it possible to list the categories in a different way? when click a category it expands a list of it’s sub-categories. Right now all categories and sub-categories show in the same column.

   Thank you

   • 

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     The way the theme is designed, all main categories show in the category nav bar, and sub-categories appear in a drop-down from their parent category.

   Question by Drew

   Hello,

   I previously bought the Jazz theme and I freaking love it! I’m seriously considering upgrading to the Developer license but am wondering what the details are? Can I change the back-end of the admin for instance to make it look like my theme?

   What’s the differences between this and multiple license?

   Thanks so much!

   • 

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     Thanks for the kind words Drew. The Developer license allows you to use the theme on multiple sites. It also allows you to use the theme as a foundation to develop sites for others. You can change whatever you like with the theme. The only limitation is you can’t redistribute the theme or derivative works based on the theme.

   Question by Arthur Lau

   Hello Michael

   I have the above website and is not activated yet. I would be purchasing this WP-Jazz later as it fits into what i wanted. I am quite new to blogging and have to depend on my son for guidance.

   Just a few questions:

   1) for the Ad Box there are 4 currently. If there are more can it be added on?

   2) Can i put the widgets like Fb, Delicious, Stumble and others onto the website?

   3)I understand from the question and answer that the featured articles can be rotated automatically. Would it involve a lot of ‘programming’ work.

   4) Can i put the box on “followers” on the website, ie, those followers who signed up and their gravatas appear.

   Thank you

     Answer by Michael Pollock

     Hi Arthur.

     You can place as many ads in the sidebars as you like via sidebar widgets.

     Likewise, you can place any other widgets in the sidebars, including FB, delicious or stumbleupon.

     To make the featured articles rotate automatically would not require a lot of programming. Pretty simple really.

     Not clear on what you mean in #4. Which followers are you referring to?

    Question by Drew Stogsdill

    Hello,

    I’m thinking of Purchasing the Jazz theme. We have max-banner-ads Pro and would like to know if the ads are either compatible to that or have some sort of way to monitor the click through, impressions, etc.

    The thing is, we want to be in control of our own ads (not Google adwords), and one of the main reasons I like this layout is because if the great use of ad space.

    Thanks in advance.

      Answer by Michael Pollock

      Hi Drew. I’m afraid I can’t really answer you question as I’m not familiar with the plugin/script you mentioned. My best advice would be to give the theme a try. If you have trouble and it’s something we can’t help you work out in the support forum, we’ll provide a refund.

    Question by Stephen

    Can I change the font from the aqua to a yellow to match my logo which I want to put in the header?

    Thanks

      Answer by Michael Pollock

      Hi Stephen. Yes, that’s something that can be done.

    Question by Stephen

    With this theme can I use a non feedburner feed with the RSS? I use podpress for a podcast hosted on my current site. Is this compatible with this theme?

    Thanks!

    • 

      Answer by Michael Pollock

      Yes, you can. The feed is actually a built-in function of wordpress rather than being related to any specific theme.

    Question by Ciso

    Sorry to bother you again.
    1- Is it there a way to show avatars in the recent comment widget?
    2- Is it possibile to insert widget in the footer (like I see in other themes of yours)?
    3- Is it possibile to show the home page with “category-boxes” (like the MediaMag theme for example)?
    Thank you

    • 

      Answer by Michael Pollock

      Hi Ciso. No, none of those features are built into WP-Jazz.
