    lol. Wrong, the video on my new post is being hidden.. sweat.. I really dun know how to fix this. help.

  2. Zac says:

    ok. Just ignore all my previous message. Admin, please delete all my previous replies please. Sorry for spamming.

    here is the solution for the problem which all the video that embed on a new post appear outside the minipost box on home page:

    1) go to dashboard > layout > edit html.
    2) press ctrl + f to bring up the search box.
    3) type in “.meta{” in the search box. Then click Next button that beside the search box.

    4) Once you search the word “.meta” on the edit html page, paste the following code above the word “.meta”:

    .hentry object{
    display:none;
    }

    That’s all, I do this on blogspot, it work perfect. I don’t know how is the setting in Wordpress, sorry.

    I have 1 question: can display:none remove the video loading time? Or the page still take time to load the video while the video is hidden ?

  4. Troy says:

    I have been getting emails about people having trouble with the comments feature on this template. Do i need to change some code to activate it or anything, apparently the ads are affecting it for some people. Also when I post an entry with a video it doesn’t hide the video on my homepage it posts that as well so I have overlapping videos on my homepage. Finally in the four boxes down the side how do I get each entry onto a new line currently they are just sitting one after another ie News. News instead of News
    News

    Other than that I really like the template, thanks
