    I'm setting up the theme but I'm having issues getting it to look similar to the demo version of the theme. First, how do I enable the big, magazine style pictures for category posts that in the demo surround the home tabs? In the theme options I select classic blog layout and that makes the home tabs disappear, but when I select magazine layout the big pictures for the stories disappear and I only have the home tabs Second, the sliders aren't sizing the images right. Sometimes the text box that's suppose to lay ontop of the image is below and there's a white space between them while images that are 600x450 seem to work fine just like the demo. Can anyone help to set up everything similar to the demo?

    I also can't get any widgets to show up. I go to my widgets page and it displays a list of widgets but doesn't show anything I can drag and drop them to and it won't let me drag them to it. Here's a pic.

     

    If it means anything, I'm using Theme Testdrive plugin to make changes in PowerMAG before I fully switch over to it and activate it as a main theme for everyoen to see

    Hi there, I'll try to order up your questions:

    1. You should drag widgets which name starts with "HP" into the three home sidebars (Big, medium, small), if you can't see the sidebars there must be something wrong going on, please try to disable all plugins as first troubleshooting.

    2. When using the same live demo setup, uploaded images should be at least 470x358 px. If you're already using bigger images use the Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to set them up for the theme.

    I don't know how does the TestDrive plugin exactly works, but it might be responsible for issue no.1 (?)

    Okay, I think the TestDrive Theme plugin may be the reason I'm not seeing anything in the widget section. Hopefully this problem goes away when I finally activate the new theme. thnks and i'll post back here if it doesn't work.
