The header image is actually a background on div.splash , you can find the relevant html in header.php file and find the word ‘splash’.

To make it a link, you can try:
- add a div inside the div.splash, that div must have the height and width of the header image, then wrap that div with anchor tag
- or remove the background image, then add an img tag for the header image, then wrap it with anchor tag

Hi Robin,
If you’re not familiar with CSS, it’s probably easier if you modify the theme files directly.

1. In header.php file, remove the following lines:

”>

2. I suspect it could be one of the widgets/plugins that you use. Perhaps you can try disabling them, check if the problem disappears, then reenable them one by one to find out which one is the culprit.

Thanks for using the theme :).

Thank you for the Emptiness.I like this theme.But I know nothing about css…Could you please help me out?
-How can I get rid of the Heading fonts on the top-the blog’s title?Since I want to add the fonts on my header image.
-I dunno why the link to the header image is wrong.(it’s doubled “www.robinwang.co.uk”)Where can I correct it?

Hi Deborah,

The custom header image should still be there upon updating the theme version.

However, it’s always a good practice to back up your custom header image somewhere :).

HTH.

I have used the Emptiness theme a few times with good results. It’s quite customizable, though I have moved onto Thesis for heavy customization. :)

Oh dear. I get what to do with the css code, but where does it come from?

Not very good with all the new technologies!

I never knew of myCSS…thanks!

I used to customize the themes myself, but I found it was a pain to re-customize it after a theme update.

Going to test out myCSS

Hi rin, sorry I just noticed this comment of yours answering my query on the theme’s wiki page.

Do you happen to use some caching plugin? Perhaps you can try this http://wordpress.org/support/topic/292882

hi, i’m the same as appleftw on your project site also, by the way.

Warning: file(/usr/local/ndn/web/oneclicks/wordpress/wp-content/themes/emptiness/style.css) function.file?: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/ndn/web/oneclicks/wordpress/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

Warning: implode() function.implode?: Invalid arguments passed in /usr/local/ndn/web/oneclicks/wordpress/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

yes that’s the full error code.

i installed the theme through wordpress’ buttons.
theme > add new themes > upload > the i upload the .zip file of your theme here > install now

then that’s where the error code comes in.

and i did check my wp-content folder and i do see the style.css file is included. so, very very clueless. thank you for replying back :’D

That’s a weird error about line 108 in the stylesheet. Can you copy paste the exact error message? Perhaps something else caused the problem.

:c why is it not installing for my blog site, it keeps saying some error of missing line 108 in style.css

Re the feed title. I just double checked, the atom feed should have the blog title. I’m not sure how you got untitled instead. What reader are you using?
