[resolved] [Plugin: DMSGuestbook] Incompatible with Thematic theme? (4 posts)

    Hi,

    I'm trying to set this up with the Thematic theme (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/thematic) and it doesn't put the form in the correct position, it is always at the very top left of the page, outside the content area. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? It works fine with all the other themes I have tried.

    Thanks

    Hi smegleg

    The problem is the the_excerpt_rss() function in your theme. Your page doesn't like unformatted html tags in meta description and DMSGuestbook has a lot of these.

    Search the line 17 in header.php file on your thematic theme and remove
    <meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>" />
    with this one:
    <meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />

    Greetings,
    Dani

    AM having the exact same problem with the Ashford theme here http://ashford.turtleinteractive.com/
    But looking through the header.php I can't see any refernce to _excerpt_rss() function

    here's the header.php

    Any help would be much appreciated!
