Maybe this only happens in 2.7, but I got an error using this theme to begin with. The error I got was on the blog and it said...
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference and then the url to the functions.php with line 412 referenced.
I fixed it by replacing the code starting on line 408 that looks like this...
// comment count
add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comment_count', 0);
function comment_count($count) {
global $id;
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments(get_comments('post_id=' . $id));
return count($comments_by_type['comment']);
}
With...
// comment count
add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comment_count', 0);
function comment_count( $commentcount ) {
global $id;
$_commnets = get_comments('post_id=' . $id);
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($_commnets);
return count($comments_by_type['comment']);
}
I pulled this code from one of the programmers other themes.
