• Hi, this theme uses a pre WP 2.7 comments.php with lots of deprecated functions. I tried copying a new comments.php but failed.
    my website is http://hussam.eu.org
    Anyone has done any work on upgrading this theme to new standards?

    If not, any suggestions for a similar theme? fixed width, light colors, etc..

    Thank you.

    I think you are using a buggy theme on your website. This is the single reason you are getting such a long list of errors. Try another theme or default theme on this domain and check whether you are also getting the same error or not if not then it is sure your theme has some bugs.

    Andreas-00 is not a buggy theme, just a very old one. In the last couple of years, a lot of changes have happened in themes, leading to many improvements.

    It is probably not worth your time to try to fix an older theme, but instead to check out some of the most recent themes approved for the directory. Anything in the last year or two will be exceptionally better and more capable than a theme designed for WordPress 2.7. You’ll very likely be able to find a free theme which is more customizable and easier to work with.

    Thank you. I have been trying to find a new theme. I want something with grey and white colors, fixed width so I can add a custom banner and obviously a custom header. This seems to be limiting my choices 😉

    I have been looking for themes but really cannot find what I need in new themes.
    Any suggestions for a 3 column theme with light colors, not too wide, and static width, and where I can add a banner?
    I have been searching on wordpress.org but can’t find anything to match all those criterias 🙁

    Selecting “fixed-layout”, “three-columns”, and “custom-header” on this page gives 53 results. Pretty much all of those will work for you.

    As for “colors”, almost all of those have customizable backgrounds and so the color of the screenshot isn’t the main thing you should be looking at. Look at the layout and style instead. Pick your own background image or colors.
