 * Hey Guys,
 * I suddenly get this error message after trying out different new themes:
 * > Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /mnt/webj/e0/29/
   > 52645329/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-content/themes/origin/library/functions/shortcodes.
   > php on line 218
 * I already reinstalled my WordPress-Installation from the Dashboard – did not 
   help.

 * Is this the elegantthemes or the free theme found here in the directory?
 * If it is the eleganttheme you should ask their support.

 * Indeed, I did ask the support. The error message was connected to the plugin:
   QTranslate.
 * I had to change the date setting in the plugin to the last option (‘using strftime
   and replacing formats’).
 * Thank you anyways
