Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Photog] [Theme: Photog] Updated version (2011)Hi Daedalon, I’m the theme author. My old theme site DewDrop Webs was taken down after I had other issues come up and couldn’t put in the time to keep my themes updated. Now I have some time again, and just uploaded a plugin last week. I came to check on that and saw all my old themes, and was about to delete them.
They are very outdated of course, as the WordPress codex has changed significantly since they were written. They would have to be completely redone, and I think the designs are too old to make that worthwhile. Also, the demands for getting a theme approved now are much higher and I don’t know if I want to get back into that.
Plugins seem a lot less demanding. I did make a new theme but haven’t uploaded it because of my themes never seeming to be very popular. You can see a prototype of it at http://www.fether.net and http://news.fether.net, though the style now is neither of those.

In reply to: Cannot change support forum email?Weird! I decided to try the link on this page to my profile, and there’s the whole form with email. Why couldn’t I see that before I posted this?

In reply to: Simplastic themeHi KajMagnus, thanks. 🙂
Yeah, that will depend on what people prefer and I tried to reach a compromise between super-wide and small low-res monitors.

In reply to: Simplastic themeStandard GPL, esmi.
Also, I just added separate styling for mobile devices.

In reply to: Simplastic themeAlrighty, premiumwp… I’ve revamped it to be ultra-flexible, which necessitated moving a few things around, and I dispensed with the alternate color options for now. Even got some Google fonts. Is this a step in the right direction, do you think?

In reply to: Simplastic themeThanks for those, I’ll check them out.

In reply to: Simplastic themePS: Found a good article that has some especially helpful advice under the picture of the dandelion:
http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/smashing-special-wordpress-theme-trends-for-2012-design/For non-WP sites I have in fact made them so they present a completely different theme for mobile devices, without resorting to a subdomain such as mobile.mysite.com. The challenge would be to make that happen in WP.
Challenge accepted. ;-D

In reply to: Simplastic themeThanks again. Per smartphones, I don’t think there are many designs that shrink that far; they almost always use a separate theme. The wpTouch plugin is free and does a great job for that, but of course I’m not running any plugins to demo the site.
Not sure what “styled” type would be; I chose to use ordinary, generic fonts as part of the simplicity, but if it doesn’t violate any WP rules I could try the Google fonts I suppose. I don’t think twentyeleven or a lot of the popular themes use them, but I’d have to check on that. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

In reply to: Simplastic themeThanks, premiumwp. But can you be more specific?
— What makes it ‘dated’? I indeed didn’t want it to look like every other theme out there, but neither did I use heavy graphical backgrounds for example.
— What size breaks it? I shrunk the window down pretty far and also tried it on a low-rez monitor running an old version of Windows, and it still held together.I’m having the same problem on a new .org site. I’ve run Jetpack with no problem on other subdomains of mine, on the same host. The only difference I can see is that the subdomain name contains a number:
http://keep2thecode.fether.netDo I need to escape the 2 or something?
ADDED: Never mind, it resolved on its own. The subdomain apparently took longer than usual to register. 🙂

In reply to: comments closed but shouldn't beUpdate: It seems that the setting to automatically close comments was somehow set to only 30 days. Don’t know if that happened during an upgrade or anything, but at least it seems okay now. I will try and remember to check that after the next upgrade, just in case.
Ya know, there have been times when what one code editor I have calls “gremlins” get into a file. You can’t see them even when you select “show invisibles”. But if you re-type your code into a new file, changing nothing, suddenly the thing works (of course, only after you’ve wasted days trying to find the bug). Just something to try if you run out of ideas.
Found it!
There is a file called content-page.php which has the line
<?php the_content(); ?>
I had replaced it with
<?php
$content = get_the_content();
remove_filter($content, ‘wpautop’);
echo $content;
?>
I don’t remember exactly why I had changed that, but I’m probably about to find out. 🙂Update: I viewed my site on my smart phone using wpTouch. If I use the mobile theme I see the calendar, but if I switch to regular view it’s gone. So it has to be my customized 2011 theme, though a line-by-line search of both the header and index files doesn’t reveal anything. I tried removing the javascript lines but it made no difference. I also tried disabling all other plugins. There’s just no page content for that one page (has everything else, including header, sidebar, and footer).
o.0
Same problem. It worked for a while (using customized 2011 theme), but suddenly stopped. All other pages work fine, so there must be something unique about this plugin that no other plugin or page has, which conflicts with something else. I’m even running a javascript photo slider plugin in the header. The calendar works in the sidebar, showing events, and it seems fine in the admin area.
