ejm

Sorry, don’t know the answer to your question, Groove. The date is showing correctly in my blog….

I have just upgraded to 1.5 in the hopes that the daylight saving aspect would be resolved. Alas, no. But googling, I found that this brilliant person has created a plugin to display daylight saving time!

http://kimmo.suominen.com/2005/02/13/timezone/

Note that this is not on the wp plugin page, but it works very well in 1.5….

Note that the timezone plugin must go into the plugin folder and be activated first before it can be configured from the plugins page:

wp-content/plugins/timezone.php

Root; would you like me to remove any mention of gemini on my stylesheet? I haven’t examined the gemini stylesheet to see how much of it is still retained on what I have now….

I stand corrected moshu. I did not at all understand how that template worked, nor did I understand why I had to have the gemini folder in 1.2.2. I just put it there when I installed the pollux theme. When I moved the pollux stylesheet over, I left the template descriptive there thinking that it was a credit to the original author of the stylesheet template… I guess I added the “gemini” part to it.

I’ve now moved the gemini/pollux credit down into the notes below the version number

Root, thank you for reiterating moshu’s explanation.

I too have been trying to create a new theme entitled “ejm”. I believe I have followed the instructions at

http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrade_1.2_to_1.5

In the ejm file, there is an image, comments.php, index.php (that is a direct copy of the index in my new default folder) and style.css

index.php has been updated to replace <code><?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css and <code><?php include(ABSPATH . 'wp-comments.php'); ?> with
<code><?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> and
<code><?php comments_template(); ?>

at the top of style.css, I have added the required top section (for this forum, I have changed the URLs)

/*
Theme Name: ejm
Theme URI: http://myblog/
Description: (this theme was a heavily modified version of pollux)
Version: 0.1
Author: ejm
Author URI: http://mydomain/
Template: Pollux that was based on gemini
.
The images (which must not be altered in any way) used in this theme are strictly for non-commercial use only.
.
*/

The theme files are in wordpress/wp-content/themes/ejm

This is the message that is in my admin file:
ejm Template is missing.

What file(s) have I missed uploading?

There seems to be something awry with the zip file. I wonder if someone could check to make sure that it is really zipped correctly. I don’t normally have any problem opening zip files. The message “It does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading again.” I have downloaded it about 5 times, always with the same result.

I took a look at http://www.winzip.com/downprob.htm

As far as I know, my connection is fine. Is it at all possible that the zip file has been moved??

Happily, I finally figured out how to open the tar zip. I have done the upgrade and now have to figure out how to get my pollux theme back. Onward and upward.

thanks macmanx;

To reiterate then,

the following is not in my index file.
@import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css );"

The most similar thing is:

@import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/pollux/style.css );

The above is what I should be replacing with

@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );

Yes?

Unfortunately, I cannot follow any of the rest of the instructions. I have tried three times now to download the zip of 1.5 from http://wordpress.org/download/

Each time when I try to unzip the file, I get a message saying

“cannot open file; it does not appear to be a valid archive”

Please advise.

Excuse me for replying to myself. I went into mIRC to try to find out about this. It was suggested that I do a bug report. I dutifully checked to see if there was already a report, I find that this bug has allegedly been resolved in 1.3 (or is it 1.5?)

Too bad there appears to be no patch for earlier wp versions.

What does “remark the line” mean? I went to asif’s site but comments are closed and I cannot locate an email address to find out how asif got rid of ‘038;’ (the ampersand character) in WordPress.

edit: I’m guessing that “remark the line” means to “comment out the line”. I tried that in wp-includes/functions-formatting.php


// $content = preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&$1', $content);

But that had no effect at all on ampersands. They are still being replaced and appearing as &
