In reply to: Incomplete 381 install, can't get the dashboard workingI ended up wiping the DB and HTML & rebuilding the site from scratch, thanks for nothing 😉
I suspect the underlying problem was conflicts with the theme and at least one plugin after the update, but we shall never know.

In reply to: How to block access to my child-theme directory?It could be server configuration, could be htaccess, could be a default document… hard to say without seeing your directory structure, but there are lots of different ways to achieve it.

In reply to: New template on back of another?If you edit the theme directly, when the publisher comes out with a new version & you update it, it will overwrite your changes.

In reply to: Getting weird error, can't access dashboardYou could reinstall it from a backup and just make a mental note not to update it any more.

In reply to: New template on back of another?Worth noting you should definitely create a child theme so that when your template updates you don’t lose all your changes.

In reply to: How to block access to my child-theme directory?or you can put an index.html page there that redirects back to your homepage if you’re not comfortable with htaccess for some reason.

In reply to: [Origin] template is missing?@ Andrew Nevins – we’re all having the same issue, apparently. Doesn’t it make sense to keep all reports of the same bug in one thread?

In reply to: [Origin] template is missing?Must be my server, eh? I wonder why none of the other upgrades have been an issue, then. “It works on my system” is a classic excuse. If you’re not interested in receiving bug reports, just say so.

In reply to: [Origin] template is missing?The current version of WP is 3.5.1, which is what I’m running.

In reply to: [Origin] template is missing?I just wiped the directory and tried to reinstall – got this error:
Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/origin.0.5.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file.
Theme install failed.
Looks like the install package has issues, to say the least.
I did a manual install and while that did actually work, it killed all my widget preferences. The developers really should have checked this package more thoroughly before doing a public release. FWIW I’m using Chrome 24.0.1312.57, OSX 10.7.5 . Maybe they didn’t test it on a Mac?

In reply to: Main column on posts page too narrow on iPod/iPhoneOK, it was a bit of a search but I figured it out more or less – it’s an intentional “feature” of flexible layout., it’s just that the flexible layout was poorly implemented so it looks totally f’ed on ipods and ipads.
I’m working on modifying the conditional displays so they render correctly, but in the meantime, if you just want to get rid of it altogether comment out this line in the child version of header.php:
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width” />
That’s all it takes.

In reply to: Main column on posts page too narrow on iPod/iPhoneI’m having a similar issue, but have no video – very perplexing. I’m new to WP so I may just have something set up strangely….
