Awesome, glad it all worked out. Happy holidays to you as well.

Yep, it’s broken 😀

Seems they are using some kind of script to generate the zip file, and it’s including the path in the file names, so instead of style.css, it’s kitchen_chefs_cooking_bue034\style.css. ALL of the files that’s happening to, so none of them will work. That said, you should be able to manually remove the kitchen_chefs_cooking_bue034\ portion of each file and theoretically the theme should work.

I haven’t experienced any issues in my brief testing of 2.9 and the tags panel on writing/editing posts. Do you possibly have a plugin that modifies the write post page or does anything with tags?

As the saying goes, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, what I’ve done in the past for the category.php template is:

<?php
	$myposts = 'orderby=title&order=ASC&cat=' . $cat;
	query_posts($myposts)
?>

prior to calling the loop. The cat=’ .$cat’ was necessary as I found that without that, it would call all posts, not just those that were supposed to be in the category for that page, ie, if you clicked a link for a page of posts in “foo” category, it would show posts in ALL categories, not just for “foo”.

If it were me, I’d also create a category specific template for “shows”, rather than using the conditional tag, simply because I find it easier, and allows for even more specific structure and styling.

Looking at the FAQ for the theme
, you need to create a category “Featured”, and add that category in addition to any categorization for any post you want to have in that section. There’s some additional information on that page regarding images and sizes for the featured section as well.

I thought 2.8.x had basic support for custom content types? 2.9 has extended that quite a bit, with more on the drawing board for 3.0 (according to the blog post on the 2.9 release)

You could wrap the menu code in a Conditional Tag in your header template to exclude it on the homepage.

Something to the effect of

<?php if (!is_front_page) {
  // nav code
 } ?>
