Another update to my WordPress theme, Upstart Blogger Minim.
After several users reported problems with IE, I went through the files and found a number of missing and misplaced tags. Safari, it seems, is much more forgiving about this than IE, so I didn’t notice. (I’m not as rigorous in my testing of IE because I’m on a Mac and run Windows in VirtualPC, which as anyone familiar with it knows, is painfully slow to use). I also did a little miscellaneous cleaning (e.g., removing some extra lines at the bottom of files, which may cause some feed problems).
If you have an earlier version installed and you’ve thoroughly tested all of your pages after making any modifications you’ve made, you’re probably all right. If you’re having problems but don’t want to overwrite your existing changes, just check the opening tags and the bottom of each *.php file and see if there are changes (e.g., such as moving or adding a closing div tag).
My apologies for these niggling problems. I’ll try to test more in IE in the future. Thanks!
i went through the code of 0.4 and completely prepped the theme for easy localization in different languages. If you’re interested in merging my code feel free to drop me a line…
Thanks very much, Ralph. I’m interested, though it probably won’t happen soon. I’ll email you directly. Thanks again for your help.
Hi,
i´ve got a problem with this template: The entries get cut off when they become too long. Perhaps you can tell me, where to change this?
Thank you very much, I fell in love this template!
Malte, the template displays excerpts on the main page. You can change this by opening index.php and changing this line:
< ?php the_excerpt(); ?>to this:
< ?php the_content(); ?>Let me know if that isn’t what you wanted.
Best theme I have come across in a long long time.
Can I shift the sidebar to the right? How? Sorry, I am not too much of coder so dunno how to.
Manu, you can easily swap the sidebar from one side to another. Just open the style.css file and change the floats on #sidebar and #entries, so they look like this:
#sidebar {width: 336px;
float: right;
font-size: .8em;
line-height: 1.4em;
padding: 0 10px 25px 0;
}
and…
#entries {width: 468px;
float: left;
}
Thanks Robert.
That was exactly what i wanted! Thanks again.
You’re welcome!
