Wow - what great features. Thanks, I'll give it a try on one of my sites.

Hello

I like the theme and all it does, but there is a slight problem with quotes and blockquotes, as I hope appears below:-

“I deeply distrust the professional optimists - the banks, estate agents, government ministers - who seem to believe in an economic version of levitation,» Mr Cable told delegates.

“This is something Gordon Brown understood ten years ago when he said in his first Budget: ’I will not allow house prices to get out of control and put at risk the sustainability of recovery.’

You get these funny symbols and if you accidentally do a double space, you get an upper case A with an accent on top.

Hope this comes out so you can see what I mean and hope there is a cure. Have had to disable theme until this can be sorted out.

Many thanks and best wishes.
John

Hi Javier, I really like this theme - you've put so many features I want in it. Check it out here: http://doublehdesign.com/blog/. I'm still tweaking, but I think I'll keep this for a while.

Thanks for the great theme.
I am not too familiar with where to insert Google Analytics code for this theme. It must come immediately before the head tag, please tell me where in the theme I should place this w/o causing errors.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your help, but I am still getting parse errors - in the footer, where exactly do I place the Analytics code?

echo "\n";
echo "\n";

Thanks.

Hi, fist of all, very nice theme. One of the best I've seen so far.

I have an issue to set up the max width. When I set it to 960px max, 300px and 160px for sidebars, it just does not work, it keeps showing the same size, no matter if I set 900 or 980. I did not touch one line of code, it's as good as out of the box.

This theme looks like what I have been waiting for. I've been holding off on upgrading wordpress for some time now (still using 2.0.5), since newer versions don't appear to be compatible with the theme I am using. I love the three column layout, and this one seems perfect for me.

I was wondering if it is possible to define the link and header/footer colors in hex? With the configuration options you have, is it possible to go into the theme editor and change the pages manually?

Thanks for any feedback. This is a really nice looking theme.

Thanks, I'll have to figure out how. php isn't my strong suit.

Hi mate
Love the theme , just what I need. I am only a beginer at this blog stuff and have done a site for the local village but I dont need the panel «related posts » or «share this post» or any of the links in there, can I remove them so that it makes a cleaner join between the post and the «write a comment» panel. While I am at it I dont need the «no trackbacks» panel either so can I remove that as well. Please can you make it simple as I am not in to php and stuff.
Thanks

I was trying to use this theme on my site, Tech In Demand. Unfortunately, when I try to post a comment, it does not work. It will load the «wp-comments-post.php» file, but the page will be blank with white.

Not sure why this is happening.

Actually, I fixed the problem by simply disabling a plugin. I believe it was the Edit comments plugin.

However, there is a new problem.

Gravatars are not working on the site. I highly doubt that is a plugin issue as well.

It is a great theme, it appears all was working fine. Unfortunately, I too am not up to speed with PHP. I am always experimenting with themes and such. I just fear that I would easily break the theme, and with many themes, they are an easy fix. With this theme, it would be a very difficult task to track down what is wrong.

I will probably stick with my current theme until I read up on PHP, and then read through your theme and make sure I understand how everything is working.

There are some great elements I wish I could have from your theme: the ability to manage comments without going to the admin page, the dropdown RSS feeds, the seperated comments/trackbacks, the advertising sections, and much more.

This theme definitely ranks up in the top 10 themes I have ever seen. It also ranks up probably in #1 in difficulty

I'm curious Javier, how long did it take you to create this theme? It looks like it was a fairly ambitious project to take on.

Hi, visitors can't post comments in my blog whit this theme.
The site return: «The comment could include spam and hasn't been saved»

How can i disable the integrate anti-spam system?
Thanks

Ok, i have solved the antispam error simple edit the theme-antispam.php file.

This is bloody brilliant. There's a lot of functionality in the theme, and I'm truly impressed. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, Javier. I have replied to your email. I have another error whit comments. If you look at the footer, «Most Commented Posts» (using an external plugin - WP-MostCommented) shows the real number of comments for articles, but in the Articles page, this number is different.

Sorry my english,
Riccardo

the most commented posts widget included in the theme, display the incorrect value of comment (as the comments show in the articles). The external plugin show the real number of comments. The problem is in the include widget.
For example if you see the article «Immagine d'angolo per no-tc» (look at the footer widget) the number of comments is 23 (and it's the right number) , but i see only 2 comments.
Sorry if i can't explain my problem very well.

I replied to your email.

Hi javier, i have a presentation site for the people that have some house in brasil.
It isn't for me a commercial site, but it's a commercial site for this person.
Can i use your theme or isn't possible with this license?

The theme is very good!

bye MrKid

Greetings,
I have two issues. Sometimes when a person comments the name is defaulted to the last person who commented. I have had several people who commented but later realized that the name was not theirs.

The second deals with using quotes. When someone writes a comment or when i write a post if I use double quotes (» «) they display as <>. I have not figured out how to repair either of these problems.

Thanks,
BD

Thanks,
Is there one particular file that was changed? I made a few modifications and do not want to lose them.

gracias!

BD

waw ... great theme, definetely I'll try to use it ! thanks man !

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING -- this is probably the most incredible theme that I have ever seen or used -- THANK YOU for creating it and letting us use it!

Javier
This is THE theme I've always wanted and could never find. The abundant features, well thought out layout and design, the ability to tweak it and then tweak it some more, and above all your very prompt assistance make it a number ONE. Tops!

The time stamp on posts as in «7 months and 13 days ago» is a nice feature, but can I have the traditional style «date of post» show up as well? How can I do this?

Hi There,

Just wanted to say that this is a wonderful theme. However I do have a couple questions.

1. When viewing my site in IE the header image does not load, it works fine in Fire Fox.
2. For some reason my adsense code does not appear when I put it into the various «ad» files.

Can you please help?

http://www.greatreeftanks.com

I also receive this message in the «Share this Post» section.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/greatreeftanks.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/1blogtheme1.2/post-share.php on line 48

I added the image width and height and now my page menus in the header are off the page in IE.

Thanks for you help...

I am running WP on a hosted domain and I would like to create another WP blog in another directory on my domain which would have all the Theme settings exactly as the one I am running right now. Withou having to tweak the Theme script pages all over again, can I create the new blog and just copy the entire wp-content/themes/1blogtheme1.2. and subdirectories to the new location?

For some reason, when I switch to the 1blogtheme 1.2, nothing of the theme shows. I will leave my site set to this theme for a few hours in hopes that you will visit it and suggest what is going wrong. We hope to switch to your theme if we can resolve this problem.

Many thanks. We'll go to work finding the problem. Seems to be in my WP-Commerce plug-in. Deactivate it and the theme works!

I've fixed my header, thank you. But even after re-downloading the theme files and replacing the post-share.php file, I still have this message appearing.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/greatreeftanks.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/1blogtheme1.2/post-share.php on line 48

I'm wondering if it because I haven't upgraded wordpress.

RIch

Thanks Javier. I d/l'd the them files again and replaced the file. THis time it has worked!

Thanks for you help.

I notice a small «glitch» [for lack of a better word] - while viewing a single post, the comments form shows the name of the person who posted the last comment/message in the «Name» field of the form. Is this because of something strange that I did to the various setups or is this a universal issue? How do I correct it?

Also, is there a way to keep the comments form «hidden» with just a Link saying something like «Add your comment/reply» which would then make the comment form open up below the last comment posted?

Thanks!

I had read #33. I did download the latest version of your theme and this problem persists - that the last person's name who commented or left a message is the default name in the Name field.
I seem to recall that this happens with other themes too, so it is not probably a bug in your theme but something else altogether.....?

This is a great theme, and I'm going to give it a try on my own site.

It's going to take quite a bit of customisation though. Have you given any thought to making some more aspects of the themes appearance customisable through the admin panel? Being able to change the fonts would be quite handy.

I'll see what I can chance on my own without breaking things horribly!

I noticed that the theme disables the standard links widget.

Would it be possible for the Favourite sites widget that replaces it to have the same functionality of splitting things by blogroll category? Having all my blogroll links all mixed together instead of in categories could make it harder for readers to find what they want.

I'm sorry to be a pest.

I found that for some reason, this theme does not work with this popular image plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shutter-reloaded/

If I change theme it works fine. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

Worked like a charm! Thanks. You're a star!

Hi Javier
When using the «Email this post» function, I get the following error lines:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /.../.../XXXXX-www/.../.../wp-content/themes/1blogtheme1.2/theme-functions.php on line 199

Any idea what I could have done to get this error and what I must to do correct it?

Thanks!

Got the fix.

Added a «@» in front of «html_entity_decode»

How would I go about changing the quote marks from the French style that looks like<<, to the British style?

I wouldn't mind at all, except that Technorati currently decides that any of my posts that include quote marks are in French, which they are not, meaning that most English speakers won't see them when they search there.

Javier
How to eliminate the «ruled lines» ? I mean the lines that - for example - are in the bottom of this page in the footer.
Thanks!

I've written my former comment in spanish because I thought you r first language is spanish. But if you feel more familiar with english, I would translate my first question.

With regard to my second question, I've just noticed this was answered in comment number 40. Anyway, after replacing «obt_time_ago» by «date» in templates, I get dates in english format, instead of the spanish ones (for example, 2007-11-20, instead of 20-11-2007). And this happens even if I choose a spanish date format in WordPress backend (Options > General). Any idea?

Thanks for the fantastic theme, Javier! The feature set is nothing short of amazing and I've been running through it on a test region with a number of plugins I'm currently using on my live site. So far everything looks great.

Because its not your typical theme, I'm sure a lot of folks have questions so here's mine. I'm trying to integrate some comment related plugins and was hoping you could point out where your «comment loop» begins and ends.

And as far as suggestions, here's mine. I think it would help to have a table that maps typical functionality and files found in a WordPress theme to yours. Examples include my comments loop question and the style.css that's actually empty because the theme is handling things in style.php. This would aid bloggers not only looking to make styling related changes but those trying to integrate plugins that require adding new snippets of code.

Again, thanks for the incredible work!

Am I missing something? Can it be xHTML 4.01 transitional? The xHTML standard is only as far as version 1.1...

Javier, Great theme! I like the functionality of it and it really like the look. I have one comment regarding the related posts.

When using the post-related.php it did not seem to be pulling up posts that were related by tags. (I am using simple tags plugin). I modified the post-related.php as follows:

$obt_related_posts = obt_related_posts($obt_now);

To read:

$obt_related_posts = st_related_posts($obt_now);

which has taken care of the problem. Is there anything else I should be concerned with?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Javier,
i have some trouble whit your theme and Internet Explorer. In firefox theme display correct, but in IE the right sidebar is «only» show if you mouse over a link of the left sidebar. I haven't touch css file and test it whit and whitout my plugins usage. Any ideas?

Thanks Javier.

Hiya Javier! Been using this theme a while now.

I noticed that this theme has some built in metatag features, using the tags of a post to the meta name=»keywords».
It puts the tags in first, then follows with the categories. This is fine for individual post pages, but I find for my front page, as only a finite number of keywords appears, the tags push the categories out. Do you think, in that case, that perhaps it might be better to have the categories appear first in the keywords, rather than after the tags, as they tend to have longer term relevence?

Hi, I'm using this theme in a MU installation and it works fine, but the «Related Posts» shows not-so-related ones... Generally, it shows just one or two posts from a totally different category or tag.

I changed the code to make it display only category related posts but the problem remains. Any suggestions?

Thanks

No modification on any tag/category related stuff. It's just a regular install of MU.

Javier
Followup on comment #33 above
> Sometimes when a person comments the name is defaulted to the last person who commented.

That bug was already fixed. Simply re-download the theme and replace the files.

If I re-download the theme and replace all files, it would also overwrite some other changes I made. I cant remember what files I changed! So, could you tell me WHICH of the files within your Theme affect this issue of the commentor. I could then just upload that/those files....

Thanks!

Javier
I downloaded the newest version of your theme, uploaded comments.php tp both my blogs. The comment issue got resolved on one blog but did not get fixed on the other. Any ideas why this could be happening? I also forgot which file I changed for the correction of the time stamp as per comment # 40 above. Pls help.

Thanks!

Greetings and thanks for the great theme!!!

Found a couple of bugs:

The widgets «control panel» and «Log in» break the XHTML Validation

Thanks again for the great work,

Ministermark

Thanks for the great theme!

By the way, how do I make the meta-tags (description and keywords) static?

This is a great theme!!!
I only have a problem with color selection: when i try, by example, to select the hex color #E98C00, i see my color in the selector, but when i go to see it on the site, it appear to be a «more green» variation.
Can be a problem or what?

Thanks.

I've been developing themes for a while now, but after checking out your theme, I'm pretty damn amazed. It's easily the most functional and advanced theme I»ve ever worked with. Just wanted to send out a big thanks for all the hard work that you through into it.

Where do I go to ad my adsense code....? Where do I click to get to the /ads/ directory?

«You should place your adsense code in the files under the /ads/ directory (the file(s) depends on where you want the ad to display). Read the txt file in that directory.»

I guess I am confused how to access the ads/directory? Do I access the /ads/directory file in my word press theme or do I ad the the adsense code on my server?

Confused here... walk me through it please.
thanks

Does your theme have 'do follow' function? I tried so many do follow plugin and it's not work on this theme.

Thanks. I hope the next version of this theme will include 'do follow' option.
Honestly, I'm so satisfied with this theme, so many features that reduce my plugins list.

@ #99 imcw You can easily change rel=»nofollow» to rel=»follow» on lines 60 & 146 of comments.php

What a great and easily customizable theme!

Thanks again

Great theme, I think I' m gonna use it for at least a year as my blog's theme.

One problem I found so far is that it replaces the created by «All In One SEO Pack» plugin.
So it doesn't display custom keywords I typed in editing post section via a form supplied by the plugin through the admin control panel.
Any hint to disable SEO functions of the theme so the plugin can be fully functional again? Or maybe there's a more fexible way to customize the keywords entries without messing with core theme files.

Thanks a bunch for making this great theme for us.

Sorry, I meant «... replaces the entries created by ....» please edit my previous comment before you approve it.

Thanks again

Sweet.
After confused a bit, I finally see the light.
Btw. What is the meta name=blogcatalog ... for?

Unrelated «related» posts being shown on first/home page.

I just noticed, that on the opening page, which I set to show only the latest post, has completely unrelated posts being shown as RELATED. This problem is not there when I open a specific post - but this problem is only on the home page.

Any clues?

Yes, I checked and you are correct. But, there is no relationship between the posts listed as 'related' to this particular post. Look at the
categories/tags for the post in question.
Also, the post that should show up as «related» is this one. But, neither of these two posts link up as "related". the other posts on my blog seem to be related correctly. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to disable the «Related Posts» section on the Front/Home page but keep the option active in the Single post pages?

Javier, this is great theme...full of many useful features! It can help any blog. Thanks very much for sharing this with everyone.

Javier
Thanks. But I dont know exactly where to insert the «if (is_single())» and what other code to add there to make related posts only show up in the single post page. Appreciate please assist with this as I am not quite that savy at coding.

Thanks for the support. Much appreciated.
Shall not post further support request posts here.

Greetings,

We are very interested in the built in print function but have noticed that it cuts off longer posts at the end of the first page... Is there a way to modify this?

Thanks for the awesome theme!

Mark

I would say this is the best theme i have ever seen..keep it up man,can anyone tell me mine theme is which version?is it the latest one?

Hi Javier, I'm very happy with the theme and it suits our site perfectly, but a few things I'm having problems with.
I had problems with getting the body alignment/width/sidebars etc right (especially for viewing in IE6/7) but making it a set width was the best compromise I found.
My only real problem is with the font and font sizes. To change fonts/sizes etc - do we edit the style.php file? I've tried a few times and see no results but then suddenly, changes I've made are applied even though I've returned them back to normal.
I've been really carefully commenting the changes I make inside this file but to no avail - I end up just putting the original style.php file back again in frustration.
Can we add lines to the style.css file and will they override the php file settings? As you can tell I am a novice at css completely! If you can give me a few hints or even where to go to find out more I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, thank you for producing the theme, it suits a cms type of site perfectly!

Wow, quick reply thanks for that. I wasn't questioning the theme as far as IE6/7 goes, more that we all have the same problems when trying to get our sites to display properly on lower screen resolutions (ie 800x600 say) so a fixed width is all we can do to get it to display. Using a percentage body width looked fine in Firefox but not in IE, it (IE) screwed the sidebars up.

Ok, I'll have a go at editing the after-css file and see how I get on there. So, you're saying to leave the style.php file alone?

Are there any planned updates to the theme Javier? Would love some font/sizes options!

Many thanks again

Javier,
Can I remove the time from a post title?
Exceptional theme. Thanks.
