BytesForAll WordPress Themes

@tlcounts: 93
If you make sure that both themes are in different directories on the web server, i.e. “atahualpa2” vs. “atahualpa3”, then you could run them both side by side and migrate slowly. Version 3 has sophisticated sidebar settings, you can, for instance, have 2 sidebars on the homepage, 1 sidebar on a “page” page, and none on date based archive pages. Each sidebar can be turned on/off on a page-type basis with check boxes in the admin area. Both sidebars can be moved to the same side, too, with easy (manual) edits. v. 3 is also more browser-safe than v. 2

@Aenean: 90
First you would need the fr_FR.mo located in /wp-content/themes/atahualpa3/ which is not included in the theme yet but available at http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=82

When that file is present as that location, the theme should automatically display the localized words and phrases in French. Not everything will be in French though. Several parts of the theme are not localized as you can totally customize those terms anyway, through the Atahualpa Theme Options

@Markus 89
I understand your frustration but I cannot do more than offering you a helping hand. It could be your local setup, a setting, another widget, CSS, it could be anything. The blogroll widget is in wp-includes/widgets.php, starting at line 748.

@Markus: The blogroll works o.k. here. Something else might have gone wrong on your blog. Please post a URL or PM me at forum.bytesforall.com with Atahualpa 3 and broken blogroll

In index.php…

line 14, change

if (have_posts()) : ?>

to

if (have_posts()) : $postcount == 0; ?>

line 42, change

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

to

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $postcount++; ?>

line 134, change

is_page() ) {

to

is_page() OR (is_home() AND !is_paged() AND $postcount <= XX) ) {

In that last code sample, replace XX with the amount of posts to show in full (in your case: 1).
Set Atahualpa Theme Options -> Post or Excerpts -> Posts or excerpts on HOME page? to “Only Excerpts”.
I’ll add something like this to an upcoming version, will not make it into 3.2 though as I plan to release that very soon. I’ve added this option to version 3.2.

@Thomas Kroscavage: 83
To append the category links to the page menu bar, find, in functions/bfa_header_config.php at line 23

$page_menu_bar .= '</ul></div>' . "\n";

and add the following right before it:

$page_menu_bar .= bfa_hor_cats($bfa_ata_sorting_cat_menu_bar, $bfa_ata_levels_cat_menu_bar, $bfa_ata_titles_cat_menu_bar, $bfa_ata_exclude_cat_menu_bar);

There’s also a thread here on how to mix and match page menu bar, category menu bar and arbitrary links to external sites http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=103

@AndrewC: 81
You mean left and right sidebar I guess. Maybe the sidebar names interfere with the theme and widget configuration you had with an earlier theme. Try removing and re-adding the widgets. There should be only two sidebars in Atahualpa, and there are no known bugs regarding widget placement in sidebars. If this doesn’t work please post your URL or send me a Private Message at http://forum.bytesforall.com/

@Thomas Kroscavage: 79
To remove the page title from the post body see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=149

As for menu for pages and posts, do you mean both page types combined in one single menu? The theme is not prepared for that, it would require a good piece of custom code to achieve that. And it would mean that your posts would be kinda static I guess? In that case why not use “Page” pages in the first place? You can allow comments on “Page” pages too if that was you concern.

If you just wanted to list the posts (as a list in a sidebar), drop the “Recent Posts” widget into one of the two sidebars.

@alain: 75
I will fix that in the next version. Currently in WPMU you’d have to upload custom header images as it won’t display the default ones as fallback.

Re: preset options for subsites: All default options are in functions/bfa_theme_options.php. You can edit all the lines with “std” =>, i.e

"std" => "font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;\nfont-size: 0.8em;\ncolor: #000000;\nbackground: #ffffff;",

The “\n” aren’t necessary, they’re just there for visual line breaks inside the text areas on the option pages.

@Greg Davis: 74
I am aware of that and will fix it in the next release

@Jason: That may be not possible. I don’t know how the plugin works, but the theme does not write its options to the WP database when it’s just being previewed but not activated.

@xxxevilgrinxxx:
What does not work? Can’t you create a blank page at all, or does it not appear in the page menu, or does it not contain the archive links? It should look like this http://wp27.bytesforall.com/archive-page/

@Theresa S.:
Currently there’s no such feature

@taglife: The left sidebar is in header.php, the right one in footer.php

%1$s and %2$s are placeholders and will be replaced with the unique widget names. They are there in case someone wants to style individual widgets differently (which the theme already does to some extent, i.e. with the comment widgets).

Yes, you can modify the classes, ID’s and HTML tags that are associated with “before_widget” etc. in functions.php. It would affect the HTML output of widgets, including CSS class names and ID’s that the widgets get.

@Jason: 59

The theme itself cannot do that but I remember there’s a plugin where the site admin can view the new theme in action without going live with it. I don’t remember which one it was though. You can probably find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

@Shane Petersen: 55

The theme settings you made are saved in the database. Those settings would be taken over by the next theme version. Just overwrite the old theme with the new theme, all settings will persist. Only manual file edits (which you probably have not made) would have to be re-applied to the new theme files.

@Mandviva: 52

Thank you for the generous donation, Mandviwa.

Could you register at http://forum.bytesforall.com and send me a Private Message there, with the URL of your site? This looks like more stuff to check, communicating is easier at the forum. You can also post your URL here at the blog if you wish.

I just checked the header image margin and height on MU and it worked. To dig deeper I would need the URL.

@sonar: 50
Those enclose the javascript to hide it from non-capable browsers, it’s not an error

@John Eyler: 47/48

With the newest versions of both WP and Atahualpa you shouldn’t have this problem. At this stage I’d have to see the error in action to further examine the problem. Please feel free to send me a Private Message at http://forum.bytesforall.com/ if you’d rather not post your URL here

@John Eyler: Do you run an older 2.x version of Atahualpa? Version 2.0 or 2.01 didn’t have link categories. If you just add the links to the default “blogroll” category it should work even in those theme versions though.

@John Eyler: 42

Do you mean links in a sidebar (“blogroll”) or links inside a post? Without seeing the error live I may not be able to find the issue.

It’s strange that they would work in the default theme but not in Atahualpa. There’s nothing special that would need to be done regarding links in Atahualpa.

@phil: 42

Can you please add it to this thread: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=82

There are already 2 French translations. I’ll add yours to a page with all translation files, and users could also download it from that thread.

I’ve added the info to check that thread into the README-languages.txt file of the next Atahualpa version.

@Ed: 39

You don’t have to edit any files. You’d just have to re-apply the settings that you had before, via the Theme Options.

@Paul Compton: That’s unfortunately not possible without manual edits. You would have to find in functions/bfa_header_config.php, line 12, this:

$page_menu_bar = '<div id="menu1"><ul id="rmenu2" class="clearfix rMenu-hor rMenu">' . "\n";

and put this right below it:

$page_menu_bar .= '<li class="page_item"><a href="your_link" rel="nofollow">Your Link Text</a></li>';

In the code above, the

rel="nofollow"

was added by WP, you should leave that out.

@Marcos A.T. Silva: You can either make a copy of index.php and name it single.php or put something like this into index.php:

To display something only on single post pages:

<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
... your code ...
<php } ?>

To display something only on “page” pages:

<?php if (is_page()) { ?>
... your code ...
<php } ?>

I cannot imagine what the reason might be. I am still thinking that it might be related to a combination of Atahualpa & permalinks & a certain plugin. Can you turn version 3 on for a moment? Or, turn off one plugin after another to track it down a bit more.

Does the error happen with any post or just a specific one? Also, does it still happen when you add a trailing slash to your URLs (I noticed your permalink settings don’t have a trailing slash). If it’s a specific page please let me know which one.

I just saw in your next comment that it IS PHP. I also looked at the plugin and right now I cannot think of anything better than this:

In the plugin file ysoz.php line 46, find

foreach ($sonuclar as $sonuc) { echo $sonuc->metin; } }

and replace with

foreach ($sonuclar as $sonuc) { $result .= $sonuc->metin; } }
return $result;

and in the Atahualpa file functions/bfa_header_config.php line 94

Change

$logo_area .= '</td>';

to

$logo_area .= ysoz();
$logo_area .= '</td>';

The code you posted vanished. Please use


<pre lang="php">
... YOUR CODE ...
</pre>


It will depend on whether that code is PHP or some kind of variable that the plugin will parse and replace. I’ll assume that it is not PHP. Edit functions/bfa_header_config.php line 94 and …

Change

$logo_area .= '</td>';

to

$logo_area .= 'YOUR_CODE_HERE';
$logo_area .= '</td>';

and at Theme Options -> Header -> Show Blog Tagline? -> Choose No

Do you mean the avatars in comments? The avatars in the WP Recent Comments widget are already right aligned as far as I can see

The WP-Recentcomments has various additional styles, try this

.widget_recentcomments ul li a:link,
.widget_recentcomments ul li a:active,
.widget_recentcomments ul li a:visited,
.widget_recentcomments ul li a:hover {
border-left: 0px !important;
display: inline !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}

to style the container for single items

li.rc_item {
....
}

i.e.

border-bottom: dashed 1px #ccc;

First part container (author + image)

div.rc_info {
...
}

Second part (Excerpt)

div.rc_excerpt {
...
}

Could you try this then:

.widget_simple_recent_comments ul li,
.widget_simple_recent_comments ul li:hover {
border-left: 0px !important;
}

@Ragge: The WP-Recent Comments widget would have got the left border as well, like all widgets. You could try this, add the following via HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Inserts:

li.bfarecentcomments {
border-left: 0 !important;
}

There’s also the option to adjust the “left-border” for all widgets at Theme Options -> Widgets

@Ragge: I don’t know about that one but Atahualpa should work well with

– the default widget
– the BFA Recent comments widget
– the Get Recent Comments widget

@John Mauer: You probably inserted text from MS Word, including many MS specific tags. It works in Firefox because Firefox ignores those Microsoft tags. It should work if you edit the post in HTML mode and remove this:

When pasting text from Word use the “Paste from Word” button in the WordPress visual post editor. Or paste the text into another editor like the Windows “Editor” first, and copy and paste it into WP from there.

@Holgerbaer: Looks like it’s working on your site. The remaining English terms would have to be adjusted via the Atahualpa Theme Settings. Those remaining terms are not translated because they’re totally freely configurable anyway.

@xxxevilgrinxxx: Thank you

@Holgerbaer: Theme version 3.1.8 should switch to German automatically if your WordPress installation is in German?
