BytesForAll WordPress Themes

I answered all open questions as far as I can see. Within a few days I should have installed WP 2.5 along with a neater system to test and showcase the current themes in various WP versions up to 2.5) and on a huge sample blog loaded with lots of content to test all kinds of real life blog situations. After that I’ll release my newest theme (white, 3 col., drop downs) and finally I’ll update the existing themes with some maintenance fixes, like missing next/previous links, some floating issues and others.

My wife bought a house and I had to replace the mouse with the rotary hammer for a while. I’ll need another few weeks before I can get back to my WP themes. Just letting you know that this site and the themes are still being maintained. Theme updates and new themes are coming soon – stay tuned. Here’s a little preview of the next theme, it has multi level drop downs for pages and cats, avatars built in, author comment highlighting, and a few other things:

Newest theme, Drop Down Mania, soon to be released

Although featured as 2.2/2.1 compatible by me, “Cats Drop Down” doesn’t work with WP 2.1 or 2.2 yet, only with 2.3. I will have a fixed version online within a couple days, need to finish my newest theme first which is almost done.

I am also in the process of changing my internal setup and this site here to allow for better/faster theme testing, downloads, ratings etc. You’ll be able to test all themes online, just like now, but additionally in 2.2 and 2.1, and on a huge sample site with all kinds of posts, comments, pages, categories.

Just to let you know that a lot of good WP stuff is going to be released here, so stay tuned.

Updates available for all three WordPress themes, Bytes For All, BFA Round Tabs and Willy the Cat.

This is not a critical update, especially if you do not notice any strange behaviour on your site. It really depends on your style of writing posts and pages. The error occurs only if you do things such as

• using the default float:left setting
• AND: using images within list items
• AND: the text that wraps around that image is not long enough to wrap around the whole image

Nonetheless the site-wide float setting can produce some ugly results under specific conditions such as the one mentioned above, so I dropped that “feature” alltogether and the new versions do not have it anymore.

Instead, you are now encouraged to use the old style “alignment” setting in the WordPress editor’s image editor (click the Tree icon when in the editor). That is a more intuitive way of dealing with text wrap around images, and besides that you can align images left and right at the same time with that, whereas the site-wide image float allowed only one alignment direction.
