Connections is an excellent theme and your version makes it even better. Great work.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:26 pm
Thank you!
I am glad you like it.

Hi,
I am trying to publish my links as a blog roll on the sidebar. However, when I am trying to publish it, there is a black mark coming in front of the blogroll box. I am using the code without any headers. Please tell me where I am going wrong. You can see the black dot on my blog page - http://blog.gagankaul.com.
thanks.
August 9th, 2005 at 10:18 pm
Where exactly in the sidebar is your blog roll?
I do not see any black marks anywhere in the sidebar of your blog above.
I have checked your blog in both IE and Firefox
August 10th, 2005 at 9:42 pm
I removed the formatting. I tried to paste just the links tag and the box header displayed Blogroll (the default link category), and along with that there was a black dot coming outside the box.
Later, I just removed the links link and instead pasted in a new box template. You can see that the links are now listed according to the category. I was trying to list them as a single category (Blogroll), with the header as Blogroll which comes automatically from WP, if you paste the links tag without any box template.
August 11th, 2005 at 6:04 am
This black dot is actualy because the sidebar listing is part of a list.
You may need to edit the CSS file or use appropriate sidebar code to avoid that black dot.

any idea why my site is missing the rap image from the sides? and also. would you mind telling me how i can add on the newsletter and site stats feature. i’m using the style for a commercial site for a classified print magazine going web and could really use these features..
August 15th, 2005 at 9:07 pm
i forgot to a add that your editor is awesome. i didn’t even know this was a feature. i’m so new to this everythings cool. could you mention what plug in this is.
August 15th, 2005 at 10:15 pm
I can see the rap images on the sides of your site.
For the newsletter read this post.
There are a lot of newsletter plugins available for WP here.
I’m using StatCounter for stats.
For the editor (I assume you are talking of the toolbar you see here on the comment form), I use Comment Quicktags.
August 16th, 2005 at 4:13 am
What is the plugin that you are using for the comment preview?
August 16th, 2005 at 9:20 am
It is LiveCommentPreview
August 17th, 2005 at 1:52 am
I have downloaded and activated the plugin. But the LivePreview is not working. Do I need to tweak the code in comments template for this to work?
August 17th, 2005 at 6:05 am
Add
<?php live_preview(); ?>to the comments template where you want to display the Preview.August 17th, 2005 at 10:03 pm
Ajay, its not working for me. I have tried to put it at a lot of places in the comments template. But it is just not working. The last place where I have placed it and left it there is:
All comments are subject to the Rules.
Can you tell me where exactly to place it so that it shows the way it is showing up here. If I get this, then I can tweak it further the way I want. Thanks.
August 17th, 2005 at 11:04 pm
I have it placed it just after:
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>Check if you have
<script src="http://blog.gagankaul.com/wp-content/plugins/live-comment-preview.php/commentPreview.js" type="text/javascript"></script>in between the<head>and</head>Reconfirm if you have activated the plugin and that your blog is not generating any javascript errors.
Alternatively you may need to contact the developer or post in the Wordpress Support Forums.
August 18th, 2005 at 12:34 am
Yeah I have that link in my html header. Dunno why the preview is not showing up. Will check up in the WP Support Forums. Anyways, thanks for your help and for the great theme. It rocks !!
August 18th, 2005 at 6:36 am
Thank you.
Glad you like the theme.
August 18th, 2005 at 8:35 am
do you think you could give us more info on how to get the newsletter feature actually working?
August 18th, 2005 at 9:54 am
The newsletter I use is a ready made php script.
It is called txtlist and is totally independent from WP.
It would be easier if you just contact the developer with any queries regarding the newsletter.
September 9th, 2005 at 2:02 pm
Hi Ajaym
Great design man, i would love to use it, but I’am having a small problem. Something’s wrong with the borders, can you have a look at http://www.inklings.nl ?
You can login with jasper/inklings
Thanks!
Jasper
September 9th, 2005 at 2:05 pm
Additionally:
On the right/botoom corner, I get this message:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cc_output_image() in /home/users/inkliftp/inklings.nl/wp-content/themes/connections/sidebar.php on line 140″
September 9th, 2005 at 2:28 pm
Jasper, I cannot login to your site above. It gives me 401 error.
But for the solution to your problem, please delete the line
<li><?php cc_output_image("") ?></li>I will get a fix for the theme ready. Thank you for pointing this out
September 9th, 2005 at 2:41 pm
Thanks Ajay,
From which file(s) do I have to remove this line?
September 9th, 2005 at 4:02 pm
Only from
sidebar.phpSeptember 9th, 2005 at 4:22 pm
Hi Ajay,
It’s really nice to see that you have decided to make your customized theme available for everyone
Keep up the good work !
September 9th, 2005 at 4:25 pm
Fix worked, thanks, keep up the good work!

@Shriram Just doing my service to the community
September 14th, 2005 at 6:19 am
Ajay,
How can I set up my archives page under the connections template without uploading your whole template? I’ve already made a number of mods to mine and I’d hate to have to go back and do them all again.
September 14th, 2005 at 6:24 am
The easiest way for you would be to download the theme and copy the code from
archives.phpSeptember 14th, 2005 at 6:03 pm
Yeah, that is what I ended up doing. Thanks for all your mods to the theme. I’m very pleased with everything. Also, thank you for your prompt reply.
September 14th, 2005 at 9:14 pm
Your most welcome. Glad to be of use
September 30th, 2005 at 1:39 pm
Ajay, I tried to install version 1.01 but ended up with some severe (CSS?) problems and had to switch back to 1.0. Do you have an idea what could be the case?
Another thing: I would like to show recent comments on the side-bar, do you have some wisdom on how to do that?
Thanks, once again!
September 30th, 2005 at 4:29 pm
I downloaded Connections Reloaded but when I installed it was the connections theme. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to do something in addition to installing the theme? I love the reloaded them and wish to use that on my site.
Thanks
Heather
October 1st, 2005 at 2:00 am
@Jasper, I can’t think of what CSS problem you could have faced because I didn’t touch the CSS file during the 1.0 > 1.01 update. Could you fill me in more via email on the issue. Anyway, I went through and cleaned the CSS file. Give it a shot.
For the Recent Comments I use Get Recent Comments.
@Heather, I originally had Connections Reloaded extract to the same directory as Connections, however have changed the directory now with v1.1
The look is almost same as Connections.
My site runs a further modified version of Connections-Reloaded.
@SilverMaster, Glad you like the theme, do give it a shot.
October 8th, 2005 at 10:03 am
I notice on Safari and Firefox that the Calender sidebar does not sit correctly. In Safari 1.3.1 the ‘header’ of the Calender is ‘indented’ 5mm from the right. In Firefox 1.0.2 (on Mac) the Calender doesn’t have a line in the top bar. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.
October 8th, 2005 at 10:30 am
Unfortunately I am not in a position to view the theme on Safari or Firefox on the Mac.
You seem to be running Connections on your blog above and not Connections Reloaded.
In the Connections Reloaded the calendar has a faint line at the top.
October 8th, 2005 at 10:45 am
Hi Ajay,
Yes, I was considering upgrading to your Reloaded version. But the calendar sidebar would be slightly askew to our predominantly Mac using students.
I have emailed you the screen captures of how it looks.
Perhaps it a CSS problem. Or the width of the actual calendar contents.
I wonder if this is the reason that the calendar wasn’t included in the original Connections theme?
Cheers,
Paul
October 8th, 2005 at 12:25 pm
I have checked out the screenshots. I see it in Firefox the same as you.
I will see what I can do about making that top header more visible in Firefox.
However, I will admit that it is badly off in Safari. Probably just a font size problem.
I think it would be easier at your end if you could install Reloaded and test it by reducing the font-size of the calendar section. I say this because I am not in a position to test in Safari.
October 9th, 2005 at 5:35 am
Newbie to this stuff so…I create an about page, it’s there, but when I click about in the top nav - error 404 - is there some special coding here somewhere? Same goes for other pages in the nav bar…
Also what plug-ins are you using on this? Can’t find a list.
October 9th, 2005 at 7:05 am
You will need to create pages.
Goto
Write ... Pagesin WP-Admin and create a page called AboutSimilarly do the same for the other links in the top navbar.
Ofcourse you can also open
header.phpand delete the links you don’t want.October 9th, 2005 at 7:10 am
I’d done that but when I try to link off the home page - 404?
October 9th, 2005 at 7:42 am
Then you can try doing two things.
1. Check that the post slugs are about, archives etc.
2. Check if your .htaccess file is writable (chmod 777). Then goto Options … Permalinks and click Update Permalink Structure.
WP will update your permalinks. If your .htaccess is not writable, you will need to copy and paste the code generated in it.
October 10th, 2005 at 2:42 pm
Ajay,
Why are categories on the sidebar not sorted alphabetically? Can I fix that myself, how?
I’m getting lots of categories now, I tried movig some under a parent category but after refreshing they are not nested behind a parent category, why?
October 10th, 2005 at 4:21 pm
Use
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1, 15'); ?>in place of
<?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1, 15'); ?>For more information see Template Tags/wp_list_cats
October 10th, 2005 at 8:36 pm
Many thanks,
I used
It worked except hierarchical doesn’t show, am running WP 1.5.2
October 10th, 2005 at 10:39 pm
That is something I can’t seem to figure out.
Are you sure that they are actually hierarchical.
You can confirm it by editing a category and checking if the parent is as required.
Then set it and save.
You may need to post in WordPress forums regarding this, as the same is working out here on my blog.
October 10th, 2005 at 11:59 pm
I am having trouble with aligning/wrapping images. My About page has images that were previously aligned/wrapped under my old theme but now are all left-aligned under this theme.
Is there a trick to forcing the images to align (right-align, for instance)?
October 11th, 2005 at 6:09 am
Not much of a trick, but you can add this code manually to the style.css file.
.rightalign {float:right;}I have written
rightalignbecause that is what you have used in your about page.For left:
.leftalign {float:left;}For center:
.centeralign {text-align:center;}October 11th, 2005 at 6:40 am
Thanks, Ajay. Obviously, I am an amateur at styling pages; apparently, I was using improper tags to begin with.
October 11th, 2005 at 9:32 pm
You’re most welcome. Am glad you are using my theme
October 12th, 2005 at 2:23 pm
Ajay,
Now I know, in order that children categories are shown there must be at least a post for the parent category. As simple as that, now solved.
Thanks again.
October 15th, 2005 at 9:13 am
Hi Ajay,
I was wondering if you have a list to hand of other plug-ins that you can recommend to work with your Reloaded? For example I wonder if I should risk running this code for Gallery adaption.
Also, if it isn’t too much trouble can you tell me where I should adjust the font size for the Reloaded Calender to compensate for the Firefox and Safari header problem?
Thanks,
Paul
October 15th, 2005 at 11:15 am
Ajay,
Just want to share here that I have used FAlbum (at 0.5 now) for connections reloaded which is working beautifully but you have to modify index.php of the theme to make it work, see the forum discussion for this plugin.
FAlbum is very nice if you are using flickr to store your pictures.
October 15th, 2005 at 8:08 pm
@Paul, I think you can run the Gallery Adaption. However, I do urge you to backup anything and everything you are going to change including the files and the database, in case anything goes wrong and then run the adaption.
For the Reloaded calendar, open up style.css and edit the portion from
/* Calendar */Basically,
#wp-calendarpart.@sfong
Thanks for the feedback. I have personally not looked at Falbum. Will do so if I can spare some time.

How do I add “Links” to the sidebar like they are in the Default theme?
November 2nd, 2005 at 12:30 pm
<h2><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2><ul>
<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><h3><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
November 2nd, 2005 at 12:32 pm
Ajay,
Me again, have you managed to look at sidebar down shift problem when viewed in IE6? I’m still on “reloaded” for you to see this.
November 2nd, 2005 at 6:03 pm
Hi,
Sorry didn’t have time to check it out. Just visited your site in IE.
I think the reason is because of the images in the sidebar not loading. (404 errors)
Right-click and save them of my site and put them in `wp-images`
This should solve your problem.
November 2nd, 2005 at 8:50 pm
Many many thanks Ajay,
Problem solved, wonder why IE couldn’t fetch images from those sites.
November 2nd, 2005 at 9:02 pm
Actually you can’t blame IE on this matter. Even Firefox couldn’t fetch them, as they weren’t present.
However, when IE can’t fetch an image it stretches the image placeholder to include the text in the
altattribute, hence the stretching of the sidebar and it shifting down below the text.November 6th, 2005 at 9:01 am
ok.. here come the questions
- my side bar is all wonky in IE. It’s properly aligned in FireFox and Netscape, but in IE it starts way down the page… any ideas as to why? I didn’t actually change anything in the formatting.
– how do I get my gravatars to align right like yours? I have seen this on other blogs, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Do you think you’d be so kind as to share that?
I love this version of Connections, I have tweaked it a little when it comes to images, but I shall becrediting everyone involved! I am in the middle of working on this, so it doesn’t look all that spiffy yet.
November 6th, 2005 at 11:52 am
To answer your questions:
1. The sidebar problem is because of missing images in the sidebar causing it to shift down. Save the images from my sidebar and put it into `wp-images` or download v1.2 of the theme which I will be releasing today.
2. For the gravatars, you will need to add the following code to comments.php
<img src="<?php if (function_exists('gravatar')) gravatar("", 60); ?>" alt="Gravatar" class="gravatar" />just after
<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">Add the following to your CSS file.
.gravatar {
position: relative;
float: right;
margin: 0 0 2px 5px;
padding: 2px;
clear: both;
border: 1px solid #000;
background: #FFF;
}
Note that I am using the WordPress Gravatar Plugin.
November 6th, 2005 at 6:50 pm
Thanks for your help… do I have the Gravatar plug in already, sorry I should have explained that a little better. I just didn’t have it activated yet since I was still messing with the new theme. I was only curious how to get it to the right.. I see the “float: right” tag. That will help!
OK.. and I’m probably dim, but WHAT images are missing for the side bar to drop like that? I have all the images that came with the theme loaded up, I didn’t delete anything.
Maybe I’ll just wait for the new relsease. 
Again, thanks so much! (PS - the vanilla sky blog also drops the sidebar in IE for me.. so it’s not just me, hoohah! I feel a little less dim.
November 6th, 2005 at 8:13 pm
Seem to have got it working, so please ignore my last comment.
Thanks again!
November 6th, 2005 at 9:24 pm
Your welcome.
I see you shifted to Connections.
Anyways regarding the images they are the ones in the meta section. These were distributed with WP at one time I guess, but are not anymore. Anyway, you can right-click and save them of my site if you need them.
November 6th, 2005 at 9:30 pm
Um.. yes I did. Sorry about that, I thought I would try the original one just to see if the same thing happened with the sidebar. I was to frustrated to go back. ha! Your help with the gravatar thing was excellent! I bow down before you. Thanks.
November 6th, 2005 at 10:13 pm
Lol. All the best with the website.
Glad to know you got the gravatars running
November 7th, 2005 at 7:51 am
Ajay,
Great work Ajay! I’m interested in fixing the display issue of nested categories, which particular php file I should be looking at replacing? I have other minor customizations at my site therefore don’t want to mess up too much.
November 7th, 2005 at 8:50 am
It is actually the CSS file. You will need to edit the
backgroundproperty of#sidebar ul ul liand changeleftto0 5pxNovember 10th, 2005 at 7:23 pm
Hi Ajay… i love your theme so much.. best of the best…
But i have a problem here. i use Falbum to show my photos from flickr.com. But it’s really mess up the sidebar.
please check here
how can i fix this problem?
Thanks you very much Ajay..

November 10th, 2005 at 10:39 pm
You need to make

You are welcome and thanks for testing it out.
Will now release this out to the public so that others using FAlbum can benefit from it
November 11th, 2005 at 7:22 am
Ajay,
I could have contributed if I have read above comments earlier about FAlbum. I was actually running your connections-reloaded v1.1 when I was testing falbum 0.5 so I olvedknew the frustration. I found the solution from a post in the falbum forum, see it here at http://sfong15.wordpress.com/2005/10/06/important-notes/
November 11th, 2005 at 10:41 pm
Loveli theme, too bad it’s not fully localized, we made a fully international version with italina localization at our WordPress Italy Project. But we need to parse the code to add full internazionalization functions in all the theme as Ryan Boren explained at: http://wordpress.org/pipermail/hackers/2004-October/002388.html
We would be glad to make your them avaiilable in italian if and when you will made it internationalized or later when I will be less busy iI could do it for you.
November 11th, 2005 at 11:15 pm
Hi Stefano,
Internationalizing the theme sounds perfect. Unfortunately it also sounds all new to me.
I read through what Ryan Boren wrote at the link you posted above, however it’s way over my head
What I do understand is using
_e()or__()to display text which needs to be converted right?However, where and how exactly do I use
load_theme_textdomain()and how do I generate the POT and mo files?November 12th, 2005 at 11:18 pm
Right functions are used one if the text will be directly printed:
and the other when the text will be used by a function php:
I usually put
load_theme_textdomain()in every page that has an tag at start so i’ sureineritheverye included will in erith it. To generate .POpofiles form with you can get .po and .mo i use a shell extensiont as a Unixlike shell extension for Windows (Cygwin), if you plan to internationalize you theme i can do it for you you will have just to distribute the theme with the .pot file, people will localize it generating .po and .mo files using PoEdit (you can easily find it on Google).If you plan to internationalize the them i can help you generating stuff, checking the them during the translation in italian fnding problem or rong use of the functions etc, you will have to browse all the files and add the right functions to text… that’s the long and tedious work
If you need help or have any questions better you email me
November 13th, 2005 at 8:45 am
Hi Stefano,
I think the code you posted did not come, seems that WP filtered out the code, prob if it contained < or >
I understand the tediousness of the work, but it sounds like a good thing to do.
But, I must warn you that you will need to provide me with a lot of guidance (atleast at the start), because this is something I have never done before!
November 13th, 2005 at 1:14 pm
No problem, as I told you, email me when you wanna start and I will give you all the help you need
November 13th, 2005 at 1:19 pm
Will do that.
Thanks.
Internationalization shall be a feature in Connections Reloaded 2, a roadmap of which I plan on writing soon.

After upgrading to 1.2.1, I’m still getting a couple of errors when my site is viewed in MSIE. I’m rather ignorant when it comes to validating code, so I’m not sure if it’s some of my custom changes or part of the original theme. Does anyone have a clue what these error messages from MSIE mean? What code are they referencing–the stylesheet?
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error

November 18th, 2005 at 4:41 pm
Hello Fr. Daniel.
It is a javascript problem that shows up.
I checked your source code and found
Style[0]on that line.Now, are you using some kind of plugin that would generate this?
This is not a theme related issue.
November 18th, 2005 at 4:53 pm
Ajay, it was a plugin causing the problem. Thanks for your help. I don’t know what I’d do without all the kind WP users!
November 18th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
That’s what we are here for, to help
November 19th, 2005 at 8:32 am
Dear Ajay,
I’m still unable to activate your v1.2 or v1.2.1, tried that at every blog installation I have. I’m fine with v1.1 and have recently added “count down” and “My swicki” at the sidebar, you could have a look there. The Swicki search box turns out very nice. It wasn’t that good looking at other places where I have used other themes.
November 19th, 2005 at 8:59 am
What is the exact error that seems to be thrown up when you are trying to activate 1.2.
Please dash me an email, will be easier to correspond that over comments here.
November 19th, 2005 at 12:52 pm
Sincerely express my thanks here to Ajay, it’s really great fun playing with Connections-reloaded.
As always, problem solved.

I’m using the Link Category Order plugin to sort my links by custom priority. It requires that I insert
get_lco_links_list()whereget_links_list()would normally be called. I’ve inserted this in the sidebar template wherephp wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id)is but the link formatting changes. I’ve looked at the WordPress documents on template tags and conditional tags but I can’t figure out how to solve this issue. I’d like to keep the theme’s default link formatting but use the plugin to sort the categories.November 20th, 2005 at 8:31 pm
Hi Fr. Daniel,
I have custom code in the sidebar that displayed the links as they were. Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t support the same parameters as
wp_get_linksand hence there is little you can do about it.One option I can suggest is of knocking off
<ul>and the</ul>that surroundget_lco_links_list()i.e.
get_lco_links_list()immediately follows the</h2>of Links.This will cause the links to split up into sections.
You could also do restyling in the CSS. But, this isn’t a very easy option.

This is a great theme!
I have one problem though. I have translated the site to Dutch, but I have a problem with comments.php —
(unexpected ')' on line 1— I’ve noticed this happens as soon as I make one little change to the file and save it. I made sure I have no odd characters in there…just changed the text from “No responses” to “Geen reacties”.I’ve noticed when I opened the php file in Wordpad, it didn’t show up normal, but all code was on 3 lines. It must have something to do with the format the file was saved in. Is there something I can do to solve this?
November 20th, 2005 at 11:34 pm
Use Notepad for editting the files instead of WordPad.
BTW, I can see your site fine…
November 21st, 2005 at 12:01 am
Ajay, I edited with Notepad and had the same problem. At first I thought it had something to do with the way I transfer files. But if I transfer comments.php unedited it goes fine.
If I make one single change in notepad (just change Responses into Reesponses, for example), save and ftp, then I get the parse error.
Maybe you can try to reproduce the error in a test environment following the actions I take?
You could probably see the site fine because I was/am using the unedited English comments.php
November 21st, 2005 at 12:16 am
I’m still seeing your site correctly with no parse error.
I can’t seem to figure out why that is happening.
Are you transferring the php files as ASCII ??
November 21st, 2005 at 12:28 am
Yes, I’m transferring them as ASCII
I have placed the edited comments.php back, so now you should see it broken “in action” on the site as soon as you navigate to a permalink.
I have to go for a couple of hours. Thanks for looking into it for me.
November 21st, 2005 at 12:31 am
Ajay, I was thinking, maybe you could email me the comments.php rather than me using the version packaged in the download, to see if that makes a difference.
November 21st, 2005 at 1:17 am
Ajay, thanks again for your help. I was able to get an adequate formatting for the links list by editing the sidebar as you suggested.
November 21st, 2005 at 3:45 am
@w8in, have mailed you the theme. If it gives you an error moment you edit, send my the comments.php that you are modifying and reuploading to your server.
@Fr. Daniel, great

Ajay,
How can I easily change the image of the connections reloaded theme? Notice that, when viewing the image in the img folder, the “tunnel” image has a frame around it therefore it’s not a simple replacement of that image with the right pixels. Any open sourced application you would recommend to put my image into that frame?
November 30th, 2005 at 4:37 pm
Two good applications. One is the GIMP and the other one is PhotoFiltre.
I’m planning to release a version of the header when I release v2.0.
There is still time for that however, as my day job has put major time constraints on other development (can’t complain, as it pays me more!).
December 2nd, 2005 at 10:50 am
Awesome theme! But I never liked the color scheme so I created my own. Here’s a screenshot if yer interested.

Ajay, thanks for all the information you offer here about Connections Reloaded. It did help me fixing my knew WordPress blog and your version of Connections Reloaded that I’m using. It’s great. I succed to integrate a random header Image. And it’s wordkimg very good.
I still working on falbum and I succed to integrate it in Connections Reloaded v1.2.1.
The problem is that I can’t fix falbum Recent Photos on the sidebar. See what I get :
http://www.fikra.kitab.nl/
Can you tell me who th do it ?
thanks
sami

I can see it perfectly in IE, though there is a problem with Firefox, which I can’t seem to figure out.
I am assuming that it is because you have a
divwithin theliI suggest removing the
ulandlienclosing thediv.If you want a similar style then try using creating a class
falbum-recentwith the same properties of#sidebar uland/or#sidebar ul liinstyle.cssDecember 5th, 2005 at 12:03 am
Hallo Ajay,
I removed li and ul then added :
- this code to connections-reloaded/style.css:
.sb_flickr {
height: 180px;
}
- and this one to the the falbum.css.php:
.sb_flickr img
{
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 5px;
}
.sb_flickr {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.falbum-recent {
height: 180px;
}
I get what I want (two columns of recent photos.) only in Opera. But :
- IE shows only 1 column.
- problem with Firefox.
- don’t get the background-color and the sidenav_bottom.jpg.
December 5th, 2005 at 6:13 am
It would be easier to add them all into
style.cssYou could have kept the
h2as before, only removed theulandli.Try:
.falbum-recent {
background: url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) #F3F6ED no-repeat bottom;
border: #E1D6C6 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

I’m getting the following message at the end of a protected post that has comments: “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.” I have not seen this before and don’t understand why the comments aren’t showing up. Am I missing something?
December 5th, 2005 at 8:49 am
Your post is protected with a password. Until the password is entered it won’t be displayed.
Edit your post to remove the password.
December 5th, 2005 at 8:53 am
Ajay, I understand about the protected post. However, even after entering the password to view the post, the message is still showing up. This wasn’t previously a problem and I wonder if it might have something to do with the theme (or something I did to the theme).
December 5th, 2005 at 9:02 am
Try checking this out with the default theme, or check it out on another browser, or get someone else to check it out for you.
It could be a cookie / browser issue.
December 5th, 2005 at 9:17 am
I’ve checked this in Firefox and IE and have the same problem in both. I switched to the WP default theme and did not have the problem. I thought that I might have flubbed comments.php so I put in a clean copy from the theme download but the problem is still occurring.
December 5th, 2005 at 11:41 am
Fr Daniel,
I came across this with few other themes, don’t know why. My workaround is that after entering your pwd, click enter if your post doesn’t show trying clicking the post title. I think this is sort of refreshing that post and it will show in most cases. I think this is a cookie issue because you’ll find that next few times you won’t need to enter any password to see pwd protected posts unless you have cookies cleared.
December 5th, 2005 at 6:50 pm
sfong, thanks for your help. However, the problem I’m having isn’t that the post is not visible. I CAN view the POST but the COMMENTS that are on the post do NOT show up. Instead, I get the message “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments. When I switch to a different theme, the comments are visible. I’ve cleared caches and cookies, used different browsers, etc. and that does not seem to be the issue.

December 7th, 2005 at 8:58 am
No I haven’t spoken to Patricia to join efforts. Anyway I think she already is working with someone else, while I’m pretty much of lone coder
I will see what I can do about WPG2. Maybe test it out on my Demo Blog and/or add it to the v2.0 if successful.
December 12th, 2005 at 5:57 pm
Hallo Ajay,
I can’t get the links page to work (http://www.kitab.nl/links/), I get the 404 page.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
sami
December 12th, 2005 at 6:02 pm
Did you create the links page in your WP-Admin?
If so update your Permalinks.
December 12th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
How can I creat a links page ?
December 13th, 2005 at 8:54 am
Write ... PagesUnder Page Template select Links
December 13th, 2005 at 4:13 pm
Thank you Ajay, I did it. It was so simpel; but I did no know it. I was stupid.
December 14th, 2005 at 2:57 am
Sorry Ajay but I get a problem when trying to instal an wp-email. So I decied to desinstal it when I could no longer have acces to the index of the site. All the other pages work good (expl : contact or links) except with the index kitab.nl where I get an 500 page error. I think that I did someting with my .htaccess file.
Could you please help me.
Thanks
sami
December 14th, 2005 at 8:52 am
Sami please contact the author of wp-email regarding this.
If you feel it is a problem with .htaccess, backup or rename it and create a new .htaccess.
Please note that this page is exclusively for Connections Reloaded. For other queries you may contact me directly or better still post in the WordPress Forums.
December 14th, 2005 at 11:38 am
I really like this theme. You did a great job. Does it come in 3 column layout?
December 14th, 2005 at 12:09 pm
Not yet. Have plans for one.
Will soon update the roadmap.
You can subscribe to the posts on connections reloaded to keep in touch with updates.
December 14th, 2005 at 4:35 pm
I’m Sorry Ajay for the post. You’re right. And thanks for your help.
December 15th, 2005 at 12:14 am
Sounds good! I will keep an eye out.
December 20th, 2005 at 4:41 am
no “theme toolkit” inside ?
December 21st, 2005 at 1:37 am
I am considering the toolkit for v2 of the theme.
December 29th, 2005 at 6:55 pm
Hi Ajay, Great theme but I cant seem to get it to work. When i load it all I get when I visit my blog is the text of my blog with no formatting etc. I have created the required pages but still to no avail. I have reinstated the old conections theme in the meantime. Just wondering if you could point out where the problem might be? I have not seem anyone else in your comments with the same problem.
Thanks in advacen.Ed
December 30th, 2005 at 7:19 am
Hi Edmund,
It’s hard to see what exactly is the problem without my theme activated.
Anyway, I kind of understand that the theme doesn’t display, simply text. This would happen if you haven’t uploaded the files properly or if you have a cache problem.
Try to check your theme on another browser or better still on someone else’s computer.
If you are game activate my theme and let me know so that I can check it out.
