but it’s not meant to be a amazingly sexy theme with graphics and galleries, but a basic (minimalistic?) theme that has loads of functionality.

If someone wants to create a design for it and get 40% of any income then your welcome too have a go.

Make your theme 2.x compatible e.g. use the if (function_excists()); command e.g.

 <?php if(function_exists('add_custom_background')) add_custom_background(); ?>

Yeah. You can’t have PHP tags within PHP tags.

Oops big boo boo, no idea how I missed that lol

Try this:

 <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=&exclude='.$id); ?> 

It Works

Thanks a lot

I am using the wp_get_categories in a navigation but there is one theme I want to block, I know I can exclude it by using the ID of it but I don’t want to tell people to edit a file to remove the category from the list.

I found a way to do it but doesn’t work

<?php  
 $id = get_cat_id('blog');  
 $q = "cat=" . $id;  
?>

 <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=&exclude=<?php echo $q ?>'); ?> 

But it shows up as No categories, instead of the list of categories!

Any ideas welcome

Finally got it uploaded to a website, so can see it in the flesh, mainly ironing out bugs and adding functions.

Will have a options panel with options to change the facebook url, twitter url, and a load of other stuff (any ideas appreciated)

The title will have a newspaper based font, not the current one (works fine in html version but not in wp version for some reason)

I am not a designer so might not be the best looking site, it’s main purpose is to be a really feature full news theme.

Look into SSI to do includes with html templates.

I agree Mark but as he is UK based, it would be far easier to contact a UK host than an american host if something goes wrong.

Trust me it’s a pain, I had to contact an american host for a client and it’s an awful experience.

It’s down to what he wants more, support or price. US hosts are generally cheaper than UK alternatives but the support is generally better and easier with a UK host.

why not put it as a background and make all the content above it transparent to see the image.

Justhost do but I would get a UK host if you can
