To all the WordPress gurus: as you know, register_sidebar has a property called description since WP 2 .9. I can access that property in the widget code by using the $description variable, but is there a way to reference that variable in my theme?

What I would like to do is be able to show sort of a title for a widget ready area, without using other tricks or additional theme options. However, other ideas are welcomed as well.

Thanks!

I noticed there’s a WordPress theme that’s been accepted, although it advertises that it comes with a commercial JW player license.

It is my understanding that third party scripts or players that do not offer a “for resale” license cannot be used in a WordPress theme or site template. Even if the author purchased a commercial license, in the end they are only good for a fixed number of websites.

It’s not my intention to point any fingers here (that’s not me at all), I’m just hoping a reviewer can jump on this thread an provide an answer. Maybe I’m just missing something.

If this is an option, I would love to be able to use JW player or other scripts myself, as that would really help me cut some corners.

Thanks!

That’s weird i’m not seeing that bug. Will try to replicate the issue.

I’ve recorder a fast demo of the bug.

Same here!

I also agree with Ed in the sense that every project is different and in the end you have to look at the specifics of that project before making a decision.

I also have been looking at all kinds of frameworks and grid options, but in the end I went with a custom approach, that uses bits an pieces I found useful in other frameworks. Plays a lot like Skeleton though. You can see a work in progress version here: http://demo.canvasthemes.net/emptycanvas/

For making a layout adapt to mobile, the “fixed widths using media queries” approach works for me. If we’re talking about really optimizing a website for mobile, that’s a totally different story.

Yeah, add_image_size + get_the_post_thumbnail works nicely for post thumbnails. What about if you wanted to resize a certain image from the media library, that maybe isn’t part of that post / page? I use vt_resize now, but would love to know what you guys are using. Thanks!

So just the theme ZIP file. Cause the PSD / PNG sources are the large ones. Thanks!

Yeah… I reviewed all your opinions and I think I would go with this one: http://budurl.com/9r2q

The question is simple: since the ZIP file containing all the deliverables of a theme can get quite large, do we have to reupload everything? For a simple bug fix, can’t I just upload a ZIP of that particular file or at least only upload the them?

Not sure how things get (re)packaged once they are uploaded. Sorry if this was answered before.

Yeah, the menu bar definitely needs to stand out more, otherwise new comers will definitely miss the fact that it’s one of the key parts of the website. I would put the brown back up there!
