Hi, it’s tom here, I emailed you from blackbox2342.

I just realised that the the reason the theme has gone weird is because it isn’t recogonising that we have any categories : (

If I give you an admin pass onto our site do you think you can have a look to see why it won’t work?

Our site is here at http://theweirdpixel.com/

It was picking up all the categories until I edited the colour setting in functions.php

Many thanks in advance!

T. R. Rhodes.

Due to a bug in WordPress 2.8, which stops categories from appearing in the drop-downs, this theme is not compatible with 2.8. Please upgrade your install to 2.8.1. This bug has affected loads of similar themes as well – it’s not a bug with the theme.

You can trick your WordPress install to automatically upgrade to the WordPress 2.8.1 beta:
Go into wp-includes/version.php and change $wp_version from 2.8 to 2.8.1-beta and then visit Tools-Upgrade.

Any word on a new (GamesPress 3 I guess) update for the theme?

Hey Dan, recently purchased the them, great work! I sent you a message through here because of some problems and help with the theme, but I don’t know if you have received it or not. Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks

Ahh that sucks! :(

Is their a fix to the CSS yet? Where if you had to many widgets the sidebar would go all out of wack?

I’m not aware of such a problem with the widgets.

Are you using the Text widget? Unfortunately that one messes everything up (unless you set a Title for it, I believe).

I will have to try that, also I upgraded my WP install to 2.8.1 as you recommended above and the problem still exists, even worse categories refuse to show up in the themes options.

Your problem with the sidebar breaking is because you’re using a Text widget (which unfortunately isn’t supported by the theme).

As for categories not displaying in the theme options, are you sure you’ve upgraded to 2.8.1, as that problem is not an issue with GamePress, but with WordPress 2.8.
The categories issue was fixed for 2.8.1.

Any chance of releasing a quick fix that allows support in the near future? If it’s possible of course, I haven’t coded a Wordpress theme for quite some time now.

I’m 99% positive I did but I will try again later tonight and tell you of my results.

As far as I’m aware, it’s not possible. Only workaround is to add a Title to your text widget (click Edit on the widget). Otherwise, the theme closes an extra div tag which should be there, but isn’t. Thus causing it to close the sidebar div instead.

The upgrade to 2.8.1 will fix the categories issue, though. Unless, the WordPress team have messed it up again in the most recent 2.8.1 release :S

Adding text to all widgets fixed it, I will try some old 2.8.1 builds tonight.

The official 2.8.1 build was released yesterday, it fixed the issues!

Hi Dan

This is an amazing template with a lot of functionality, thanks for the well written documentation.

Get the gamepress forum working live and i’ll consider getting it… however I must say I’m still tempted with the screenshots!

Looking forward to experimenting with this template.

Hi Dan

The RSS feeder does not work on my Gamepress, it does not give me the list of News and other categories, do you have any idea ?

danharper

This sounds like a problem with your WordPress install, rather than GamePress.

Hi Dan, each post I make using the Gamepress template seems to say something like this:

“Uncategorized – by admin – July 9, 2009 – 15:02 America/Denver – 1 Comment”

How do I get rid of or change the “America/Denver” part?

Thanks

I know you may be busy but the question I asked above is of high priority to me and I asked you that almost 10 days ago, I would really appreciate a solution, please respond.

Thanks

danharper

Sorry, someone else emailed me asking the same question around the time of your first comment, so I assumed that was you.

The easiest way would be to do a simple ‘Find and Replace’ in your favourite text-editor.

Search for:
the_time('F j, Y - H:i e')
Replace with:
the_time('F j, Y - H:i')
Do this on the following files:
  • archive.php
  • index.php
  • page-features.php
  • page-new.php
  • page-previews.php
  • page-reviews.php
  • page.php
  • single-feature.php
  • single-news.php
  • single-previews.php
  • single-reviews.php

Yeah, quite a few files, but there should only be one occurrence in each file.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks a lot, yeah it’s quite a few files but luckily it’s a straight forward fix!

Hi Dan, I have GamePress version 1 and WordPress 2.6, I want to upgrade WordPress to the new 2.8, but I wondered if my theme version will be okay? I’m afraid to download newer version of GamePress as I’ve customized so much of version 1.

It’s ok, I upgraded my WordPress and all is well. I do want to upgrade GamePress though, all I really want isthe drop down boxes in the menu, anyway to get just that?

danharper

Sorry, I no longer have the original GamePress v1 files, and can’t quite remember what changes were made.

What code are you using to resize the Featured images? Not the HTML code but the other one. I’ve been trying to use it on the postimg section but all the combinations I’ve tried so far do not work! So far I’ve simply resorted to using “w=225” :P

I am pretty dense here.

Can you tell me where to change the title?

Thanks.
