i just purchased “wpmanagerdx” which is a very cool WP management program for installing and maintaining WP across domains.

Flexibility is the only theme which doesn’t work with it, there must be some odd incompatibility, maybe having to do with CSS and 100% WP2.7 compatibility?

I have many other standard themes and they all work, but my FAVORITE (flexibility) just wont display right when i isntall a blog with wpmanagerdx.

Also, if i install a blog with wpmanagerdx and i try to install the theme manually afterwards, it still doesnt display right.

i would VERY much appreciate if we can fix this, i will gladly help in finding the issue and why it wont display right.

I too love your theme! Life is ALWAYS best with options – and Flexibility offers a lot of options, so thanks for creating it. You’re clearly someone who likes to use his noggin – and who takes a logical approach to simplify complex things. The web needs more like you!

Anyway, groupie adoration aside, I DO have an issue. (<;

It’s about having a static front page. I believe I have that set-up correctly, as my desired page loads as the home page. The problem is, that I also included a link to the blog part of my site at the bottom of the front page. And when I click on that link (mydomain/blog), all that happens is the front page reloads in a new window. I also have Terms, Contact and Privacy page links there that DO work (opening to individual pages, not the posts, of course). I swear, I’ve probably spent 10 hours reading and viewing tutorials on this stuff, but none seem to cover my issue. Also, most are from much earlier versions of WP. There are also several differing opinions as to how to do it effectively.

Rather than tell you what I did to get it this far, maybe you could provide a simple (but thorough) breakdown on how to do the entire process with Flexibility from scratch? Or maybe just how to get the link mentioned above to open up the posts portion of the blog?

I’d really appreciate it and will gladly slide some cash your way to comp you for your time and effort.

Thanks,

Perhaps captions are not supported in Flexibility, but if you have any ideas for a quick fix, I would appreciate it. I do like having captions now and then.

Thank you for a great theme.

My current solution for IE6 is to keep the header and navigation transparency using the TwinHelix fix, but then strip out the background images from other places in the theme since many are repeating images, which can cause issues. Especially for blog background images, which can hang IE6 for awhile.

I’ll check into SuperSleight as a better solution. Look for the new version hopefully early next week. It supports 2.7 threaded comments, uses jQuery colorpickers in the control panel, custom header height, easily use a custom header image, choose from many included header backgrounds, easily change colors theme-wide with one selection and much more. The theme is more stylish than v1 as well.

In IE 6, png transparency is not supported. That means that the header is framed in a white square and, frankly, looks horrid. While “this site is best viewed in” is one way of getting around it, I feared that IE6 users (whom I expected to be a larger percentage of my userbase) would immediately leave the site for another resource. That’s bad for sales.

Web developer Drew McLellan wrote SuperSleight (http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6) to deal with this very issue. Extrapolating from his web page instructions, I placed an “if” line in the header.php file (just above ), copied his scripts into the Flexibility Theme folder, and then saved/relaunched all.

The theme now looks wonderful in both Firefox 3 and MS 6.

Note, IE 7 has completely resolved its png conflicts, so the file renders well in up-to-date browsers.

Thanks, Flexibility, for your work. (I do plan to donate.)

I didn’t extensively test the theme in 2.7, I just verified that the theme would work after the upgrade or in a new install. There are some little tweaks I’ll be making on the next version, also hopefully adding in support for threaded comments, so I’ll check out the top sidebar issue then.

Thanks!

Fortunately I want the top sidebar box there but if I didn’t, I’d be pulling my hair out. And in the meantime I am going to hard-code my title/text into home.php. However this is a bug that does need to be fixed.

Thanks for your great work!! This really is a terrific theme.
