Aylwin,
thanks…
-found the &&t, it seems to show up sometimes when i edit files in the wordpress theme editor…? who knows.

-i figured out the code for the search prefill

-my only question now…is if you browse to the gallery, all the thumbnails are listing right next to one another with no buffer zone…is that a WPG2 header issue as well?

thanks

Brett, my answers:

1. I don’t see any “&&t” in the footer. Perhaps you can explain more?

2. It’s not a column separator problem. The custom WPG2 header isn’t being taken into use. You probably need to verify WPG2 again. This is done by simply navigating to the WPG2 admin menu.

3. I can see that the search box is already prefilled with “To search, type and hit enter”. If your question is how to modify this then check sidebar.php or search.php.

Aylwin, First off, thanks for your hard work. I have three questions for ya:
1. I made some changes to the footer, and the template (adsense) and now have a pesky &&t that shows up…i tried to undo the changes, and it persists.

2. I also am having the same column separator problem on the gallery page, and i have the latest theme from you.

3. same as the first question on this thread….how to prefill the search box.

Thanks

Sorry about that. I probably fixed that problem after the release. Anyway, I’ve updated it now so please download again.

Hey Aylwin. Thanks for doing these. I’ve downloaded Chaotic Soul and it looks great but for one thing: on the gallery page, there’s that column separator for the sidebar still showing up. It doesn’t show on your test site in the same way. Is there a setting in Gallery2 that you changed to make that work? Or something in WordPress?

Hi Aylwin, I also got confused by the “aylwin’sdevsite” header at first. I read above how I can put my own title there. But what if I don’t want to hard-code that? Could I somehow refer to the name of the WP blog? Thanks!

Thank you Aylwin. I have some ideas I will look at later today. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this!

Arthur, sorry for not responding. I tried to look for the relevant CSS class for the sideblock but couldn’t find it. And then I forgot about it. I hope you were eventually able to figure this out. If not, it might be easier if you just contact the original author of theme.

Leigh,
1) To change the site name in the header just look for “aylwin’s” and “devsite” in both header.php and wpg2header.php. Then replace the text with your site’s name.
2) I’m not sure what you mean but the directly link to your embedded gallery is /wp-gallery2.php. Example: http://dev.cal-family.org/wp-gallery2.php

Hi Aylwin,

Thanks for for this theme…. very cool.
I do have two problems which i’m hoping you could help me out with.
1) i can customise the heading (ie. i can’t change “aylwin’sdevsite” on the header).
2) the gallery is embedded but i’m not sure how to create a direct link.

hope you can help.
