Connections is a very popular Wordpress theme and there has been a bit of an issue getting it to work properly with WPG2. So, here’s an optimized version which should work nicely.

    Hey Aylwin! I _really_ enjoy the theme, thanks for your work!
    I had a comment/problem with the theme though.
    In both Opera and Safari the theme is cut off on the right side, that is, it’s constrained by the bounds of WordPress.
    Any suggestions? Here’s a screenshot for ya..

    Also, I’ve checked out the Connections Reloaded theme recently, and it seems like he has made some pretty nice changes to it, do you think you might release a WPG2 Connections Reloaded theme, or maybe the two of you might work together? Just wondering..
    Thanks in advance for whatever! Hasta pronto, -@

    Hi Ajay,

    I’ve now made a WPG2 optimized version of Connections Reloaded.

    Regarding your problem with the theme, there are lines in the style.css file that cause overflows to be hidden: overflow:hidden;

    If you remove these lines, gallery will extend beyond the right side of the theme. I think a cleaner solution would be to use 2 columns for album display instead of 3. Or, you could make the Connections theme wider to accommodate the 3 columns.

    THANKS, you’re awesome!
    I think I got it to work a little bit, but better that there’s a properly done (rather than a hacked-up) version available. :)
    2 columns wouldn’t allow as many pictures per page though. Hmm, making the theme wider? That’s a thought, but probably less desired since some folks will have smaller screens.
    I tried making the wpg2content wider, that looks interesting, as does disabling overflow:hidden, neither are probably considered the cleanest.
    If you have any thoughts let me know, otherwise I’m golden.
    Thanks again, that’s so great of you!!
    I hope nobody minds that’s there’s now three versions of the theme! :) (Connections, -reloaded, -reloaded-wpg2! :) Maybe some codebases should begin to merge or something. :)
