Topic: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Just a guide how to fix those pesky bugs here so there's no need to create a new topic on the same bug over and over.  smile

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible if you have broken your theme during the patching. If you do not feel safe doing these patches yourself, please wait for the next bugfix release. smile

Update: Small patch for the first two bugs is available for download as an attachment here. Simply extract and override the files.

Navigation sub menus appearing under the featured slideshow

Under css/styles/default.css and css/styles/legacy.css, look for line:

#featured-slideshow        { position: relative; height: 250px; margin-right: 20px; }

Change to:

#featured-slideshow        { position: relative; height: 250px; margin-right: 20px; z-index: 0 !important; }

Background image does not cover the whole body of the website when there's little content

A lot of changes for this one. Best bet is to download the attachment.

If you really need to edit the code manually, check this out:
http://code.google.com/p/arras-theme/so … ail?r=193#

Footer widgets' list items are of the same height

Under js/header.js.php, find the line:

$('#footer ul').equalHeights();

Change it to:

$('#footer sidebar').equalHeights();

Other Bugs (fixed for 1.4.2):

  • One column layout has alignment issues

  • 'Hide Text' function in 'Custom Header' not working

  • Alignment issues in default node style (fix not confirmed)

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

You know that I'm happy for these fixes. It's good to see your providing more support for this wonderful theme.

Thanks a bunch and I'm glad I can help out.

There is still a small problem with the little content pages. It looks like it's now fixed when you scroll, however it's not starting at the very top of the page. (If that makes sense?) See the attached screen shot. The problem is highlight in red.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

This current solution has its flaws: the background image is set on a fixed height. I'm still finding a better solution to this problem.

For now what you can do is to play with the number:

$posy = 112;

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Not a biggie. I'll play with the posy number. I'm just trying to help get the theme right on a testing site before I go public with it. I'll wait until you've mastered a solution  wink

Attached a patch ZIP package for the first two bugs at the original post. Simply override the files in the themes folder.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Hmm seems like the custom body CSS class WordPress is generating is clashing with the theme's. Try deleting that post and re-creating a new one.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Featured Posts #1 Bug

It appears that something is forcing my posts to display incorrectly. I'm assuming it's how the text in the first post is longer than the others and it's forcing the post below it to go down further to a new row. See the attached image.

Since there are some changes that go on behind the scenes that I'm not sometimes aware of, I've decided to start using the latest subversion of your theme (1.4.X) based on updates via the twitter feed.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Using the multiple sidebar layouts messes up the featured slideshow arrows, the right one doesn't render and the left one is set low, also when you hover over the slideshow the preview text shifts past the right margin

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Hi
thanks for the theme. It's a great one. Didn't see that many problems yet.

I have one with localization. I use WPML, I have translated all strings but some are still not showing up.

I've seen 3 so far

HOME
LATEST POSTS
FEATURED POSTS

I know that for the two last I have to enter them in the options of Arras.
I know that WPML found the strings to translate (about them)

What exactly I can do for the translation to show up?

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

I found a fix. I use now qTranslate instead of WMPL. It's much better for a multilingual site. Easier & quicker to use.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Could be a plug-in probelm. Try disable all plug-ins and tell us if the slideshow is still out.

I had that when some plug-ins are using javascript and write them into the page. I even had that once when I decided to use the statistics from my provider. They were writing some scripts on each page and the slideshow disappears. I had to cancel that.

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

thank's tabaluga,
I did your recommendation, the problem is with the plugin Multi-level Navigation Plugin. So now I have another problem, since this plugin greatly improves the sensitivity of the drop down menu, among other things.
Any suggestions?
Is rare at a time, because the same theme recommended
thank's again!

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

I have the Featured Content Gallery plugin instead of the featured slideshow, and my drop-down menus are appearing behind it.  Any suggestions?  I don't see the z-index in my style.css.

Hi,
I have the same problem and I'm also using WPML.
Is it easy to switch to qTranslate? Won't I loose any translated posts?
Another thing. I saw that you managed to have your top posts display in the respective language chosen. How did you do that? Which plugin are you using? I'm using Wordpress Popular posts for that and it displays the top posts from both languages which is not very good.
Can you give me any tips? Your sites look great!
Thanks

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

Can someone please help me. I have added a few posts and have had no response. I have a side bar on the left side of my website that I cannot remove. I don't know where it came from but I need it to be gone. Please take a look. www.danpowellsells.com

I'm seeing the issue in Safari

I'm having the same problem for my DiscDish.com site, and it's showing up in Mozilla and IE. I don't have Safari. I just upgraded to the most recent Wordpress and Arras theme yesterday (Wordpress 3.1.2 and Arras 1.5.0.1). I'm using the 3 col layout with sidebars on either side, and there are two problems with the slideshow:

1. Same as Magaman's in that the next.png button isn't showing up (although in mine, the prev.png looks likes it's in the right place).

2. The image isn't being brought down to the correct size for the slideshow. It's still in the 2 col size. In the Thumbnails tab on the Arras Options, I see that I can change the image size for the slideshow, but I can't find what the correct size should be. The featured.article.img code has 250 height and 640 width, which is the same as the 2 col size, but this slideshow is smaller. It looks like the theme didn't automatically change that for the 3 col layout.

Can you give me a fix for these?

For #2, if you can tell me what the height and width of the slideshow in the 3 col layout is, I can manually fix it in the Thumbnails option tab, I'm guessing.

For #1, I've checked the code and can't find any reason why it's not showing up, but I wonder if it has something to do with the image size issue. The next.png is set to be 610px away from the prev.png, which would be too big for this size. I tried lowering that number, but the next.png still didn't show up.

Here's my site: http://bit.ly/eGnvdn

And by the way, I love the new functionality you have in this version, especially the author links and pages, which is the primary reason why I upgraded. I had done our site with an older version of Arras, but didn't know about child themes then. This time I used a child theme!

Thanks so much for you help, and for the great theme. I really love it.
