It might be all in my head but it seems like this version loads quicker. Great theme as always.

I just tested it again with 1.4.2 and not problem.  Installed 1.4.3 not working.  Clear cache also.  I will try brand new install.

The plugin I use is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-slimbox2/

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

what is the best way to go about upgrading?  seems silly that i have to reload and reconfigure my whole setup after an upgrade.  getting everything reconfigured and redoing all my settings dissuades me from upgrading.

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

Hi, thanks for the update. Since upgrading to this version my images in the slideshow no longer fully occupy the whole frame. I now have a grey frame (which I want to remove) between the image and the main frame. I've tried removing it, but to no prevail. Any ideas on how I could get that done? Site (still in testing mode) here:

I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

Hey Zy i got something weird while testing the 1.4.3

Here are the details :

Arras option : Home > Featured Posts > All categories selected. / node based / Post count = 3

I got All my sticky post to be displayed + Post Count - 1 wink

I mean i have all my sticky post showing there but seems like counted only as 1 in the post count. then i've "Post Count" less 1 displayed.

If 3 sticky post i have 5 node based (3 "sticky post" + "Postcount =3" -1) = 5



Enjoy wink

Now that we've got version 1.4.3 out, is there no way we can get it to be totally compatible with the Popularity plugin (http://crowdfavorite.com/wordpress/plug … y-contest/), ie having it work without the AKPC_IDS += ... showing up at the end of post excerpts?

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

That's just great!

I have two remarks:

1) If the post have it's thumbnail(i.e. news post) - on mouse hover over a thumbnail we'll see image's name(something.jpg for example) - it looks ugly, so I've changed library/template.php lines 49-51

before:

if (has_post_thumbnail($id)) {
            return get_the_post_thumbnail($id, $size);
        }

after:

if (has_post_thumbnail($id)) {
            $title = get_the_title();
            return get_the_post_thumbnail($id, $size, array('title' => $title));
        }

Now we have cute tooltips on mouse hover smile

2) I was using "jQuery lazy load plugin" and averything was good in 1.4.2, but in 1.4.3.x it's won't work properlly with "featured post" carousel - the first image in array is shown only(in fact the other appear sometimes too, but I can't figure out why is it happening, lol)

Sorry for my english  big_smile

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

I'm trying to launch a site using this theme and I've updated to the latest version 1.4.3.1 and am unable to use my user.css (that I created for 1.4.2) to style it. I'm also concerned that the slideshow is not working anymore (worked in 1.4.2).

Thanks for writing this excellent theme. I'm excited to get this latest version up and running.

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

Everything is looking good, however...

I liked the custom header function better.

I liked to be able to have the option of hiding the text. The only problem was the size limits. The header image should have options to align it left, center or right and top or bottom along with an option to choose the size limits of the image.

The new custom logo option could be better if you had the option of showing or hiding text. Image alignment left, right or center along with top or bottom and custom height and width. (similar to the background) I also would like to see an option to link or not link the image to the website.

Great job otherwise and I look forward to the sample child theme you are working on.

Update: I read your tweet on how to get the custom header back, however you should still consider the new feature suggestions.

Hi
I am new to all this website malarky. First of all, congrats for the theme and the hard work everyone puts in, there are some really great themes!
I have only begun to use this last month, and slowly editing it to make it personalised. And now an upgrade has been released... What's the best way to upgrade my site? Do I have to start from scratch or is there an easy way to upload all the code in a single button...?
SO sorry if this a bit of a stupid post. =s my site is www.canvas.union.shef.ac.uk/wordpress - it's all political/uni related. Thanks guys.

Re: Arras Theme 1.4.3.1 Now Available

Hi extatix, thanks I've been able to upgrade the site... The main issue I have is with the header now, which is changed completely - I've uploaded the custom logo image, but how can I get rid of the rest of the grey that's still surrounding the header image?! Also, how do I change the grey box of the searchbar to be green like it used to be in the previous theme?
Thanks
