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

Re: [1.4.1] Compiled Bug Reports & Fixes

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

I'm seeing the issue in Safari

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

Hi amigos! I hope you can help me!!
I really try to find the solution, but i could. I think this is a recurring and beginer think, but is dificult for me...

1. my website is done in arras 1.4.1 and i don't know how or when the slideshow has stopped working. Not even the arrows appear.
2. I've been working a long time in this theme and I'm afraid to update and lose all the changes. There is a right way for this?

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!
