Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Installed this, set nodes per row to 4, tried with 2 columns and 3 columns and I'm still unable to get articles to load with the side bar or vice versa.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Seems like things fall apart when you move off of the default.css.  I use the blue theme and that's when everything hits the fan if it helps with a fix.
Nope, never mind, I have nodes per row 4, set only the slideshow and featured to show up
4 in the slide show 8 in the featured
and everything blew up.

Custom Background

Apply Background from Top - Not letting save changed State ( I checked it and saved it and when I try to save unchecked it will not save.

Changing Background Color - Saving does not save changes

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

you can fix the problem of conflict of Stream Video Player plugin and arras? for me is the best plugin for everyone...

I only see “(video)” on my blog, why?

With some WordPress themes when you are browsing your blog, doing a search or any other thing that shows multiple post on one page you may see only the word “(video)” instead of the actual video BUT in a single page with a single post you can see your video, the reason to this behavior is to prevent some XHTML issues because the theme you are using is running the function “the_excerpt()” instead of “the_content()”, the “the_excerpt()” function cut a post in a small pice of text and because this plug-in generate XHTML code it could lead to a disaster in terms of code when a XHTML tag is not closed, a solution could be to use other plug-in that replaces the “the_excerpt()” function or to change your theme code to run “the_content()” instead of the “the_excerpt()” combined with the use the “<!–more–>” comment tag in your content.

Your snow plugin has a Javascript syntax error, which is breaking all other scripts.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Does anyone know if you're currently using Arras Theme 1.5.0.1 and Wordpress 3.2 and you want to update to Wordpress 3.3.1, is it best to first update the theme to Arras 1.5.2-RC2 or update the theme to 1.5.1.1 and then update to each them release after that?

And then after all that, update to Wordpress 3.3.1?

Thank you!!

I haven't done this myself so I can't provide a good opinion. I would run a test install of the same setup and give it a go before I ran it on my public site.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

after upgrading to 1.5.2-RC2, my front page looks weird in node based:

it seems that over three posts in node based the alignment gets all screwy.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

also, in the arras options, clicking "uncheck all" actually checks everything.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Is there any new controls/options in the latest theme to allow for control of the width of the body or side bars more effortlessly?

Thank you,

Not currently. You can look forward to those kinds of features in Arras 1.6, which has no ETA.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Try setting the number of nodes per row to 2 as it is the default number of nodes per row in the 3-column layout. If you wish to have more than 2 you will need to adjust the width of your thumbnails.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Hi,

I also have the issue of the controls not working on the slideshow/scroller. I tried disabling all plugins and still did not work. It is only on the Arras installs that are using the newest version. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Where are you seeing this? And are you saying the line IS there and shouldn't be because it is not an actual function, or that it should be in there and needs to be added to the functions.php file?

Thanks for your reply btw

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

I'm not entirely sure either way. I think it needs to be there, but it is broken. I see the bug in the javascript console of firebug.

Re: Arras Theme 1.5.2-RC2 Now Available

Ahh, ok.

Also, I just confirmed that it isn't any of the changes I made to the theme because I just tested the downloaded and installed copy of the new Arras on a site with 2 posts and no plugins and it does the same thing.

If that is the case though, how am I the only one having the issue? lol

Hello

Before I installed this theme I had in the header menu link to home but now I've searched around the forum and could not find any concrete solution. Is there anyone who can help me how I get the home button again. I made it in the custom menu in wp admin but it does not appear.

Thanks in advance

On the Menus page in your Dashboard...First you must create and name your menu. Then on the left side of the page you will see "Theme Locations". The top dropdown box is marked, "Main". Choose your new menu you that you just named in that dropdown box and click the Save button right underneath it. This will load your newly created menu in you Arras navbar.

Hope that helps.
