Hmm when you mentioned something of a community, I guess BuddyPress immediately comes to mind. I have not tried working on BuddyPress before though, so I can't judge whether it's a viable option compared to other gallery CMSes.

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.

@TITANFIRE: Drop me an email and I will send you a patched file for it.

There are many ways a hacker could attempt to gain access to your website and deface it. You might want to let your web host now and they might be able to investigate the source for you.

Some tips for the case of WordPress and Arras:

  • Ensure your WordPress installation is regularly updated, especially security updates.

  • If you are using prior to Arras 1.5.2, ensure that you have removed or patched the TimThumb script.

Any abnormalities in your server logs (404, 503, etc errors)? Do you have a link to your website so we could analyse what is being shown on the front page (assuming it's back online)?

Some options to consider to decrease CPU usage for loading the site:

  • Disable any unnecessary plugins and keep activated ones to the minimum.

  • Reduce the number of query calls by disabling certain sidebars and featured posts. Arras requires more CPU / DB usage due to the number of set of articles being retrieved compared to blog themes like TwentyEleven.

Hello,

I bought classical Gamer yesterday but I can't switch to white style. Is there a fix ?

http://www.arrastheme.com/forums/post31881.html#p31881

Fix for custom background image not working:

Go to arras-classical-gamer/functions.php, comment the following lines (add // before the start of the line) so it will look like this:

//remove_action('arras_custom_styles', 'arras_add_custom_background');
//add_action('arras_custom_styles', 'cg_add_custom_background');

Hi, the slideshow stopped working after the update.

Any help to fix it would be great

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

Ensure that the folder permissions for Classical Gamer is set to 755 or it will not display in the themes selection page.

@ned4spd8874: are you still having the same problem after using 1.5.2?

Arras does not use the built-in WordPress custom background feature for its custom background functionality, so using add_custom_background() will not work.

Closer!  That seems to have fixed the coloring issue.  Now the only two remaining issues that I can see is somehow my widgets are not showing alongside the nodes.  But the more major issue is I can't seem to set a background image.  When I select my image, it doesn't stick.  When I go into "Custom Background", it won't keep it's settings.

It's been couple days with no updates on our issues.  Any way we could please get a status update on our issues?

The layout and 'Custom Background' issue should be fixed with Arras 1.5.2-RC2. Another RC for Classical Gamer is being tested and should be out soon that addresses the current issues.

Sorry. sad

Did you set the number of nodes per row in the theme options?

There's an option for number of nodes per row? Where? I see Tapestry type, which I set to node, and then post count, but that controls the total number of posts to be included in that section - not the number per row.

I must be blind. Sorry. I can't find an option for the number of nodes on each row.

It's under the Layout tab in the theme options.

The theme is not directing the child theme stylesheet correctly. I have fixed this in 1.5.2-RC2:

Key Features:

  • Added extra case for nodes per row setting in default tapestry to prevent division by zero errors

  • Fixed custom background image functionality; improved CSS declarations

  • Fixed theme not loading child theme CSS files properly

Current Issues:

  • None for now

Thank you for the fixes.  My site is 'back to normal' or as much as I can hope it to be.  I have another site running Arras standard...that's still a bit of a disaster.  Looks great, but none of my posts are showing on the front page regardless of playing with node counts, taxonomy and just about everything else.  If I change the tax to show pages instead of posts, the front page will show pages.  When I go back to posts, 1 of two things happen.  Either I get 2 posts (out of what should be about 15 on the main page), I can't scroll the slideshow, and all of my sidebar stuff is missing, or, it just goes back to sidebars look normal but nothing but the title

It's an issue with the parent theme under the 'Nodes per Row' setting. Will post up a fix on that soon.

I've upgraded with Arras 1.5.0.1 to WordPress 3.3 with no problems.

solved.. there is no problem with wordpress 3.3. the problew was only caused by popularity contest plugin.. I miss this plugin

Remember that WordPress.com Popular Posts Plugin has replaced Popularity Contest for the multi-tabbed sidebar starting from 1.5.2 smile

Under functions.php, replace the PHP function cg_add_custom_background() (watch the braces!) to:

function cg_add_custom_background() {
    global $arras_custom_bg_options;
    
    if ($arras_custom_bg_options['enable']) {
        if ($arras_custom_bg_options['wrap']) $css_class = 'body';
        else $css_class ='#wrapper';
    
        if ($arras_custom_bg_options['id'] && $img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($arras_custom_bg_options['id'], 'full')) {
    ?>
    <?php echo $css_class ?> { background:<?php if($arras_custom_bg_options['id'] != 0) echo ' url(' . $img[0] . ')'; ?> <?php echo $arras_custom_bg_options['pos-x'] . ' ' . $arras_custom_bg_options['pos-y'] . ' ' . $arras_custom_bg_options['attachment'] . ' ' . $arras_custom_bg_options['repeat'] . ' ' . $arras_custom_bg_options['color']; ?>; }
    <?php
        } else {
            echo $css_class . ' { background-color: ' . $arras_custom_bg_options['color'] . '; } ';
        }
    }
}

Do you have a live link available so I could see it?

For those having issues changing the style of the theme, go to functions.php and replace line 117 from:

if ( !isset( $scheme ) || !file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/styles/' . $scheme . '.css' ) ) $scheme = 'black';

to:

if ( !isset( $scheme ) || !file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/styles/' . $scheme . '.css' ) ) $scheme = 'black';

Will be releasing another RC for both Arras and CG once I get all the issues sorted out with.

What version of Classical Gamer are you using? You need 1.0.3-RC2 to run on Arras 1.5.2-RC1.

Go to settings and set your nodes per row to more than 0. (Bad oversight there for me sad)
