Jeepers, that was seriously confusing! I set up a copy of SM on my local machine and made a few small changes to try to fix the preview problem. Amazingly it worked first time. So I started undoing the changes to find the individual culprit, but I was able to undo ALL the changes and it still worked.

So I ended up with two identical folders, one, called skimmedtest which reliably previewed & one called skimmedmilk1.2 which showed blank! Of course I checked and rechecked the contents and file permissions and invisible/hidden files to find a difference.

Finally I realised that it’s the folder name itself. Seems there’a a bug in WP2.6 so that it can’t cope with a dot in the theme directory name.

So if you want to fix the previewing problem just change the folder name to skimmedmilk12 or skimmedmilk or whatever you like. But be sure to reselect the theme in the wordpress admin system or your site might be left blank (due to the theme folder failing to be found under its old name).

OK, I’ve upgraded here to 2.6 and can see the blank preview problem. If anyone knows of any other issues that need fixing, now, while I’m tinkering, is a good time to let me know. Ta

Thortz, Took your advise and gave it a try. It seems to work just fine (only the preview didn’t). I’ll test out the features and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks for letting me know, Mark. I’ll try to find time to tackle 2.6 tomorrow. I can’t imagine that switching in the theme will damage anything though - the admin system always uses its own look, so you won’t lose control to switch back even if everything seems to disappear.

Thortz, Love the theme but it doesn’t seem to work properly with 2.6. I installed it on 2.6 and when I go to Design->Themes and click on it, it’s supposed to give a preview (which it does) of your site with the new theme. However, it’s totally blank (all white). I haven’t activated it as I was a bit nervious I would not get it back properly. Any ideas? Thanks again.

No problems reported so far but I don’t know for sure; I’ll probably update this site some time next week.

Thanks Thortz. Noticed there is an update for Wordpress to 2.6. Will this have any impact on Skimmed Milk?

Mackie - as far as I remember you can add class=”alignleft” to your img tags in the code view (or class=”alignright”) when you are writing a post. If you want all images to show this behviour then alter the img entry in the css file.

Dmitri - if you don’t like the colours they’re the easiest to change.

Thanks for creating a great template. Question: how do we modify settings so text wraps images? I looked at the style sheet but wasn’t sure what to change.

Thanks!
