Hey guys! firstly I would like to say that I looooove Graphene Theme! After I discovered this one, everything else is just not the same. When I first used it was the 1.3, and it works absolutely perfect 🙂 and now after trying many other themes for another site, i decided to go for graphene again, and by now I installed the 1.8 version in it, but somehow the drop down menu just wont work. I tried in every possible way. eventually i kind of gave up and tried another themes, but none of the others are as much fun, so I decided is better to have graphene without dropdown menu than any other theme for this particular site, but I just cant help to keep trying to figure out why. I would love to be able to install the 1.3 version since that one works perfect, but thats not available. I dont know if I can post site here, but if you go to the “photos” page on my site, you will see that every session of the drop down menu somehow created this links on the bottom of the page instead. Is there a way I can find the 1.3 version?

@artistgirl – There’s a version 1.8.1. Maybe try that. I have that version as of today and drop down menus are fine. I had 1.8 as recently as yesterday and can’t recall if I had drop down menu problem or not. I had thumnails on the photo slider problem (with 1.8) but resolved for the most part with 1.8.1. I have another recent site with version 1.7.3 and I’ve had no issues at all with that. I would imagine you could find that version easily enough. The 1.8 versions have so much you can do right from the admin panel (custom color everything in great detail; and so easily), I’ve only gone into the CSS once! Personally I’d try 1.8.1 first; then maybe 1.7.3 second. I love graphene too. Thank you developer.

Hi – having a slightly different problem after installing the latest update –

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description

Graphene template is missing.

so its reverted to 2011.

And I love my graphene theme!

@RodL: I’ve had that happen before. On the child CSS, in the info on top, one time I wrote next to Template: Graphene (with a capital G) and got your error message. Then when I changed to lower case g it seemed to resolve. Also, I think it needs the rtl.css file in the child theme. Hope one of those suggestions help you. (I installed 1.8 and 1.8.1 and didn’t have problems with broken themes).

@RodL, if you’re not using a child theme, simply reinstall the theme since it seems like the update process was not completed properly.

HI,

Thanks for the suggestions, alas, still the problem persists. Getting the “An automated WordPress update has failed to complete” but clicking on attempt again is not resolving anything.

Its not showing up as an available theme, and when i search for it and try and re-install, it tells me its alraedy up to date.

Does this help at all?

thanks again, gang!

Switch to the default theme TwentyEleven, then delete the Graphene theme (in WP Admin > Appearance > Themes). Then install the Graphene theme again.

Wow, quick response!

Unfortunately its not showing in the Available Themes, just in a separate section underneath, titled Broken Themes, with no further options available.

Just tried reloading the zip file, came up with the folder already exists, tried renaming it to newgraphehe 1.8.1, got the same answer…

Do you have FTP access to the server? If yes then just delete the graphene theme folder and then reinstall it.

Hey guys! Thank you for suggesting upgrade to 1.8.1 in order for the drop down menu to work. I did, and still doest work, it only shows the links on the bottom of the page, its kind of hard to explain, but if you go to “photos” page you will see all the drop down menu items on the bottom of the page…. I use the 1.3 version in another site and the drop down menu works perfectly, so its not like I dont know how to set it up, and I revised all the options in this one about 100 times and still looks like that, and I thought about changing theme, but I like graphene too much and everything else is not as cool comparing with graphene, specially for this particular site. Is there a way I can find an older version wherre the drop down menu works? thank you 🙂
