In reply to: Error trying to update to V 1.8.3

#45455

I’m having the same error, and yes the API was missing somehow, which is weird since i entered it about a month ago, maybe i should report a bug on that.

Anyway, i entered the API key (again), saved and tried to update again, nothing changed, i get the same error.

While writing this i tried it again but this time i tried it in the Appearance tab (before it was the wordpress updates tab) and this time it worked, don’t know if that had anything to do with it.

Which version of IE? There’s no point in supporting IE6, and even IE7 is on its way out. But the only version of IE that even comes close to fully supporting CSS3 is IE10. This is an issue with IE (and Microsoft’s reluctance to produce something that behaves according to widely accepted standards), rather than the theme, or even WordPress. Nevertheless, this should work in IE10. See this:

I have IE9 right now, but i don’t use it (i uses Firefox 22) but the point is that other visitors to the site might. (i hear that Safari isn’t too accepting of the widely used standards either)

And i know it’s not a Graphene or WordPress bug.

Question: can i add any custom css changes in that field ? or just stuff that has to do with the style sheet ?

I’m not sure what you mean here. The only thing that goes in a style sheet is CSS, so the answer to both questions is yes, unless I am misunderstanding something here.

What i mean is CSS entered in the field only changes settings in the style.css file, it can’t for example change settings in the footer.css file, right ? either way i do these changes in the files themselves not that field, although is should probably use it more.

i haven’t looked into how to make child themes as of yet, but i really should

Instructions are here:

http://docs.graphene-theme.com/Customisation_using_a_child_theme

Is there a Graphene childtheme template i could download somewhere ?

Prasanna has one here:

Thanks, i’ll give it a try when i have some spare time.

I know that people who don’t code always think that something should be “easy to implement”, but it’s often not. Sometimes adding one feature interferes with current features. It takes a lot of alpha and beta testing to get new versions out, and even then, there are issues that don’t get noticed until it’s in wider release.

I do code in the sense that i change a lot of things and do basic HTML (specially involving div tags), i know it’s not super easy, but whatever the code used those color fields change a color code somewhere right ? then if i write “none” instead of the color code the background should disappear right ? and the main content wrapper or whatever background is under it should appear. (i haven’t tried this, but it would be awesome if it worked)

Adding custom transparency (with the use of opacity settings) that you suggested, would be even more awesome.

Go to Graphene Options >> Display Options >> Header Display Options and untick the box marked “Use light-colored header bars”, which is irrelevant at this point. Your menu items should appear in the proper color.

Thanks, it works now, but still, there is no reason that should affect it, so i still call it a bug.

Add this to custom CSS:

#footer {background gradient codes;}

Thanks i’ve tried it before, but it doesn’t work on IE so i left it 1 color, same thing with gradients in “colored boxes”

Um, you mean through a child theme style sheet or through Custom CSS.

Custom CSS, i haven’t looked into how to make child themes as of yet, but i really should, i almost always make the same edits, and it’s a pain when updating (have to redo them)

Is there a Graphene childtheme template i could download somewhere ? that way i wouldn’t have to learn what php to use.

If you would like, feel free, although there are no guarantees as a number of these things can be handled via the theme options or a child theme.

So can a lot of other things.

Another feature i could have used is having transparency instead of some of the colors (like header, main content wrapper etc) (i know a little bit of custom css could fix that) And it should be pretty easy to implement, just have a tick box named “Transparent” that changes the hex code to “none”

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.
