Go to http://www.yoshiuniversum.de/wp-admin/options-media.php and tick box marked “Auto Embeds” then it will work.
Although, it would be easier to include an option to exclude certain categories from the slider, or to make “Category to show in slider” option a series of check boxes rather than a drop-down, so multiple categories could be selected. But that would probably be a lot of coding….
Thanks!
Embarrassed grin — Clear the cache — can’t believe I didn’t follow my own advice.
Secondary Menu — knew it was right in front of my eyes. Thank you.
So far, that’s all I’ve noticed odd. 1.4 is definitely a winner. I love the new post types, although now I will exclude status update posts from the slider.
Thanks again for all your hard work. It is appreciated.
Firebug makes it very, very, very easy to find out exactly what elements you are working with. I do a lot of custom CSS and without Firebug I would have to do a lot more guesswork and spend a lot more time. I highly recommend that anyone interested in altering the theme download Firebug (it’s free) and spend a few minutes learning to use it. The learning curve is very gently, believe me.
If you use Google Chrome, it has a similar feature already built it. Go to Tools >> Developer Tools, and something similar to Firebug will appear.
If all you are doing is changing the appearance, and you are reasonably comfortable with writing (or copying/adapting) CSS, then just using custom CSS is the best way to go. If you need to change the functionality of the theme, then you would want to use a child theme.
I used to use a different theme, and created a child theme to change the appearance. Once I realized that I didn’t really want to get into the PHP, but just change the CSS, I looked around for a theme that allowed me to enter custom CSS, which is what Graphene does, and it does so beautifully.
For some reason, mostabear.info is not showing up in DNS. Did you mean “mostabear.com“?

Also, how do I add a description for the “Home” page?
> * Added option to show social sharing buttons at the top or bottom of posts
> * Added support for “status”, “audio”, “image”, and “video” post formats
These are AWESOME! Thank you!
And the new validator code worked beautifully as well.
> * Removed W3C code validation icons
I never really had a problem with this. I kind of liked it, actually. And you took out your name! I like to give credit where credit is due.
> * Completely rewritten the CSS for navigation menus making it much simpler and less
redundant
> * Improved header navigation menu styling to accommodate menu item description
> * Added the ability to display short description for each menu item in the Header Menu
I don’t know…when I view my test site in Firefox I get a weird gradient that makes the menus hard to read. I do not see this in Safari or Chrome. (Screen snip here.)
Also, the descriptions for child pages just run into the title. They are not on a separate line in smaller text. This is true in all browsers that I use: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Seamonkey.
Also, how are you getting that second line of navigation options? That one that starts “In the News” in this screenshot. I am not seeing that anywhere. It is probably so obvious that I am overlooking it.
Love the update in general. Thanks for all your hard work!
Also, custom CSS is not saving. I add it, save it, and view my site, and it looks beautiful. But then if I alter any other settings, the custom CSS disappears.
I added text-shadow to my header text, and it was there, but now if you look, the header is plain.
For some reason, 1.4a is not handling my social sharing code very well.
I copied this code from my book blog, where it works very well:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4d9b277415c98d35"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->and posted it to my science blog, where I am testing the new theme, and it shows up as this:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};
<!-- AddThis Button END -->which doesn’t work. For some reason, the new theme is stripping out the javascript components which make it work.
