Hi,

A couple things to try:

1. Go to Settings > Permalink, and resave the permalink settings.

2. Deactivate all plugins (except the Mobile Smart plugin) and see if the problem persists.

Let me know if any of the two above solves the issue, or if they didn’t. Then we’ll take it from there.

The link to the wiki is here:

http://wiki.khairul-syahir.com/graphene-theme/wiki/Main_Page

Though I am not sure if what you’re looking for is there yet. The wiki is a work in progress. Graphene 1.6 will include a link to the wiki in the options page.

If you’re using a child theme, just add this code inside your child theme’s functions.php file (create one if you don’t have it):

<?php

function graphene_remove_scripts(){

wp_dequeue_script( 'graphene-jquery-tools' );

}

add_action( 'init', 'graphene_remove_scripts', 100 );

?>

Not sure if it’s gonna fix the issue with the other tab plugins. It’s best to use just one plugin for one particular purpose.

Graphene 1.6 is in the beta testing period now, so expect another two weeks or so before it is released.

But if you like, you can try it now:

doesn’t flexible width allow the website to configure to different computer screens correctly?

Yes, but this is a lot more difficult and complex to implement, particularly when coupled with allowing the user to customise the width of each column. Everything will then have to be in percentage instead of pixels, and issues will arise with the positioning and sizing of various elements, such as the fields in the comment area, and threaded comments, etc.

Furthermore, you can only increase the width so much before it gets too wide and readability suffers. This is the same reason newspaper and magazines lay out their content in columns, rather than spanning across the entire width of the page. It is simply easier to read in a few narrow columns than one big column.

Most computer screens today have a resolution bigger than 1024px horizontally, which is why the 960px width is chosen for the theme. This allows for good readability in those with bigger screens, while still avoiding users with smaller screens from having to scroll horizontally.

Ideally, the theme would have flexible width but limited up to a certain maximum width. This solves both the smaller screen issue while allowing those with bigger screens to utilise the available space optimally, without suffering from decreased readability. However, like I said, this is rather complex to implement, particularly when coupled with the option that allows users to resize the width of each column. For the time being at least, the use case is just not there for it to be worth the effort.

Full-width template means the theme includes a template that allows the content area to span the entire width of the theme, i.e. one-column layout, with no sidebars. The tag for fluid-width layout is flexible-width, under the Width column on the tag and filter interface.

Note also that with the upcoming version 1.6, there’s an option that allows you to modify the overall width and column widths of the theme, though there’s no option for fluid width still. This is simply a design and readability decision.

Hurm..yes, it does seem to be a conflict with the jQuery Tools library, since both jQuery Tools and jQuery UI Tabs uses the same name for tabs functionality, .tabs().

However, the jQuery Tools library is needed for the slider on the front page, and it is unnecessarily loaded for all the other pages (this will be fixed in Graphene 1.6). Removing the jQuery Tools library seems to have fixed it.

I just tested using the Post UI Tabs plugin, and it works fine after I saved the settings at least once in WP Admin > Settings > Post UI Tabs.

There’s no feature in the Graphene theme to use fluid width. Where did you see this?

You don’t have a topic for 1.6 beta? Okay, I create this.

We have now moved from using the forum for reporting bugs and issues during the testing period to using a mailing list. This is so that everybody who subscribed to the mailing list will receive the same email that everybody receives. It makes it easier for anyone to contribute to the discussion, and so that the same issue isn’t reported twice.

You can subscribe to the mailing list here:

1) In articles you could make a small border to left and right, like you made it on the top.

This, I believe is best left to the individual users to decide. It’s easy to add using Custom CSS.

2) The fontsize of the posttitle was better in graphene 1.5.

This is intentional to give more prominence to the title. It is also part of the layout refresh for that particular part of the layout (the horizontal line below the post title is removed, for example).

Quote:

The significantest of these three: In the new graphene (also on the homepage) is a big space between the posttitle and the text; and even more when I show the year of the date. Please make it smaller like it was in Graphene 1.5.

I don’t think there’s too much space:

However, there does seem to be a bit too much space when the year is included, so I’ve reduced the spacing by about 9px.

4) Perhaps you’ve already tried it, but I think the dateicon looks better, when you make it in blue-white instead of grey-black.

The grey-black icon is used so that it blends better regardless of how the user customises the theme’s colour. Many times I’ve seen the theme’s users customise the colours of the theme, and yet the date icon stays white and blue like a sore thumb.

Thank you for this great free theme.

You’re very much welcome 🙂

And is there any way to send PMs in this Forum?

Nope, bbPress doesn’t have that feature by default. I’m pretty sure there’s a plugin that can add that functionality, but I’ll only add it if there’s enough interest.
