Before everything i want to wish all of you Merry Christmas with lots of joy(i know its a bit late), gifts and happiness and a happy new year! ![]()
On saturday you most probably taught that again problems occurred with the theme and i didn’t notify you about the delay, well nothing serious happened(we got drunk like pigs) , yesterday we fixed a few bugs and i was keeping the release for 25th december as a Christmas Present.
Well, all the drinking caused the delay and a bug that occurred in the last minute which was fixed today.
We worked a LOT on this theme, the basic idea of the theme is to offer bloggers a clean and sleek web 2.0 styled theme with unique and great features.
Please Digg this if you like the theme
Check out its features:
IMPORTANT! The Theme needs php 5.x to run! It will NOT run on php 4.x.
Support for PHP 4 will be discontinued at 2007-12-31. Please consider upgrading to PHP 5.2.
This means that all medium/major webhosts who run php 4.x will most probably upgrade to php 5!
IMPORTANT! Make sure you add a title to the text widgets!

Works flawlessly in all browsers(Firefox 1.x/2.x, Opera, IE 6, IE 7)
You will not have any sponsored links in the footer, only a link-back to my blog which i kidnly ask you to keep.
The font i used is a commercial font so i couldn’t include it in the pack, so we made a great tweak: the header image is automatically generated, so no image editing is required, just enter your blog’s title and tagline in your admin control panel.
The comment system is powered by sexy comments along with Karma Addon
The theme is using the Silk Icons Collection
The Theme is 100% compatible with Wordpress v 2.3.1!
Installation of the theme:
The insttalation of the theme is extremely easy and consists in 7 simple steps:
1) Download the zip archive and extract it.
2) Upload the contents of the “upload” folder to “wp-content” folder on your server.
3) Go to your admin panel and at “Presentation” activate the theme.
4) In admin panel at plugins activate Comment Karma and Sexy Comments
5) Add your widgets and enjoy the theme!

when i loaded theme it didnt worked ;
because Title generator is not working..
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_split() in /home/asitweb/public_html/wp-content/themes/chameleon/functions.php on line 87
when i remove
<a href=”">
from header.php its working normally. Any idea ?
Posted: Dec 31st, 2007 at 8:10 am
as said above: you need PHP 5.x to run the theme, php 4 doesn’t have the necessary fix to run the title generator

Love the theme. Exactly what we were looking for.
Perhaps I’m missing something, but I can’t seem to get the pages to order. From Admin->Manage->Pages I’ll edit a few pages and place values in the page order field and it doesn’t seem to have an effect on how they display? They don’t order via the page id, or alphabetically or by create date. Any ideas? We’re updated, v2.3.2

Hi,
Great theme, thanks. I’ve installed it to use in my blog but i have a very big problem using safari with it. The header isn’t see well (no blog title, no colour). Do you know what have i do to solve this?
thanks,
Posted: Jan 6th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Great theme! I’m also having a slight problem with this theme on my blog. The search feature doesn’t return any results for any search term like it does in the live demo. I’m confused. I’m not using any additional plugins that would affect the search.
Thanks.
Posted: Jan 6th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
@ yoloflipo - sorry, i can’t help you with the safari problem
@ Chris - please send me an email with a link to your blog, along with what version of PHP you are running and what version of wordpress you are using
cheers,
Tom

Hi again!
I don’t solve about the presentation in Safari, but I have two more problems (sorry for my english): This theme dosen’t have double space between lines in the post or diferent paragraphs?
thanks,

Nice theme, but i don’t know why don’t want to work in my page, btw i have php 5.x, and 1 more thing i create a new sidebar menu whit some advertise and in this menu i have a flash object, so when i try to close the menu all ads going off but the flash object is still up in sidebar.
Thanks a lot for the theme, and I think that u will fix this bug.
Posted: Jan 17th, 2008 at 6:51 am
as i visited your URL everything seems to be working fine
about the flash object: make sure it fits in the box and make sure you add a title to the box!
good luck,
Tom

Sorry for the delayed response- I really appreciate the quick fix- we’ve been traveling for the holidays and got slammed upon our return.
One other question- is there any way to have the comment form automatically displayed, without the reader clicking on the Comment link?
Thanks,
Greg

I can’t activate the Sexy Comments plugin, it says:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\wamp\www\wp233\wp-content\plugins\sexy-comments\sexycomments.php on line 822

i use Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5 + PECL, MySQL 5.0.45 but i can’t install the plugin Sexy Comments on my wordpress 2.3.3.
I like this theme so much.
Please help me to fix it !! Thanks
Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I’m trying to use this theme with Wordpress 2.5, but it seems that the comments aren’t showing up at all. Any ideas as to why this would be happening?
Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
because you didn’t activate sexy comments and karma plugin
cheers,
Tom
Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
I thought I should’ve mentioned this but I did activate them both. If you go to the comments page you can see the links for sexycomments on it, showing that it is indeed active.
Posted: Apr 19th, 2008 at 1:40 am
I figured out what the problem was. I had to disable the default css in the SexyComments settings, and it’s now all working fine.
Posted: Apr 19th, 2008 at 5:47 am
glad you got the problem solved
cheers,
Tom
