Next Free WordPress Theme
Click the screenshot for a preview of Blossom, the next free WordPress theme from Rose City Gardens. It’s not quite finished; I still have bits and pieces to style and options to add.
Blossom will be ready for release by the end of the week. Stay tuned!

This is very cool – Blossom is now translated! Thanks for letting me know. And the way you lay out the screenshot page is lovely!

We’re seeing strange behavior when you’re not logged in. Hit the site and it looks normal. However, select a recent post and the formatting goes haywire. Since we haven’t enabled registrations yet, you should see it. What’s strange is it doesn’t happen like that if you’re logged in.
I just upgraded to 2.2 and now when you select a recent post you get what appears to be php comments when you select a recent post – this is what you see:
/* This code retrieves all our admin options. */ global $options; foreach ($options as $value) { if (get_settings( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); } } ?>
Are we doing something wrong or is there a problem? My daughter loves the theme and hope we can use it.
Thanks for your help

It’s a problem, but one I am sure I can fix. I just upgraded all of the theme pages – you might look in your dashboard and see if that’s the case.
Have no fear, Dave, we shall solve the problem! I no doubt put something in wrong, or left something out. I’ll check out if I can replicate this behavior on the demo site. Be back with you soon.

Dave, did anyone paste some code in the sidebar? They may have tried to add somethng, and accidentally erased a character that was needed! I tried both the recent version, and the latest version which is now available through download in your control panel.
In both cases, either logged in or out, there was no problem such as you describe. Try starting over with the new files – the module code is tricky and it’s best not to mess around with it. You can change the tab names in the theme options page, and use their corresponding sidebars and pop in your own widget, which will of course whatever is in the tab’s content div.
There’s a detailed readme file included in the theme package that can explain a lot of things.
Sorry for the trouble you had!
Web Wench
I should also add – make sure you have the tabbed module options enabled in the theme options!

Thanks – I’m not sure where is the best place to communicate, here or in the forum. I saw the reply in the forum but wasn’t sure if it was intended for me or not.
We haven’t modified any code. Certainly not since I just updated to 2.2 this morning.
I’ll wait for your reply before I take any more steps (like removing and reinstalling the theme).
Thanks again for your help.

After testing out a few things (I was looking at the recent posts module at first), I looked through my files and found stupid error. I’ve updated the files and uploaded the zip to WordPress.org, but can give you a zipped copy. It works now, I promise!
I feel bad about this, and profoundly silly. Good thing I don’t do this stuff for a living!
dferrey
Don’t feel bad, I’m just so happy you created this theme.
I’m not sure how it automatically shows up in themes that there is an update. I can wait for that or you can send me the zip file.
Either way and thanks again.

It’s easy to update through the themes panel and should keep your options. it’s working like a charm on the demo site. I just wish I was good enough to be able to code it to choose different pictures on different pages! I’m sure it’s been done, but i’ve got so much to learn! I’ll never catch up,
One thing about me, I learn my lessons exceedingly well. I will beta test the pants off any theme I release in the future!

Something must be different with my environment. As I mentioned in my 2/28 forum post, I created a brand new install, no customization, no widgets, no posts (other then the default). Selecting the lone Hello World recent post still doesn’t show correctly when not logged in.
Oh well, thanks for your help.
Web Wench
Go ahead to the Blossom theme page and use Preview – it works fine. But the default is the picture showing.
I am just heartbroken that we can’t resolve this problem. Watch – it will turn out to be something very simple that we’ve both overlooked.
