I’m not sure what you mean, but the file noted in the error is “/home/emptynes/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php.”

I have no idea otherwise.

I’ve found the problem. I deactivated and then reactivated plugins one by one and discovered that it only happens when Easy Adsense Lite is used.

Too bad. I really like that plugin, but I’m going to have to remove it.

Thanks for your help.

I’m using my own theme that I created using Artisteer. Everything looks fine except the text of the post does not show at all. The heading and header and footer do.

The post content is saved and visible in the editing screen, just not anywhere else.

If I have to, I’ll go back to my previous version, but I’d really like this to stay as I really like the new features and usability.

I forgot, this was in the beta version 3.3.

This will be my last post on this topic. I have no intention of ever submitting any of my themes to this site. I am very disappointed in WordPress and if I had not already committed everything to using it, I would be using another such as Drupal or Joomla.

I have every intention of and have already been learning the php and css code. In the meantime, however, Artisteer works fine for me.

The problem has not been Artisteer code being obsolete. Any code becomes obsolete over time. Maybe there should be an expiry date for themes by which they have to be upgraded/updated or removed?

As already mentioned, all of my four blog themes (all different but designed by me using Artisteer) went through the WordPress upgrade absolutely unscathed. I have subscribed to the Artisteer updates and my themes will be continuously updated.

I suspect that others have not bothered to pay for the updates of the software. Another requirement may be that the newest version of the software has to have been used on themes submitted.

Anyway, ’nuff said. I don’t know why I’m bothering, but maybe some of what I’ve said will sink into your or someone else’s brain at WordPress and some common sense will be used in future.

PS. The reason I started designing my own themes is because every single theme I used from the WordPress library after every WordPress upgrade, the themes conflicted and became unusable. Evidence of this can be found on any one of my four blogs in which I posted about these problems. The other three blogs are:

Empty Nest Genealogy
Feathering the Empty Nest
View From the Empty Nest

I’ve had to do one upgrade since using my own themes on all of my sites – with no problems I might add? Maybe simplicity (or what you consider obsolescense?) is the best??

No problem. I won’t sully the WordPress site with my ‘below par’ (at least as far as you’re concerned) work.

I will, however, state my objections here. I am a designer!! I am the first to admit that I am no expert on using code – especially php and css. I learned on html and therefore I’m at a disadvantage.

That does not mean that my design skills are below par. I thought these were free WordPress theme ‘designs’ offered on WordPress – not free ‘code’.

I have also taken a look at the background documentation of themes on the site and the main reason I started designing was for myself because I was very unhappy with what was available. There were numerous issues with formatting, etc. and there is plenty of documentation on WordPress’ site regarding ongoing issues and bugs to do with themes that have been accepted and that supposedly use ‘non-obsolete’ code.

My belief is that elitist attitudes such as yours only serve to stifle creativity. I take great offense at you referring to my themes as not being ‘creative’ or ‘original’. They are both and have been and will continue to offer my work elsewhere.

By the way, what position do you hold with WordPress that you appear to be the guard at the gates keeping us ‘bad folk’ out????

The Citrus theme is GPL licensed. I did say in my original post that the others were not yet licensed and therefore I have not included them.

However, I am concerned about ‘Artisteer generated sites’ not being accepted. I am honest and I use Artisteer to find the bare bones I like and build and customize on those to get themes I like. I never submit or post sites directly generated from Artisteer. I don’t see this as being any better or worse than using other design tools that are commonly used (i.e. photoshop, etc.) I could easily remove all references to Artisteer in the code but that is not being honest.

Is there a rationale about why these themes are not accepted – especially when they are offered for free? My themes are getting a great response without being on WordPress and I challenge anyone to come up with my themes just using the generator. I’ve submitted to other theme libraries and they don’t seem to have these same prejudices about Artisteer?

I am a loyal WordPress fan and I’m very proud of the themes I’ve created. I will still gradually license all of my themes. I will continue to offer them on my website Empty Nest Themes. I thank all of those who are fans of my themes and continue to use my site.
