Well, I couldn’t get this worked out. A plug-in that makes plug-ins sensitive to what theme is in use might be helpful, but there just may not be enough need for it. Although not resolved, I would call this issue closed.

Thanks for everyone’s ideas.

Are there any Mac/Safari users out there? I’d be curious to know if this theme works right for you.

Thanks all. Those dates are via Hot Dates plugin

I’m starting to like this theme stuff.

I retried the functions thing as a you said, being careful of spaces and format, and now the dashboard errors are gone. But CQS options are still nowhere to be found. I even tried setting up the options before I changed the functions.php (and the line in the plugin), but no go. It just doesn’t seem to want to do it.

Maybe if I tried working with the loop again…

An idea: Modifying the CQS plugin itself to give it a ‘theme’ condition? It would have to be set up to give you the ability to set sub-conditions after the theme condition, I think.

I don’t think this is something I can actually do, however. I don’t know enough to be dangerous, I know enough to be very dangerous.

Original question is still open, but in a new train of thought:

Thanks for all the help. I’ll post a solution when I get to one, for sure.

The above error (which I probably didn’t need to post as ‘code’) is happening in the dashboard when I have my test theme active. CQS options do not show whatever theme is active…

OK- Otto, thanks for the reply. I’m getting an error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../evilkirk/wp-content/themes/kirkian/functions.php:6) in .../evilkirk/wp-admin/plugins.php on line 16

And I’m not exactly sure how this set-up will work in only one theme, but I can’t seem to test it as I can’t see the CQS options in the dashboard at this point.

As long as I don’t kill the whole blog, I think I’ll give it another go.

Maybe I should deactivate the plugin from the dashboard first (?). Or delete it totally from the plugins folder, before trying to add it to the theme functions file (?).

How would I use the plugins features if it’s not in the WP options pages?

Thanks for the tip tsguitar, but my advice is to NOT try the idea he described above. I did, and have develop some strange quirks when trying to create or edit posts from the dashboard.

New question, new thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/83489?replies=1

Although now I’m starting to question how far I want to go with the theme, but it’s still a good question.

It does, a little. My problem is that I want to leave alternate themes available to readers, but they are not as friendly for 1-post viewing.

Is there a way to make the plugin active only when a particular theme is in use?

For what it’s worth…

IT’S VALID!

Thanks for the tips! I look forward to trying to get this to validate.
