Ok, I see now what the problem is. On the requirements page it says:

All themes are subject to review. Themes for sites that support non-GPL (or compatible) themes or violate the WordPress community guidelines themes will not be approved.

Not being intimately familiar with the licensing terms, I didn’t understand what that meant until now. Basically WordPress doesn’t include themes with links to sites that break the licensing terms of WordPress, or sites that support them.

So FYI to all you other theme developers/designers!

I keep a test environment on my flash drive. This way, it’s entirely separate from all of my “live” sites and can be blown away and re-created on a whim with minimal effort.

An upside to using a portable test environment: doing this allows me to test my themes on multiple versions of WordPress. I currently have versions 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7 installed, and try to make my themes backwards compatible for all (or for what I can, feasibility and time permitting). ??

It would be nice if WP had an “if page exists” or a similar function built-in. I am looking for a way to incorporate a certain feature into some of my themes if a page exists matching entries in a set list of slugs.

Followed the instructions but did not correct the problem. ??

Was a fix ever found for this?

Apparently there’s a file size limit. I had screenshots of styles and options included and these made the file quite large. Once I deleted those the file size went from 3mb to 220k and it uploaded fine.

So, just FYI …

Otto, if I could reach you, I’d kiss you!

It worked. Thank you SO MUCH! ??

Believe it or not what I had before wasn’t too much off yours and when I couldn’t get passed an error message, I Googled for a work-around and found the “backwards” method. (Hey, whatever works, right?)

Thanks so much for setting me straight!

This is my functions.php: https://pastebin.com/mfcf14cb

And this is my style.php: https://pastebin.com/d43406388

I have 4 different styles (options) defined in functions for the user to choose from and call the corresponding stylesheet in style.php (in addition to the “default” style contained therein).

Does that make sense?

I based this on a how to I found on the web a while back. (here)

I’ve looked at WP-Microsummary and didn’t see anything like that referenced. (but then again not all of your snippet made sense to me)

Like GDragoN, I am also trying to add options to my theme, but require wp-config to be called (included, whatever). I’m not using ajax or js, just a simple couple of lines pointing to which stylesheet to load for which option the user chooses.

“Also, it would be good if the WP developers provide some proper way to load wp-config for use in external resource files like CSS or JS.”

That’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for and haven’t found an efficient way of doing it yet! ??

Otto42: thank you SO MUCH!

My husband hosts his site from here at home (Windows/Apache/Server 2K3) and after upgrading his site to 2.6, he started having this problem as well.

I ran across your post on another thread pointing to here, implemented your suggestion, and now his site is all happy happy! ??

As a reward, he’s taking me to my favorite restaurant this weekend. *huge grins!* ??

So thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! ??

Unbelievable. Thank you Ed73 for that link. When I set ‘Posts page:’ to a page no longer in use, it fixed the problem. (it previously was not set)

Odd behavior that one. Will definitely make a note to check my other blogs!

Addendum: I thought it might be my theme, so I switched to the WP Default theme, and it does it there too.

qwik3r, were you ever able to find or get an answer to this? If so, could you please post? Thanks! ??

Thank you, da3rX. That was exactly what I was looking for! ??
