Hey Jeremy:

No problem, I didn’t think I could figure it out but finally did after the comment was written.

Waiting for 1.6.5 to arrive in the WP cache!

I am moding one of your custom color schemes now, and am going with the brand new layout.

I just opened the hood for the first time, and I am pretty impressed.

I started using this theme because of options and support, and I have gotten more than I expected on both sides. Thanks for your great work, Jeremy.

The extra options are great, I had no idea how many new ones there are now.

And the code has been re-worked quite a lot. It looks real good.

I noticed the pic handling is much improved right away.

Anyways, nuff of that. I hacked the original index to fix the nav problem, and threw that into the new theme as the easiest way to maintain the original structure of elements. I am sure I broke something on the back end, but so far it looks good. (I don’t get a lot of feedback so I am trying not to advertise that.)

Now to colors, which should be fun.

I have noticed all the element connections, very cool. I am pretty stoked to dig into this.

Hi Jeremy:

1.6.2 already solves the problem, I just need to upgrade. Its been Michael who has been driving this issue forward. Mike, you rock, seriously. ; – )

Just being a bit lazy, but I am going to get on it. The newer version is even tighter and I am looking forward to the result once I make all my customizations.

One thing that seems quite strange to me is why the colors so far look quite different in the newer version. Darker and deeper. Is that intentional or am I imagining things? Not a complaint but only a question.

Anyway, cheers, all is good!

Ah, yes, its there in lines 1332 and 1442. I changed the label by changing both instances (to ‘Label’), changing only one causes an error.

Wow you are relentless.

I confirmed your theory; by stripping out those two lines, all page navigation is gone. It looks cleaner but not too user friendly.

What I can’t understand is where the text ‘Next Page’ is coming from. I can’t find the term anywhere in the *theme* docs.

Anyway I am off to upgrade the theme and solve the problem that way.

Cheers!

Michael:

I upgraded and on standard tech 1.6.2 all is well in the world.

This is something to do with my custom hacks, probably due to font size, so I will re-hack and learn even more.

This topic is closed.

Wow Michael thanks so much, this will really teach me something.

Now, pls slow down just for a second, is this all in Main Index.php?

Another point, I just went through every page and never found the text ‘Next Page’, and you say you found it but it doesn’t appear in the code you posted. Is that text on another template that gets called? I didn’t see it anywhere…

I will try the hack and see if it works, and report back.

But I should note that I am working on Technozoic 1.5.5. I will also upgrade my theme version. I delayed to do so because I made so many customizations, but it seems clear now that I should upgrade if I am going to constantly be hacking at the code anyways ??

Thanks again Michael and I will be back!!

Hi Michael:

Ok, I will do that. You are right, it seems like two different templates are working here, hence the different terms used (Older entries, but Next page).

No, I have no plugins related to navigation.

Strangely, this is the same problem I had a couple weeks ago when my post was too long and it broke the theme. Basically, the symptoms are the same here.

There is no problem with the standard theme. I also have a non-customized version of the techozoic theme, and that also has the problem.

Umm, I am an idiot.

My friend just told me, use the dumb ‘read more’ button and this won’t happen.

I am still smacking my forehead over that one. D’oh!

Insert this where you want a line break:

<div><br class=”webkit-block-placeholder” /></div><div>

Works for me. It is not perfect as the space it creates is a little bigger than a normal one. But it is good enough.

Sorry, you can find that in the top of your stylesheet.

Are you on 1.5.5 or 1.5.4?

Hi I am back:

I don’t think this has anything to do with the theme, so I changing the status to resolved. And anyway I have a workaround.

Something is stripping out all line breaks and multiple spaces together when I post. That’s can’t be the theme, I would think, more like my browser or text editor. I use ff on ubuntu 8.04, and opera was the same.

So after playing around with it I found a workaround, which will do nicely. Not sure if it will work for everyone, as I removed all the text-handling plugins, including TinyMCE.

Anyway, the solution I got from these board is between paragraphs, where I would normally put the break tag, I put this:

<div><br class=”webkit-block-placeholder” /></div><div>

Hi this just worked for me:

After the paragraph tags, where you want to but break lines, you can put this:

<div><br class=”webkit-block-placeholder” /></div><div>

My problem looks like yours, and I just got it to give me breaks on the most recent post.

So
<p> Text in proper para tags
</p>
The code from above
<p>And then the next paragraph.
</p>

See if it works!

Hey jbross, I am thinking of using the same work around. What did you do about borders around the image file?

I am getting borders that kind of defeat the purpose.

Did you just get lucky that your css handled the pics without borders? Or is the another workaround for that?
