There shouldn't be any capability issues if you are using Moo-Point 1.75. </p> <p>Did you replace the Moo-Point 1.75 core theme files with those in Sandbox 1.6 and replace the <code>style.css</code> with the one from Moo-Point 1.75? If so, that could cause some issues because there are changes in Moo-Point that would not be in Sandbox.</p> <p>For your two issues, can you provide more details? Where are you looking for there to be post counts for categories and archives? If you are referring to the sidebars, are you using widgets within the WordPress admin?

The theme was originally a hack together of Upstart Blogger's Minim. The rewrite will be used to make the theme it's own. Better styling, css and semantics on the back-end and just a few additional functional additions to the front-end. </p> http://forums.iamww.com/topic.php?id=21#post-250 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 02:39:42 +0000 Stefson 250@http://forums.iamww.com/ <p>Thanks Will, will add the CSS later this evening.</p> <p>You have new ideas for the theme?

However, the new version of DnD will more than likely be more of a rewrite than an easy update.</p> <p>With that being said, I worked up some CSS to style the captions in the post that you referenced. Nothing too fancy, but I think it will work with the current styling of the theme and your site. If you don't like the style, this will at least give you a starting point.</p> <p>Just add the following CSS to the end of your <code>style.css</code> file in the DnD theme directory.</p> <pre><code>/* wp-captions */ div.wp-caption, dl.wp-caption {margin: 5px 0;max-width: 500px;} div.wp-caption img, dl.wp-caption img {padding: 0;} div.wp-caption p, dl.wp-caption dd.wp-caption-dd {background: #EEE; border-left: 1px solid #CCC;border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC; border-right: 1px solid #CCC;font-size: .8em;font-weight: bold; margin: 0;padding: 3px 5px;width: 488px;}</code></pre> http://forums.iamww.com/topic.php?id=21#post-248 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:28:47 +0000 Stefson 248@http://forums.iamww.com/ <p>Hi Will,</p> <p>Any plans on updating the Dnd2 theme after the latest update for WP?</p> <p>In the lastest WP release, a neat feature has been added:<br /> <strong>Image captions, so you can add sweet captions like Political Ticker does under your images.</strong></p> <p>The function to add captions to images in a post gets skewed a little.

This is either being included by a plugin or has been added directly to the footer.php file.<br /> <code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></p> <p>Firebug in Firefox is showing the error to be:<br /> <code>document.getElementById(&quot;twitter_update_list&quot;) is null</code><br /> <code>twitterCallback2([Object, Object, Object, 2 more...])</code></p> <p>I believe the missing bracket from the first troubleshooting step will resolve the issue.
