Great post!

\wp-content\themes\wicketpixie\home.php
edit it to show your youtube videos, there are two section by default one that appears to be a side bar on the home page and one in the center section. Just login to your youtube channel, create a custom player , then past the resulting code into home.php, you need only provide the src= and movie = info, not the entire enbed statement.

faves! edit wp-content\themes\wicketpixie\app\faves.php as it has by default Chris favs in it so clicking delete will not work! the default favs come back. I think this was left in so chris doesnt worry about deleting his stuff. I am working on mod all ready to all you as an admin to remove them all or add them back e.g default.

Hi Chris!

I am very excited for you and the WordPress community with the release of your new WordPress theme. With the amount of time and energy you have put into this, I am very confident that this is a very solid working WordPress theme that has been coded to perfection. Thanks so much for your contribution.

Best Regards,
Garry Conn

Chris, my birthday is tomorrow. You just made my day!!!

Nice work

Help! I downloaded the .zip file to my Windows XP desktop, but when I try to open it, I get the error message “The Compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted.”

Help! I’m trying to migrate to WicketPixie, but Windows XP says “The Compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted.” after I downloaded the .zip file. I looked at this Microsoft Help and Support page, and yes, the Confirm open after download check box is selected. So I’m temporarily disrupted, because my folder is invalid or corrupted…

Chris, thanks for sharing this with the rest of us. It’s a very classy theme. Looking forward to using it on my site.

anyone else getting a plugin error… for the Source Manager?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /nfs/c02/h06/mnt/42832/domains/gregwilker.org/html/wp-content/plugins/sourcemanager.php on line 19

Line 41: replace
foreach( $results[$page - 1] as $stream )
with
foreach( (array)$results[$page - 1] as $stream )

The theme is very odly packaged. The /upload subdirectory is not needed, and should be created by the theme instead. The plugins should be included in the theme directory instead of the plugins directory.

Last thing: the FlexURL stuff is totally deprecated, since this is the regular behavior of WP since long (ie http://planetozh.com/blog/about-plugins/ is redirected to http://planetozh.com/blog/2008/06/about-plugins-and-roles-in-wordpress-mu/ and I’m not using any plugins for this)

@Greg Wilker I am having the same problem

Bummer :( I was really looking forward to this, but I can’t get it to work at ALL. Plugins dont show or create errors, and my index/home page is completely empty. Only the background image shows up.

If anyone can contact me and tell me what might be the problem, I’d be so grateful.

hi chris, do you know where to get the WordPress Theme before the one you have now

@Ben I figured out what our problem is… we are using php4 and the plugin requires php5

Is anybody getting the error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'ethanbaker_wordpress.wp_wik_sources' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_wik_sources

email me If you know how it can be fixed

@Greg Wilker, I am getting the same error

If you are getting a “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’” when trying to enbale the Source Manager plugin, make sure that you are using PHP5, and NOT PHP4. It took me a while to figure out the cause and it was because I had PHP4 set as the default on my hosting account. As soon as I changed to PHP5, it worked.

Fatal error: Class ‘SourceUpdate’ not found in /home/collide/public_html/wp-content/themes/wicketpixie/header.php on line 85

Nevermind I didn’t enable the plugin.

@Greg Wilker & @ Ben I’m also having the same error…

Awesome release, Chris.

@Jeff Norris I’ll keep checking back for your fix.

Free & Premium … that’s something I don’t see everyday ;)

What do you delete in faves.php? I can’t seem to figure that one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind, I found it. :) I should’ve read the directions more closely in the previous posts. :)

I got this error and was able to get past it, Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /nfs/c02/h06/mnt/42832/domains/gregwilker.org/html/wp-content/plugins/sourcemanager.php on line 19.

It was because my host by default was using PHP 4, I switched on PHP 5 and it works great. Dont know if it will help anyone but just in case.

Download is successful to a flash drive on a different machine. I unarchived it just in case my machine still doesn’t like it. Will probably do more pitiable whining the next time I get stuck…

I may have figured out how to get rid of Chris’ favorites. This may completely break everything, although it seems to be working for me so far.
First, I opened the file at wordpressfolder/wp-content/themes/wicketpixie/app/faves.php where wordpressfolder would be the folder on your server where WP lives. Then, I commented out lines 30 - 38 of faves.php. These are the lines that hard code his sites to the faves array. Once I saved the file I was able to remove the sites from the WicketPixie Faves page under the Manage menu in WP. Jeff’s solution will surely be cleaner than this, but this may be a temporary solution for anyone needing one.

Problem:

Fatal error: Class ‘SourceUpdate’ not found in /*BLEEEEEEP*/blog/wp-content/themes/wicketpixie/header.php on line 85

Hey chris this theme is cool, but has some major issues. It wont even load on my site and I cant get the plugin to load. Furthermore, the bug on the menu where one side is rounded and the other side is square is still there, it looks really bad…With some bug fixes it could be a nice theme though

Fred, thanks for that tip. That might solve my problem, too.

I’m slowly trying to get this to work! Anyone know how to replace the YouTube video section and the Ustream section on home.php? I get how to delete it but its not as obvious to me how I can replace the YouTube portion?

I’m officially bummed. I can’t use your theme Chris, because I keep getting the error messages you mentioned needing “php5″ for. My webhost doesnt use it.

Have fun, all of you who can. It’s a really nice theme. Hopefully something can be done for those of us with webhosts not using php5.

Ok I was able to change my webhost (godaddy) to php5, but will take a while to process (it says). We’ll see if I can get it to work..

Hey Chris, great theme. I have installed it and am in the process of tweaking it.

I decided to contribute $10 to the cause, this is my first “donation” towards a project and it makes me feel good to do it.

Keep up the great work.

Hi,

This is a great theme chris :)

I do have 1 problem though, i have applied this theme to my blog and it works great on safari and firefox but for some reason on internet explorer it does not work properly, the menu bar with the different tabs is over to the right, if anybody knows how to fix it could you contact me at sean@leateds.com or just here on this blog post.

Thanks

WicketPixie is up and running at Crossword Bebop! I had to toggle DreamHost to PHP5, but after that, everything worked automagically. As a WordPress n00b, I had a hard time finding home.php to edit it, but once I did, I was able to get my Flickr photos up.

I have a YouTube account with some videos, but I couldn’t find an equivalent page for my videos, equivalent to the page mentioned in your home.php. I’ll investigate that further tomorrow.

Haven’t started working with WicketPixie Sources and WicketPixie Faves yet, but it’s on my to-do list. I’m feeling pretty good right now with having successfully migrated to WordPress and WicketPixie.

I’m having the same trouble, Jayme. How do we change the front page YouTube to show our OWN account? Meanwhile I am featuring Chris’ vids on my page. LOL!

Also, why am I only able to add 4 sources?? I can’t seem to add anymore than 4. I’m sure if I hunt around, I’ll find some tweak, but I’d love some wisdom from someone here..

I love this theme though and am determined to get it to work. :)

Ok I figured out the YouTube question I had. I read the other comments. Thanks guys! :) Now my one big issue remains.. why can’t I add more than 4 sources? That has me completely stumped. I go to manage and the source plug-in settings, and I was able to add 4 sources just fine. Starting with the 5th one, it just stopped letting me add anything. I deleted the table, started over, same thing. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks chris for this wonderfull theme! I have it working perfectly just some little tweaks here and there left to do. Other than that its a superb theme!

Whooohoo! Thanks, Chris. :)

I have come up with a small fix for this theme for internet explorer 7, in IE7 the navigation bars are not aligned properly, i have made a temporary fix for this which aligns the bars into the right places the only thing different is that the top menu bar moves with the page when scrolling instead of it being in a fixed location.

All you have to do is download this css file and replace it with the original one found in the css folder of wicketpixie

Hope it helps!

So, I’m trying to get 2 things to show up and work with this theme. The first thing is I have 3 twitter accounts I want to display in the top news Source display. So far it only shows the first Feed not the other two.

2nd Twitter and Plurk’s Favicon haven’t yet been able to display in the activity page where as flickr’s favicon has.

I don’t know how to fix this. *note to chris you should create a forum for us to all come together and help each other doing our own tech support.

Ok, so a couple things I’m having trouble with. First of all I keep getting this:

I’ve enabled permissions for it to read, write, and execute (run) all the files in the wp-content folder, so I don’t get why it’s not working.

Also, I’m a twitter user like Chris and I can’t seem to be able to get it so that my latest tweet shows up at the top right of the header area (just to the right of my blog title).

If anyone can help me with either of these matters, please e-mail me: mike.boomhouer@gmail.com

Thanks very much ^_^

OMG!!! This theme is owesome! I love you dude! If you’re women I’ll hug you……. But… you’re not a women…… So I’ll UNDO my hug…. Yeah.. That’s the best thing to do..

Also be sure to invest time into reading his post that explains in detail all the features included with this WordPress theme. This WordPress theme is a little more complex to install compared to others; however, if you put forth some time

I’ve got the theme up and running! Yay!

One problem though - I can’t get ‘Faves’ to work at all.

I’ve got a few entries already put in (as well as the ones that come with it already), created the ‘Faves’ page using the template, but…..

The ‘Faves’ page is blank. Nothing there.

Can anyone offer any guidance?

kPod- if you check this.. just delete the “home.php” and you’re left with generic “index.php”. That should take care of it.

Can anyone please help me? For some reason, the “social me” (activities stream) is frozen on June 10. I KNOW I’ve updated Twitter, my blog, etc.. since then. Anyone else having any issues with that??

I’m getting these two errors when I try to view my “Social-Me” page.

Warning: krsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /homepages/4/d128031905/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/sourcemanager.php on line 199

[...] Theme permalink: WicketPixie - Social Media Theme [...]

for those of you who aren’t good with css and still use ie7 you might have noticed that your wordpress blog running this theme doesn’t look right…

What your going to have to do is open the file in the CSS folder called ie7.css and add this to that file since its currently blank.

#nav {
float:left;
position:absolute;
left:0%;
top:224px;
}
#topbar {
float:left;
position:absolute;
left:0%;
}
#mid {
padding: 30px 0 0 0;
}

Ok figured out my issue:

Warning: krsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /homepages/4/d128031905/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/sourcemanager.php on line 199

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/4/d128031905/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/sourcemanager.php on line 206

These errors where preventing me from adding sources, for some reason the sourcemanager.php would not create the wik_sources table.

Created wp_wik_sources by hand and everything is working fine now..

Good looking out Greg, I was dreading having to fill in the blank css file myself.

Ok, so my first problem is solved (the php error) so now my only problem is the whole latest twitter tweet in the header part. If anyone could help me out I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

PS. sorry for the multiple posts of the other problem, I just didn’t know if it was going thru since I didn’t see it in the comments. LOL

Great theme I really like it. I plan on donating as well.

However, Firefox 3 there are major scrolling issues. I am working to whether confirm it is souly a firefox 3 problem or not. Has anyone else noticed the issue? Since firefox is one of the most used browsers this is potentially a decent sized issue, no? Well that depends on the amount of people using firefox 3.

From what I know right now. Firefox 3 is the only browser to have the scrolling lag issue. It happens on both XP and Vista.

This is the only blog template or website that I know of that has the issue.

Thanks

After an hour and a half of diagnosing, I discovered that there is a coding issue with this theme. If a user has their WordPress installation setup so that only Registered and logged in users can comment, this will cause the themes footer/sidebar to break. I believe it’s because the theme was not coded to handle this user case scenario. The work around is to have an open comment system but then again, not everyone wants that. Thought I would pass this bug report on to you.

Aside from the above, I would like to mention that Twitter updates do not show in the bubble unless you change the font color. (At least for me)

Also, does anyone have any idea how to get the avatar to show next to the text bubble? I’ve manually fixed it in a couple of spaces, but it calls every time you go to a new page, and that is a pain.

Chris, thank you so very much for the theme being donation-based. It really helps those of us on a limited budget (read: poor).
