 * hi all, I’ve installed the Oriental theme that I love on my blog on the net and
   everything went just fine.
 * However I have as well my own dev environment (apache, php, mysql, phpMyAdmin,
   wordpress,…) locally deployed on my computer. In this environment the oriental
   theme does not show any content. The only thing that is actually displayed is
   the upper tab. Do you know if this theme requires specific php extension to work
   properly.
 * Hoping you can help, I currently use the Gear Theme which is fine, but definitely
   I’d love to use the Oriental theme in my dev environment.
 * Thanks in advance for your help.

 * so I’ve had a closer look it seems that only the header is displayed but not 
   the rest of the theme so I don’t see nothing when I use the Oriental theme … 
   I don’t really understand why. The html page is truncated just avec the header…
 * please help
 * my local configuration points to [http://localhost:8080/wordpress/](http://localhost:8080/wordpress/)

 * Well still a look closer to the code, clearly there is something inside the sidebar.
   php that prevents the blog to be displayed. I haven’t yet isolated the part of
   the php that generates this faulty behaviour. If I remove the get_sidebar() from
   the index.php, the page appears.
 * Also the fact that this only happends in my home local configuration is very 
   curious, I wonder if there aren’t some Apache or PHP modules that are mandatory
   and not enabled in my config ?!?

 * I found the issue, my local config is enabled based on a strict php tag writing
   in the code i.e. <?php ?> but not <? ?> the short open tag is disabled.
 * There is one tag which is improperly written in the sidebar.php on line 13. You
   just need to complete the <? with <?php and that’s it it works fine.
