In reply to: [Minamaze] No sidebar, no footer, no documentationSteve! That was the answer!
What the heck is up with MSIE and this theme? I’ve never run across this problem before and I’ve installed quite a few wordpress themes. Cache was emptied too!
Anyway, I will consider this topic as solved/closed and thank you again for your help. Really, really appreciate you taking the time to help out on this.
{ rant: It appears that no one from ThinkUp Themes saw my post or had the time to respond. (Did I give them enough time – I thought so) Shame – because I have no problem purchasing a pro theme after testing out the free version. But I want to see how that free version translates and performs….. first. /end rant }
Anyway, putting the crabbiness away.
I’m still working on another theme but I wanted to sort out this problem. I used Chrome and went back through the options to save again and that did the trick. I’m having issues with plugins and icons not displaying correctly now but that’s another story 🙂
cheers!

In reply to: [Minamaze] No sidebar, no footer, no documentationDear Steve
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer this. I will give that a try. Yes I am editing in IE – mainly because that is the main platform I work on but I check the sites in a number of platforms & browsers.
I will give that a try today to see if that fixes my issues. Unfortunately I’m likely to be moving on to a different theme – have been testing one out for the past couple of days and will probably be loading that up today or tomorrow. Before I do tho, I will test this out so I can follow up back here.
thanks again!

In reply to: [Minamaze] No sidebar, no footer, no documentationPS, am testing out on two different platforms, 3 screens, MSIE, Firefox and Chrome. Sorry, forgot to add that. Latest versions of browsers. Microsoft 7 & 8 (ugh – cannot wait for 10 with crossed fingers) All Display the same which is a good thing – just wish I could get the sidebar and footer widgets to work

In reply to: [Adventurous] Some issues cropping upbtw, I’d like to think the Theme Customize page was an issue with my development environment. It quite simply does not reflect the experience where with 5 windows open, the only page freezing was that one. That after a complete close-down and restart, that page was the only one that froze. Yup, could be my dev environment but I’m betting what I’m working with isn’t so different than a number of other peoples. So, bug – perhaps. Of course it’s likely the gremlins that exist to make your life a bit miserable are the issue, Murphy’s law and all that. Finally – as I’ve pointed out, perhaps having the Theme Author ‘rate’ his own theme is a bit like putting the cart before the horse as well.
As I said, please delete my review(s).

In reply to: [Adventurous] Some issues cropping upPossibly – and that’s fine, just goes a ‘little’ against the grain.
and yes I know I was hasty (see point above) and I will try to address it and if y’all want to remove my review I’m fine with that too. I just don’t have time to do a more thorough look and analysis right now and my review was a heads up to anyone else who might be experiencing a problem. Forum – yes, got that, practically have it engraved in steel right now. And I should have known better because I have seen plenty of reviews that were hasty or ill-written. Which is probably why in some 8 years of working with WP I rarely do a review.
Finally – yeah, maybe Theme Authors shouldn’t rate their own themes – pretty much a conflict of interest isn’t it. (Ever seen a Theme Author rate his theme less than a 5-star?)
Thanks for the pushback folks – I’ll go crawl back into my lurkcave again where I happily reside.

In reply to: [Adventurous] Some issues cropping upBecause this was the most the most basic of installs.
Because there were no plug-ins installed
Because there were no widgets enabled by me.
Because there were only some 6 or 7 pages set up with no content installed.
Because the header image issue only cropped up in this theme while I had utilized the same header on 5 other themes I was testing out (where everything worked fine).
Because the the only issue with the computer freezing was with this Theme’s Options interface.
Because I had utilized exactly the same page, header and feature images in 5 other themes with absolutely no issues
and mostly
BECAUSE there was a 5 star rating that apparently was put there by the theme author (??)So, if you’re going to rate your own theme and give it 5 stars and I come along with issues, I’m going to post about it.
AND, finally – I gave up – the customize page continues to freeze and I do not have that issue with any other theme I’m working on – all on the same equipment.
I’ve been working with WordPress for some time – steadily for over 6 years so I didn’t post a review just to be bitchy. I posted it because there appears to be some issues and the 5 star rating appears to be misleading. If I’m wrong, I apologize. But right now – I have sh*tloads of work to do and certainly would love to spend more time debating the merits of my review but unfortunately just don’t have the time. If and when I get a chance – I will post something on the sub-forum but for now, I’ve ditched the theme.
thanks for your time.
