Is there a way to make the categories that appear in the secondary bar generate the blog posts that their associated with? Right now whenever I click on any category on this secondary bar it takes me back to the homepage of my blog. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Help please, I am a new guy to Wordpress and tonight I was trying to setup my first blog using this theme. (great design).
I received the following error:
Warning: file(/homepages/9/d152541188/htdocs/dcity/wp-content/themes/DerekJ/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/9/d152541188/htdocs/dcity/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /homepages/9/d152541188/htdocs/dcity/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180
Can someone help me and let me know what did I do wrong? Somthing is not right.
Also do I need to install anything else to make this work like the demo?
Darrin, may I suggest paying $19.97 and getting all of the themes from elegantthemes.com? Great service, great instructions, great themes. That’s where my theme is from.
I have no connections to Elegant Themes, other than my purchase. But I highly recommend them. I am a new-ish blogger as well.
Great theme. Only thing I have to figure out now is why the tag cloud isn’t working. Incidentally, why does my site look different than the preview? LOL.
Anyway, thatnks for this great theme
Is there another version of this theme or a full version? It seems that there are missing components like the Search bar as well as some of the stuff below it. I had to play around w/the code to get some of the stuff to function properly. Btw, is there an unlocked version to modify the footer?
I just sent an email to the developer so hopefully we all get our questions answered. Hopefully the developer responds. I got the email address from within the code.
I am having just as much trouble as everyone else! However, after tweaking the code a bit, I was able to get it to look like the demo. If you have Firefox, right click on the demo page and choose “View Source.” You’ll find a basic layout for the template, but of course, the links need to be changed. Note: Do not copy EVERYTHING.
The “content-gallery” is actually called “featured content gallery.” You can find it through the plug-in section on the admin page. You’ll be able to edit it once the plug-i is activated in the Settings section. There is also a video that will help you install it..
I was able to modify the footer though the wordpress editor. If you google “wordpress footer” you will find examples of the code that should be used.
The only trouble I am having at this point is mimicking some of the code that I found on the demo’s index page. Although I replaced a great deal of coding and links, I don’t know what code should be inserted…EX:
For the Recent Entries section, how do I replace the names of the entries, which are next to the bullet. The code used on the demo is
Just found this kewl online tool to decode the footer.php file. If the code contains the $_F=__FILE__ then it will decode no prob. Very useful tool to check for malware, etc …
The theme has a small error with categories when you click you go back to the home page and does not sort. I managed to crack the error and it seems its in the functions.
So download RidZine theme copy includes and functions.php to replace Derekj and you are good to go
Has anyone gotten this template to look exactly like the demo? I revamped the whole theme since I was getting errors. As for the content gallery you are better off checking on youtube for installation since the documentation on the site is not 100% clear.
John are you directing your question to me about pasting the code? If you need help or need the footer info I’ll be glad to provide that to you. For some it might be easier to just replace the whole footer file but some sites do try to hide their code and embedding garbage so yea it is a nice tool to come across.
After spending a good whole day tweaking the code I managed to solved most of the minor but the Categories Menu problem. I just followed your tips as it is and the Categories Menu problem simply gone.
Now I’m tempted to see the difference in both Derekj and Redzine just to satisfy my mind on what actually went wrong on Categories Menu. Oh well… maybe later. Time is essense.
Hellow all.. i have use this theme for a while and used lot of plugin that compatible to this theme. i found this theme is perfect. check my website at http://www.cometomedan.com to see this derekj theme alive and changed .
Thanks for this great theme. There are some minor mistakes indeed inside the theme, but they’re easily fixable. You can visit my website to see how i implemented and adapted it : http://economiemagazine.fr
Thanks for the great theme but how can i get to see or install the slide show images? I am new on wordpress. Do i have to install some plug in and how to where should i add my pictures to that slide show?
Friends, good news for categories to work. After following Francis suggestions, I found that if we write some piece of codes in includes/template-options.php we can make the categories work.
Please add the following after $codename=’DerekJ’;
/// Code start
function another_get_categories() {
global $wpdb;
$sql = ‘SELECT t.name FROM ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’terms as t, ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’term_taxonomy as tt WHERE t.term_id = tt.term_id AND tt.taxonomy = \’category\”;
$result = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
return $result;
}
/// Code end
and change the line
$getCategories = get_categories(’hide_empty=0′);
to
//changed line begin
$getCategories = another_get_categories();
//changed line end
hi, I’ve complete almost the configurations for the theme but left one problem about the sidebar beside content gallery which showing ajax style of my recent entries, comments and archieves..I fail to make it work like normal from the theme but just display text..what I’ve done wrongly and how to solve it? Thanks seniour!
Love your theme. But I have one problem, when I install a gallery plugin (nextgen gallery and many others) the right hand side recent enties, comments, and archieves does not show up as it suppose to. Do you know a solution for this or a working gallery?
thanks
Please, if possible could someone upload a working copy of this theme? I am still having issues with the search bar and only getting a blank page. It would be great if someone could make a zip file of the theme for everyone to download with the latest fixes.
ok, this form is not letting me submit my comments w/code. I am not sure how the other users are doing it. Anyways just lookup the other developer’s projects like the ReeseMag and open the sidebar file … you will see the rest of the code for the searchbar

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with some of the functions on the page. The lavalamp, jquery.tabs, subscribe to RSS->”Enter your email here”, flash tag cloud (less important).
After working on it for a while, I decided to clean out wordpress–uninstall all the plug-ins, delete extra themes on the server, and delete the DerekJ theme. I reinstalled and reactivated everything (i didnt put the content slider back in yet since reinstall).
I was able to hardcode some of the styling into the “recent posts”, “recent comments” and “archives” but obviously that wouldn’t make the script work.
Am I completely missing something? I tried adding the widgets to the sidebar, is it in the plug-in settings? I’m running out of ideas.
Anyone have similar issues or know what could be going on?
Ok, the menu categories fix does not work. I had done a clean install and had copied the functions.php as well as the includes contents from the RidZine theme to the DerekJ’s theme. As far as I can tell this does not fix the categories menu issue. When clicking on the categories menu links it just directs you back to the home page. The prior comments from Suresh had included code to copy and paste but thats not needed since the fix is already done when you copy the files from one theme to another. Does anyone have an alternative fix to this categories menu issue? If possible could someone ftp a fixed copy of this theme?

I’m having an issue with the static front page function, can’t seem to get it to work - it displays posts on both the homepage and the designated blog page, instead of only the blog. I understand there’s something wrong with the coding, see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/305417 - anyone has a workaround?

Great theme! Although ‘Archieves’ is spelt wrong.. it should be ‘Archives’.
How can i correct this to the proper spelling?
Great theme. Only thing I have to figure out now is why the tag cloud isn’t working. Incidentally, why does my site look different than the preview? LOL.
Anyway, thatnks for this great theme
The “Archieves” thing bugged me too - it’s a nice theme except for that bonehead spelling error, which would keep me from using it.
You can fix it in …\includes\widget-tab.php - change it in 3 or 4 places there, save it to the right place on your server, and you’re done.
perde: nice theme. thanks for share.
What is the content gallery plugin? It doesn’t seem to be included and it looks nice.
The upgrade of “content gallery plugin” kills all of the java stuff.
The designer of this theme apparently doesn’t monitor these comments, and I can’t figure out how to reach him.
Problems: The feedburner code is outdated by the Google takeover of feeburner and needs updating.
The Categories menus don’t work, they return all posts.
Archieves is a horrible misspelling of Archives, and makes an otherwise nice-looking theme look amateurish.
Hpa - are you there????
Is there another version of this theme or a full version? It seems that there are missing components like the Search bar as well as some of the stuff below it. I had to play around w/the code to get some of the stuff to function properly. Btw, is there an unlocked version to modify the footer?
I just sent an email to the developer so hopefully we all get our questions answered. Hopefully the developer responds. I got the email address from within the code.
The comment section isnt working on mine. Any idea how to get that up? Im getting one of those ‘warning:’ messages.

Btw, has anyone got the search bar to show up on their page … mine is still m.i.a. Also the archive list seems to crash … I just updated to WP 2.8.4
Candace, were you able to get the categories menus to work?
Also, I modified the header.php to make the Feedburner work - they don’t use the ID system anymore unless you already have an old ID.
New code - replace the whole … section
Subscribe to Rss
<input type=”submit” class=”input-submit value=”Subscribe”
Code paste didn’t work, sri.
The theme has a small error with categories when you click you go back to the home page and does not sort. I managed to crack the error and it seems its in the functions.
So download RidZine theme copy includes and functions.php to replace Derekj and you are good to go

There is a typo in the word Archive. Reads Archieve.
Francis, thanks for the tips on Redzine!

Many thanks for your work
redb && merry - This video should help you out in installing the plugin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A6No8ICT5g
If not just search on youtube for “featured content plugin” there are many tutorials. Hope this helps
btw: in your settings make sure to re-load your screen if you don’t see the plugin.
many thanks Rick i’ll gona watch out !

redb, did you make your slides working??
if not, Just search for the “Dynamic Content Gallery” plug-in, and I bet you can easily do that.
Love your theme. But I have one problem, when I install a gallery plugin (nextgen gallery and many others) the right hand side recent enties, comments, and archieves does not show up as it suppose to. Do you know a solution for this or a working gallery?

Ok, search bar resolved … the key factor is the form’s action otherwise you will get a fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()
so with that said copy and paste the code since the developer fail to include this in the download.
<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”" >
Search for:
sorry the code did not post for some reason, second attempt:
<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”" >Search for:
third attempt:
// <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”" >Search for:
ok, this form is not letting me submit my comments w/code. I am not sure how the other users are doing it. Anyways just lookup the other developer’s projects like the ReeseMag and open the sidebar file … you will see the rest of the code for the searchbar
