I installed this theme (love the look) but when I activate it, I see either “??” above and below the header or a variation on that in some browsers.
Whatever is causing that forces the header art down about 25 pixels, causing it to be misalligned with the background.
I don’t see this problem with any other themes that I tried.
Currently, I have reset my blog to its original theme, but wonder if you can advise me on this? Let me know if you need me to reactivate Bright Side so you can see what I mean. Or, I could send a screenshot?
Thanks!

@ Katie Baird
Can you download the theme and upload a fresh copy to your site and check? I am thinking something funny happend to the earlier copy of your theme files. I did see the ?? on your site when the theme was active, it is strange.
April 6th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Ok, that’s a good idea, so I tried it. I have now reuploaded the newly downloaded files, and it still is not displaying correctly… those question marks persist. This is with having made no modifications to the sidebar or rightbar.
It must be something in my existing files that is causing the conflict. I’m just not sure what to turn off or on to restest.
I just upgraded WP last week and did the deactivate and then reactivate plugins thing. I eliminated a couple that were known not to work.
Out of ideas here …

@ Katie
That is wierd, can you deactivate all your plugins and activate the theme, tell me if it breaks. If not, turn on (activate) one plugin at a time till it breaks.
April 7th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Thank you - I tried that just now, and even with all plugins turned off, the anomaly appears. In view source, I see that it appears at the top of the code, prior to the head section of the code and then just before this line in the code:
Maybe that pinpointing of where the odd characters show up will help in this troubleshooting?
I looked through the code on all the theme files and don’t see this, so it must be picking it up from a WP file that’s outside the themes folder.

Is there a quick way to enable the default Blogroll link list presentation in one of the sidebars?
April 11th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
@ Ryan
Quick way would be to use widgets, else you can add this line of code within < and > to make it appear:
?php get_links_list(); ?
April 11th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
hi,
I downloaded the theme and I love it.
But recently I noticed that as the number of posts in the blog gets vast, i.e Crosses the number of posts to show on the frontpage, I dont see a link to go to the next page on the bottom of the frontpage.
How would I implement it.
thanks

@ Karsem
You can add it to the index.php (Main Index Page) by simply adding these lines after the code ?php endwhile; ?
?php next_posts_link(’« Previous Entries’) ?
?php previous_posts_link(’Next Entries »’) ?
Each line of code must be within < and > for it work!
April 12th, 2007 at 7:00 am
Wondering the same thing as karsem and tried your fix but it doesn’t work. I get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in …../html/wp-content/themes/brightside/index.php on line 41
April 14th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
@ Frank
That works for me, what version of WP are you using?
Here’s more info on Next/Previous WP tags.
April 14th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I love this theme and adding a header image. I am having a problem with my About page displaying. Can anyone help?
August 15th, 2007 at 9:11 am
I ended up reinstalling Wordpress on my server and it fixed the problem. I then recovered from SQL backup and it re-occured.
Obviously had to rebuild from scratch. It goes much faster the second time. Fortunately I just started the site. Need to find something that backs up pages and posts as well.

@ Chris
Here’s an excellent post by a friend on essential plugins, there’s one for database backup too (backs pages, posts, comments, etc..).

Need help with the tabs for my pages. Some titles are long (long-tailed keywords) and color drops.
Any fix?
Thanks Chris
November 5th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
@ Chris
The images that is used for the background is 175px wide, that seems to be the issue in your case. I suggest you open the images folder within the theme folder and look for tabright.gif, open it and stretch the image horizontally (keeping the height constant at 84px) to say 225px, save and close. That should do it.

That is exactly what was needed! Thank you.
It worked like a charm. Is genius to strong a word?

The code you gave for previous and next entries gave me the same error. In reading the WP info I used this code:
after the endwhile; in the index page and it works great.
Thanks for the theme!
December 11th, 2007 at 8:25 am
@ Lori G
After the endwhile is correct, that is what I instructed.

Your theme is lovely!
My pages are showing up with 2 homepages. Also in the place where you can choose a static front page none of the pages show instead it lists the posts twice.Do you know how to fix this?
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:40 am
The problem above doesn’t seem to be with the theme as same happened when I changes to a different one. i guess I might need to reinstall WP.
But another question:
Could you please tell me how to edit the feed info on the right of the header/page? I want to use feedburner but can’t work out how to change it.
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
@ Liz
Did you recently upgrade your WP? If it is not WP, it could be some plugin that is messing with your site.
As for Feedburner RSS, use the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin.
January 23rd, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Thanks for your help. You were right it was the plugins. Not sure which one yet but am back to 1 home page. Also thanks for the feedburner tip. Your theme is wonderful and I will make a donation.

A problem has developed with my theme. It is cutting off the page before the text is finished. The second half of each page including sidebar content is coming out onto the grey background. Do you have any idea why this might happen?
March 26th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I have solved this. For some reason the sign up form in the sidebar was causing the problem.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I can’t find anywhere for people to leave a comment on this theme. Can you tell me how to enable this? I have it enabled in posts and pages but there is no link to comments on the page.
April 8th, 2008 at 5:29 am
@ Liz
When you create a post/page, there is an option (under Comments and Pings) to allow or disallow comments, if you do not check the box, by default it will disallow comments.
