   There were a couple of bugs that I came to know about 30 mins back. I have fixed them.

   One bug wasn’t displaying the About Entry section properly in IE and the other was overwriting data that it shouldn’t have.

   If you downloaded the zip, you can get the new files and update style.css, single.php and functions.php.

   Good stuff, man. Thanks for knocking out those bugs so quickly. This theme rocks.

   Awesome update, Nalin!

   The only bug I’ve run into thus far is if you change the excerpt length to anything other than 75, the widgets don’t work. The only way to get them back is to do a reset/uninstall.

   In IE6, when you click on open navigation, nothing shows up, however if you change the font size while it is opened everything will then appear.

   vomitgod, Thanks for brining that up. I have fixed the issue and uploaded the new zip. Things will work fine now. I have made changes to functions.php.

   Jeremy, I checked with IE6 and didn’t see that issue.

   Folks, Thanks for the feedback, but I would appreciate it if you could use http://nalinmakar.com/forum next time.

   p.s. I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn’t have removed the <i>beta</i> tag.

   Nalin - thanks again for all your hard work! I can confirm that the widget issue appears to be rectified by using the new functions.php file.

   See you in the forums!

   Many Thanks to your HemingwayEx. I love it very much.I’m a chinese student and studying CSS.
   The Original CSS setting is beautiful. But cannot use in the other code ,simply like: traditional or simplified chinese.
   My MAMA and my boyfriend hate the text in the blog was shown very much. This make me unhappy. But I didn’t know how to change the text form on the CSS.
   BTW: There is one problem when using Safari to view the website. The comments form and the “Add comment” button is superposed.
   Many Thanks.

   And there is one more question.Using IE 7 to view the blog.
   There is a question on the navigation bar. It’s cannot show the sidebar!
   Thanks!

   I just wanted to say thank you for making this theme. The original Hemingway was nice to start but didn’t give you much room to expand it. This version you have created has just about everything I wanted in this theme. Thank you once again, now maybe I can finish building my site, rather than trying to rig a theme.

    Hi, I am not able to get Twitter on the sidebar. Had already installed the plugin for twitter but could not get it to work on your theme. Any advise? Thanks!

    July 30, 2007 at 8:00 pm

    Hey Nalin,

    If you want the top navigation bar to show up correctly in IE, then you can add the following to the CSS file:

    #navigation ul li a {
    float:left;
    }

    Currently, the highlighted item just displays as black & white in IE. This is because the transparency doesn’t have any affect unless you apply some positioning CSS to the element.

    If anyone else is interested, I also made a post on how you can get the paging links to work on your homepage (located here).

    Thanks a lot Nalin for this update, this makes HemingwayEx just the perfect theme I wanted ! I was looking for a few month for different versions of Hemingway working nicely with widgets, seems like you did the best around here

    I’m modifying it a bit now, trying to get a not-so-black theme, near the Hemingway4U look (but not green…). I’ve themed EventCalendar and Now Reading to match the current HemingwayEx colors, if somebody is interested.

    moggy> Thanks a lot again for the Paging links, this is exactly what Hemingway was missing in my opinion : a simple way to navigate around posts…

    I love this theme! I do have a question: when I click ‘Open Navigation’, the underlying navigation menu at the top appears only briefly, then vanishes and I’m left looking at a black space. Any ideas of why this is happening?

    Thanks

23. 23 Robert
    August 22, 2007 at 6:59 pm

    Just saw the reply to the ‘Open Navigation’ issue, above. I downloaded the theme today, so assume that problem is now gone……?

    The problem still exists. This theme has issues with IE6 and IE7 which I havent been able to fix yet.

    August 23, 2007 at 8:09 pm

    Hmmm…..hope a solution comes along soon…..it really is an awesome design!

    Other question: when in Wordpress editor, I’m unable to see the Bottom Right Sidebar box where I can drag a widget. I tried changing the screen resolution which allowed me to get to the Bottom Middle box, but still can’t get over the Bottom Right. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Great theme! Question, with widgets enabled I can only drop widgets into the slidebar 1-3, and after many attempts I was able to drop widgets into #4 bottom, but I can’t drop them into 5 and 6, which leaves that default text that reads “you shouldn’t be seeing this”. Any suggestions?

    I know what you mean, brokencode! I keep thinking I should change my site design (have been using HemingwayEx for months now!) because, well… one is supposed to… but everytime I search for some new theme, there’s always something missing (HemingwayEx is my gold standard) and I end up realising (again) how much HemingwayEx has to offer!

    Hi Nalin, excellent work on HemingwayEX, I really love it. I found a bug when using a search, if you place Asides or About Page block in Bottombar, on Search result pages Asides Block will return full list with complete posts, and About Page block will display full posts of search results ….

    If anyone wants to use jQuery instead of script.aculo.us for the top slidebar, then you can replace the contents of slide.js with the following:

    (I’m using jQuery’s noConflict option here just to make sure there’s no conflict if you are still using prototype for anything)

    jQuery.noConflict();
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $(’#openSlidebar’).click(function(){
    $(’#slidebar’).slideDown(500);
    $(this).fadeOut(500, function(){
    $(’#closeSlidebar’).fadeIn(1000);
    })
    })
    $(’#closeSlidebar’).click(function(){
    $(’#slidebar’).slideUp(500);
    $(this).fadeOut(500, function(){
    $(’#openSlidebar’).fadeIn(1000);
    })
    })
    });

    Then you can also remove the references to prototype.js, effects.js, and behavior.js from header.php. Finally, go and download jQuery, upload it, and add a reference to it in header.php

    Nalin, I found another HemingwayEX bug regarding Google Webmaster Tools. If you submit your website to Google and track it through Webmaster tools, you will get 404 for every single page you have on your website. Thing causing this is Text Size tool (just under the search bar), which points to index.php which doesnt exist for every single post. I managed to fix this by manually changing the link (in theme’s header.php) to # instead of index.php, but it would be nice if this issue is fixed for next ver. of HemingwayEX….

    Greta work. I justtrie dto use the Thickbox plugin with HemingwayEX (1.0) and it works great, EXCEPT…that Thickbox breaks the navigation slider feature. Is it a Scriptalicious conflict maybe?

    Anyideas how to fix?

    Thanks again!

    I recently upgraded from .95 beta to 1.0 - now the Navigation slider/pane won’t work. I followed the instructions above w/ the reset, but the navigation panel stopped working in both IE and Firefox. I removed 1.0 and tried to reload .95 and the same issue exists. I’m bummed because I love this theme!!! I hope there’s a fix for my issue.

    @Satish: Yes, you can make your own custom blocks. Nalin has included enough ’sample’ default blocks in /wp-content/themes/hemingwayEx/blocks/ for you to build up your own custom block. I’ve used it for WP-Polls by Lesterchan.

    Hi. I like this theme better than Hemigway itself, which is great to look at first time but then it horribly limiting. It must have taken you a LOT of tinkering to get where you are!

    My questions: when will your theme work with WP 2.3?

    Please CC me by email if you respond to this. Thanks.

56. 56 Arvin
    February 4, 2008 at 9:19 am

    There’s a significant difference in the way these themes appear between Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox (mac).

    Basically it looks much better in Safari and Firefox.

    It has to do with the tabbed navigation shading at the top. I’ve attached a pic in the forums to illustrate.

    Hey mate, Love you template!!

    You know how your template is TWO TONED, you have the upper bit where all the texts sits and the bottom where the widget sits.

    My Question is for the template where all the TEXT sits, which is the top, what is the HEX Colour code for the top part of ur theme? the background i mean for the top colour? trying to put adsense and having problems finding out what hex code is your theme colour.

    Thank You

    @Arvin: I am running the latest Wordpress (2.3.3?) and aside from the fact the template needs few tweaks (e.g. the tags page/code) and such, I think it works fine. I did start using HemingwayEx from the 0.96 version though, so am not sure if 1.0 has changed that significantly.

    HOME does not show as a parent page in the dropdown when creating a new Page, nor does it show on Pages in Manage. If I create a new Parent Page named HOME it is just added as a another item to the top menu.

    Thanks for your wonderful theme. I’m using HemingwayEx on my site http://www.33suid.com and would like to incude ‘previous’ and ‘next’ post navigation on the home page. Could you please give me some advice on how to do that?

83. 83 Thomas
    June 6, 2008 at 3:11 am

    I’ve noticed that IE7 doesn’t like it when you use HemingwayEXin conjunction with Twitter Tools. The issue is that the sliding action for the Navigation will no longer work correctly, throwing a Javascript error for the openSlidebar or closeSlidebar functions.

    Researching this a little further I found that Twitter tools relies on “/wp-includes/js/prototype.js?ver=1.6″ which it inserts in the through the wp_head(); hook. There are probably other Plugins that rely on this same file.

    Is there a particular reason for this theme not to use the prototype file provided by WordPress? If not then would it be possible to amend the template so this file is called instead?

84. 84 Thomas

    Like the theme, very neat and clean, with a bit more width in the layout. I find the default and most derived from it are far too thin.

    Anyway, one question. Is it possible to get avatars, or ‘Gravitars’ working in the comments? I see them under my Wordpress admin pages when viewing comments, but not in the comments in the theme?

86. 86 nicatronTg
