Hello.

I'm using two of your themes (Munch and Garden), and noticed today that the Opera browser didn't use the stylesheet when I displayed my sites in full screen mode.

I removed "projection" from the media tag on the stylesheet link in header.php and Opera full screen worked correctly. Does "projection" do anything useful?

Love your themes! And thanks for the links to all those CSS sites in the FAQ, great stuff....

Regards,

Dale

Which theme (versions) showed the errors in Opera?
Your Opera version?
Another reason might be also the Opera options.
You may use the latest Opera version (9.5 at this time).

Just curious, as my main site, this forum and also my other themes are working perfect in full screen mode with the "projection" tag.

Hi, Milo. Thanks for replying.

Both themes showed the error, and both worked okay once I removed "projection" as I describe below.

Opera is at version 9.52, and style.css indicates the Garden theme is at version 3.0. I can't remember now if I got the theme from the WordPress theme directory or your site. I tried out about twenty of your themes, some from both places.

The line of code I actually changed is toward the end of header.php. The line just before it is:

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/sweetTitles.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The line I changed was this one, from which I removed "projection":

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/sweetTitles.css" media="screen,projection" />

I put it back in my header.php file for http://www.afewgoodpens.com and the error is occurring again -- so if you want to try it and let me know what happens, that would be great. I'll leave it in until I hear from you.

Thanks,

Dale

Strange, I got this error too.

Might be caused by the sweetTitles CSS call, although the other themes do work.
I suggest to delete the call to the CSS in your header file and paste it into the main CSS file.

On another site it might be a good idea to enable a cache plugin, pls have a look in your site source: various plugins are calling js and CSS files.
To speed that up wpcache or supercache plugin would sort that out easily.

Hi, thanks for checking and letting me know.

I'm not sure what you mean by "paste it into the main CSS file." Which file should I paste it into?

Regarding the cache plugins ... I can't use supercache because it requires changes to .htaccess and my web host (Yahoo!) doesn't allow an .htaccess file. WP_cache, on the other hand, requires me to create a "symbolic link" (according to the installation instructions) using a Unix/Linux command... but so far I've not found a way to run a command like that on my host. Without running the command, the plugin fails when I try to activate and configure it.

Yahoo included its own cache plugin for WP blogs created using the install procedure they provided, which was how I started afewgoodpens.com originally. However, when I upgraded the site to WP 2.5 on my own, their plugin no longer worked and I removed it because I knew they wouldn't support it or upgrade it since I had essentially overlayed their install by upgrading WP. Someday I will move both my sites to another host (though, truth is, the only time I have problems with Yahoo is when I want to do something that requires .htaccess).

I've been looking at pulling out some of the plugins and other functions that use javascript to lighten the load and improve response time, just haven't decided which ones yet. Thanks for the suggestions, though....

Regards,

Dale

Copy this CSS file
http://snipurl.com/3mtt9
and paste it here
http://snipurl.com/3mtth
through your WP theme admin panel, then delete this call from header php:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.afewgoodpens.com/blog/wp-content/themes/garden-317/css/sweetTitles.css" media="screen,projection" />

I remember from a prior client that Yahoo hosting is not the best choice,
suggesting either changing hosts to alternatives like bluehost, dreamhost or mt, where you get full support for all needful things or
use the speedy cache, however with that amount of js calls ( through plugins) and inline styles it might not work.

Thanks very much for the excellent instructions. I just applied the change you suggested and Opera full-screen works correctly now.

Yahoo definitely presents some challenges, but for the most part, I've not been annoyed enough by it to take on moving my sites. Not yet anyway....

Thanks for the link to weboptimization.com ... I had heard of it before and have been using it to start picking my site apart. Also, Google's new Chrome browser has some integrated functions (similar to the Firefox Firebug extension) that are helping me to see the performance of different elements of the site. I've learned some interesting things, and have trimmed a bit over the past couple of days.

I'll definitely check out your new Garden theme.... It looks great, can't wait to give it a go.

You've been very helpful, and I really do appreciate it....

Regards,

Dale
