dkret3 4.4.1 error

The new version is fully OK BUT requires WordPress 3.1. Sorry for that.

You can update WordPress to the 3.1 RC2 or need to make changes to the index.php inside the dkret3 folder (the theme uses a new WordPress 3.1 function to support “post formats”).

change line 27 of index.php to:

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘get_post_format’ ) && ‘aside’ == get_post_format( $post->ID ) ) : ?>

Ah, gotcha. Well, perhaps I’ll just leave the theme installed and use the default WP theme until the final, official version of WP 3.1 is released (should be any day).

I’m glad it was a simple fix, and thanks for the reply!

Sorry again for not checking before uploading to the theme pool. I wanted to get this new version out because of some fundamental bug fixes.

Anyway: It is not a big deal to change that one line inside index.php.

Apology accepted!

But…can I assume the errors below are for the same reason as the ones above – not being on WP 3.1?

I must say that I had a bad experience. I clicked on the autoupdate for the theme, and as soon as doing that the entire dashboard stops working and just generates the error message below! I had to go back to a backup before I could do anything with WordPress again. This is a pretty serious problem for the casual blogger.

hello I am that casual blogger that you speak of,I just downloaded this theme to my site and I get the same Warning: require_once(/home/sheddysh/public_html/wp-content/themes/dkret3/library/functions/core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sheddysh/public_html/wp-content/themes/dkret3/functions.php on line 51

I do not know how to go to backup or what to do, my site is completely useless any help on how to go to back up or any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Is your site using dkret3 as a Child Theme?

The autoupdate doesn’t seem to understand Child Themes and only installs dkret3 files for the folders that exist in your child theme and not the rest. That usually means a lot will be missing and it messes up your whole admin.

If you download the dkret3 .zip file to your webspace manually (using ftp or your cpanel) and extract the files into the wp-content/themes/dkret3 folder things should start working again.

If we had switched back to using dkret3 as the active theme rather than our child theme before updating, I think the autoupdate would have worked fine.

It is NO problem to update dkret3 if you use a child theme. That’s the way I do it on my own sites.

Maybe your host has problems with the automatic theme update? It works here without any problems.

I suggest downloading the actual dkret3 version and upload it with ftp to the themes directory.

Just checked the actual version that you can download at the theme pool. And version 4.4.1 is corrupt!

A lot of required files are missing. I will upload a fixed version right now.

Blame the folks of WordPress for that. The theme was reviewed and checked.

It must just have been a strange coincidence that the folders that I had in my child theme are the only ones in the layout folder of the corrupt version from the theme pool. Anyway you have figured out the real reason for the bad crashes, so thank-you and sorry for any confusion in trying to resolve.

I already uploaded a fixed version which is compatible with WordPress 3.0 too. Everybody should update dkret to verison 4.5 to be on the safe side.

The new version adds some convenient links to the new admin bar too.

dkret 4.5 works with WP3.0.4 by automatic update!

Gru? Oeffi

NOT HAPPY!!! I just installed wordpress 3.1.1 for a new client and she chose the dkret3 theme and it crashed her site. We got the same errors jtstunner mentioned above. We could not get even get into the site in any way, not even through admin. The only thing I could do was uninstall the wordpress database and reinstall it as a new account!!! Thank goodness we were just starting out and didn’t have any posts out there that we lost!!! Thinking it must have been a fluke, I reinstalled wordpress and did chose the theme again and the same thing happened. You can bet we won’t choose it a third time, even though it looks like a great themem!!!!
