Northern Web Coders theme breaks in 1.5.1

  • The Northern Web Coders theme that worked fine in 1.5 is returning a database error (completely clean install x2 to make sure I wasn’t messing up…).

    Here’s the error message:
    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘time_modified’ in ‘order clause’]
    SELECT * FROM waitepost_posts WHERE post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY time_modified ASC

    This can temporarily be seen at https://www.waitepost.com until I either find a fix or change themes.

    The theme is available at https://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php.

    Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this–my database knowledge is, shall we say, limited!

  • Is there a column called time_modified? I know there’s one called post_modified. Is this a typo or maybe the Northern theme includes a plugin that modifies the post table?

    source reveals this
    <div id=’error’>
    guessing that could be part of the problem, as ming has deduced…

    I think that’s a typo, i have tested it, and in wp-content/northern-web-coders/header.php in line 30

    change the content to
    <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=post_modified&title_li=’); ?>

    then it works.

    Thank you for the responses. Another solution came from the theme developer:

    In the header.php file, the following line:
    <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=time_modified&title_li=’); ?>
    needs to change to:
    <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>

    i’m trying to work with this theme also. when i open up the header.php file to apply the fix, this is all that’s there:

    a€￠ Here
    a€￠ are
    a€￠ the
    a€￠ Pagelinks

    anybody else have this problem, or maybe there’s something i’m doing wrong?

    yeah, that’s what i wanted to do, but when i open the header.php file there is nothing there but these links:

    a€￠ Here
    a€￠ are
    a€￠ the
    a€￠ Pagelinks

    there’s nothing to browse through or change, no nothin’. maybe i got a bum download, but i’ve downloaded it a few times and it’s always the same. weird.

    Paste your header.php to https://pastebin.com and post back with the URI.

    hey, this pastebin site isn’t working. any other way i can get it to you?

    this is weird. when i upload the header into this pastebin thing, it looks like this:

    https://pastebin.ca/29366

    but when i just open up the header and copy and paste it in it looks like this:

    https://pastebin.ca/29367

    how do i get to the code that shows up in the first one?

    (@moshu)

    Where do you “open and copy paste”?
    To edit the file you should use a text editor which would show it exactly as in the first pastebin link.

    i’m on a mac, so i’m using textedit.

    moshu

    (@moshu)

    Well, then there is something wrong with that editor. Are the other template files showing up “normally” – I mean as code?

    drewski

    (@drewski)

    yeah, that’s the only file i’ve ever had a problem with. i just opened it up with text wrangler, and that seems to work. thanks for all the help. let’s see if i can get up and working now.
