Any help on this?

same issue here…haven’t found a solution yet but it appears innumerous themes….handy….

okay, thanks. I will go back to another theme.

It’s because you need to have your server running php5 where the preg_replace function has an extra parameter. Any theme that uses the new parameter won’t work on PHP4.

After many attempts with 1&1 hosting I was able to change to php5 and my theme is working correctly now. Thanks!!

wayneconnor – You Rock! Using DoDaddy hosting, I activated PHP 5.x and the error message went away for me too. Brandon (GoDaddy phone Tech support rep) read YOUR post and that helped him to relay the solution to me while we were on the phone. THANK YOU!

I am also getting the message:

Verified that web host is running PHP 5.0

I have a work around fix for…

Wrong parameter count for preg_replace()… wp-content/themes/sliding-door/functions.php on line 10

I am running MYSQL 5 with 1and1.co.uk and was getting the error with sliding doors version 1.8.7… So I went to the author’s site and downloaded an older version of sliding doors (version 1.4) from https://mac-host.com/slidingdoor/ (Click on the download link under the welcome section on the page). I uploaded this into WordPress and the error went away.

I would still like to use the latest verions of sliding doors but for now, this fix works for me.

Try this new version!

Try this version:

https://mac-host.com/support/theme/slidingdoor.zip

Thanks Wayne, the error has now gone with version 2.0!
Some feedback for you: On the main page title, the tails of letters are cut off, this affects ‘g’ and ‘y’ for instance. Also is there any way to may the background black again?
