Using an old template on a new WP

  • Hey,

    I performed a standard install of wordpress (2.3.1) via my cpanel and then I decided to get a decent looking theme. So I blew a couple of bucks on buying a theme off of a site that designs and sells them however I stupidly forgot to check what version of wordpress the theme was for.

    So I now have wordpress 2.3.1 installed and a theme for wordpress 2.0.X on it and its mostly working however there is a small database error and I’ve tried everything that I can think of and spent endless hours in the php but I really can’t figure it out.

    My website.. https://www.farrix.com

    See in the bottom right? Where the blogroll should be there is this random database error. Now I don’t care if I can’t have a blogroll in-fact I was planning on getting rid of it anyway however having the error there is driving me nuts…

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated…

  • Hey Farrix, without looking at the code thats generating the blogroll im guessing that its because it’s making an out of date call to get the blogroll,

    some tags were deprecated in v2.1

    try updating it with <?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘category_orderby=id’); ?>

    If that did’nt work then please post the bottom of that sidebar.php file on https://www.dedestruct.com and I will try to get one of our wordpress pros to look at it

    OR better yet, you can post the code at https://wordpress.pastebin.ca and one of the wordpress pros here will look at it.
