Alright, have done that and uploaded. I suppose I need to repeat the error and find the debug file somewhere to post here? Awaiting further instructions!

[edit] Alright…extremely stupid mistake that suddenly struck me! I had uploaded an index.html to ‘cover’ the blog while I revamp it and all. Removing the index.html file solves it immediately. It completely makes sense, just sorry that I had to go one whole big round about it thinking it was a more complicated matter. –Just FYI for anyone googling.

I actually got it!

Another search on google on how WP handles untitled posts led me to functions.php. Specifically, they mentioned how null-title posts can be handled in this file. So I took a look at the theme’s function.php and found this:

// empty titles
add_filter( 'the_title', 'erdt_empty_title' );
function erdt_empty_title( $title ) {
	if ( '' == $title )
		$title = __('[NO TITLE]', 'erudite');

	return $title;
}

I then proceeded to simply delete the [NO TITLE] attribute and it worked like magic.

Posting here for anyone who needs it. Should apply for all themes!

Ohh…I understand what you’re trying to say. It’s a little weird because I think this is the first time a theme has displayed something like (a rather quite unsightly) [NO TITLE] for an untitled post.

In my experience with WordPress all these years, I do remember them either being a blank space or simply the Post ID for replacement. Or in general quite nicely taken care that I didn’t have to fuss with them. (Either that or my memory is fuzzy.)

Thanks you for the time you took to look at it tho!

Hello!

Thanks so much for the reply! Is it possible for you to get the theme from here? https://somadesign.ca/projects/the-erudite/ Comes with complete CSS and everything else!

Hey! Most likely that was due to just a bad/corrupted file. Do a clean delete of the theme off your server and if you want to really play safe, download all the files from the SVN again and then try uploading the new ones.

PS. I think I also remember that under the “JS” folder, I had used the original JScript file (that came with the one without post formats). The one provided by the SVN didn’t work for me too. Not sure why.

Thank you so much for the link! I’ve been looking for Manifest theme with the updated post formats, and noticed it was available for wordpress.com blogs, but not self-hosted ones.

I am just curious, so this site https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/ would store all the themes available on wordpress.com? I am bookmarking it but I’m curious as to how you found it. (:

After reading the arguments through and fro, I still have to conclude that I do not like backing up useless data. ie. post revisions. It’s not about how well text “compresses”. I don’t even want to spend that extra second downloading junk.

We’re not even asking for you guys to remove the feature, we just want an option to disable it. I don’t think it’s a useless option, rather an option that will make all users happy. Because those we need the revisions can happily have theirs while those who do not need it can do away with it.

I’m wondering why I’m even typing so much because the plugin by Exper works beautifully. So really, at this point of time, I don’t really care what the final decision about this is. But I guess this is all I can do to get the message out (if it even reaches anyone).

I think this was posted by someone else in another thread regarding this:

Seems like core developers are giving off more and more responsibility to plugin authors.

Haha…I happened to be the 1% who’s not a fan of pretty permalinks. ^^” Most of my post titles are in Japanese anyway…that’s why. >_< Anyhow! I found a plugin that solved my ID problem! Just plugging it here for anyone who needs it. https://exper.3drecursions.com/2008/07/25/disable-revisions-and-autosave-plugin/

Oh nope lol. Nothing to do with plugins. I just want my Post IDs to stop jumping everytime I edit a post. It seems that even with some of the “anti-post-revisions” plugins and methods installed, the IDs still jump anyway.

Hey microkid, thanks for directing me here but I’m a little lost as to how I can implement your fix? >_<

Like which file to edit…?

Ahh…Gamerz: I’m not sure if your fix is working. The IDs are still jumping whenever I edit something. I think all it does is to take away the “Post Revisions” portion from post.php. =/

And even auto-saves are now being assigned their own IDs? (Besides prolonging the autp-save interval.) This is bad. =( Is there a quick fix we could use to undo this? (ie. go back to the 2.5 way of doing things.)

I don’t like the post revision feature as well. It’s not an issue of whether I have enough space or not in the database for those extra entries. I simply do not need them. Thus these entries are gonna be sitting in the database, rotting away and collecting dust. Now that’s not a very good use of resources is it?

I think that some sites (like what microkid mentioned) such as larger organisations would love the feature, but in any case, I think an option to turn it off would be great. That way, it’ll satisfy all users. (:

Otto: I’ve always had good impressions of the main WP support team here, but sadly, you have tarnished that image. I think you just failed to understand that the majority of users are using WP for a simple blog and do not need the post revision feature. It is not about “SPACE IS CHEAP.” Only a minority (when compared relatively) are using it as a full-fledged CMS.

Meanwhile, thanks for the temporary fix, Gamerz.

You just need to add <?php the_time() ?> into your theme files. I’m not sure which file it may be, but that’s the snippet to display the time. (:
