Just writing to support this suggestion, since you think people not speaking up means they don’t want it. Personally, I usually search for what I need and give up or find an alternate if I can’t figure it out on my own. Generally too lazy to ask – others are probably like me.

I currently post Addthis HTML buttons to the bottom of every post I make where I want to use it instead of using the plugin because I can’t turn it off for specific categories. This messes up my RSS feed also. Even if turning Addthis on/off for categories isn’t possible, I would at least like the ability to turn it on/off for each individual post at the user interface.

The reason I need this feature is because the majority of my posts are image galleries with a particular look that the Addthis buttons interfere with. I only want the plugin to be active on my news blog posts. I’m sure someone with more knowledge than me could hack this, but I, like many users, am not a coder so we really need user interface options to control the plugin.

notlaura, I think you’re right! I’m using Firefox now and the problem seems to be gone. Don’t know why it doesn’t work with Chrome.

I changed the name to WPFoliolio and it didn’t have any effect on my inability to change theme options. I’m at a total loss. I would just go back to wpfolio 1.5, but I wasn’t able to change theme options in that version either.

Thanks anyway. I’m subscribed to this thread, so if anyone suggests any ideas, I’ll be sure to give’em a try.

I guess I could solve the problem by bypassing the theme options menu and overwriting the stylesheet with my font & color choices. Kinda defeats the purpose of using a child theme though.

Hmm, not exactly sure what you’re asking me to test out. My folders look like this: wp-content > themes > wpfolio > styles.css. There is no “style.css folder” just the style.css file itself. Are you suggesting I change the name of the wpfolio directory that contains styles.css? I tried that and it broke the theme and my site reverted to Twenty Ten.

I was able to upload a background, so I deleted WPFolio and reinstalled as you suggested. I made sure all WPFolio files were gone before reinstalling. The problem persists.

Another observation about the problem: The theme option default for text is Arial, sans-serif, however the text on my site is displayed as a seriffed font. The strange thing is that this renders correctly for me with 1.5, but not with 1.7.

I’m having this problem (or a similar problem) myself. I just downloaded & installed WPFolio 1.7 and am currently using the included child theme, but I should mention that I was unable to save changes to my theme options even when version 1.5 was installed.

Specifically, here’s what is happening: I am getting an error specific to the Page Container Color option. The error says that Page Container Color is an “invalid value” even though I have never changed it and it is set to the default FFFFFF. If I try to change it to something else, I get the same error. And if I try to change any other field, I am unable to save my changes because of this error.

Not sure what to do from here — haven’t been able to find any solution (or example of anyone else with the same problem) in the WPFolio wiki or in the codex.
