I bet it’s the asides. I haven’t tried using Kiwi with any asides yet, but it’s on the todo.

I’m catching wind of some Windows Firefox rendering issues. Could anyone enlighten me? I’m working under OSX and have no idea what the incompatabilities might be (given it’s valid CSS and XHTML).

Thanks for the support, folks! I really didn’t anticipate as much interest in this theme as people are expressing, so I guess I’ll keep working and add some more options!

You can leave option suggestions here.

Ronco, I have no idea what the slang of cracker means in this context, but I’ll take it as a compliment.

Kiwi is now available for download.

It’s now got a management panel!
You can’t control font size from there, but I suppose I could add Shaun Inman’s dynamic CSS to make that work…

Excellent. Thanks for the link.

Does anyone know if Mint uses the same lookup service?

Interesting. Exact same problem with my WP-ShortStat install yesterday.

Does this plugin “phone home” or something? I haven’t looked at the code at all, maybe I should …

The Feature (random post sidebar plugin thing) is here, sorry for the delay in getting it to this thread. It’s been out for a while.

Well, thanks to a hardware problem, Kiwi won’t be out this week.
Sorry folks.

Sorry to keep everyone waiting for the public release. I think I’ve got most of the major bugs worked out, so I’ll be releasing the beta version into the wild this week.

More details to come…

It would be something like this:

function get_cat_id_using_name($catname) {
global $wpdb;

$request = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_ID FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE cat_name = ‘$catname’ “);

return $request->cat_ID;

}

I posted a reply on the plugin page.

I really like that admin page idea. I’ll have to do that…

That function isn’t built into WordPress, but it should be simple enough to write plugin or script that does that.

Are you good with PHP?

The Featured Post plugin is available as promised. Here.

It’s alpha material, so backup those databases before using if you’re going to help test and develop it.

No, Kiwi hasn’t been released yet. I’m currently developing a version of the theme that will be a bit easier to customize and make your own.

I’ll post an update detailing the to-do list and how far along I am. Hopefully, Kiwi will be out in beta for you all to play with and debug in the coming weeks.

As far as the plugins go, I’ll post the_feature() source sometime tonight or tomorrow, hopefully someone with more extensive php skills (and time) can help me debug and streamline it. The the_meta_image() plugin source is already out, suggestions welcomed on it as well.

If you have an IE stylesheet you can add “overflow-x: hidden;” to the appropriate divs. You may lose a few pixels of content in IE, but I just don’t bother with IE much anymore. I’ve decided I can’t support their nonsense.
