See the Greek translation become more and more Laconic! Ha!

(Everyone says, oh i see what you did there…)

Anyway I filed the two bug reports over at the google code and I think fixed one of them. I must have broken numbered lists back when I added the CSS reset (v2.4 or so).

Thanks as usual and as always for the help & interest, D.

Congratulations!

I just updated and pushed the Greek translations. The number of strings has decreased pleasantly. :-)

A couple of stylistic issues I noticed:

First, OL lists do not have item numbers. It seems that their styling is reset at the beginning of the stylesheet and then no list-style-type is specified.

Second, if a list, OL or UL, is immediately followed by an element without margin-top (like a heading) the result does not look good because there is no space between the two.

A way to deal with this would be to add some margin-bottom to OL and UL. (In that case, margin-bottom:0 should be specified for OL OL, OL UL, UL OL and UL UL, to avoid extraneous spacing within lists with nested lists.)

Also, v2.5.1 made me rethink how I should deal with themes that filter get_the_excerpt in my Extra Options plugin. (I need the manual excerpt in its raw form in order to use it as a meta-description in the HTML head.) I ended up using remove_all_filters, which seems to work well for now.

Cheers!

The 2.4.1 version did not pass an improved WordPress/extend review process. While the 2.4.1 code works with the latest WordPress, the review pointed out many possible improvements and we expect a cleaned up new version to be re-submitted for approval soon, along with a couple of new surprise features.

You can see the review’s specific objections in this ticket: https://code.google.com/p/simplish/issues/detail?id=30

And the work since on those issues and other improvements in the many changelog entries today.

You probably need to modify the $content_width value set in simplish/functions.php on line 5. See http://www.bloggingteacher.com/setting-max-image-size-for-your-wordpress-themes for a quick explanation.

You can use WordPress’s “child themes” features to keep your own changes like these separated from the base theme code. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes for the official documentation, or a tutorial at http://op111.net/53 .

Hi, I posted a large image on one of my pages, and something automatically scaled it down to fit. Then I deleted the sidebar code from all the pages in the theme editor, but the image still stays how small it is. Full size, the image should fit in the new page (without the sidebar). I’ve tried deleting the cache. I’ve tried deleting and re-uploading the picture. The sidebar is not there. I’ve exhausted all the options I know of…what should I do?

Seems reasonable. I’ve filed two new enhancement tickets:
http://code.google.com/p/simplish/issues/detail?id=24
http://code.google.com/p/simplish/issues/detail?id=25

And thanks as always for the astute input.

When I saw “Support new custom menus”, I thought for a moment you added an horizontal navigation menu to Simplish! :-o

You people are fast! Congratulations!

If I may add two little suggestions for a future release:

1. Change the charset declaration to the hypercompact style recommended for HTML5. See: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12483

2. Add ARIA landmark roles. They are perfectly valid HTML5, very easy to incorporate, and recommended by the accessibility people. See again a WordPress trac ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13055
