No new content, but update to the site layout

Not that long ago, I switched to the travelogue theme for my site. I still like it, but version 2 has been released. The changes are definitely for the better (for one, I can change the title without having to use photoshop…).

I expect that it will take a few days to get things configured. Until then, don’t be surprised if things are broken.

As soon as I get that done, I promise to post some real content.

The plugin can be found here. If you plan to use it yourself, there is one small change you need to make. Normally, I’d get the theme creator to fix the problem, but he seems to be gone for 2 years.

I kept getting an error about upgrade-functions.php , which turned out to be because the initial install has a function called travelogue2_install (located in plugins/travelogue2-install.php) that is only supposed to be called once. It adds a table to the database called t2.

In functions.php (in the travelogue2 theme directory), the call to this function checks to see if the table exists before calling the install function. Unfortunately, the table it looks for is called travelogue2. Since the other references to the table refer to t2, changing the check to be t2 as well makes the theme stop generating errors.

As well, the archive.php file calls an undefined function called af_ela_super_archive – you can just comment it out (put // directly in front of it).

Update:

I had added Lightbox support myself to the previous theme. Instead of doing that again, I figured using a WordPress Lightbox plugin made more sense. Since I followed the setup without changing anything in my original implementation, all the previous lightbox enabled posts work just fine.

Next on the list is a image handling plugin and I should be all set for the short term.
