This is a website by Sadish Bala, created to share the news, tips and tricks on using WordPress.
and I forgot to mention, there are changes in index.php and header.php too.
Selective upgrading is not intended to work for good for everyone.
Its always the best to get the latest version of the theme installed and then bring in your changes.
Thanks

Great theme – thanks, Sadish. Two issues …
1. I copied all my posts to it from blogger etc. when posting direct the formatting doesn’t display on the home page although it does on the individual post page. Not sure what I’ve done there.
2. How do we invoke the archive, links and comments page and 404 etc? they don’t show in Presentation/Terrafirms options.
Am running V3.1 on WP2

I think those posts are treated as “asides”. thats why they are displayed with no formatting.
try to go to TerraFirma Options page and see if that category (personal development) is set to be an Asides category. if yes, then change the dropdown to choose ‘not selected’
you should be ok. else report back.

Mel,
to answer the second question, they are the pages used by wordpress to handle user’s requests.
say for example, if the user clicks on the “october 2006″ monthly archive link from the sidebar, then archive.php will be invoked and similarly if a user typed some link that does not exist in our site, then 404.php will be invoked.
the pages you create, using wp-admin/ Write / Page , are the pages that you want to display to the users. like an about page, contact page etc.
these will be controlled by terrafirma options page.

You were right – it was set up as asides – now fixed! Dead easy – thanks.
Thanks for your patience with newbies.
Hi! Thanks for the cool design, I modified it a little bit and am using it for my site. I noticed that the whenever I take my cursor onto the links in the footer, the footer is sliding aside. Is there any way we could fix this. Waiting for your response. Thank you.
For the most recent version of TerraFirma, it appears to me that on the Theme Options page, the feature where you can …
Specify how those pages should be listed. alphabetically ? by order number ? or the date of creation ?
… is not working right. I’ve got four pages, all with order numbers 1-4, and the theme is not placing them in correct order.
Sadish, you have a login established if you want to go in and look at it…
Prajakala,
I tried your site yesterday it didnt work.
try validating your site at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fprajakala.org and see if that helps with your problem.
Rita, I will take a look at that, use the ‘contact’ page that you can find in the top navigation of this website and send me an email.
Thanks

Sadish,
Great theme. I’ve modified it quite a bit (but kept credits at the bottom). The site is garysheehan.com
I’ve noticed in IE 6.0 that Justify text doesn’t work well with an image in-line with the text. Essentially, the first line is ended prematurely (or the text does not expand enough). It works fine in Firefox. Any ideas why?
Also, in Firefox, when going from Home to another page (other than About), the page jumps about 5 pixels to the right. It does not do this in IE.
Thanks for the great theme!

Hi Sadish,
I am sorry my site was down yesterday. My site had validation errors, it was because of a plugin, once I deactivated that plugin, my site is validated.
But my problem is with the footer, as I said whenever I take my cursor onto the links in the footer, the footer is sliding aside. In fact you need not test it in my site, it’s the same in your page too. http://try.wpthemepark.com/
Just point the cursor on the terrafirma link or wordpress theme link in the footer and you can see how the footer behaves. Looking for a solution from you. Thank you.
