[...] Y, por analogía, voy a “estrenar” una nueva presentación para este blog, por eso de variar un poco. Le faltan algunas cosillas por depurar, pero por el momento va que chuta. En esencia, es una copia barata de Waterlily 2.0, con decoraciones más horteras (nombre código: ChuloPlaya), para cambiarlo un poco. En todo caso ya veré si el cambio es permanente. [...]

I really like the theme that you have, but it contains this error:
Warning: main(wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/…/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/waterlily-20/header.php on line 7

Really nice theme, would be better if the psd’s were in the file so that it could be adjusted. Than again wrote the Author 2 emails and never got a reply from either one.

Any miracle you could provide the psd’s or a rendition minus the water lillys?

The solution provided in comment #17 only works for me fixing for ie7, but at the same time it makes topbanner2 disapear in ie6 and Firefox 1.5.0.7. Some other solution? maybe?

Awesome theme easy to edit the images.

A more compatible solution based on comment #17:
Insert this in header.php after the command :#topbanner2 {
height: auto;

}

Re: #18, PHP 5 issues:
I’ve fixed the comments.php syntax (took me a bloody hour though), people can download it at the following url:
http://www.ephemeraproject.org/blog/wp-content/themes/waterlily-20/comments.phpsAlso, the “Home” link in single.php has been hard-coded as “/index.php”, which is incorrect for some people (certainly for me); the author should replace this with:
<?php echo get_settings(’home’); ?>
But it’s a great-looking theme though

Update 11.22.06
I’ve updated the theme now so that it renders nicely in IE7. Sorry, but IE7 didn’t exist when I first created the theme!
I also made some significant improvements and changes to some of the main template files, changes include:
***Category pages show show titles, excerpts and comment count on the posts - all category pages have “Currently Browsing - *Category Name*” listed at the top so the visitor knows where they are, exactly.
***Monthly pages show show titles, excerpts and comment count on the posts - all monthly pages have “Currently browsing posts made in *Month/Year*” listed at the top.
***Search results page show titles, excerpts and comment count on the posts.
***404 Error page included.
Some tweaks and modifications to the CSS stylesheet to include some additional generic and standard styling - including styling for the calendar feature that I hadn’t included in the original release.
Comments are also now displayed in alternate colors (setting one comment apart from the other).
Cheers, and enjoy!

Love your site and all your work! I took especially to this one.. blue is my color and waterlillies are just beautiful…combine that with the crisp and clean appearance; and to sum it up it’s just really inviting and calm! I’m new at this and your talent has really been helpful! I’ve chosen it as my theme of the week and have several picked for the weeks to follow! Check it out at moviestarchat.com…thanks for all your work and talent!
Looking forward to future projects- keep up the good work! Loved the date-nite story!Comment by Laura Montgomery — January 17, 7:06

I love this theme, but I’m having a bit of an issue with it. The smiley images show up in a box with a light blue background instead of being transparent (as they have been in every other theme I’ve used). Can I get a fix for this?
Thanks!!

I used this theme, but in IE6 the layout is all screwed up (sidebar doesn’t exist, it just becomes one big block)…

Updated 6.12.07
Cleaned up a few minor things in the stylesheet
Added in the wp_footer for added functionality, if needed.
Fixed the buggy issue of the sidebar collapsing when comments are closed on a post.
This theme is now begin managed on my site at http://waterlily.blogdesignsolutions.com
Thanks and Cheers!

Charming! I wonder if the psds are included….
Comment by Gio — July 14, 17:19
Thanks, Gio.
I didn’t include the PSDs on this, sorry
Comment by Lisa Sabin-Wilson — July 14, 17:35
what is a psd?
Comment by Elisabeth — July 15, 2:48
PSDs are the layered graphic files of the graphics used to create the template. You could use the PSDs to change the graphics used in the template if they had been included. I did not include them here.

THis is a great theme, but I get this error message on a new install.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_theme_switcher() in /home/icanduco/public_html/aharding/10/wp-content/themes/waterlily-20/sidebar.php on line 79
thanks

Comment by Eric — August 4, 1:10
Trying out this theme, and saw your error. Easy enough to fix:
Open up the file sidebar.php in a text editor. Look for the very last line, the one with the word “wp_theme_switcher” in it.
Delete that line, save the file, and re-upload it.
Comment by Wolven — August 4, 22:04
Thanks for the catch! I left the theme switcher in there by mistake and have updated the theme… should be fine, now
Comment by Lisa Sabin-Wilson — August 11, 1:48
Really nice theme, too bad there are no PSDs, it’s a little too complex to customize without having the layers.
Comment by Anton — August 18, 22:40
Love the theme.
Though waterlillies aren’t lotuses, close enough for a yoga site.
Thanks!

[...] 在模版选型阶段,反复研究了很多知名Blog,最后确立了我的选型原则:朴素而不失个性、柔和而不乏色彩,功能倒在其次了。毕竟优化HTML/CSS还难不倒我,但美工方面我就只能蹙额兴叹了。纵览百余模版,奈何无一打动我心,正在彷徨若失之间,蓦然发现了一朵“出水芙蓉”,那一瞥的惊艳,恍如又回到了朱自清笔下那皎洁的月色,静谧的荷塘…… [...]

need a css update for ie7
just comment out the line above in style.css
#topbanner2 {
width: 786px;
/* height: 177px; */
background: url(images/header2.jpg) no-repeat;
}
why? ie7 is somehow more css-strict. so if the div has a height specified, that height attribute is stricty applied.

oops… i forgot to say:
for php5: the if/then/else and foreach syntax in comments.php is deprecated, plz update to work with php5. cheers
