Shades 1.1
Once again we jumped in our version numbers, this time from Shades version 1.0.4.1 to Shades version 1.1; and, once again it was due to big changes in the theme. Here is the changelog for version 1.1 as it was just uploaded to WordPress.org:
-- Version 1.1
- update search box; added simple scripting
- added "Edit" link to page.php template
- re-coded searchform.php
- edited sidebar.php to use new searchform.php
- CSS (edit): input:focus, textarea:focus -> changed 'padding-bottom: 30px' to 'padding: 1px 0;'
- CSS (new): input#s { width: 70%; }
- CSS (new): .textwidget form {text-align:center;}
- CSS (new): added BNS Plugins section at end of style.css
* child theme Shades of Darkness updated to version 1.0.1
NB: As of version 1.1 the following deprecated files have been removed from the theme core files:
* home.php
* header-home.php
I would like to mention the removal of the home.php and header-home.php files will have absolutely no effect on the current version of the Shades theme as they make absolutely no use of them. The original menu code utilized these files but since then I have optimized the code and no longer need the extra files. Although not necessary, those long time users of the Shades theme can feel free to delete the theme and re-install with a completely fresh current copy to remove the deprecated files; or, FTP to your blog and remove the files manually.
I would also like to point out that a minor update to the Shades child theme, Shades of Darkness, has also been made. It’s changelog is as follows:
== Changelog ==
as of Aug 14, 2009
----
= Version 1.01 =
* CSS (new): #header-center p { color:#635537; } to show blog description
----
= Version 1.0 =
* Initial release
We hope you enjoy both of these updates!

Hey Ed, loving Shades : ) but getting pretty ticked-off by the function.file error being produced at the bottom of the page. Been trying to solve it for a few hours and ended up stumbling upon your post on WP Tavern (thanks google
).
Has that been put into the 1.1 update, or is it still in the works? I’ve already upgraded but no change
highly frustrating trying to edit the php and finding the elusive .ini, especially since I’m a coding noob.
Hope to hear from you, and keep up the great work!

MDY´s last blog … Wagayaaaaaa
I’ll review the code shortly (as in within the hour) and get an update to WordPress.org as soon as possible (as in today!). I believe I know exactly what the issue is, now, so it should only take a moment or two to fix. Once solved, I can send you a complete new updated theme file if you wish … just let me know.
The update has been uploaded to WordPress.org; look for version 1.1.1 to correct this issue. I apologize for any inconveniences.
