Dear Edward, I’m from chile and I’m taking up your Mess Mirrored Desk 1.5.1 and I have a question, as I can change the size of the attachment you code wrapper, # wrapper (
margin: 0 auto;
width: 977px;
background-image: url (images / main-page-middle.png)
background-repeat: repeat-y;
position: relative;
)
background image wider need it, you can give me an idea, really wish I’m developing new blogs
@Gonzalo – You can change the images then make the necessary changes to the element widths. Just make sure to review all the necessary images and html elements to be changed.
[...] Desk Mess Mirrored 1.5.1 by Edward Caissie, and it’s available on the site for download at http://buynowshop.com/themes/desk-mess-mirrored/. I haven’t changed a thing, purely because I don’t think it needs to be changed. I love [...]
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home6/halliesa/public_html/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 432
This is the error that shows up on my pages when I activated Desk Mess. What is wrong?
@Hallie – Although I am not able to directly find the root cause of this error, I am also not able to reproduce it in version 1.6 which is currently in the review queue at WordPress.org … I will put a link to a temporary download until version 1.6 is approved.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for reporting this issue.
@Hallie – I would like to thank you again for pointing out this issue. As I noted you were using a very recent WordPress 3.0 RC3 version I investigated further across several of my test servers. I also noted this issue is affected more than the Desk Mess Mirrored theme.
Another, and more likely better, solution in this case is to not update but completely overwrite the entire installation files with a fresh downloaded copy from WordPress.
Here is a link to the most current version: http://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip
How do I get more “post-it” notes on top of the page. It only shows the About page.
@Andy – Simply add more pages … maybe you could write a page that tells your travel itinerary for the summer? As you add top-level (or parent) pages their titles will appear as sticky notes along the top beside the About sticky.

hi，this theme is really cool!!!!!!!!
I did try downloading the updated theme via the link provided but the new theme did not let me remove the widget either. Im using WP 3.0. Am I following the wrong link?
I figured it out, buy placing another widget in the sidebar 2, it eliminted the Meta. I love this theme. Thank you for the effort you put into it, it’s truly fabulous.
@Pat – Yes, putting your choice of widget in Sidebar 2 will “overwrite” the default Meta widget links. I will be adding a description to the widget areas in a future update that describes what the defaults are for each widget area.
[...] latest version of Desk Mess Mirrored is live at WordPress.org; and, as we return to our tradition of showcasing our latest theme work it [...]
Greetings:
I tried adding a widget to sidebar 2 to eliminate the default widgets too. But it did not work and all the originals are still there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work and great design. Francis
@francis – Thank you for choosing Desk Mess Mirrored as you theme but it appears there are other issues at hand as the footer is no longer appearing. If you have edited the theme and require additional assistance I do offer premium support via my WordPress Services page. Feel free to contact us there.
@Yamasha – I just checked your web site for validation issues … it passed.
All I can say is wow. My friend picked up this theme and I must say it really is nice. I want it so bad but I don’t want to straight copy him. Then again, we do have the same main page theme…LOL Great job tho. The next one should have a blackberry with a donut and some milk. Maybe a newpaper. You could make this a series of themes.
@Dennis – Thanks for the compliments … and I like the idea of a series of themes, too!

Hellu:
I tried to upload the Multi version from this website, but it doesn’t seem to work. At least the RSS cup picture doesn’t upload. I’m new to this kind of stuff. Any help is appreciated. Awesome theme anyway – I love it! Cheers Olle
@Olle – I have not received any notice of this child-theme having issues. How did you upload and activate Multi?
Hey Cais! I see you added the RSS to the coffee cup in the child theme. Yay. Now I can safely update right? LOL. I’m still on version 1.1.1.
@Paige – I imagine you could update to the current version of DMM (v1.6 at the moment with more features in v1.7 soon to be released) and then use the Multi child-theme (it has the RSS image in the cup).
Thanks! You are amazing.
@Paige – Thank you! You are much too kind
Hi,
I updated to v 1.7 this morning and, sadly the Search feature no longer works when added as a widget. Do I need to do anything other than drag and drop to put it on the sidebar?
Viki
@Viki – Thank you for updating to the latest version of DMM, I was not aware of this issue and will have to investigate further to find a working solution.
I would appreciate if you could install my BNS-Support plugin. Place it in one of the sidebar widget areas; turn on the option to show active plugins; copy and paste the information it displays on your home page; and, email it to me. This is more for reference as I am able to re-create this issue already. Thanks.
@Viki – There seems to have been a small issue with the searchform.php template file. The correction will be included with the next release version but that may be some time away. In the meantime you may download this compressed file; un-zip it; then, overwrite the existing theme files with these replacements.
Hi Edward,
I’m currently trying to move over to wordpress and selecting a theme for my new site. I LOVE the desk mess mirrored theme especially the post-it notes at the top and the parchment look. I was wondering though, if I am able to keep everything but insert my own custom header.. please advise.
Thanks
Cheers
Andrea
@Andrea – Absolutely! It’s those end-users that make changes like you are wanting that I particularly like to look at for my showcase posts.
Wow! I’m floored by the digital scrapbooking quality’s site! It’s a creative alternative of your fab theme
Question is – so how exactly do I edit the codes to insert my custom header? I tried looking through it but couldn’t find the code that I should change.. so I’ll need some advice on that.
Thanks much for replying – I appreciate it!
@Andrea – The current images are presented via CSS, have a look at #headerleft, #logo, and #cup in the style.css file. Otherwise, look at the code in header.php contained by the id #header-container.
Hi Edward,
Thanks for the reply once again! Will try it out and let you know once everything is up and running
Cheers!
