I bought the Smarter theme but haven't found a detailed installation guide... I'm trying to set up a website for my cousin's new startup. Here is the URL: <a href="http://www.pattonwine.com.php5-8.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pattonwine.com.php5-8.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/</a></p> <p>Why doesn't it look at bit like your demo site? I've checked the options in the backend to get the slide to show up and it won't do that or show the colored box at the top. Am I just installing this completely wrong?? Please help me understand what I'm missing here.

I installed Thematic via the WP dashboard but uploaded Commune manually, so I checked the permissions and - sure enough - they didn't match (Commune vs. Thematic, that is). So I changed Commune's permissions to match those of Thematic, thinking I was on to something. Alas, I still get a 404 error when I try to access Commune's style sheet directly and the site itself still is unstyled when Commune is activated. I even tried clearing the cache.</p> <p>Weird.</p> <p>Matt </p> http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/topic/does-commune-work-w-wp3#post-329 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:38:56 +0000 muhkayoh 329@http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I downloaded and installed the Commune theme on a WP3 installation to play with as I teach myself about child themes in general. The problem I'm having is that, when I activate the theme, the site exhibits no styling whatsoever. If I activate Thematic itself, all is well, but nothing for Commune. I've also successfully activated two other, non-Thematic-based child themes. Is there something about Commune that prevents it from working with WP3? It seems more likely that I'm doing something wrong, but heck if I can figure out what it is. Any guidance would be appreciated.</p> <p>thanks,</p> <p>Matt </p> http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/topic/featured-carousel-errors#post-325 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:38:54 +0000 Madalin 325@http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/ <p>To enable slider auto-rotate you must do the following:<br /> Go to the theme directory (wp-content/themes/smarter).

So first of all backup your Smarter 1.1<br /> - Delete Smarter 1.1<br /> - Upload Smarter 2.1<br /> - Recreate the main menu using Wordpress 3.0 menus (don't forget to set the primary menu)<br /> - If the widget areas are empty you'll find them in the inactive widget area (this shouldn't happen but if it dose that doesn't mean you lost all your widgets. Just need to position them back).</p> <p>I think this is it. Let us know if you have problems with the new version. </p> http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/topic/upgrading-from-11-to-21#post-318 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:29:50 +0000 godfly 318@http://www.cozmoslabs.com/forums/ <p>Can we get instructions please?
