Flynn, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just got the newest Athualpa version running on the newspaper site. I had already planned how I'd do the ads and the new widget area at the top under the logo. It went very well, with no glitches at all. Whew! I was concerned about that, I must say.

I didn't even experience the problem you warn about on the add new widget areas page. I didn't have to load the front page more than once to see the new area.

The only tiny problem I'm having now is that the Blogroll is showing up in the right sidebar now, but never before, and I can't see it in the widgets area at all. It doesn't even show up in the Links categories, so this is weird. I think I did rename blogroll to Our Sponsors quite a long time ago. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

Other than that, things seem fine at http://www.larchmontgazette.com. Oh, and since last night, the site has been loading very slowly, but that was before I made all the changes. I think there must be something wrong at the hosting company, but I haven't heard back from them. I sometimes worry that my .htaccess files are not right, actually. Am I correct that there needs to be one in the root and also in the Wordpress folder?

Again, thank you so much for this terrific theme. I'll report back if I see any problems, of course.

EDIT:
Another problem: I had created several custom templates for certain categories. They worked fine before, with ATA 3.2. Now, however, those pages are missing their sidebars. Is this because the index.php in the new theme is fundamentally different? Should I just redo the templates using the new index.php as the basis?

Another problem: Newly approved comments are not showing up in the left sidebar widget.

Cool!!

Had some minor problems with 3.4.2 so I went back to 3.3.3 now I have to test this new version...

I agree great job from Flynn..

Cheers.. Are

Regarding Blogroll: Looks like I forgot that code in there.

Delete this in footer.php:

PHP Code:

<div id="linkcat-12" class="widget widget_links"><div class="widget-title"><h3>Blogroll</h3></div>
    <ul class='xoxo blogroll'>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/development/">Development Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/">Documentation</a></li>

<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">Plugins</a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/">Suggest Ideas</a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/">Support Forum</a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">Themes</a></li>
<li><a href="http://planet.wordpress.org/">WordPress Planet</a></li>

    </ul>
</div> 


I'll release 3.4.4 on the weekend with this fix and other issues that might be discovered today/tomorrow

About the page templates from 3.4.2. It would be best to re-create them by starting with a fresh index.php from 3.4.3.

About the comments in the left sidebar. Not sure about that one. perhaps a caching issue? In which way are they supposed to be displayed, through a widget, which one?

OK, thanks, that took care of the blogroll issue.

Now the comments are showing up OK, in the left sidebar BFA Recent Comments widget.

Caching is a pain. I had been using wp-cache, then tried wp-supercache. I had to delete all the cached files just now in order to see the change after fixing the footer.php code for the blogroll.

Still, the site is loading VERY slowly.

It's a bit slow on my end but not very slow imho, just about average for a site with that much content & plugins. While optimizing code here and there will help it is more economical to pay maybe $10-20 more per month to upgrade the hosting plan in my opinion, instead of having someone optimize code for hours.

Another issue: The index.php file really is very different from before!

I can't figure out where to put this code for the Teen Health template:

<hr align=center>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td>Have a teen health question? Use the form below to send it to Dr. Engelland. Please note: Dr Engelland cannot respond privately to individual queries online. Comments are welcome and anonymous questions may be answered in future columns. Serious medical problems should be referred to your own physician.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><a name="form"></a>
<form action="/cgi-pub/FormMail/" method="post">Name:
<input name="name" type="text" /><br /><br />
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" value="teenhealth@larchmontgazette.com" />Email:
<input name="email" type="text" /><br /><br />

Question:

<textarea cols="40" rows="10" name="question"></textarea>

<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /><input id="Reset" name="Reset" type="reset" value="Erase" />

</form>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table  border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="http://www.larchmontgazette.com/wp27/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/newengellandsmall.jpg"></td>
    <td>Dr. Engelland has a practice in Mamaroneck devoted to Adolescent Primary Care. She now accepts Aetna and Hudson Health Plan.
Dr. Engelland can be reached at 698-5544 or at <a href="http://www.AnnEngellandMD.com"> annengellandmd.com.</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>

I want this to appear above the comments box, not below it. You can see it here: http://www.larchmontgazette.com/teen...use-for-alarm/

I put it after

<?php /* END of the LOOP */
	endwhile; ?>

, and also tried it after

<?php /* This outputs the next/previous post or page navigation and the comment template.
	This can be edited at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Style & edit the Center column */
	bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['content_below_loop']); ?>

.

I need to figure this out because several categories need custom templates.
