Hey everyone, as you may have noticed I have a running on the site. While everything almost everything moved over smoothly, there was an issue with how my parent theme striped text in typography. This caused some plugins, like cformsII to not be allowed to print to the screen. Justin had helped to find a fix to filter the hybrid_typography function.

Originally this function filtered out and changed some text that would not validate as XHTML. This had to be removed by running a new function in the child theme’s function.php file.

add_action('init', 'remove_typography');

function remove_typography() {
	remove_filter('the_content', 'hybrid_typography', 11);
}

I talked about the Twittar plugin in a previous post. But learned that the read me text file was only useful for installing the necessary php code into WordPress themes that don’t have comment threading enabled.

Since most new themes past version 2.7, pull the comments section from functions.php file, that is where you have to edit the avatars in order to show the twittar settings.

First open you functions.php, and look for a line of code that says:

function custom_comment()

This is where your new comments are pulled from when you have the threaded comments enabled.

Now just find <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, $args['avatar_size'] ); ?> & replace with <?php twittar(70, "", "", "avatar avatar-70 photo", 1, "R"); ?>. Keep in mind that you will need to edit the Twittar setting to fit your site.

A lot of you may be using a email form to gather email’s via Feedburner. I am use that by now you know Google has decided to dump feedburner.com and move all feeds through Google Proxy or Feeburner2 which is a Google Server. Here is the new form you will need to put on your site to get new email address’s:

<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" 
onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=YOUR_FEED_NAME', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true">
    <p class="form-label">Enter your email address:</p><p><input type="text" style="width:140px" name="email"/></p>
    <input type="hidden" value="YOUR_FEED_NAME" name="url"/>
    <input type="hidden" value="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" name="title"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="loc" value="en_US"/>
    <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</form>

That’s it, just be sure to change YOUR_FEED_NAME to your feed name. For example, my feed is now http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WPCult. Where WPCult is now my ID.
