Just installed this theme onto my testbed blog installation at http://www.davidpatrick.co.uk/MyJournal before moving across to the Scout site.

A few problems with the theme on WP2.3:
(1) Search box in header fails with a call to wp_post2cat. I believe this table has now disappeared in WP2.3
(2) Sub-pages do not appear as tabs across the top of the page. I will be having a parent page of “Groups” with several sub-pages beneath that. I was expecting the sub-pages to appear as tabs also.

Other than these bits, the theme looks great, and I will almost certainly be moving it across to the main site once the issues above can be resolved.

Cheers,
David

Sorry – a little investigation leads me to point the wp_post2cat issue at the EC3 Event Calendar plugin.

I do still however have the issues with the second level tabs not appearing.

Thank you for this template. I’m using it at http://www.relationalaggression.net/blog

I was wondering if you update it in the future, if you could make the child categories indent a bit. It would be easier to read the hierarchy.

Also, is there be a way to decide which pages should be excluded or pick the ones you want to appear in the header? The way it’s set up now, I’m limited in the number of pages I can create, unless I want everything bunched up at the top and going into the columns.

Thanks for your work and gracious offer of this free template!

I really like Talian and plan to use it on my website. I would like to modify the colors of the theme. Can you give me some pointers on how to do this? I am reading up on CSS/HTML in order to try to understand how these work, but I am still not clear where certain bits of CSS is applied. For example what style makes the top border green? or the header black?

I must be really stupid or something. I really love your theme and have downloaded it several times. I am getting an error on line 37 on the header.php. None of the columns display, no header and the search engine box has >br in the text portion.

What must i do to get this beautiful theme to work. Is there a plugin I need or do i need something else?

I think it looks great and I am using it for my beta. The only problem I’ve encountered is tha sometimes the left column shifts to below the right in IE. In Firefox it is bulletproof. Nice job!

Hi there

I’ve installed this theme, love it but I am getting a error which only appears on IE when someone tries to make a comment.

I see where the username, email & website should be an error code and these do not show up.

Can you please tell me how I can rectify this otherwise I will have to change my theme (and I really dont want to as this is what I’ve been looking for)

Does anyone know how to insert a header picture were the site name appears? (very Top of page). I’d like it to stretch the entire length of the header. The size isn’t really the problem as I create my own graphics. I tried to place a header picture in other css made templates and everything went wrong. Any ideas?

Mike – sorry if I’m way too late on this one. To insert a header image you just need to create your image (whatever size you want) and name it headerbg.gif. Then put this image in the images folder of the themes folder wp-content.

You’ll also need to change a bit of the css – the image is called in the body tag so play around with that.

Hope that helps.

Hey again – Mike – just had a look at your link and realised you have found the answer! Sorry for being slow.

Hi, Stephen. I love your Talian theme but some versions of IE do not allow users to comment on posts. I also occasionally get page not found error messages just below the article. Everything works fine in Firefox and certain versions of IE.

Help!

Hello Steve,
I love the look of this theme. Since i’m a newbie
I was wondering if is was me or the behaviour of this theme worked as designed when compared to other themes out there. I was hoping to be able to use the category table to sub categorize my links under the Blog Roll area or I’m I doing something wrong? Thanks for a great theme!

Hello, this is one of best WP themes, can I add this theme to my WordPress themes archive at
http://www.wpthemesarchive.com/ ?

This looks great and really suits my needs. I have had some rough times with IE . http://haricotvert.com/blog
The RSS goes wacky (“XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.haricotvert.com/blog/feed/
Line Number 7, Column 122:”), and I am investigating that (still a freshman in CSS).
I want to add new languages to the translator. I tried coding them in and it knew what I wanted, but gave me Italian.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
In the meantime, I am happy to go with this – thrilled at the moment actually.
Thanks so much.

Looks good and even the colors compliment our theme.
I had an rss problem, but that turned out to be PodPress at work and not the design.
Right now, the only change I would like to make is to expand the languages available.
Any ideas?

Hi, I’ve got this working – at first I had too many posts, which caused overflow problems for the sidebars. But setting the default number to 5 from 10 solved that. I’m not running the very latest WP version, so I was wondering if there are still issues with that. But I’m happy with the way it looks and behaves, thanks!

Hello there.. Using talian 3 columns with center content and I must say on WP 2.5 all goes well although there are a couple issues or rather ameliorement:
A) the calendar has not the white spacer above (just a cosmetic thing)
B) Categories do not allow indent, whatever you set.Maybe three level deep would be nice to avoid a long list of sub categories listes amongst categories. At the moment I have found a way around through a flash applet but it requires to swap the left sidebar at category creation time. The original when modifications are maed and then editing an external file for the flash version you that mimicks the original one.

Actually.. I forgot once more.. adding widgets to a sidebar replaces the standard talian sidebar with a blank one so, basically you must safe copy the original somewhere, add the widget on a new one and by hand add the code on the old one, making it by hand… not very practical

Hi Andy,

Nice job with Talian. One quibble: at the bottom where it says “Talian designed by VA4Business, Virtual Assistance for Business who’s blog can be found at Steve Arun’s Virtual Marketing Blog” you should be using “whose” instead of “who’s”. The way it is now is comprehensible but doesn’t make sense grammatically speaking.

It looks like the Talian theme has two RSD entries, with one hard coded to http://scott-m.net/xmlrpc.php?rsd. This is breaking some XML-RPC clients and needs to be removed.

@Joseph Scott:

Many thanks for visiting my blog and posting your comments. I am currently updating all my themes, I am surprised by this piece of code as it is not present in one i am using here.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Even though there have been some minor bugs, I want to applaud you for providing this fine template for free. You have also responded freely within this blog to users feedback, which is quite rare nowadays

Many thanks – Andrew – Australia
