I switched to the Blue Zinfandel WordPress theme for a number of reasons. I mentioned in another post that I had a few problems getting Mandigo to work exactly the way I wanted, and I had some issues with some plugins as well. For one, I had to switch to the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin since the one I was using was causing comments to “disappear.”
I did, however, find a problem within the Blue Zinfandel WordPress theme:
1. Ultimate Google Analytics won’t work with it. It spits out all kinds of crap near the end of the page.
2. The Category pages (I’m not using date archives) did not have the correct mark up code to properly display the date.
Here are the fixes:
1. I went back to using Joost de Valk’s “Google Analytics for WordPress” plugin and got rid of UGA.
2. Changed the following in the category page template…
1: <div class=“contentdate”>
2: <h3><?php the_time(‘M’); ?></h3>
3: <h4><?php the_time(‘j’); ?></h4>
4: </div>
to…
1: <div class=“contentdate”>
2: <div class=“month_stamp”><?php the_time(‘M’); ?></div>
3: <div class=“time_stamp”><?php the_time(‘j’); ?></div>
4: </div>
And that’s that.

Hello,
I have notice also that the heirachical attribute of the Categories listing does not work either. Any idea on how to get it working?

Very interesting blog, thanks for the info.
@Jennifer:
I’m using the categories, but not in a hierarchical fashion, so I’m sorry, I don’t have an answer for that.
