Mimbo Pro and Pro Theme Design updates
Been a couple of weeks since an update. In that time we’ve done a fair amount of support on the forum, and it’s taught us a lot about what people want and how people use the theme. We’re going to be updating the faq to reflect the problems people have had.
Yesterday I made the stupid mistake of upgrading this blog to Wordpress 2.5 without making any backups, and something went wrong so the blog stopped working for 20 minutes. Thankfully it was simple to fix (reupload the files) but there were a few minutes of mild panic.
Mimbo Pro Updates
This weekend we spent some time working on the next Mimbo Pro update. It’s our intention to keep the updates few and far between but obviously if important things crop up we’re going to fix them.
This update includes one minor html change, some improvements and bug fixes for the recently open sourced TimThumb, and some changes to the admin to fix Wordpress 2.5 display bugs.
In order to send out Mimbo Pro updates we have set up a Google Group. We did this because the Plimus email system is less than stella, so we are now asking all users to sign up. Hopefully Google will send you all an invite soon, but the invites have to go through a verification process to make sure we’re not spamming people. The group is invite only so have your order number to hand so we can verify it’s you signing up.
We plan to release the Mimbo Pro 1.2 update within the next 24 hours so I would suggest signing up to the group soon as the information for getting the update will be announced there.
More Payments Options
One of the things we’ve been asked for is more payment options. Specifically an upgrade option, and a price for charities. We now support both charities and upgrade. Simply submit a help ticket asking about them and we will send you the necessary information.

great news. bugfixing is allways good.
i hope, there are not to many changes. i translatet the whole theme, so it could become tricky.
kux - you’ll be pleased to know the only change to the actual templates is in sidebar.php and affects no translations whatsoever
coooooooooool. yeeeeeess. wonderfull….
what about the css problems on IE6, are they fixed now?
I must admit I am not 100% sure if that’s been fixed or not, but I hope it has
As I said we made some changes to the sidebar file and I think they were related to this problem.
Hi,
I think I’ve implemented the changes properly! I’m so new to WordPress that everything is a bit trial and error. I’m going to take the plunge and start transferring some content over today.
One thing I’d like to ask (actually there’s two things) since I tweaked it with the upgrade my categories on the home page have vanished and since intsalling Mimbo Pro I’ve only ever managed to get one pic on the carousel - I know this is probably a blindingly obvious fix - but as I said - I’m very green on WP (although Mimbo Pro has made learning it much easier). On my options page it says to hold down ‘ctrl’ to choose more than one category - yet it only shows one category to choose from - even though there are at least 4.((I would put this in the forum but as I mentioned somewhere else - the forum won’t send a password - so I can’t login! I have tried to join the forum numerous times now))
Any advice would be really appreciated - or even a login to the forum
