WordPress 3.0 and Mimbo Pro

Last night WordPress 3.0 was released, it’s a fantastic update to WordPress and has added some great new functionality that we plan to add to our themes shortly.

Most of our themes seem to be working perfectly (at least as far as I can see), however unfortunately the release broke the carousel in Mimbo Pro. The error is actually to do with the version of jQuery bundled with the latest version of WordPress. I haven’t had a chance to update the files in the download area but if you have upgraded then to fix the error you should:

Copy the new (fixed) version of jCarousel from the jCarousel download page and add paste it in to ‘js/jquery.jcarousel.pack.js’

Edit ‘css/carousel.css’ to reposition the carousel. The change is to replace

.jcarousel-skin-tango .jcarousel-clip-horizontal {
    width:  820px;
}

with

.jcarousel-skin-tango .jcarousel-clip-horizontal {
    width:  820px;
	position:absolute;
	top:15px;
	left:70px;
}

If you haven’t yet updated to WordPress 3.0 then I would suggest holding off until Mimbo Pro has been updated. I will get the official release updated this weekend.

Hi,

Can we also update elemental to WP version 3.0?

Regards, Jeroen

  I haven’t tested it fully but it looks like Elemental works fine with WP 3.0 – it’s only Mimbo Pro that had problems (and that was because of javascript rather than PHP)

  I am afraid there isn’t an automated update process for our themes. You will need to download the latest version of the theme from the accounts control panel (http://accounts.prothemedesign.com/), and then upload it to your web host via ftp.

Hi Ben,

This fix did not work for me. I opened the .js file in a text editor, pasted the code from the site you link to and updated the CSS page. The caraousel is still not working.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have already added a comment to this thread but it was removed. I also sent an e-mail via the Contact Us page asking for support. Can I get an ETA as to when someone might be able to help me?

Thanking you in advance,
Ben

  Hi Ben, I have replied via email but essentially if you grab the files from the accounts control panel (http://accounts.prothemedesign.com/) then re-upload, it should all work.

Worked like a charm for me and I had even made changes.

Still don’t know how to save as a child theme

I’ve noticed in our testing that the navigation drop downs aren’t pulling in all the styles they used to (arrow and jquery transitioning). What fix for this?
