    Looks very great! I think, I’ll buy this, too.
    Great work, compliments!

    Hi Mip,

    I’ve bought your theme and have now the problem to exclude in the 3 (!) sidebars subcategories. I only want to show the top level category in the sidebars and not their sub-categories.

    I tried “Advanced Category Excluder” – but this has only 1 widget available, so I have no chance, to use it for the “post sidebar” and the “page sidebar”, too.

    Then I tried Extended Categories Widget (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-categories-widget). This plugin has multiple widgets – perfect!

    But something in your theme does not work well.

    When I copy this plugin’s widget with the same (!) settings in your “home sidebar”, “post sidebar”, “page sidebar”, only at the home sidebar it looks like your demo site.

    But in “post sidebar” and “page sidebar” I see the bullets of listing and a white field below the text. It is not in 2 columns as you can see at your demo site “home”, but only 1 column and listing bullets.

    Is the sidebar “home” and this for post sidbar not formatted the same?

    What do you suggest for excluding (sub)categories?
    I prefer a plugin/widget for it instead of changing the code of the theme, for the case I’d like to change the theme some day.

    Another problem:

    if I put an own for example text widget in the “home sidebar”, then the part “categories” and “latest posts”, which came originally with the theme (not to see unter widget -> sidebars, why ever …), disappear, and I can only see my own text widget, nothing else :-(

    I would like, that the area “categories” and “latest posts” (as they come with the original theme) should remain, and that I can put my own (text) widget below or above them.

    How is this possible?
    Thanks.

    ok, now I give up :-(

    There must be a bug within the sidebars:

    (1)
    Putting the wordpress’ widget “categories” into sidebar “home” = all ok!

    (1)
    Putting the wordpress’ widget “categories” into sidebar “post” or “page” = wrong formatting:

    - no icons before the category name
    - category names are not in 2 columns as on home sidebar
    - categories are listed one below the other
    - with bullets before the name
    - with white block under the names

    Same widget “categories” from wordpress 2.8, putting into theme’s sidebars “home”, “post”, “page”, but they look totally different.

    See here a documented screenshot:

    Could you please help me, that all sidebar widgets look the same formatting? Thanks a lot.

    Next bug:

    putting a “text widget” into sidebar (no matter which sidebar) and putting a headline in it and a simple, not formatted HTML text in the text field of the widget:

    Result:

    in the theme appears only a coloured background like the other widgets have, but no text.

    Please delete my comment from 5:00 p.m.
    It was my fault: a saving error ;-)
    Adding text widgets is all o.k.!

    Remains only the problem with the different formatted widgets, I mentioned above. And it doesn’t matter, if I use Wordpress’ category widget or page widget:
    home sidebar = ok
    post + page sidebar = 1 column category names, below each other, with bullets before the icons/names and white background behind the names.

    I’ve sitting the whole night over this problem (see comment of October 1st, 2009 at 4:53 pm):

    Obviously there is no (correct) CSS – and/or HTML -formatting in this theme for the

    Due to all my critics, I would like to say now for the sake of fairness many thanks for your great support on this theme!
    With your updated theme files v1.1 all works fine and I have no problems any more!

    It’s surely not the last theme I’ve bought from you.
    I think I haven’t as much content and things to say, as I can buy themes from you ;-)
