I love this theme and I really want to use it, but I?m getting a weird error message:

Precondition Failed

The precondition on the request for the URL /shane/wp-admin/themes.php evaluated to false.

It sounds like a problem either with your webserver or your wordpress installation. Fauna is not using any PHP headers that could cause a precondition failed message.

I?m a beginner at this with my PHP manual in one hond and out of date text editor experience with HTML and CSS in the other.

I?ve had a terrible time finding the right files to edit. What I really need is a kind of split screen tool that will show me exactly where to edit when I press on the browser display. Someone suggested that I use Dreamweaver, but I can?t see how this would work with so many contributing files.

Should I try this or have you a better method?

Best wishes

The problem with Dreamweaver is that it would require you to have a personal webserver setup. This is possible, i use it, but it’s not really easy to do.

The thing is, when we’re talking PHP, you need a server application to “render” the code, as opposed to HTML which can be read by the browser itself. Since Dreamweaver cannot render the PHP code you can’t split screen there.

I use “Xampp”:http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html for my personal web server, but it might be a bit hard core for what you’re looking at. I think maybe just editing online, live, is your best bet, unfortunately.

I saw in the forums about the ?One Author? bug.

In-case you haven?t done it yet here?s the fix.

In sidebar.php on line 137 there is a line which reads:

if (sizeof($numauthors) > 1) { ?>

This should simply be changed to:

if ($numauthors > 1) { ?>

As you?re not fetching an array but instead directly querying the number of author rows.

Sorry for posting all these code fixes here, once I get your email I?ll be able to stop spamming your fauna blog! :P

I emailed you, and thanks for all your fixes. I really have to get a credit page going.

Email me (loadedreality at gmail.com) your email address, I think I’ve pretty much got ‘FrostDark’ finished for you now. It looks pretty good, Fauna was beautifully simple to edit upon. :)
