My Scattered 1.5 Theme Modifications
Based on the experimentation of plugins I’ve been doing, I’ve started to integrate the usage of some of them into the Scattered 1.5 theme.
Style Changes
- Removed negative indenting of unordered lists.
- Changed the color of visited links so they show up.
- Changed unordered list indenting so the list entry marker is always displayed.
Plugin Support
- Added support for the WP-PostViews plugin from Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.
- Added support for the WP-Email plugin from Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.
- Added support for the WP-Print plugin from Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.
- Added support for the WP-PostNav plugin from Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.
Info from the WP-PostViews, WP-Email, and WP-Print plugins has been placed at the bottom of each post where the Edit link is placed for contributors and admins. In the original theme, at the bottom of a post, the following text is displayed:
Posted in <list of categories> | Edit | No Comments >
With my changes the bottom will look like this (two lines):
Posted in <list of categories> | Tagged with <list of tags> | 7 Views
Email this post | Print this post | Edit | No Comments >
Info from these plugins is displayed at the bottom of a page like this:
Email | Print | 7 Views | Edit
Comments
- Support for viewing and adding comments on pages that have the feature enabled has been added.
- Added an indicator when posts are awaiting moderation.
Admin Page
An admin page has been added which allows selecting certain options for the theme. Options include:
- Added support for displaying a sidebar on single posts.
- Added support for displaying a sidebar on pages.
- Added support for excluding pages from the page bar.
- Added support for selecting how pages should be sorted on the page bar.
Miscellaneous Changes
- Posts are now displayed as excerpts on archive and search pages instead of as the entire post.
- Support for the tagging feature introduced with WordPress 2.3 has been added.
- Pages now show a list of sub-pages if there are any.

Congrats for your hard work improving this theme.
Psstt… Why is it that you have “index.php” in your URL?? I’ve never seen that on other WP blogs.

Yeah, I don’t really like it, but my site is hosted on IIS on Windows. I don’t think there is any other way without buying one of the ISAPI filter applications.

Hi David Potter,
Thanks for your answer.
On another note, being a newbie, I have problem with the Links and Archives pages. Would you be so kind to read my post at ThemePark Forum?

I think that that may interest all the people using FallSeason.
