Yes, I tried but it is better than before. BTW RSS feed is going to wrong place or how can change to sidebar?

You need to copy the qa-styles.css file from the Default theme that comes with version 1.2 to your custom theme.

Yes, it is work now. Thank you.

Gideon,

I'm testing 1.2 beta version with test database and it is working fantastic! no issues for upgrading from old database. I'll be upgrading site as soon as new theme is ready.

I see lots of features in this new release, beyond my expectations, excellent work! kudos to you!

If Q2A moves at this speed I'm sure it will be most popular QA solution very soon.

Answer 6

Very well done.

In comparison to the themeforrest and temlplatic wp answer themes this new version provides most important qa site features. It lacks a little bit at community building, through missing user pics, facebook login and more options regarding the user site.
Good is, that You dont need the wp overhead.

The advantage regarding other ask an expert similar solutions, is, that it is written in php and not python, which makes problems with some hosting providers.

With some more admin control over the questions and answers and eventually an easier to understand templating system like smarty, this script soon will be best on the market.

Crucial is to attract the themeexperts. once there are many themes available, more users will use it.

I as well tried joomla and drupal to build a good Q&A site, but joomla I dont really like and drupal needs to many modules to make it interesting. For Drupal as well it is not very easy to build new themes.

Actually I am changing some things on the 1.2 version, after that I will use it on my production sites.

Thank You for this excellent work!!!

Answer 7

I'm translating and testing it from aspect of L10N. Because there were many changes, I started it early. The translator had better be careful (^start^aaaaaa^close) of qa-lang-emails.php. I want to submit  translation archive around RC phase(When will it be?).

And, I do not yet look in detail, RSS preview from admin panel strange...
my test browser is Chrome/FireFox, and question data are 0 or 1.

Can you send me a screenshot or a link where I can see this problem?

FireFox is OK. But Google Chrome display error. A cause is that XML declaration disappears. It seems to be bug of Chrome. Sorry that I disturb.
