MistyLook Archive limited to 50 posts?
-
MistyLook theme appears to place a limit on their ARCHIVE template as I discovered this morning http://shimworld.wordpress.com/archives/
I have one post from November 3 2006 that is no longer listed but can still be accessed via the drop-down Archive menu. Is there a way to overcome this through CSS?
-
I went back over two hundred posts by clicking on the “older” link at the bottom of my page, then got tired of looking. Must be something with your settings.

The way I understand it css is used to change the appearance of a blog and not the way it functions. Setting that aside I had the same experience that digitalzen had.

MistyLook’s theme comes with a special ARCHIVE template that lists the page you see here http://shimworld.wordpress.com/archives/ On my main page http://shimworld.wordpress.com OLDER POSTS link is there at the bottom so no problems. Perhaps it’s something the author overlooked.

I see the same thing on my blog using the Archive Page Template and Misty Look. Time for feedback to staff?
I’ll try to write in later today.

I would like to know this also, so if you could post your end results that would be fantastic!
Also, i notice on your Mistylook theme you have no search bar at the top of the page, if possible could you tell me how to remove that from my blog? Its getting in the way of my pages!
Thanks!

This was a design decision by the theme author and because of that we will not change it.
Hemingway also has a limit of 12 months and again that was the theme author’s choice.We try very hard not to alter themes because then they are not what was designed.

@options – it’s not the gpl.
Many people want many things:
comments at the top
different date format
different name formats
different archive displays
different category displays
different footers
and the list goes on.Can it be done? yes.
But if we made all those requested changes to say Misty Look, at what point does it become something Sadish is unhappy with? He – like all designers – made functional and aesthetic decisions so if we start tampering with that on a site which promotes his work that might upset him.
Additionally, where do we draw the line on changes or do we have multiple choices for everything theme and a willingness to keep adding more choices as more are requested?For some themes (k2-lite, reoable-lite for instance) certain changes were fundamental to their inclusion and it’s made clear that it is not the original theme. But even they are modified to the minimum.
It’s just not practical to alter every theme in every way that people want.

>>It’s just not practical to alter every theme in every way that people want.
I do agree; it’s impossible to make all happy by premade themes without a way to alter them by the end-user.
[wishful thinking starts here:
may be an ideal way (in the ideal world) would be to separate somehow theme *logic* from its *presentation* (I don’t mean only CSS here) so that people don’t have to mess with PHP.
there are two ways, both are limited in the end:
* either providing (as an upgrade feature) a *very* rich theme toolkit with all most requested options like the ones you’ve mentioned above, adding them on demand (each one could have some ‘cost to provide’);
* or may be introduce a kind of a Templating System editable using Tags and Variables (like EE or MT have). almost every task from the list above would be easily solved by an *average* user using such Templates and simple Tags. (here’s possible to have a basic set of Tags and enchanced one for another price).]
