Releasing the Original eMoms Theme to the WordPress Community :: eMoms Legacy 1.0

Obviously, my site has evolved quite a bit since Sarah and I did this project together - I’ve changed it from a one-woman show to a network, reworked advertising, and eMoms at Home doesn’t look at all like it did one year ago. So Sarah and I decided to release my theme to the WordPress blogging community.

This looks like a great theme you could easily customize. It’s always nice for us struggling webmasters to have a pro theme that you know works and loads well get released as a freebie. Thanks, eMoms!

Spamming pays, but not longterm, and not enough to justify the work it takes. That’s what I always figured, and why I never bothered. I just love how honest Mark is.

A while back, I posted a fix for the “You Don’t Have Permission to do that” error that Wordpress 2+ sometimes gives when you try to create categories, edit posts, etc. My fix involved editing a core file, which not every user is comfortable doing (and you have to redo it every time you upgrade [...]

A while back, I posted a fix for the “You Don’t Have Permission to do that” error that Wordpress 2+ sometimes gives when you try to create categories, edit posts, etc. My fix involved editing a core file, which not every user is comfortable doing (and you have to redo it every time you upgrade Wordpress).

Thankfully, SparePencil has invented a plugin that takes care of it for you - and it’s more secure than the fix I posted. From the blog:

This problem causes several issues in the Admininistration Panel, such as You don’t have permission to do that and Are you sure you want to edit this page: “”?.

The solution I offered solves the problem in most cases, but it wasn’t really good. Main reason: I provided a patch for a pluggable function! Secondly, the solution was less secure than the original.

I’ve heard about the Admin Drop Down menu plugin for Wordpress for a while. I’ve even installed it a couple of times - or tried to. I got error messages, and finally found a comment stating it needed to be updated for WP 2.2.

I’ve heard about the Admin Drop Down menu plugin for Wordpress for a while. I’ve even installed it a couple of times - or tried to. I got error messages, and finally found a comment stating it needed to be updated for WP 2.2.

Today I found the Lighter Admin Drop Down menu plugin, which I think I’m going to like even better anyway. It’s based on the original Admin Drop Down plugin, but the CSS is supposedly lighter, and in any case, it works beautifully. Aside from the fact that I had to create a folder under plugins and stick the files in there (because the archive somehow didn’t do that on its own; it just unpacked the files all over the place), the install was a cinch.

What you end up with is a lot less clicking and a lot less wasted time waiting for pages to load. Just hover your mouse over the main menu items - say “Presentation”. A drop down menu appears - click theme editor. In one click rather than three, you’re at the theme editor. And since I find it easier to roll my mouse down to the item instead of horizontally (as in the origninal plugin), this is just what I needed.
