Comment on Blix AdSense WordPress Theme by SEO Dave.

WordPress Blix Theme I haven’t installed the free version (version 02) of my Blix AdSense for over 6 months, I use the Blix (version 03) I sell at which has got a LOT of code fixes that needed fixing as WordPress updated. Also has better SEO coding and better AdSense coding, overall a better theme.

I have no idea why Beaulife site is wrapping like that, (I don’t think it’s blix at fault) about the only thing that comes to mind (assuming no custom code changes) is if you’ve used widgets they broke for the original Blix (and this free AdSense version) in WordPress 2.5. Remove all your widgets and see what happens.

It’s to do with the custom functions page used by original Blix. When widgets broke in my latest version of Blix (the one you can buy) I removed the custom functions page to fix it. The original Blix coding is not fully compatible with WordPress 2.*.

I don’t have the time to fix the issues with the free version of Blix with AdSense and as you can appreciate if I did there would be less reason for anyone to buy the better AdSense/SEO version of Blix (03) at and that doesn’t make financial sense.

If I updated just the code fixes it would be about 80% as good SEO wise as the new theme and I know people will tolerate that sort of SEO loss to save a little cash.

From the Blix version 03 sales page-

“Blix is the 2nd AdSense WordPress theme for this website and my third version of the WordPress theme Blix with AdSense and SEO. The first two versions lack the detailed AdSense options available with this version and several original Blix features no longer work in the latest WordPress releases.

As of WordPress version 2.1 Blix has had a few compatibility problems. My Blix AdSense theme below includes multiple fixes that fix the page navigation bar (just below the header, About, Contact links etc…) and the way recent posts are handled. Also fixed the problem with the header where the bottom of letters are cut off. You can see the result of these fixes at another site of mine – More Earnings via Search Engine Optimization and Affiliate Marketing which uses the Blix theme with AdSense + SEO (version 03). ”

If you don’t wish to buy version 03 I’m afraid version 02 has the same problems you get with original Blix and I don’t plan to fix them in version 02.

I think the problems ash is reporting is the “the way recent posts are handled” bug I found and fixed. Basically when you list recent posts on your menu it also lists pages like the about page, which it shouldn’t. Required some detailed code changes to fix this issue in version 03.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but I can not support two sets of competing themes, if you had these problems with the paid version I’d do my best to help you fix them, but with a free theme I just don’t have the time.
