    Can you see why from a blog post if you click the Author name I’m getting a fatal error? I posted this several days ago but didn’t get a response. Apparently the error code is saying its the EPL price class?

    Looking into it. Having a real challenge with email and notifications. I think i’ve fixed our email errors for now.

    Never got this bug in testing, checking

    Visit Dashboard > Appearance > Themes

    You will see an error here. You have 2 child themes and they are interfering with each other as both have the same name. This is causing your author issue.

    Both your stylesheets are scrambled and this is your issues. BACKUP both then correct them. NEVER use the WordPress editor to modify your theme files. Use Notepad++ or Coda on the Mac

    Here is a comparison. Your style.css is corrupted and the function is failing to find the active theme. I’m suprised you haven’t had more issues. BACKUP your site before fixing the Style.css. You know which one is correct but you have 2 in the folder and WordPress is not sure which one to use.

    Be careful

    Attached is an image of your style.css vs the parent theme. The format of the intro text is VERY important see child theme documentation here.

    Ohhhh. Thank you. When you made a change to my style sheet, then I downloaded it again, it was then all spaced out weird in DW (all double spaced). In trying to fix it, it all got totally messed up. I spent hours on that mess. Now I now it’s just something DW does and it’s an easy command to get it back to right. But in trying to fix it after you had added something, I got it all goofed up.

    I’ll go sort that out, thank you.

    Well, I cleaned up that problem (and lost all my widget content in the process) but that error is still there. Can you look again please? It claims epl price class issue.

    Fatal error – BLueHost said it was looking for epl price class…?

    If this is a single listing archive page, probably one we customized…ugh. Now what?

    Did you edit the author.php file in your theme?

    in your functions file you added this which broke your author page.

    //Display order
$args = array(
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'order'   => 'ASC',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

    remove that to correct the broken author page. That is incorrect PHP syntax

    Hmmm. That was following your advice to use wordpress codex to try to get the listings to sort in alpha order which I still maintain should be an option.

    I removed it. The fatal error is still there. Bluehost says its something about EPL price class.

    I really appreciate your questions and feature requests but cant help you if you aren’t sure of php and consequences of making changes. Hence activate the WordPress debug mode as that will display errors and minor php errors to you. Once live disable the debug mode.

    I even downloaded your theme to test….
