Wordpress Theme "Atahualpa" version 3.2
#####################################################################
INSTALLATION:
#####################################################################
1. Extract the file "atahualpa3.zip" on your desktop computer,
i.e. with WinZip or 7-zip
#####################################################################
2. Upload the complete folder "atahualpa3" with its contents to
your web hosting account to the directory
/your wordpress-install/wp-content/themes/
so the final destination of the "atahualpa3" folder becomes:
/your wordpress-install/wp-content/themes/atahualpa3/
You will need a "FTP Client" Software for this
#####################################################################
3. Activate Atahualpa3 by clicking on its name or screenshot at:
WP 2.3 and older:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Presentation -> Themes
WP 2.5 - 2.6:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Design -> Themes
WP 2.7 and newer:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Appearance -> Themes
From WP 2.5 on you'll have to click on "Activate [Theme Name]"
after you selected the theme. In older version the theme will be
activated without this step.
If you have no "Site Admin" link anywhere on your blog, try
http://www.your-domain.com/wp-admin/
If you've installed WordPress in a subfolder such as "blog", it would
be http://www.your-domain.com/blog/wp-admin/
#####################################################################
4. Reload you blog homepage and see if the theme is active. If not,
repeat the steps above or post at http://forum.bytesforall.com/
If it looks broken, it may be a matter of setting the theme options.
If the sidebars look empty, you may need to add widgets.
#####################################################################
5. Configure the theme at
WP 2.3 and older:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Presentation -> Atahualpa Theme Options
WP 2.5 - 2.6:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Design -> Atahualpa Theme Options
WP 2.7 and newer:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Appearance -> Atahualpa Theme Options

BFA Popular in Cat

A widget is a content block that you can drag and drop into one
of the sidebars. All widgets, the 4 BFA widgets and the default
WordPress widgets, can be found at:
WP 2.2 - 2.3:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Presentation -> Widgets

WP 2.7 and newer:
Your Blog -> Site Admin -> Appearance -> Widgets

7. OPTIONAL: Install additional plugins to enhance your blog
Atahualpa3 should work with just about any plugin. Besides that it
has improved plug & play support for these plugins:

WP-Print
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-print/
WP-Email
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email/

Go to the settings page at Settings -> Sociable and
uncheck all boxes in the sections "Position:" and "Use CSS:"
LMB^Box Comment Quicktags
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lmbbox-comment-quicktags/
Optional: Edit lmbbox-comment-quicktags.php:
1) To remove the link "Quicktags", delete the line 243
Quicktags:
2) To fix a not validating tag, change line 276
to
Subscribe to Comments
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/
Paged Comments (not required in WP 2.7+ because paged comments are a core Wordpress feature now)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paged-comments/
CommentLuv
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/commentluv/
Get Recent Comments
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-recent-comments/
Additionally, Atahualpa3 has been tested with
Akismet
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/
(this plugin should already be available in your blog)
Also requires http://wordpress.com/api-keys/
WP Cache 2
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache/
This is easier to install than WP Super Cache
WP Super Cache
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
This requires that you use Permalinks
WP-Syntax
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/
WPG2
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpg2/
Nextgen Gallery
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
Feedburner Feedsmith
http://www.google.com/support/feedburner/bin/answer.py?answer=78483&topic=13252
Should also work with
All in one SEO (many Atahualpa users are using it)
and other SEO plugins
#####################################################################
- Atahualpa3 has no page.php, single.php, archive.php, archives.php
This may confuse a plugin that expects to put something into one of
these files
- The actual CSS styles for Atahualpa3 are located in style.css and header.php
After you're totally done with all your customizations, you could view the source
code of your site in the browser, cut the CSS rules from the header section, and paste them at the
bottom of style.css. Then remove the dynamic CSS part from header.php. That would save around 8-12 kbyte per pageview.
Please note that images in CSS (i.e. background images) must be referenced like this
- in style.css: url(images/myimage.gif) works
- in header.php: must be url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa3/images/myimage.gif) or
url(http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa3/images/myimage.gif).
url(images/myimage.gif) will NOT work in header.php. Whenever you reference an image via the
theme options (by putting CSS rules into one of the many textareas in the theme options area)
you must reference the image as shown in the examples for header.php (because dynamic CSS
will appear in header.php).
