Wordpress: 2.3.1
WPG2 : 3.0.2
Itheme 3cols Center : 1.5

Hello,

I recently discovered the iTheme that I choosed for my site (the 3 col-center's one).
I tried to view my gallery without any theme customization and of course the result is not good (see the 'gallery result.jpg').
So I immediatly tried to apply the advices of the good "Theme customization guide" but without success :-(.
I've done all that seemed to be done : create the wpg2header.php file and modify the style.css file (see attachments)
But it seems like I've done nothing :-(.
The WPG2 validation page always warn me about the use of a simple header file... (see 'WPG2 Validation Check.jpg')

I don't know what to do.

Any help or advice will be welcome ;-).

Tom

Did you create the wpg2header.php inside your Wordpress theme directory? WPG2 checks to see if this file exists otherwise it will only use the simple header.

Yes, in the same place than the header.php.

If the file exists then WPG2 would detect the file and not use the simple header. Please revalidate and if WPG2 still only detects a simple header then recheck if the wpg2header.php file does exist in your Wordpress Theme Directory.

Sorry I've re-re-re check but the wpg2header.php is really in the wordpress theme directory...
I understand your suspicions but... Just see the jpg as a proof ;-) ...
When we say "revalidate", we agree that it's just going to the wpg2 tab on the wordpress admin pages?
I've try to desactivate and reactive the wpg2 plugin. Same effect = Nothing :-(

Shame on me!!
I don't believe it... You know what? I have two directories for two themes iThemes, the standard one and the 3cols one...
Of course I was in the wrong one...
I'm really sorry.

Thanks the lot

Tom (-1 point ;-) )

Glad you worked it out.. Having a custom Header will help you tweak your theme, I really suck @ CSS design but I found the first starting point is create the custom header..

Yes. I think there's a lot of work and I don't really understand how it works.
For now nothing appears from the gallery (except the title, yeah ;-)! One point). The "<div id=wpg2content>" doesn't appears in the source code of the generated page...
