I wanted to produce a post where I can keep track of all bugs you may experience with the SimpleCSS BANS Template for WordPress. If you find a bug, please post a comment to the bottom of this post, or use the contact form to send it to me directly.
After bugs are corrected, the newest set of files is uploaded to the download manager. You should be able to revisit the download link that was sent to you via email, and download the latest version. If you do not have the original email, use the contact form above to shoot me over an email and I will send you the update.
Please note that not all reports are added until I have verified there is an actual bug in the template system.

Simple CSS Template Bug Fix 1 :: Video of the Fix in Action (4:48 Long)
Sidebar #1 and #2 not working correctly on the blog side of the site. Fixed: 07/16/08
1 - Open your wp-content/themes/simplecss/sidebar.php file in the editor of your choice. (cPanel editor works fine) Find the following code, starting at line #5
<?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(5) ) : else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div id=”sidebarright”>
<?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else : ?>
The 5 needs to be a 1 and the 1 needs to be a 2, or after it is updated:
<?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div id=”sidebarright”>
<?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else : ?>
Save your work, upload to server if you changed on local system. Done.
If you downloaded the SimpleCSS Template after 8PM ET, 07/16/08, it is already completed. Also remember, you have 2 versions of the template included in your download. Make sure you update both packages, or simply download the latest version for all fixes to be completed.

Mark,
With the new CSS templates which way is the best for search engines, on a new site, BANS then BLOG or BLOG then BANS ?..also I checked your getaracecar site and the RSS link does not work..and does the new template auto create a privacy policy??? I cannot find the link on getaracecar or findracetickets….Otis
The new templates are set up so you can use your own linking strategies.
Which way is the best for search engines? You may like to read the recent post called “Can you feel the Ground Shaking - Its a GoogleQuake!”, right here on this site.
The privacy policy and any additional pages are created by yourself in the bans admin section.
What are “dynamic sidebars” and how can I use them? I can’ t even figure out how to access them… I’d like to use the space for different things, including putting in some banner ads. How do I do this? Thanks!
Hi Mark,
With the new simplecss theme pack template I’ve noticed when my store gets a page indexed it is not using the meta description in the search engine results.
It pulls the description from the H1 tag and the description on the page itself.
Thanks,
Randy
@ Randy -
Thats a GOOD thing!
Search engines like Google have completely discounted keywords and meta description tags. By providing some content on your pages, they will list that content as the subject of the page.
Mark
It is my understanding that MSN still uses the keywords and meta description though…so I would continue to utilize them for that and in case Google ever decides to tweak its algorithm again.
My 2 cents.
Hi Mark,
Would you know why the pages overlap on the site below?
I have 2 examples below.

@ Randy -
It almost looks like there is a file missing somewhere in the system.
The footer does not even load onto the pages.
If you want to shoot me over login access tot he site cPanel, I can just in and take a peek for you. Just use the contact form above.
