Hi Guys,
I've just pushed live the beta release of our new theme pack.
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/farms-133-theme-pack
Hope you like :)
Let us know any bugs / issues / suggestions (no new themes though, just yet, please :) and general feedback here.
Kudos to Richie who has been working his heart out on these for months to make 'em right.
Probably best not to promote this too much just yet... we'd like to get some testing in first.
Cheers, James

Yes, a regular overwrite should be fine, as long as you are using the latest 100 theme pack (older versions have different folder names, which will mean that you need to delete all themes and then upload again... some users may have to reselect themes).
But as long as you have the latest 100 theme pack, you should be good to just overwrite.

Oceanwide still has a few bugs:

Just a question:
Do these themes feature the necessary code for ad inclusion by the Supporter plugin?
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate (joined July 2007) Likes (0)
A quick check shows Who Sees Ads code in there. You can set up a rule in WSA to check against supporter.
I have to throw in my request to drop all of these down to XHTML Traditional 1.0 though. Using strict or 1.1 and any flash embeds makes things fail. Kind of hard to do tech support with it set to strict.
Founder & CEO (joined May 2007) Likes (0)
There's some WSA code in there, but primarily we encourage using the other advertising plugins here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/search-engine-optimization-seo/
We no longer use WSA, for example, using Kontera instead (which is a bazillion times easier)
Don't really get the strict / traditional thing... what fails? We have lots of embeds on edublogs without too many fails I think(and these are the themes there)?
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate (joined July 2007) Likes (0)
My understanding is that you can't do any embeds within XHTML 1.1 or Strict but they do pass under XHTML Traditional 1.0.

Just trying to get the embeds to pass.

Good work! As an international user I especially appreciate the textdomain fix.

Sou would it be fair to say that these are pretty much working for everyone?
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate (joined July 2007) Likes (0)
Haven't rolled them out yet. Been sick. (Heck, went home yesterday afternoon.)
Member (joined October 2009) Likes (0)
No new themes added?
Then why is it named '133 themes' while the previous one was '100 themes'?
Just wondering.
Thanks for the pretty update!
Founder & CEO (joined May 2007) Likes (0)
Hi Kenneth, there should be another 33 new themes in there.... maybe you need to enable them at site admin > themes?
Member (joined October 2009) Likes (0)
That's weird. Quoting your first post in this thread,
Confusing.,.
Keeper of the Dark Chocolate (joined July 2007) Likes (0)
Maybe "No new theme suggestions...."
Geeky Developer (joined June 2009) Likes (0)
check if theme like 'magazeen' exist in new themepack..if yes..it should be the new 133 one.
anyway..the 133 theme will have some more update before official non-beta released.
cheers

I've installed these. Many have a "A newer version is available" message with the option to update. Should I update them or do the versions in this set have customization I'll lose on update?
Thanks.

OK, new version now up and ready, so an unsticking this thread and announcing the pack as no longer beta.
@richcoy definitely don't update as prompted, you'll lose all of our customizations... these themes are, we promise, serious improvements on the originals :)

I'd like to know this also.
Member (joined May 2010) Likes (0)
I am not able to download these themes. I'm just downloading an empty folder here.
Member (joined May 2010) Likes (0)
Did you try again?
I had the same problem with the updated easy bloging wizard last night. I tried again and it worked fine.

just saw the K2 theme options:
Ajax Success JavaScript
JavaScript code that will be executed whenever Advanced Navigation is dynamically loaded.
Is that script field getting secured, somehow? Isn't this dangerous?

mandigo theme:
the footer contains this text: Create a new blog and join in the fun! with a link to wp-signup.php - doesn't work with the anti-splog plugin

the hemingway them doesn't save my changes to the block in the sidebars...

I just got it. Thanks dubya. It seems the problem was caused by having download accererator plus running. I'm not sure why that messed it up, but turning it off made it much easier.

I just downloaded and installed the new theme pack today and also get this message. Is it only visible to admins, or all users? Can the notice be removed?
