I have the latest version of WPMU-Nelo running on my main WPMU site - but it's acting strange -
EDITED:
#1 - on the admin Dashboard page, at the very top of the page, it's rendering "Array ( ) " - the Source code for the page is -
Array
(
)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />...
What is causing this? And how do I fix it? It doesn't do this on the default/other themes when I activate them - just on Nelo.
UPDATE: Strike that - this plugin - dashboard-widgets-order.php - is the culprit of the above. One down.
#2 - When I change out the Header images in the admin, sometimes when I change an image out, the next admin page after (the success page) still shows the old image. When I view the public site, it's changed/fine, and sometimes when I navigate out of that admin page and back again, it's changed. What is this? A cache issue? It's very confusing.
#3 - I'm attempting to do some customization of the theme - including changing the header and tweaking the overall width. I'm having issues with the theme wigging out on me when I comment out some code that allows the admin on the backend to change the background image (in the functions.php and fonts.php files) (I don't want the admin to be able to do that - I want to set the background image myself in the CSS and tile it HORIZONTALLY - which isn't an option in the admin) - and commenting out some other code in the header.php file. Specifically, it's creating a completely blank page when I navigate to http://mydomain.com/wp-admin - the source is even blank. So, for some reason, it's not bringing up the login page.
UPDATE: Strike again - this plugin - dashboard-widgets-order.php - is the culprit of the above. Two down.
#4 When I change the theme from Nelo to some other theme, the page after I activate a new theme is blank, and I have to just manually navigate back to my http://mydomain.com/wp-admin page again. Also, the "preview for the theme is not working - i.e. - the lightbox that pops up over-screen when you click on the theme is blank. Then you activate the theme, it goes to the blank admin page, but the public side changes to Nelo, and when you navigate back to http://mydomain.com/wp-admin, the dashboard comes up and under themes it says that WPMU-Nelo is activated. That's just a little disconcerting/annoying.
I'm going to do some testing, and take my modifications to the theme one step at a time - but if anyone has any insight as to how to SAFELY disable some of the backend admin features of Nelo (such as disabling the admin's ability to change background, change fonts, change text colors, etc.) while still retaining the ability for the admin to change the front page images, I'd love to hear how to do it.

#2 - Yep - that's a caching issue, we thought we had it fixed though - what browser / settings are you using and are you using the latest (i.e. downloaded in the last 2 weeks) version of the theme?
#4 - I believe this is a WPMU issue to do with themes with -s in their name, I have to say personally I find the preview theme option annoying too and have replaced it with: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-theme-preview/ (Another quality Viper product!)
I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 on a Mac and the latest version of WPMU-Nelo (version 2.6, according to the stylesheet). I'm betting it's caching it - maybe it's also something to do with Gears (I DO have that enabled as well on that site).
FABULOUS! Weird - but at least you had an idea of what it is - I found that if I re-named the directory without any - (hyphens) : it cleared up the lightbox/preview issue.
I also followed the same naming convention on the Theme Name (top of style.css) (without any -s) - and didn't use _ (underscores) either - just spaces and regular old capitalization -
And it seems to not give me that blank page now when switching between themes either (although I'm not exactly sure what cleared that up - that could have been a plugin conflict instead).

Heya:

Lemme know if those help.
