Thanks for the submission cusinndzl.

You've got a bunch of meta tags as well as styling info in index.php. Shouldn't that all be contained within header.php?

I like this theme. It reminds me of limes. :)

It was easy to set up & configure with some cool options on the theme's option page.

One question, what does the file icons.php do? Also, contained within that file are calls to non-existent images in the images folder. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious here?

clickonf5 on "Wordpress Security - Don't post articles with Admin account"

clickonf5 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:47:24 +0000

Wordpress security is one of the main concern when this platform is getting so much popularity. To accomplish that, one should take a simple step by creating a new admin ID and password and delete the default "admin". As the default admin name for wordpress is "admin" which is known to everyone and may help hackers to get into your dashboard. So delete the default admin after creating another one. Then the most important thing is to hide the admin name. To do that, never post an article with admin account otherwise your admin account will get exposed.

Create a new user with editor privilege and write post using that ID only. Get more details about this type of security on Internet Techies.

UseShots on "Hacker attack has broken thousands of WordPress blogs"

UseShots — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:45:47 +0000

Malware attack, known as Gumblar, targets PHP driven websites. It injects a backdoor script into various .php files on compromised sites.

A bug in the backdoor script effectively breaks WordPress blogs that start to report the following error for every requested page (including admin interface)

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare xfm() (previously declared in /path/to/site/index.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /path/to/site/wp-config.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 1

The name of the reported function changes from site to site but stays meaningless.

The scope of the problem can be revealed by the following Google search that currently returns 62,000 results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22previously+declared+in%22+%22wp-config.php%22+eval+code+%22on+line+1%22
Most results point to either compromised WordPress blogs or to posts about compromised WordPress blogs.

This is what I like to see when reviewing a theme release - tons of info along with a working demo.

With respect to the theme, nice work once again wpskinner. This theme was extremely easy to set up and configure. I like the 3 blocks at the top of the page.

My tastes must be slowly changing over time as I'm experiencing a new found appreciation for dark themes. :)

Len on "[New Theme] Coffee Lite"

Len — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:07:14 +0000

I've given this post a lot of thought. Since the original theme by WooThemes was released under the GPL and since I am a huge supporter of the GPL I will allow your post to stand for that reason and that reason alone.

The GPL allows you to redistribute the code so long as you keep the original credits intact.
