Eventide: my version of the WordPress theme Dusk

You probably noticed that my template is a lot like Dusk, but with a few changes. I’ve changed quite a bit, and fixed a few bugs since I think that Beccary has kinda stopped updating, and also, her website has a virus on it, somehow. (All I know is that whenever I go to her homepage, Norton pops up.)

So, you can go ahead and download Eventide – my version of Dusk – over on my goodies page. It’s under GNU GPL, so use it however you want.

An update to the Dusk theme

I’m using the Dusk theme, by Beccary (you can get to the links from my footer) because it’s beautiful. I did find a bug with the permalink not showing properly which I’ve fixed. I’ve emailed Rebecca Wei about it, but until she fixes it in her release, I figured I’d write down how I’ve fixed it myself, for other people that want to.

Both fixes are in the main index file (index.php). On one line, you just need to add a space. It’s line 11.
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?><?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
Needs to be changed to…
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
The next fix is to line 31.
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?><?php _e('Permalink'); ?></a>
Should be…
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?>"><?php _e('Permalink'); ?></a>

Or, you can just download up updated version of Dusk – Eventide – from my download page.
