Fixed one of the common complaint of layout breaking when unable to retrieve feed. Instead of displaying the lengthy “Warning: array_slice(): The first argument should be an array…”, a simple message “Feed may be down” is shown.

List of updates for OneNews Theme v1.5

  • Display “Feed may be down” message instead of “Warning: array_slice(): The first argument should be an array”, which breaks the layout
  • Tested on WP 2.5
  • Fix fat top banner in IE (style.css and styleb.css)
  • Upgrade Exec-PHP plugin to version 4.7
