Thanks, Cais, for answering my first one! Two more quick q's and then I think I can wrap this one up.<br>
<br>
Chip, you'd noted in a previous review of this theme "Theme must not disable comments on Pages, or require custom fields to enable." To clarify, you meant that pages should *not* use custom fields to enable/disable comments? Am I reading that right?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Correct. WordPress includes a per-post (and per-page) comments setting. Themes should not require ANY UI outside of this core UI for enabling/disabling comments. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
And a more general question: The theme is designed to display only excerpts on index.php, and does not use the_content() to display post content. This breaks some functionality--the "Read More" link does not jump to the "more" tag location. Is this OK? If so, should I make a note for the author to include a brief explanation in readme.txt to this effect?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Displaying excerpts in ANY context is fine, as long as the Theme displays full post content *somewhere* (minimally, at least in the single-post view).</div><div><br></div><div>However, use of the_content() is required when displaying the full-post content - if for no other reason, because MANY Plugins rely on the existence of the_content(), and the the_content filter.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Where the Theme jumps from the "Read More" link is less critical, though that should probably be left as Plugin territory.</div><div><br></div><div>Chip</div></div>
