Wow.. It is a small world, I live within 10 miles of colonial lol..

Let me know if you need any help, I had fun making the plugin :)\

PS: Most of the coding of the plugin is NOT for the sidebar form. The code that processes the sidebar is a total of like 50 lines at the most, so most of that plugin can be cut out for you.

I have release the new version in extend. The fix is below:

The comment at the top of the template file needs to come after the doctype.

Instead of:

<!--
Author: Mike Henken
Author URL: http://michaelhenken.com/
Theme Adapated From: http://www.html5webtemplates.co.uk/templates/simplestyle_4/index.html
-->
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

It needs to be:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!--
Author: Mike Henken
Author URL: http://michaelhenken.com/
Theme Adapated From: http://www.html5webtemplates.co.uk/templates/simplestyle_4/index.html
-->

Or you can just remove the credits to me entirely and just leave the doctype on top

Now that's what I call a quick, helpful, competent reply. I put the doctype on top, and zoom. Fantastic. Thank you!

By the way, In the new version (in extend), I included an additional template file with no sidebar.

Re: Simplicity Theme

Another question: The search option only refers to pages, but not to news; news posts (containing the search term) will not be found. Is there any quick fix?

Re: Simplicity Theme

No quick fix that I know of. You could create a new template for your "Blog" page and put the blog search bar in place of the pages search bar in that template file.

Re: Simplicity Theme

Or somebody updates the News Manager to support searching with the I18N Search plugin as described here...

I18N, I18N Search, I18N Gallery, I18N Special Pages - essential plugins for multi-language sites.
