does it make sense to use the clean theme ?

I’m not talking about the visual side of Clean Theme, I don’t need upgrades for that reason for now.
What I meant is that upgrading to the newest Symbio (that adds crucial refinements to the cart etc) totally screws up the Clean Theme which is not compatible with that upgrade 2.7.x.

I love the Clean Theme and use it so far on all my sites. Waiting now for the upgrade….

Yes you need to remove the old version and then install the new version. I speak under correction but the current version won’t give you an option to upgrade to the new version that is currently being tested. It’s like a safety precaution. So you have to manually deactivate it, delete it, and then install the newer beta version. Then you will get notifications on upgrades.

Once you install the new version then make sure you have your child theme activated and it will work with your SymbioStock version.

This is what I have done with the new version, currently v2.8.0 as of this morning. http://stockyimage.com/

There is some custom work on my site but the information is all here on the board or on the help site.

Plugins I’m using;
Jetpack: http://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/
I think there is a prompt for it when you set up? I can’t remember.

For my “Talk To Me” form to send me email.

Amr Shortcode Any Widget: http://webdesign.anmari.com/1649/shortcode-any-widget/
Allows me to use widgets in a page like just below my front page welcome paragraphs.

SYXtra Symbiostock eXtra Features: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/
Warning, only some features will work properly. Ask if you get into complications. I’d say set up your site first and then decide if you need it.

I’m only using it to produce the random images from my site gallery, tweak the header fonts ONLY, and page count views on the images. The rest is currently broken. It also adds a whole lot of footers and such to the widgets page that DON’T work and clutter up the view of that settings page layout. I would recommend first doing your page layout and then adding SYXtra as you can see which parts are new… and don’t work with the new theme until such time the plugin is updated.
