Thank you SO much! I've made changes to that link now. Turns out they moved their program to Clickbank, and as far as I can tell, they didn't bother to let their affiliates know. Grrrrrrr. Cheers, Ros Hi Elli.

I almost bought but them I checked the FAQ and after having the new v3 for months now, they refer to v2. If they can't even update a couple of pages on their Sales site, imaging the documentation.

Bradley is right, in that the "help" are simple replies, "look at the documentation." Support is supposed to be in addition to documentation, and, should, at the very least, be polite. I like the idea of wpremix, but, the reality is much less than what I expect from a premium purchase.

Tara is spot-on about reviews being skewed because of the affiliate program, and Brady is spot-on about the theme being a disaster. WP Remix is revolutionary in concept and offers some awesome features (e.g. 50 great templates) I haven't found in other any other theme, BUT it can be a real p.i.t.a. to work with: the template-editor has serious bugs (the WYSIWYG editor is a complete failure and the HTML editor MUST be used, + more) you must edit multiple css files to edit the design of one little content area, and I've experienced a slew of other technical issues and bugs that I've never experienced on any other theme. The "documentation" is a poor translation of poor instructions and if you skim through the support forums you'll find a lot of users frustrated by their installation and lack of support. Bottom line: I love the concept of WP Remix, but I'm throwing in the towel: the editor is too buggy, the code is too dirty, and it's just not reliable. I thought I'd be saving time and effort by choosing a theme "designed as a CMS" with 50+ templates, but now I'm realizing it'll take me less time to beef up my xHTML, PHP, and CSS skills and turn a more reliable theme into a static site. I use WP Vybe and WP Thesis on a few of my other sites, and have been VERY happy with both... and I can vouch for the support being light years ahead of WP Remix. Actually? Now that I wrote all this down, I feel kinda ripped off. John,

You can do the same in any of the themes though. Just save the sidebar.php as sidebar1.php, sidebar2.php etc. then, editing the type of page where you want the different sidebar to appear (home.php, archive.php etc.), change the relevant call to sidebar.php to sidebar1.php or whatever. Then you can use the Appearance -> Widgets page, and the dropdown selector at the top right, to choose the relevant sidebar version to make unique. I do it as standard now on all my Revolution themed sites. And yes, by comparison, the Remix code is 'interesting'! I run them all Ros – the one I’m looking at right now is News.
