DISQUS

neha · 1 year ago

After spending more than a year on k2 - I finally moved to find some themes that allowed heavy-duty tweaking, and for some reason got more support from the wordpress community. Trouble is though that shifting themes requires a lot of attention and time.. but if you have the heart to do it - there are far more flexible themes available..

Hi Neha - what did you end up going with? and to shift themes - does it break everything? i.e. how painful is it? :)

I picked up a lovely template from here. It wasn't too painful actually - compared to the amount of pain it took to maintain k2 - given that a lot of plugins don't play well with k2. And once I shifted, it's been very low maintenance. Mostly because it's a light weight theme that can be tweaked very easily even by a css-ignorant person like me! :) It didn't break anything major... Maybe you should just take a backup of your existing k2 files, try a new template and play around with it for a few hours, and move back to the backedup k2 files if it all feels like too much! :)

Damn, K2 simply SUCKS ASS! I ain´t sorry for swearing, I tell the truth. You just can´t change the link color. Perhaps they used not a 6-digit color code, some time 3 digits work. And that sucks even more. You can´t search the CSS-files for the color-code, because you don´t know which one was used for this shitty blue :( fuck it, never gonna use this shit again.

You are absolutely right. I still do't understand why blog people have to deal with so much code, instead of using their time for writing interesting posts. Is anyone listening?
