I'm using this theme as well at http://mickipedia.com. I'm having trouble with the lifestream plugin which came with the theme. I'm getting errors every time I try to add my twitter feed. Did you install the plugin independently of the theme? I'm thinking of deactivating it and reinstalling to see if a fresh install of the plugin will fix the bugs.
Mark Krynsky · 9 months ago

Hmm, I was already using the LIfestream plugin prior to adding this theme. I also just looked at the zip file from the theme and didn't see it included. I haven't had an issue importing my Twitter account. I would recommend getting the latest version of the Lifestream plugin from here and then re-installing it. There is also a support forum available for the plugin where you may be able to get help on any issues.

I am really REALLY tempted to switch to this theme. It's definitely what I've been looking for and I'm pretty sure I could hack in FriendFeed support as an option...maybe even support a different photo service (I'm not that into Flickr).
Mark Krynsky · 9 months ago

Yea, as I said I'm tempted to move to this as well. I'm sure replacing the Lifestream plugin block with FriendFeed wouldn't be too hard. I'd also like to move the video block to the upper right as well. I might tinker with this after I get back from SXSW.

hey nice tutorial/review. but how do i get into the dedicated option page? when i uploaded the whole folder to the themes folder i get a totally different outlook.

much appreciated.

My guess is that you are not running version 2.7 of Wordpress. They revamped the navigation so that's why it may not be displaying the same way for you.

Glad to see Lifestream getting more and more support! I really like the idea of including the plugin in theme designs, and it's a great starting with WooThemes.

However, I wanted to make one comment, which bothered us a bit. The Irreistable theme from WooThemes has some not-very-nice CSS included by default, which forces your page to hide Lifestream credits (which are opt-in only) as well as the date headers.

I would have preferred to see them as an option rather than putting this on the user without a choice.

Please see this post, http://www.ibegin.com/labs/forums/index.php?top..., for the lines which cause the problems.

Thanks for providing this info David. Perhaps you can contact Woo about having the author provide a fix. I too love seeing your plugin getting wider support. Thanks for providing us such a great Lifestreaming plugin for Wordpress!

Well, that's unfortunate. They could at least have credited you in the footer.

This theme is amazing and I want to use it so bad. I am currently using one theme but I just don't like it anymore. When I go to install irresistible I get this error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_pagenavi() in /home/scottfor/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/irresistible/functions/admin-setup.php on line 162. How can I fix this?
Mark Krynsky · 9 months ago

Sorry Scott. I have no idea on that one.
IzuddinHelmi · 9 months ago

perhaps you should deactivate "wp_pagenavi" plugin. :)

I decided to google the theme a bit before paying the 40/yr for theme support. I ended up coming across a comment that mentioned serious IE7 issues. I checked it myself and it puts the right sidebar on the bottom of the blog content.
Mark Krynsky · 9 months ago

Hmm, I just tried it using both the regular and custom home page and couldn't duplicate the issue. Strange.

Any idea how to get the tabs section (containing posts, comments, tagcloud) to actually work as switchable tabs? Similar to the picture above, the entire section on mine just scrolls down rather than staying hidden until clicked.

Hi guys, just to let you know that we have ported the theme to storytlr. Since it is free and GPL, the guys at WooThemes were happy for us to do so ! Check out the sample page here: http://irresistible.storytlr.com

Thanks Mark for discovering this gem !
Mark Krynsky · 8 months ago

Nice work on porting this over. I'm sure many users will be very happy you did.

How do you get the MyPhotos to show up in the sidebar on a blog post page?
