Just starting to look at Hybrid… only hear good things about it.
I’ve signed up for the free membership but will probably upgrade to paid membership shortly.

Anybody know of any CMS page based sites that use Hybrid? That’s what I’m interested in.

Tired to repeat the same old story? Maybe, that’s because the instructions are not clear enough for many people.

I am planning to use this theme on my blog. I am currently figuring out how to get the features I want working. After that, I will be customizing the look. :p

I love what you did with Hybrid on WP Tavern. It makes me feel as if I am really in some old western tavern :p

Now I understand the moderator’s response. He’s probably just tired of repsonding to comments from those of us who didn’t install the plugin correctly. As it turns out the problem was due to my own error. I had unzipped the Hybrid theme and uploaded the whole thing directly into the themes folder. I should have uploaded only the folder called “hybrid”. Justin is right, the Hybrid News works fine.

@Erwin M – I’m having the same problem and, like you, have deleted and reinstalled both plugins several times. When I visit the Theme Hybrid site I found several people posting the same problem. Unfortunately the response from the administrator was to “stop making comments unless you have something constructive to say,” and that he had “seen it working on hundreds of sites and it’s working fine.” Hmmm.

I already install theme hybrid, than I follow with child theme : hybrid news. But when I want to select that child theme, it located in BROKEN THEME ( STYLESHEET AND TEMPLATE IS MISSING).

Can anyone help me? I try to download again but the problem is still the same.

@Justin Tadlock - I'm using WP Comment Remix but I'm really using some custom code that was provided to me through Kaspars of Konstruktors.com I'll see if I can dig up the code.

@Jeffro – Yeah, 11. At least I have loads of extra ideas I can use in future themes though. I completely threw away about half of them, but I’ve kept a handful to implement later.

By the way, what plugin/script are you using for your “Reply” link here in the comments? I’ve been looking for something like this, even if I have to rip apart a plugin to get it.

Nice looking theme Justin! I’m going to download and give it a run this weekend.

Lol, he forgot to add a Suckerfish script to the theme! Emailing him with a bug correction now.

The theme does look pretty slick though. Nice job Justin!
