      You need to have Modularity installed for On Assignment to function properly. On Assignment is a child theme for Modularity.

        I have an older version of Modularity and I’m trying to run On Assignment child theme but I keep getting:

        Warning: file(/home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/on-assignment/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

        Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180

        Cant figure out what’s wrong.

    Hi guys

    I’m still having exactly the same problem.

    What happened was:

    1 – I first installed On Assignment first without Modularity.
    2- I then realized this was wrong and deleted both.
    3- I then installed 1st Modularity and then On Assignment (using Fetch FTP)
    and activated only On Assignment.

    4- The truth is the “broken theme messages” are still there and I have no idea of how to fix it.

    Please reply as soon as possible as I need to complete my website urgently

    Thanks a lot

      If you get the “broken theme” message, this is because you don’t have Modularity installed. This theme is a child theme for Modularity.

    Hi there,

    I want to install this theme… IN SPANISH LANGUAGE.

    Is there any es_ES.mo file around or should I enter in the code to change all possible messages into spanish language?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am using this theme, and i have seen some of the example links. In my theme all my pages appear under the “pages” drop down on the nav bar. In some of the example sites they have their pages displayed accross the nav bar and not just all crammed in one menu. Any ideas how to make this happen.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mike
