   Hi

   I am trying to customize avisio for my different sites so I followed the steps I found on wordpress somewhere and did these:
   1. Copied the "avisio" theme folder and created a new theme folder called "avisio-photoblog"
   2. Modified the theme name in style.css in the root of "avisio-photoblog" (Is this case sensitive? I hope not)
   3. Changed the theme on my wordpress site from "Avisio" to "Avisio-PhotoBlog"
   4. I thought it would work already, but after refreshing my site this error popped up:

   Fatal error: Call to a member function set_cufon_font() on a non-object in D:\Hosting\3358824\html\wp-content\themes\avisio-photoblog\header.php on line 75

   Is there a step I missed? This is the first time I am trying this out. LIne 75 looked like this:
   $k_option['custom']['styling']->set_cufon_font($applyCustomFontTo, $k_option['general']['font_heading']);

   Hey,
   no it isn't a difficult question but it's a strange error. I renamed avisio folder + style.css name several times without any problems. Maybe a file is corrupt? If you want you can send me your renamed theme folder and I try to use it on my test server. My email adress is: kriesi2000-dude@yahoo.com

   Hi Dude,

   After reading your reply I decided to start from scratch using a different method and it worked this time around. You may be right about a file being corrupted.

   I suppose this new "avisio-photoblog" theme would not attempt to update itself like the original "avisio" theme, would it? I'm just concerned about loosing any modifications I make to the theme copy.

   Thanks for the input!

   Hey,
   Avisio doesn't try to update itself because it isn't connected to WP.org's theme and/or plugin directory. So you won't loose any modifications.
