Unfortunately, a bug has been discovered in version 1.14 that causes the following error in all versions prior to 2.7 (which is currently in beta):
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: post_password_required()

This 1.15 release fixes that bug. We encourage everyone that upgraded to 1.14 to now upgrade to 1.15. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We pushed out Vigilance 1.14 today in anticipation of the upcoming WordPress 2.7 release. Vigilance 1.14 is ready for 2.7 and we are already running the latest beta version here! One of the most exciting new features of 2.7 is comment threading. We are excited to announce Vigilance now has built in support for comment threading. We encourage you to take a look at all of the new features that will be included in WordPress 2.7.

Note: Older versions of Vigilance will work with 2.7, but will not have the comment threading feature. As always we recommend upgrading to the latest version.

Theme Options

Never mind digging through HTML…

Vigilance has a fully featured options menu that allows you to customize just about every last corner of the theme. Never mind digging through HTML and CSS all day, no coding experience is necessary. Just point and click ( and maybe type ).

Did we mention it’s FREE!

Vigilance is released under the terms of the GNU GPLv3. What the heck does that mean? That means the theme is open source software and you can download it and do anything you want with it. Well not anything you want. The license does not permit:

• Distributing Vigilance under a different license.
• Other weird stuff you thought of when we said anything.
