I installed the DailyQuote plugin but on my site I get the following error,

Template Error: filename: file /hsphere/local/home/shanegib/shanegibney.com/layout/ClearBlue/blockheader-left.thtml does not exist.
Halted.

I can't remember or find info on how to set the theme to work with a plugin. I know there's something I do with style.css

Could someone please directme to where I'll find out how to do this?

blockheader-left.thtml is pretty much a standard template file included in most, if not all, themes. I assume that the plugin makes use of the file where the rest of your stuff doesn't. For the quick fix, copy over the template file by that same name from the professional theme.

Thanks Machinari,

I did as you said for blockheader-left.thtml and also needed to do so for blockfooter-left.thtml and now I can at least get the quotes working. But the top left block reads

DailyQuote
Listings (0)
Search Quotes

with no outline around the block.

So basically this is as you said the quick-fix.
What's the not-so-quick-fix!

search for blockheader-left.thtml in the dailyquote functions.inc file, replace it with blockheader.thtml. Do the same for blockfooter-left.thtml.
