Awesome work my friend :)

Thanks for sharing!

the cartoon is soo cute!

=== second ====

nice grunge, but its looks complicated, too much images. I love simple style

Looks great! Heavy on the graphics though,.,…

Very nice, and I think as we’re in 2008 we shouldn’t be so stuck up about “graphics heavy” most of us have broadband, and hosting costs are getting cheaper and cheaper, I’d rather see 2 graphics heavy sites that look great than 200 similar looking boring “quick loading” sites. Either way, nice work.

Nice looking design.

Ich finde es klasse, mal nicht so 08-15 wie die meisten Themes. Tolle Arbeit!

WoW - great!
Now i try to translate it in italian.

What a grungily beautiful theme. I am tempted to use the graphic logo on my own blog.

danke, super gemacht!

looking good!

Wonderful as always! :-)

It would be great to see a demo of this theme too!

Nice theme! The stock illustration you used is everywhere though.

Theme looks too coool ….

I’m having trouble installing the theme - Word press reports: WordPressFun/style.css is not readable. I’ve reuploaded the file, even checked it in a text editor and it looks fine. Anyone got suggestions?

Looks nice. Might try my hand at doing a free theme

Great looking theme! Thanks!

This is so strange.. I saw that design being sold on sitepoint. How come it is now free. And since the vector illustration is a stock image how do you manage the copyright issues?

Hello,

I am the designer of the theme. The stock image was bought. The design was bought by Smashing Magazine via SitePoint.

Best wishes,

Maleika

Very nice designed theme. I’ve seen this theme on sitepoint marketplace

Hi, i found the header image on a tumblr site. mini.jtale.com It’s the same designer?

so nice ！

Wow, this is really amazing! Thank you! (:

Nice theme but quick question - Is there any issues about using a stock photo in a theme distributed like this? Does the images license allow this kind of distribution? Link [www.istockphoto.com].

exquisite work ：）

nice theme.. i love it

Très jolie

a high quality theme enough to be a premium wordpress theme, and yet was give for free! freakin’ awsome!

Anyone else struggling to get it working? I’m having STYLESHEET IS MISSING errors.

finally installed it the png fix for logo and featured image is not working on ie6 any suggestion

Genius. Thanks. Great work.

Wow. I like this theme very much. Great work!

Awesome ! I love this theme so much :x

Great work! The them looks really good.

Really great finition… a little too complexe for me too but still a really good work… great…

ugly as hell

Hi, wonderful theme , no doubt ! I have just one question : i’d like to translate the theme ( no other modifications ) and place a download link of the translated theme on my site… do I have the permission to do so ?
Thanks

Very cool…will you make something similar but a bit more professional? ^^

Really, is Smashing Magazine in violation of the copyright if the istockphoto vector image by redistributing this?!?

Istockphoto:

ONE THING THAT IS MISSING IN ‘READ ME FILE’ for the archive page don’t forget to select the page template ‘archives’ else archive page won’t display posts.

Big thank

Very nice theme!!! Perfect for me. Thanks

Great theme indeed. Thanks!

Great theme! I love the kid with the lappy :) I so like it, I am probably going to switch my theme to it till the time I find time to design my own theme someday for my blog.

Maleika Attawel, I will definitely send you an acknowledgment email once I switch over :)

The theme is great!I like it!

I like your WordPress themes, but you never make them 800×600 compatible. :(

controversial theme!

I love the artwork. Good composition, but somehow there is a bit of a disconnect in regards to the actual items used in the illustration. Popcorn, Soda, Skeleton themed Headphones, maybe if you used some more common elements. The Kid Illustrated seems to be focused on one type of audience, not all, you know what I mean? Not every user has this same profile?

Just a comment :)
Nice work though, very outside the box creative!

Dell.

Awesome theme guys! The best free Wordpress theme so far.

How about the font files used in this theme?
They are not included with the source files.

Not bad, but I am not fan of the grunge look. I totally loved the featured content on the side though.
Is anybody away of any minimal style theme with the featured content on the side, (just like above).
I think the designer will do us a lot of service by giving us a less grungy version of this theme.
Please help.

something about the title illustration for this article makes me want to shoot myself in the face.

Calítoe: 800×600? Come on now… When Yahoo updates their front page to 1024, it’s time for everyone else to catch up.

Are you still rocking a 56.6kbps modem too?

Thanks, this theme looks quite cool.

Awesome theme - added to my site. The boy graphic is very easy to edit. I changed mine around quite a bit.

Matthew

Love the theme and the new rockatee.com website.
How does one port a wordpress theme to a plain CSS layout?

never post befor, my 1st… just like to say thanks.. i love smashingmagazine..

Does anyone know how I could add a widget sidebar to the right of the posts?

i had bought a pro theme but switched to this one … i wasn’t a regular visitor of smashing magazine but now i thinking to join the fan club of smashing magazine :) it’s pro theme and it was supposed to be little complicated… contact form is useless and i disabled the plugin and it’s working fine. the only thing that is lacking in every free theme is ‘ support ‘ i think many people would love to switch to this theme provided one is out there to solve their issues, it has little compatiblity issue with ie6 logo does not appear despite png transparent fix coding…. anyway best theme for personal blog thumbs up!!!

can anyone help with how to get the small images to show up in posts on the front page?

Nice theme, thanks!

Articles for JOOMLA ?

Nice design, a little too dark for me.

would love to see this as a Drupal Theme :)

That’s really nice!

Good theme,I like it .maybe i will use!

So cool…Thanks !!!!

awesome stuff, great work dude… thank’s a lot…!

Absolutly Awesome Theme!!! I love it!! Please more Ai cartoon style WordPress Theme. Really Thanks

Absolutely fantastic work! Just looking at the .psd file, you can tell the amount of work that went into it and the real attention paid to every little detail. While some might night like the grunge look or might think the theme is too dark, if you look at what actually went into making this wordpress theme, you really can’t help but appreciate it. Great job Smashing Magazine!

cool!

grunge n cute at the same time .. nice!

Thank you for the Theme.. it is awesome! :)

Nice theme! Thank you.

nice theme, although the link to the most-commented-posts-plugin (which is needed apparently) is dead…
anybody ?

Great Theme, I can’t wait to try. Thank you! :)

Am I the only one having a problem with the left margin of the headings in the bottom? They seem completely off in the preview!?

Nice job…. =)

thanxs a lot

Absolutely amazing theme, great work.

I found a link for the most commented posts widget here most-commented-posts-plugin

Too full, too charged, too complicated!

A lot of “buggy” things (the un-transparent “page fold” in the footer) and unesthetic things!

You can do better, much better!

Also here is a link for the plugin. Link [www.nice4rice.com]

How do i go about having an image in the posts image placeholder?

Does it works with Wp 2.6?. I cant configure it. Everything is in a wrong place.

Hello, hello.

Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone for their comments and criticism, good and bad alike, so dankeschön, gracias, thanks, merci, grazie, and … can’t think of any other languages right now. :)

In response to comment #31:

Jeff: Add the absolute path to the images locations in your /themes/WordPressFun/images/ie.css folder and it should work.

In response to comment #41:

Jeff: That is correct. Thanks for the heads up. The archive page needs to use the archive template page.

In response to comment #45:

Ankit: Thanks muchly!

In response to comment #51:

Mike, the fonts are Georgia and Arial. As these are “mostly” installed on every computer, I have not included them.

In response to comment #57:

Ty, By viewing the source file, you can view the HTML skeleton which is not WordPress dependent.

In response to commment #59:

Matthew, the design was not created with a right sidebar column, so unless you’d roll up your sleeves, change the visual layout via the .psd, the CSS, and the HTML as well as the WordPress theme files, it is not possible.

In response to comment #66:

Matthew, it is explained in the readme file. If you still have issues, do let me know.

In response to comment #86:

jCoote, do you mean the image thumbnails? If so, you will find the instructions in the readme file.

In response to comment #87:

dogday, have you installed the theme as outlined in the readme? If you are still experiencing problems after that, do let me know and I’ll be glad to help.

If I have forgotten anything or neglected to respond to someone’s particular installation issues, do give me a shout.

Best,

Maleika

I feel so silly having totally missed the Readme notes. Thank you for everything Maleika.

JCoote aka Makki

One more question i have is how do i change the text shadow in the header?

JCoote,

for that you will need to open the .psd file. Assuming you want to change the text to reflect your site (from wordpress.fun to something more adequate), go to the Logo layer and see what styles I have applied to the layer labeled text BG. Create your text, select it, then go to Select > Modify > Expand and enter a value of 2 pixels. For the expanded selection, create a new layer, fill it with a background colour and add a dropshadow or anything else you like.

Maleika Attawel

Hi Dude,
nice theme btw.

first thing: How do you make an image appear in the column-one/php section (featured)
In your post you have one but even with the custom field in, nothing show’s up.

Second: the image.php files doesn’t work properly. when you attach an image and have check post url (brings /?attachment=id) the design gets skrewed up.

Thanks for this nice theme.
Cheers

I’m always a fun of ChinHang Chung Illustrations. I’ve got in my queue to release a couple of free themes too using his designs.

Very nice designed, but are we limited to 4 menu options ? How will the design behave when we had 6 or 8 options?

Great work

great theme!

Thanks for your support Maleika.

Im still fighting to make this theme look like the screenshot.

Another question: I have changed some texts and translated other in the psd file. How do I export only the needed zones of the full .psd image to fit the images into the /themes/WordpressFun/images folder (to overwrite them)?

Thanks in advance again.

Ok one problem solved. My screen resolution is 1024 x 768 so I couldnt see the theme in the correct way.

Just need to know as I told, how to export the images.

Thanks.

yes, nice theme

but i cant access to that website :(

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /images/wordpress-theme-fun/wordpress-fun-source-files.zip on this server.

:/

dogday,

take the reference image (original) and open it in Photoshop to see its dimensions and placement. Then go back to your .psd, click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool, set the width and height for the portion you want to extract from the .psd, click on the .psd, place the selection exactly over the portion you want to extract, go to Edit > Copy merged, then File > New and finally Edit > Paste. Name it as the original and upload it to your themes/images/ folder.

hello
i wont to use the theme but i’m not able to see the image in the home page. How can i see the imge of article in the index. i see it on the article but not in the home page. where i have to change to insert a thumbuline in index?

This is amazing! Thanks

Wow !!! very hard work.

I will try to rebuild the image using the images in /themes/WordpressFun/images folder. After that I wil use fireworks to try to make a template.

Its much more easy to make changes this way.

Thanks again for your support.

Sehr schön gelungen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit!

Sorry don’t understand how to put in the archive page :(

Hi, I love this theme for my new personal blog. However, I want to translate the titles to spanish and change the image and the logo. I’ve tried to edit the PSD but I can’t find the text layers, so I don’t know how to do it. I use Pixelmator and not Photoshop but it’s more or less the same.

I hope anyone can help me or send me those text layers at fesjav a gmail dot com

thanks a lot

OMG! i can’t believe this theme is free! Thanks

I won´t use it, but it´s a great theme

if you interested in this theme but 2 column only you can get it at slimmity.com

wow this is absolutely a great WP theme! love the textures and the line patterns! :)
Thanks!!

Very nice and creative WP theme! i like it.

This is very nice theme, but it needs own hosting, how can I add to wordpress blog

Thanks for this beautiful theme. The illustration of the cartoon on the header is superb.

Hey Maleika Attawel,

First of all, great theme, just what I was looking for (sorta hehe). Amazing skills you have :)

Now to my little problem…Its about the categories section. I use it and i use it with hierarchy as true. Problem is, that it puts huge spaces between child categories…

Here is my blog : Link [friso.ambitious-mind.net]

I dont really know what i am doing wrong..Without hierarchy thingy it works. I hope you reply.

Thnx, and again well done on the template!

gr.
Friso

Hey Maleika Attawel,

Another wee little thingy, i dont understand what you guys mean by selecting the archives page? Sorry. Can you explain?

Gr.
Friso

Hi. This is very nice stuff. I’m working to convert it into blogger xml layout. I’m doing it for my reader, sell it, or maybe for I use in my other blog.

Thanks to share it..

Friso,

the unordered lists in the footer area (below the fold) have a fixed height, meaning if you nest another list within it, it will inherit the height of your parent unordered list. So, if you want to have a hierarchical list, change the code in the stylesheet (/themes/themename/style.css). Alter the following code:

.sub-container .category ul {
padding:0;
height:20em;
}

To this:
.sub-container .category ul {
padding:0;
}

That should fix it.

If you create a page, you can choose which template you want to use with it. In the dropdown, there is a page entitled “Archives”. Use that one. :)

Hey Maleika,

Thank you for replying with the solution, exceelllentt! Both problems are fixed now. I do however now know that i wont be using the fix for the categories thing, cause if i have too many categories… it will mess up your beautifull design :) But thanks !

its always nice to se a designer give some support :) Thank you for this!

Greets,
Friso

great for your part!!!!!!!!!! thanks a lot for be there!! saludos desde españa!!

Great WORK !!!!

But can someone explain why in de index the template display the normal link and in de singlei press a item, the Colum-one.php gets messed up and the url get outside the box

Cant see the sollution over here?

Awesome theme!!! Does anybody know where I can see a live preview of it and not just the image?

Perfect theme, Tank you!

What a beautiful WordPress theme and it s free! Props for that, Smashing Magazine!

This is why I love you guys ;)

Hello, I love the theme, but I’m getting an error message under the most discussed area:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_mostcommented() in /….removed…./wp-content/themes/WordPressFun/extra-content-two.php on line 7

Is there another plugin needed or something I need to enable somewhere?

Yea im receiving same error,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_mostcommented() in wp-content\themes\WordPressFun\extra-content-two.php on line 7

Can you help me?

That’s a great theme, I love it very much…
thanks for sharing~~

Problem with Theme (July 27th, 2008, 2:19 am)

Yea im receiving same error,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_mostcommented() in wp-content\themes\WordPressFun\extra-content-two.php on line 7

Can you help me?

Hey you must use the plugin wp-mostcommentedposts and add tag in the first line of file extra-content-two.php

apologise for my English because I am Brazilian and I do not know about the language. I hope I have helped!

Hi Peeps,

Thanks Maleika(she makes awesome looking themes, check out the ones on Sitepoint) for making this theme, ChinHang Chung, and Smashing Mag for giving it out for free!

How do you get an image to appear in the Featured section…? Can’t make it work. I put one @ the beginning of my post but that didn’t work…

The contact form is not aligned… is there an easy way to fix this? And I have those “bookmark me”(Social Bookmarks Plugin) graphics/links… under Featured they balloon up and show up vertically… check out Link [yoonhoum.com] and you’ll see what I mean. Guess I’ll go with ShareThis or use the other bookmarking plugin…

Thanks again
God Bless,
Yoon

i changed something in the colors and got a new mascot, this is the result: [http://www.tvsuperhero.com]

thanks a lot!

omg is wonderful!! thank you very much!

hmm.. thank you very much. usefull information

Super. It took almost a day to find this info. Thanks, great job. :)

I love this theme - I’ve played with it a lot to get it looking more like I want, but now I have a major problem - there’s no “Leave a Comment” or any way for readers to comment on my blog! I’m not sure what I messed up, but is there a way to fix it?

Link [www.motherhood-unscripted.com]

How do I replace “wordpress.fun” with my blog name? Sorry I didn’t understand the instructions regarding the logo (above).

BTW - I love this theme, and overall have found it very easy to install, and I am not techy at all.

busy dog sun trust tree yahoo ocean see sun

I don’t think the designer has bought an extended license for the use of the illustation on this theme, Why? because if he or she was planning to sell it or actually sold it at Sitepoint, he(she) must be selling it as a single templates full rights obviously but not for mass distribution and SmashingMagazine Didn’t notice this ;)

You might want to ask and clarify this guys because if not someone is going ot get into trouble ;)

Just my suggestion.

Well I do want someone to clarify this before using the theme, because if it’s Violating copyright laws then I dont want it, but I love it actually.

kari, there is no violating of copyright laws. please don’t post false accusations. (Editor)

that is really cool… maybe i will change my theme to this.. thanks…

This is a brilliant theme! Well done.

Just wanted to let you know I’ve added it to Link [www.bestwpthemes.com], a collection of the best of the best WordPress themes available today.

Having problems with this theme not loading some background images (bg, and div bgs), I’ve checked and double checked the files uploaded properly and CSS links are correct. Hmmm… :-/

Hello,
I’m using this theme and i have little problems, maybe because i’m a newbie.
1) My main problem is that the codes are displayed on previews. Normaly, you don’t see them.
2) I have read the readme.txt but i don’t succed to display the thumb in the small square.

You can see that in “Ceci est un test” on my website: Link [www.wakatrip.com]

Regards for your help and thank you ;)
The_Beatnik

wow.. nice theme. i luv it.

but the featured post section looks dull.. unlike the post on the right section..

thanx for sharing! :)

Hi myadlan,
I don’t finish to change the skin but the more important is to resolve bugs of display for the moment. Link [www.wakatrip.com]
Regards.
The_Beatnik

Thanks for share it :)

Ok that’s fine i resolve it.
Is anyone having problems with the thumbs?…I don’t succed to put a picture in the square.

Thank you.
THe_Beatnik

I seem to have the same issue as Beatnik. I just cannot get the thumbs to work.

I have followed the instructions in the readme file and
1) created a custom field withe the key thumb
2) created the following value:

And when i go to the page i only see the alt text “test” in thumb area.

What do i do wrong here?

Thanks in advance

David

Ouups, in the post above the value disappeared. Sorry. Here it is.

”

Happy to not be alone David ;)
I’ve try a lot a things and no thumb finaly….The guy who find the solution will be the king of this topic!

To show the image create the custom field named “thumb” and as a value we have to put an image tag with the path, but the src attribute has to be with single quotes instead of double quotes, that just get escaped. I tried it and it worked.
The images should be 82 x 82

I have however another problem. The sections at the bottom of the page aren’t growing (I have a lot of categories) so the text overflows those boxes.
Has anyone surpassed this problem?

Well, I use this theme, but when I come to the page 2 the thumbs already me do not turn out to be alone the bottom(fund), the images thumb disappear can see it, give click here
http: // psdcreativo.com/page/2/
But in my principal page
http: // psdcreativo.com/here if the thumb appear
Which can be the problem?

i like it

I have the same problem as Dario.

my thumbs dissapear when going to older entries - page/2

how can one fix that?
thanks a lot, i love this theme

wow what a nice looking theme. By far the best designed free theme available on the web. Nice job guys.

For the images beside the posts, do we have to use custom fields? and if so how? are there any specifications etc? cheers for sharing guys, its a great theme!

Hey there,

Amazing theme, I’m going to begin using it shortly here. I do have a small question to ask, do you mind sharing the header image font type?

For example, the font you used for the “featured” image, or the title text in the header? I’m looking into changing one of the boxes at the bottom, but I’d like to keep the header image consistent .

Thanks for your time, and the awesome theme.

Really thanks to you! Beautiful theme! I enjoy it…)

How in the world do you edit the guy typing on the computer in the template…like what if I want to replace him with another vector? How do I do that…the source file doesn’t have any splices in it. Is there an easy trick to this?

I have problem with stylesheet missing too…

I am new to this. How do I change the links in the “friends and links” section.
thanks!

I can not get posts to appear in the left hand side featured section to appear either. I created a category called “Featured”, and assigned three posts to that category, and I am using the default code in the column one php:
but nothing is appearing. Anyone know whats up?

my code didn’t get published on the last post…but I am using the default code…. ‘category_name=Featured&showposts=3′ …I didn’t change the code at all.

forget post 164 and 165…I figured it out…I had a punctuation issue. but not sure about #163

how do you display pictures in the left hand featured section like the picture of the website shows?

Also, I have been working on this for awhile and can not figure it out. HOw do I limit the number of posts ont he home page. I want to have a limit of 5, and then a button to go forward to page two, and a button backwards as well. Any advice on how do I do that?

John - you can set this up in your admin section - settings - and then some of the tags there (publication or sth)

thanks Rafal….I knew that had to be easy. Any odea how to get images to display in the featured left sidebar with the featured posts?

Great theme - I’m using it on my site but I hope you don’t mind I modified it quite a bit and changed the colour scheme etc.

Thanks guys! Great, great theme… easy to modify to fit my needs, and just beautiful! As a designer I never even take the time to work on Link [www.noelgreen.com], so I’m always so very happy when I find a theme that I like enough to change things up!

Thanks again!

I read the instructions for setup and cannot get the images to appear, can someone hear layout the steps from the beginning to the end. I would love to get this to work.

Thanks

Sam

Hi;
How can be display the thumb image?
I did all the steps, but the thumb image for all posts, not showing?
can anyone help me?
thanks.

I had to do a few steps to get the images to work. If you’d like go to my site, email me, and I’ll send you the revised code I used along with plug-in info (when needed).

Hi نويل
What is your site address?

Great theme. Thanks for sharing

Update! WordPress 2.6.2

I just started at Digital Design at my local university, and my group is using your theme. It’s pretty cool, good job. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but it looks good.

Does anyone know how to put thumbnails on the left sidebar where the featured content posts are located??

Great theme, but … (you take criticism right?)
Now that I have used it, I think it was only the graphic and layout that drew me to this wordpress theme. If it’s going to be called a “pro” theme, can you make it compatible with widgets? Also, this theme never executed the wp_footer() action. As a result a few important plugins didn’t work without my intervention.
Still, I love your magazine!

Does anyone know how to put thumbnails on the left sidebar where the featured content posts are located??
1. Upload your picture,
2. Copy the URL to your uploaded picture,
3. On your post, add a “Custom Field” with key “thumb” and value being the following:
<img src=” (place your URL here) ” >

thanks for your replay angie. I do that, and I DO get the little thumbnail on the main home page, BUT there are no images in the left column one left sidebar. IS there a different key for that?

It appears that is controlled by “.asides .featured-post img {” in the css.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_mostcommented() in …..

content\themes\WordPressFun\extra-content-two.php on line 7

Why is this appearing and how do I make this theme work properly…thanks….with wp 2.6

dave, when does this occur? when you access the web page, or when you access a certain function?

The header is a png file. How do I modify it? Does photoshop work for creating the file?

Awesome theme. Love this!

Excellent theme!

Can anyone recommend which plugins and widgets are best compatible with these theme?

Richard

The header is a png file. How do I modify it? Does photoshop work for creating the file?

The source files are available for download at the top for Photoshop.

Hello, I have the same problem :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_mostcommented() in /wp-content/themes/wordpress.fun/WordPressFun/extra-content-two.php on line 7
using wordpress2.6 any idea ? thanks !

Try *reading* the *readme* file…. you need to download a plugin to get it to work

@sophie I’ve got the same trouble, but I solved it, the point is the theme uses a plugin that not come with the wordpress default distribution, you can get this plugin here: Link [ja.rafi.pl]

Has anyone figured out how to get the image to show up in the Featured column on the far left?
The ‘thumb’ custom field only works for the middle column. Is there another custom field we can use to make the image display in the Featured column?

Jason, I asked that awhile back and have yet to figure it out. Does anyone know how to add an image to the left featured column? If so, I really would appreciate the insight. Thanks!

The featured column only shows the excerpt by default so you would most likely have to embed it or edit the template file to include an image from a custom field.

Is it just me or is there no readme file in this? There is a “readme.html” in the root, but this is just the standard WordPress readme. The license.txt doesn’t have any help either. I’m just trying to work out how to make custom Post thumbnails…

Awesome template by the way!! Thanks very much :)

John, I finally got it to work!
The only thing you need to edit (I think) is column-one.php
After this line:
?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?>

or actually, just as long as it is with the div class “featured-post”

You need to insert this code:
?php $key="post"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>

Then, in your post, create a custom field with the key “post” and make sure it is 300px wide and everything should work!

also check your style.css file to make sure you have this code
.asides .featured-post img {
width:300px;
padding:6px;
background:#6f5931;
border:2px dashed #826a3e;
}

ps. you also need to make sure you have the carrot before the ?php, I just couldn’t get this comment to include it. if anyone has advice on how I can make sure the full code is included in a forum post I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Just found the readme… it was in a higher directory than the rest of the working files :|

Hi,
Thanks for great work. Theme is amazing. I have a question, when I add categories, tags or ads (160×600) under the featured section using sidebar1 and sidebar2 none of the widget is appearing. I don’t want to put them in bottom section.

Any suggestion?

Thanks again!

i’m trying to figure out how to decrease the length of the post preview both in the main column and the featured column.
i’m not talking about the number of posts showing up, but the length of each post that is previewed. For the main column it looks like it is set to 5 rows of text and the featured column is set to 9.
does anyone have any idea where this can be controlled?

thanks!

This theme needs a wiki it’s so damn complicated!

Amazing theme. Nice color scheme and nice layout. Everything is working fine!

I have however a problem. The sections at the bottom of the page aren’t growing (I have a lot of categories) so the text overflows those boxes.

I noticed that couple of people have the same problem and some (like noelgreen.com) have it working properly.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thank you Jason of #197 for posting that code, I’ll use that when I’m ready to post a picture in the featured sidebar. I assume you use the same img src code as needed for the single post thumbnails (which is just a normal img src tag without the size parms for those who haven’t figured that out already), but how do you get the post excerpt itself in the featured sidebar in the first place?

BillyG -
Have you created a category titled “featured” and then marked the post under that category? I think that was all I did, but I may have forgotten something else I had to change first…

@Jason: Thanks! I didn’t read that ‘trick’ anywhere. I appreciate it!

I was waiting to diagnose your line count situation once I got the feature sidebar working on my site, but now that I, my short post has the same amount (5) in the center and in the featured section. If I find out, I’ll post it here. Thanks again. btw: where did you read that about the category name? TIA,

Hi

your theme is looking so beautiful . I have a free gadget blog and I think this theme suit to my gadget blogI “arunword.wordpress.com”.How can I use this theme. Is it posible that you include it in wordpress free template list?

HEYHO,

J have a problem. How can I switch to the full view of the similar articles. I want to see the full article at the mainpage, without clicking on every article.

I hope, you understand my poor english!

Great Theme! I’m looking for a tutorial, which show, how to create this wonderful vector icon @ header, yeah.

@oda, search in the index.php (in the theme-directory) –> “the_excerpt()” and replace that with “the_content()”.

Using this theme right now..I love it!!
thanks a lot!!

Hey great theme, please can you tell me how to get the thumbnail images working? How do I set the thumbnails in my post they they populate the home page automatically?

Great work, but…how can I change the link color in the post? I hate the underline and yellow background in all my links. If I can change it, tell me wich line is in the template, please.

Sorry for my english, I only want to change my link color :P

To create a left side Widget all u have to do is to add this in column-one.php :

I have a question .Is there a way to remove bullets from output (the once in widgets) ?

Can someone help me in adding an image to the post?

I read the readme file, but I can’t understand what “A normal post contains a custom field. The name of the custom field is “thumb”. When writing a post, create a custom field with a key of thumb and a value of the image path” means… Where is the THUMB FIELD?

Thank you all

Sorry i forgot to add the tags in my previous post.so the code that u have to add is the following:

<?php
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('extra-content-three') ) : ?>

I was using the Sociable plugin. The images for delicious etc got distorted. Obviously theres something automatically resizing the images in that Featured column? Is it simple enough to disable that feature?

And…
I use /%category%/%postname%/ for my permalinks. So should I just hard code those urls into the navigation.php. Is there a better way or a reason why I shouldn’t do that? I find the links were getting messed up otherwise.

I don’t like cartoons themes ,,, it’s look like children blog ,lOol .. But it’s nice ,,, I like your blogs so so so much ;)
Keep it up and heavy

I have make a drupal version of this good theme, see Link [drupalfun2.ziodrupal.net]. If someone want it send me an email to michel AT ziobuddalabs DOT it. I need to fix something before to release it to all.

I really like this theme, however…
“Quote” tag do NOT seem to work?
Is there solution for this?

Thanks

Hello,

I noticed in the comments above that users of this theme were discovering some trouble with posts in the “Featured” category on the left-hand side of the page when using the sociable plugin.

I’m having the same problem. Which is a shame, because the “featured” posts are typically your better posts with solid content that you want visitors to focus on, and it would be nice if visitors could share the content of these “better” posts socially to gain you some additional traffic.

Has anyone figured out a way to keep the little social plugin .pngs from stretching in the left-hand “featured” column? If so, I would love to hear from you.

If anybody could help me out for a quick second, that would be awesome.

For some reason, the bottom of each of my posts, before the footer, is misaligned. I’ve sat here looking through the css and php, and can’t find out where to make any type of edit.

Here is a link to one of my posts Link [www.themattbrown.com]

If you notice that at the bottom of the post under the comment box, that the “page fold” is about 20-30 pixels to high, and that the bg image starts to repeat itself. It also covers up my submit/video comment button. Any ideas would be great!?!?!?!

Thanks

Thanks,

For some reason the columns on the bottom do not expand when there are more then a certain amount of links and categories added. Anyone know how to fix it so the links do not stretch over the column boxes?

I am also having the same problem as Jay with the stretching of the links over the columns. Can anyone please help with this?

Hi Guys

If you get this error I have good news for you:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_mostcommented() in /home/www/legoguru.com/wp-content/themes/WordPressFun/extra-content-two.php on line 7

Go to the following site and download the plugin:

Link [www.wp-plugins-db.org]

and follow these instructions :

HOW TO INSTALL?

* Unzip archive into your plugins directory /wp-content/plugins then go to your Wordpress administration menu, and choose Plugins tab then activate the WP-Most Commented Posts plugin
* In your sidebar.php add these lines:

Most Commented Posts

* You can change the ammount of displayed posts by editing plugin and changing number in line eleven:

function get_mostcommented($limit = 10) {

where limit = 10 means number of posts.

hope this helps!

Hi

Some of my guests have problem with commenting.

They say, page slides up and they can not comment.

When they try to read the topic, they can’t go down the page, because it slides up

Is there any solution known ?

Thanks

Hi, I have the same problem that Mami (comment 239), I really appreciate some help!

I really like this theme but it would be so much better with a right sidebar. Can someone please post a writeup on how to implement a right sidebar with this theme? I need a place for adsense and widgets.

Hello!
Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I’v just started to learn this language ;)
See you!
Your, Raiul Baztepo

awesome looks, but a very restricted theme…readme says “You must have at least 5 categories & 5 comments for this theme to render correctly”…

for me, a theme should be very much flexible with the blog content so am not a fan of themes which rely on images and psd modifications…

Forgive for English language. How it is possible to alter css that navigation was displayed on the right, to make mirror display of a template.Navigation in this case interests, float:left does not leave.

Awesome theme. I’ve added it to my list of 11 best magazine style themes. Link [www.moonsaildesign.com]. Hope you get lots more downloads.

Thanks!

How do you enable widgets? THis is all the readme.txt says:

“8. The theme ca be used with or without widgets. You will find the content displayed in the following files (if you choose not to use widgets):”

Ok, so where is the step to use it WITH widgets? :)

Hello, I find that this template is really wonderful.
Hum..Can I adapt this to another support blog ? Like Pluxml.
And after can I release my modification on the Pluxml’s template gallery ?
Moreover a link would be present in the footer and the support’s link would re-aimed towards here.

I hope you have understood that I’ve write because I can’t write english very well =)
You can answer to me thanks to my e-mail^.
Thanks a lot!

Danke, habe mir das Template mal gesaugt und ein wenig abgeändert.

Vielen Dank
