“Magazeen”: Free Magazine-Look WordPress Theme

Advertisement

We love our readers. We respect the hard work of designers and developers across the globe. And we do our best to make the web design community stronger and the Web a little bit prettier. Therefore we ask talented artists and creative professionals to showcase their skills and release something unique and beautiful as a gift to the community. And when designers agree, truly impressive works see the light of day.

Release in Magazeen: Free Magazine-Look WordPress Theme

Today we are glad to release Magazeen — a free advanced Wordpress-theme in a magazine-llok created by the talented WeFunction Design Agency. This bold magazine 2-col-theme was designed with the main focus being on typography, grids and magazine-look. It was created especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.

Download the theme for free!

The theme is released under GPL. You can use it for all your projects for free and without any restrictions. Please link to this article if you would like to spread the word. You may modify the theme as you wish.

[Offtopic: by the way, did you already get your copy of the Smashing Book?]

Inspiration behind the design

As usual, here are some insights from the designers themselves:

“We’ve created the Magazeen theme to try and pump as much style and functionality into a WordPress theme to give people something they might not expect from their standard Wordpress theme. There really is very few limits to what WordPress handle, so we’ve built in a lot of custom features and options to give people a little taste of what is possible, and how some small functionality tweaks can make a huge difference to the overall experience of browsing a blog. On top of that we’ve wrapped all that functionality up in a really cool and modern theme, with nice big title fonts, and a stylish colour scheme.

The Magazeen theme is packed full of cool features to really encourage your readers to explore new posts and similar items. The first thing you might notice is the jQuery image showcase at the top, which is fully automated and will display the image from the latest post, and the title above it without you having to do anything other than define the image URL in the custom field we have created which will appear on in your admin post area.

Dropdown in Magazeen: Free Magazine-Look WordPress Theme

Drop-Down Menu

The other cool and fully automated feature is the related posts drop down effect. It’s a simple idea, if you click the category of the full posts a drop down will appear with some related posts from that category. And if you don’t see a post you like you can always view the full category by clicking view more.

Sidebar in Magazeen: Free Magazine-Look WordPress Theme

Sidebar

The sidebar area’s have been created to give you a lot of control over the featured posts, and recent posts. Once you’ve installed the theme, you need to go to your Widgets area, and simply activate the “Magazeen Latest Posts”, and “Magazeen Featured Posts” widgets. You can easily control how many posts each feature displays, and using this widget will ensure the area is styled correctly with the post image showing correctly.”

Thank you, guys. We appreciate your great work, your attention to details and the brilliance of the execution.

    hi guys,

    to show up the thumbnails, what custom field does it use?
    my precious theme uses thumbnails too, under the “Thumbnail” fields…
    the question is, how do I edit theme to match the custom fields with ones I’ve made before?

    ps: sorry for my bad english….I’m still learning :)

    Hey Guys, all I can say is wow! I’m using this theme and it’s incredible, I have four quick questions…

    1. Is there a way to keep the 4 square post snippets on the homepage (underneath the 2 main latest posts) consistent in size rather than fitting to content as it looks a bit messy?

    2. Where is the Code to change the colour of the comments counter in the top left of each post snippet.

    3. How do I change my horrendous avatar its on every site I post on?

    4. where can we donate some money for your hard work

    Thanks

    Chris

Thanks to everyone in the comments stream for solving everything for me :) If releasing updates, maybe a few simple instructions with it would be great? Or did I miss those.

    I have looked around your website for guidance, but I don’t see any. Am I missing something majorly important, like certain programs that will open these files?

    Does anyone know whether you can publish an article without the big image displaying, but for the thumbnail to still generate for the top and side navs? I’d like to do this for selected articles only, for example… if I embed a video, I don’t want a big image and a big video player displaying. But I do want the thumbnail for the article to appear in the Featured News panel. Thanks.

    I have to say that this is the best Wordpress theme yet. Well to me at least. The one problem I kept on having was the thumbnail image issue that a lot of people seem to be having. I think that the majority of the people that continue to have this issue might be doing what I kept on doing. I now feel dumb for doing it, but being new to Wordpress, I didn’t know better. Here is the wrong way I added the image. I would add the image to the body of the blog. As that turns out, that is not what you do. What you need to do instead is upload the photo to your site, using wordpress. Then get the URL for and then put that URL in the Magzeen Post Options. That took me hours to figure out. Sometimes we just try to make things more difficult than they have to be.

    Just one question though:

    How can I change the height of the images in the “post-image” class?
    Because once I add an image then it cuts off parts of the image.

    Any help appreciated :)

    I noticed that there were several people who had issues with the dock thumbnail rollovers not working properly. I had the exact same issue but only after I installed the WP-Slimbox2 plugin for viewing images within a post.

    I think it had something to do with both plugins using jquery and defining their own versions of the same js function. Check your rendered blog page source to see what other js code is referenced just prior to the code used for the Magazeen template. Either way, I was able to get the dock rollovers working again with a slight mod to the header.php file.

    Basically, I just put the Magazeen js references *after* the wp_head and it fixed the problem for me. I tried to paste the before and after code snippets in this comment, but that didn’t seem to work, so if you’re interested in the fix, just email me at dale[at]blitzedmag[dot]com and I’ll give it to you via email.

    I’ve tested the functionality of the WP-Slimbox2 and it still works fine after my slight mod. If you’re using other plugins or js code that are competing with the Magazeen js code, then your results may vary.

    Good luck. And thanks again to Smashing and Function for the great theme!

    Cheers,
    Dale

    Hi All,

    Having a super frustrating problem with my mod of this theme. I fixed it once but was silly and didn’t make a note of WHERE. D’oh!

    What I want to do is move the post content (the entire post) over to the left a little bit and maybe move the sidebar to the right. Problem is, I can’t find WHERE in the CSS allows me to do this. I’ve tried just about everything.

    If anyone can help, that would be GREAT.

    Thanks!!

    Great theme, thank you for making this available.

    To those who have noticed the issue where hovering over the Latest Articles thumbnails sometimes causes the text to overlap with the article names, there is an easy fix: Open the functions.js within the js directory and change the fadeIn value on line 19 from “1000″ to “100″. All this does is speed up the fadeIn animation of the text and solves the overlapping text issue.

    Also, I’m having a problem with a bunch of the default widgets not showing up. I can’t activate the following widgets: Archives, Links, Recent Posts (which I don’t care about because of Magazeen’s custom widget), and Recent Comments (which I certainly care about). These things are super important, and I hate to have to install some crazy other non-wp standard plugin to manage our simple blogroll. Any thoughts?

    Advice to all: download Firefox. Download Firebug (Tools – Add-ons – Get add-ons). Use the ‘Inspect Element’ feature to find the code you’re looking at, edit it, and then find those same lines in the css in wordpress. Simple, easy, great fix to anyone looking to change the colour theme, size of comment boxes, etc…

    Hope that helps someone!

    For anyone experiencing problems with getting the images to show up as thumbnails in the jquery showcase, featured posts etc…

    For some reason, jpeg is not a supported format (not open sourced?), bmp are too large, so gif and png images only. Give that a whirl.

    Also: has anyone found a solution to getting the titles to appear in the jquery showcase instead of ‘Check out the Latest Articles’ when you rollover them? It was working fine until I updated to WP 2.8. Thanks for any help!

    You need to download an image, not to insert in the article, but in the “image” when you write your article.
    If you do not have a picture, the thumbnail will have a problem !

But when it makes a thumbnail it automatically create a link to the blog post on my own website (as most people of course would like it)
    I have looked in the coding of the app but can´t find a good solution to this, does anybody have an idea on how to solve it?

    Is there possible to make image in post with original size?

  83. 340
    Comments Fix
    August 19th, 2009 5:18 am

    Yes its possible..

    To make an image in post its original size you need to open up the file ’single.php’ and find the following code:

    “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=225&h=246&zc=1″

    replace that with:

    “image_value”, true ); ?>&w= imagesx($image);&h= imagesy($image);&zc=1″

    I was all happy with myself for sussing that until I realised that there is still no fix for comment dates error which makes this theme almost useless. All comments added to a post show the wrong date (the date that the post was created)! Check out the themes demo and you’ll see this.

    Without a fix for that basic function, who would seriously want to use this theme??

    For people who still having problems with Dock Thumbnails i found a solution…

    Instead of using “TimThumb.php” I use “imgsize.php” Mike Lopez script (http://tech.mikelopez.info/2006/03/02/php-image-resize-script/)

    Upload imgsize.php in the template directory (where “TimThumb.php” was)

    Then, modify the line codes in the index.php, header.php to match with the new script syntax.

    FOR EXAMPLE… in “header.php” where you have:

    “<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=69&h=54&zc=1″ alt=”" />”

    you have to replace that with:

    “<img src=”/imgsize.php?w=69&h=54&img=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>” alt=”" />”

    You don’t have create a folder with CHMOD 777, it’s not necessary (i didn’t do it and it work fine, by the way i don’t know where image are saved on the fly jejeee)

    Guys,

    I have installed the theme and have almost got it to work perfectly while it’s FILLED with plugins! It took me a few days but now everything seems to be working except from 1 thing!

    The comments!!! Everytime I try to post a comment, I get to a blank page ++++ 2 comments that have been submitted and approved are not showing! Do you have ANY ideas as to how I can fix that? It’s such a small thing, but as you very well know, commenting on a blog post is a VERY important function so it has to be fixed or I won’t be able to use this theme! Please help.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a few questions though:

    1) how can I add an image in the header bit (in the black blank bit)?

    2) the comment date is always the same. the publish date will be august 1st for example, yet comment dates will always be the publishing date even if comment was made two weeks after. How can I fix this?

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Still having major issues with thumbnail linking at the top of the page and and the recent articles. I’m new to computers and a crap with programming. I’m had to google CHMOD and cache – to give you an example of the simple terms I need.

    tried removing “www.” to no avail.

    TO FIX THE COMMENT BUG READE PLEASE:

    1) open “functions.php”

    2) Search “the_time” and change it to “comment_date”… so now you have “comment_date(‘M j, Y’)”

    3) That’s it… comment bug fixed :D

    @luxladee: Regarding thumbnails on top: I had to delete the cache folder, manually create a new one and then set appropriate permissions (777). When created by the plugin/script, the cache folder won’t work on all servers, even with permissions set to 777. Some server security issue, mayhaps…?

    To get the dynamic titles to work, move the javascripts in header.php below the wp_head entry. I know this has been stated before, but thought I’d mention it again. Not sure if it has any side effects, though…

    @misterclem: I’m using this with WP 2.8.4, all working nicely.

    TO FIX DOCK TITTLE’s:

    This is my dock-javascript code that you can see working on my website (not finished 100% yet.. the link is on comment #355), this is inside “functions.js” file.
    This isn’t my entire javascriptn file of course, just the dock:


    $( function() {
    $( '.category' ).click( function() {
    $( this ).toggleClass( 'active' )
    $( this ).siblings( '.dropdown' ).toggle();
    $( this ).find( '.indicator' ).toggleClass( 'indicator-active' );
    return false;
    } );
    $( '#dock > li' ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
    $( '#dock > li' ).hover( function() {
    $( '.latest' ).stop().fadeOut( 'fast' );
    $( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeIn( 200 );
    $( this ).stop().css('opacity', 1);
    }).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
    $( this ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
    $( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeOut( 200 );
    } );
    $( '#dock' ).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
    $( '.latest' ).stop().fadeIn( 500 );
    } );
    });

    I’ve change the position of the tittles (under the post-images), I did it with CSS.
    I hope you fix it. Also, it’s rare, the first time I installed, all animations (included titles) work nice.

    @Deja: I know about this theme like 4 months ago, i’ve never seen a readme file…
    That is the reason of many message and comment making questions about theme functionalities and bugs…

    There is no readme file, be free to read the comments to know how to fix some theme issues…

    Hi thanks for this amazing wp theme!

    I downloaded the .psd sources thinking slices would be shown so that I can change colors easily and save the image files perfectly but it’s not the case.
    Could someone tell me how to save new theme image files from the psd source? which image file goes with which layer for instance? that would be neat! thanks!

    Anyone know how to do this?

    @Sophie: yes, there isn’t slices in .psd source file. Make your own images or edit the .psd and try to create slices that match with the original sliced images.
    If you look at my theme modification, i make my own images, i’ve just open the .psd just one time for fun, i’ve never edited it.

    @Kyle: what I’ve done in my website (in dock area, right side…the “fading” icon) is something like you want ? My website is http://www.demianvillanueva.com/blog/

    I seem to be having the same problem many are experiencing with the thumbnail images not displaying.

    I’ve gone through all of the comments and attempted all the fixes, but somehow it’s not working. (I swear I’ve aged 10 years trying to get this theme to work. LOL.)

    I tried using the imgsize.php, per #339, but this is what the code in my header says:

    <img src="/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=69&h=54&zc=1″ alt=”" />

    ps: there are no images in my cache folder. this is not supposed to be, right?

    Thanks.

    @Paul: yes, imgsize.php script doesn’t create or need a specific folder to resize images on the fly (that is what I see, i’ve asked to the author but i did’t recive an answer about that)

    If it help, my link/image code in dock are is:

    <a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “><img src="/imgsize.php?w=70&h=70&img=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>” alt=”" />

    Anyway, change “&” to “&”… “&” doesn’t validate…

    I’ve been using Magazeen successfully for several months but I’m suddenly getting the same error message as boylogik above (Feb 29)

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in ……./wp-content/themes/magazeen/functions.php on line 107

    I’ve disabled all plugins and still get the error so it’s not a plugin conflict. Anyone have any ideas? I’m using WP 2.8.4, but I’ve been using it for awhile and the problem only emerged today, so i doubt that’s the issue either.

    I tried a lot of things desperate to make the thumbnails start working(including the cache permissions), and then I tried the “workaround” that Philip Downer wrote and it worked perfect!

    –cut–
    For those of you having difficulty getting thumbnail images to show up, try this:
    Instead of placing the full URL (http://www.your.site/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg) use a relative URL that begins at the /wp-content/ directory. In otherwords, your new image URL would be /wp-content/uploads/image.jpg – I made this simple change and it works great!
    – /cut–

    Thanks! And thanks to Smashing and Function for a great theme!

    Can anyone help with this little tweak?

    I need a little help modding the Comments Tab, please.

    Here’s an image indicating what I mean:
    http://tinyurl.com/ycwg4kr

    Could someone point me in the right direction for the CSS on this?

    My email is kiki77 (at) comcast (dot) net — but I’ll be checking back on this page, also for any posted answers.

    I’m just not sure if it would it be a style.php + comments.php combo mod, or style.php only. I have this theme perfectly tweaked, other than this and I just don’t want to mess anything up.

    I’m familiar with CSS mods, but if you have the answer, the more specific the better and VERY appreciated.

    Thanks so much.

  146. 408

    October 9th, 2009 8:59 pm

    @Christina: to remove completely, just open style.css, find “.comment-count” and add “display:none;” to that class. The comment count will be not visible.

    Another way is to remove totally from the “.php” files, for example open index.php and find and delete “”

    You’ve to use a conditional PHP snippe to remove the tab when there are 0 comments; take a look at this, you could addapt it to your situation: http://is.gd/4b6TU

    Wow, seems like a lot of people are having problems with this theme. I have had my theme up for over a week now and it’s working fine. I did have some thumbnail issues but found the solutions in the comments on the developer’s site: wefunction.com

    But it is a fickle theme, and does not work with some plug-ins and widgets. You can see the theme in action here: Life Without Limits. Not sure if I will keep this theme though. It looks unique, but again I’m not too sure about the look and color.

    I wonder if anyone has come across this and can help me.

    I have implemented this theme on a linux server, and have even reinstalled it completely, trying to make the images work. If I upload an image using Wordpress, it will add the image to the cache folder.

    But when I try to view the blog, timthumb.php (and imgsize.php as per other posts) always look to the uploads/year/month folder for the images for the post, and for the header.

    For some reason, the images are not dynamically added to that folder, but they used to be…I believe that was on a Windows server… Is there something I need to do, or something I’ve missed that might make this not work?

    The document root path is home/SharedServerUsername/public_html from the server, whereas in the past it would have been just under the domain name folder. But I can’t find anywhere in any of the code that places the images into the uploads… folder that I can change…

    Can anyone help?

    I’ll answer my own question,

    You use the custom tag,
    image_value

    November 23rd, 2009 10:15 am

    @Wergittep: I have no idea… sorry

    @lee: yes, the custom field where you have to paste image url is “image_value”. Anyway, you have a field called “Magazeen Post Option / Image” between Custom Fields area and Post Text area, there is supose to paste the main image url…

    @Dexter: Open Index.php, then find “query_posts( ’showposts=2′ );” in line 16. The number “2″ is the number of post displayed full on front page.

    Then, find “query_posts( ’showposts=4&offset=2′ );” in line 102. The number “4″ is the number of post displayed as thumbnails below full post. The number “2″ is the offset ( this number is gonna be the same as in line 16 that I’ve mencioned before).

    Nice Theme. :-)

    I figured out the problem with the thumbnails on the first page. I think it depends on the uploaded image size. Images greater than (example) 3000×2000 doesn’t work. But pictures with the resolution of 1000×600 (example) work fine. Maybe there is a limit of maximun seizure. (perhaps 1024×768) ….

    And now i have an other problem. If you want to click and read an article, the picture on the single page won’t fit into the layout, its too big. (Check: resenski. de)

I’d like to do this for selected articles only, for example… if I embed a video, I don’t want a big image and a big video player displaying. But I do want the thumbnail for the article to appear in the Featured News panel. Thanks.

    Great theme.
    But why can’t I use the custom field/ thumbnail maker on Pages? I’ve got content that needs to be on pages and I would like to reuse the same mechanism and styles to get my thumbs to show up right on the pages. (default adding images in the text in this theme does not give me any margins or styles – the images even push out of the white content box if the page text isn’t long enough)

    I can grab the php from single.php and put it in the same place on page.php, but beyond that I don’t know enough PHP to customize the bit in functions.php where the custom write panel is defined so that it will apply to pages as well. Can someone walk me thru this? It seems like a little bit of effort that would make the theme that much more useful.

    Solution to thumbnail problem is easy. Here are the steps:

    Upload image – do this by going to dashboard – media – add new
    Then – find the file url (at the bottom of screen) – and copy it. Click save.
    Now go into your post and find the box MAGAZEEN POST OPTIONS. Paste the file url here.
    Publish file and JOB DONE.

    I am trying to work out a post rating plugin that wont effect the top preview flashplayer bar. Usually when you waver the mouse over these pictures in the bar it will show the name of the article, but when I install a post rating plugin, it seems to stop. Anyone recommend a compatible rating plugin?

    William

    Hi,
    First of all, thanks for such a great wordpress theme.
    However, I have a problem with main page customisation on my website http://www.darcva.com.
    Somehow, it doesn’t shorten the first 2 articles on the main page and displays them all (how to change it???).
    Secondly, why the dock function of displaying article’s name doesn’t work?

    thanks

      Darc Vanillar;
      to create a break in the post so it shows only a sample on your homepage, you need to click where you want the break and then click the icon above and add [Insert more tag]. Its located next to the quote icons.

      will

    Can anyone give me a few pointers?

    I’d like to make my header to an click-able image and to push the h1 text off screen. I’ve looked at sites doing the same with Magazeen using the Mozilla firebug plugin but I’m a complete beginner and cant work out where to begin – in the style.css or the header php? Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you so much for this theme. Installed easily and I’m sure it will work a treat when I know what I’m doing!

    Auto site – what do you mean by limit? It currently limits it to two?

    It be great if there was a Smashing magazine forum for all these questions.

    If people still have problems with the thumbnail photos, there is a easy fix for it.

    Download the new version of TimThumb PHP on this url:
    http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/

    And put it into your Magazeen folder.

        Do two things:

        In header.php, delete everything between
        the division tags for the logo.

        That clears out the auto text with your blog name and tagline. You MUST leave the division tags there though.

        Now upload your new header to the “images” folder in the magazeen theme, via FTP.

        In style.css, scroll down to section 3, “Header.”

        In the section called #logo, you’ll see a line that says background:url(images/header-shade.gif) and just replace the header-shade.gif with the name of your header.

        TIP: If you are working on a black background like the original header, the JPEG is probably fine. A transparent background is best, especially if you are changing your background color on the header, and for that I recommend a PNG.

    Hello
    Great theme, check out what I’ve done with it (www.citygeisha.com). However I have a question that I think most have asked themselves but have not posted on here (I have searched!!). When one clicks on a certain category, all the titles are then listed on the next page. I was wondering if there was a way whereby ALL of the posts, images etc, relating to the category are listed in one go, in scroll format? As opposed to just titles that users have to click on individually.
    Any ideas?? Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

    You just have to put the CHMOD permissions to 755 to:
    /cache
    /timthumb.php
    /uploads/
    And TA-DA!!!
    Thank you for this awesome theme, it really works!

    Hi, i’m trying to customize the homepage by adding a specific page (page_id=2) before the posts. I’m using a new loop to do this. The problem is that the page and the posts are not breaking… i mean… it shows me the full content instead of the text that is before the break line. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Ugh! I’m getting an error when I try to install it (Clean Wordpress install, latest version which is 2.9.2) .. which really is too bad because this looks pretty and easy enough to adjust to my needs.

    Is there a fix? Or can I just activate it and use it ‘broken’?

      What exactly did you edit in the header? I just scrolled through to find the “check out the latest articles” and changed the text (before ultimately deleting it) and it worked fine for me.

    Part of the jquery function in my blog has just stopped working. It did work before. I’d made a few edits to the APPEARANCE of the dock (just background colors), so to check if I’d screwed something up, I scrapped the Dock section from both stylesheet.css and header.php and just replaced them with the original downloaded files.

    Still doesn’t fix it.

    When I mouse over the images, the link name comes up in the pop-up but it does NOT come up at the top of the dock like it used to. It just always says “Latest Posts.”

    I tested it previously in Firefox, IE8 and Safari and it DID work. The funny thing is that it STILL works on my subdomain of the same blog.

    Anyone know how to make photo captions show up? I have text in the “caption” field in wordpress, but I can’t see it anywhere and I’m not sure where to edit the code. I only need it for the post itself (and not the thumbnails in the sidebar).

    hi i am using this fascinating template for my blog.. however,, i cannot fix the thumb and i do not really understand what to change in the timthumb.php as described by many..

    I would very delighted to have some helpe with this.. have a look at the site: http://www.visionarytraveller.com and you wil spot the problem..

    I have understood according to the other comments that something in this code structure should be modifed:

    // make sure cache dir exists
    if (!file_exists($cache_dir)) {
    // give 777 permissions so that developer can overwrite
    // files created by web server user
    mkdir($cache_dir);
    chmod($cache_dir, 0777);
    }

    show_cache_file ($cache_dir, $mime_type);

    but what is the question i am asking myself..

      I read again the TimThumb post, which says it requires the GD library, my PHP is 5.0 which means it’s already available, right? Sigh… I really have no idea is there any steps I missed.

    Great theme! I’m having trouble with the comments going to wp-comments-post.php when I click “Submit comment” and there is no such page, but I’m sure it’s something I’ve screwed up while tinkering.
