“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.

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.

Wordpress Theme

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.

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.

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.”

    I had the same problem of the image thumbnails not showing on the magazeen theme, and here’s what i did to fix it:

    Create a /cache directory in the root of the theme folder, and set write perms to IUSR & Network Service (i’m running on Windows 2003/IIS 6)

    View the themes homepage rendered source html, and you will see one of the image tags source parameter makes a call out to a plugin called timthumb with the following code:

    img src=”[siteurl]/wp-content/themes/magazeen/timthumb.php?src=[siteurl]/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mypicture.jpg&w=521&h=246&zc=1″

    If i call that directly in a browser i can see the error message:

    GD Library Error: imagecreatetruecolor does not exist

    Preferred truecolor image functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor(), require GD2.

    By default, the extension php_gd2.dll was commented out in my php.ini, so i uncommented, restarted IIS and voila! the thumbnail images are now generating!

    Hope this helps someone!

    I’ve [found] only a bug: on comments, while in the dashboard there’s a given date, on the post it shows the same date time on all comments. Which the cause? Anyone else the same bug?

    For those of you having difficulty getting thumbnail images to show up, try this:
    Instead of placing the full URL (http://www.yoursite.com/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!

    Now to figure out the Featured News section!

    I love this theme! I am trying to get it working on WPMU.

    Note that if you if want the dynamic images to work with WPMU, the image urls need to be something like:
    myblog.example.com.com/wp-content/themes/magazeen/timthumb.php?src=wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2009/02/javajs.jpg&w=521&h=246&zc=1
    Where, 7 is the number of your blog.

    In the post form for the extra image, use : wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2009/02/javajs.jpg (for example)

    If you are only using this theme for a single blog, and feel comfortable hacking things:

    Add the following block of php to right below the get_document_root signature in wp-content/themes/magazeen/tinytim.php.

    if( @file_exists( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'wp-content/blogs.dir/7/' . $src ) ) {
    return $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'wp-content/blogs.dir/7/';
    }

    Hope that helps some. I’ll post more as i attempt to get this to work with WPMU.

    Problems Meet Solutions.

    Ok for everyone who is having the double picture post issue, where your thumbnails are being inserted into your posts as if you wanted them to automatically be.

    Instead of removing your inserted picture that is proportionate and perfectly placed.

    Go into:

    single.php and remove the following code:

    [sourcecode language='meebz']
    <a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “><img src=”/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=225&h=246&zc=1″ alt=”" />
    [/sourcecode]

    Go into index.php and remove the following code:

    [sourcecode language='meebz']
    <a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “><img src=”/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=521&h=246&zc=1″ alt=”" />
    [/sourcecode]

    And that’s that.

    Problems Meet Solutions 2.

    Everyone having issues with thumbnail pictures not appearing at the top, here’s a foolproof quick fix.

    Problem:
    In Magazeen Post Options you’ll notice your image uploads are going into wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nameoffile.jpg – but if you check that folder on your ftp it will still be empty. And the thumbnails are not showing up on your site.

    Solution:
    Manually upload your pictures to that folder. Make sure the file names match the nameoffile.jpg you uploaded under Magazeen Post Options.

    There you have it. Code Shmode.

    Hey Guys, first.. awesome job, thanks for sharing, always cool and quality stuffs.

    I’m using your theme in a friends blog,

    and everything works perfect, well, not everything, I’m having some troubles with the Dock, because when I hover on the thumbnails, it doesn’t show the title of the posta, and I’m getting really frustrated trying to figure it out. I checked all the comments here, to see if anyone had the same issue, but I guess none.

    And the drop down script is working, but not the one in the dock. I swear I didn’t change anything there (I think), just translate it.

    Maybe anyone could help me, or let me know where I have to check, cause I’m out of ideas… thanks…!! I’ll appreciate it. :)

    I mean, can’t I just put a link to the image somewhere on the internet?
    THANK YOU!!!

    Is there a way to make the thumbnails to be a link to another page, I mean, not on our upload folder.

    Wow – never seen these issues:
    1) I added the magazeen widgets, and now my wp-admin screen just shows the sidebar, not the widget edit tools. meaning i see the sidebar in my wp-admin screen, and the following error at the very bottom. I can’t de-activate the widgets bc the buttons are gone.

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/.instructor/boylogik/www.betatown.com/wp-content/themes/magazeen/functions.php on line 107

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:

    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

      That fix worked perfectly, makes sense to – the theme .js should be loaded after the WordPress head code.

      Awesome, and thanks for posting your fix here – sure beats the “disable plugins until it works” mentality :)

    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!!

    Hi there,

    How do you add pages? The navigation through the blog is a big difficult without pages i.e 1,2,3,4 etc

    Thanks! Great work!

    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.

    Hi,

    I had the same pagination problem as others who mentioned it here. I found a solution to the problem and the modified index.php file can be downloaded at my site through this blog post.

    Thanks so much for the theme.

    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?

    I am also having an issue with the comment dates – all comments use the date of the post regardless of the actual dates of the comments. I noticed that @Hahn did post a solution but the code he inserted in his comment does not appear. Does anyone have a fix for the comment-date issue?

    Thanks, and great theme!

    Great theme! Thanks for this.

    Maybe someone can help me with a little problem? Would be great. It seems that the jQuery Latest Image Showcase won’t work correct with Firefox 2.x.x.xx (checked with different versions) and IE 6.0. The text (post topic) will be showed over the thumbnail and not above.

    You can see this on the screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/magazeen-jquery

    This is a GREAT theme, but for some reason today it screwed up on me ( or — more likely — I screwed something up)! When I look for it in WordPress I can’t find it. Is the theme still available?

    Apologies if this is a dumb question, I’m a n00b.

    All those still having problems with thumbs not showing up…you need to download the latest version of timthumb.php. Download from Google code here..
    http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php
    Once replaced it should work just fine.

    Ethan said, almost 1 year ago:

    ///////////////////////////////

    For all those having problems with the thumbails (or any pictures at all displaying), you need to CHMOD the ‘cache’ directory in the Magazeen theme dirctory to make it writable, otherwise timthumb can’t create thumbnails.

    //////////////////////////////

    It works for me!

    Hi, I love the theme but I want to change the background colour. I’ve managed to do it for the bottom half of the theme but I can’t find the code area for the space under the header or the scrolling dock. Could you please let me know? It looks like there is an over riding top coat of colour & any changes I make are underneath.

    Thanks

    One of the best themes I’ve seen – but after viewing comments notice others like me having problems getting thumbs to display in the right hand bar and top of the site.
    Can someone offer a non techy answer. I have read the briefest of answers about CHMOD the ‘cache’ directory in the comments – but to those versed only in modest wordpressing – this isnt explained clearly and the comments assume other users have this knowledge – obviously they dont, as like me, they wouldnt be searching these comments if they knew. Google searching is very tech in the replies I’ve read too and WordPress’ site as confusing in the answer. Anyone feeling up for offering a clear, simple solution to solve the problem of thumbnails not showing?

    I thought 777 permissions had risks for hacking etc and were to be done with caution – perhaps I may be wrong?

    I’m sure, like a good few others on here, that someone out there could walk us through a simple solution to the missing thumbnails…

    Thanks in advance to all readers and those at Smashing Magazine for your help

    I’ve managed to solve both problems. Just in case someone is interested:

    - To reduce the vertical size of the black header I’ve changed in the Section 03 of the CSS the following:
    * In #header : I’ve change height:auto to height:98px (being 98 my desired new height).
    * In #searchform-header: I’ve changed the first value of margin to 38px (to keep the search box vertically centered)

    - To solve the problem with the extra space after the advert widget, I’ve removed the widget and put the adsense code directly in the sidebar.php file (I know, I know… but I’m in a hurry!!). :)

    That’s all, hope it helps. :)

    I love this template, so easy to customise,i just have two questions that it’d be great if anyone can help me with.

    1. How do i dictate the width of the image at the top of a new post?I want it to fill my left hand column.

    2. How do I make the padding less ABOVE the post content on a SINGLE POST page (not main page)? I’ve managed to make the padding 5px on the left/right of the post, but there’s a bigger gap at the top.

    Thanks everyone!
