“Magazeen”: Free Magazine-Look WordPress Theme
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.

- download the PSD-sources (.zip, 4.5 Mb)
- release post on WeFunction.com
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.
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
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.”
Footer
Thank you, guys. We appreciate your great work, your attention to details and the brilliance of the execution.

November 2nd, 2009 9:07 pmI 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?

November 13th, 2009 3:20 amHi all,
What is the custom field you have to use in order to generate the image thumbnails in the post page. For the Lastest articles dock at the top.
Cheers.
lee
November 13th, 2009 6:44 amI’ll answer my own question,
You use the custom tag,
image_value
I ripped out the timthumb.php script. not needed if you can resize your own thumbnails. seemed to create too many problems.

November 21st, 2009 8:28 amCan you help me…
How do you limit the number of posts displayed on the blog page. Tried limiting it in the Admin panel…BUT it doesn’t work.
Need your urgent help as I am facing a deadline…
Is there a workaround in the coding?
dlv
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).

November 24th, 2009 9:53 amNice 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)

December 2nd, 2009 6:56 pmDoes 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.

December 9th, 2009 2:44 pmOkay,
For reasons best known to myself needed to reinstall this theme and now get others above keep getting the error message:
“Warning: file(/home/griffinm/public_html/antidote/wp-content/themes/magazeen-wordpress-theme/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/griffinm/public_html/antidote/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/griffinm/public_html/antidote/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180″
I realise that I’m possibly putting the PSD documents as an image somewhere but after much toying about don’t seem to be able to correct the error.
Thanks in advance for any help with this newbie(?) error …

December 14th, 2009 7:50 pmGreat 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.

December 18th, 2009 3:23 pmSolution 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.
Easy peasy :)

December 26th, 2009 6:04 pmGreat theme;-) — can’t believe it’s free!
I just started another blog — finally design one.
But I have a question : if I am adding my photos through media and they will appear as my thumbs as well, what should I do with the additional video image ?
Please, take a look at : http://martaspendowska.com/blog/
and the post : Drawing as a miraculous occurrence — Milton Glaser.
One can see an image of uploaded video and an image for thumbs as well.
Thank you for such a great theme — love it totally!

I want to insert a div with a bakcground, but after writting in in the CSS and putting the in the sidebar or somewhere else, the image doesn’t appear. It seems that it is something about the cache. What must I do with the cache folder?

February 2nd, 2010 1:45 amHi I have a small problem with this theme. I’ve changed the permalinks having set a static homepage – they now read victoriaanndesign.net/postname. Since I have done this the images in the latest articles section don’t link. Where can I change this in the code? I thought it would be simple but each time I think I’ve got the correct area to change it doesn’t work.
Any help would be appreciated!

February 4th, 2010 5:42 pmHey guys, love the theme, I am constantly trying to tweak it,
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?

February 8th, 2010 3:05 pmHi,
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

February 10th, 2010 6:16 amDarc 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.

February 11th, 2010 2:09 amCan 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!

February 12th, 2010 4:51 amIf 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:

And put it into your Magazeen folder.

February 23rd, 2010 2:22 pmI want to replace the header with my own. I have a jpeg file ready to go on, how do I do this?
Julie N'Guyen
March 31st, 2010 7:59 amHi Sanj
Just wondered if anyone has gotten back to Sanj regarding his question about creating your own header image? I’d like to do the same and put in an image and my own logo..Thanks!

Rebekah
June 5th, 2010 8:06 amDo 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.

February 24th, 2010 2:07 amFor me the thumbnail problem has been solved. Took me a while, but in the end all i needed to do was delete the cache directory, recreate it and chmod it to 777. Works like a charm now.

March 10th, 2010 7:21 pmI want to use an Aside posts plugin with this theme. I am using Asideshop plugin for that. But the aside posts are getting displayed twice. There seems to be no problem with the plugin template.
Any way to properly go about using Asides???????
Which Aside posts plugin would work flawlessly with Magazeen???
Thanks in advance!

March 29th, 2010 8:58 amHello
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.

March 29th, 2010 8:40 pmMight there be any updates (i.e extra features for this theme)? This was definitely one of the best and I am still using it.
Mbase
April 17th, 2010 1:33 pmFor all the people with the ‘thumbnail’ errors: try this.
Change the “cache”-directory to 777 (with CHMOD). It worked for me! (www.dutchbritneyfans.nl)
Billy
April 28th, 2010 9:50 pmHey Mbase,
How do you Change the “cache”-directory to 777 with CHMOD?
And also, Can we use this theme with the latest wordpress?
Julie N
April 21st, 2010 7:18 amHi
Just wondered if my query has been looked into and whether there is a solution to it? Surely I am not the only one that has wondered about the following??

April 27th, 2010 8:54 amI love this theme but would like to display more than just two results on the category/archive/search pages. Only the two most recent entries are displayed then you have to click ‘older entries’ to view more.

May 1st, 2010 10:12 amHi guys!! Look, me and my boyfriend have the solution for the *thumbs* :D
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!

May 29th, 2010 4:48 pmHi, 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?

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

June 15th, 2010 6:55 pmWhat 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.

June 5th, 2010 7:55 amPart 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.

Jimmy
June 23rd, 2010 12:25 pmhi 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..
Jimmy
June 24th, 2010 1:25 ami did succeed to overcome the problem.. i used this file..
http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/
and copied the codes from the below link to my timtthumb.php ..
http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php

Is there anyone could help me on this? I'll be very appreciate and thanks x 1000000 times!

Ceci
June 26th, 2010 10:48 amI 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.

August 6th, 2010 10:06 amHey guys,
I have finally figured out how to add page navigation to the Magazeen theme. Unfortunately pagination plug-ins don’t seem to work immediately so there’s a bit of code editing to do!
You can find the instructions here: http://www.marcvonbrockdorff.com/general/page-navigation-in-the-magazeen-wp-theme/
Thanks :)

August 23rd, 2010 11:32 pmHi all,
Thanks for this great theme, I’m using it on gepsegszalon.hu (a Hungarian language magazine on gadgets, mobiles and geek stuff).
I have changed the logo text to an image (thanks to Rebekah for the solution) but I’d like to make the logo clickable (so it could redirect to the main page).
Where and how should I include the a href code?
Also, there is another question. There are 6 post categories, and I’d like to put them into the header (just like they were pages). Is there any method to do this? (All that came into my mind is to link category search queries, like http://gepsegszalon.hu/?cat=369 – but they do look ugly)
Thanks in advance!

September 11th, 2010 9:33 pmCan you please clarify which version of the GPL the Magazeen theme is licensed under? The style.css file merely says that it licensed under the GPL, but does not say which version.
WordPress itself uses GPL v2, but this doesn’t necessarily apply to the Magazeen theme. Can I modify and distribute this under the terms of GPL version 2 ?

November 18th, 2010 5:21 pmHello! Love the theme and as a novice as guy, i’m finding it pretty easy to figure out.
Here’s my challenge;
I tried to copy the entire theme to another website I’m creating, and then modify it there (for the most part it will remain the same, just with a bit more detailed info). So I copied everything over via filezilla, then exported/imported pages, etc…
But… I my home.php won’t change. And… I can’t find anything still directing it to the old site? It’s must be hidden somewhere… just can’t find it.
Also, when I copied it I had a small results of blogs in the side bar;
This file created an error and I can’t figure it out.
Thanks for any help!!
