Advertisement

(Update: 15/11/2009): the theme was updated.

In this post we are glad to release Smashing Multimedia, a unique, flexible and advanced WordPress theme for artists, photographers, podcasters, designers and users. The theme was designed by Sarah Neuber especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.

1 Promo in Free Podcasting, Video and Photography WordPress Theme

Download the theme for free!

Smashing Multimedia was designed especially for podcasters, photographers and users who can now easily embed videos and images, rate them and showcase them in their own WordPress-based blog. It has a parent theme and an easily customizable child theme. This Wordpress Theme comes with layered PSD source files, a visual help guide and is fully localized ready for you to translate it into your target language.

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

Theme-small in Free Podcasting, Video and Photography WordPress Theme

Requirements

  • The GD library due to the custom written resizing script for the
    splash images.
  • PHP 5
  • PHP Allow URL fopen: ON

Features

  1. Easy media embed method, with shortcodes in the post content area or use a media plugin of your choice (supported are YouTube, Vimeo, Google Video, Blip.tv, Veoh, Viddler and Revver),
  2. Feature any post, any category – the easy way – just make them sticky! Why restrict yourself to one featured category when you can have the freedom to pick and choose any post from any category to feature!
  3. Choose and put together your Site’s Main Navigation without touching the code in the template files. All available options are right there for you included in the Theme Options.
  4. Choose and put together your Site’s Category Navigation (appears in sidebar) without touching the code in the template files. Again, all available options are right there for you included in the Theme Options.
  5. Choose the type of splash image for your media posts: sliding or static splash image. Do the same indepently for Category pages.
  6. Choose the type of post teaser (the usual excerpt or text from the content) to appear on multible post pages and customize it’s word limit through theme options. The word limit can be adjusted independently for sticky (featured) posts or multimedia posts on the front page and on category pages.
  7. Subpages appear dynamically in sidebar when created
  8. Related posts: if there are any, appear in the single page sidebar. How many should appear is set by you from the theme options
  9. 8 Independent widget areas: front page seperator (1) just below the featured area, front page (1 – index), category(1), archive (1 – daily, monthly, yearly, author and tag archives share the same widgets), single (1), page (1), search (1), 404 (1).
  10. Security: 2 common sense security precautions already hooked in just for you; hidden login page error feedback and hidden WordPress version number,
  11. Preventing Spam: a useful little function to deny Comment Posting to No Referrer Requests
  12. Extra goodies: cformsII styles, wp-Pagenavi, wp-PostRatings, WP125: Easy 125×125 Ad Management For WordPress styles included, show your last tweet (shows on the front page and can be removed and replaced by any plugin of your choice so in other words you are not stuck with it if you don’t like it), Social share media, Feedburner Rss and Email, Follow on Twitter, “Give it a Tweet” call to action to your readers, styles for threaded comments (if enabled), seperated comments and trackbacks (appear in animated dropdown), styled admin comments, custom avatar image for when your users don’t have their own!
  13. …and even more features! (pdf)

Update (24/08/2009)

The problem with the js is fixed. It was the missing call to the wp_footer(); also, removed the js file that was not needed. Please make sure when you import the sample data that you check the “Download Attachments” when importing!

Everyone has their own opinion of what constitues a decent free WordPress Theme which I appreciate.

In view of that, you may not be particularly excited about the colour, font or other design choices ( including spelling ;) ) and you may decide, as some of you have already done so, to express this in your comments below.

While you do so, it is my sincere wish that some of you may take a moment and appreciate the effort that went into things like: the Theme Options, the custom write panels, the custom video shortcodes, that if I may add output valid html code, and the time taken to write and comment out, what I believe is, decent html/css code.”

Thank you very much, Sarah! We really appreciate your efforts.

Vitaly Friedman, editor-in-chief of Smashing Magazine (www.smashingmagazine.com), an online magazine dedicated to designers and developers.

    @Gavin: Can you provide a link to the theme in question at ThemeForest?

    Sarah
    August 22nd, 2009 5:41 am

    Gavin: Please note the reduced features on this one! Look for them in the features.pdf (click on “Take a tour” on the demo)

    The 2 themes are not the same. Therefore the release here on Smashing Mag. is especially for the smashing magazine readers. Plus the free version comes without any support except the help file

    Brian: the link to Multimedia theme on Theme Forest can be found on my site.

    a VERSION (With fewer features) was then made available here.

    I can see Gavin’s point. All of the other releases were specifically for SM (…I think. I really haven’t looked into it.) but this seems more like an afterthought release; I’d also be a little irritated too if I purchased something and then a few days later it’s released free “especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.”

    Gavin
    August 22nd, 2009 9:20 am

    Dont get me wrong, this is a GREAT 5 star theme! Even without some of the features and support (Which has been 5 star to).

    Just would have been nice to know this was going to be released, so I could have played around with it and then probably bought it, as I have been talking to Sarah (The author).

    And to see it was designed especially for SM, the author must have known it was going to come out now and could have told me.

    The theme was designed specifically for Smashing Magazine from the very beginning – we’ve set the requirements and ideas for the theme. As far as I can see, an advanced version of the theme is being sold on Themeforest.

    This theme looks great, but no amount of fiddling with it get it to actually work.
    the demo data all shows up, but no navigation on featured posts work nor do any of the rollovers for the images on the front page.

    “Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference”
    “Warning: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration…”
    “failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found”

    Anyone have any tips?

    Great theme! Although I would recommend doing another proof-read. Quite a few typos, and the manual (help.pdf) was pretty sparse and the sample data had a few typos in the “Splash Media Images” so I had to do some fixings in here. All in all I would give this 5 stars regardless!

    If anyone can get the rollovers to work, please post the fix. I’ve reloaded the theme twice and done a clean install of all the plugins. My stylesheet matches the demo exactly so there must be some option I haven’t properly set.

    Has anyone been able to install and get this theme to actually function?
    I just registered a fresh domain, did a completely fresh WP install and installed the theme and sample data following the directions to the letter.
    Still have same issues of no roll overs and no navigation between the featured posts.

    I did send a note to the dev with a link and the issues, but don’t know how much support we will get since it’s a free theme. If anyone has it functioning properly can you post up a link and any changes you made to get it to function?

  41. 41
    doctaco
    August 23rd, 2009 12:16 pm

    Hmmm, I can’t seem to post the fix here, but I figured it out.
    There are several javascript includes that the author has in footer.php on her demo that are not included in the downloaded theme.
    I tried to post the relevant code here, but SM didn’t seem to like it. Just check out the demo and look for all the JS includes after the link back to the authors site, change the domain to your own and everything will start to work.

    edit: she has an include for slideshow.js which doesn’t seem to exist, add that one out, and there is no reason that I can find that this code can’t go in the header, that’s where I just moved it and it improved loading.

  42. 42
    Mark
    August 23rd, 2009 12:37 pm

    doctaco is a genius!!! His fix of copying the js includes in the demo footer source did the trick. Now it works like a charm, rollovers and all. I was almost ready to buy a $59 alternative. Thanks doctaco!
    Mark

    doctaco
    August 23rd, 2009 1:29 pm

    HA! Glad that helped out Mark. All I did was go through the source of the demo and the source of my server with diff. Took a while since they are not exactly the same because of the plugins etc, but it was pretty obvious once I got to the very bottom of the page! Wish I had started there and worked backwards ;)

    It’s a pretty sweet theme I tell ya. I really like the look of the paid version, because I want to do some traditional blogging as well and it has support for a few other things that I would dig (like big footers) but I’m going to see what I can do with this one, because it is pretty slick. Props to the author for the theme for sure.
    Shame on her and smashingmagazine for not doing any QA on the release they put out though, this would have been pretty easy to catch before publishing if someone had just done a clean install.

    I can see the idea of cross selling your Themeforest theme by releasing a simpler modified version through SM. I don’t see anything wrong with this approach except that SM readers are offended that the author already has this theme for sale at Themeforest. I would suggest that SM can come up with some strict guidelines on its theme releases so that we can prevent such cross selling hacks. Normally we expect no parallels for SM theme releases and hope to see more such great themes continually being released through SM that are not found anywhere else except for SM. That would be nice. But since Wordpress is GPL any author can technically provide the theme on GPL license anywhere on the web including the wordpress.org theme directory. Themeforest is clever by circumventing this GPL issue by stating in a separate license agreement that only the wordpress code is GPL but all other things like CSS, JS, Images etc that are created by the theme author are commercial licensed and so you have to pay for it. Well it is a long standing debate and so far no clear skies ahead.

    August 24th, 2009 6:47 am

    @vic it’s pretty slow when it loads with all the test data, video’s from vimeo etc and I think a few of the images end up getting pulled from the authors site (or at least they are referenced there instead of locally in the post data).
    If you clean up the posts data it will load much faster.

    Also make sure you’ve fixed the missing javascripts issue (and only included the ones in use) this can have an appreciable affect on load time.

    I think the theme is ok and id give it 4/5 – The problems about rollovers etc are easy to fix and Im grateful for a elegant theme available for free via smashingmagazine.

    If this was for sale at ThemeForest before so what?

    If you bought it on that site apparently it has a few more features than this free version.

    It seems people are forgetting that smashingmagazine doesn’t have to give anything away for free its a privilege not a requirement.

    Saying that I have no use for this theme :-)

    Thankyou so much for this theme!

    As a designer/coder myself I know what kind of work goes into designing and developing a wordpress theme.

    It’s amazing! Great features and layout.

    hi, i like this theme, looks pretty great but as i’m testing it seems that the footer does not load on category pages,tag pages and search pages. On the demo it’s ok, i followed the install instructions and haven’t made any changes to any files, so i’m stuck… can anyone help? thanks.

    JJ — here’s the fix for the “Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in…/functions.php”

    Original Code
    $comments_by_type = &separate_comments(get_comments(’post_id=’ . $id));

    Replace to:

    $get_comments= get_comments(’post_id=’ . $id);
    $comments_by_type = &separate_comments($get_comments);

    Hope this helps!

    this theme looks nice but it’s has 2 critical points:

    1. a case with Gavin it’s unfair – you need to change bitween selling the theme and spreading this one for free….

    2. this theme is difficult to setup as compared with other free themes so the lack of any suppport (even here in comments) looks like bad idea

    first of all I want to congratulate you on a great theme.

    I am curious, can’t you make several child themes with different color styles?

    For example make 1 black, 1 blue, etc……

    Thank you.

    This theme may look great but the theme is a mess. I am disappointed at SMG for allowing this to be a freebie!

    Honestly, by not fixing the huge amount of problems with this theme, your degrading yourself.

    People are gonna see this freebie, see how messed up it is and chances they want to buy anything from you is low.

    I think it could become one of the nominated theme for my new photography blog.

    I like the lay-out.

    I know people are upset that the theme did not work for all as expected.

    I truly apologize for this and I want to let everyone know that I have just handed over an updated version of the theme to SM. I would have liked to have done it sooner however I did not manage for whole lot of reasons.

    Point is, I am truly very sorry that many were dissapointed but I know the update will make up for it.

    There are some requirements though for the theme to run so please check the features.psd to make sure your host meets them!

    I’m sure SM will somehow make sure that when the update is up, it will be noted visibly somewhere in the post so you’ll know you get the update and not the old version.
