Free Podcasting, Video and Photography WordPress Theme
(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.
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.
- demo
- large preview (.jpg)
- installation guide and documentation (.zip)
- download the theme (.zip, 2 Mb)
- download the PSD-source (.zip)
Requirements
- The GD library due to the custom written resizing script for the
splash images. - PHP 5
- PHP Allow URL fopen: ON
Features
- 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),
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- Choose the type of splash image for your media posts: sliding or static splash image. Do the same indepently for Category pages.
- 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.
- Subpages appear dynamically in sidebar when created
- Related posts: if there are any, appear in the single page sidebar. How many should appear is set by you from the theme options
- 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).
- Security: 2 common sense security precautions already hooked in just for you; hidden login page error feedback and hidden WordPress version number,
- Preventing Spam: a useful little function to deny Comment Posting to No Referrer Requests
- 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!
- …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.

August 22nd, 2009 5:25 amThank you, Sarah!
Gavin
August 22nd, 2009 5:37 amEspecially for smashing magazine????
I just bought this over at Themeforest?
Seems a little unfair?
Brian
August 22nd, 2009 5:41 amHeh, the color scheme would make it a great M*A*S*H multimedia blog. It’s a great looking theme, nice work Sarah.
@Gavin: Can you provide a link to the theme in question at ThemeForest?
Sarah
August 22nd, 2009 5:41 amGavin: 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.

August 22nd, 2009 7:23 amI’ve always admired your web work, Sarah, and it’s so generous of you to release a free version of such a great theme. Danke schön!
Gavin
August 22nd, 2009 7:37 amThe theme was not “especially” DESIGNED for SM, it was DESIGNED for and sold on Themeforest.
a VERSION (With fewer features) was then made available here.
chad
August 22nd, 2009 7:44 am@Gavin – what’s your point?
Gavin
August 22nd, 2009 7:51 amPoint?
Not designed especially for SM
Juliette
August 22nd, 2009 7:58 amI 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 amDont 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.
Smashing Editorial
August 22nd, 2009 10:10 amThe 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.
Russell
August 22nd, 2009 10:47 ampretty cheap looking
Luis
August 22nd, 2009 10:53 amI have a problem. I’ve installed the theme but it doesn’t seem to be working, as you can see
here>
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
Eliza
August 22nd, 2009 11:09 amI would probably be pissed if I purchased this theme without knowing a free version of it would be released here…
Thanks for releasing the theme though SM, your free resources are always appreciated.
doctaco
August 22nd, 2009 11:59 amThis 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.
Pity… it’s pretty
Floris Fiedeldij Dop
August 22nd, 2009 12:54 pmmeh, I am underwhelmed, and I do not like it. Too much ‘design’ for something that might look nice on paper, but in reality doesn’t really work. Sorry, better luck next time.
Minh Nguyen
August 22nd, 2009 1:10 pmI saw this theme on the ThemesForest and now Sarah and SM gave it out for free. Thank you you guys very much. I really like the theme.
Lucy van Pelt
August 22nd, 2009 2:55 pmThis theme is not playing nicely with Dreamhost at all!
“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”
“Warning: Division by zero”…
Anyone have any tips?
Rainer Bendig
August 22nd, 2009 3:07 pmYou should correct the filename of smashingMultiMedia_smapleData.xml :)
twe4ked
August 22nd, 2009 5:03 pmIsn’t releasing the ‘same’ (similar) theme thats already been sold on theme forrest against the terms and conditions?
J Themes
August 22nd, 2009 5:48 pmPretty sweet. I was just talking to someone yesterday that was needing a WP theme for some of their videos. :-)
Josh
August 22nd, 2009 8:57 pmGreat 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!
gr8pixel
August 22nd, 2009 8:58 pmsuper cool! :)
David Slone
August 22nd, 2009 10:42 pmThe theme looks amazing but that’s where it stops. There are many issues to fix, I think this is worth downloading the PSD but that’s it. This theme lacks good programming to make it useful.
Nino
August 22nd, 2009 10:54 pmReally very beautiful and useful.
Thank you.

August 23rd, 2009 3:05 amLike doctaco has said, I couldn’t get the rollovers on the front page to work.
aHaN
August 23rd, 2009 4:28 amI upload the theme but it seems not working!
niedakh
August 23rd, 2009 5:43 amI can’t seem to make podcasts work.I’m using the Podcasting plugin and the theme tells me no media was found.
Mark
August 23rd, 2009 6:44 amIf 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.
Thanks,
Mark

August 23rd, 2009 8:20 amwooooooooo its great
doctaco
August 23rd, 2009 10:42 amHas 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?
doctaco
August 23rd, 2009 12:16 pmHmmm, 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.
Mark
August 23rd, 2009 12:37 pmdoctaco 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 pmHA! 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.
Shibi Kannan
August 23rd, 2009 5:22 pmI 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.
Vic
August 23rd, 2009 5:44 pmI’m testing the theme. I find it slow when it loads up. Will someone confirm this experience on their servers?

August 23rd, 2009 6:28 pmI just can’t believe this is a free theme. Thanks for sharing the theme. and you can get more themes in my blog if you like
Dottie
August 23rd, 2009 10:22 pmlooks sweet, don’t know about the technical aspects though.
Martin
August 24th, 2009 4:00 amNot sure if I really like it. Seems a bit too much after all, although it is very beautifully built. Still looking for a slick, functional WP photoblog theme.
doctaco
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.
martin
August 24th, 2009 10:17 amok. installed it over wamp server and there is a problem with php tags. parts of code like are rendered literally (for example: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=&server=vimeo.com <- this is code is taken from ‘view page source’ window, not from php file).
i suppose i have to change all <?= to <?php echo … will retest it tomorrow
David
August 24th, 2009 10:20 amLove it except for the lightbox. Would really love to see a decent photo gallery in wordpress that functions like facebook and myspace photo galleries.. ie next photo loads in same page, clicking on image goes to next image. link back to albums.. Finding that has been like the holy grail.
martin
August 24th, 2009 10:33 amok. installed it over wamp server and there is a problem with php tags. parts of code are rendered literally.
i changed all <?= to <?php echo … and it works fine

August 24th, 2009 7:01 pmWhen I install, I get this:

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@japhygrant.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any help would be appreciated.
nlvq
August 25th, 2009 3:57 amI 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 :-)

August 25th, 2009 5:54 amI can get everything to work except the ratings. They appear but don’t respond to rollovers. There must be an include I haven’t found. If anyone has solved it, please post the fix. Thanks,
Mark

August 25th, 2009 5:56 amreally cool theme
doctaco
August 25th, 2009 8:13 am@mark, make sure you read the stuff in the documents folder.
You need to install and activate the ratings plugin and change the options based on what the author has in her screen shots, see the bottom of the help PDF.

September 27th, 2009 8:01 amJJ — 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!

September 28th, 2009 1:16 amthis 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

October 27th, 2009 3:32 pmfirst 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.

October 28th, 2009 2:04 pmThis 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.

November 13th, 2009 1:28 pmI 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.

December 6th, 2009 11:50 pmhi, has anyone tried to use the front page separator widget area…i’m assuming this is the same area where “Hello! Take a tour or go ahead and download the theme here. Yeah, it’s Free!” is written in the demo. I’d like to add the same are with different text obviously, to the front page, but i can’t seem to figure out how to do that. i’ve gone to the widget area on the dashboard and i’ve dragged the text widget into the front page separator widget area but nothing shows up on my page.
any help WOULD BE GREAT!!!! :-)
