New WordPress theme

Today my new theme is approved by WordPress.org. I’m very pleased to see the theme on the first page of the free themes directory!

This time I’ve made a theme with a bit of a grunge look.  The background is a nice green wooden texture wich gives the theme a fresh look.  For Comment Central  I’ve used the Suckerfish dropdown menu.

You can see a example here.

If you enjoy this theme or you have a question or comment, please leave a message.

    Hi Frank…
    I really need your help.. whether it’s possible to enlarge the width of the content box to the right size? like 1cm wider… I know it’s possible, and I also know it’s all in CSS file, but the problem is that i am not a programmer :P
    Please advice.. and btw, I increased a link of the themebuilder.nl on our homepage as well, not only links exchange page..
    Thanks again..

  2. Simon says:

    yeah, that’s nice one.. Hope you could make it smaller.. less than 100kb will be better.. speed up the loading time.. or optimize some script or something..

    I added your link into our Links page..

    Good job!

    Love this theme!
    Wonder how I could remove the comment box from a static page but leave it on the posts?

    Thanks I had just figured that out!

    How do I change my header title. It now has the name of my site dot com and I want to change it. Thanks!

    Wow….aweseome. I love the green, wooden background and the whole structure of the template, but i would like to change the things around, like the “Bad Hotel….”-label to make it a little bit more personal. Is it ok if I do some changes (of course I dont delete the link in the footer)?

    On the Widgets, I activated the Text Links and put in links to social media sites – Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, YouTube. The icons/logos were uploaded and these links show up fine on all the main pages. However, on nested pages the icons/logos don’t appear for some reason – but the links work.

    Why are the images not appearing?

    Thanks.

    Great theme!!!!!
    Unlike most people here, I’d love to have Archives and Categories in the Top Navi, but somehow there’s only a very small green field where there should be the navigation…someone experienced the same problem or knows a solution???

    Hi Frank,

    Thank you very much for your fantastic theme. I love that it’s very professional looking but with a creative feel – you’re very talented!

    I hope you don’t mind but I changed the colour of the wood to brown to make it look like a shed which suits the feel of my website better and adapted the lettering on the tags.

    Thanks again!

    hey thanx su much for this theme…its completly awesome and stylish! i need to change a few things on the css..how do i come to do that??? (for ex i want to change the “sidebar” to the right side of the page)
    Thanx and cool job. Seriously!

  15. jeanny says:

    I love this theme but the only problem is that it doesn’t render correctly in IE6. The top menu misaligns and pushes everything further down the page. Seeing as a lot of people still use IE6, is there a CSS workaround available?
    Thanks for any help.

    Oops, don’t think my first question got posted—how do I replace the logo on upper left with an image (PNG image)? I notice right now in Firebug it’s an h1

  17. narvolicious says:

    Another question – how can I incorporate images into the category listing on the left nav? I was thinking of using small banners for each category instead of text. Let me know..thanks =)

  18. GC says:

    Hey great theme – how do I take out the about/archives/categories links altogether along with their background image?

  19. Luke says:

    Thanks for your theme. I changed some things, but I really relied heavily on your CSS sheet. Thanks

  20. Romeo says:

    I am using the comment central template, and I would like to remove “Archive” and “Categories” from the top menu. How do I do that?

    Thank you in advance,

    Great theme – good to see some creativity that still doesn’t lose sight of functionality! I have used it on my website – http://hydroponic-aeroponics.com/ – what do you think?

  22. From where did you get the ticket “Bad-Hotel Verenahof”. It’s a very antique hotel in my hometown. Funny to see it on your theme! (http://www.verenahof.ch/presse.html)

    • Frank says:

      Hi Claudio,

      I’ve collected some tags for my web design. One of them is the ticket from the Bad-Hotel Verenahof. I think I’ve found it with Google images….

    @ Stephanie and Gebrielle
    To get the categories and archives out of the top navigation you can edit the file suckerfish.php. Either delete or comment out the list items for Categories and Archives.

    @Frank
    If you could find a way to enable replies on comments I might help you out with your theme support here more often ;)

  24. Ronni says:

    Hi Frank,

    I seemed to have problems displaying the date. Could you help? Thanks.

  25. stephanie says:

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for the theme. It’s great. I only have a question. I don’t want archives and categories displayed by my pages. How can I delete that? and I rather not have the sentence: no comments on the upper right corner of my post, as same as ‘ uncategorized’ at the end of my post. How can I delete that? Thank you so much!

    Stephanie

    • Frank says:

      Hi Stephanie,

      If you like 2 customize the theme you have to dig into the code. For example: The comment no comment tag you can find in the index.php

      good luck

      Frank

  26. Ashley says:

    We’d love to work with you to customize this design slightly for our business. Could you email us to discuss! Thanks!!!

  27. gabrielle says:

    I want to get archives and categories out of the top navigation – how?? Can anyone help?

  28. Alojamax says:

    Thank you for this great theme. We have posted this theme to our blog. Thank you!

  29. Treasure says:

    I just love this! I customized the background images a bit (changing color and the back tag) but it still has the overall look and feel you produced. Very nice!

  30. Qing says:

    Thanks for the good work, is there any instructions on how to customize the theme?

    • Frank says:

      Hi Qing,

      There are no instructions on how you can customize my theme. If you want to change something and don’t now how, you can always ask.

      If you use Firefox try Firebug!

    Very cool theme. Is it possible to change the color from green to a natural wood color? Any issues with WP 2.9?

    • Frank says:

      Hi Joe,

      I’ve tested the theme with WP 2.9 and discovered no problems.

      At the moment it is not possible to change the color from the background. Unless you use Photoshop. Maybe i add the same function as in the Color3 theme in the near future. A brown background is then a possible option.

  33. IQ says:

    Thanks for this excellent WP theme. It’s just great – I’ll use it as soon as possible ;)

    Happy new year =)

  34. Alex says:

    Very nice piece, I would like to use it in my wp, Good work man!

  35. Marcus says:

    Another fine piece of work. It deserves the spot on page 1.
