It’s a idea by Oliver Schlöbe of WPSeek, who created the WP Worldmap. Now it is possibel for you to see where you can find all those WordPress Users and Developers. Don’t forget to put your location and profile on the map. It’s easy to zoom and move around.
A new version of Comment Central is available. I’ve updated the theme with several changes. The main reason for this update is to improve the performance.
I’ve changed the background. Instead using a big .PNG file it’s now a small .JPG file with a repeat-x function. The circles in the right corner are a small transparent .PNG file. Also, I’ve downsized some other graphic parts of the theme. As a result the theme is less then 1MB and most important: it will load a lot quicker in your browser!
You can download the latest version from wordpress.org.
When you designing your own WordPress theme, it’s important to make sure the interface is natural and easy to use. Using icons along side navigation links is one key ingredient to achieving this. But Instead of creating icon sets from scratch, which can be time consuming, why not use icons that have already been created for you?
Here are some of the best icon sets out there for use in your design.
The default Kubrick template that comes with WordPress
is great straight out of the box. However, some people prefer to have their pages and posts laid out differently.
By default, the sidebar is located on the right side of the page rather than the left. The following tutorial explains how to easily move the sidebar from right to left.
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.
If you enjoy this theme or you have a question or comment, please leave a message.
The default size of an avatar in a wordpress theme is 32×32px, which is sometime’s a bit small. In my new theme design I want to change it to 60×60px instead.
In your theme, open the comments.php and look for the following code:
1 | <?php wp_list_comments(); ?> |
This simple line of code has a lot of options available. If you want to learn more about them, just have a look at the WordPress Codex pages. For now, we’ll just concentrate on the size of the avatar.
The way to change the default size is simply by adding some text inside the function, like this:
1 | <?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=60'); ?> |
It’s that simple!

I’ve received a lot of questions on how to remove “Archive” and “Categories” from the top menu. This is relative simple.
First log into your administrator panel. Then select the Editor in the left sidebar underneath Appearance. Next choose the file suckerfish.php in the right of your screen.
The file suckerfish.php is now in the editor field. Delete the next lines from this file:
That’s all!
