StudioPress WordPress Theme Released

We have another WordPress theme ready to go. StudioPress is a very clean theme, and it comes with the possibility to integrate several AdSense units.

Here are some of the features of the theme:

AdSense-ready: The theme comes with three units integrated already. A 468×60 unit on top, a 336×280 unit on top of the sidebar and a 120×600 unit on the bottom of the sidebar. You just need to copy & paste the AdSense code on the specific php files.
Widget-ready: The theme supports widgets, so just drop the ones you use.
Comment styling: Comments alternate with a different background, making it easier to follow the conversation.
“Welcome” section on the sidebar: You can customize a “Welcome” or “About us” message easily through the form on the “Theme Options.”
Search Engine Optimization: The theme comes with title tags optimized, and it already displays only excerpts on archive and category pages, to reduce the duplicate content.

If you have any problem using the theme or any suggestion for improvements just leave a comment below and we’ll try to help.

There isn’t a display for ‘# Comments’ or ‘No comments’ in the post meta?

Overall, it looks like a promising theme. Going to download it.
Daniel on February 5th, 2008 3:32 am

Right now it does not, but should be easy to add that.

Give me a bit :).
Daniel on February 5th, 2008 3:52 am

OK, comment count is added.

I am thinking about moving the whole post meta below the post though.

Although it should be easy enough for anyone to do it if they want to.
Dj Flush on February 5th, 2008 5:05 am

Impressed Daniel!

Great theme
NasirJumani on February 5th, 2008 5:09 am

WAOOOOO!!!
It is the theme I was looking for…..Brilliant job Daniel and dailyblogtips team……….keep it up.
Zuffox on February 5th, 2008 6:07 am

Damn, you guys are good. Consistently adding - not just great but plain - awesome designs.
Fat Kid Unleashed on February 5th, 2008 6:38 am

Amazing theme, Daniel. It looks very premium and professional. Great ad placements too.
Steven Finch on February 5th, 2008 7:53 am

This is a pretty good design. I really need something like this for my site, http://crenk.com. But with a few changes.
Jammed: Full into Capacity on February 5th, 2008 8:09 am

Hey! Very clean theme. Going to use it in one of my blogs.
Jacky on February 5th, 2008 9:00 am

I like this theme. ^.^
Wayne Liew on February 5th, 2008 11:11 am

Another nice theme from you, Daniel. It is a space allocated for ad panels that I like about this theme.
oci on February 5th, 2008 12:14 pm

Another great job, Daniel!

You can take a peep at one of my blogs

http://www.thestreetwiseone.com

I am loving it, thanks to you.

Another blog of mine will wear the Studio press look soon.

Thanks guys.
Daniel on February 5th, 2008 12:48 pm

Looking good oci, thanks for the nice words.
Craig on February 5th, 2008 12:59 pm

Hey Daniel - Great Theme! Is there a way we can add a clickable image / logo in the header?
Daniel on February 5th, 2008 2:41 pm

Craig, yeah that is possible, although you would need to make it match the background image of the theme.

Basically you would need to create the image first, remove the blog name text, and add the image there, with proper CSS to position it on the right place.
icy1 on February 5th, 2008 5:03 pm

I like the idea of moving the whole post meta below the post.

however I seem to always screw it up when I try this alteration. Any tips?

Outstanding theme
Michael Aulia on February 5th, 2008 6:24 pm

Wow, it’s indeed a very nice theme!

I’m thinking to change my theme now to this..but I’ve already put so many customizations on my current one
Andy MacDonald on February 5th, 2008 6:52 pm

What a cool theme. i downloaded it and am going to use it on my blog. thanks a lot. Is there any restrictions on how you can modify the theme at all?
Patrick on February 5th, 2008 7:37 pm

Awesome theme! This has the look and feel of a custom design. Very nice.
Jermayn Parker on February 5th, 2008 8:19 pm

Very nice!!
promising indeed!!!
Daniel on February 6th, 2008 1:18 am

Andy, feel free to modify it as will as long as it is for your personal use.
Anuj Seth on February 6th, 2008 8:02 am

A nice and clean theme. Very impressive!
Madhur Kapoor on February 6th, 2008 10:14 am

It looks great. I am going to download it right now.
redwall_hp on February 6th, 2008 10:49 am

Please stop making these cool themes! I don’t have any blogs to use them for, as I generally make my own designs, and I’m not going to change my personal blog’s theme every month. /joke
Showbiz Intriga? Get It From Boy! on February 7th, 2008 12:15 am

i’m going to use this too in my url above/great demo for this theme (shameless plug)..lol..

jaypeeonline says that this theme does not display correctly in Opera though..but who uses Opera??! ok..maybe some of you…
Daniel on February 7th, 2008 5:11 am

It should be Opera compatible, but I will cross check.

If you find any bug just let us know and we’ll fix it promptly.
Showbiz Intriga? Get It From Boy! on February 7th, 2008 5:27 am

hi Daniel.

i’m using this theme right now and it is displaying weird. My layout is f%#ked up. i didn’t alter anything.

But i’m using a lot of plugins though. My suspect is WP-Cache though because when i looked at my Cpanel, in the WP Cache cache, i looked to a link and it pointed me to a fould out layout.
Daniel on February 7th, 2008 5:42 am

Showbiz, it is your site that is messing the theme.

I just tested it using browsershots.org on over 20 different browsers, and it is working fine in all.

You can see it in opera here:

Maxio on February 7th, 2008 8:25 am

Hello,

Thanks for this theme i know use it for my blog http://maxio.Fr .

But can we get the .psd of grabrss.gif because my visitors are french so i would like to change this.

Thanks
Daniel on February 7th, 2008 9:29 am

Maxio, sent the PSD over email to you.

If anyone else need to translate the theme let me know and I will send the psd.
JJ on February 7th, 2008 12:11 pm

Awesome theme! Had a question though… I have been finding it very difficult to edit the code for the menu (header.php)in order to display only certain pages. I’ve tried a variety of different code but nothing seems to work. Any idea on what I could do?

Thanks again for an awesome theme!
Daniel on February 7th, 2008 1:15 pm

JJ, first locate this class inside the header.php

<div id=”nav”>

Then locate the <ul></ul> section inside that class.

Then you just need to delete the code there and add your own links using <li> </li>

I am not sure how this will affect the hover effect though.
WebProffy on February 7th, 2008 1:34 pm

Daniel, theme’s superb!

But there are no graphic psd-sources for:

1) grabrss.gif
2) search.gif

I’m from Russia and need to have a russian text there…

Can you make these psd-sources?
JJ on February 7th, 2008 1:42 pm

Yea… that fubars the hover effect. It just puts a text link there. Hmmmm… Ill keep trying. Thanks anyways!
himi on February 9th, 2008 3:40 am

This is a very nice looking theme! I’m thinking of upgrading one of my blogs and could use this one.
terra on February 9th, 2008 3:53 pm

I apologize in advance, but came upon this theme, uploaded it promptly and am now trying to make changes as needed to the welcome and ad sense units. Changes fine in the WP dashboard, but doesn’t display when I reload the page…what am I missing, please?
luffy on February 10th, 2008 8:37 pm

i like this, but would like to know whether will you release this in different colors? that will make the theme more unique and please a lot of people.
PB on February 11th, 2008 7:55 pm

Daniel

I’m new to blogging and just downloaded your theme. However, I’m not that versed in Wordpress, so when I tried to copy and paste my adsense code on the each specific adsense php file, the code is displaying on the blog. Is that suppose to occur?

Thanks,

PB
Daniel on February 12th, 2008 12:18 am

@WebProffy, send me an email and I will send them to you.

@Terra, make sure your cache is not turned on, use crtl+F5 on your browser to clean it.

@luffy, 3 more colors are coming.

@PB, you need to paste the whole adsense code below the lines that are already there (not within the lines).

This should fix the problem.
luffy on February 12th, 2008 9:01 pm

Thanks Daniel, I’m looking forward to it.

I saw some site that has a section that integrates a few tabs together and the content change when they click on the tabs. any idea how to do that? i saw some samples of this from some of your links to a premium theme sites.
Ludwik C. Siadlak on February 13th, 2008 3:22 am

Great theme - good job, Daniel!

What’s the license? I haven’t found it in *.zip.

Warm regards
Ludwik
Voice Of Dingchao on February 13th, 2008 10:04 pm

thank you very much, i have tried it in my blog http://www.seocome.com. It looks great!

Thanks again!
pb on February 15th, 2008 3:29 pm

Daniel,

I was able to get the adsense images working properly, thanks for the tip. One more thing, when I click on individual post I get a error that states “Fatal error:Call to undefined function the_tags() in /home/moolahmo/public_html/wpcontent/themes/StudioPress/single.php on line 20

Do have any input on this? Thanks again.
Daniel on February 16th, 2008 4:29 am

Check what is on line 20 of your single.php file. It should be the code for tags, and maybe your WP version does not have that.

Delete that line and the problem should be solved.
dombio on February 21st, 2008 7:46 am

Thank you for the theme, it looks great!
I’ve updated my blog with it and now I’m planning some personalizations…
Jagermo on February 21st, 2008 12:41 pm

Hey guys, great theme. I’m currently translating it to german. Could you send me the PSD-Files for
commentbutton.gif
grabrss.gif and
search.gif?

Would be great, thanks.

You can vote for StudioPress on wpthemez, a digg-like site for WordPress themes.
Eric Smith on February 27th, 2008 8:59 pm

Any way to change the header php to only display pages w/out a parent (main) in the NAV bar? I’ve got a lot of pages and the NAV bar looks pretty cracked out. I’d like to only show my primary pages in the NAV bar and not worry about all the sub-pages showing up as well.
Daniel on February 28th, 2008 1:34 am

Eric, remove the code there and add the links to each page manually.
nicejob on February 28th, 2008 6:54 am

Hello daniel

Thanks for your work

We have the right to try to adapt this template for dotclear?

Thank you for your answer
Daniel on February 28th, 2008 7:04 am

@nicejob, you can adapt as long as you credit us.
nicejob on February 28th, 2008 7:38 am

Sorry but I does not understand well your answer
you say “as long as crédit us”
you talk about money or of not to remove the links and copyright of the author??
Thank you again for your answer.
nicejob on February 28th, 2008 9:32 am

OOpss!!

I hope to say –> “lol”!

thx Daniel and good job again
Cesar on February 28th, 2008 11:14 pm

Hey Daniel what i have to say might be kind of complicated but try to understand me. Ok here I go. :

I am using this theme with my domain. And am trying to create at least 9 static pages, you know. I don’t like that everytime that I create a new page, a new tap comes up on top of the design. I am using the WIDGET CALLED PAGES so that I can have all the pages on the side bar under Technology Articles. The only taps that I want to have are News, About, and maybe one more. But that’s it. How can I make it work to the point that everytime that I creat a page I can only put in the side bar and it does not come up on the top, as a new tap.

Hope you can help me with that men I really love this design.
Sridhar Katakam on February 29th, 2008 6:10 am

@Cesar: What you need is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

@Daniel: Thanks for the theme. I am using it at http://www.webtechdaily.com/

One suggestion: get_links function in sidebar.php is deprecated. wp_list_bookmarks() should be used instead.
Cesar on February 29th, 2008 10:11 am

hey Daniel and Sridhar Katakam i just download and activate the plugin you guys told me to do but still, everytime that i create one page, it automatically creates a new tap on the top. i am trying to keep it simple on the top, if you take a look right now that looks ugly with all that on the tabs.
Hope to hear from you soon. thank.s
Cesar on February 29th, 2008 11:02 am

I also noticed that the plugin works because it excludes the pages from the side bar that i created that is called PAGINAS. I still can manage to avoid everypage created to appear in the top of the desing. HELLLLLPPPP!!!!!>…… that is killing me.
Daniel on February 29th, 2008 1:14 pm

Cesar, can’t you do that manually with some HTML?
Cesar on February 29th, 2008 7:33 pm

Daniel if i could i would have already done it. can you let me know where ? in what line,,,,,, i have tried differents times and can’t get any thing. If you could tell me where and what tag to modigy….i am not really good at that but i know that if you guide me a little bit i can handdle it.
Sridhar Katakam on February 29th, 2008 7:44 pm

Ceaser: The code that displays the tabs at the top is in header.php from line 42 to line 77.
Tim Weston on February 29th, 2008 8:01 pm

Great theme! I’ve implemented it on my web site and noticed that in the footer, the link to DailyBlogTips was missing the closing anchor tag. Without it, the page doesn’t validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Cesar on February 29th, 2008 8:07 pm

function list_all_pages(){

$all_pages = get_the_pa_ges ();
foreach ($all_pages as $thats_all){
$the_page_id = $thats_all->ID;

if (is_page($the_page_id)) {
$addclass = ‘ class=”current_page”‘;
} else {
$addclass = ”;
}
$output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;
}

return $output;
}
?>

Home“;
echo list_all_pages();?>

This is what you are talking about but i try to change the function that shows all the pages and i mess up the page.
Paul on March 1st, 2008 11:30 am

I’m having the same problem as Cesar, in trying to exclude certain pages from the nav bar.

Here is how WordPress recommends:
http://codex.wordpress.org/wp_....._from_List

But the coding you use is not like that and is unlike any I have seen before, so I can’t figure out how to accomplish this.

Any suggestions on how to take the “WP official” code and convert it to what you used?

This is a great theme and I’d love to be able to keep using it, if I just figure out this one thing.

Thanks!
Paul
Nisha on March 1st, 2008 2:08 pm

please please help me as soon as possible…

How to add that read more option like http://crenk.com./ this website.

please tell me in detail….
Cesar on March 2nd, 2008 12:13 pm

Nisha when you are creating the post you clikc on the icon that looks like a page broken in have. you have to put the coursor where ever you want the text to stop and say READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY> ,
Cesar on March 2nd, 2008 12:16 pm

OK guys, last question. What i am doing to sxclude the pages from the top is this, i create pages and set them up as a private, then i created a blogroll NAMED Tecnological Articles, of course i have it in spanish but there i created links to this private pages i created.
My big concern is, are this pages going to be indexed by the search engines or because they are private the search engines do’t see them?

Hi Cesar,

thanks for your reply.

And I visited your website, its very nice and I also have decided to use the same theme.
And I have some problem in using it…..

Just read the comment of Mr.SATISH
and I too have some of the same problems…

1)Please open this link http://technotip.org/index.php/category/orkut/
using FireFox…..in the second post, the urls and the contents moves out of the boundry….please tell me who can I fix it.

3) And at the top of the theme I want to add Email subscribing option, beside RSS Feed.

I am using a plugin called [red]custom-function-widgets[/red], so please tell me, how can I put the email subscription in a box in my sidebar..

4)And please tell me the way to integrate the forum into the theme.I am using bbpress. I want to integrate it like that of in http://www.labnol.org/forums

I just want to get username and password entering fields in a different box in the sidebar.

Thanks in advance!

Actually I got many doubts after reading his comments….
Cesar on March 3rd, 2008 2:16 pm

Hey NISHA it nice to hear from you. I have not figure out my problem with the TABS. If you could see on my comments. Anyways I don’t know much about this but I will try.

And I visited your website, its very nice and I also have decided to use the same theme.
And I have some problem in using it…..

Just read the comment of Mr.SATISH
and I too have some of the same problems…

1)Please open this link http://technotip.org/index.php/category/orkut/
using FireFox…..in the second post, the urls and the contents moves out of the boundry….please tell me who can I fix it.
I believe that you probably inserted something on the coding, and therefore you get that error, If I were you I will go to the zip file where the theme is and open it in note pad, get that code and then go and open the theme editor and paste that code over the one you have, you should correct the problem with that. It pretty much seems to me that you put some code in……

3) And at the top of the theme I want to add Email subscribing option, beside RSS Feed.

I don’t really know about this one. I will think that there should be a plugin about this. If you go to the images floder you can see the GRAB OUR RSS image, you can modify it if you know about that and include that on the top of the page. I believe you should know little bit about coding.,…..

I am using a plugin called [red]custom-function-widgets[/red], so please tell me, how can I put the email subscription in a box in my sidebar..

you should try another rplugin I bet there should be one that allows you to do that.

4)And please tell me the way to integrate the forum into the theme. I am using bbpress. I want to integrate it like that of in http://www.labnol.org/forums
I have not try this so, don’t know much about it.

I just want to get username and password entering fields in a different box in the sidebar.

5) I want to put my adsense search box at the top of the theme instead of the search you have provoided….and let the result disply in the same result page that you have created.

Actually I got many doubts after reading his comments….

I have many doubts too. If you have any ideas about my problem with the tabs let me know.
Dave on March 3rd, 2008 6:47 pm

I get this error on every theme I try to use… any ideas?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_search_query() in /home/search4/public_html/wp-content/themes/StudioPress/searchform.php on line 3
mayooresan on March 3rd, 2008 10:02 pm

Im using your theme it’s clean and cool!!
I don’t wanna use category but by default it’s in the side bar!!!
how to remove it?
Daniel on March 4th, 2008 3:12 am

@Cesar, we will consider adding the changes you suggested, thanks.

@Dave, it might be related to your WordPress version, are you using an old one?

@Mayoresan, just go into the theme editor, then sidebar.php, and delete what you don’t want there.
PB on March 5th, 2008 7:29 pm

Daniel,

Thanks for the feedback, when I upgraded my Wordpress version I no longer received the fatal error… site is definitely coming along.

I know this is an ez fix, but how do I add tabs to home page along the top where About us, and Home are located. Thanks again
Sridhar Katakam on March 5th, 2008 7:35 pm

PB: When you create a new page in WordPress, it gets added as the tab automatically.

Hi Daniel, nice theme! Could you send me PSD for an Italian translation?

Thank you!
Nisha on March 10th, 2008 3:07 pm

Hi guys/girls,

i thank cesar for answering my previous questions.And i have not at all changed any codes in any of the files in wordpress, but still my some contents(like long urls etc) are going out of boundry(like this one- http://technotip.org/index.php/category/orkut/
).
Pls anybody suggest me a solution.

And anyone pls tell me, how to integrate bbpress into this theme, just like in http://www.labnol.org.
And another important question, how can i put wedgets into the post?
Because, i have created another page called popular posts,where i want to disply all my voted popular posts.I have installed the plugin to get the popular post, and i know the function names etc, but stil i am not able to disply the popular post titles in the middle of the page(in the place of post{content}).
Daniel Scocco on March 12th, 2008 2:37 pm

If you need the PSD email me please.
Web Proxy on March 15th, 2008 10:32 pm

Wow! I love this theme. Just downloaded it, am gonna use it for a blog on http://www.WebProxyTalk.com
Steve on March 21st, 2008 8:29 am

Hello, I just installed this theme. I am having 1 issue…all of the new pages I create (like the About section) all load up the home page, rather then their actual page. Can anyone help me? thank you all.

-Steve
TopDog on March 23rd, 2008 2:04 pm

Hey Daniel,
Awesome themes. Both, this theme and the red one, have a small error…
In your footer.php file, you are missing the closing </a> tag in your site link, causing it not to validate. Other than that, great themes. Thanks for making them.
TopDog on March 23rd, 2008 2:19 pm

It looks like the green and orange StudioPress themes are also missing that closing tag. Just thought you’d like to know.
PB on March 23rd, 2008 4:15 pm

Hey Daniel,

How do I capitalize the first letter for each page I create. Example About, Contact. Everytime I create a new page I’m unable to capitalize the first letter.

Also where do I add my rss feed code so readers can get my feed.

Thanks Again,

PB
Nisha on March 24th, 2008 12:18 am

Daniel, pls answer me.

1) I want to add a page in the theme, and there I just want to display my most rated, most popular topics names(links), at the center of the page(where we usually write posts).
I am using some plugins to get most rated,popular article lists.

2) And I want to display some html and java script codes in between my posts…how can I do it?
When I post those tags, they just start executing.

3) And please tell whether to put tag somewhere in the footer.php .I will not do any changes to the theme, until you say it here.

4) I read your recent posts about new release of Wordpress and then wanted to upgrade it.I just copied everything except the wp-content folder.After that I got some data base error.It asked something like connect the data base(I am not sure, what was the message).I just clicked it, and now everything is working good..My old posts are again showing.
Now my question is– was that the correct method for upgrading word press?

And finally, thanks a lot for this theme.Its really looking great.
If possible please include my email ID in your gmail or Gtalk…I want to have a small chat with you!

Thanks a lot.

@Steve, looks like a local bug on your WordPress.

@TopDog, will fix that so the theme will validate, thanks!

@PB, to capitalize the page headers you will need to tweak the code on header.php that is creating them (I will try to get the exact code and paste it here).

The RSS code goes into the header.php also, look for the html code of the RSS image.

@Nicha,

1. Just create a page manually and add the links there. If you need a different layout create a new page template, something like newpage.php and drop it with the theme files.

2. You need a plugin for that, try exec-php.

3. Sure

4. Check this page for upgrading WordPress http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress

Send me an email with your IM contacts and I will add them.

great theme looks fantastic. I liked the ‘theme option’ to add welcome note. but the feed url at the top is not working in IE . It directs to wrong url. ‘feed:http//www.mydomain.com/blog/feed/’
Tim on March 25th, 2008 6:56 am

Has anyone figured out how to get tabs to display in this template for only the top level pages (not all sub-pages as well). I have messed around with the header.php file without any luck
Ben on March 29th, 2008 9:02 am

Hey Daniel, Great theme!

Just a nudge on finding a workaround to get the navigation tabs to display only the pages we want… None of the 3 available plugins have any affect, and I’ve spent several hours trying to tweak the header.php to no effect whatsoever. I can get close, but then the tabs disappear, leaving just the links…

Tried changing

but it throws everything out. I’ve never seen ‘get_the_pa_ges’ used before?? Appreciate your input. Many thanks.

@arin2u — in ‘header.php’ about line 32 look for:
“>
and delete ‘feed:’ so it looks like this:
“>

You’ll have to do the same with the RSS feeds in ‘footer.php’ line7:

“>Full RSS - “>Comments RSS

Delete: ‘feed:’ in 2 places, but be sure to leave the double quote as is… “>

You’ll be good to go!
Ascony on March 29th, 2008 1:26 pm

Please can someone help me out. I want to replace my current wordpress theme with this one. This theme is really da bomb. I cant wait to have it. Someone please help.
southafrikanse on March 29th, 2008 4:44 pm

Hello. In the last 2 months I’ve been doing some tweaks in your theme. I just lauched the new look in my blog: http://www.tugatronica.com

And yesterday I found this problem:

http://www.tugatronica.com/?s=.....de+Inverno

It’s when I submit a search word and I get this. Can you help me fix this?
Mike on March 29th, 2008 9:11 pm

Any idea if this theme is 2.5 compatible?
Daniel Scocco on March 30th, 2008 4:53 am

@Tim and Ben, I will get a coder to look if he can find a workaround for the pages issue.

@Ascony, what problems you have doing the change?

@southafrikense, it is probably some changes you added to the theme, because on the demo version the search function works fine.

@Mike, I will test, but should be.
Ben on March 31st, 2008 1:54 pm

Hey Daniel,

Many thanks for doing that. Be great if it’s possible…

All the best,
Ben
Virginia on April 1st, 2008 8:01 pm

Hello Ben, hey i noticed you were having the same problem with tabs. I tried to fix it too but i never got any luck. I am leaving you a commente here so to verify that the only thing that i have to do is to delete from line32 de word FEED? and from line 7 in footter.php only the word Feed?
Now is this going to correct the problem that when i create a page it automatically gets displaid on the navigation tabs…..????? i wanted to create like 6 pages of articles and all the tabs were compiled on top so the design looked ugly.
Just let me know so iam sure and don’t mess it up.
Chip on April 3rd, 2008 2:39 am

Theme not working w/ WP 2.5. Lost the white background and sidebar. Any ideas?
Marcos A.T. Silva on April 8th, 2008 10:43 am

Hello!

Regarding the above mentioned pages issue, I have found a solution through a friend’s suggestion, on a Brazilian Wordpress Support Forum:

http://forum.pblog.com.br/topi.....3#post-388

The solution was posted by “danillonunes”.

What you have to do is edit the “header.php” file of the theme, and change the line 129, as described below.

Change:

$output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;

For:

if ($the_page_id != PAGEID) $output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;

Please change “PAGEID” with the correct id of the page you want to exclude from menu.

Hope this helps you.

Regards.
Kdogg© on April 9th, 2008 12:32 am

Great Theme!!

I am new to wordpress and my problem may be simple. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I want to be able to show the first paragraph or so of long posts with a “Continue reading” link at the end that leads to the entire post. I have tried using the “more” tag. it works but it moves both sidebars to the bottom and screws up the footer. I tried tried using the “excerpt” function but it doesnt seem to have any effect. i’m sure I must need to edit some page in the “Theme Editor,” I am just not sure which to edit. Can anyone point me to the right direction.
Kdogg© on April 9th, 2008 1:12 am

Ok,
I just figured out that if I edit home.php instead of index.php I can get the ” ” to work without messing up the sidebar. The only problem is that it doesn’t put a link to the full post at the end. i wanted a link similar to “more…” at the end so that the reader would understand to click to get to the rest of the post.
Kdogg© on April 9th, 2008 1:24 am

that was supposed toread:
I can get the php the_excerpt to work without messing up the sidebar

patrick on April 14th, 2008 3:29 am

Great theme - thank you for it.
One question - how do I change the feed URL in the Grab Our Feed section top right? It points at my site’s default feed, but it needs to point at Feedburner.
Daniel Scocco on April 14th, 2008 11:41 am

@ascony, themes do not affect your admin area. The problem is coming from somewhere else.

@patrick, open the header.php file, and find the code for the rss icon. You can insert your feedburner URL there.
Chris on April 14th, 2008 2:30 pm

Great theme! I have featured it on my site Themes that don’t suck!
http://www.themesthatdontsuck.com
patrick on April 14th, 2008 3:48 pm

Thanks for the reply. You said
@patrick, open the header.php file, and find the code for the rss icon. You can insert your feedburner URL there.

That is what I initially thought to try - problem is, a search for ‘rss’ in that file returns nothing. I don’t see where anything RSS-related is mentioned …
Paul on April 14th, 2008 4:22 pm

@Patrick - it should be around line 63 - change
feed: ? php bloginfo(’rss2_url’); ?
to your feedburner feed
patrick on April 14th, 2008 4:46 pm

Paul - there is no Line 63 when I download the header.php file to edit it. As per my previous comment, doing a find on ‘rss’ returns nothing at all!

Think this is because the downloaded file contains an odd document sort of symbol, which is an editable link relating to RSS - but if I edit that, it converts the file to .rtfd and seems to make it unrecognizable for upload.

That leaves me only with editing the file in place in Wordpress and I don’t like that - tried finding your string and replacing and then got a 404 error on clicking the RSS button.

Can you explain why the header.php file will not allow me to find any string with ‘rss’ in it? Or how I can edit that safely???
patrick on April 17th, 2008 1:17 am

Any further thoughts on my questions above?
Marcos A.T. Silva on April 18th, 2008 4:08 pm

Hi!

Someone knows how can I eliminate the “border” that appears around all images and smiles on StudioPress Theme? The border color is #CCCCCC.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Jean on April 21st, 2008 10:59 pm

RE: Marcos with image border issues…

I had been struggling with that one for days! This theme looks nice but it took a lot of understanding how the CSS was coded to be able to tweak it. With that border, it also shifted the smilies around and looked weird. I gave up on the theme and started tweaking others when I discovered what another did on their css for the img tag.

If you look on the style.css at line 381, you’ll see something for postContent img. You need to change it to take out the border and the pixel size for the margin. I’m not even sure why it’s in there the way it is because all my photos ending up with that border around them which is not attractive at all. You line should look like this, if it shows properly on this comment:

.postContent img {
border: 0px none #FFFFFF;
}

It is amazing to me how that little change makes it look soooo much better with the smilies aligned more with the text instead of being scooted off to the side with an ugly grey border around it.

This theme works great if you leave it as is with the background images but if you’re looking to customize and tweak it, be prepared to spend days on it if you’re not super savvy, which I can’t say that I am. It took me all evening long just to figure out how to get my logo graphic in the header. Good luck!
ascony on April 22nd, 2008 11:43 am

Daniel. pls i need ur attention here pls. its been over a week now since i started using studiopress and since then i have not been able to log in to my site admin area.
I have posted o n this problem b4 and this was ur reply

“@ascony, themes do not affect your admin area. The problem is coming from somewhere else.”

Now i am confused and frustrated bcos this problem started immediately i upl;oaded and statred using studiopress. i dont know where else this problem might be from.
Also i asked one of my mentors and this was his reply

“I can guess the problem is with the theme you use. It is probably not
up to date with the latest version of wordpress version 2.5.

Anyway, you should be able to login through
http://pennywisemillionaires.com/wp-login.php”

But i tried login in and still to no avail. could it really be that studiopress does not support wp version 2.5 or what?
Please help me out here. its really urgent that i get thjis site ready as soon as possible. Thanks.
Paul on April 22nd, 2008 11:51 am

@ ascony - Theme should not affect your login. If you are convinced that it does, simply use your ftp client to delete the theme. WP will revert to the default theme and if you still can not login, you will know it was not the theme. If that is the case, as I suspect it will be, you would be best served by a fresh install of WP.
Kdogg© on April 23rd, 2008 2:16 pm

OK, I have 6 pages completed now but I am unable to change the page order. I have a “pages” widget in the sidebar that is ordered correctly. I gave each page a number in the Manage->Pages->page Order. However, the tabs at the top remain in the order that they were created. I have a feeling that this has something to do with the page id. I am just unsure where to go about changing it. Any suggestions? If you can point me in the right direction I should be able to figure it out. Thanks.
Marcos A.T. Silva on April 23rd, 2008 3:00 pm

Hi Jean,

Thank you very much for your help. Now all is working fine in my Blog/StudioPress Theme.

I have changed the block you have suggested, and it is now as described below:

.postContent img {
margin: none;
border: none;
}

I have eliminated the margin and the border.

Thank you very much.
Luke W Parker on April 28th, 2008 1:48 am

Thank you Daniel for an AWESOME theme. I had exactly two minor issues with it and the rest is golden. I’m using it on my new blog right now.

Jean figured out one of the issues for me, the Border… I saw that line but merely setting them to 0 didn’t help, I had to say the color should be white too in order to make that border go away.

The other problem is the one you said you’d eventually get around to for PB… The lowercase letters in the Tabs… Why would anyone ever want those to be lowercase? -Oh well, to each his own… Any headway yet on how to change that?

Thanks again!
Luke
Daniel Scocco on April 28th, 2008 9:20 am

Hey Luke, it was my designers choice to go with all lowercase. I think it does integrate with the design, but yeah having capital letters there should be an option.

I will take a look at the code to see what function is defining the lowercases, give me a day.
Daniel Scocco on April 28th, 2008 9:22 am

OK, just locate on the CSS “text-transform: lowercase” and remove it.
Luke W Parker on April 28th, 2008 3:54 pm

Wow, 2 minutes is a very quick Day! Which planet are you on?

That did the trick, I should have seen that before… I looked but didn’t know what to look for.

Thank you very much and again, I LOVE the template. It’s working perfectly now except for a small widget glitch… (Just a text widget that won’t die… The “Edit” link on the widget is missing so I can’t delete it from sidebar 1.)

I don’t know if that’s a template issue or not, but feel free to look at the page:

http://www.lukesreviews.com

It’s the bottom-left widget titled “Have you seen SSS Lately?”

Thanks again!

Kdogg© on April 29th, 2008 8:21 pm

Anyone ever figure out how to change the order of the page “tabs”?

Also where is “The Loop” located. I want to add a post separator bar(I think its called a horizontal rule) between posts. i think I want to add this code: at the end of the Loop.
Kdogg© on April 30th, 2008 10:16 am

So far I am 3 for 4 in answering my own questions. I added “class=”postTags ” to the end of the loop in my home.php file. This created a tag line that works as a separator. I was able to change the color by modifying the stylesheet. Imagine that, a couple of weeks ago I didn’t know what a stylesheet was. I still have two questions:

1. How do you change the order of the pages as they are listed in the tabs across the top. I also want some of my pages to not show up across the top at all but rather as a link in the header, footer or sidebar.

2. I was able to move the “comments” link and image to the end of the posts and right above my new separator bar just like I wanted. However I am unable to move them both to the center like I want. Right now they are neatly left justified. I have success moving them individually using the stylesheet (p.comments ) and adjusting the padding. Am I in the right place? Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
WilsonC on May 2nd, 2008 7:45 am

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for the theme.

I’ve been doing some editing here and there but what I can’t seem to figure out is how to move the nav bar to the top like what Lorenzo (comment 48) did with his.

http://img170.imageshack.us/im.....lemwq8.jpg

Also, how do I modify the post-meta in a way that the top meta info shows only “Posted by” and the “date” whereelse the bottom meta would show the “categories” and “comments”?

I can’t seem to figure this out.
Daniel Scocco on May 2nd, 2008 10:34 am

@Kdogg, let me know if you manage to alter the tab orders. I am trying to play with the code as well to see what I can come up with.

@Luke, I think there is a maximum size for the headlines on the sidebar, else it wont fit on the image.

@WilsonC, for the tabs on the top section, you would need to place around with the CSS, but better to ask Lorenzo how he did it to save you some time :).

One suggestion, download the web developer extension for Firefox and take a look at his CSS and source code.

For the post meta, take a look at index.php for a section that looks like this:

<div class=”postMeta”>

<span class=”date”><?php the_time(’M.d, Y’) ?></span> in

<span class=”filed”><?php the_category(’, ‘); ?></span>

</div>

<div class=”postContent”><?php the_content(’[Read the rest of this entry...]‘); ?></div<

<p class=”comments”><?php comments_popup_link(’Leave a Comment’, ‘Comments (1)’, ‘Comments (%)’); ?></p>

You can play around with each field, moving it above or below the post. “the_content” is the post itself.

Remember to change that on single.php also afterwards, and possible on archives.php.
WilsonC on May 2nd, 2008 10:47 am

Ok great… Thanks Daniel. That Firefox tip will help a lot as well. Cheers!
Kdogg on May 2nd, 2008 1:05 pm

In the CSS
change “text-transform: lowercase;”
to
“text-transform: capitalize;”
to make the first letter of each page a capital letter.
use “text-transform: uppercase;”
to make every letter uppercase
ersin on May 5th, 2008 3:48 pm

very beautiful.. thank you vert much. I will make a blog like this.
Luke W Parker on May 5th, 2008 7:04 pm

Hi Daniel,

I realize that it is too long, but I have no options to change it… There simply is no “edit” link for me to click on inside my widget panel, that box can only be moved up and down but not accessed at all.

The only thing I can think to do is search for it in my SQL database… That would make me really nervous though! -Does anyone here have any better idea?

Thanks,
Luke

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for this great theme!!!!! I changed my old one directly when i saw this one!

two questions:

1. how can i add the name from the poster to the post? (like : Posted by…) I have different posters on my blog.
2. When im “grabbing the feed” it shows a wrong adres: http://http:/www.hi-re.nl/?feed=rss2. How to resolve this?

Thank you in advance.

Brad on June 23rd, 2008 3:02 pm

For anyone else wanting to remove a page from your header tabs follow these instructions:

1. Open up header.php from your StudioPress directory
2. Find this section of code:
if (is_page($the_page_id)) {
$addclass = ‘ class=”current_page”‘;
} else {
$addclass = ”;
}
$output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;
}

Replace it with this:

If ($the_page_id ‘9′) {
if (is_page($the_page_id)) {
$addclass = ‘ class=”current_page”‘;
} else {
$addclass = ”;
}
$output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;
}
}

Just replace the 9 with whatever page ID you want to exclude from the tabs at the top of the theme.

Saeed on July 18th, 2008 8:11 am

Hi there, Daniel.

My jaw literally hit the floor once I came across your theme…it was the “PERFECT” theme I had in my mind for my blog. Thank you very much for sharing it with us all.

I have a bit of a problem when using it on my blog though. I’m using WordPress 2.5. I’m trying to add the author tag, so that with the meta data, it also shows “Posted by [author name]“. However, it never makes the change.

Moreover, I can’t change literally ANYTHING in the theme. In index.php, where you have coded as:

in

When I change the text “in” to “under the category”, it again makes no changes on the site. I have even tried making the same changes to page.php and archives.php but with no success.

The Theme Editor seems to be working fine, because when I change the theme back to default (as it is now), I can make all sort of changes.

Could you kindly help me out here and guide me as to where am I going wrong and what changes need to be made? Being a doctor with very limited knowledge of HTML and PHP, I am sort of lost and would be very grateful for your help.
Saeed on July 18th, 2008 8:14 am

Sorry, it seems to have gobbled up the code which I had pasted. Here it is, with ‘
(span class=”date”> in
(span class=”filed”>
(/div>
Daniel Scocco on July 18th, 2008 2:42 pm

@Saeed, I see the author tag working fine on your site, one of them was posted by Saeed, and the other by admin.

For making changes, make sure the file permissions are set correctly.
Saeed on July 18th, 2008 3:11 pm

Thank you very much for responding promptly, Daniel. Yes, I kept on tinkering around with the code until I got it right.

There’s one small thing - if you could help me on it. When I open the author page by clicking on the author of an entry, it gives this wierd quotation mark along with the name of the author on the top of the browser (Firefox). Any idea what could be wrong there and how I could fix it?
tc on July 21st, 2008 11:35 am

Thanks for the theme. I have started using it on my blog @
