Vistalicious WordPress Theme Released
This is one of my favorite WordPress Themes so far. Vistalicious is a clean theme with two columns and a green flavored background. It is advertising ready and easily customizable.
Here are all the features of the theme:
- About Section: On the right side of the header you have space to write a brief description of the website, or to promote a specific section with a link to it.
- Subscription Section: The theme comes with a custom image to encourage visitors to subscribe to your RSS feed. It should be easy to insert an email subscription form there as well.
- Advertising Ready: The theme already comes with a 300×250 spot on the sidebar (compatible with Google AdSense). Additionally, there is a readme file with a code for people that want to use 125×125 ad buttons.
- Search Engine Optimization: All the title and meta tags are already optimized for search engines. Secondly, the category and archive pages will only display post excerpts to avoid duplicate content penalties.
If you find any problems while installing the theme, or if you have any suggestions, just let us know on the comments section below.

i like this theme ,thanks for shared!
That’s a refreshingly clean design. The simple background around the RSS icon is perfect for customising the subscription options rather than having to worry about matching gradient backgrounds. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t appear to support 3 column layout.
Is it xtml or html customizable ??
@DailyEcoTips, yeah right now you just have a 2 columns layout. We could try to do a 3-column version in the future though.
@Gabriel, xhtml.
That actually looks really quite good! I’m sure it will be popular
OUTSTANDING!!! It really is very, very clean and slick! Just an FYI - the buttons at the top “break” if the title is too long.
I shortened my page titles to make it work, that’s how great this is! Thanks!!!
I am just here to say that it is a great free wordpress themes!
Thanks. Already running on my blog
Although I wanted to pus some adsense instead of the header description, and Firefox did’t show it right. But it’s ok
And it took me some time to figure out that I should edit home.php along with index.php
Nice and simple. I like it.
Awesome theme. Might use it and customize it myself.
@Deblog, yeah you need to tweak it a bit to put AdSense on the header, but it is totally possible also.
Thank you for free nice theme.
If you make tutorial how to creat wordpress theme i will be very happy
Do you have a psd file especially the Subscribe to rss feed Image? Also maybe add a banner next to the logo.? Thanks.
@Ultimate Blogging Experiment, email me and I will send you the psd.
I really like the theme that might even be used for my new WP blog
Thanks Daniel.
Thanks. I receive your rss feed daily after I found dailyblogs about a month ago. Installed Wordpress just for another thing to play around with. After install I was stuck at what theme to have(takes longer to find one than install) this one ideal. Very nice.
Cheers
I love the colors and the navigation buttons.
its not bad.. Thought I don’t care for the color that much.. But I don’t mind the overall design of it.
Very nice, although havn’t tried it out, I think the column for category might be a little bit too wide.
I have downloaded the them for my blog and I love it. I am working on getting my logo in place in the header. I’m doing a little boning up on CSS. I will post once I finish, in case someone else needs the help.
Another nice design. Very refreshing. I like it. Thanks.
Very nice theme! However, the end product is left justified instead of centered. I have not yet figured out how to center the sidebar and posts properly.
I have downloaded the zip file and will try this in my new sites. I think it’s really cool, clean and easy to tweak. TY!
I’m stuck. The theme is left justified and I cannot get it to center. Any suggestions?
I like this theme
hey, so nice theme
Good theme
Awesome theme, thanks! Got it up and running on my blog right now.
Thanks again for creating these WordPress Themes, they are really great themes.
You’ve got an RSS Subscriber for life!
Talk soon,
Ryan McMillan
@Tim, I don’t get what you mean by center the theme. You mean the text on the content column?
@Daniel Scocco When I refresh the page, the theme graphics are centered justified, but when the page completes the load the whole theme is left justified. For reference, look at the screenshot at the top. For me, it looks exactly like the screenshot, but the whole theme is pushed to the left side of the screen.
Nice looking theme, although I am partial to the Thesis Theme.
Joost de Valk has a great post on 10 things you should look for in a perfect WordPress theme:
http://yoast.com/perfect-wordpress-theme/
Anyone looking for a WordPress theme should read that post. And he told me he has a review of Thesis in the works, so look for that when it comes out as well.
Do you have a psd file especially the Subscribe to rss feed Image? Also maybe add a banner next to the logo.? Thanks.
Hi Dan, how do we remove the blog name and description from th top to put an actual logo ?
Thank you
@Youtube, nope sorry.
@Jack, open the header.php, locate the code that calls the logo, remove it, and put your![]()
Hi Daniel. First of all, your theme is awesome. By the way, I have one problem. When I insert picture by using . The picture doesn’t align same level as text. Appreciate if you help me how to fix this problem. thank you
Hi,
Few days ago I changed my theme to Vistalicious. By the way great theme and does What I was looking for a while pages are visible up with the theme)
My question is regarding advertising section. I was abel to change the image and would like to know where can I insert the url link, so when you click at the image it will take you to the advertising website. Thank you
Hi Daniel… excellent theme, loving it!!!
Can I ask how you can EXCLUDE a page from showing?
I would normally adapt wp_list_pages()
But I can’t for the life of me find the location of your alternative.
Oh and I forgot to ask why can you only click on the bottom 20% of any link in the header when using FireFox?
Stay Frosty!
Looks great, but I get:
Call to undefined function: the_search_query() in /var/virtual/web/w1690/html/blog/wp-content/themes/vistalicious/searchform.php on line 3
Why is it failing?
