Thanks for releasing this theme, it’s very nice. I have to questions:

1. It seems to be an error in the theme. It doesn’t display the autor under the post title.

2. How can I make a link to the comments in the posts that are in the principal page (not only in the individual posts).

Regards.

Hi Axioum,

1. You’ll need to complete your profile details when you log in (Users > Your Profile > First Name, Last Name, Nickname)

2. You’d need to change this in line 11 of your index.php file:

<?php comments_number('No comments','One comment','% comments'); ?>

to

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#comments"><?php comments_number('No comments','One comment','% comments'); ?></a>

Thanks for the fast answer. The “problem” can also be fixed by changing for .

Another thing I’ve noticed, the “Reply” button does no appear in the comments.
Axioum says:

February 7, 2009 at 8:16 pm

Oops, I put some PHP code in the comment. Changing the_author_firstname for the_auhtor.
Leon says:

February 7, 2009 at 8:33 pm

Yep, depends how formal you want to be, I guess.

Also, I haven’t enabled comments. Again, that’s a back end change (Settings > Discussion > Enable threaded (nested) comments). The theme will allow up to 5 levels of replies (it runs out of space after that).

I’ll change that in the demo and a note to this post.

Looks good, clean, functional and certainly focusses on the content.
I don’t like it as much as my present theme, but if I were looking to change it is the kind of direction in which I’d be heading.
Congratulations on the move . . . I’m doing the same thing this weekend, and feeling more or less optimistic.
Leon says:

February 7, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Thanks John – and good luck to you. I’d recommend my new host if only for the fact that they do the leg work for you.

“Focusses”? We decided that one ‘s’ was the way ahead at work…

Very nice of you, Leon. And a very clean and minimalistic theme. Like it.
Leon says:

February 15, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Thanks. Mad Poetic’s not too shabby either.

Thanks for this very nice Theme =)
Leon says:

@Chris – thanks, hope it’s of use.

Please post any bugs and comments here.

I’m wearing your theme now ;)
Leon says:

March 4, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Hey Daus – very nice indeed: love the colours. I’m kind of honoured. Of course, you change theme even more often than me ;)
Leon says:

March 4, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I made a minor–ish update today:

- tidied up author naming (uses the_author so you can control how your name appears)
- made some meta changes (removed redundant favicon ref)
- altered way archives are presented (added a date archive and removed complete list of posts. Authors with several years’ worth of posts therefore won’t have 5 mile high archive pages)

It’s worth updating if you downloaded prior to 4th March 2009.

Thanks,

Leon
Daus says:

It’s becoming an addiction actually :)
Daus says:

March 5, 2009 at 4:52 am

Thank you for the updates. Do I have to reinstall the theme or just modify the codes?
Leon says:

March 5, 2009 at 7:06 am

Reinstalling is best as I’ve changed most the template files. I haven’t changed the stylesheet, so you can still use your version of style.css.

Take a look at the demo just to make sure you’re happy with everything (the archives have changed quite a bit).

—Leon
Leon says:

March 5, 2009 at 11:42 am

Actually, I have added one line to the style.css file, but it’s important as it ensures IE6 behaves well with the theme. If you want to add it manually so you don’t lose your changes, it is:

overflow: hidden;

Add this anywhere within the #header section of the stylesheet.
Daus says:

March 13, 2009 at 7:30 am

Dear Leon, what if I want the frontpage to display full post (not excerpt). What line(s) should be altered?

Thanks!
Daus says:

March 14, 2009 at 12:01 am

Nevermind. Problem solved :)
Leon says:

March 14, 2009 at 7:44 am

Good man – pretty simple, one line change. Think I preferred the previous colour scheme ;)
Danielle Mitchell says:

April 21, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Thank you for additional useful information.I can install it now easily.
