WordPress Theme Blog

Another great theme by webdemar! You are one of my favorite Wordpress Theme designers yet.

I really like the fact that you create themes that are basic and clean but yet are not boring and allow easy customization.

I have used your deFusion Theme on two of my websites so far and I love them. I look forward to taking this one and applying it to one of my projects.

Thanks Again Webdemar!!

@webdemar

I look forward to them!

@Dan:

I’m sorry but I’ve never built a phpBB theme To move the search form into the header add another div inside the div with ID header (header.php) and put the searchform call into it as follows:

<div id="search-header">
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH. '/searchform.php'); ?>
</div>

In the style.css put the following:

#search-header {
	position: absolute;
	right: 0px;
	bottom: 40px;
}

With right and bottom you can change the position to your needs. Hope this helps

I like this theme a lot. I always prefer darker styles and the blues keep this theme from being too dark. I’ve got it up on my blog now. I did however find a small error in the javascript in header.php. (It is also present when previewing the theme)

You forgot to close the jquery document.ready function.
Inside the theme editor edit header.php and add “});” without quote after the .superfish();

Hey webdemar, Happy New Year! Just wanted to amend my previous comment; adding width: 240px fixes the search form in the header as I previously said, but it doesn’t solve the problem on a “Not found!” query. The problem in the Stylesheet.css is that you have float:left in #searchform #search and float: right in #searchform #search-submit. You don’t need both, so I fixed the search box everywhere it appears by deleting float: right; from #searchform #search-submit. Just wanted you and other users to know that this is the real solution to the form-button separation problem that occurs outside the sidebar.

How do install your DeCoder theme to my Word Press account?

@ webdemar

I read several of those posts over and over but still seem to be missing something. I downloaded my theme and uploaded it to my server (FTP) though I do not think that is the source of my blog. So I then selected another theme and slowly copied and pasted over the present them to get the new code. Now I’m in between designs. Ah! Sorry, I’m a newbie.

Hey webdemar! Recently upgraded to 0.9.1. Site looks perfect now in all browsers. You did great work on the menu, tables, bulleted lists, and more features I probably don’t even use. Thanks, and take care!

Oh, forgot to ask! My comments don’t look quite like the ones in your demo. Can you tell me if a certain plugin is required? Thanks.

@Dan:

That’s because you have WordPress 2.7. These comments look different. But you can enable threaded comments on Settings > Discussion > Other comment settings. That’s what this dark button is for.

Anyway you’re right. The 2.7 comments are not as beautiful as the one is older Versions. But at the moment I’m too busy to fix that

Hey man! Great Wordpress theme! Thanks!

Question: I customized the theme to remove the sidebar from a few pages but still have the gray bar, see http://www.matttehonica.com/blog/videos/ Any ideas how I can remove this???

Thanks again!
Matt

@Blake:

Sorry Blake. I decided not to support IE6 in my private projects any more. So I didn’t do any testing

@Dan:

Sure you can do that. But unfortunately threaded comments won’t be displayed then. This will be improved in a future version of deCoder.

@Matt:

Sorry dude. Could have been more precise. If you do not want the sidebar background at all, just delete the background of the div with the ID content (but leave the z-index) from the stylesheet (style.css):

72
73
74
75

#content {
	background: url(img/bg-content.gif) repeat-y right top;
	z-index: 1; /* IE z-index bug */
}

If you need to get rid of the sidebar on only a few pages you could add another class to the content div in the page.php depending on what page you’re on.

3

<div id=" content" class="clearfix <?php if(is_page(x) || is_page(y)) echo 'no-sidebar';  ?>">

Where x and y are page IDs. On these pages the css class ‘no-sidebar’ would be echoed. In the style.css you could add the following:

.no-sidebar {
    background: none;
}

Hope this works. I did not test it! Good luck. Let me know if you have further problems.

Correction - Those changes will only make the index page XHTML 1.0 compliant. I am working on making the single post page validate.

Hey Webdemar, I’m going to quit saying this will be last comment! I’m finding a problem with numbered lists in IE 7, the numbers are not displaying. I’ve looked through the CSS and the values you have there look right so I really can’t see the problem. But I’m not an expert. Please look at “An Ordered and an Unordered List” in your demo with IE and you’ll see the problem.

Thanks! (Until next time )

@Dan:

You’re doing a great job as my number one bug reporter Thanks for that!

Regarding the ordered lists: I messed up the styles. Please change:

223
224
225
226
227
228
229
230
231

.box-left ul, ol, .post ul, ol, .page ul, ol {
	margin: 0 0 20px 0;
	line-height: 22px;
}
 
.box-left ul, .post ul, .page ul {
	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
	list-style: none;
}

This is bullshit! The right way is:

223
224
225
226
227
228
229
230
231

.box-left ol, .post ol, .page ol {
	line-height: 22px;
}
 
.box-left ul, .post ul, .page ul {
	line-height: 22px;
	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
	list-style: none;
}

With this one it worked in IE7. Did not test it in IE6.

Your’re so right Dan!

@_viri_TT_:

Open header.php and change this:

57

<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

to this:

57

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

Now to display categories in the sidebar to the same the other way around in the sidebar.php

I really like the way the black and blue go together.

Looking forward to using this theme in the future.

Thanks for sharing it.

@FloZ:
Glad you like the theme Could you give me an URL to see what exactly the problem is?

@FloZ:
I do not see exactly where the problem is. You could try to remove the jQuery script of the superfish drop down menu from line 24. Maybe there is some kind of interference:

24

<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js">

The worst case would be that you cannot run the Superfish dropdown menu and the Gallery plugin. But you would be the first one who experiences that. I had other users with this plugin installed and everything was fine.

Try to turn off other Javascripts (e.g. PicLens) step by step to maybe find the problem.

@FloZ:
Cool! In line 24 the jQuery library for the dropdown menu was called. But it also works fine without it (though without animations - fade-in, slide-down). I decided not to support IE6 in my private projects any more. Too much work

I just wanted to say thanks, I used your deFusion theme on my blog and when looking for one for my other site I have chose deCoder. It wasn’t until a while later I realised you did both. I must just like your style!

I changed the top menu to list pages instead of posts using the code you listed above, which works fine but breaks the highlighting of the currently selected button.

It’s not a big problem, but might be useful to know.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome work.

Paul.

@Paul Joy:
Thanks for the feedback, Paul!

@Sinchen:
I decided not to provide support for IE6 any more. The problem is the transparent png image used in the header. If you want to fix it you would need to apply a IE png fix like Unit PNG Fix.

@Niels:
Thanks for the feedback, Niels! You probably changed the footer of the theme. The div with the id footer has to be outside of the div with the id page. Open the footer.php and check if the end tag of the page div is placed before the footer begins as it is in the original:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

</ div><!-- end page -->
 
<div id="footer-wrap">

Hi!
Tnx for the deCoder-Theme. But i have a question:
Is ist possible to show up my static pages in the blog-header-menu instead of the categories?
I substituted the wp_list_categories() in the header.php with wp_list_pages() (without any arguments) but that looks crappy. What can i do?
Thanks in advance…

ah, thanks.

Hi -
I use a modified version of this theme (which works great by the way, so few option exist with properly functioning threaded comments!) But I notice my pictures and list items getting all messed up together. Any suggestions?

Hi, in my 404 Error log, I get lots of errors for: ​

/wp-content​/themes​/decoder​/img​/bg-meta.gif

I have re-installed the theme, and it is not there in the .zip from wordpress.

I love the theme, but the 404’s are annoying me as every page view triggers another error.

Any suggestions?

Thank You,

/y0z

@k kane:
Ok. I see what you meen. I put

232
233
234
235
236

.box-left ul li, .post ul li, .page ul li {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
	background: url(img/bg-list-item-content.png) no-repeat left center;
}

Setting the background image position of the list item to left center is not too smart To fix you problem change it to left top or 0px 3px (play around with these).

Hope this helps.

@y0z2a:
Sure, that’s annoying! I just forgot to delete the background image on the class .meta. Open up style.css and remove background from the .mata class:

199
200
201
202
203
204
205

.meta {
	padding: 10px 0 0 0;
	background: url(img/bg-meta.gif) repeat-x left top; /** delete this line */
	color: #f8dec7;
	border-top: 1px dotted #5d5d5d;
	clear: both;
}

no worries mate.

lovely theme thank you.

/y0z

That’s a problem of the z-index. The featured content gallery has an index of 10 and the menu only 2. Open style.css of the theme and fix it here:

62
63
64
65
66
67

#header {
	position: relative;
	height: 180px;
	background: url(img/bg-header.jpg) no-repeat left top;
	z-index: 2; /** change this to at least 11 */
}

This might already fix you problem

I LOVE your theme, but I have this error on my site that I must have caused when I tried to customized it (first time working with a WP theme-previously was a MT user). Can you help at all, cause this error is driving me crazy Thanks

Thanks for this great theme

Oh NICE! This makes me want to open a blog just to use it.

Hello there, thanks for this great theme.

I’m a bit new as a webmaster and using wordpress of course.
I was using the deCoder theme in my blog with Wordpress 2.7, today I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.1 and the theme is not compatible the sidebar menu goes right at the bottom of the blog.
this is how it looks: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8556/themeerror.jpg

can U help to fix this please
I really like this theme, and I don’t want to change it because of this…
thanks U very much.

@Edd:
Hey Edd. Thanks for using the theme. Could you provide an url to see the site live? I would be surprise if this issue has to do with the theme. But you never know

Also a quick note footer.php and header.php also contain use of the short tag <? instead of <?php which might not work on all hosts.

I also modified the theme to list my pages along the top and categories in the sidebar.

Thanks for the theme!

Hi,

A great simple theme, thanks a lot.

I have a little problem, If you could help me please…

When a single page have comments, their title should be (”number” User Comments), but for my site it displays (”number” Comments to “Post-title”

It took me wages trying to get rid of the “post-title” displayed within the comments title. I wanted it to be for example: 6 User Comments. But I faild.

The default comment.php was replaces. that makes it very hard to me.

Can you please help me?
Thank you

Hi;

Sorry for the inconvenient.

My problem got solved, Thanks

Actually … I spoke too soon. I’m having a problem with comments: it seems it won’t recognize any input in the name field. I had name and email set as required, but whenever anyone tried to submit a comment, it tells them to go back and fill in the required fields, even if they already did. I set it not to require name and email just so comments would go through, but I’m still having a problem with the name field, because no names show up with the comment or in the email notifications I get.

This is a problem that started when I installed the (outstanding) deCoder theme; do you know what the problem might be?

Let me ask again:

Is it possible to add a “Previous post - next post” link at the single.php above the post title? I tried to add the corresponding WP-Tag as explained in WP Codex, but it does not appear…

@Burrill:
Nevermind. Happy you could fix your problem

@Edd:
Sorry for late response. As I could see on your site, the problem is fixed

@ Simon…
yes Simon, a friend of mine checked the theme, and found something that was not close (lol)
don’t know where…
well… the problem is fixed… BUT… just in the index… if scroll down and click OLDER ENTRIES (entradas anteriores) and check page 2… U’ll see that the problem now is there :S…

http://animeshinta.com/page/2/

this also occurs when U select the “Anime” category in the menu :S

http://animeshinta.com/category/anime/

help

WOW nice job … I like this theme!

Thanks for sharing.
Joachim

@Colombo:
You can set a static front page in the WP settings. Please see the WordPress Codex.

@Miguel:
This is actually a bug. The theme is designed for threaded comments. You can make them work in WP admin > settings > discussion. Please see WordPress Codex.

@Henry:
Thanks Henry, happy you like the theme I’m not sure if I get you right. Actually the drop down menu show up on main categories with subcategories like on your category freethought where Global and Personal show up in the drop down.

Main category

• Subcat #1
• Subcat #2

Hi Simon

Great template and nice, tidy css (a man after my own heart) :o).

So far I’ve only tested the dropdown menus in Safari and IE7 but there seems to be a bit of an intermittent problem - only in Safari. Sometimes the dropdowns are very wide and sometimes too narrow. This usually happens when returning to the site from another one or modifying a post and returning to the site. If you click on one of the dropdown items the link opens and the dropdown menu is fine again.

Any thoughts on this?

You can view the test site here: http://www.shorebirds.org.au/test/

It will take a number of tries before you’ll see the error. Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking at this.

Simon, great theme! I love it and have been able to modify it to fit in nicely with my full website. I am just having one little problem. I cannot seem to remove the “Home” link. I looked for the code in the header and superfish but no luck. Thanks for the help!

@Ricki:
Hey Ricki, acutally I could not reproduce your issue right now. But this sound like an issue of the supersubs functionality of the superfish dropdown plugin. I’d recommend that you post your question in the jQuery Mailing List where Joel Birch (author of the plugin) provides support for his plugin. Sorry I couldn’t help

Hola Eric,

you were on the right track. Open header.php. In line 57 you find a list item that generates the home link:

57

<li class="cat_item<?php if(is_home()) echo ' current-cat'; ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ? rel="nofollow">">Home</a></li>

Just delete that line and you’re done

Hi
Danke vielmal und entschuldigung, dass ich nicht richtig hin geschaut habe.

Thanks for getting back to me, and for the advice too. I’ll let you know the outcome.

Thank you very much, Gregg!

nice and decent theme. i really like it.
