Download Simple Balance 2.2 – Xmas Edition

Simple Balance 2.2 is now available for free downloading. Although it was previously working with the recently released WordPress 2.7, now, the theme has built-in support for threaded comments (you can reply to people’s comments with a maximum depth of 3 steps) which is a new functionality added by the latest WordPress release.

If you’re running a WordPress version prior to 2.7, fear not! The comments section has backwards compatibility.

Another cool feature has been added to the options panel and it refers to the 125×125 right sidebar banners. Now, you can also add Google AdSense code, individually, for each of your banners.

And that’s not all! Christmas is around the corner, and so’s the New Year.

New color scheme: Xmas Edition

Why not give your Simple Balance themed blog a cool new color scheme to match the Holiday spirit? A new color scheme – Xmas Edition – has been added, raising the total number of schemes to 10!

Here’s a quick preview:

Upgrading from prior versions

If you’re upgrading from 1.0 or 2.0/2.1, all you have to do is to copy the new files over the old ones, overwriting those that already exist (if you haven’t done changes to the theme) and adding the new ones.

Once you’ve uploaded the files, by simply entering the theme’s options panel (Design/Appearance > Simple Balance 2.2 CP) the new options will automatically be installed.

Happy Holidays!

It’s time to give you blog a nice present!

  • Love the new color scheme!

    Merry Christmas!

  • Freebies are always great, especially when you could quite easily charge for this and get many sales!

    Nice work Alex!

  • Farrhad & Lee Thank you both and Happy Holidays!

  • Thanks ! That is amazing.

  • This looks great! One problem though, the right sidebar is not showing up on my single.php pages?

  • Jason, aside from the fact that indeed, that sidebar does not show, I can’t really find anything suspect just by looking at your blog. As you can see on the “demo”, the sidebar shows up without a problem, and also on every other server I’ve tested this version.

    Can you please drop me an email with these 2 files from your blog’s FTP:
    1. functions.php
    2. single.php

    And also, can you make sure you uploaded all files from the archive (rsidebar.php included)?

  • Thanks Alex. I figured it out. It was my fault.

  • Thanx for the theme. I like the whole over all layout

  • Good Work, Can you details changes in code, I create spanish versión of 2.1 version, and i can update this.

    I use in http://www.carrero.es and publish in http://carrero.es/nuevo-tema-p.....lance/2434

  • Love it :=> KISS (Keep it simple stupid!!)

    One thing i did want to add Alex: Blogs are looking more and more alike these days, sorta gimmicky. Your usual stuff from Woo, Premium etc etc..

    Content seem to be pretty much the same too (wp themes, guest posts, wp tips, etc etc).

    With all this spoonfed knowledge in the design world, I was wondering when you think the bubble will burst and people will start filtering out all this information?

    Don’t get me wrong here, but I’m sure you have thought about leveraging yourself and your services in the near future…

    Merry Christmas from Pakistan :-)

  • This is one of the best free Wordpress theme I experience so far! Thanks Alex & Merry Christmas!

  • Hi,

    I upgraded to WP 2.7 a week ago and wish to God that I had not. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to add photos to my posts anymore. All that happens now when I try to load a photo the screen goes stupid and freezez up on me !

    Best wishes,

    Paull

  • Hi Alex, I’ve test your theme and I like it. But if I insert image with align, for example left align, why it doesn’t look same like in the wp editor?

  • Can’t figure out how to access Simple Balance CP with Wordpress 2.7. There is no options section under appearance for it. Thanks.

  • okay I’ve done a little investigating…does this theme not work with Firefox? When I use IE7, I see the option and the theme changes. However, in Firefox, I do not get a simple balance CP nor is my theme changed. Thanks.

  • Thanks everyone for your comments.

    David Carrero Fdez-Baillo Most changes were made in “cp/controlpanel.php”, but there are also updates in “style.css”, “functions.php”. The old “comments.php” has become “legacy.commments.php”, while “comments.php” is basically a new file, but using elements from the old one. I think that’s about it.

    Ahad Bokhari Thanks for the appreciation! As for the blogs, looking alike… well, that’s the power of “free” and/or “cheap”. In time, the success of the theme creators you mentioned (and a few others) managed to attract quite a few “followers” and created a trend. It’s just in any other field. It will pass. There are very good blog designs out there, but most of them are created by freelancers or design studios as singular client jobs, not premium themes.

    You raised a good question. In my opinion, people are already filtering out content, and while on the surface it may seem “the same”, there are tons of factors already influencing the readers decision: from the choice of words and grammar to the level of details and info.

    I believe that at the moment, readers tend to look for new content on “smaller” blogs, as they seem more “original” in thinking and writing.

    Paull Hamilton Couldn’t say as it works well for me. I know there is/was a problem with the latest Adobe Flash Player plugin, when it came to the image upload script, but I’m not sure if that’s your case.

    djupi Thanks for the heads up. Problem has been fixed and theme repacked and reuploaded.

    Christy I have both Firefox and IE7 installed and none seems to create any problems, nor they were reported before. I’m using Firefox 3 (3.0.5) and everything looks fine. A friend of my said that on Firefox 2, the new WP 2.7 interface does look a little weird and “broken”, but I’m not sure that’s the case.

    Happy holidays everyone!

  • I figured out the problem as far as firefox – I had to completely delete my other “skin” before everything would show up. But hey it worked!

  • Thanks for your answer Alex. Happy New Year to you man => wish you all the success in the year 2009 and beyond!!!

  • Hey,
    Thx a lot for telling us about it. I use both wordpress and blogger. Wordpress has far more features like the theme shown by you but it limits advertising.
    I like your making money online posts more.
    I am waiting for such posts.

    One of your fans

  • Funny how many X-Mas themes I’ve come across since X-Mas. Typical.

  • i want to install this version in wordpress 2.7 but i have this problem:

    Warning: array_reverse() [function.array-reverse]: The argument should be an array in /membri/salmen/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 963

    how can i resolve this???

    thanks

  • I wanted to let you know that I love the Simple Balance 2.2 theme. It is a great theme. Thank you for taking the time to develop it and thanks for releasing it at no cost!

    I have a question about 2 plugins that do not function with Simple Balance 2.2. Both plugins do the same thing, they provide a WYSIWYG editor in the comments window. The plugins are Wp NicEdit and TinyMCEComments.

    Actually the WYSIWYG editors work fine for comments that aren’t nested, but as soon as you try to reply to a comment (nest it), you’re unable to put your cursor in the text box.

    Can you install one of the plugins (either is fine, I prefer TinyMCEcomments) and try to reproduce/fix the behavior? I appreciate any time & effort you can put forth.

    Thanks,

    DebtFreek

  • Would it be possible to select the featured article by marking it as sticky post? This could ease the selection of this article.

  • I got your website from my friend website. It is nice theme from your website. I want to have your permit to add your theme to my website. Also thanks for giving this theme freely.
    Regards

    EDKS

  • Salmen I’m sorry but I don’t know what caused that error and also, I’m pretty sure it’s not related to the theme but rather to your installation of WP and maybe some of your database/hosting settings.

    DebtFreek: I’ll try and install the plugins and test them, but from what you’re telling me it could be a problem with WP 2.7’s nested comments rather than with the theme itself.

    flöschen: At this moment it’s not possible because the script was wrote in a different way. I will investigate your idea though.

    edks: Please tell me more about your website and what you mean by “adding my theme” to it.

  • Looks awesome !
    Thank you.

  • I’m really loving the theme. It’s THE best theme around. Can I ask you how I can get the ads to appear right after the categories and before the recent posts? Thanks in advance.

  • I love our themes and the fact that you have a control panel to handle basic functions. Having recently moved from the totally free, point and click world of wordpress.com to getting my own host and getting going on the wordpress.org side, it’s nice to run into your themes that make life so much easier.

    PROBLEM: I can’t get my right sidebar ads to show up anymore. I was playing with different options and it eventually stopped showing up. I tried replacing the rightads.php and functions.php files but no success by just doing that. Any pointers?

  • Hey Alex. I would like to disable threaded/nested comments on my site. I’ve disabled them from the wordpress options (under settings->discussion) but they still show up nested on my blog. Is there something I can do?

  • hey.
    Im having a problem. When I click on a category all of the posts are showing up? not just the posts that are tagged to that category?

  • Hi Alex:

    Thanks so much for a simple, clean, highly usable theme.

    I’m having an issue after upgrading to Wordpress 2.7. Prior to the upgrade everything worked fine, but now, on individual post pages, the sidebars appear at the bottom of the page rather than where they belong. Am I the only one?

    Thanks!

  • Wonderful theme ! I’m really loving it !

  • I love Simple Balance, but is seems doesn’t work with Platinum SEO plugin. The title can’t be rewritable. How to fix this?

    I use Simple Balance 2.2 in my blog http://www.lovesomatic.com

    Thanks.

  • Great theme and I love it! It’s perfect until I realised the same problem that edo is having, that the Platinum SEO plugin doesn’t work anymore on this theme :( Please help as I would like to continue using it, but at the same time the SEO plugin is important for me. Thanks!

  • Kristi Daeda I’m thinking that it could be due to one of the widgets you use. Maybe it exceeds the allowed space. Even if not visually, but maybe with a margin or a padding. Worth looking into it. And of course, the original CSS if you’ve tweaked it.

    edo & City Girl I’ll check out the Platinum SEO Plugin and see what causes the problem, but it seems to me that edo managed to solve the problem. Maybe you could share the solution?

  • Hello Alex; Just started considering your Simple theme and like it very much. The control panel is a perfect addition over most themes. As I am looking at the demo on this site I am not able to fill in the space at the top of the page as you have. Mine is empty from the logo text on the left to the search bar on the right. How may I get the use of this space? Perhaps by inserting a graphic based on the content of my site. Any suggestions on this? I wonder to if there is documentation on how to get the most from this theme. Something I would gladly pay for. Thanks

  • Stanley, that space that you see as available, should not be there, mostly because usually websites don’t get titles and descriptions as long as yours:

    “Free Yourself From The Rising Cost Of Home Energy – Try Using Solar (title)
    Stop Complaining About The Gas and Electric Bill -Try The Home Free Solar Method – DIY (description)”

    So, that space is forced by the height of the 2 elements mentioned above.

    A solution would be a bit of CSS tweaking in the theme’s files, and the transfer of the title/description section to the left sidebar.

    If you need someone to do this for you, drop me an email and it should be solved in no time.

  • Hi Alex, I’ve switched to using another SEO plugin that works, and abandoned the Platinum SEO one.

  • Hi Alex, love your theme, am working with it in a couple places, but have this common problem: when I go to an archived post, the right sidebar gets pushed down below the post, not visible unless you scroll way down. Ideas? See the link I’ve attached above.

    Thanks

  • Sue, I managed to find the problem and also find a solution. This only happens to blogs that allow comments from registered and logged in users.

    In a few moments I’ll publish a fix for this on the blog. Also, the download package is already updated to include the fix, and you can simply download it and replace the “comments.php” file of your theme with the one inside the package.

    Update: The bug fix has been posted here.

  • Hello Alex,

    First off, let me say THANK YOU for a great theme(s)!

    I wanted to add a border around all of the posts (as a whole) in all of the pages in order to subtly differentiate from the left and right side bars.

    And I also wanted to add some what of a footer on each post to separate the posts on pages where there are multiple posts.

    What code could I use, and where should I put it?

    Thanks so much for the help!
    - Jes

  • If i have do change to the theme,so I have to manually make the same change in the new theme?

  • Jes, you have to have a little bit of CSS knowledge in order to do that. The file you should edit would be “style.css”, but I would advise you to do so only if you’re up to it, or ask an expert.

    hypfx, any change that you do to the theme’s code has to be done again if you replace the files. Changes made in the control panel will remain even if you change the theme files, since they are stored in the database.

  • very good, thanks

  • Hi Alex,

    I noticed one problem: when clicking on links, all design slide right. About 10px. Then is returned. I saw this in IE 8 and Google Chrome. You have ideas? See for example – Preview Simple Balance 2.2

    Thanks!

  • Serge, that’s no problem. A website page loads progressively from top to bottom. Until it has loaded the first screen, you see no scroll bar, but when the loaded area exceeds the screen height, the scroll bar appears. That’s the “slide” you notice. It’s a natural behavior in certain browsers.

  • Hi !
    To begin thanks for this free themes, the best i’ve never seen !

    But i released a problem…

    I wanted to view as “content sidebar sidebar”

    put now, when i want to go back on

    “sidebar content sidebar”, it’s impossible…It doesn’t work =S

    Please help me =)

    Regards;

  • SeriesDB, I’ve tested this feature a thousand times with each skin of the theme, adjusting settings and so on. I’ve even tested it again, now, on the demo server. It works.

    Make sure you haven’t deleted anything in the CSS.. like floats, or the database settings.

  • How to divide a post into pages?

    Pagination seems not working with this theme.

    This code ain’t showing up the pages on a post.

    But while using the default wordpress theme, this works

  • Thanks for making this theme available – I love the clean lines and simplicity of it.

    One suggestion for a future release: more and more ad networks are moving away from the 468 x 60 banner and toward the 728 x 90 leaderboard ad unit. Seems like the existing banner spot could be replaced with a leaderboard spot that spans the middle and right columns.

    This would be helpful to bloggers trying to monetize their sites.

  • Great Theme! Help! I’m trying to put an image/logo on the left side of the blog. How can I find the URL for my image? It’s just parked in my image folder. Unfortunately simple design doesn’t allow you to just search for it and drop it in. What to do.

  • Hi,

    Love the theme. One problem. I can’t seem to get my image to insert on the left side. I don’t know the URL of the image, it’s just in the image file. Is there a feature where you can just upload it in wordpress and connect from there? Thanks.
    N.

  • I like the theme. It would be better if higher contrast color is used. Thanks.

  • really love it…

  • Amazing..

    I found my next theme for my new blog.. Just bought a new domain :)

    Thank you.

  • Hi !
    I’d like to have the “Subscribe to our feed” on the righht sidebar (top).
    And, I’d like to remove the “search function” at the top for having more spaces for listing my pages (not having them on 2 lines).
    What I have to do ?

    I love this theme ! I will used it for a friend who run a cupcakes store (http://yveberg.ca/MlleCupcake/)

  • Why not for blogger?

  • fikrine Ne, simply because I specialize in WordPress and am more fond of WordPress. ;)

  • Hi,

    Excellent theme, with lots of customization options. This is one of the very few free themes where customization is allowed even for ADs!

    Thanks a lot for developing this theme!

    (Apologies for not writing my real name in the “Name” field – I blog anonymously, and wouldn’t want to reveal it!)

  • thanks man…its a great thing.. will try it soon

  • not so good design.

  • so happy to find this theme and would like to use it for my soon to be released site

    a few questions:-

    1)what is the charges to remove the “Simple Balance 2.2 theme by Blogsessive – Blogging Tips” link at the bottom?

    2)Is it possible to change the width of the right sidebar, left sidebar and the content? Maybe this can be added as a new feature.

    3)Is it possible to interchange the sidebar? I want the one with butterfly image on the right and the one with ads on the left.

    4)Is it possible to move the butterfly to the right sidebar?

    5)I may need your help for future customization. To be honest, I don’t have a big budget(that is why I am looking at at simple balance theme). May I know how much is your charges? A rough figure will do.

  • Hello Alex,

    I am using your theme in my site but I got in troubles when tried to make it work with the Simple Press Forum which is in my opinion the best one for WP. I suspect that the problem may be some kind of redirection inserted in the php code as it redirects me to the home page when I try to get into any of the forums I created. I have already posted in the SPF forum and its creator also thinks it may be a redirection issue.

    Could you please comment if there is something of php code that it may cause this strange behavior. I can’t find it myself.

    Thanks in advance!!

    Javier.

  • javier.faus

    Ok I found the problem and it is a plugin related one so just forget my last comment here.

    Thanks a lot for this theme and sorry for the inconvenience.

    Javier.

  • I love this so much!!

    This is my first attempt at writing a even a blog so designing my own template is way beyond me. This design is so simple but makes my site look professional, inspite of my writing.

    Thanks a lot

  • Great theme and the links to you are Fab .. Thx Alex

    I’m connected to you now :)

  • Full translation in Russian language this best theme, include control panel
    http://www.wp-ru.ru/2009/07/06.....om-yazyke/

  • Great theme! However, I can’t figure out how to replace the butterfly logo. Is it in the style sheet, or should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks!

  • Hi-Like the theme. Thanks for sharing. Having a couple of problems. None of the Twitter plugins I’ve tried works. Some don’t show at all; others won’t connect/load tweets. Also, my Admin info doesn’t show even when the box is unchecked in. Otherwise all seems to be working well. Thanks!

  • I added multilanguage support to this theme (.mo files) and manage bottom banner from CP.
    For more detail please visit to this page:
    Multilanguage version Simple Balance

  • Hi Alex,

    Can you confirm if Simple Balance is compatible with WP 2.8.2?

    I am using your theme and would like to upgrade to WP 2.8.2, but I want to make sure first.

    Thanks so much for your themes and all your great advice!

    Hannah

  • Hey Hannah,

    The demo rums on 2.8.2 so as far as I can see the theme is compatible with 2.8.2, but haven’t done more in depth testing.

  • Alex–I upgraded to 2.82 today and then couldn’t see my right sidebar on the homepage. I played around with the mainindexpage code and got it back. Only trouble is that my home page post now appears at the end of the right sidebar and I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do..I’ve read back trhough the code…can you help?

  • Michelle,

    While moving stuff around you deleted the “end” of the sidebar. Under the Amazon widget you should now see this: div> and it should be </div>.

  • AH! Something so simple, yet so taxing!
    Thanks a billion. I love Simple Balance and will donate this week–not a billion, but something!

  • And another thing…

    I cannot get the AD banner boxes to show on all of my sites pages. I activate them via the Simple Balance control panel, yet they only show on two of the five pages.

    I haven’t sold any ads–yet…but now that I have 6 months worth of contenet working for me, I plan to…I’ll need to know how to show the ads on all pages soon!

  • nice theme.. but i think it can’t be called simple theme…

  • No please not the Xmas Colors. :)
    nice theme and thank you I have a blog ready for it.

  • Simple, clean.

    @ Larry
    I agree. The green and red are not my favorite colours. Blue is.

  • Great theme but doesn’t seem to work with PHP 5.3 (some reference problem)
    Any clues?

    Regards,
    Adi

  • Good day,
    I love your theme, can you make it in Portuguese… If you want I can translate to you, just show me were to do it,,,
    Regards…

  • Greetings from Venezuela. Great Work. I have a multi-author blog and I was wondering if there was something that could be done to include the “posted by xxx” beneath each post or wherever possible. Thanks very much in advance.

  • Under IE6 browser, the sidebar goes down, I would like to ask how to solve?

  • Hayden, this might help: http://blogsessive.com/bloggin.....t-bug-fix/

    If not, I’m really sorry, but at this time, I cannot offer any more in depth support for SB.

  • Dude! Your theme doesn’t work! Logo image doesn’t show in the content/sidebar/sidebar template, the theme is showing EVERY image from my posts on my homepage, and the theme option to show only excerpts of a post isn’t working either. And your lame reply to a WP user is (“I’m really sorry, but at this time, I cannot offer any more in depth support for SB.”)You know what: right now, fixing your lame-ass theme would be preferable… If you’re that busy, stop offering this shi*t and take it off the internet!

  • Your theme is not working. All my posts are not showing up and saying “not found” even though they show up fine when I switch to another theme. When I leave it in your theme it shows in the dashboard that I have 37 posts but when I go to add a new post or edit previous posts it also says “not found”. What’s up? I’ve been using your theme fine for 3 weeks and it was running fine before I went to sleep last night and now all of a sudden it isn’t working even though my site works fine with all other themse I have. Let me know asap. http://www.nsawins.com/sports is my blog url

  • Just a followup, I am running wordpress 2.8.4. I’ve been running it fine on 2.8.4 the past few days but today it is not working at all. I even tried disabling all the plugins, repairing my mysql tables, and reuploading the wordpress core files. None of it works, but yet my site runs fine on the other themes.

  • Mike, did you look at the permalink settings? Maybe something got screwed there.

  • Yes. I have left that alone. I have it as /%category%/%postname%/ I even uploaded a brand new wordpress and simple 2.2 installation into a seperate folder at http://www.nsawins.com/blog to see if that fixed it, but that doesn’t work either. Again, that folder also works with the other themese but not the simple 2.2. I can’t figure out for the life of me what is up. It was working fine all night before I went to sleep and now it just doesn’t work. It’s only the simple 2.2 theme though. Any other suggestions?

  • Also, my articles still show up fine on google feedburner. It’s weird.

  • Everything worked fine after that 1 day hiccup. Not sure what it was still…….weird. Knock on wood, everything is going good since…

  • This is a nice layout, this blog of yours, what theme is it? I would like to get a copy and modify it myself.
    thanks,
    Larry

  • Larry, this blog’s theme is custom made, so you cannot find it for download anywhere and it’s not advisable to copy it.

  • Hi alex,
    Thanks for the lovely wordpress theme you made simple balance > this is the best free wordpress theme i have come across so far. I have it installed at http://www.penny-hopefuls.com
    Recently i tried to get it conenected to a rss feed reader to promote my blog on twitter and it gave me this eror ” A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed” Is ther something that can be done about this ?

    Regards
    jeff

  • Downloading this theme for my Xmas blog. well explained with how to use
    Thanx

  • Hello Alex
    I am using this theme in my site http://studyinfo.whatelseonline.com but recently i found the most recent comment isn’t taking the last place rather it’s taking some random place and the comment i gave as a reply to others become an independent comment after that most recent comment. As a whole some bugs in comment section. An example: http://studyinfo.whatelseonlin.....lose_up_1/

  • Hi Alex,

    I have been using this theme for about 6 months now, and it is great… Thanks for developing this theme!

    I was wondering that since you are back now, would you be taking up any further developments for this theme? Any new features? Any more color schemes? (Maybe a “fresh” color scheme with blue and green? Just a suggestion…)

    Thanks again…

    (Again, apologies for not writing my real name in the “Name” field – I blog anonymously, and wouldn’t want to reveal it!)

  • Yeah, I also want to know of any further updates on this theme.

  • @BlogSEOExpert & @Navjot Singh:

    For the time being there are no real plans of extra functionality added to Simple Balance.

    Still, I am considering the thought of adding a drop down navigation to the top menu to include second level navigation items, and probably 1-2 more color schemes.

    Right now I am focusing on a new release that I’ve been working on and will reconsider the SB update after the new launch.

  • Fantastic theme,
    Do to much with, and keep information and media grouped and represented in very attractive way.
    Best Regards,

  • Very nice theme-Simple to the point-Love it !! One thing thou I want to move the rss feed and everytime that I do I get a blank page when I refresh, it only works in the position it is in ?? I moved the Search from the Header to the left sidebar and I want to move the rss feed to the Header where the Search Box was, can’t get it to works….any ideas on how I can do this.
    Thanks

  • @kendkoll:

    I have moved the RSS subscription to the right side bar from the left. You can have a look at it.

    Yes, it wasn’t very easy. But I strongly prefer a menu structure on the left, so had to do it! You should be able to do it with some trial and error. You can also check my page code – that should help.

    (Don’t readily recall how I did it – so can’t give advise right away. If you are stuck, let me know and I’ll look up the sidebar code).

  • I use it on
    http://www.homebusiness-master.com/Resources/

    I had problem with my post content. Why all the contents are bold? Is there anything wrong the style.css?

  • Because you have opened a B or STRONG tag while copying that content from Word (maybe) or another text editor and it’s not closed. So, it affects the rest of the content too.

  • Thanks Alex, but it’s OK when I switch it to content-sidebar-sidebar. Does it support WP 2.8.2?

  • Yes, Catherine, it works with the latest 2.8.6 too, as you can see on the demo site.
    I’m fairly sure the problem resides either in the HTML code you have placed in the post content, or a widget that runs HTML that has not been written correctly.

  • I am getting two of these errors on a virgin Wordpress install with no data. Any idea why?

    Warning: Parameter 1 to update_comment_type_cache() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\site\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166

  • I use your theme on one of my websites and like it a lot. I just want to ask if you are going to make something like that but very light. With one certain color theme. That will be opened quickly even by those users who use slow internet?

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for the xmas edition but i have a problem with theme. Do you know Platinum SEO Pack plugin. I use that plugin but after installed Simple Balance theme, i realize that plugin stop working? Do you guys have any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Alex,

    First, I’ve loved your original theme, and I’m glad I’ve found this update.

    My issue is that I don’t have the box that says “subscribe to comments” at the bottom, and every plugin I try to use with the theme shuts down almost everything in my dashboard. Any ideas what I need to do?

  • Thanks for this very nice theme !
    I installed it successfully but I’ve got one question:
    - When I click on the category, it only diplays the title of the post and some text but no pictures. On the index page I added pics to my post, they’re displayed, but not on the category page…
    Can you tell me how to display those pics even on the category page please ?
    Thanks again

  • Very nice theme!!
    Thanks!!
    Gracias.
    Best regards

  • Hi Alex,

    Way up on these comments there was a question bu ShuLace about how to place ads right after categories and before recent posts. I don’t see any answer to her question but her website is set up that way. Would you please let me know how to do that?

    Thanks!

  • There seems to be a problem with Simple Balance on Wordpress 2.9.1 (PHP 5.3.0), I’m getting this error “Warning: Parameter 1 to update_comment_type_cache() expected to be a reference”; Any ideas?

  • @Militaru: It was reported before 2.9.1, check the comments above. It’s not a WP specific bug, but a conflict with a certain version of PHP installed on the hosting server.

  • Hi everyone,

    Does anyone have a problem that your image does not show on the frontpage ?

    I was pretty frustrated with this.

    Found the solution when googling: change _excerpt() to_content()

    eg.

  • Hi Alex,
    Great Theme, Thanks a lot for giving it for free !!

    Is there a way of amending the code to have the thumbnails on posts and pages clickable for a larger image. I cant seem to figure this out just by looking at the php code so any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

    I’m just hacking at the theme a bit but you can have a look at the test site at http://www.arignadesign.com.
