Blogging Pro’s Theme Released

Posted on: Monday, Aug 13, 2007

Tags: , , , ,

#Source BloggingPro

Second Update: We have added a Widget Ready version and we are looking for support from WordPress.com users in getting it added to the service.

Updated: We have implemented some fixes in our theme, and so if you have already downloaded the theme, we ask that you at least download a new header.php (zip/phps) file.

The below zip files have also been fixed.

We have been getting some compliments on our design here at Blogging Pro, and a few e-mails asking where they can get our theme. I have been wanting us to release a WordPress theme for a while now, and so I present to you this design, Blogging Pro’s Theme as a free to download theme.This theme was created by Design Disease for Blogging Pro, we have made a few changes for public release though, including:

  • making the site information text, rather than an image
  • making the navigation text rather than images
  • removing one of the Adsense spots we have on our site
  • making sure the third column can be used for more than just advertising

We ask only that you keep the attribution links in the footer, and link to this post, rather than directly to the zip files, when spreading the word about this and other themes we will be providing on Blogging Pro.

The Details
This three column theme is WordPress 2.1 ready and should work just fine in WordPress 2.0.x. It has been tested on a variety of browsers, but we can’t promise that there will be no problems.It comes in two versions, one with the big footer like Blogging Pro, that gives information on recent posts, recent comments and most commented stories, and one without the big footer, and thus no need for any plugins at all.For the plugin required version, we have included a separate zip file that contains the three plugins needed. All three are from the talented Nick Momrik of MtDewVirus and we always recommend you get the latest version from the plugin author.

Note: If you already have Nick’s Most Commented, Recent Comments and Recent Posts plugins, you will most likely not need the plugins.zip file.

Small bugfix for graphical smileys, add this to CSS file:
.PostContent img.wp-smiley { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: none;}

Hi,
Can you please tell me how can I remove the Search Field from the top right of the theme and insert a 468×60 banner just right to the Blog’s H1 Title?

Archives and Categories were broken on my WP 2.6 install. I just switched themes rather than troubleshoot it.

Hi,

Will you be updating the theme’s prior to Evidens to be compatible with 2.8. In 2.8 it’s not possible to drag and drop widgets so they appear in the sidebar. Please help I love the blogger pro v2 and Dilectio theme’s it would be great if you could fix this bug.

All the best,

Nigel
