Beautiful free WordPress Themes and designs coming to life...

Dilectio WordPress Theme

I made a new fresh wordpress theme for the readers of Smashing Magazine.

“Over the last year Elena, the creative mind behind Design Disease team, has designed a number of free WordPress themes, as the Smashing WordPress Theme we released as a present for our readers during our One-Year-Anniversary in September’07. Afterwards we’ve contacted Elena and asked if it’s possible to design another WordPress theme for our readers. Elena agreed.

After we’ve discussed the details of the design and the main aims we wanted to achieve, Elena started to do her magic. The result is a fresh, clean, user-friendly and playful WordPress theme “Dilectio” — a smashing Christmas present for Smashing Magazine readers.”

Dilectio WordPress Theme


Update 12.01.2007This theme is availble also in :

Got some problem using this theme on http://www.sosuechtig.de/ – no idea why it doesn’t show any entries. There are also some problems on the other “pages”, only the imprint works: http://www.sosuechtig.de/impressum/

Any hints?

Ok, when I disable comments and pings for pages, they work. One of these functions seems to be broken.

Ok, still problems with comments: http://www.sosuechtig.de/2007/11/28/iphone-fotoblog/#comments

Superbe thème.
I have prepared a french traduction of this theme. I found the same trouble with is_wpuser_comment()
Can you warn me as soon as the trouble is fixed ?
Thanks

Get looking Theme!
I would like to know why the sidebars are not showing in the single page. And the Comments are causing a error.
If you check out the test site, you will see I added a ad in the header. Let me know if you want to know how I did it.
I will need to fix the errors and tweak it before I use it for the main site. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks…

If you have problems with “is_wpuser_comment()” than just comment out (add two slashes “//” before echo) echo on line 32 in comments.php..

Problem: The FlickrRSS feed on the screenshots looked really good and then I installed the theme and activated that plugin and my photos look nothing like it. What tweaking did you do to get the smaller thumbnails? I’ve been looking through the CSS and it’s almost as if the css is not being called properly into that area.

Thoughts? Fixes? Thanks! Great theme too!

Search page pagination problem on http://www.rosecantine.com which uses Dilectio: when you type a word in the search box, for example “nokia” and there is more than one page with search results, when you click on page 2 at the bottom of the first search page, you do not get to the second page of search results, rather you are sent to a page with a blog post.

Can anyone help?

Otherwise, this is a most beautiful theme!

hello..i’d like to ask something out to you…

1. how to exclude wp-smilies from the dilectio’s default img class? i’ve already trying the .wp-smilies class but thats wont do it.

2. is it possible to use SIFR on your theme? if possible, how to use it in best way?

that’s all. thanx in advance.

To Rafael Ziggy and Esme Vos:

If you use the “nice-search” plugin, your problems will be solved. Get if from http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/nice-search/. Your search result page’s URL will now look like: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-wp-folder/search/searchterm. If there is reason for pagination, the next page will be http://www.yourdomain.com/your-wp-folder/search/searchterm/page/2/ etc… and you will get the correct search result page content. You can take a look at my site to see how it works, if you want. Use “cross” as search term, it should give you 3 pages. They all display correctly. Good luck.

Congrats to Elena for a fantastic theme.

No. Wallpaper was made after the theme.

Thank you…anyway i have updated the theme and reduced the width with 5 px to fit 1024 Screen Size.

48 @herospy
There is a default class for every image that is used in the posts. Remove this from css code.

/**/ * html .PostContent p img {} /* */
.PostContent p img { max-width: 420px;}
.PostContent p img { width:expression(this.width > 420 ? “420px” : this.width); }
.PostContent img { margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; border:solid 1px #495b6b;}

50 @herospy
I won’t center it. I like it the way it is. :d

51 @Wahab
? Don’t get it.

55 @khris
There is a default class for every image that is used in the posts. Remove this from css code.

/**/ * html .PostContent p img {} /* */

.PostContent img { margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; border:solid 1px #495b6b;}

58 @Esme Vos
I will do another page for that…but this isn’t suppose to happen.

60 @paskal

/**/ * html .PostContent p img {} /* */
.PostContent p img { max-width: 420px;}

.PostContent img { margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; border:solid 1px #495b6b;}

For the second problem i don’t advise it. It’s a bit complicated allready.

66 @Gift Seeker
I test it and it’s working. Please make sure you press the arrow and not the search text. :D

BTW, Did you know that Spanish Goverment has used the theme for an offer to young people and they didn’t accomodate to the license?

but they have made the changes afterwards due this notice at meneame.net

they tear apart the disclaimer at the footer but when they saw the post at meneame made the changes to respect the license

I absolutely love this template but I noticed a small glitch that happens when you click a category. (It happens on the demo as well.) If there is a link in the post it disappears if someone clicks one of the categories. In the demo I noticed it when you click uncategorized, second page, post titled “A post with links and 3 pages within”. But in general that happens to all my posts with links if a visiter just clicks any category that may have a link.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Awesome job on this theme, but since I just can’t leave well enough alone, I had to do some modifications to the template to match my site (linked above).

Your CSS was lovely (well, as lovely as CSS can be) to edit, which made the whole process much less painful than it could have been!

Hi Elena,

I really love your themes and have used three of them for my blogs.

http://www.celebfluff.com/ – Dilectio
http://www.emily2u.com/ – GossipCity
http://www.mymovieland.net/ – Smashing Theme

However, I have issues with my SEARCH function for all three blogs. I have tried using “Nice Search” plug-in but it does not work.

I typed in obvious words that are in my blogs, but I sometimes get a “The webpage cannot be found” or “404 – Not Found
Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”

Also, I get “The webpage cannot be found” when I use SEARCH from inner pages, example, from Archives or Categories.

I hope that you can help me with this as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am running FF 2 with 1024×768 resolution and there seems to exist a horizontal scrollbar for the theme even in the demo.. Could this be fixed, since it doesn’t make the theme look good?

To Vijay: You can try to adjust following settings in wp-content\themes\dilectio\style.css:

#bgcontainer – width: 999px
.Header – width: 999px
.CON – width: 969px
.Footer – width: 969px

I quickly tried that, but can’t guarantee that it will not mess up alignment of various elements in the theme.

I absolutely *love* the theme and am running it now on my blog.

Two things:

1) the width is fixed but I still get a horizontal scroll bar when I’m running 1024×768 resolution. How would I re-size the whole thing by a pixel or two?

2) I’m thinking of changing the “about this blog” section to an “about this post” section when folks come to an individual or search entry. I’ll share code and links when/if I do.

Thx for making such a great theme!

I looks like formatting within comments is a bit wonky. You can’t get bulleted lists – and as I mentioned before, you blockquotes seem to eliminate any line returns within the blockquote.

I’m helping a friend set up her WP blog and we’re using the Dilectio WP Theme. Everything is going well except there is a repeating text error we simply can’t fix. If you surf to the site (www.theparvebaker.com) and look at the “Weekly Torah Morsel” sidebar, you’ll see that in Firefox everything looks good, but in IE the text is randomly blocked out with orange. If you use your mouse to highlight these blocked out parts, the text suddenly appears.

Do you know how to fix this? Please help, we’re at our wit’s end!

Hello, thanx for great theme.

There is small bug: there is no pagination appears after pressing any tag. It lists only 10 (or defined number) of related posts even if there are much more posts fot this tag.

For example http://hinkal.ru/tag/dagestan/
There are 24 posts for tag “daghestan” at the moment but shows only 10 of them. Is there any idea how to fix this?

do you have any idea what the matter is and how to fix it?

. some selectors in the css file like (.TrackList) are not used

WordPress 2.6 is now available so I was wondering if the Dilectio Theme works with it… Is it okay to upgrade from WordPress 2.5.1 to 2.6 and still keep using your amazing theme?

143

Hi, first of all thanks for the theme.

Do you plan to release an update for the new WP 2.6? The new gallery feature is very cool…

You could have some kind of fee or club to give updates and support for subscivers. Just an idea.

Thanks

I switched to this theme and love it. It’s fabulous.

One question. The theme comes with google ads, but it’s not clear how we as users are benefiting from this, as we didn’t sign up for it, so the click/sales aren’t coming to us as blog owners. How can this be rectified?

Thanks

Also, sorry I forgot to ask another question. I run a community blog, so I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the command work where when you click on an author’s name, and it pulls up all of their posts, or at leasts links to their own personal website. As of now the authors’ names are unlinked.

Thanks!

Hi there, I would like to use this theme but am hoping to change/edit some of the images and colors. I have had a look around the site and have not found any reference to whether this is permitted..? I will, of course, leave all references and links to you in tact and provide credit where it is due. Please advise.

Thanks for making such a stunning theme.

@Mike Ndegwa to edit the sponsored listings go to Dahboard > Design > Theme Editor > Sidebar.php and find line. It begins the AdSense code which you may edit, delete or replace the google_ad_client to your AdSense client number to display your ads.

I am still waiting for some response about my problem with showing 6 times the Meta panel. How to fix this?

LOL.. I was just going through this theme and playing around with the comments form because captcha was aligned below the post button.. and then i saw it. The innocuous little comment “// if you delete this the sky will fall on your head”…roflmao.. that has got to the funniest thing I have seen all day.. even funnier than watching news anchors comment on current politics.

Its indicative of a bug that perhaps took you ages to discover and when you finally found it, you added that cheeky little comment in..

@Speener Wow, so i guess i shouldnt waste more time and hire someone to look into the theme code and do it that way. Kind of sucks.
I was expecting a little more help from the creators. At least say you (the creators) dont deal with theme issues anymore so people will not ask and wait for ages.
I still think its great theme thought.

Regarding my previous post: The authors replied to me immediately and offered their help when they get some time. Thanks for reading those posts after all.
Regarding my issue: its embarrassing to say, but sth went wrong when i updated WordPress and i had 6 META widgets and thats why i sow 6 times “Login, Entries, Comments, WordPress” panel. I didnt checked it before and that was my issue. So terrible me.
Ok, thx for this theme, i will continue to use it, its great :) and it works well again ;)

I am having the same issue as Tracy…

I absolutely love this template but I noticed a small glitch that happens when you click a category. (It happens on the demo as well.) If there is a link in the post it disappears if someone clicks one of the categories. In the demo I noticed it when you click uncategorized, second page, post titled “A post with links and 3 pages within”. But in general that happens to all my posts with links if a visiter just clicks any category that may have a link.

Any solutions for this? My blog is currently up on a test server at:

Replace:

<form action="" method="post">

<form id="search" action="/">
<input type="text" value="" name="s" class="keyword" />

<input name="submit" type="image" class="search" title="Search" src="/images/ButtonTransparent.png" alt="Search" />

Its a fast fix – works for me.

OK – no matter what I do, Dilectio theme shows up just beautifully in Firefox – but looks just terrible in IE Explorer?

The image icon that displays the date of the post is pushed over towards the right in IE only – and covers up part of the posting headline and some of the other items like the author and category.

I’ve tried disabling all plug-ins, I’ve tried turning all all extra things on the sidebars – still can’t get it fixed? Does anyone have ANY idea or had this experience with it?

180

Avatar

Oh – I might add – I did a fresh download and upload of the theme to see if THAT would fix it, but it did not. When I see the theme used by other folks – it’s working and displaying just fine.

Can something in an actual posting cause this to happen (see post above)?

OK – never mind. Managed to repair it all on my own. Had sometihing to do with a WordPress file that got corrupted. Nothing to do with the theme (or any other theme, for that matter!).

I’m using this gorgeous theme on my daughter’s Journey through Leukemia site. I did change it to a two column version to focus on the content a bit more.

Problems:
As mentioned in another comment, images are a bit odd at times. Example of a post with an image and no text Example of funkiness with an image used as a divider – this one also required an in-post border=none even though the CSS for img states that already.

Do you have any suggestions as to why this would be happening? I’m fairly fluent in CSS and WordPress but this one has me stumped.

Many thanks for sharing your excellent design and continued support of the theme.

Hi, I have been using your theme since May and I love it! I’ve made a few stylistic changes to meet the needs of my blog and my preferences. However, I recently noticed that it is reacting wrong in I.E. 7: the sidebars end up on the bottom only in the single post view; the other pages and the main page shows the sidebar normally.

I normally use firefox 3.0.5 and don’t see any problems. I’ve been scanning the code and trying to find the problem without success. Any suggestions?

See a sample problem post (only in I.E. 7) here.

Elena, 3 hours of searching and I’ve finally figured out it was a plugin that was causing the theme to be off. Hopefully I can now find a correction for that! Thanks again for the theme.

For those that want to use WordPress.com Stats and are not getting any stats to show up, I’m no expert but it seems that you should add this code to the footer (footer.php):

This is used for addons that need code inserted into the footer of the theme. Such as statistics software! I’ve yet to see the results, but I’m confident this was the problem.

Ok so pasting that code does not work. Check the FAQ of the WordPress.com Stats plugin, apparently more people have the same problem.
