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

Fervens Theme

Fervens is the name for the new theme i made for my friends from Smashing Magazine. What is Fervens and what does it mean? As you might know, I give all my themes Latin names because I believe they are more practical and more brandable.  They just feel right to me.

Fervens is a 3 column theme that has a base idea of “freshness”. Summer is my favorite time of year as it always amazes us with a rainbow of sensation and colors, making this time of year the best of all.  The green of the plants and trees, the blue of the water….I love this time of year :)

I tried with this new theme to get something from that “freshness” and make it work on the web, specifically on wordpress, my favorite(and hands down the greatest) blog platform. Because I couldn’t agree with Vitaly regarding the column positions we decided to make 3 versions of it, Fervens A (Sidebar 1, Central Column, Sidebar 2), Fervens B (Sidebar 1, Sidebar 2, Central Column) and Fervens C (Central Column, Sidebar 2, Sidebar 1).

Main features of the theme

  • 3 columns of fixed width
  • widget-ready — two sidebars (both sidebars are supporting widgets, but I recommend to use the smaler one.
  • the theme is using 3 plugins; 2 of them are integrated into functions.php, so there is no need to install them. These plugins are Gravatar, Recent Comments and FlickrRSS. You can use the last one to present your Flickr images in a Flickr Photostream (see the demo).

Download the themes for free!

You can use the theme for all your projects for free and without any restrictions. However, it’s forbidden to sell or redistribute the theme without both designer’s and Smashing Magazine’s permission — please link to this article if you would like to spread the word. You may modify the theme as you wish, but if you are planning to release your modification, please ask for a permission first.

Enjoy.

@Update 08.09.2008

The flickr rss is not running propperly.

Go on Administration Panel > Settings > flickrRSS and you will see 2 inputs for HTML Wrapper.
Place in the first box <li> and close it in the second one </li>

Hi,

Thanks for your wonderful work!
Just amazing.

I cannot really use it as the fixed width nd the laaaarge sidebars make long articles very hard to read.

Fluid width is not possible I guess…

Cheers,
Julien

I feel dumb for asking this… but hopefully you can steer me in the right direction.

I love this theme – so much so that I am attempting to switch from blogger to word press to use it. I would love to use this theme on my newly created word press blog. How do I do this? It looks like I cannot upload files to word press. Do I need to host it somewhere else?

Thanks for your time.

For Mat :

you can edit About section from “Design” – “Edit Theme” – click on “sidebar 1 (or 2)” and edit manually the code.

For Usk :

Make you sure the destination of the files of the theme on the server….the destination must be “root”/wp-content/themes/fervens-x by default…. no others subdirectories for the theme…i had the same problem
installing the theme from the utility of wordpress….upload the files directly through http://ftp….

excuse me for my english :o)

I’m having the same problem as Roman with the Flickr-stream. It shows the default Flickr-thumbnails but doesn’t apply any CSS to it (although the CSS is unchanged and seems correct in the CSS-file).

Oh, and another ‘problem’: you think it would be possible to change the ‘Lastest posts’ in the sidebar to ‘Related posts’ when you get to a single post? I have a related posts-plugin that I can use there, but I don’t know how to make the ‘Lastest posts’ disappear on single posts and replace it. Any help?

Hello Elena! I can not express to you enough how much I appreciate this theme being available for free. I appreciate your tremendous work. Thank you!

It seems that no one else is having trouble with the theme, which is strange to me. If you would be so kind, and have the time to take a quick look at my site, only half of the green sidebar appears. Do you know how I can fix this?

Also, I activated Flickrrss, but nothing happened. I would greatly appreciate hearing back from you. Thank you so much!

Thanks. Got the Flickr-stream working properly now.

Is there anyone who can help me with the ‘Related posts’ instead of ‘Latest posts’ on single post-level? My guess would be to use conditional tags, but I can’t seem to figure it out myself. Please help.

Hi There,

Ferevens is an absolutely superb piece of creative work. I really liked this theme.

I have been using another Blog platform and like others it does also have a theming support.

Now, I have some queries regarding theme usage.

I’ve ported this theme to work on my blog platform. I will be publishing my blog on this theme mid this week and I’m also planning to make it public to let as many possible people enjoy it.

Also, the theme has gone through very minor modifications on the CSS front for portability.

In the bottom of the page I’ve maintained the credits for distribution and download. I’ve also put additional credits with link to my blog for porting this theme to the new blog platform.

Do I need to consider anything else before distributing it out in public. I will publish a trial link in this post early next week for your demonstration.

Do let me know If I must/shall consider anything for ethical re-distribution of the theme..

GREAT JOB GUYS…

Thanks.

Love this theme – and Dilectio… trying to decide which one to use now…

Only issue I’ve found is with the Permalinks. If you use anything other than the Default wordpress setting then you can’t view OLDER entries that lie beyond the home page as linked to at the base of the home page…

It seems to relate to the inclusion of index.php in the permalink. anythoughts on how to get around this..

Update:
I just relized the erason the theme broke was because of an 600px width image in the post.

I fixed it manually by resizing the picture.
And if ever the plugin “imax” will be fixed for WP 2.6, then it could be added to theme – to protect it from breaking.

Thanks,
Tal.

First, loving this theme. Rocks my socks off.

Mostly.

One thing I don’t like is how it strips white space out of the comments. Like if a commenter wants to leave an empty line in a comment it gets ripped out when displayed.

Unfortunately, I’m not a WP or PHP guru, so I don’t know how to find and disable whatever function is stripping out those tags. Any help?

First of all – THANK YOU! – I really love Fervens ( I use A ). I just started Blogging and also fooling around with WordPress and this gave me the perfect looking start.

I am wondering how I can adjust the width of the middle part. I tried looking in the CSS but no matter what I try – it won’t change :-(

Hi:

as you can see href and style are malformed, the values need to be double-quoted (“) not (“)

If there anyway to fix the nag?

I’ll like also to thank you for such wonderful design.

Having a curious issue with fervens-c in which it is breaking in Firefox-3.0.3 but only on the front page.

http://alicious.com/page/2/ works but http://alicious.com/ doesn’t float correctly and bumps the sidebars down to the bottom of the page.

Very weird. Works fine in Op, Konq (not checked IE). I’ve had a pretty thorough look through and all I can see that is in the front page is the highlight (by class current_page_item) on the “home” text in the top menu. However removing the whole “home” option from this menu doesn’t fix it.

Do you know of anything else specific to the home page that might cause this?

Another more thing, am I right in thinking that trackback sends you an email with details of access of ie.css?

Lastly, I’ve modded to add an extra sidebar-3 so that I can have dynamic sidebar elements above and below the standard ones, only need to add a bit of code to sidebar-X.php and change number in functions.php and then use widget positioning tool in site admin.

Cheers, great theme, just need to iron out this strange bug.

Wie kann ich in der Header-Datei bestimmte Seiten ausschließen ohne die Grafik zu zerstören.

In dieser Datei stellt man ja die Werte ein:

Hi Elena, I am buildin my blog in wordpress (actually in blogger), and I chose the beautiful fervens-a theme. But I have a problem with the sidebars. When I use the “more” tag (for “read more” link), my sidebar go to the post bottom. Do you know why?. Thanks a lot for this beatiful theme.

This only happens in the index page, because in all other pages it’s working fine.

Sorry for my poor english. :) !!Please help me!!

Love this template. I have a problem — I installed the flickrss widget to wordpress (I’m using version 2.6.3). I am getting the photostream on sidebar 2, but noticed I am getting an “extra” stream of just one of my photos underneath the about section. Where in the code can I delete this?

Also, how do I have Latest Comments show as the default? Thank you!

I think your design is great and I am using it on http://www.nunomachadolopes.com. I only have one question though, I don’t have the number of comments in IE7 but it appears in Firefox.

What should I do?

I found a websites: Jai Bhim Network. Would be worthy to link one here: Client Work. Because I think very nice designdisease’s modification. See this site’s bottom where the second powered-by-link is designdisease’s link. Moreover it is used on another three of their websites: Dr. Ambedkar High School, Dzsaj Bhím Közösség (I think this website is Hungarian language of Jai Bhim Network), Dr. Ámbédkar Gimnázium (I think this website is Hungarian language of Dr. Ambedkar High School). Magnificent usages and modifications! All four websites manage substantial content.

Hi,

Very nice theme.

I have a couple of questions tho.

I have Spam Karma 2 and reCaptcha plugins on my site but when I use your theme they both disappear from the comments section. I looked at the source and it seems the code for those plugins doesn’t get inserted in the comments part.

Can you give me a little insight into this? I do have a little php experience and have successfully modified a few plugins to work with other themes but I mostly do hit and miss editing and I don’t want to break the whole blog just yet. :D

Thanks, any help would be appreicated.

Hey Guys,

I just want to tell you that I just finished trying to implement a few other themes (one from WooThemes) and was very disappointed in the quality and detail of their coding. Let’s just say that they forgot to cross some of their “t”s and dot some of their “i”s.

Thanks for a great theme that came out clean!

If Gravatar plugin was already installed before installation of Fervens theme, then the installation of WordPress is corrupted by fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gravatar() (previously declared in /home/grunia/public_html/wp-content/themes/ferevens-a/functions.php:60) in /home/grunia/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp_gravatar/gravatar.php on line 15

The only way to fix it is to remove Gravatar plugin files manually from the server

Please advise. Certainly looks stupid hanging out there on my website. :D

Also, how does one comment out/change the color theme for the 2nd sidebar? Which code needs to be changed and in what file?

@admin
I’ve just installed this theme and compositio on my self-hosted wordpress blog (v2.7) and in both themes, my sidebars are pushed under the middle column..

So they sort of become footer-bars… Can you guess what’s wrong?

224

Avatar

@admin
update: I’ve just noticed that the problem occurs only on the home page. In all other pages, the theme is displayed flawlessly. Now I’m puzzled.

If I open any given article, the theme falls back into place. Whenever I get back to the home page, the sidebars are shifted under the middle column.
Thanks for this fantastic theme!

Hi, I’m loving this theme! So well made and so great to look at. I’d like to modify it to include some images – I’d like to have an owl peeking out above the Search panel (in Fervens-a). I’ve tried just modifying the image (search-top.png), adding my owl and making the image taller, but it doesn’t show. Have tried to work out what is what in the stylesheets but can’t work it out. Basically I can’t change this background image to one with different dimensions. I’d be really grateful for any tips!

I use Fervens A and love it! Just one problem…

Is anyone else having a problem creating captions when inserting images into the post? When I insert a image without a caption, I get a nice frame. When I insert a caption, the frame disappears and the caption is intermingled with the text. It’s hard to distinguish. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Fervens is one of my favorite theme. Most I like from this time is its color and customizable for the sidebar position.

This is a great theme especially for people like me who are new to blogging and don’t want to deal too much with complicated configurations.

Hey,

Thanks for a great theme but can it be made liquid layout?

I did give it a go but a div that wraps around the left sidebar and then content causes the right sidebar to drop down on a liquid layout when browser window is made small.

This is at client request so if someone provides an exact way to do this I’ll just forward cash to you as a donation. I’m interested in helping my client get this done more than the money right now.
