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

Splendio WordPress Theme

@From SmashingMagazine – Free WordPress 3.1 Theme: Splendio (With PSD Sources)

Today, we are happy to present a new freebie: a beautiful theme, designed by Design Disease which was developed for Smashing Magazine and its readers. As usual, the theme is free to use in both private and commercial projects. The theme is based upon the Twenty Ten WordPress theme and requires WordPress 3.0 or higher to run.

Release in Free WordPress 3.1 Theme: Splendio (With PSD Sources)

Visit the demo or a large view.

The upper area contains a slider where you can place extra emphasis on your most important pages. The main area can include the content of your latest blog posts. On the right side you’ll find an overview of latest blog entries as well as the latest tweets.

The upper area of the sidebar features five latest comments. You can place any widget under it as it is defined as a dynamic sidebar. Also, right above the footer you’ll find a Flickr gallery in case you wish to showcase your latest shots. The footer itself is designed in a pronounced blue, giving it a nice contrast to the rest of the design. There you you can place your widgets such as Pages, Categories, Archives, and others. A soft upper area, a useful middle area, and a strong footer are the essence of this theme.

Download the Theme for Free!

The theme is released under GPL. You can use it for all your projects for free and without any restrictions. Please link to this article if you want to spread the word. You may modify the theme as you wish.

Behind the Design

As always, here are some insights from the designer:

“Releasing a theme on Smashing Magazine is always a challenge for us at DesignDisease. A challenge we look forward to. Splendio is a theme where we try to solve the empty space that exists around most themes with a joyful rhythm of lines and squares, complimented with a light color palette. The specialized header images complete the package, as it can be used both in a static or randomized manner.”

Thank you, DesignDisease! We sincerely appreciate your work and your good intentions.

Awesome Template, I write some Words about it in my Blogzine!

It’s a very interesting design and works well as a stand alone experiment, but it’s going to be difficult to put to any practical use in terms of modification given the extensive use of graphics. I’d love to see Design Disease tackle a minimalist, functional and adaptable design for Smashing Mag.

Hello, love the theme but as soon as I add a post the sidebar is pushed to the bottom and the background wrapper dissappears completely (see URL above). Is it something I’m doing wrong? Or maybe its WP3.2 that is the problem? Please help. Thank you!

Hi! I am having problem with the, Splendio theme installed into the new version (3.2). The slider seems to be not correct. The width is overlapping the sidebar.

I try to fix it but I can’t find the source of the problem.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks,

Hey!

Thanks for that great theme, that’s exactly what I was looking for!

I have a slight problem with the slider though, I can’t manage to see it… and I haven’t found any option or anything in the settings, how do I enable it ? I checked the box to feature the article when I wrote it, but then it doesn’t appear on my webpage, maybye I missed something?

Thanks for this really top looking theme!

2 Qs – how does one get the ‘featured post’ to work?
- is there some way of making the images in the ‘latest post’ smaller when it’s on the front page? When they are 600 wide in individual post pages, they are great, but the ‘recent posts’ tends to run over the top on the front page..

thanks!

Very nice theme!!!

I have a problem with the Featured Article. It doesn’t included very well in its part. Text go out , picture doesn’t take its place on right… there is an outline for this ”dynamic article” .

Have you an idea about this problem?
Thanks a lot

Beautifully coded and designed template! One of the few templates I’ve enjoyed right out of the box. I was able to quickly customize the few things I wanted to personalize….but…I did have one question.

Q. There is a large white space between the main content and the footer/Flickr stream. Which CSS class manages this margin?

Thanks!!!

Fantastic theme!
But, I wonder why on my site the page numbers are not active and how to display older entries like your evidence theme? … manually hitting the older page link displays the same page as the homepage.

But excellent theme!

I had a little problem with the search form. It was doing the search using the current url as target, instead of home page. For those with the same question:

On header.php, at the line with:

form method=”get” action=”#”

change this # for

This way, you’ll have:

form method=”get” action=”/”

I have a question regarding the images and small icons displayed throughout the template. Do you do those images, figures, icons with a software such as photoshop or do you just get them from the internet? from like a free public image database online?

Hello, is it possible to upgrade to a more recent version of WP and WP Featured Content Slider? Slider styles no longer looking good ever since I upgraded. Do I have to go back to a previous version of WP and plugin for it to work? Please advise.

I really like this theme. Very unique. I activated it today for my blog, but after only a few hours, the HEADER shifted to the left under my main menu. I have no idea why that happened.

I did add widget for an image at the top of my sidebar widget area. I thought the image might be pushing on some boundary, so I moved the image under the recent posts widget, but that did not help. Then I removed all the sidebar widgets, that did not help. Then I removed the background color. Short of removing all my posts, I don’t know what else to do. Your assistance would be appreciated.

I took a screen shot of the problem, but if you go to my site, you should easily see that the header is in the wrong place. If you need the screen shot, please let me know.

Could you please add support for the More tag on static pages? Its so frustrating to see the entire Home page screwed up due to this one thing. I’m talking about WordPress.com as you can see from my Website link up there.

Thanks a lot!

The FlickrRSS plugin can only be used in Worpress.org right? Because in WordPress.com you don’t have access to the plugins folder. Sorry I’m a newbie in WordPress. Good job by the way, I’m your fan!

Hello! I really love this theme, but I’m going crazy trying to get the slider to work properly.

The site’s being loaded on a friend’s server right now: http://zion.leet.la:88/sigma

If you go to it, you can see that the “featured posts” section is messed up. The icons at the bottom are also somewhat strange, and the fade is all wrong.

It says in the documentation that there are two page templates, Showcase and One Column, but I only have “Default” and “One Column” available to me. Is that supposed to happen?

I’d love to use all the functions of this theme, any assistance would be fantastic. It’s so well-done!

I love your theme, and truly appreciate your work. One question though, if anyone can help. I use the recent posts on my homepage, but I want to EXCLUDE the most recent post in the list because it’s already the featured post. Do I edit the loop? And where would I find the loop in this theme? Thanks.

Love the theme but really want to remove the recent comments on the pages as well as the lower email and twittter links.

Mucor23 if you are familar with using a ftp client use that to install instead. Simply unzip theme and you will be presented with three folders Splendio, Splendio-Plugins, and Splendio-PSD. Upload Splendio to the WP-Content, Themes, folder of your website. Alternatively unzip Splendio.zip extract Splendio from that folder and then make a zip from this sub-folder and use WP to install.

I love the theme, however, there’s something wrong with the drop down menu. It appears only some of the time when a mouse is hovered over it.
