Free Theme: WP Pixels

Wed, Jul 2, 2008

Wordpress Themes

The Conceditor WP Pixels Theme is my seventh free theme for the WordPress Community to use as see fit. Modify it, change it, colorize it — do what you like, but keep the copyright information in the footer intact (you may move my copyright notice down below the footer as long as it remains intact with link and all if you feel that you need to use all of the footer space for your own stuff). Other than that — enjoy!

A Few Words About WP Pixels

This theme utilizes no plugins — it runs out of the box. It´s prefect to use as a WebFolio, i.e. showing off your latest web projects (or whatever projects you may wish to showcase).

Features

WP Pixels is not just another WordPress theme — it´s more to it than meet the eye — it´s a real webfolio. Read here:

  • No sidebars on the frontpage, three different category loops
  • 100% CSS — easy to customize the look and feel to suite your needs
  • Hybrid blog/webfolio style
  • Two different custom page templates out of the box: Blog and Portfolio
  • Nice 100 % CSS menu for both Pages and Categories
  • Utilization of Custom Fields for neat image display on ALL pages
  • Built in image transparency for linked images
  • Customized excerpt loop for the front page

And more…

Installation

1. Get yourself a copy of WordPress 2.5.1 (or later) and install it.

2. Install the theme WP Pixels.

3. Create your categories and change accordingly in the index.php file.

4. Create a page for your normal blog and choose the Blog template.

You´re finished.

Using Custom Fields

For the page loop images on all pages uses Custom Fields. The key for the large image must be set to “Image” (without the citation characters and with a capital “I”) and the value is simply the name of your image.

Like this: Key: Image and Value: name-of-image.jpg.

For the smaller images the key is “Small”.

The pictures should be uploaded to the folder “featured” in the WP Pixels template folder. If you want your images elsewhere you need to change the paths in each of the instances that call for the images in the file structure. Find this:

bloginfo(’template_url’); ?>/featured/

and change to whatever place you like on your server. But why should you?

Different browsers

The WP Pixels theme works just fine on Firefox, Flock, Opera, Netscape, Safari and IE Explorer (I have not tested on IE 8, though). But, feel free to report bugs as well as solutions here. Creds will go into the stylesheet file.

Good luck and enjoy!
