I love it..
Is a great theme..
Congratulations…
Tranks for released..
@Oscar – Thanks, glad you like it.
Awesome theme man! Thanks for releasing this under CC – am going to port this to run on my Blog platform :)
@Yuvi – Cool
Veeeeery good theme!
Nice work man, I love it!
Just one thing that bugs me:
My pages that I have set ‘Allow comments’, It doesn’t show a comment field below the page…
It would be great if you could fix that. But the rest of the theme is so great that I don’t mind not getting comments on pages for now. Good Job!
@Sean – Thanks man.
Did you add a custom field with the name & value of “comments”, to the pages you want to allow comments on?
No I didn’t, I just tried to use the default using the checkbox below the editor.
But I’ll try now and tell you how it goes, Thanks.
Okay, I tried adding a custom form using Cforms but that didn’t work..
If you have a link to a good custom field plugin or a method of how to get comments, I would like to hear it please.
@Sean – I found the problem, you need to go into the single.php file and change line 18, from
< ?php if ( get_post_custom_values('comments') ) comments_template() // Add a key+value of "comments" to enable comments on this page ?>to
< ?php comments_template('', true); ?>With out the extra space at the beginning of course. ie.
< ?Hmm….I just had a look and that code you said to change it to was already in there…
So I don’t know what’s going on…
I’ll download the theme again and look at the single.php that is in it.
Hmm…Nope, It’s the same as the one I already have…
Any ideas?
@Sean – Sorry, I will try and get a fix out as soon as possible.
@Sean – I have fixed it! Just re-download it and should work fine:
http://themes.dvq.co.nz/theme-files/FreeStyle-by-DVQ.zip
Exelent!, It worked!
Just the way you layed out the .zip confused me for a bit because of that _MACOSX folder
So I eventually tried not uploading the _MAXOSX folder and only uploading the FreeStyle-by-DVQ and It worked.
So thank you so much for the fix!
@Sean – Great :)
Yeah, But there are two other small bugs I found though.
1) http://h.imagehost.org/0708/Darker.png (picture speaks for itself) But it doesn’t happen on your test site…
2) when viewing a picture in a shadowbox, There is a white line that goes along the left side and the top of the picture. You can see an example here: http://www.zeroatoms.com/?page_id=39
I know that the shadowbox isn’t standard for wordpress so therefor I do not expect you to fix it, But I am just pointing out that it is there.
I am also sorry if you think I’m being greedy asking for these things from a free theme, But I want to help you make this theme more compatable to wordpress.
No problem Sean.
#1 – Is because the JavaScript in the scripts.js file is not working, my guess is because you are calling two copies of jQuery in the header for one, and also the scripts.js need to be called after jQuery. Which it is not because of the second time you are calling jQuery.
#2 – The shadow box issue is because there is a 4px padding around the images to give them a border, as you don’t want this to appear on the shadowbox image, you need to go to the shadow box css:
http://www.zeroatoms.com/wp-content/plugins/shadowbox-js/shadowbox/shadowbox.css?ver=2.8.1
and change:
#sb-wrapper img {border:medium none;
}
to
#sb-wrapper img {border:medium none;
padding: 0;
}
Awesome, The shadowbox fix worked.
I havn’t looked into the jQuery thing yet, But I will soon.
Thanks again for your help!
Cool!
This looks for all the world like OneRoom
http://web-kreation.com/index.php/wordpress/oneroom-another-free-wordpress-theme-by-web-kreation/
Although if its a derivative of a GPL licensed theme, doesn’t it have to be released under the same license?
@Chris – Yes, it does look a lot like OneRoom. To bad I hadn’t seen this before, as I might of been able to make my theme not look so alike.
The idea for the theme was based on – http://kaxigt.com/
Awesome looking theme and has a premium style too!
I’ve added this theme to http://www.cmstheme.net/theme/wordpress/freestyle.html hope it will bring more attention to this theme.
@CMS Themes – Thanks man :)
Amazing Design :)
Hm, I’m not sure over whats wrong, but when I try to extract the zip-file, Windows just complains about “X already exist” etc. I tried downloading it again, but gets same errors, is it possible to get it sent by e-mail as a rar-file?
@Kenneth – I have emailed a rar compressed version of FreeStyle to you.
Absolutely fantastic! And I twitted these same words, with pleasure!
@Leandro – Thanks very much :)
A very “warm” chocolate brown wordpress theme!
Hi,
What is the font used for the logo?
@d00d – The Font used in the FreeStyle logo is “Grandesign Neue Serif“.
@Matt
thanks a lot :)
Hi,
How to get search box in the sidebar? I tried adding the search widget. It is giving search button which is quite outta place :(
@d00d – You could try hiding the search button via css, the id of the search button is “searchsubmit”.
So you could just write:
#searchsubmit { display: none: )
great themes, finally my search is over
will implement on my website
I love this theme, but something went amiss when I uploaded it to my site. It seems to have all the graphics missing. Can you help. I have searched for hours to find one as good as this.
@Will – Try re-downloading the theme.
@matt I tried twice, but it didn’t work.
@Will – I just tested it and it worked fine. What version of WordPress are you using?
@matt I am using the current version of wordpress, and here are two screenshots of the problem:
http://www.willdavidstudios.com/Gallery/screenshot%231.png
http://www.willdavidstudios.com/Gallery/screenshot%232.png
No images appear either way. I have been trying other themes, but they are not working out that well.
@Will – I’m sorry, I don’t know what would be causing that.
@matt. Oh well, I will just have to try to finish the other themes, make them work.
Enjoy this theme, it looks a bit conservative but colors are very attractive.
