Underground Another Cool WordPress Theme!

I`m glad to announce the release of my new (converted to) WordPress theme!
As you can see, this theme is ported from the free template by Styleshout.
Just like PixelGreen, this theme is “a stylish, 2 Columns, easy to use and with Widget Ready theme!” and smooth
All you have to do after downloading the theme:

Upload the theme folder into the themes folder. [ URL/wp-content/themes/ ]
NOTE:You don’t have to upload the Plugin folder to [ URL/wp-content/themes/ ].
Upload plugins files(from the Plugin folder) to the plugins folder. [ URL/ wp-content/plugins/ ]
Activate plugins (optional)
CAUTION: You need to deactivate the original Widget plugin to use the widget plugin included!
Activate theme

HOWTOs:
=======

To use the Widget Plugin just active “Underground Widgets” from Plugins panel and then go to Presentaion>Sidebar Widgets and start dragging whatever you like to the Sidebar!
Note: To use Related Posts widget, you need to download and active the Plugin then drag it to the sidebar!
To add a Contact/Downloads Page/s to the header menu just create a new page with slug name “contact” then edit header.php file and uncomment the line in the menu section( remove “<!–” and “–>” arround the Contact/downloads line!)

i like it, but it needs a “Read the rest of this entry…” for when the “more” tag is used.

Thanks Dj
Well “James” this is why you SHOULD use this theme!
If you take a look at the bottom bar for each post(beside the date and comments number) you`ll see the ‘More’ tag!!
I wanted this theme to be unique!
So I wrote(duplicate) a function to move the ‘More’ tag to the bottom!!
Which I believe you`ll never found in any other theme
at least the ones I know!

BTW do you think that I should release the current theme?
James on February 13th, 2007 5:55 pm

Ah, now I see it. And yeah it is much cleaner looking. However, maybe moving it to the left would make it more noticeable? My worry is just that people won’t see it and think the little blurb is all that is there.

Of course that’s just me throwing my opinion around. It does look nice. I’ve been looking for a nice red-based (but subtly red) theme in my consideration to switch to Wordpress.

And yes, your current theme is pretty awesome. You are a talented a creative web designer. I don’t see any drawbacks to releasing your current theme, except that maybe you want to keep something for yourself? I especially love the big RSS feed button.

You are sooo right!!!
DONE

I donâ€™t see any drawbacks to releasing your current theme, except that maybe you want to keep something for yourself?

No, I believe I`ll release this theme too.
I`m waiting till the next month to get some time to design a whole new Prof. look theme, not a funky one(this one )

I especially love the big RSS feed button.

So does this make you click on it
a lot of people do love this icon

Hi,
Why does the blog title and description not work with this theme?
I just get “BlogTitle” and “your description here” even though I do have title and tagline setup, and works with other themes.

Something to do with SEO Title Tag?

Thanks for this nice sharp design.

Because you need to change them manually.
As you can see the blog title has two colors, and this can’t be done if I would use the default BlogTitle function.
Anyway, if you want the blog title to be the normal one(with one color) and the description is the same in tagline, edit the header.php file and change these lines:
Line 29:
<span id="slogan">your description here..</span>
Change it to:
<span id="slogan"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span>

Line 47:
<div id="logo">Blog<span class="red">Title</span></div>
To:
<div id="logo"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></div>

But if you want your title to be in two colors:
And the second line(#47) and change the word “Blog” to your first word or part of word and the second word “Title” to your second word or the last part of your word(title).

Love this theme! Just one question. I’ve been adding a couple tabs at the top to go with the ones that are already there. I’ve been able to duplicate them enough so that they “light up” when you are on that page if they are linking to an actual “page” (as aposed to a post). But if i want them to link to a post instead of a page, how do I manipulate the code to make them light up? If I leave it as it currently is, they link just fine, but the visual effects don’t work.

Hi Nate,
Glad that you liked the theme…Well doing this is easy. As you can see I`m using the “is_page()” function to determine in which “Page” I am. So if you have a page with “id” number = 3 you just need to use the conditional statement “if” to see whether you are in the specific page or not. and if you do light it up!

The same for posts can be done with the “is_single()” function. See this article and if you couldn’t make it work just drop a comment

Note that the Archive button will light up whenever you are in a post page, so if you want it to not light up when you are in those specific posts, just add to the Archive conditions “!is_single(’x')” where “x” will be as the article I gave you. this way you are telling the Archive not “!” to light up when you are in these posts.

Great, that’s perfect, just wasn’t sure which function to call I guess. Keep up the great work!

Glad you made it run

Hi,

I was wondering why this theme doesn’t have the navigation menu in the bottom, the one that says next and previous page?
admin on July 19th, 2007 10:39 pm

Do you mean:
posts_nav_link()
It`s already there? maybe you are using an old version, check this page please.

Nice work with porting the theme!

I am trying to port one of styleshout’s css template as well. It is a time-consuming job!
