Subtle for WordPress

I really like this theme but the whole layout seemed to break in IE in the previous version if all goes well this time I might switch to this theme.

How exactly do you enable Gravatars? I don’t see an option for it.

Bluesaze - if you wouldn’t mind posting some bug reports to the supports forums, that would definitely help nailing down the problems you’re having. Right now I test against IE 5.5 to IE7 (plus most other modern browsers) and am not getting any weirdness, so it would help to see what you’re using that makes Subtle go funky.

Tom - Good question. You need to have the WP Gravatar plugin installed and enabled before the Gravatar options pop up on Subtle. That probably needs to get into some kind of documentation, huh?

Worked like a charm, thanks for the prompt response.

Hey Guys,
This is a really great theme, my customer loved it right out of the box, I didn’t even have to modify anything. I was wandering, what can I do to support you guys?
Thank you very much for taking your time to release this.
Taras

Damn !!
I just finished with translating and modifying a little the 0.36 theme, my blog is online since 30 minutes ( that’s my very first blog or website ) and now I have to work again…
Anyway…. yummmm AVATARS ! That’s goooooood !!!

Taras - Thanks so much! The best way you can contribute is by helping out others on the forums and sending in cool changes you might have made that others would appreciate. It’s all about the community!

Just_Francesco - Ha! Well - at least now Subtle core releases will work with your translations without much of an update. Xantor’s already sent in a copy of the Spanish PO and MO, and others are coming too. Want to send in yours? Just let me know what you’ve got.

Hi Christopher
So, as I said, I’m a real noob, I mean just a week ago I didn’t know anything about wordpress, php, themes and so on… so I started simply replacing English strings with Italian ones directly in php files.
Now I’ll see how to create translation files, hoping to do a nice work, I’ll send you the italian translation. Stay tuned

I installed poEdit and I’m translating the messages.po file right now, no problems ( still )

Great theme, nice look, I am currently playing with it. Is it possible to line up the content to fit snugly also at 800×600 to save those with smaller screens scrolling sideways? Any easy CSS change perhaps?

why it can’t suport the ajax comment?

Très chouette thème. Peut on espérer une version française un jour ?

George - It’s not super easy, no. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible. If you’d like to try your hand at it, I’d love to see what you’ve got.

Shadow - AJAX makes a lot of sense in certain applications. Blogging isn’t one of them.
Regis - Not just one day, but very soon. We have some great people working on the French translation files. If you’d like to help, check out the support forums.

Hello. I’ve just added this theme. Unfortunately, when I update the show categories in the theme functions in Admin Panel, the home page just shows the message “No Posts Found”. Err, help?

Chris: you are a genius when it comes to design. ‘Nuff said.

One thing I’ve been working on implementing but can’t seem to figure out is getting the comment form to remember the commenter’s personal info so they don’t have to enter it in each time they want to comment. Is this a consideration of yours?

Ben - I’m always amazed that the creator of Unsleepable would even think of using Subtle… even if for just a second. Anyhow, the latest version of Subtle is using the WP code to fill in the comment form. If it’s not working the way it should on your install, let me know and we’ll begin the debug process.

Lemme double check. If you don’t hear back from me on this post then you can assume that it’s working correctly.

Also Chris, you’re a much better designer than I am ;).

This is just a great theme. I may adapt it for my next site re-design.

hey there, just started using this awesome theme. I have a slight problem, icons which i got from famfamfam does not seem to appear, instead it displays a different icon instead. what can i do to change this ?

yeah,Chris i wish i had your talent;oh well,i’ll just plug along and eventually get there.

It’s a beautiful theme. I love it. I’m currently working on installing and adapting it.

Each theme version is an update on the previous one? Or are they each different designs?

Ok, I’ve been playing with Subtle for a while now, getting comfortable with it. I’m extremely pleased with the design of this theme and I’ve found most of the code is very clean, commented, and easy to manipulate if/when necessary. However, I have found one css/layout design flaw [in Firefox 1.5.0.8]; the footer is not positioned with the flow of the document properly and is being pushed off of the visible screen area by exactly the footer height. Viewing the theme using IE7, everything appears fine - which is odd, FF is pretty strict on code interpretation and IE is usually more forgiving.. I am not running IE6 (standalone) on this machine yet so I cannot confirm or deny the occurance in that browser/version. Further, to verify this occurrence wasn’t from something I did while playing around, I perused the author links on this thread and actually found a perfect example on your wife/daughters site (http://www.veen.com/amy/contact/) as well as on another. The ideal example had to be one where the page contains very little content (usually without any comments) and the footer would be placed at the bottom according to page flow regardless of the low content height.

Hi. I’m very new to wordpress. I downloaded this theme, uploaded it to my file manager, but when i edit the theme in the dashboard>presentations>current theme options, “my theme styles” is blank and i cannot revert to the original header. Can you tell me where I went wrong? I love your theme best of all and would really like to use it.

Thanks for your patience

Hi!

I really love this theme. I have recently implemented it to my blog and I have a dumb question: The sidebar is divided in two areas, how can i use the one in the right in the front page?

You did a great job with this theme, and the translation into spanish is awesome!

Maybe it could use a bit more of contrast.

amazing theme, i am using it on my website. but would like to modify it a little.
i see when someone has commented the grey bar is relativly big. can anyone help me to make it a little small. and when the gravtars options is off it displays BIG sized Numbers. Can it be made a little smile and small

like a small one line insted of takeing 2 lines and a Huge number.
thanks in advance

It’s all in the CSS. Everything is mod-able if you jump in and start playing with it.

I like this theme a lot but I have a major problem with it. Every comment made is posted under just one article on my blog, which is really annoying. If I change the theme to something else, then comments are posted under their respective articles and everything works fine. Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks for a great theme! I’ve noticed in the subtle directory that there are pictures for marking new posts/comments with a little “star”, is this a function that can be inplemente somehow?

This Is one of my fav themes.

Hello people! I’ve got a question. How can I set the sidebar a bit smaller? It is too wide for my want. Please give me some help. I thank you.

thanks for the theme. now i’m using at my site
