Today’s free WordPress theme is very classy and elegant. It is called simply Purple. The template was originally released by our friends over at Templatefusion.org which was coded into WordPress by me. It has a widget-ready sidebar and a few other interesting features. There is a theme options page to exclude selected pages from your top page navigation menu. There’s also a built in “recent comments” plugin which is displayed in the footer, along with the last 5 recent posts. Check out the live demo here. Download it here. Screenshot is below.

I user of my plugin (Hover) reported a problem when used together with your theme. AFACT it looks like wp_footer is not correctly called.

@Stefan: I’m aware of these issues. I’m going to go back and start redoing all of my older themes with these issues. Thanks for the comment.

With your template, if you have the plugin (Hover), it is missing in the footer this line juste before the : and after all is working well.
Thank you for your creations.

Yes, that’s correct. Just put the following before the closing body tag.

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>

Like that. Sorry again about the inconvenience. I’ll be sure to update this theme soon.
