Today we have another free WordPress theme, original template designed by Styleshout. It features native Gravatar and tagging support, as well as 4 widgetized areas (one sidebar, and three footer).

I’ve downloaded this and am experimenting with it. I am a WordPress newbie. How do I add a page to this so I can have as many as there are in the demo? Also, how do I edit the footer - I want to manipulate the Meta, Archive and Recent Posts areas.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this great theme! I’m going to modify it, just change some colors and I will use for one of my blogs :)

@Sandi: There are 3 widgetized footer areas, so if you’re familiar with widgets you can drop them in. You can add pages to get them to appear in the top menu. Simply go to the Write -> Page menu and publish.

@ADYBAH4iK: Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks Leland for the response. I’m still tinkering with the footer. I wouldn’t want what’s in that area to be linked from the top nav, per se. So I’ll try to think of another way to swap out the footer content for now. If you have any suggestions, I’m all ears/eyes.

Thanks! This theme is working great on my blog http://hotfixamerica.com though I can’t get my RSS feed to work. Not sure if that’s related or not.

@Jay: Does the RSS feed work with other themes activated?

Does anyone know how to make the homepage a PAGE and not a POST page? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks, but the problem is that there’s still a “Home” page that is forced to say as the “Home” page. I guess it’s the way it was written in the code?

Go into your header.php file and remove the following.

<li<?php if ( is_home() or is_archive() or is_single() or is_paged() or is_search() or (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) ) { echo ' class="current_page_item"'; } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><span>Home</span></a></li>

Yep, just got it. I removed this:

<a href=”">Home

Thanks!
