Today we have another great template design by Rambling Soul, integrated into a WordPress theme by myself. This one has all the usual features, including native Gravatar support (WordPress 2.5+ only), tagging support, and a widget-ready sidebar. It also has a special homepage template with 3 areas to place your post content. All this is configurable via an included config file, which will be gone over in detail below.

And now on to the homepage configuration…

Homepage Post Control

In the theme directory you’ll find a file called config.php. From here you can enter the number of pages you wish to display at the top, the left column, and the right column.

RS10 Config Page

The variables used should be pretty self-explanatory.

Custom Thumbnails

This theme utilizes WordPress’ custom fields function to have optional thumbnail images on the homepage. The custom field key is thumb. The value should be the name of the image located in your /wp-content/themes/rs10/thumbs/ directory.

RS10 Custom Fields

That’s about all the extra features. If anything is confusing, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I’ll try to clarify it.

In the demo it shows asides only in the right column, how would I do the same? I did not see any fields where I could define what categories went where.

@Joseph: You’d have to set the query under “Popular” to include the aside category. Put an &cat=2 (or whatever number your asides category is) in the query code.

Why do all my images and emoticons have a boarder around them if I put a smiley it will have a big gray box around it. is there a fix for this?

@jd: You may need to comment out the following line of CSS:

.post img {background:#ADA5A3; padding:3px; margin:5px; border:solid 1px #999999;}

Hi, thank you for this great theme.

how can put “filled in: ” in the line “class=”postbottom”><a href=”">permalink <a href=”">comments…” instead of top of the post, correctly? I’m new to php.

Merci

How can I add articles to the Popular column? Also is it possible to make first post permanent and new posts show only in Latest column? Thanks
