New WordPress Theme: Red Delicious

Posted on December 29, 2008 under Cool Stuff

My first new theme featuring the WordPress 2.7-specific features. Hopefully, I’ll soon have the time to update my other themes. :)

Details

Red Delicious is a fruity red theme. Works with WordPress version 2.7 and is backward-compatible down to version 2.5. (If you were really desperate, it can work with 2.3 but I wouldn’t recommend it!) Background courtesy of Country Clipart by Lisa. Stock image for header by Creapril.

This is really nice. It would have been perfect for a teacher-based blog I put together a year and a half or so ago. Congratulations on another outstanding theme design!

  Thank you, Rick. :)

Hiya! Thanks for the theme, it’s lovely! One thing I can’t seem to work out however, is the comments section. Comments (and a link to add a comment) shows up on individual posts but when my blog is loaded as a whole, I get nothin. Do I need a fix for my comments template or for my stylesheet?
xoxox,
Tart

  Hi Tart, it is that way by design.

I love this design, but I miss being able to add a comment from the first page, too. I’m not sure people will be able to figure out that they have to click the post title and scroll to the bottom to add a comment.
Would there be a way to add a line on the posts so that the comment button would show up on the first page with all the posts?

Thanks

  Hi Beth,
  
  Thanks for stopping by and leaving your feedback. I will take this into consideration when I update this theme. :)
BethJanuary 8th 2009 at 7:59 pm

Also: I can’t seem to change the order of the widgets. Has anyone else mentioned that? I’m using WordPress 2.7, a fresh install, so I shouldn’t have it gunked up with anything old. Has anyone else noticed this? Or did you do this on purpose?
I love this red delicious design. We’re planning on using it for a nurse website if we can get the kinks ironed out. It was everyone’s favorite skin so far.
Do you have a donate button somewhere or do you just do this out of the goodness of your heart? :)
Thanks –
- NickiJanuary 9th 2009 at 7:22 am
  
  Hrm, the theme doesn’t have any control over widgets. That is controlled from within the WordPress Admin.
  
  Re: donations — I keep meaning to put up a button, you’re not the first to ask me that. ;)
BethJanuary 9th 2009 at 8:22 am

I guess that means that this function, in WP 2.7, is a little borked. Guess I’ll go over there and see if anyone else is reporting it.
Thanks for the replies.

  All of my 2.7 installations haven’t had any widget problems that I’ve noticed. Have you installed any new plugins recently? You could deactivate them all and re-activate them one by one.

I am having the same widget order problem on my new blog. It is something in the code and for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
I like this them though!
- NickiJanuary 12th 2009 at 6:19 pm
  
  Hi Tracey,
  
  Beth’s turned out to be a plugin that was throwing a wrench in the works. Have you installed a new plugin recently? Have you tried disabling all plugins and re-enable each one by one?
  
  The widgets are not controlled at all by the theme, they are controlled within WP Admin — by widget admin and/or plugin(s).
- BethJanuary 12th 2009 at 7:06 pm
  
  Yes, it was the c1? contact form that messed up the widget ordering.
  BTW, the Contact Form 7 is working great for me. Wish I would have started with that one, thanks for the tip!

    Glad to hear it’s behaving for you, Beth. Thanks for stopping by! :D

Hi Nicky, I have another problem. When I create a page, it cuts off the bottom. Any way to fix that?
Here’s an example:

Thanks

  It’s Nicki, not Nicky. ;)
  
  Check your post. I see that you have a bunch of font changes (size, color, etc.), and the fact that your sidebar isn’t showing up where it’s supposed to and with matching format tells me that there’s something amiss in the post itself.

[…] HATEing the current super-tweaked template, which I must change this week, however check out the original and see how much lovingness I put into it, still but changing it will definitely be //spoiler// […]

Hi,

sorry for my english :)

My best congratulations for this theme, I like it very much. But I have a question: do you know why I can’t use it in local on my pc? I use Linux Ubuntu and BitNami like package with wordpress, MySQL and PHP. This theme is always blank on my local installation (when I active it). Have you ever had this problem?

Thanks, Luca.
