Thanks to the IEPNGFIX, you can use PNG-24 image (with transparency) as the logo in this theme and it will work in Internet Explorer. If you want to add new DIVs to the theme at anywhere, you should apply class=”pngfix” to the element if it uses transparent PNG image as background.
To make your blog looks better, you need to include a manual excerpt for every post (like my blog). You can add that while editing or adding new post. You can, however, leave your excerpt empty and wordpress will automatically make an excerpt for you, but all HTML tags would be auto removed.
Post Thumbnail is a square image of size 125 x 125 pixels, shown at blog index, related posts and search.
Post Image is an image of size 550 x 190 pixels, shown at single post page, below the post title.
To beautify your blog, try to include post thumbnails for every post (if possible).
In most cases, not all your featured posts are in the same category. You can create a new category (let’s say I called it : Featured) and choose it as the “Featured Category” at the theme option page.
Step-by-step guide to activate Featured Gallery
Some users reported that WP-PageNavi plugin causes the sidebar and footer to be missing. If you have WP-PageNavi plugin installed, you should either deactivate the plugin or remove the built-in WP-PageNavi plugin to avoid conflict.
Free theme support service has been stopped. If you need some tweaking or want to add features, please contact me. *Depending on the matter, you might need to buy me a cup of coffee or 3

@Free WordPress Themes, I found that the problem is in MSIE. You must be using MSIE.
The files has been updated now. Please redownload the theme.
Thank you.
Nice lookin’ theme..
Really love it..
two thumbs up!
Nice theme, but I can’t seem to get the animated gallery to work on the home page. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
@Velt,
1. Add Post Image to post while editing/adding new post
2. Choose a category as the “featured category” at theme option page.
3. Activate it at theme option page too.
i tried these steps and indeed can see the the div for this now. it’s empty however. it’s not posting any posts. did i miss something? thanks :)
i really like this theme
Very nice theme! But it doesn´t work for me. If I open my website, I can see the theme for a very short time…about half a second. After that it turns completely gray and I can´t see anything. Do you know what the problem is?
Thanks!
@Emperor, Did you change anything? What browser you are using?
@Emperor,
I re-downloaded it, same problem. I only changed the options on my dashboard.
The browsers I tested were IE8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10 and Safari 4….on all browsers the same.
@Emperor, WEIRD! I tested on my site, no problem at all.
Try clearing the cache and test.
Did you edit the footer?
@Emperor, download the latest version 1.1
Thanks for your help! It´s a bit better now…but the gray thing is still there…but now it shifted downward as you can see on my screenshot. The right sidebar is missing, too. Here is the Screenshot:

@Emperor, it did not happen to me.
What plugin you are using? try deactivating theme one by one to test.
I like your theme’s and use one on another site of mine. So I thought I would try this one on my personal blogging site, and thought, wow it’s beautiful. But the links in the footer do not give you any credit and go to strange sites. Perhaps you should fix this so people can find you and we don’t have freaky links in our footer.
.-= Carrie´s last blog ..Black Tide…”Shout” =-.
@Carrie, those links are the reason why this theme is free. cheers.
@zen: But there is no link to you, just weird links. Just letting you know.
Oh and another cool thing you could think of doing is having an option to either just show excerpts of posts like it is now, or have whole posts show up (unless someone uses the more code) etc.? I would do it myself but I think I would blow up something. HAH!
@Carrie, maybe in version 1.2 (soon). Cheers.
@zen: Thanks will be looking forward to it.
.-= Carrie´s last blog ..Black Tide…”Shout” =-.
@Carrie, version 1.2 is out. You can now choose to display excerpt or full post at blog index.
I need to change the ‘read more’ text in oneblog_btm_bg.png image, so which font type was used? Is there a way to change the footer’s links, maybe a donation could solve this?
@Menezes, that font is Calibri. cheers.
I
Thank for the theme
one question :
Where delete the Links on the Footerbar ?

Thank !
@Zanto, this is a free theme so you can’t remove it.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the great theme! I do want to point out 2 small errors. First, in the highlight section, the comment tally always shows up at 40 instead of showing the actual number of comments. Second, the “follow me on twitter” link on the sidebar does not link correctly. However, the twitter info that displays on the bottom is correct. These aren’t major issues, but I thought you might like to know. Again, this is a great theme. I appreciate you making available!
@ben, thanks. fixed that in version 1.1.1. You can download it now.
No one told me about those careless mistakes :(
nice theme. great job!
however, it would be great if HTML was supported and not just plain text in the article summary. I want to show a video preview but it’s not possible the way it is now.
@lavell, it is possible. You did not specify manual excerpt for your post.
If you let wordpress make an auto excerpt for your post, all HTML were removed.
But if you specify a manual excerpt in your post, you can use HTML.
Cheers.
I really like this theme, but I can’t use it with site wide spam in the footer. Is there an option to buy a version without them?
How can I have nested comment like your site?
I checked “Enable threaded (nested) comments 5 levels deep” in Dashboard –> Settings –> Discussion . But it didn’t work for me.
@Phi Tùng, frankly I don’t know whats that option (Enable threaded (nested) comment….) for.
I use WordPress Thread Comments. Cheers :)
I‘m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!
Is it possible to display only group of thumbnails on the index with links to the full post?
Good job! THANKS! You guys do a great blog, and have some great contents. Keep up the good work.
best regards,
great ,thanks for share content.
Good job,nice themes
I’ve installed the theme… but i’ve one problem: how can i replace the name of my blog with the logo?
Nice job!
You can do it at admin panel > appearance > theme options.
Thanks brother was very nice of page

Very Cool.I will told my friend about this. Thanks!
Hey Zen,
I am using your theme. It’s really cool. I edited many portions of it. (ohh.. Don’t worry, I never touch Copyright).
People, please see the changes at http://www.ijustutter.com and give some output here. (I am not spamming)
Changes I made:
1. Added WP125 Ad Management and removed the embedded one (as default one was always above all sidebar.
2. The Social Bookmarkings :-)
3. The Menu. The Biggest Headache. Removed the default one and added Custom support to theme. Took whole 1 Days.
4. Twitter new one.
If someone wants help in these above areas, I can. :-)
Thank you Zen for such a great work.
And yeah,
Didn’t have much so donated whatever I had in PayPal.
Thanks.

Greetings,
I previously contacted on zenverse email Id but mail are bouncing. I am using revival from long. I have changed the total feel & functions of the theme. I wanted to know is there any chance that I can remove copyright (say for small donations) or something like that.
Let me know.
God Bless
One of the best theme, I have used it soo long for my Movies blog.
