WordPress Theme – Statement

Hi, thank you for this theme, I like it very much.

Thank you for your work !

Vince

I just downloaded and love this theme. One quick note. I saw a few people had the same issue I did and I didn’t see if it got answered. Couldn’t see the numbers in my numbered list. Here’s what I did to fix it. I added “list-style: decimal” into the style.css. Now reads:

.entry ol li { list-style: decimal; background:#fafafa; }

Great Design . Simple, clean and simply beautiful. Nice Work

Great theme – simple, clean and easy to tweak. Thanks for making it freely available!

Awesome template man.
Clean and useful

Cheers!

How you can make Gallery to work !? You don’t mention anything about instalation, or set up of the Gallery. Can you please help?

Very nice theme !!!

Really Awesome theme 🙂

Hello dear,

I am using this theme from last 1+ year. I love this theme.

I have 1 question that I want to show the link on the homepage in the post brief…. How to do this ???

Please reply on ma mail if possible

I’m trying to insert adsense ads between blog posts in this theme and having no luck. Anyone have a tutorial that works?

Hai folks,

Todays top post only half of the day. next have it says “no post viewed today yet”.
early it was working well. what could be the reason?

Very cool theme, me gusta!

Thank you for this very good template.

best regards Andreas

Hi, B.O.B

Your themes look really nice. I appreciate it very much.

I installed this layout on my blog but now my strikethrough text doesn’t work…any idea why that might be? i use it a lot!

Hi nice theme!

I installed it but none of my links show up on my links page. any idea why ?

Nice and simple theme. Thanks

Sometimes, the older themes are the best – especially in this case. Statement worked out great on The Phantom Bloggers Thanks for sharing it!

@Jai:-

I’m new to blogging and have no idea how to that, LOL. Can you please give my details on how and where to replace the image.

Hello, I like the theme however I cannot change the statement logo can you please let me know how to change it? Thanks!

nice and simple wordpress theme, thanks!!

Excellent product,love it 5 out of 5 stars!

One of my all time favorite templates

wow i think its very simple to apply, i like it
thx bro

thank you very match

@ryan:-

Lol -i’m an idiot. installed the plugin in the wrong place. all good now.

🙂

If we don’t have photo shop, how do we get the Statetment Logo out and replace it with the name of the blog?

@Karsten Jensen:-

Solved……. Seems like it does not include the latest post – but only from the second latest post.

Would have been nice knowing….. *S*

@Karsten Jensen:-

No one who can can help me with my recent post that don’t get updated. what is wrong?

Blog can be seen on www.karstenjensen.dk/blog

I’ve made some changes to my blog in the last couple days (including adding Facebook Connect via Disqus, upgrading from 2.7.1 to 2.8.1, numerous plugin upgrades, etc.) and just noticed that somewhere along the way I’ve introduced a problem.

If you visit my blog you’ll see just above the link to the HOME page (top right of the blog, and in the footer) there is a white space. When you mouse over it, it disappears…

I suspect it’s not very difficult to fix, but I’ve hunted all around and can’t figure out what’s causing it or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nice

@Brian:- Brian, I’ve upgraded several days ago and haven’t had any theme-related issues at all. I’m very happy!

any issues w/ using this theme on WordPress 2.8? I’m thinking about upgrading but wanted to do a little homework this time around – I’ve heard of people having issues…

Looking forward to updates to this outstanding theme.

Very nice theme. I will surely apply it on my blog soon. Thanks for sharing

What is the password for this zip file?

The theme looks very smooth and clean.

I love te colours and lay out of your blog, i really want to get hold of this theme, what are you using?

This is a damn hot wordpress theme

Hey Jai,

I just downloaded this theme and there’s no PSD file among the theme files. Can you help me with this?

I’m having trouble with the numbered list – no numbers. Does anyone have a workaround to tweak the ?

Thanks!

Hello!
Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I’v just started to learn this language 😉
See you!
Your, Raiul Baztepo

Thanks for the amazing theme. I was looking for something for my personal blog and I believe this is exactly what I want.
It took me over an hour to find your website because I forgot to bookmark it the last time I was here. Error rectified!!

Hi Jai,

I like the theme, nice one 🙂

The only thing that I am concerned with
is the breadcrumbs plugin… how do I
install it?

I think it is already included in the theme,
but how do I activate it?

Another thing. Would you be willing to
make some small changes to it for a fee?

For example, I would like to have a comments
box on the top right of each post showing how
many people have commented…

Thank you,

Narek

This is an excellent theme. Clean and customizable. My affiliates will like. Thanks.

Hey, does this template cope with sub page navigation?

Very nice & simple theme for wordpress.
Thank you!

@Mac:-

You can make it wider. Just make sure to change the WIDTH in the style.css to match your new “logo.gif”, like so:

#logo { float: left; width: 325px; padding-top:30px; padding-left:10px; }

@Ilbellodelweb:-

Seems to be working just fine with IE6. What’s your version?

I’m sorry, but don’t work with Internet Explorer, why?

Nice, clean and simple theme. I luv it

@Tony Bianco:-
Were you able to get numbers in the ordered list?

What a FABULOUS theme……if I knew how to use it I would WOW!…

Guys, you do make great themes, but is there any way to add some kind of how to: make those little thumbnails showing actual picture…or how to add something in that black box on the right side, or how exactly to input my logo.

How about donation=guide? I would donate $10 for guide….

Any thoughts!

My test site for this theme is here:
http://train-your-man.com/

Thanks!

Nice and simple theme. Thanks Jai.

What do I need to change in the css To make the sticky post (wp 2.7) look diffirent?

Great theme…WOW! How do i get tabbers in the sidebar. Is there a plugin for that?

Nice THEME

Thank..

Trying to determine how to show only a summary of a post in the archive page.

Anyone else figured out how to do that?

Could you please let me know how to change the text in the logo.I opened the logo.psd file but i couldnt understand anything

Thanks so much! I’ve looked for a theme as simple and clean as this so many times.
Love you so much, Jai 😀

i got this one! very nice theme

can i delete the link at the foot and the blogohblog icon and put the desined by blogohblog link at my conteact page only?

thanks fanari for those 2 lines of code. 🙂

How do you edit this theme? For instance I’m trying to change the logo but my gif-files won’t work (and their size is 0 kb???)

Isn’t their a header.jpg or .psd somewhere to edit?

It’s great, I like Black/white color theme.

Absolutely wonderful, professional theme. Will there be additional revisions or upgrades to the 1.0 version?

Great theme. Thanks for you time. You rock mate!

Again a nice one

great theme, thanks

HI, I just upgraded to the latest version of WP 2.6.2, and then installed Statement. But the crucial “For each article show summary” does not seem to work in your template. Is that a Statement issue, or a problem with WP2.6.2. If it’s statement, which template do you have that does not have this problem that looks similar?

Thanks…

Hi, great theme and design.

Thanks You..

@Joff:-

hi there. on stats, are you saying that all that needs to be put in the footer is wp_footer() within the php call function, or is there something that also needs to go within the brackets? I’m having the same stats problem and not sure if I’m following your instructions properly.
cheers
alex

I like this theme so much I’m now using it on another blog! Thanks again Jai!

Can this theme install to WP 2.6?

I like this theme very much, pls tell me where can I download this theme for wp2.6 or the lastet wp version?
Thanks

hallo jai,
how i move down litle bit for smile on this theme?

Small bug: Categories with children display wrong in the widget. There is an extra blank line after the last child in a sub-category. See my blog for example.

Regardless, it is a wonderful theme. Thank you!

Very good theme thanks.

Nice theme.. thanks. I used it in my blog..

Hi Jai — For some reason I cannot get WP Stats or Google Analytics to work with the this Theme. When I use another theme they both work. The Plugins seem to be okay. Has anyone asked about this before?

nice themes

How would I put a silver colored “Search” text in the Search Box of the Statement theme so that it is evident to the end-user what the box is and also, how to make it disappear when the user clicks in the box to search?

Thank You.

p.s. how do you get your pictures/avatars here?

@Álvaro Degives-Más:- Why would Jai include all the other layers inside this .psd file? I see them there but, weirdly enough I can’t get to them… not that there’s enough hours a day to go there anyways!

One problem I’m having with this in 2.6 is that it seems to be clashing with the new image and caption functions. How can I fix this?

I have a question about the psd… What Font have you used for the Statement logo?

I finally found the plugin in the download file, thank you Jai.
Howerver, after I installed the plugin you provided and updated it as the WP hint,the heder navigation bar displayed unnormally.

Perhaps you can update the code for displaying.
Thank you

I have installed WP2.6,and used this theme.
It’s a perfect theme,thank you!

It’s very good !

Hi Jai,
Thanks for this great theme! I had been looking for weeks for an easily customizable 3-column theme until I finally found you. I gave you a plug in a blog post, in addition to your links in the footer.

Hello Jai
I am a php/CSS newbie. I have successfully got WP with your theme working with WAMP on my laptop. That was fun.

Anyway, before I go live I am getting the theme, pages and sidebars the way that I want them. So far I have added the author acknowledgement to the posts, changed my logo and a few other little tweaks. Not too bad for a broken down old retired trucker.

Would you please tell me how to number the comments? Where and what to insert would be great.

You have done excellent work here.

Regards
Squawk

@PleX:- I’d love to have this load faster, but I must be doing something wrong. I made the changes in header.php, but when I put the change in sidebar.php where I think you’re talking about, instead of the tabber I get that line of code showing in it’s place.

Any chance you could spell this out a little more clearly? 🙂

This is indeed a great theme. There is just one small tweak I would like to add if I can figure out how. The author does not show up on the posts.

Usually this would be just below a post’s title. Anyone have any ideas how to make this happen?

Ok, this is strange. It seems to work in WP2.6 if I view the site in IE6, but not FF3…

Would you be able to take a look and see (if you’re curious)…

Wow, your themes are awesome! Thanks

I think indexing is ok…but I will wait for some more time to see confirm it.

Another issue is, if the Post Topic is long, the side bar widgets might actually fall under the comments box. This is in FF3

To avoid this, keep the topic length reasonable.

is anybody else having the problem with mysql I described above, affecting the Recent Posts section? My hosting service just keeps telling me it’s a MySQL problem and they’re waiting on a fix; in the meantime my Recent Posts are showing posts from when I first started my blog (2006ish). Does anybody know of a workaround?

@nv1962 – I have no caching plugins on my blog, have cleared the browser cache, and have found nothing that looks like a cache in any of my WP directories. I found the plugin you were talking about last night, but how would I get that to work with this theme? (i.e. the box on the top right – recent posts, recent comments, archive)

Impressive! thanks for sharing this great template.

yeah good the theme very simple, and how I can change the background colors of theme, sometimes some people need fresh color for background, sorry if the question repeat again in here 😉

aha, found where “Recent Post” lives – corrected it in /wp-content/themes/statement/sidebar.php

Almost ready to drop my blogspot blog, only a few tweaks away… 🙂

Thanks for giving us such a nicely designed theme, as Statement. I use it on my own site and really loves it.

However, is there a way to switch the tab section and replace it with an ad or something else?

Jai, I love this one – very clean and understated!
jane

so many excellent free themes you’ve made. Makes it hard for me to choose one. heheh

Hi Jai,

Great theme, thanks so much for making this available to the community for free! Unfortunately the plugin pb-embedFlash breaks the tabs (meaning it completely removes them). Would you have any ideas why?

Thanks again for the great template!

Hi it’s a GREAT template. Just have a question here – my navigator is not showing properly as yours in test run; I can only see half of the folder icon, and the navigator of path (like Browse > Home) doesn’t show at all. If you know how to adjust it, would you please let me know. Thanks.

aww nice. thanks a lot! it s perfect now. but i need to find another contact form.

tabber didnt work on ie and opera. as i saw the demo works perfect in firefox, opera and ie. and for the other blogs it works fine. and i really like this theme. what can i do now ? it is not working good for me. the tabber is missing in ie or opera or some versions of firefox. help me. thanks …

(i tried it on wp 2.3, after i saw that it didnt work i upgraded wp to 2.5, and disabled other scripts(ads, shoutbox etc…) but it didnt work anyway)

What about validation ?
Failed validation, 9 Errors ?

I just want to thank you for this wonderful template.
Much appreciated.

Currently running on my blog, thanks a lot for providint this template, it’s a wicked job you did 😉

A+
Nico

How would I go about making the first paragraph of a post or page have a drop cap?

I was thinking something like this… but it doesn’t work for me. Any suggestions?

.entry p:first-child:first-letter
{
color:brown;
display:inline;
float:left;
font-size:78px;
line-height:68px;
margin-right:10px;
}

Good Theme ! =)

hi, Jai~~~~~~ you are always the best! Sorry for my stupid question. Yes, it works perfect now!

But I’m still frustrated with the logo.gif. My logo is much longer like 600. After I uploaded, the search box moved to downside outside of the black area. I know it must be somewhere on top in the body tag of the style.css file, just couldn’t get it right. 🙁

Jai;
Thanks so much for your help.
I edited the logo.psd and overwrote that file. But it didn’t work and I realized I had to save as a GIF and overwrite that one too. Then it WORKED. I guess that’s why both files are there, right? PSD for editing and the GIF for the site to use.
Anyway, very satisfying.
BUT, now I have a new problem I can’t solve.
My tag line is longer than the original, and the end doesn’t show up. (I made the psd, and gif, file wider to accomodate this). I don’t understand enough about how the files flow together in WP to know why this is. And I can’t even find what makes the Header background color. It’s not an image. I found H1 in CSS to use the logo.gif file, but nothing I can decipher that makes the background color.

Solution?

This is probably something simple and I just don’t know CC and PHP well enough (i.e. less than barely for the latter.) Can I make the logo.gif big enough to be the whole header? or does that interfere with the elements in the top right?
Thanks again in advance!

Hi Jai,
Uploaded theme but it doesn’t show my title or subtitle. What am missing? Larry

the <del> tag isn’t work…and now already fixed:
open stylesheet, find:

code {font-family: “Courier New”, Courier, monospace;font-size:1.0em;color: #333333;}

just add the following line below:

strike {text-decoration: line-through;}
del {text-decoration: line-through;}

done!

Well OK, since you insist: you’re a lost cause. 😉

More seriously, one major advantage of having the PSD file is the ability to modify the text, while keeping the subtle gradient worked into the background image. So, the most straightforward use for it would be to dive in with Photoshop or the Gimp, use the text tool to select the layer with the title (and subtitle, in a separate layer) and change it to your liking. Of course if you want to change to color scheme, you’ll have to do much more – but I think that’s beyond the scope of what can be explained here, in a comment.

You can try the Gimp instead.

Crispy, I like.

Jai, why my tabber doesn’t appear on opera web browser(but work on FF), after I customize the CSS. check my blog.
thanks before.. 🙂

ps: sorry for my b4d english.

Love it! Great design: clean, fast, informative, and pretty. One question: what’s the best way to set links (within posts) a little bit apart, e.g. with a (thin) dotted underline, to make them a bit more visible? I know as little as that it takes editing CSS, but that’s about it… Thanks in advance for the help, and thanks again for the great theme!

Yes Chris P.>

I had the same problem: just pull out the flash embedded videos of your posts.

If you try with pages without flash video embedded, it works…

I’m trying to get Woopra to work but no go. They said that if my theme isn’t “standards compliant” that the Woopra plugin would not function properly. Is this beautiful theme standards compliant?

Just a heads up I can tell that this theme has CSS bugs and has not been tested for IE 6 and Firefox or else you would see several things wrong.

1. The ordered list does not show up with it’s numbers

2. Unordered lists with the .entry class does not show ordered lists or bulleted lists.

3. In IE 6 there is a folder icon that sort of shows at the top of the dotted line.

4. the ordered lists have zero margin on them making them have no buffer between the paragraphs below them or the side to the left.

5. The logo area should have been made much wider and the search area to have a lower width either that or use z-indexing in an element that is positioned absolute within a positioned relative layer (you’ll need to email me for me to show you an example)

6. You should get in the habit of using conditional comments to provide for CSS for both IE 6 and IE 7

I’m sure I’ll think of other things. I’m in the process of fixing and modifying things right now.

This theme is great, wanted to say thanks

Hello! I like this theme very much, however after using it on my blog, it’s not being indexed by search engines anymore. Is there any way to remedy this? Thank you.

OH, okay =)

Thanks, nice work!

awesome theme m8
but i wanted to ask 1 thing that its showing in header “Statement
Are You Ready To make one? ”

rather then my site’s name
how do i get that

Thanks you Jai. Great theme. Clean and stylish. I especially like the modification and configuration posiblities.

Jai great work. I have translated it to Spanish in my blog but I don’t know what happen because now my statistics do not work. Anyway I prefer use your theme because is amazing
Thanks

Okay… that’s was an embedded video who was the problem.

Thank’s for all 😉

The BEST theme I have seen in ages.
I searched a lot of themes at wordpress.org and many other places. This is the BEST find!
Perfect color combination and easy to read content. I have already installed it on my blog. I wish I could personally come and thank you for this beauty 😉
Andy.

HEY JAI

THIS GREAT TEMPLATE ;

WORKS WELL ON FF2 AND APPLE SAFARI

BUT TABS DO NOT WORK ON IE7 AND IE8 , LOGO AND NAV LINK DO NOT SEEM PROPERLY ON IE8

one suggestion: put a note in this post of the breadcrumbs plugin.

anyway, great work!

Jai, I tell you, most of my classmates love your blog, because you can friendly release many wonderful themes, which satisfy us!

Great job with this theme Jai! Awesome!

Jai,

Excellent theme. I’m thinking of moving from BOBv2 to this one.

Is there a way to add popular posts instead of recent comments?

Thanks,

PT

Absolutely gorgeous, Jai. Another kick-ass theme!

Good Theme! Thank you, Jai

Great theme. i will be uploading it tonight.

Plugin! Oops. Yeah, that would help… Got it. Thanks.

Yep I installed this plugin too.

Ooops so did I. I’m using WP2.5 Final, too.

Nice work Jai! Really nice!
Only one thing I can not fix by myself: the Browse line on the topleft cannot display. Both in Firefox2 and IE7 I meet the same problem. Somebody has already mentioned above. Please fix it.
Thank you again Jai! You gave us another wonderful theme.

nice one theme again 🙂

It seems that sidebar blocks do not align nice. The first (big) block and the ones that go under do not line-up.

Using FF2.

@ Chris,

Yep, I see that too. Looks like it has something to do with the margin and padding of the “post style declarations.

Is it easy to add a “sponsor block” for banner ads on top of the “recent post block” (top right section)

Thanks,
Mike

man it’s incredible! You did a great job. I liked it very much.

Wow, I’m sure you’re fast at releasing free wordpress themes 😀 good job Jai

You’re quite welcome, and I’m sure your users will appreciate the quick fix. Now that’s service!

Take care:)

im saving this one for my next theme make-over. 😀 great job jai.

Where have you guys been when I was looking for a theme like this couple weeks ago 🙂 Gosh, it would have saved me so much time…
