Styleicious Web 2.0 WordPress template – The GREAT LAUNCH!

Wooohoo!!! you have no idea how thrilled i am to announce that starting from this moment you can download my latest wordpress template with ajax addons!

Me and my coder(BetNG4U) invested lots of work to make this template what it is and for more than 20 hours we debugged it and improved it to work perfectly. BetNG4U even modified the rating system, because it had some javascript errors and didnt work in IE6. Each time we revised it problems appeared, but finally we fixed everything and everything looks cool.

Check out some of the screenshots on 4 resolutions:

Width = 1024px -> PREVIEW HERE
Width = 1400px -> PREVIEW HERE
Width = 1280px -> PREVIEW HERE
Width = 1600px -> PREVIEW HERE

As you see there aren’t any distortions and the style is 100% fluid and doesn’t have ugly overflows or such, meaning The theme works flawlessly.

Here are it’s features:

great looking web 2.0-ish logo

2 columns for you to have place to put extra content

WidgetBucks and Adsense READY!

widgetized sidebars

AJAX rating system

Thread tags

Tag Cloud

Recent posts and recent comments display

Cool hover effects at comment fields

great looking post display and commenting system

XHTML & CSS Valid

Great hover effects!

You will not have any sponsored links in the footer, only a link-back to my blog which i kidnly ask you to keep.

And last but not least : it is 100% compatible with WordPress v 2.3.1!

We added AJAX Features to the theme like:

AJAX search

AJAX comment posting

AJAX page navigation (AJAX powered Page navigation will only work if you don’t use mod rewrite, since there are unlimited options to rewrite the URL’s in the admin panel we couldn’t make the AJAX page navigation work with all of them, so only those who have default URL’s will be able to use it(don’t worry, you won’t miss much if you use mod rewrite, in the matter of fact the pages will load a bit faster)

Installation of the theme:

The inststalation of the theme is extremely easy and consists in 4 simple steps:

1) Download the zip archive and extract it.

2) Upload the contents of the “upload” folder to “wp-content” folder on your server.

3) Go to your admin panel and at “Presentation” activate the theme.

4) In admin panel at plugins activate WP-PostRatings

5) Enjoy the theme!

6) Those of you who downloaded the theme before bugs we’re fixed and are facing problems please download the updated package and re-upload it.

7) Make sure you check back once-a-while for updates and bug fixes!

Download links and Live demo:

Live Demo: http://themes.thaslayer.com/styleicious/

If you wish to further develop the theme or add new features to it feel free to contact me at tom@thaslayer.com

If you find any bugs/problems please post a comment here and they will be solved in the next release!

As mentioned above, you will not have any sponsored links and we invested lots and lots of work in this FREE template.

Changelog:

8th November 2007 – Fixed the menu and the bug that was making pages saved as drafts to appear in the menu

10th November 2007 – Fixed footer bug, made the footer fluid so if you have lots of tags footer won’t get messed up

12th November 2007 – Anand came accross a sidebar bug, it seems that in ie the middle sidebar(the one with ads) overflows on the footer, this happened because we fixed the footer bug and messed it up, The bug has been fixed

13th November 2007 – The overflowing textbox BUG that was appearing in IE6 has been fixed

    I just uploaded your theme on my site as I thought it would be a great new style to try out. However I keep getting this error message down where the search bar is:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_search_query() in ##FOLDER_LISTING##/wp-content/themes/Styleicious/searchform.php on line 2

    I disabled all plugins except Akismet and Advanced Admin Menus and still received the error. Thought I would let you know. I can’t wait until I can try this out.

  • Patrick - 05 Nov 2007 11PM

    I failed to mention that I am running WP 2.1 with the Redoable theme right now. Do I need to upgrade to 2.3? I would but I’m worried some of my plugins will fail.

  • slayer - 06 Nov 2007 5AM

    yes, you need to upgrade to wordpress 2.3.1

  • JimmY - 06 Nov 2007 11AM

    Great skin and job Slayer. Greetz to you!

  • Lolete - 06 Nov 2007 3PM

    Great theme :D

  • Steve - 06 Nov 2007 4PM

    Hello!

    I am sure that this theme will have many fans, and I am between them. The theme is good, clean, fast. Sadly, I have some problems. Would be great, if they are mine, not themes’.

    I have a static page, set as Draft, but when I use your theme, it’s there. It is important for me, because I have few pages, that I must show only at particular moments, not all the time. I don’t have enough time to make experiments right now, but I will check it again when I’m back home. Again: I hope that the problem is with me. :)

    And again – very nice and clean theme! Great job! ;)

  • slayer - 06 Nov 2007 5PM

    could you explain more detailed?
    eventually send some screenshots at tom@thaslayer.com

  • Logesh - 07 Nov 2007 3AM

    Hai, I would like to have an another 3-Column section at the top like whats now at the bottom of the template now. Could you tell me how can i add like that ? So that i can display Recent Posts, Comments & Top Commenters at the top of the page.

  • Steve - 07 Nov 2007 10AM

    OK, I will try to explain better this time:

    I have few static pages, which I am not using all the time. I mean, they are set as drafts, so the regular visitors can’t see them. With your theme, even set as draft, the pages are shown. I will try to make a screenshot when I am able to.

    Best,
    Steve

  • slayer - 07 Nov 2007 6PM

    a screenshot would be very helpful :)

  • Logesh - 08 Nov 2007 9AM

    Hey its having some bugs in the sidebar man. Please take a look at the sidebar in http://earn-cah.in

    Then, the Recent posts showed in the Footer is not following the permalink we have set. I think it will leads to a duplicate content.

    So please take a look at them and correct the errors man.

    Also if possible please add a three column sections like in the footer at the top. So that it will be better to show the Top Commentators, Recent Comments, & Ads

    I hope you will solve these quickly.

    I am waiting for this fix, and i like to have this theme on my blog at http://earn-cash.in so please could you able to solve these quickly ?

    Thank You !

  • slayer - 09 Nov 2007 11AM

    @ steve – The issue was solved, thanks for the heads up!

    @ Logesh – you have all the files that are necessary to customize the theme, the url you provided isn’t working, i tried out your problems and i’m very sure the problem is from you

  • Ilyas - 10 Nov 2007 8AM

    That is just a a cool template.

  • ayahshva - 11 Nov 2007 8AM

    nice adsense and widgetbucks ready theme

  • jez - 12 Nov 2007 7AM

    nice theme,
    keeping an out for you mate.

  • Bill - 20 Nov 2007 12AM

    Great theme… I am using it… and Hoping that someone can help with a couple of tweaks…

    1. I use ShareThis plugin and in doing so if someone clicks on the Share This link on the bottom message on the main blog page it loads the Share This popup UNDER the 3 column footer.

    2. I would like to use a format of:

    MOST RECENT BLOG POST in FULL

    google ad

    NEXT XX number of Posts as excerpts only.

    I’d done this with another theme that I tweaked around for what seemed like forever in the index.php and while in the loop I go through a have posts loop and grab and display the first post with this type of a statement (from WordPress forums), the have posts if statement is then closed and I do my adsense posting and then I do a have posts again and go through ID)) : ?>
    < ?php if($count % 2 == 0) echo ”; else echo ”; ?> posting the next posts… I can’t seem to figure out where/how to place this stuff…

  • Bill - 20 Nov 2007 12AM

    Well it didn’t like my PHP stuff… shoulda guessed it…

  • Bill - 20 Nov 2007 4AM

    Couple of other little things…

    1. The sidebar closest to the content seems to want to center the titles of the widget name… How can I left justify it like the sidebar on the right?

    2. Change the Order of the Page Menu in the Header and DO NOT include the sub pages.

    3. Integrate blog search into the theme.

  • Tom - 21 Nov 2007 4AM

    I love your theme design. Regrettbly , if I meet your theme before I will use this theme for my web site.

    However , I have downloaded . Thank you.
    ^___^

  • Paul - 21 Nov 2007 7PM

    Hi, thanks for the theme. It looks really cool. If I dont want to use ajax page navigation can i remove all of the rbet stuff? Also is there any chance of the psds used for this theme so I can change colours?

    Thanks again

  • aj - 24 Nov 2007 11PM

    Thanks. Using your theme on our project.

    Cheers!

  • Ara - 17 Dec 2007 11AM

    Hey,

    great theme! But when i try to leave a comment (logged in or logged out) i get an error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'araabcar_myblog.mb_post2cat' doesn't exist]
    SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `mb_posts` p LEFT JOIN `mb_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `mb_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID

    the comment still does show up…. but that is the page it goes too. That is the error if i am commenting as a guest, if i am logged in and try to comment it gets a similar error but only one line of code

  • slayer - 17 Dec 2007 2PM

    Ara, please update your wordpress to latest release

    if you still encounter problems feel free to email me at tom@thaslayer.com

  • Jennifer - 29 Dec 2007 6AM

    Is this theme compatible with WordPress MU 2.3.1? I have uploaded the theme and everything apears to work except the default post is not showing up, which leads me to believe that it isn’t compatible. If it is then I will dig further to find my problem, just didn’t want to debug if I didn’t have to. :)

    This is a great theme and I hope I will be able to utilize it! Thanks for all your hard work.

  • slayer - 29 Dec 2007 7AM

    to be honest i never tried it on MU, so i can’t tell you if its compatible or not

    if you start debugging and encounter problems feel free to send me a mail to tom@thaslayer.com with an explication of the problem and i will try to help

  • David Ross - 01 Jan 2008 2PM

    Tom
    The theme is very appealing. However, it seems to have problems using Safari 3.0.4.
    The Header title and page nav buttons do not show. Also the comment button on each post doesn’t work. If I browse with Firefox it’s all working perfectly. Any suggestions?

  • slayer - 01 Jan 2008 2PM

    David, we are working on a fix as we speak, il send you an email once we got it figured out and fixed it

    cheers,
    Tom

  • David Ross - 01 Jan 2008 8PM

    Tom
    That’s great news, good luck catching the gremlin!

    I have one other question—the color background on the wide “posts” column can sometimes interfere with graphics. Is there a simple way to leave the sidebars as is and turn the post background white?

    Thanking you in advance.

  • slayer - 02 Jan 2008 5PM

    @ David – we really bumped into something, we tried everything we could still couldn’t figure out what’s causing the problem

    i’l as the guys over @ DP to see if someone can help

  • Mars - 11 Jan 2008 4PM

    Hi, Styleicious is an outstanding theme – love it! One “blonde question” from a newbie (mea culpa, mea culpa…) – what file do I need to edit to remove the placeholder “ad.jpg”? Thanks once again for an outstanding theme?

  • Mars - 11 Jan 2008 5PM

    Okay so I tried to use my brain (or rather spotlight found ad.jpg in sidebar.php) so I deleted

    <img src=”/images/ad.jpg” style=”display:block;margin:0px auto;” alt=”" />

    Hope this was right and not a secret code to launch armageddon….

  • Mars - 11 Jan 2008 6PM

    Hi, back again – can you say how do I get the title and logo to show, Can see your logo in the images file but it is not showing – nor is the title

    http://www.click.myzen.co.uk/blog

    Am I being blonde?

  • slayer - 11 Jan 2008 7PM

    @ Mars – just reupload the theme

    that image from sidebar dissapears if you insert a widget

    cheers,
    Tom

  • Mars - 11 Jan 2008 8PM

    Thanks! Great – and on the no title, comments issue it is a Mac (Safari) thing as per previous posts.

    Can I make a donation to you (PayPal or whatever) for a fix (or even a hack using a image header I can post from Photoshop or something) – I really need this to work Cross Browser – I’m going to ask for some seed capital for a start up and styleicious is set to be my blog? Cheers, Paul

  • slayer - 11 Jan 2008 8PM

    @Mars – i’m sorry, if you read above you can notice that an other user has reported same problem as you did

    i can’t figure out what’s wrong, every line was rechecked but still same stuff

    cheers,
    Tom

  • Mars - 12 Jan 2008 8AM

    Thanks Tom, so do you take on private work – to do a similar theme?

  • slayer - 12 Jan 2008 1PM

    @ Mars – yes i do custom themes, for a custom web 2.0 theme i charge 200$ – you will get full layered PSD along with the coded theme(XHTML/CSS valid + widgetized sidebars)

    if you want to hire me feel free to send me an email with more details to tom@thaslayer.com

    cheers,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    First of all, I’d like to thank you for this great template before my questions.
    I’ve installed it on WP 2.8.5 turkish version and I see duplicate parts on my blog. For example there are two categories, one in english and other one is in turkish. This is same for archives. Do you have any idea why this happens?

    Also for rating system, should I install extra program?

  • Matt - 03 Nov 2009 11AM

    Hey man, thanks for the awesome template. Using everything as-is for the blog im setting up, just wanted to know if you could guide me into how I would go about replacing the header with an image I have uploaded. one thing i wanna change.

    Thanks a lot

  • Paul - 04 Nov 2009 3AM

    Hi there, I really like the template, but I was wondering. If I wanted to change the header, to include mi photo or something… how would I go about it?

    A step by step would be appreciated. I tried looking in appearance, and edit>themes… but couldn’t find it.

    Thanks

    Paul

  • Michael Knowles - 18 Nov 2009 5AM

    hi,
    great theme…how can i remove the page tabs at the top of the page….I hate having tabs there. the only exception would be to leave a home tab.

    Thanks

  • kurye - 18 Jan 2010 2PM

    Hai, I would like to have an another 3-Column section at the top like whats now at the bottom of the template now. Could you tell me how can i add like that ? So that i can display Recent Posts, Comments & Top Commenters at the top of the page.

  • SDavenport - 13 Mar 2011 12AM

    Your theme has some excellent features about it. I appreciate all the work that goes into such a piece. I can’t turn out anything that good with Artisteer by any means. I was wondering how to put some of page tabs in the large footer area instead of across the top. Speaking of the footer area, do I put coding in that file to get widgets to show there or is there another way? I didn’t see a section for the footer in the widgets. Thanks Slayer

  • Peggy Gurney - 13 Jul 2011 12AM

    Hi! I found this WP theme on another site and not knowing that it is so old, I installed it on my latest version of WordPress. I looks great. As far as I can tell everything works fine except – when I installed it, my links widgets were in the right side column and I can’t find a way to get them out, lol. I installed them in the left column, where I always have my links, so I had 2 columns of links. I looks through all of the css and php files and couldn’t find the solution. If you could help with this, I would be most appreciative. Feel free to take a look!
