I think the overall design is pretty nice, but just like the others said try and get everything properly alligned, I think that is where your main problems are.

Not bad for your first theme, should work well as a solid basis for the core functionality in your future themes as well. I’m in the process of making my first so I know how hard it is.

The first thing I would give some attention would be the logo. It seems very basic and could quite easily be improved. give it a gradient, turn it into a badge etc etc.

Another thing I think could work quite well to make the theme more interesting would be to add a large dark image as the background. Maybe some sort of texture. You could even supply a number of backgrounds with it and make it another theme option. Just an idea.

I might also consider using a bolder font for your headings as well. Currently the body text stands out more than the thin font you have used.

The gradients seem fine to me on my iMac.

hope this helps!

Thanks again guys tried it and it works. Should have worked that out myself really very simple haha

Cheers for the quick replay guys i will try this in a bit!!

Hi,

I’m currently in the later stages of developing a new wordpress theme and i have got a question about shortcodes.

My theme includes a number of shortcodes that allow the pages to be split into columns to give a more flexible layout like many of the wordpress themes on here. This is all works fine, but i was wondering if there was a way to enable shortcodes that are written within these columns to work.

For example I have a number of other shortcodes used to create custom buttons and lists etc, but when these are placed in a column created by one of the column shortcodes they don’t work.

Is there any way to fix this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Zef

Did you ever find a solution too this? Im wondering the same thing now! haha

Posted this in off topic a while back and got no replies, thought I might have better luck here ;P

I would like to give the user the ability to change the configuration of widgets on pages through the admin panel giving them a number of styles. I understand how I would do this with html and css. I would assign each widget a custom class name like class=”frontpage-widget-1” class=”frontpage-widget-2” etc so the each could be styled differently. My question is how to I achieve this with php?

Can it be done when the sidebar is registered in functions.php or when it is called in the theme? Sorry if im confusing you!

Thanks in advance any advice will be greatly appreciated!

looks like im gunna need to brush up on my php then! lol
