This entry was posted on 2 August 2008 at 12:21 and filed under Arthemia 2.0 Released: The Updates
2.08.08 at 12:21 in Wordpress and Themes # 221 CommentsThis is the new version of Arthemia. I’ve done some changes in the post list in the front page, solve some CSS problem, added the thumbnail feature for post list in front page, archive, and search page, modify the comment list style, and added the WP-PageNavi plugin support. Pages and sub-pages in the top navigation bar are now shown automatically.
The Updates
Automatic page listing and new search button in navigation bar.
The new Arthemia can list pages in your blog automatically. Unlike the old one, you do not have to hard-code the PHP file if you update your page title and structures. Drop-down lists will show sub-pages so do not forget to assign the page parent in the page editing panel. I added a fixed-sized search button (the magnifier) to overcome CSS incompatibilities across browser. Anyway, there is a consequences of this automatic page listing feature, if you have too many pages in your blog, all of them will be displayed here and the design will break.
Minor changes in CSS styling.
I did some minor changes in heading styles especially for single post pages. I simplify the design and get rid of the icons. The WP-Email and WP-Print plugin are not used anymore in this theme due some incompatibility issues. To show the number of view in a post, you still need the WP-PageView plugin from Lesterchan.net. I added a black-colored breadcrumbs feature in every page, including single posts, pages, archive, and search page. If you want to show author name, category, and tags, you can edit the file single.php and add the commands.
Working thumbnails in front page, archive, search page.
Post are listed along with its thumbnails while the post list uses the excerpt feature from WP. By default, excerpt is the first 55 first words of the post content but due to some aesthetic consideration, I modify the function.php file to make custom excerpts showing 90 first words of the page. Thumbnails are now working in all pages and are generated automatically. It is 150 pixel-square-sized thumbnails, with a 1 pixel border, and 2 pixels padding. You can find these thumbails in the front page (bottom-left), archive page, and search page.
A new style of comment list.
I was a little bored with the old style of comment list so I do some minor changes in it. Gravatars now have borders and taken outside the gray comment box. The gravatar was 45 pixels square and I added 5 more pixels. If you want to modify the comment template to your own liking, you can go to the comment.php and style.css and edit the templates anyway you like it.
The Whole View
So, what now? Go download or see the live demo!

@ 50milimetri
I do use to face such problems… But I figured where the problem came from…
Solve the problem by :
1. Login as admin and go to Settings tab.
2. Go to Reading tab.
3. In “Blog pages show at most” edit the number of post with number of posts you want to display, let’s say 5.
4. Open your themes file, look for index.php
5. Change the &posts_per_page=5. This number should be the same as “Blog pages show at most” (in step #3)
6. Viola. There will be no 404 anymore.
You can look at my blog Sukses. Please give me some comments ^^.
Hi,
I want to use this theme for the new version of my blog but I’ve got a problem
I’ve got some problem with WP-PAGENAVI plugin, with the url rewriting the pagination works only until page 9, from page 10 (…/page/10) it returns a 404 error…
Have you ever experienced this issue? How can i solve it?

Hey thanks for the latest version I am trying it at my site. Hope it works well and I will recommend to my friends to use the premium version by Color Labs Project since they are planning to do fashion magazine. Thank you very much!
Hi, great looking theme!
Only have one problem, I cant seem to add google adsense in the single posts?
They insist on getting either above or below the post even with div float tags??
Is there somethingelse I must edit to get this to work?
I’m used to just pasting in the adsense code with div float underneath the <?php the_content( in single.php but really cant get it to work
Great theme and fantastic.
Hi Michael…

BTW, I have done some customization on your theme. It doesn’t violate the TOS right? I still keep your links in my footer.
Great theme!

Any help appreciated.
hello and I have to say GREAT JOB. this is the best I have ever seen in any wordpress mag style template. Some you have tp pay for and they are not half as nice as this one here. I am so lucky to have found this. I have a question though…If I want to add a FORUM (under a main top menu), how would I do that ? could you help me ?
I know that revolution does it. check it out…and please let me know as having a forum would be crucial for me, thanks a lot.

( see how they have the “forum” at the end…and people can go and post there…)
THANKS A LOT
This is one the cleanest and most elegant sites around. Thanks so much for publishing it to the public domain.
One question though. Is the unstripped content be displayed instead of an excerpt in the index page? I am trying to do it, but I get content stripped of html.
Wondering why charset isn’t working correctly? I’m trying to translate the theme in my language, using utf-8 charset, but all I’m getting from translation is some stupid “questionmarks ?” in other to have letters.
