This entry was posted on 2 August 2008 at 12:21 and filed under Arthemia Free v2.0 Released: The Updates
2.08.08 at 12:21 in Wordpress and Themes # 514 CommentsThis is the new version of Arthemia Free. 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.

makasih buat yang dah bikin nih template..
Just found your blog– nice post!
Hello,
I’m really enjoying the Arthemia theme, and just starting to discover it’s power. Love how the thumbnails are automatically generated. I have just modified the theme somewhat (header, 404 page, index, colors) for a website that I just created yesterday, and am still developing.
I’m only running into one challenge:
I think I must have missed documentation somewhere. I can’t figure out how to stop “Most Commented” and “Most Viewed” from showing up in the footer sidebars (namely center and right). They remain even after adding widgets. How do I do that?
Thanks!
Update: I figured out my footer sidebars question. Again, great theme!
Nice collection of WordPress themes and resources you have here. I design a few themes from time to time, they are pretty simple but getting better all of the time.
If you have time, stop on by and take a look. I would be interested in your opinion of my themes and blog.

Hi Michael, this is a ridiculously good theme. Absolutely brilliant. I’m going to be using it on some new sites and so far I’m finding it very easy to use.
Thanks!
Hi, I have download this theme today. But not able to see thumbnail in front page. What to do?
I can see thumbnail only once I click on that….
You have to put the Lunks to the Image starting from wp_conten/.. into the special field under the editor.
How do I hide pages? I don’t want pages to be part of the main navigation. Normally you can hide them as a third tier page. that is not the case here?
Any thoughts?
Hello, I am a newbie and having a hard time figuring out how to get the arthemia logo off my site and mine on? The pages and all are pretty easy but i cannot find where to change this. i have it uploaded to ftp too, help please
Hello, Julie,
in the Arthemia folder, there is a subfolder called “images.” In this folder, there is a picture, logo.png. Simply replace this image with another PNG of the same size (177×39) also called logo.png.
Alternatively, should you decide you’d rather have a JPG logo, you may edit the header.php file (at around line 31, if you’re using an external editor) and replace the reference to logo.png with a reference to your image.
hi, my “browse categories” does not show any categories that i have created. what needs to be done for that? Can anybody please guide me.

hey michael, your magazine theme looks lovely but i still have problems with thumbnails on the website from my name. I’ve checked and rechecked all steps from your tuturial but images still don’t work. I’ve CHMODed folders to 777, took care to write the good path to images in the “Image” field and images still don’t work. Do you know why?
