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.
The Whole View
So, what now? Go download or see the live demo!

Anyway, if you find the theme cool, helpful, inspiring, or whatsoever, I guess it’ll be a pleasure to donate me some money. I will be really thankful for that.
Change log, step-by-step configuration, and installation procedures can be read here.
If you have any problem using the theme and want to ask for support, please use the forum instead.

If anyone is having problems with the thumbnails not showing, please check your PHP settings and insure that “magic_quotes_gpc” is set to ON.
This is usually done in your hosts control panel under PHP settings.
Not all host have it turned on by default.
I apologize for my last comment. Please delete it. I should have checked your support forums. Everything works great now!
Hi Michael
We chose to display 5 articles on our home page. If I’m not mistaken, each article after the 5 should push the oldest article to the next page and the WP-PageNavi plugin should navigate to the next page.
We have 7 articles total and the page 2 and next page link are bringing up a 404.
Any help on this would be great.
Very Nice Theme. Clean and easy.
I would like to add videos to the front page. Is there a way to add a function so that we can add other functions to the “Custom Field” section and see videos on the front page?
i am having problem with the 2.8.4 version. the body border is not appearing at all and the page is out of the page.
Any help.
WoW this is an amazing looking theme, very nice work Michael

Hey! thanks for this awesome template. I wanted to ask, is there a way to make the excerpts shown of the last posts (not headlines), in the original format, that is, with bolds, italics and the spaces and enters of the actual post. Exactly the same formatting.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there, I would like to ask somethings.
1. For the top navigation bar(tab with home, about, advertise…), can I manually add another navigation bar on top of that? Cause I would like to create some more pages.
2. For the five main category in the middle of this template, Can I replace it with my own icon manually?
Thanks a lot and this template rocks!
Thanks! I finally got it.
Just wonder how to edit the adsense on the right sidebar?
