WordPress Theme – ClearPress

Finally I am back from Vacation! ๐Ÿ™‚ (Also the reason for delayed posts).

To mark the beginning of year 2009, I am releasing a bright & colorful free WordPress theme – ClearPress. This is a unique WordPress theme which you will not find anywhere on the Internet. The unique feature about this theme is that it divides the blog posts into three separate columns. So, if you have set your blog to show 9 posts on the home page, they will be divided into 3 columns consisting of 3 posts each.

The theme also features a pull-down sidebar which is totally unobtrusive and contains three widgetized sidebars. ClearPress is Gravatar-ready, Image Gallery ready, and consists of beautifully styled comments and archive pages.

ClearPress has been tested on IE7, Firefox and Safari browsers without any problems. The CSS for the theme is commented and easy to modify for any WordPress user.

How to Install?

All you have to do is extract the theme folder (clearpress) into your wp-content/themes directory and apply the theme by going to wp-admin -> Design.

Changing the Logo Image

I have provided the logo.psd file which is located inside the images folder of the theme. If you want to change the logo (which is obvious as it says “Clearpress” right now), you can open this file in Adobe Photoshop, modify it and then export as logo.png. Replace the existing logo.png with your new one.

Demo & Download

I hope you like this theme. Don’t forget to leave your feedback in the comments!

Very compact theme. It’s interesting most of the references to the theme come from our guys. That’s quite funny. ๐Ÿ™‚

After three or four or more grueling years getting through law school, are you a lawyer yet? The answer is “no” in virtually every state in the United States because you need to pass the multistate bar exam (MBE) before you are awarded the honor of putting “esq.” behind your name. That shouldn’t be too hard since you have been studying law literally for years, right? You have read the cases, you know how to present the holdings, you’ve reviewed statutes until the wee hours, you know how to take an essay test as well as anyone. Now you face the MBE.

This layout is so stellar. How did you manage to make a blog thatโ€™s as smart as it is sleek? Iโ€™ve got to say, the layout alone made me come back to this blog again. But now that Iโ€™ve read what youโ€™ve got to say, Iโ€™ve got to share it with the world!

Thanks for the info. I was searching in the web about this and there are lot of scams about this which are not really helpful. But this one really helped me with the installing and using the features. Thanks again!

We are all aware of the fact that backlinks make up the larger part of any effective and successful Search Engine Optimization Technique (SEO). That is why the: How to get backlinks question keeps being asked every now and then on the internet, and people never stop getting enough information on this subject matter. Guess no one will ever be satisfied with the number of backlinks they already have for their websites or blogs. In this case, more is always better.

I have been looking for a good theme for a new blog and really am liking ClearPress but I’m having an issue.

I am in testing and I leave a comment and then go back out and it says “1 Comment” but the comment doesn’t appear even though I’ve approved it and even if I reply to it. At the bottom of the post it just says “2 Comments on this entry :-” but nothing else.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Nice theme! However I am having a problem with the pull down menu. All the items in my sidebar, the widgets are all in one column. Is there anyway to get them to move over and be under the recent posts etc?

If you loaded the WP Gravatar and still get error, there is probably a mistake in the script. Try WordPress forum for help.

I already use WordPress Gravatars and still get the error. I also went in the presentation page made sure it was set.

I really want to love this theme, but I’m having some difficulty.

http://www.preservationarts.com/20090421/christmasinapril/

Posts show up a little funny. I also can’t figure out how to add things to sidebars. They don’t seem to show up all the time.

I’m also having trouble with the image gallery and getting javascript to work, but that’s probably unrelated to the theme… haven’t tested in other themes yet.

Hello,
Thank you for this free wordpress theme!

I have problem to install it. I would like to use it with “wamp server” on my computer (for test). But when I’am applying it, I have the next error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in C:\wamp\www\testwp\wp-content\themes\clearpress\index.php on line 56

Can someone help me please ?

Hey, I love this theme! It’s so fun and bright, yet very unusual (in a good way). I adore the colors!!!

But, I’m having trouble. Comments show up looking like this:

What should I do? I’ve tried re-uploading the php files, but it isn’t working…

Hi, great theme (at least with safari ๐Ÿ™‚
Under IE7 (and 6) something strange is happening. I am using 2.7.1 of wordpress and no plugins (to test). But IE7 and 6 is showing the pull down, already pulled down and is to the left of the screen. the columns are alright but to the bottom because of the pulled down menu (that goes automatically).

Quick question: I am trying to modify it so the single page is smaller and the comments as well, which I’ve done but I do not know how to adjust the CSS so that it’s centered on the screen.

Daniel Reply

Oh and one other thing, if I have images in my posts that are wider than the columns in the 3 column layout on the front page, it looks broken… This seems like it could affect a lot of people. Is this a simple fix (some CSS overflow tweaking or something to that effect hopefully?)

Daniel Reply

@Jai:-
I’m running WP 2.7 and as far as I can tell there’s no function called “gravatar()”. I replaced that line in comment.php with “echo get_avatar(get_comment_author_email(), 24);” and it all works fine now ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi Jai

I just left a message in your ‘chat’ box, but meant to leave it here.

I love the theme – clean and colourful.

Is it possible to have Google adwords? I’d like them in the third column?

Thanks

I get this error anytime a comment is posted:

Hi Jai. Thanks for this wonderful template. I’ve downloaded it and it’s really great. One thing though – IE browser shows this:

‘error on page’ at the bottom of the browser.

How do I fix this?

Sunira Reply

Hi there. First I want to say what a wonderful and innovative theme! My site looks great because of your work!

One small incompatibility…this theme does not appear to work with NextGen gallery. ๐Ÿ™

I am not sure why. Just a small roadbump.

Thanks again!

Jai Reply

@matilda:- You can use custom fields (search on how to use them) to display small images on the front page (edit index.php) and post normal sized images for the single.php

matilda Reply

Wow, I love this, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time, and have spent quite a bit on premium themes that just didn’t cut it, it’s so great that it’s free.

I do have a question, is it possible to somehow auto size and resize images?
I use images in every post, and it looks good on the front page when 250px, but when viewing a single post it looks wonky as the page is wide and the image so small.
Is there a way I could automatically have all images set to 250px on the front page but their original size when viewing a single post?

I have seen this type of function inbuilt in some gallery themes, but have no idea how to do it myself, any suggestions/ direction will be appreciated.

Thanks!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Magnifique !!! Beautiful…
But it doesn’t work properly with IE all versions… a script error says that console is undefined
IE6 : only two columns, the third is at the bottom.
IE7 & 8 : nothing, we are directed to http://wpthemes.blogohblog.net/, we have to change the options security ???
It’s really too bad because i was searching this type of theme.
Thanks

Great theme Jai! I love it. I might use it in my new tech blog. Just need some minor modification. Yes, the content area in single post is too wide. ๐Ÿ™‚ Maybe it is better if a sidebar will appear in single post.

sfox Reply

Wow! Another wonderful work!

I think you’d better test the themes on IE6 too! Because most of the people are using IE6 to surf the Internet.

What’s more, i have no idea why i cannot visit your demo’s site.
