Written by Jai on September 16, 2008 – 12:23 pm - 17,039 viewsI’m glad to announce an all new WordPress theme from Blog Oh! Blog called Portfolio Press. This is a dark-colored theme suitable for anyone who wants to create a quick portfolio or wants to showcase his work through WordPress. The theme is fully CSS/XHTML validated, WordPress 2.6+ ready and comes with easy to modify code. The comments are nicely designed with Gravatar functionality.

Wow! I’m glad to be the first to post comment on your new achievement. I really loved it at first glance. It gives the site of a well-equipped website. Great work Bob. It is a wonderful theme.

Good theme!
on Sep 16, 2008
I like it. Very smooth.
on Sep 16, 2008
Gee man! The way you pull out these themes are simply knocking me out. I think I like this one more then it look alike Firebug. And I must say thank you for the opportunity to use your theme Techicon on my site. Am learning a lot from just hanging out on your blog.
I will definitely use it on one of my blogs.
Thanks.
on Sep 16, 2008
Wow, great theme.
It should be ported to Blogger
on Sep 17, 2008
Great theme but I have some problems with center and right aligned images.
Center aligned images are displayed left aligned and right aligned images getting stretched weirdly (tested on IE7&FF3).
on Sep 17, 2008
Very nice / simple / clean theme.
Congrats!

Looks like firebug.. AMAZING!
on Sep 19, 2008
Very nice theme Jai. Search engine friendly + opens up quickly because of the small size. Perfect for portfolio sites. I mean it goes well with the name you gave to this theme. Thanks for sharing your wonderful themes with the community.
Regards,
Andy.

The theme breaks in Opera 9.5 and FireFox 3.0 on Mac. The content body ends up sliding to the left underneath the left navigation menu. By adjusting the “width” of #wrapper to 1000px I was able to fix this. Otherwise it looks good.
on Sep 19, 2008
Hmm, looks like that’s not a good fix. Any ideas?
on Sep 19, 2008
@John Kolbert:- This *might* be what you are seeing; if not, can we see an example.
Firefox doesn’t display the vertical scroll bar when it isn’t needed, like IE does. So, when you shift between content with and without a scroll bar, it shifts. By adding “html {overflow-y: scroll;}” to the Stylesheet, it should make the vertical scroll bar stick.

Awesome theme, thanks!

Gorgeous theme! You’ve done great work. This is what I’ve been looking for, I need something like this for a simple portfolio. Good design, beautiful colours and simple enough. Looking forward to see your new releases in future!

Im having problems with links not showing up. If I change the theme on my blog, the links are there, but Portfolio Press doesn’t like them. Has anyone else experienced this?
on Sep 30, 2008
I noticed that when you add a sidebar widget (besides Meta, Categories, and Links) the theme breaks. Any ideas why it’s not liking the widgets?
on Oct 1, 2008
@John, you can fixed the sidebar width so the theme will not breaks. Try to change sidebar width in style.css as 250px and it will be fine.
Hope this will help.
on Oct 3, 2008
It has many problems in IE8
on Oct 4, 2008
dark, clean, powerfull… a good theme
on Oct 5, 2008
Really great looking theme. I may use it when I get sick of my current one.
on Oct 7, 2008
My current theme is Redoable Lite. Can I change it while the current image size is 640×480? How does it works especially for images? Any problem?
on Oct 9, 2008
very interesting templates, well done!
on Oct 10, 2008
Thanks Jai,
The themes are really good. have downloaded a few but am commenting on the one i liked the best! keep up the great work that u do!
on Oct 11, 2008
i find this so cool, but when i applied it, the sidebar went on top of the content area, so instead of having them side by side, one is on top of the other. i already tried to change the width of sidebar and the content, it changed but still one is on top of the other. what should i do to place them side by side?
on Oct 11, 2008
Make sure you dont’ have your pages widget in the sidebar. That’s what happened to me. As soon as I removed the widget that displays all the pages, it was fixed.
on Oct 12, 2008
Something I noticed about this theme is when one first creates a post or page, the FIRST comment has the same rgb code for color as does back-groundcolor rending first time commenters unable to view what they’re typing. Apparently it doesn’t happen with subsequent comments and I haven’t checked in browsers other than IE. Another anomoly is the presence of the “NAME “ON”" in the Recent comments widget. I don’t know if this is a localized or wordpress doing (n00b).
on Oct 12, 2008
Love the small size and quick load
on Oct 12, 2008
I would kill for a lighter version of this - white with grey accents…(that I didn’t have to switch myself)…haha - for my district - for student portfolios. The black is beautiful but hard for some of our teachers to read on…any hopes of getting a companion theme in lighter colors? Pretty please?? Fabulous site!
on Oct 15, 2008
Great theme. no big deal but, it’s missing a style for the image captions and also, the tag widget text smooshes right up against the table layout. easy css fixes, but might be good to include in an update. Theme is so sexy.
on Oct 17, 2008
look great, thx for design

Hi there! This is a really nice theme and I want to use it in my new website! Everything seems to be ok, but as far I try to use the WordPress SmoothGallery plugin (http://www.christianschenk.org/projects/wordpress-smoothgallery-plugin/) it does not work on Firefox. In IE and Google Chrome it works smooth! The plugin developer says something about a incompatibility with the jquery, but I could not manage to find it in your theme. Could you pls help me on that?
Thanks and regards,

I’ve just tested it: This theme works great with the WordPress SmoothGallery plugin.
@Valdecir: I guess some other plugin is causing problems.
