Nice theme. Yes will be this theme too.
on Jul 20, 2007
I keep getting a fatal error when using this theme.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_search_query() in /www/www/wp-content/themes/silver-light-01/searchform.php on line 2
Let me know if there’s a fix.
Thanks!

Aaron@ may i know your wordpress version?
on Aug 2, 2007
Hello and good job,
just wanted to tell you that i loved the theme when i’ve seen it on wordpress theme viewer, i’ve modified it to liquid (percentage) interface and also tweaked a bit on the semantics and removed some code from it (too many un-necesary divs), even transformed into xhtml 1 strict… i find it most suitable for a series of web tutorials for beginer web designers, it looks quite like a wiki interface
Excellent job there, up with it
on Aug 8, 2007
I’m trying to use this template with 3 main pages and 10 subpages to each main page.
Problem is that subpages also appear in the topmenu. See http://www.lokalguide.dk for explanation. Is there any way to change this?
Excellent work by the way. Just love the designs.

Hi, this is a great theme, but I was wondering how to change the links in the “Meta” part in the sidebar. Please let me know the answer, thank you!
on Sep 5, 2007
Love the theme. I have just one question: Some of my readers like to subscribe to the comments feed of a particular post, where is the link for that? If it there isn’t one, is it easy to add?
Sorry, I guess that was two questions.
on Sep 19, 2007
Would love to see this with 3 column .. will ya?
on Sep 22, 2007
Will this theme still work with the latest release of Wordpress 2.3?
on Sep 26, 2007
Thanks for the theme! Works well on WP 2.3. I just added a few things like a comments feed, permalinks link, and other post meta information on the single page, which I used on my other themes.
on Oct 1, 2007
Love this theme and the new blog oh blog theme.
I have two questions (;
1. can I change the sizes of the columns in the blog oh blog theme?
2. How can I do I put my own header image in. I have been messing around and replaced the header image that came with the theme but my image doesn’t show up.
on Oct 8, 2007
I updated to wordpress 2.3
I want to show the related topics and tag cloud. I already uploaded plugin.
I included tags in new posts.
But the tags do not show up.
Tell me how can I modify your theme.
on Oct 8, 2007

tags is enabled. if from themes.wordpress.net the files is not update yet.
on Nov 10, 2007
Thanks to you!
It’s a very good theme, simple and pretty.
I don’t know why the right sidebar gets on the bottom of the page. But it’s a problem with others wordpress’ themes, I guess.
Have you a paypal account for a (very symbolic) contribution to your work?
Please let me know!

By default, the theme seems to put links to all of the pages at the top. How can I make it not put a link up there for a specific page that I don’t want up there?
on Dec 11, 2007
@Keith: Please edit the header.php for this.
on Jan 5, 2008
Thanks Bob for this theme. I am using it over at brendan-brewster.com. It has good clean lines and a no-nonsense layout.
on Jan 5, 2008
Whoops, sorry, Jai. But BOB is a good name anyway.
on Jan 8, 2008
Awesome theme! One quick question:
Is there a way for me to enable commenting any new page I create that shows up along the top nav bar? Here’s a sample page that I can’t seem to enable comments on, even though I checked both boxes in the discussion tab in the page-edit window.
http://thegreenskin.com/greenskin-lore/
Comments are enabled across my entire site, so this is kind of weird. I’m guessing I need to somehow edit the template?
on Jan 17, 2008
hi, you know how the space is so wide in the right sidebar - is it possible to fit two 120X600 ads next to each other? Please help…
I don’t want a third column per say - i just want to fit two ads side by side and keep everything else as is…
thanks in advance
on Jan 31, 2008
Really like the Theme. Works well with IE6 and IE7 and Firefox.
One question is how to take out the time in the posts. I just want to display the date when I create a new post.
Thanks,
Steve
on Feb 22, 2008
Love this theme, I’m using a modified version of it on my site, thanks for the awesome theme
on Feb 24, 2008
Thanks, Bob, I’m very happy to find this theme. I run a blog part of my website on your theme.
There’s only one thing I need your help.
There’s no “Previous Article” and “Next Article” showing on posts although it looks like those links exist in index.php. Since I know nothing about php, I cannot find a way to show those “Previous”, “Next” links…
This situation was same on your test run available on your page.
Hope you can help…
Cheers,
Otto

Hey Bob,
very nice theme! Anyone knows how to make pictures visible when going to categories? They aren’t displayed there.
on Mar 25, 2008
Very nice theme. I was able to add a sidebar, change the sidebar position and use 2 different sidebars depending on the template without any prior knowledge of PHPor CSS. For the record, I do have limited programming experience. I’ve just used google on the wordpress documentation and then was just trial and error. If any of you guys need help, just le me know and I can share with you the modifications that I made on the theme. Also if the theme author wants I can send the modified theme to his inbox. For the modified theme just take a look at my website.
on Apr 11, 2008
I’ve installed this theme on my blog and I modified some things, now he got 3 columns and other minor changes.
Nice work!
on May 25, 2008
Thanks for this theme. I installed it yesterday and it looks really good. I made some small changes to it like enabling hCard, xFolk and hAtom. Maybe I will also add a custom header.
on Jun 8, 2008
This is a really good theme, but i had like to know if it is possible to have a header image instead of just text?
on Jun 9, 2008
Thanks for this! A nice clean theme with room to experiment - just what I was looking for!
on Jun 18, 2008
Hello,
I’ve just installed your silver light theme with Wordpress 2.5.1 but the native wordpress widgets are not working displaying. I can’t change the sidebar. If this a known ‘feature’ of this theme?
Thank you
Joss
on Jun 19, 2008
@ JOSH
To put widgets on your website what you have to do is select sidebar 2 instead of sidebar 1. On the widgets page, on the right side, you will see drop-down box with sidebar 1 selected.Change it to sidebar 2!! Thats it!!
on Jun 24, 2008
@ashwin -
When I put a widget on sidebar 2 as you say (e.g. calendar), the complete sidebar of the theme is erased and only the widget stays…
Any ideas?
M.
on Jun 24, 2008
@mimi - That’s because the widgets override the default content in the sidebar. So either you can keep the default content or use widgets to reproduce your sidebars as you want.
on Jun 24, 2008
@Jai - Bummer! I thought it was possible to combine them (like… the widget above and then the theme sidebar beneath). But thanks for the quick reply.
on Jun 24, 2008
@mimi -
Does the theme add anything except what is possible with the widgets? I just built sidebar 2 with what was available… see http://www.tidplus.net
on Jun 24, 2008
@Steven - lol, you’re right! When I just added one widget it looked like it blew the whole design of the sidebar… but it actually works :o)
on Jun 26, 2008
Great work on the theme!
But i’d apreciate some help: is there a way to enable page posts? and gravatar?
Both are enabled on wordpress configuration, but they don’t work properly with the theme.
Thanks!
on Jun 26, 2008
@Andre:- What do you mean by page posts ?
And for Gravatar support to the theme, open up comments.php from the theme folder and find this line :-
< ?php comment_text() ?>Replace this with the following code :-
< ?php
if (get_bloginfo('version')>=2.5)
{ echo get_avatar( $comment->comment_author_email, $size = ‘50′, $comment->comment_author_link); }
?>
< ?php comment_text() ?>
Now, add the following code to your style.css file :-
.gravs {margin-top:20px;}.avatar {float:left; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px; padding:3px; border:1px solid #999999;}
Voila! You got gravatars
on Jun 26, 2008
@Jai:- Sorry, i’d like to say “page comments”, not “page posts”.
And a lot of thanks for the help!
on Jun 26, 2008
@Andre:- ah, i already found (in the forum) how to enable comments on posts. thanks again!
on Jun 26, 2008
@Andre:- For the comments to display on your page, just open page.php file and add this code where ever you want to show the comments. :-
< ?php comments_popup_link('Leave a Comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>on Jul 2, 2008
I’ve been using this on my site for the past few months and love it

Great theme, had a few issues getting the Gravatars working in Wordpress 2.5.1 using the code above, the version check wasn’t working and the extra tag before had to be removed.
on Jul 14, 2008
Hi
I just launched my first blog and luv this theme and will check out others here.
One question, how to i add google analytics to the theme. I cannot see a body tag in any of your templates ahead of which to place google’s javascript
Thank you
on Jul 15, 2008
@simon:-
You can do this manually by putting code in the footer, or check out http://andywibbels.com/post/1394 on how to use a plugin…
on Jul 18, 2008
I’m a bit curious as to why there is no edit link in single entry view. Sure I can go through the WP admin, search for the entry and then edit it but it feels like it would be better to have a direct link to it from the entry itself.
As far as I can see the edit link only appears in multiple post views (looking at entries by tag, by category or just the entry listing in general).
on Jul 24, 2008
@iCalvyn:- please let me know if you ever find it. I love this theme but I would like three cols as well.
