In short: WPFreemium is a two column WordPress Theme heavily designed for multi-authored blogs. WPFreemium features a deep integration of Gravatar images for all post authors, author profiles, and comments. Some of the primary goals for creating this theme was for it to be light weight, fast, and really highlight on the contributing authors. Here’s a few screenshots:

Author Page:
Here’s a quick run down of features:
- Valid xHTML Strict 1.0 / CSS
- Code is well commented for the non technical savvy
- Sidebar Widgets enabled
- Custom Front Page with 3 featuring articles
- By default - 6 advertisement spots on all pages
- Gravatars highly Supported for Comments, Author Profiles and Author Posts.
- Author Byline + Promotion on single pages
- Author Profiles feature prominent image of the author with bio, contact details and more
- Image Gallery Support
- Yes Jeffr0, a Print Stylesheet is included.
- Favicon + iPhone Webclip icon Ready
- SEO Optimized title tags and headers
- 404 Error Page notifies admin each time someone sumbles across a broken link so they can fix it.
- …and Lots of minor details
Change Log:
- 2.0 - Completely revamped the backend along with a UI face lift. Using Blueprint’s CSS framework and grid system.
- 1.3 - Bug fixed in single.php - It didn’t generate the author’s promotion section with the correct author. To fix, move “
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/addons/author-metadata.php'); ?>” on line 51 in single.php file above the loop, anywhere above line 8 - 1.2 - IE Bug prevented the logo from being displayed. To fix, just remove “
h1#logo a { text-indent: -9999px; }” in header.php on line 31 - 1.1 - Typo, spelled Administrator wrong in author.php on line 25 (Adminitrator)
Recommended Plugins:
I’d recommend installing WP Limit Posts Automatically which enables you to customize the excerpts on the homepage, archives, and more.Things to do before you install:
- Update the image with your logo.
- Change both, the favicon and iPhone webclip icon to match your brand. (Currently WordPress logos)
- Inside addons->ads->ads125×125.php: change the source to your correct advertisement page. currently its pointing to “blogdomain.com/advertise”
- I think that’s it. Upload the entire folder, “WPFreemium” in your themes directory and have fun!
Drumroll… Will there be Support?
Of course silly. BUT this is my first public theme so bare with me. I’ve tried coding for public releases making sure you guys can understand what’s going on in the backend and using best practices (always!). If you find something broken or whatever, shout me an email from the email address in _README.txt file, thanks!Future releases:
Here are a few things I plan on adding in future versions for this theme:- Theme Options for constant variables.
- Image uploader and cropping tool for logo and other images.
- A few aesthetics modifications
- Ad management (pt’s style)
- Fixes for unknown bugs you tell me about.
- X Feature that’ll be pretty cool.
