GlossyBlue is Now Widget Support
January 22nd, 2007 Filed in: WordPress, News & Updates Jump to commentsAfter some long hours of learning how to widgetizing my GlossyBlue theme, it is finally released! If you previously downloaded and using my GlossyBlue theme, please update your files to newer version. It is now supporting WordPress Widgets. This means you can update and customize your sidebar without any programming knowledge. This is my first widget support WordPress theme. If you find any bug, please contact me. Also, I have setup a demo WordPress site so you can preview my themes before downloading them. Have fun!

Nice to hear this Nick. I can’t wait to incorporate the new updated version to my blog.
One question; are widgets supported on BOTH the GlossyBlue and GlossyBlue Advanced themes?
Thanks!
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Gary - Yes, both themes support widgets.

Hi Nick,
I am really glad to learn new illustrator tutorials from your website. I am too working on a web 2.0 framework but on programming side.
The wordpress theme is neat and looks good.

Mars,
There is probably a conflict with one of the CSS rules. Could you provide a URL to your blog with GlossyBlue installed? I need to see the html source in order to find why.
January 27th, 2007 at 10:46 am
Sure Nick,
Here my URL where i’ve installed Glossy WP Theme: www.marsweb.com.ar/blog
Thnx again
January 27th, 2007 at 11:38 am
Mars,
The quick fix is to add “font-weight: normal” to sidebar links. Example:
#sidebar a, #sidebar a:visited{
color: #495233;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: normal;
}

Hi,
I’m a newbie about Wordpress. I’d like to try your theme and I’ve installed it.
I don’t know why, but the recent post doesn’t show in the footer. Is there something to do?
January 29th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Ren - you need to install the plugin in the folder and activate it.
January 29th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Thnx Nick!, Now, works fine!
January 30th, 2007 at 5:43 am
I’ve installed WP 2.1 and I don’t find any plugin to install. Where can I find this plugin?

Thank you. I am using your theme.

gisli haukur: The reason the comments don’t show on your Guestbook page is because the ’static’ Pages don’t support comments. You can easily add this by editing page.php

Hmm. Seems like posting code isn’t working at all for me. Maybe Nick can fix my comments. If not, just send a mail to christian (a) snowracer.se and I’ll replay with fixed page.php.

Great Theme,
I’m using the translated to hebrew version in my website (http://hofshi.co.cc)
I have one question, do you know how can I add “the_excerpt” option to this theme?
May 28th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Hi Nick,
Just wanted to thenk you for your wordpress glossyblue theme.
Here is another application of this fantastic theme, off course maintaining the XHTM and CSS vlidity (which for me is very important).
By the way….In my logo (which is called by the stylesheet.css) I cant put a link (cause it comes from the css) If I try to insert it in header.php it transforms the page in ‘non XHTML valid.
How did you arrange it here in your website with the logo (top right of the background image) ?
February 21st, 2009 at 8:05 pm
I had a lot of problems to use GlossyBlue with wordpress 2.6 . I had to revert back to Wordpress 2.5. Am I unlucky or is it necessary to update the theme?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
July 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Found a small issue with sidebar.php on WordPress 2.8.1 - In the SQL for showing ’subpages of current page’ (code which you attribute to the K2 theme), you have:
if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_type != 'attachment'")) {
I found that the sidebar was showing links to my revisions of pages, in addition to everything else.
I fixed this by modifying the line to read:
if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_type != 'attachment' AND post_type != 'revision'")) {
There of course may be cases that the above fix doesn’t resolve (I’m still learning WordPress) but it certainly solved my issue!
