Looks very nice, I like your web style - simple and elegant. Keep up the good work.
wow very nice!
possibly i will modify the colors and use it for my new private blog!
Nice theme Matt. I’m testing it right now. I think you should apply depth=1 to wp_list_pages in the header. it looks unorganized when it has to display more than one level of links and you can’t really tell which child pages belong to which parent pages.
Also, the font size is inconsistent in IE6 (about 4px bigger).
A few more fixes to make it look like the preview screenshot would make Cold Blue an excellent theme.
@Small Potato - I’ll get right on to making those fixes.
I’m quite new to WordPress theming, so it’s great to get some help from a pro
Nice and clean - I like it.

Great theme. Testing it right now. It would be great to have a live preview though. Have you thought of putting it on the official Wordpress theme viewer. You can have direct access for the moment without someone validating your registration first.
Schönes WP Theme ColdBlue…
Bei WebRev gibt es ein echt schönes und sauberes Wordpress Template. Hätte ich das mal eher entdeckt ;). ColdBlue wird jedenfalls gebookmarkt.

Hi Matt,
Just tried your great looking theme, but got this error message when I fired it up:
home/…/wordpress/wp-content/themes/ColdBlue/searchform.php on line 2
What’s that about?
Lou
oops, left out the first part of the error message…here’s the full error:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_search_query() in home/…/wordpress/wp-content/themes/ColdBlue/searchform.php on line 2″
Thanks,
Lou
Thats a nice theme, congratulations!!
I love your theme, Matt.
I installed them in my site.
And for PowerUp Coaching, error you found also found while i’m installed theme. And I think i know why this error came out, it’s because wordpress version.
I have error in sidebar.php, when i look up, such as categories use wp_list_categories, in version under 2.1 use wp_list_cats
For searchform, i’m still wondering. For moment i’m not using search form.

There’s some serious IE7-font-fuckup going on with your theme. On firefox everything looks fine, but when viewing the theme on IE7 the font is waaaay to big.

Hi,
Thanks for this theme, I think it’s great. I’m not a web designer but I’d like to add a picture to the header area and after a few hours of trying, have not had any success. I’m hoping someone would be able to point me to the right code!

Matt,
I came across your theme about a week ago through WPDesigner’s website. I have to say you have done an excellent job with it. Muchas Gracias.
I have two questions,
The first is when I added my Astore page, the footer disappeared from every other page except for the Astore, is there something I am not seeing in the code?
The other question, I am afraid to test it out but will the header increase in depth if I add more pages to the navigation area in the header? Or will I need to adjust the code for a deeper header to show additional pages?
Once again, great job.
Mark
Thanks for this cool theme. I’ll test it

Hi there,
This is such a great theme that I would love to use it, but I was wondering if anyone could help a relative WP newbie:
- I have the same problem as “Joe Bloom” — the fonts are nothing like the preview. I see a css directory that was unpacked under the ColdBlue theme directory and in it there exists few .css files. Am I supposed to do anything to these to get this to work correctly?
Any of you folks who got it working: can you let me know if it was ok for you right out of the box?
Thanks!

Hi!
I’m trying to modify this theme to meet my needs but I’m stucking on a strange problem. I removed all the stuff inside the blue and black parts on the header and I’m trying to insert an image there as the blog title as well as an image menu on the top right but absolutely nothing appears there - they are all invisible because one I move the mouse over where the top menu should appears the cursor assumes there is link there but it is hidden. I wanna put a right menu, similar to the top one too, but that is a “plus” - the main issues are the image title and the top menu.
Could you help me an any way, please? I’m sending links of one image of what I have and another showing what I wanna do for you to understand me better.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

For anyone that may be wondering where the style.css is located for the code blue template I am listing it here. For some reason its not in the usual spot
To get to the template:
/wp-content/themes/ColdBlue/css/style.css
If you want to be able to edit the template from your admin panel, just do the following.
1) Open up the header.php file and change the path to the style.css file
from:
…/css/style.css to /style.css
2) next move the style.css file from the css directory to the template home directory overwriting the current style.css file.
After this if your permissions are set correctly you should be able to edit your css file directly from the admin panel of your website.
Nice and clean thank you
Very simple and clean! Might use it in future.
The theme is very nice,I like!

First of all: I really do like the look of your theme,
… so I tried it, but it didn’t work on my site. I’m still using Wordpress 2.0.10 and will be updating soon. Will that do the trick?
Actually all I see is the header, and when I look on the source code the search-div is not closed and everything after that is just not coming. (today is October 25th as you’re not showing the dates of the posts here
Maybe you could check on your ‘latest-theme.zip’ for me? Thanx.
Beautiful theme. I’m testing it here:
http://blog.marklamerton.com/
I have a question. I have tags (in addition to categories) on my posts but they do not show up on my blog with this theme.
Thanks, Mark
Matt,
First of all, a superb theme. Thanks!
I’ve made some minor changes you might want to consider for the next version:
- background.gif was pretty big, so I’ve changed it to 1px wide;
- header_background.gif was pretty big too, so I’ve changed it to 1px wide;
- wrapper.gif was again pretty big, so I’ve changed it to 1px high;
That brings the total image size down to about 6kb rather than about 45kb
I’m using your theme on my site (http://davehope.co.uk) so feel free to grab the images and use them in the next release if there is one.
I’m probably going to compress the css too, but only once I’ve read through it and know which classes are in which file.
Thanks again,
Dave
Ohh, and this is for Mark Lamerton:
Mark, you’ll need to change the_categories() to the_tags() in single.php, page.php and index.php. For example:
Dave

[...] 终于经不住WordPress的诱惑，OnceBlog正式由Z-blog转换到WordPress。 其实一直在找一个好空间，并且能适合问我的。本想能淘个国外免费的空间先撮合着，不过虽然找到了可用的，但还是被我放弃了。国外收费空间虽然性价比极高，而且稳定，但是穷学生我还是没有足够的Money出手，大部分都是年付，而且人民币对美元这笔数目不小。 只能瞄准国内的Linux空间了，因为须支持mod_rewrite,在网上搜了个遍，CPH合租服务器，还有盘古和WordPress中文的合租主机，虽然和适合架设ＷＰ博客，但价格都偏高了些，而且盘古的服务器在重庆网通机房，我这边速度不是很好，本地ping其提供的合作主机演示站点www.qqtag.com为340ms，速度无法让我满意。 最终选择了梦游的ME-100空间，近来梦游的口碑还不错。而且这款主机和适合我，100M容量，15G/月的流量都能满足我的要求，选电信线路，网速很不错，而且梦游提供其他线路的镜像。一主机上能建两站点。 我在梦游的论坛上发现了zhizhe提供梦游主机优惠，他提供了我个88折优惠，而且还热心帮我解决了几个梦游主机上装WP遇到的问题。在此感谢zhizhe,并推荐下有兴趣的朋友可以找他优惠购买梦游主机。 至于由Z-blog转WordPress的方法，我是参考月光的方法，上传月光的movabletype插件，导出为MT格式，再在WP里从Movable Type 或 TypePad Blog 中导入数据。具体操作规程可以参照这里。整个过程十分简单。 转WP后，我更改了链接的显示方式。参考众多WordPress Permalinks设置的文章后，最后选择现在的URL输出方式，原因是这样的方试我比较喜欢。 关于主题的选择，测试时已经修改了好几个自己蛮喜欢的二栏主题，大概是原先的Z-blog用的是三栏的吧，现在对二栏的主题一直情有独钟。最终还是看上了选择了简洁的Cold Blue，感觉很些符合我的风格。而且支持Widgets，自己修改了一部分CSS，在某些细节上稍微修改了些，就启用了。现在对此主题的留言栏不够满意，过几天再对此进行下修改。 回顾下，在使用梦游空间装WP后，遇到的几个问题： 1.Permalink Redirect和PageNavi这两个插件存在冲突，同时开启后，分页栏链接无效，而且提交数据，数据库服务器老是报错。我开始一直不明原因，鼓捣了很久才发现是这两插件的冲突问题。禁用Permalink后，正常。 2.一些文章的内容无法显示。不论在index页，single页，文章标题和发布信息，tags等能显示，但内容始终无法显示。到现在我还不明原因，最后是重装WP，重新导入数据才解决的。估计是哪里的设置破坏了数据库。 [...]

First of all, this is a great wordpress theme. Being a PHP developer myself, I’d have to say you write really clean code and markup. I happened into your theme through several sites listing your theme as a great design! I’m now using it on one of my blog sites, modified — at http://www.gearcentric.com.
Question about version 1:2: This is nitpicky, but I’m trying to learn more about Wordpress theming…
In index.php, lines 29 - 33, why did you decide to break these up into three php blocks:
If there’s no reason behind it, and it’s simply your preference, to each his own, but if there was a reason, I’d really love to know, just for my own education.
Thanks, and amazing job on this theme!
I think your comment system doesn’t like php blocks, completely understandable, I’ll try to obfuscate the code a bit.
Here they are, index.php lines 29 - 33:
