80/20 - WordPress Magazine Theme

I agree with the above… love the minimal layout, but I think the “article/post” page needs to be reworked abit. There is a waste of a column, where the “date, author, # comments” are shown. If there is a way to better utilize this space would be ideal. For example, showing comments would be a nice feature.

Also, the way the featured images and the first post pictures are handled as mimare has mentioned.

agreed with the above.. i think this is the best theme on the marketplace.. but the single post view is making me hesitant. Is it possible to have some other options?

I had a support ticket filed today for a new single-post template which I’ve provided in the forums, so if you wanted the single-post content to fit the full width of the content area that wouldn’t be a problem. Those files are available.

Thanks for checking out the theme :)

Mods to the single.php and style.css files will let you have your single-post template like this: http://bit.ly/VMdqe0

Very impressive and unique design! One bad thing I noticed is that there is not enough space for 300×250px banner at the sidebar. I guess that the majority of those that need to have a magazine style website will need to have at least one ad zone to fit a square banner.

Cheers!

At the moment there’s space for standard 125×125 ads and some great plugins to do the job. But I’m always open ears to suggestions so cheers for your thoughts, vadims.

Thanks everybody for the great feedback so far and for all purchases made.

For those who have already picked up their copies – I sent in the first update yesterday to fix a couple of small niggles and the review team have just approved that update. So I would recommend grabbing the files again from your downloads section to get your hands on those couple of fixes.

If you’ve made mods to the theme and don’t feel comfortable overwriting the folder, the important files to update are:

/skeleton/base.css
/js/init.js

And remember the door is always open to the support forum at http://pau1winslow.ticksy.com for if you have any questions or need any help at all. The current average response time for support according to my ticksy stats is just over an hour :)

Paul,

Is the single page issue fixed inside the current package? I seen it on your demo and they are right, it doesn’t look good currently. I want to pickup this theme but only if that is fixed, and I am concerned about not being able to use a 300×250px ad in the sidebar. Is that being addressed?

If those 2 things are good then I am all over this. Please let me know so I can decide which theme is going to dress my site.

PaulWinslow

Hey,

Yes if you wanted to change the style of the single-post page, those mods are ready and waiting for you in the support forum.

Increasing the sidebar width is tricky. At the moment there’s space enough for 125×125 ads but I will be keeping this in mind, if there’s something I can do I will absolutely do it.

Default-user

Thanks Paul,

I think I am going to hold off. The sidebar size would steer me away as well as having to do a mod right from the start. Really want a theme that is ready to go. Its a great start though and I will check your stuff out in the future.

No worries, beanfan :)

Nice design. Is it possible to have cutsom widgets? unlimited sidebars? If yes, I am on it. Let me know!

PaulWinslow

Hey,

If you needed unlimited sidebars there’s a handful of plugins that are doing a great job of that (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unique-page-sidebars/)

3 custom widgets already ship with this theme (tweets, issue info, latest posts), but sure you can get your hands on more via plugins if that’s what you’re asking.

Hi,

I’ve made some modifications on my website with this theme (fixed headebar, fixed sidebar, shift logo on header bar), but I have some problems when I resize the navigator to mobile dimensions…

1) Logo doesn’t appear 2) Sidebar is on background

I just want to disable the sidebar on mobile display, and put the logo on the header…

My website : www.thestandart.net

Thanks

Best regards,

PaulWinslow

Hi Francois, thanks for purchasing the theme. If you’d like to open a new ticket in the support forum I’d be happy to take a look at your code to see how I can help.

Lovely theme. For the navigator bar, does it have dropdown menu’s for sub categories?

Also how easy is it to change the colours of the theme. Would like a different one in place of the orange.

Havent purchased but swinging that way if these two things are easy enough.

PaulWinslow

Hi mazzah,

1. Absolutely, I’ll update the demo to show the child-menu drops

2. It’ll be the easiest thing you’ve ever done ;) Just navigate to Appearance > Theme Options and pick any colour you like (http://bit.ly/VH26Ez)

Nice theme. Two things I would love to see ‘fixed’ before buying – category page shouldn’t have orange hover with category name repeating on each story image, also how can i add twitter, facebook, etc. buttons in the center gutter between new post and featured post (below comments)? Thx.

Pulling out the category labels from archive templates is easily done, more than happy to help you out with that in the support forum.

I’m not entirely sure what part of the theme you mean, are you able to grab a screenshot to clarify that for me?

Thx for your response, here’s what I mean by adding social icons to the middle aisle, are video files supported for featured or headline images? Pretty front page and nice theme.

PaulWinslow

Got ya, that would absolutely be something I could help you with in the support forum.

At the moment it won’t support videos in place of the featured image, but they can easily be popped into the post content.

Hi, I just installed and activated this theme on 3.4.2. When I go to create a new post, I’m not able to select a template type (i.e. homepage template). I checked out template-home.php which has the following header: /* Template Name: Homepage */ I’m not sure what I can do to remedy this, any thoughts?

The problem is using an smartphone if I click on an headline of an article the article is not shown. What is it?

There must be something totally wrong in the mobile version. You always see first all articles and never simply an article. And the problem is you cannot use the theme simply as an desktop version for the browser. That would be enough. But instead all people looking with a smartphone smile and ask what it is.

PaulWinslow

Smartphone tests seem okay, Michael. I’ve replied to your ticket in the support forum :)

Hi Paul,

I have posted a couple of questions in the support forum yesterday, but never received feedback on those…

And great work :)

PaulWinslow

Hi there – I’ve been without internet for a couple of days so I haven’t been able to access the support forum. Thankfully I’m back up tonight so I’ll work on your ticket very soon. Thank you for your patience :)
