Working on a new theme called WordCult

So I have been really busy, and haven’t been able to put up a new post since I got back from WordCamp Denver.

Working on some clients site’s and also a WordPress theme!

I have finished about 80% of the theme which is based off my current theme located on my personal blog site: TheFrosty. TheFrosty is using version 0.1 of the theme, which has many faults and bugs. I have fixed many of them, and probably added a few others.

In version 0.2 I’ve added a new jQuery “featured posts” loader and the option for sticky posts. I have also fixed a lot of CSS errors, it should W3C comply :).

Also in the newer version I have tried to add more to the admin panel, in ways of options.

If you would like to download this theme and test it out before I release it to the community please let me know. I would love to get some feedback or ideas on what you’ve got to say. Just use the contact form or send me a message on Twitter.

Download it:

[download#2#format=1]
[download#1#format=1]
Download Version 0.3

Once you’ve got the theme..

Let me know what you think! Leave you comments and feedback. I am also trying to get a forum up on the site as well.
Thanks!

Update for 0.2:

I’ve updated my personal site: TheFrosty to the latest version of WordCult (0.2). I’ve already found some small bugs and CSS fixes that need to be taken care of. Also I don’t think that the Adsense display is working correctly.
If you’ve noticed any issues please contact me or leave a comment.

 

Update for 0.2.1:

The new version, 0.2.1 brings in some integration from Justin Tadlocks Widgets Reloaded plugin. It’s fully integrated into the theme. So you’ll notice some widgets disappear and be replaced by others. If you need to get them back Justin makes a plugin that will “release” the old widgets on your new theme install.

 

Update: 0.3

Get the newest version of WordCult, download Version 0.3 from this page.

  • Hi, i am new to wordpress and looking for a minimal wordpress magazine theme any suggestions, thanks.

  • Hi! I've just installed your WordCult-theme, and it looks great. But I'm having a problem with links in the footer. Both the Most Commented, and the Most Popular are giving out wrong links, I'm also having trouble getting the theme to work with a sideblog-plugin. There is something in the theme that is overriding my sideblog-plugin-settings, so instead of showing three posts in the sidebar, it shows every post in the category. And the links to the posts gets screwed up as well.

    • If you've downloaded 0.2.1 , there is a build in plugin feature that overrides the basic widgets. Use 0.2 instead, or go into the functions.php file and comment out line 111 & 112.

  • Nah, can't get it to work. Tried with 0.2, and tried removing the lines in functions.php, still the same problem. Random Posts-widget shows random post allright, but they all link to the same wrong post, sideblog-widget won't let me adjust the number of posts to show in the sidebar, but shows every post in the caregory. Annoying.

    • Hmm, that is weird. Those two are calling info from the DataBase, so it could have something to do with that. You may want to check out this new plugin from Justin Tadlock which is a WordPress Query posts widget. This should help, if you place this widget in those location's you can control the amount of posts, order, randomization or any of the nearly 40 options inside the plugin.

  • Hi Austin, I was recently playing around with your WordCult WP theme and I LOVE IT! I think you have some really kool features with it and I just wanted to give you some kudos on some good work. Best of luck debugging it all to your liking.
