The “Seven Five” theme which I use on my personal website theSevenFive.com has become extremely popular since I first released it several months ago. Well, I just released Seven Five 1.6 which includes a bunch of great new customization features. You can now style the theme background, font colors, border colors and link colors right through the brand new theme options page. You can also arrange all the home page sections in whatever order you like using widgets. Have a look at the video below to get a better idea as to what I am talking about. You can download the new Seven Five 1.6 theme free right on the Press75.com home page. Have fun!!!

Delivering Quality WordPress Solutions Since 2008
Thank you so much for the updates. Being able to customize the entire theme from the options page is spot on. Also, not being able to organize the home page sections however I want was something that kept me from using the original version. Thanks again…
Thanks… more updates on the way for this theme very soon including Vimeo and YouTube integration.
Excellent theme. I really love it. I’d love to see support for Facebook and Soundcloud – but it’s already awesome. Great work!
t
Thanks… glad to hear you like it. I will be integrating several new social features within the next few weeks. Facebook is on the list as well as YouTube and Vimeo.
Hi Jason. Thank you so VERY VERY much for the updates. This theme will stick with me forever. It just keeps getting better and better. I have a YouTube vlogger channel and with the updates to come, I see that it will be even more easy to implement them into my theme. Is it possible that you will make it so, that it can be set up to an account and then retrieve my videos as they are uploaded?
You are the best developer/designer out there :D
Hi Jason, just to let you know the flickr feed does NOT work in either seven five version 1.0 or 1.5. Please check whether the download files are coded right or not. I’m in love with seven five. Have modified it to a great extent. The 1.5 last.fm feature and twitter is NOT working as well. Thanks :D
The demo and my own personal site (both linked below) are running 1.5 without any Flickr or Twitter issues. For Flickr, make sure you have the RSS feed address added to the options page. If Twitter isn’t working, you probably have conflicting plugins activated. I would recommend that if you need further support that you purchase a support package for the theme.
Love your theme, was looking for a streamlined Lifestream feed theme with minimal blog integration and this is perfect, thank you very much.
Just a note on flickr not working; after inspecting my code it seems like I get a general feed instead of my own no matter how I set the feed (atom,rss etc). The link does however refer to my profile correctly.
As stated above… The Seven Five theme demo and my own personal site are running 1.5 without any Flickr or Twitter issues. Make sure you have the proper RSS feed address added to the options page. If you need further support, please purchase a support package for the theme.
I do appreciate that I have to get the extra support, I’d just thought I’d bring the Flickr issue to your attention. I’ve tried the different variations and versions of both the RSS and ATOM feeds, with different localization languages and I’ve even hard coded my rss feed to the widgets/flickr.php. AND tried several of my different accounts and none of them works. All I get is the standard “all user” feed.
Right, was a conflict with the Lifestream plugin.
I tell ya… 90% of the time, it’s a 3rd party plugin that causes conflicts. Good to hear you worked it out.
A question on updating from 1.0 to 1.5? I have the 1.0 modified and I can’t seem to find the “if upgrading do this..” in the readme. Is it possible that you could help me out here?
The theme has been completely reworked, so you will probably have to re-customize 1.5.
Thats not very nice done Jason :) And what with the new updates soon to come, will I have to do that again and again and… I put hours into making it mine so as I said, not very nice of you. I mean, you must have known that some people use the theme today and has made it there personal? I love the theme so thats what I must do, but I hope it will be easyer i the future…
Timm… You have to understand that it is pretty much impossible for me to anticipate the potentially infinite number of customizations random users might make to these themes. Would you prefer that I don’t ever provide theme updates? It is a bit disappointing to read comments like this, especially considering that this is a free theme that I have spent hours of my own time to produce for users like yourself. For future customizations… I might recommend that you create a child theme.
Jason, please dont be disappointed, I might have put my words out a little harsh. I appreciate your free themes, your time and the fact that you keep such great work free. All I am saying is that WHEN you make a free theme and by that, make some people that love your fine work dependent on that theme, then it is a sad fact that we (I), have to start over each time you update it. You have the skills to make a code thingy, that can make an update possible I like to think, but im possible wrong on that and if that is not industry standard then im just a spoiled little s*** (NOT)!
Please, it’s no secret that by making a free theme, you spread your name and your work, it’s a part of your marketing and I myself have bought two of your themes and I also love them and use them and look forward to the updates, so dont feel offended when I ask for the possibillity of a easier way to update.
I will look into this child theme you mention, thank you and also, just to be all straight here. Take a look at the reply I made BEFORE I made the above question ;D
High five from Denmark and thank you for your reply by e-mail today.
No worries Timm… I may have misunderstood the intention of your comment. Of course I am always researching ways to make theme updates (when I provide them) easier for those that have customized the theme. But again… it is pretty much impossible for me to know and plan for all the customizations you have made when updating the theme. Plus… in order to improve and add functionality, the theme code often has to change from the original version. This is why I recommend that you do not customize the theme directly. By creating a child theme for the original, you will ensure that none of your customizations will be lost when the theme is updated.
Super Jason :D
I took your advice on child themes and I am currently reading this guy, Ian Stewarts great guide on “how-to”. If anyone would like to learn this to, you could visit http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-theme-blank-framework/
I fully understand what you explain, so child theme it is – tomorrow that is as the time in Copenhagen says past midnight soon :D
Thank you again Jason.
I’m just trying out this theme and I cannot see where to my last.fm log on details to get this widget to work. I can add the widget – but there’s no area in the theme option similar to flickr, twitter and delicious where i can add my username etc.
Last.FM is powered by a plugin. Input your Last.FM details under the “Settings” menu.
Hi, the theme looks great but it does not seem to work… subpages are displaying but the main/blog page won’t show the content/blogs…
ah nevermind… found it ;)
Good to hear… if you need further support, please purchase a support package.
Stephen, would you be so kind to figure it out to me? Because I have the same problem and don’t find the solution. Thanks in advance!
Okay, you have to install the “Post”-Widget. And mark all Posts as “Uncategorized”. BTW: In Twitter-widget not only my tweets show up, but all who mention “drikkes” – which is quite annoying, because it’s a quite common norwegian word.
Thats just the way the twitter widget works for now. I will of course be making improvements in the future.
Isn’t it possible to catch up with the RSS-Feed of the person’s tweets? How the widget does it now? Fetch the global Twitter search for that specific username? This improvement together with a pagination would be awesome.
But your work is great anyway. The Side Blog theme looks good, too.
The next version will fix this issue.
Jason, long time fan. I purchased On Demand and can’t wait for the new version!! I have been using Seven Five for over a year and love it. I went to upgrade and can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the Twitter Feeds to work. I hate bugging you when I’m not on support for this theme, but I can’t believe I can’t figure this out. Any quick thoughts?
If you are an On Demand customer, you should have access to the support forums. Just post your question within the Seven Five support forum. If you don’t have access to the support forums, just send me an email so that I can get you verified.
Love the new themes. Keep them coming.
Thank you very much… and I will.
where is the code that defines what elements get the fade affect (i.e. the logo, menu, etc.) at? I don’t see it anywhere. My guess is i’m just overlooking it…
Anything with the “fade” class gets faded on hover.
awesome ive been awaiting an update for ages :)
Well… then hopefully you will like what I have done with the theme.
Awesome theme and many thanks for providing it for free. In the theme demo there is a blog link up the top, do you need access to the support forums to find out how to add this feature? Also, on the press75 homepage the video popup box that appears when I click the ‘Watch A Video tour’ button, is this an extra provided in the support forums?
Just add a new page, call it “Blog” and use the page template named “Blog”. That video popup is a feature that I made specifically for Press75.com, but is something that is included with some of my other themes as well.
Hi Jason
Thanks for the free theme ; your site designs are very good and very attractive.
I have installed this theme and it doesn’t displays any of my blog posts ; I can see the header and pages buttons but nothing else, can’t seem to find anything in the options page either.
Please can you let me know what to do to get this working.
Kind regards
It sounds like something may have gone wrong when you uploaded the theme. Very sorry, but I only provide support via the Press75.com support forums.
Hi,
Is the theme upgrade to wordpress 3.0 ?
I have installed and the “theme Options” not work. In view source nothing is associated to the link:
Theme Options
Thanks
@rbfigueira: yes, it works.
i have now some problems with the twitter widget.
i don’t see any tweets. just the sidebar on the left side… :/
any ideas?
Please note that all theme related questions need to be posted within the Press75.com support forums.
are you kidding me?
you can see it here, too: http://www.press75.com/themes/seven-five-theme-demo/
the twitter widget doesn’t work any more! it’s just a note for you ;)
I love this theme, and I’ve installed it on wordpress 3.0. I cannot use it, if you activate the theme you will see a blank page, no style.
only the titles of the pages and the title of the blog will be visible.
Hi Fran, I was having the same problem on WordPress 3.0 but it turned out to be a plugins issue. I disabled all my plugins, activated the theme and then turned them all back on one by one.
In my case the problem was that I already had the Last.fm Records plugin (that is including with this theme) installed separately. Once I deleted that plugin everything worked great! Including the Twitter widget.
Thanks Jason for the great theme. Now I just need to figure out how to get pagination on my blog page ;-)
Will be adding pagination within the next update.
Emily, any tips on getting the last.fm widget to work? Same as you, I already had the Last.FM Records plugin installed. Now, after deactivating and deleting it, I can’t configure the seven five version or reinstall the original. Weird.
Other then this, love the theme!
Sounds like something may have just gone wrong during the upload process. I would try and re-upload and activate the theme. If you need further support for the Seven Five theme, please purchase a support package. Thanks…
If you install it don’t forget to edit the widgets to include the Latest Posts or whatever components you want to appear otherwise only the header and footer appear! Thanks for the lovely theme Jason.
Glad you like it…
Hi Jason,
is it posible to build a search-form in the theme? maybe in the manu-bar? is it possible for me to do that?
lovely theme!!
This would not be that hard to do, but please note that I do not provide theme customization services.
Wow. This is an amazing theme (I was after a clean, ‘hub’-like space for my social media stuffs) – and really user friendly! I found it super-easy to install. My advice? Make sure you WATCH the video above; deactivate all your plug-ins; make sure you go to Appearance > Theme Options to customise the widgets; THEN use Appearance > Widgets to order them on your page.
Now, the only thing I need help with (but alas am not a paid-up forum user) is how to display the first few lines of my blog only (accompanied by a ‘continue reading’ button, as per your own blog, Jason)? Currently, the whole long post displays. And as you may have noticed, I have a tendency to waffle on a bit… ;)
Hopefully I’ll figure it out eventually. Am going to have a bash at customising colours next. Look forward to the You Tube/Vimeo and SoundCloud integration in the future *hint hint*
Nat x
Just add the “more” tag within your post editor wherever you want the post to be cut off at. Glad you like the theme.
OMG. Now I feel like a fool! I didn’t know the ‘more’ tag existed! Well, you learn something new everyday, eh? Thanks for the tip. And for the theme in general. You rock! ;)
Thank you… glad I could help.
I am not a paying customer (yet), but I have a couple of quick questions.
1. I do not have a widget in my widgets section to support the “Custom Feed” section in the Theme Options section. How do I get that so I may add it to the homepage widgets?
2. Does the simple video embedder plugin not work with this theme? I see it in the add new post section. But when I publish it does not show up in the post. Please lend some advice.
I am in the middle of evaluating free wordpress themes for my site.
1. It’s there… just look for “Seven Five – Feed”.
2. The Simple Video Embedder is not integrated into this theme for several reasons… primary because for this particular theme it would be just as easy to add video within your post editor.
Thanks I am not sure how I missed that one lol. Too bad for the simple vid embedder would have been slick. I love this theme becuase it is so vanilla and will be a cinch to skin. Do you recommend any of your other themes that share the features of this one but have simple embedder and are very stripped down design wise to allow easier skinning?
Again… the Simple Video Embedder isn’t necessary with the Seven Five theme. If you wat to embed video, just place the URL to your video within the post editor wherever you want your video to be displayed.
What a excellent theme！I like it so much.So clean,so beautiful.Thank you.
I really want…….just like ” Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 next ” at the button.So I can see the older posts.How to make it?
Pagination will be included within the next update.
“pagination”……haha,I’m not good at English.
Thank you so much.
No problem…
Hi Jason,
This is by far the best theme for WordPress I’ve come across. Thank you so much for your work. If you have a donate-button, I would love to buy you your next cup of coffee.
Looking forward to the pagination! Thanks once again.
Glad you like the theme, and thank you very much for your comments. I have allot of great new features in the works for the next update.
Hi Jason,
Thanks a lot for the update, lots of new and nice features! However, it seems that pagination isn’t working for the blog-template. It works great for categories, but not for blog.php.
A known issue or is it likely I’m doing something wrong?
This is a known issue that will be fixed within the next update.
Hey,
Thanks for the theme–looks great!
I had a minor issue with the Last.fm plugin included–my blog is using a /blog folder for the WordPress installation, but the permalinks are based on the root directory.
In the last.fm.records.php, ~line 61, it’s getting this option:
I changed it to the following, which outputs the WordPress URL (which is usually the same, but can be different!):
And that did the trick!
I know that you didn’t develop the plugin and I’m not asking for a fix or anything, just want to post this here in case someone else comes across the same issue. :)
Matt
Oops, WordPress ate my PHP!
Line 61 has this as the default:
echo get_option(‘home’);
And if you have this issue, changing it to this should fix it:
echo get_option(‘siteurl’);
So instead of the ‘home’ option, you’re getting the ‘siteurl’ option.
Matt
One last thing…
I’ve uploaded the entire last.fm.records.php file here, so you can just grab this if it’s easier: http://pastebin.com/s6X7SvEF
Thanks again…
Thanks for the heads up…
hi, when i click on the last.fm icons on my page, the url consists of my domain name and the last.fm link to the particular track. I changed the php file to ‘siteurl’ but to no avail. Please help.
I will get that fixed within the next update. Thanks for the heads up.
The delicious option doesn’t seem to work for me. I get the following when I enter my delicious username. Anyone’s username actually.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity() in /home1/khelidan/public_html/mydigitaldimension/wp-content/themes/SevenFive/widgets/delicious.php on line 22
Actually got it working sort of. It seems it doesn’t like the format of the feed address.
It doesn’t like the “v2″
http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/feedyourself
I changed the address to http://feeds.delicious.com/rss/feedyourself and it worked. However the text description is missing.
I will do a little testing on this when I get a chance this week… but I have not had any issues with Delicious feeds as of yet. Thanks for posting what you found.
Text description showed up eventually. So it’s just the format of the feed address it doesn’t like.
I modified your code in delicious.php and removed “v2″ from the address.
I’m using WP 3.0.1
Thanks… I will get that added and publish an update.
I also have issues with delicious widget. Worked until today and suddenly error occured:
-
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity() in /wp-content/themes/Seven-five/widgets/delicious.php on line 22
-
I’m on the Seven Five 1.6.1 and WordPress 3.2.1
Delicious has changed which is why the Delicious widget isn’t working anymore.
Love this theme! Any chance of adding multiple custom feeds? Pretty please?
Possibly within a future release.
I just installed the theme and it broke my blog (error in function.php on line 16). I’m new to WP and have no idea how to fix this. Suggestions?
Make sure you are using the latest version of WordPress (3.01).
is there a possibility to integrate his tumblr feed?
Actually you could with the RSS widget.
is there a possibility to let the widgets / feed load on ajax? is there any problem with one rss feed (maintance) the hole website didnt load …
Is there a possibility of adding a sidebar to the right? There’s all that empty space there that could be utilized for additional widgets or plugins.
Sure, anything is possible to do. Please do note that the theme is already 960px wide which is standard for most screen resolutions which is why there is no sidebar.
My resolution is 2560 x 1440 and it moves the twitter feed/flickr feed etc to the right of the screen.. so it does not appear to be locked to 960px wide… or there is a div issue.
Love this simple theme Jason; but just wanted to let you know that it is having issues in the IE 8 beta (even in “compatibility view”.) For example, on your own demo site, the headings are invisible until moused over. On my own WordPress 3.0.1 install (fresh install with no plugins activated) there are other issues as well: menu and title missing, etc. Compatibility view fixes a fair bit of the issues, but the menu is out of alignment and icons/images are clipped.
Sorry, typo, I meant IE 9 beta. :) Further poking seems to indicate the Cufon script is the issue.
Thanks for the heads up on IE9. I will have a look when I get a chance, but obviously not a priority.
Cool: the Cufon script site provided an IE9 fix which resolved all the issues I reported.
Good to hear…
Think this is a pretty awesome theme, though couldn’t get it to do what I wanted for my site quick enough (I’m lazy). Thought I’d just post some comments as I didn’t think they had been posted already:
- would be great if you could choose to display all categories on top blog part. Or, to exclude some (say if you moblog using Flickr, so then you don’t double-up in two categories). Wanted to display all my category posts but could only go with one.
- would be great if for the YouTube section you could choose a playlist, rather than just your uploads. There seem to be a lot of playlist RSS generators but they only show a link instead of the video thumbnail.
- Also, couldn’t get the Last.fm stuff working. There was no box for it in the config menu. Strange.
I will take all of these things into consideration when updating the theme. Thanks for your comments…
1. Yes, it would be GREAT if the “Latest Blog Posts” could show more than one category.
2. Tags don’t show up in my posts. Is there a way to enable it or is it just not available? Also, is there a Tag widget in the works?
1. I will consider that for the next update.
2. Tags are not currently supported, and there are no plans to support tags or tag widgets for this theme.
nice theme, but it does not work for me.all i get is a blank screen when activated and wordpress is unusable. i have to manually delete it from server and all comes back to normal.I have no plugins installed yet.too bad.
thank you for your efforts, though!
Not aware of any issues like this with the Seven Five theme. This could have something to do with your particular server environment, or possible some other issue. If I ever am able to reproduce this error, I will let you know.
Exactly the same! I couldn’t get the theme working =`(
Once got it copied, tried to both activate and preview but nothing appears. Blank screen and no content at all.
An amazing theme, simply one of the best I’ve ever seen. Gonna try to use it under WordPress 3.*
(btw I currently have WordPress 2.8.6 installed)
Greatest thanks to author(s) though!
You need at least WordPress 3.0 to use the Seven Five theme.
I can’t get it to work in WordPress 3.0 or 3.0.1.
I configured everything in the theme options this is always the result: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4645/78567480.jpg
Well, That’s dumb by me. Forgot to add the widgets. :)
Glad you figured it out.
I have the latest wordpress, fresh install and it’s not working. I tried both free themes. Love them! but wish they would work, all I get is white background with text and posts. Lame! :-(
Any ideas?
I am running a server on Godaddy.com
Thanks!
Have you configured your widgets?
What do you mean by configure the widgets? I haven’t set up any widgets, but shouldn’t the site still have everything look normal anyhow? All I get now is just the text from the posts with a white background.
Thanks for the help!
I dont even get a preview in the themes section in wordpress, also***
Thanks
You need to add the home page widgets in order for your content to show as specified within the setup and usage instructions. Click “Appearance” and then “Widgets” to add the Seven Five theme widgets in whatever order you like. I would recommend that if you need further assistance that you purchase a theme support package.
One last comment – a new one, because I think it’s about all your themes: For the footer there should be an Creative Commons option, that would be great. Not everybody is a big fan of Copyright…
Good point… and most of my themes include options to customize the entire footer.
Hello, Jason!
First of all, thank you for this beautiful theme! I am using it since the very beginning, but sadly, there’s one thing I cannot fix – the pagination of the posts on the blog template.
I can see that function sf_pagenavi is there (in blog.php), as well as your custom code in the functions.php. Unfortunately, I am not good at coding and I’m not sure what to do in order to make it works.
I don’t want to ruin your theme with other’s codes so, please, if it’s not something huge, tell me what should I do. I have a nice sitemap plugin so people can see all of my post, but still.. it would be much better with pagination.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Stefan
Stefan
There is nothing you need to do to enable pagination. Just set your Reading settings (how many posts you want to display on each page).
Jason
Thanks for your answer! But I am still little confused. I’ve set everything – post on the main page as well as number of 1st level comments to show on each page. And it’s working, except that the “older/newer” links are missing. I’m using WP 3.0.1 and version 1.6.1 of your theme. Is there a newer version I should update to?
You can see what I mean here: http://ex.nihilo.org/blog. The page “blog” is set with the blog template and is set to “latest 3 posts”. The blog is in bulgarian labguage so you might not be able to read it, but the important is that you’ll see the missing navigation links at the bottom of the page.
I haven’t modified anything in your theme.
Thanks in advance!
This is exactly what you need : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/
Sorry, it does not work! (Good plug-in anyway!)
Here is my question though: How come you pagination displays only on categories and why isn’t it working on homepage? I mean, it makes sense to see previous posts, doesn’t it ?!
The home page is not designed for pagination, rather just sections for featured content as shown on the Seven Five demo.
I really like this theme. I was wondering how to center the theme? I’ve tried tweaking the css but i only manage to center the text (which i want to keep left aligned in a centered container).
Any help would be appreciated!
Sorry, but the content for this theme is designed to be left-aligned and it would take a bit of CSS customization to get it centered. You may want to check out my new Relay theme which is centered by default.
Thanks for replying, Jason.
I’ll play with the CSS and see what I can come up with. I really like Relay too. If I get frustrated enough with playing around with the CSS, purchasing Relay is my next move.
Thanks for the theme. :)
You’re welcome… glad you like it.
I like this theme, too. But in a 2560×1600 screen the content goes near of the first line. Capture of the screen : http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3679/capturens.jpg Do you have any idea to fix that?
I will provide a fix for that within the next update. Although, I’m pretty sure not allot of your users will have a 2500+ resolution ;)
My users will be designers so they may need this :) If you mind the option to align whole page in center it will be good. I will be grateful you for that :)
If you want a similar theme that is “center” aligned, check out my Relay theme.
thanks, is there a news about seven five 1.6.2? :)
Hi,
Thanks for the nice-looking theme! I’ve installed it just after upgrading to WordPress 3.0.4 and it seems the CSS doesn’t kick in at all. I’ve added som of the theme-based widgets, but for instance the buttons in the menu and fonts doesn’t show.
Haven’t tried the theme with any other versions of WordPress (yet), but shouldn’t it work anyway?
Regards,
Daniel

The Seven Five theme has been tested and works perfectly in 3.0.4 as well as 3.1 beta. Odd are if it isn’t working for you, something went wrong during the installation process (probably upon upload).
Jason
Hello again,
I’ve installed the theme three times now and re-installed the latest version of WordPress, and still getting the same problems:
1. The theme doesn’t thumbnail and preview under WordPress -> Themes.
2. When activated it doesn’t even display the posts.
3. The parts of the blog that is viewable is the logo and main menu, with widgets activated.
Note: All other themes are working properly when tested.
Any idea what’s causing these problems?
Regards,
Daniel
I get the same problem with The Side Blog.
Regards,
Daniel
Sounds like the theme is not properly being uploaded. You may want to try uploading the old fashion way via FTP.
I only use FTP. :-S
Then I would give it a shot via the WordPress admin theme uploader.
Jason:
Great theme and very well written css file. I have modded your theme slightly to center the content body. Really look forward to playing around with the theme as the year progresses.
Happy new year to you (from a happy camper using seven-five)
~Anantha
Thank you, and Happy New Year to you as well.
I am not sure what I turned off in the settings panel, but I am unable to toggle to not show the entire post and have the “continue reading” link. Please help.
Just add the “more” tag wherever you would like your post to be cut off.
Hello from Russia! Thank you for your great theme! I love it!
I want ask you one question: how can I insert page number selector to your template. I made link to the posts of some category and WordPress shows me only 10 of them.
Thanks!
Hi Jaosn,
As everyone else says – aswome theme.
I installed it last week and works like a charm. But the header area is distorted when seen in IE7 and the Cufon fonts do not show up either. Do you know of this problem and perhaps you know a solution too ?
Many many thanks !
BR; Faz
I am not aware of any issues in IE7, but I will definitely have a look when I get a second.
Could you help me with page number selector? )
Not sure I understand your question… If you are talking about pagination, the Seven Five theme already has that out of the box.
Everything is OK! I’m using 1.5 version and it doesn’t have “sf_pagenavi” function. I inserted it from 1.6
Good to hear you figured it out…
I can’t seem to get more then 20 pictures to show up on the flickr feed. is this normal?
Yes… Flickr limits the number of pictures to 20 within their RSS feeds.
Hey Jason,
Just wanted to post a quick ‘thank you’ for such an awesome theme.
Going to use it for my personal motorcycle rebuild project!
Thanks!
You’re welcome…
Thanks for the awesome theme. BTW, posts pagination is not working at least on the tag posts display.
The following code in sf_pagenavi seems to be failing and $numposts always gets a value of 1 (which leads to page navigator not being displayed):
if(!is_category()) {
preg_match(‘#FROM\s(.*)\sORDER BY#siU’, $request, $matches); } else { preg_match(‘#FROM\s(.*)\sGROUP BY#siU’, $request, $matches); }
$fromwhere = $matches[1];
$numposts = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ID) FROM $fromwhere”);
I replaced it with the following code when is_tag() was true, and it works now:
$tag = get_query_var(‘tag’);
$taxonomy = ‘post_tag’;
$term = get_term_by(‘name’, $tag, ‘post_tag’);
$numposts = 0;
if ($term) {
$tagposts = get_objects_in_term(array($term->term_id), $taxonomy);
if ($tagposts) {
$numposts = count($tagposts); }
}
Wordpress version is 3.0.4, Seven Five theme version is 1.6.1.
Thanks again for the beautiful theme.
Regards
Faisal
hi jason
love this theme!
have implemented the theme, but can’t seem to embed video into any of my posts
is this a user side error? or a restriction in the theme?
thanks again
cameron
Cameron
You can embed video using the Seven Five theme just like any other theme. Just paste the URL to your video within the post editor, and WordPress will do the rest.
Jason
thanks jason
finally got it sorted … was the ‘new’ embed code on vimeo not working .. reverted to their old code and all went just fine
cheers
hey jason – i just discovered that the ‘share this’ plugin adds sharing options to the homepage summaries, but not in the body of the full post; thoughts?
Very sorry, but I really cannot provide support for 3rd party plugins. I would recommend asking the plugin author.
Awesome theme. I was trying to increase the number of Delicious feeds displayed on screen. It seems to be preset at 15. Can that be modified?
No, you are limited by what Delicious has set for their max number of feed items.
just try
$numposts = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’”);
if (0 < $numposts) $numposts = number_format($numposts);
to get the number of posts right.
works fine for me!
Thanks for the info…
Hi, I got the same problem with pagination on the Roundabout theme, there is no pagination, and i’m unable to make pagenavi plugin to work, how frustrating. Currently on 1.1.6 version.
Tried what you guys said above, but no luck.
The Roundabout theme includes built in pagination functionality which you can see is working by the theme demo.
I was trying to make the pagination work on the Home itself, where the featured widget is set. But I guess that would be far too many pages there, I realized that.
Pagination on arquives are working fine.
There is no pagination on the Home Page by design. You could add it if you needed to via theme customization.
Hello.
Cant seem to get more then two vimeo films to show up on the page, perhaps I am doing something wrong? Great theme. Thank you.

Hi! I was wondering if this theme is still available for download. I can’t find it on the homepage..
Sure… just go to the home page and click “Theme Info”. You will find the download link there.
I think you haven’t seen latest twitter wordpress themes, you can get 5 Twitter WordPress themes of 2011 @ http://www.nichewp.com/5-twitter-wordpress-themes.html
This is really an amazing theme. I’m looking for something quite clean and simple. Only one doubt: the Twitter widget only shows mentions. How to show what I write?
The Twitter widget shows both mentions as well as what you tweet.
Sorry, look again: I only appear when I mention myself. I had other 7 tweets today and they aren’t listed in the widget.
I have thoroughly tested the twitter widget for the Seven Five theme and it is working properly. I am working on an update that will allow you to display only your tweets if that is what you want.
Try removing @ before your Twitter user name. I had the same problem as you until I realized that it was just showing my mentions.
Hey Jason,
Love the theme, which I’ve modified slightly for my own site (leaving all credit to you as requested).
However, my 404 logs are full of calls to seven-five/images/reply.jpg and seven-five/style-ie8.css, which don’t seem to exist. These are coming from the unmodified lines in style.css and header.php. Thought to let you know…
Thank you for letting me know… I will get that updated.
Great theme I love it. One issue I’m seing is with the Twitter feed. It displays not only your feed but any instance of your username. I’m not referring to @replies but hashtags or plain text.
That is the way it works by default. I am working on an option that will allow you to choose how your Twitter timeline displays.
Can’t wait. I have the unfortunate coincidence of sharing my name with a drama from Japan.
Hey Jason,
thanks for this great minimalistic theme!
I´m trying to change the background image, text and heading colors, link colors, … but it´s not working.
I insert all information and press the ‘Save Changes’ Button, but nothing changes.
Is that a bug – or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks & Greetings from Cologne/ Germany!
manuel
Make sure you are inputting proper values and that you have actually enabled custom theme styles.
Where can I enable custom theme styles?
Thanks!
Within the theme options page.
Remove the @ symbol in the Twitter settings.
About Twitter.com Feeds, it just show one post, that isn’t mine, but only with a mention of a friend. How can I do fix this?
Thanks anyway.
Twitter feeds display your timeline as well as any mentions of your username. Please note that if your tweets are older than 4 days, they will not be displayed.
In doesn’t show non-metions, I don’t know why …
I can not do pagination, and transitions to them from below the site, tell me how to do pagination?
Pagination is included automatically with the seven five theme on category post pages.
Is it possible to use an image instead of text for my logo?
There isn’t an option at this time for image based logos. You should feel free to customize the theme however you like to suit your needs.
Any ideas on why this theme is not working correctly on Internet Explorer 9? All the custom fonts are disappearing. Would like to be able to use this theme, as I think this is one of the best minimal templates I found over the internet.
IE9 is not compatible with the custom fonts at this time. I am working on an update for that.
Thank you, Jason.
It would be cool to see a @font-face implementation replacing Cufon. Hope to see an update soon!
Yes, I will most likely implement some sort of @font-face solution in the near future.
Just having a play with this theme this evening, love how minimalistic it is! Just a quick Q for any other users, I have enabled the “Latest Blog Posts”, chosen a category, and selected a number of posts but nothing shows on the home page. I have made several posts to that category. I’m a little confused.
All you need to do is add the “Latest Blog Posts” widget to the home page within the Widgets menu.
Hi,
I’ve been trying desperately to get pagination to work. I’ve created a new page titled ‘Blog’ and then changed the template to ‘Blog’ – this shows my posts (I’ve restricted it to 3) – however there’s no page links to go to older posts.
I realize this is a free theme with no support, but any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
You don’t need to create a page for your blog posts. All you need to do is publish your posts within any category and they will paginate automatically.
I figured that out after I read all the comments. What I’ve done now is Categorized all my posts under a “Blog” category. This may be a stupid question, but how do I display the “Blog” category page as the first page upon entering?
Thanks for your reply Jason, appreciate it.
Jason you made a great theme, thanks before the question. Why the twitter widget is not working. I wrote my web address please help me. What is the problem?
I would recommend double-checking your twitter settings. Make sure you are using a legitimate username. Make sure that you have recent tweets. Also, you may want to double-check that you are not running any conflicting 3rd party plugins on your site.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me neither. I tried with two different accounts with no results, but I remember to have seen it working a month ago. Any ideas?
Its the best theme i’ve used by far. Thanx Jason…still its been a long wait for next version….I need to display posts from all categories but the theme allows only one of them….is there any editing i can do myself to sort it out…..???
Sure… you could modify “widgets/posts.php” with a standard loop which would query posts from all categories.
okkk…thanx for your support…I’ll try
we had to remove the twitter widget, until we can have the options to have the profile tweets show up.
I sure miss the great look on that widget.
Love the theme Jason, but it needs pagination. Read through the comments and saw that in 2010 you said you would add it. I have the latest version and its still not there :(
nvm, got it! Just had to do it manually. Thought it was automatic, lol.
Ok, scratch that. I don’t got it.
Change “false” to “true” but it only shows 1 page…not all. Add numbers between “” and it still doesn’t work.
Seven Five does include pagination for category and archive pages (no modification necessary).
Great work with the updated version of Seven Five. It’s perfect for my portfolio and cleaned out a lot of the kinks in the older version.
Thanks!
One issue- I can’t quite figure out how to get more than 20 Flickr photos to display on the homepage, so if anyone has a related link that’s helpful, I would appreciate it.
Flickr only allows up to 20 photos in one feed. Please note that this is a Flickr limitation, not a theme limitation.
Seven-Five is one of my favorite themes. Would like to know if there is any new updated version available
Thank you!
Hey, Jason. Awesome theme (well, at least in the demo it looks awesome). I can’t get anything to show up on my main page at all. I have all of the feeds setup exactly as they appear, but all I get on the main page of my site is the title, links to a few things on the top, and the footer. If I go to the permalink, the posts look fine. Any idea?
Make sure that within your WordPress “Reading” settings that “Front page displays” is set to “Your latest posts”.
Jason
Jasaon Schuller ,
Hello Jasaon , I found a problem with ‘Theme options’ page in a multisite installation. The ‘theme options’ page is not available for ‘Admins(Just accessible for Super admins). I have tried to change the page permissions for ‘Administrators ‘ , But no use.
The theme has
$page = add_theme_page( "Theme settings", "Theme Options", 8, 'sf_sevenfive_admin_menu', 'sf_sevenfive_admin');. Actually, ’8′ should work for ‘Administrator . but I am not sure, why it is still inaccessible . Can you please help me how to let the option used by ‘Admins ‘ with ‘switch_themes’ or in any other way?Thank you !
Seven Five is an older theme which has not yet been upgraded to the latest options framework which is compatible with network installations of WordPress. You would need to update the options framework in order for it to function properly with network installations.
Thanks for the great theme. I’ve made two changes to it for my site. One adds an option to show posts from all categories on the homepage (so it’s more of a recent list than featured content) and the other includes the categories/tags that posts belong in.
I’ve written a post on my site about adding the ‘All’ option, which you can see here: http://www.meetjonb.com/2011/11/showing-all-posts-in-the-seven-five-wordpress-theme/. I’ll hopefully get some time to post about the other change soon. :)
I’ve made another change to the theme as I make it more suitable for my needs. I wanted to tell you in case you want to incorporate the changes into the next release. Also, I think I’m required by the GPL to make my changes available, so hopefully this also serves that purpose.
I’ve added a stats widget to display the total number of posts, comments, categories, tags, and pages. It’s very basic, but provides some nice information on the home page. I posted about it here: http://www.meetjonb.com/2011/11/stats-widget-for-the-sevenfive-wordpress-theme/.
Enjoy!
The possibilities for mobilizing the experience imaginations and intelligence of workers both employed and unemployed are limitless.
It says I can change the background image but there is no option available for that in the theme options menu…I need that for a client so how would I go about changing the background?
Thanks.
Ok I finally found how to work the background image as the upload button was hidden for some reason…tried in firefox, Chrome, and safari and it was still hidden so I don’t know whats up with that but its like an invisible button.
After finally getting the background image to display in the preview, I refreshed the website and the background image was not there. I tried various backgrounds and nothing works and all plugins are turned off. What gives?
Not asking for support but just letting you know theres a problem/bug with the background image uploader (code?) so hopefully you can fix this and update the theme.
Jason, feel free to wave me off if this is a support question, but be graceful – I am a newbie. Is there a reason why the live demo version sample posts have a horizontal line separator and the on the downloaded version I do not? Just wondering if I am missing something obvious.
Cheers!
I’m not sure I understand your question… can you please be a litte more specific?
