This is a new WordPress Theme titled “Orange 2″, as you can tell, I am running out of names, but not ideas.

The theme is very simple and built with clean CSS that validates, the design is highly customizable and has multple WP pages built in for archive retreval and search results.

This design was ported from original design by David Herreman. Feel free to give it a try: Test Run | Download

Enjoy!

    That is a beautiful theme. I’m looking around for possible themes to modify for my site. I’m using WAVE1 by DevLounge right now, but hey — you know how it is. :D

    Hi, this is a wonderfull theme. I have some questions for you:

    First, i don’t want to use the flicr script in the sidebar, i tried to remove or comment the code but when i do this, the body of the main post moves completelly to the left. I also deleted the #flickr style in the CSS but keeps doing the same.

    Seccond, i dl this theme from http://themes.wordpress.net/ i dl this theme because it presents three columns but when i use it only presents two columns. I don’t know how to switch it from two to three columns or if is it possible to do. I am not a coder or a programmer and i don’t know too much PHP to modify for myself.

    I’ll appreciate too much your help, thanks.

    @ Fito

    It is a two column theme and that is al it will show. The bottom ancellary bar is 3 column, that is it.

    As for the Flickr, you will have to delete all of the lines starting with

    < h2 > Flickr: < / h2
    to 

    < / div >
    < / ul >
    < / div >

    The bottom 3-column bar contains nive comments (middle) section. But the code uses ‘get_recent_comments();’ function. In my WordPress installation it looks that function is not present. Could you give me a hint how to run it? I’m not very expierienced WP and PHP user.

    nive = nice ;-)

    @ Szymon

    “Get Recent Comments” is a plugin, it is in the plugin folder and must to added to the plugin folder of WP and activated.

    Yeah. I use this Theme too. It’s very great. First, I had the same problem as Fito, but then I found the problem. ;)

    Also I use the footer with other plugins.

    But the design of the theme is excellent!

    Thanks you very much :-)

    I really like this theme and am planning on using it for a new site. But pages seem to load kind of slowly. Has anyone else noticed that? Any change I can make to speed it up? Is it because the header, sidebar, and sidelog load first?

    Also, I tried putting a “latest story” in the sideblog but it seemed to mess links up. How would I put the latest story posted up there?

    Thanks. Again, great design.

    @ Paul

    I do not believe the slow page load is due to a theme, try changing the theme and reload your page, let me know if it works faster. One thing that might cause the theme to load slow is the Flickr images, remove Flickr if you really want it to load fast.

    For the sideblog to work, you should first upload the sideblog plugin in the correct folder and activate it from WP admin.

    That was it. Flickr was slowing it down. Thanks.

    Hey there,

    for some reason this theme doesn’t look right on my machine when viewing with IE.

    In firefox it looks great, but in IE the portion in the left center (where the blog posts go) appears too far down.

    to see it, please go to my site, http://www.techcraver.com in Firefox and then IE.

    thanks for any suggestions.
    Jason

    @ Jason

    Did you configure Flickr with some CSS? Try without styling Flickr!

    That was it ! Thanks hso!

    Hi

    I like this theme and thank you for your great work, but there is permalink issue with this theme.

    lets say i got /category/articlename permalinks

    For example

    http://www.somesite.tld/news/orange-theme

    works good article shown

    but with some typo

    http://www.somesite.tld/news/orangetheme

    i got title page instead of Not Found error message

    Do you have any idea what is wrong ?

    P.S. sorry for my english

  1. 19. hso | March 19, 2008 #

    @ pedro
    It does not have a 404 page, it redirects to the home page. You can add a 404 page if you like.

  1. 20. pedro | March 19, 2008 #

    Adding 404.php file in orange2 theme directory solved the puzzle. Everything works fine now. Thanks a lot and keep up good work.

  1. 21. pedro | March 20, 2008 #

    I have troubles with page-navi plugin. Always shows first page.
    But i resolve the issue and works fine now.
    All you have to do is remove query_posts(’showposts=X’); from index template.
