Congratulations for the release!

In addition to being an absolutely gorgeous theme, complete with backend functionality, the timing can’t be any better. Excellent idea! This will create a huge buzz I’m sure

I LOVE this theme… however, I tried your FAQ instruction but cannot get rid of the 404 page when I click on ‘full archives’… can you assist?

Thanks- John

Never mind… I fixed it! Awesome!

Awesome Wordpress Theme mate! I have just made a post on my blog about it. Really love how it looks. Keep it up.

thanks

What a shame to see such a nice theme be used for a political message.

This is a great theme and I wish I could use it right out of the box so to speak. I’m not sure if I am not doing something right bue when I try out this theme it’s as though it’s not reading the stylesheet or somthing. I have no colors, no images and no formatting what’s so ever. I do see the youtube video but I am really not sure what I have not done right. I did as I would do with any other theme and unzip it in wp-content. Are there special instructions with this one?

Thanks

Chris

Nevermind… I should have taken a look at the permissions prior to posting. Once again great theme !

Thanks

Chris

Love the theme! Have implemented it at http://www.terrehauteforobama . I’m wondering how I can use widgets while still maintaining the cool flicker youtube features you have as well.

It’s not exactly set up the way you describe, but we’ll include that in future versions.

Darren – I was able to figure out how to add widget ready areas. Thanks again for the theme!

Obama ‘08!

Any way we can change the top navigation to be pages link and NOT categories??

Just Perfect

oww! Nice theme.
im owned wp blog thame is this chanced

love it!

fantastic theme! excellent out of the box. I hope you guys can continue to produce professional themes! I wanted to ask if a Photoshop PSD header file was available? Please email me. Thanks! Matt

I am also interested in the psd for the header, this is a great template that I’d like to use for a non political veterans news site. Please email me as I’d truly love to use this template for our news site.
Thanks Very Much,
Michael

Any chance we could get the header .psd file? Thanks!

It’d be very nice of you to release a PSD header file. I personally prefer Obama, too, but I don’t think this gorgeous theme will fit a technical site… Pleeeease give us the PSD =)

Thanks for your interest, guys — we’re gonna release the .psd file later today.

Not much seems to be working for me — not the YouTube, not the Flickr, not the RSS reader. Not much at all. Am I missing some plugins or something?

I fixed it! My old widgets were messing things up.

Is the Probama theme compatible with WP 2.5?

Wordpress 2.5 has just been released and I found out that dropdown menus does not seem to work with this theme. Are you guys going to fix this or any ideas how to get it right under wordpress 2.5?

We’re doing WP 2.5 testing today and will post again after it checks out…

The theme should work fine now with WP 2.5 – please let us know if there are problems.

Thanks good information.

how do i show entire feed and not just a portion of it in the obama template.

thanks

I have changed the top nav bar to use the Pages instead of the categories…is there a way to utilize the dropdown feature that was in place for the categories for the pages?

I did it again….I tried to poke around and make it work…then I asked a question to try to solve the problem…then I looked one more time and wahlah! I got it to work… I just needed to change the depth number.

Thanks again for the great theme! It’s been very well received here!

Obama ‘08!

how can we get it to show the images and full post on the front page?

Just wanted to say thanks for releasing the header psd file. It’s been over two weeks since I left a request for it, figuring it would get blown off like it would at most sites. I am pleased and impressed that you guys actually listened and supported this. Way to go! and thanks againfor a great theme!

Michael

Hey guys-
just wondering if you can tell me how to get the image on the front page. I know ned asked about it, but there was never an answer. Any info would help thanks guys.

where is the css to change the background color of the sidebar. I have looked and changed everything. Also, I can’t find where you have placed the css for the flickr and youtube logo. This is driving me nuts that I can’t find it. Please help.

In the left column of the homepage there are references to ‘the_excerpt’. If you change those to ‘the_content’, it will display the whole post.

I think the sidebar info you need is:

#media {
background:#103064;
padding:16px 19px 20px 19px;
}

thanks darren-

for the help. I got the image to post on the homepage, but I still don’t know where to place the css you gave me. Maybe I am an idiot or something but I have tried placing it under #sidebar and everywhere around it and still no luck. Sorry to keep bothering you, I know this is not your job.

darren-

I figured it out. Not all of the css is shown in wordpress. For all who don’t know and are idiots (I guess) In the probama theme folder there is a css folder in there. You can find the rest of the css in there. Again thanks darren. Be on the lookout for the theme on Thepixlpusher.com

Is there a way to have ‘pages’ show up on the top nav bar? I saw a similar question above, but not sure there was a response. I am new to wordpress and haven’t been able to get anything to show up on that nav bar (categories, etc.). Do I need to change one of the php files directly? Thank you – this is a great theme!

You could always open header.php and change the wp_list_categories function to wp_list_pages.

Darren-

I am currently running the theme on a local server with wordpress 2.5 to make revisions to the css but when i try to take it over to my site with wordpress 2.3.3 everything gets messed up. I have even tried sending over the original theme and it doesn’t seem to work either.

Darren-
I was wondering if you could look at my site and see if you can figure out what might be going on. thepixlpusher.com I am using the probama theme as it was downloaded no changes made to the files. It is almost like something is blocking the css but I don’t know what. My only thought is that it is an older wp file that is messing with the css. Your thoughts would be a be help thanks. by the way I am using wp 2.5 now.

Darren-
Ok so I downloaded some other themes to see if I would have a different outcome so I started with your baseball theme and it did the same thing (just html). So I downloaded some from the wordpress site and they work perfectly fine so I think it is something in your files but I can’t figure it out. Please help I really do want to use your theme It is AWESOME.

ok I think I have the same problem as Chris but I don’t understand what he did to fix it. If someone could help I would appreciate it. Thanks.

John -

Try reinstalling the theme – ie. download a fresh copy from the link above, completely delete the files on your server, and reinstall.

That *should* do the trick. If not, let me know and I’ll try to troubleshoot your problems over email.

How can i get the sidebar in a single article? It`s just on the mainpage…
thanks
andre

Thnx for the theme! I created my own skin for it, works like a charm.

A really cool sophisticated world class design of theme! Nice work man!

Is there anyway you can make an anti-Barack Obama template! LOL! But it is nice despite the person it favors. Good job!

To those having problems loading images… It’s a simple fix that stumped me for almost an hour…

Make sure your file & folder permissions are correct. Use another theme as an example.

I had changed permissions on all the files but NOT the probama folder itself… It was 0600 for me so when I changed it *POOF it worked…

later

thank you

Hi guys,

First, thanks for the theme, it looks great.
I hate to be a bother, but I’ve been trying to figure this out, but to no avail.
I can’t get the rss feeds to work. In the sidebar, I’ve put the rss feed url for NYT in the “Latest from BarackObama.com” section (I’ve replaced it with “Breaking News”) and I put the feed url for my blog under the Latest Audio (That I replaced with My Memoir) – but no feeds a’comin.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks so much,
Yen from Singapore

Hi, We have used your wonderful theme for our democratic org and the categories are not working. We are using WP 2.5.1 on bluehost.com. Do you have any suggestions?
I want to thank you for the great work you have done in promoting our next president. Thank you for your help.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to have “next and previous” pages with images instead of a few sum-up lines on the bottom of the page??

Could you give a clue how to do that? Pretty please?

when adding a simple calendar widget, all the default widgets disappeared. Is it possible to have the default widgets remain?

Great theme. I’ve customized it for my blog and I’m loving it! One question…will you be creating the image.php file to allow the gallery short code in WP 2.5 to be fully functional?

Nice theme.I liked that very much.Will use it in my site and then post the url here after few hours.thanks.

Hey, I can’t get CForms II to work at all. I thought it might be a CSS thing but I don’t see anything there. I even tried a different forms plugin and it didn’t work either. I know CForms is the biggest forms creator plugin so I’d like to try to get it to work. I’d even be willing to pay for some help. Thanks a bunch.

interesting!

Hasse free installation. Awesome job dude !

Great Job Here…I enjoyed it..! Gary

Awesome! Thanks Dude

Installation without problems. That was very good!

Awesome looking theme. I’m going to make some slight alterations and use it on my anti-Obama site.

Nice idea and theme

Tried to install your theme and got a mish mosh – would love your theme so what am I doing wrong as I would like to get this going THIS MORINING PLEASE – I THANK YOU

Quick question. What are the plug-ins required for the template to work? Also will this template go through a HTML validator with no errors?

Thanks and great looking theme!

Great, great site.

Just a quick question – I sthere a way to have the comments alternate in color? I see the code in the comments.pho but it don’t appear to work.

Any pointers?

Thanks

I think everyone needs to look beyond the novelty of Obama.

Personally, I think that Obama is arrogant…and this will be his downfall amongst educated, well-rounded, mature and informed American voters.

I also believe that websites like the one listed below could ultimately determine why more and more Democrats will defect to John McCain’s camp.

Unfortunately, there is little about Obama that a website like the one below says that can be refuted…that is, unless you’ve flunked Philosphy 101 in college,or never got to college in the first place.

Check it out:

http://www.chilkootmarketing.com/index.htm

What can be done?

Sooner or later all of us will have to reckon with our conscience and higher intellectual powers and when this occures we will invariably be forced to choose between either ‘principle’ or the physical attributes of the other candidate.

Which candidate is traveling down the wrong road on critical issues?

Which do you think will win out, come November? ‘

‘Higher principles’ or the ‘physical’ attributes of a particular candidate?

Predictably, older voters will vote in favor of ‘principle’… obviously, because they are more concerned about what happens after death and the legacy they will leave behind.

In contrast, the younger voters, since they have more time left in life to recant, are more likely to be reckless and procrastinate with any decision in favor of principle, and will likely vote in favor of ‘idealism’…

…and these are the young and youthful voters that Obama appeals to and also why a lot of us older folks see Obama as ‘the Pied Piper of the niave’.

However, (which is the next question that begs itself): ‘When does Barack’s own conscience begin to bother him?’

Personally, I think Obama needs to start thinking about what he can do to ‘remake’ his image if he wants to win this election.

I’m not sure that he’ll want to be that person he’s beginning to look like against John McCain…who today represents everything that America stands for.

BUT, if Obama thinks he can win going the way he’s headed, then let him go for it.

But, as for me and many like me who sit on the fence until election time in November, we’ll still be thinking about having to live with ourselves long after this election is over in November and maybe these are the thoughts that the new young voters haven’t entertained yet…

…and, there’s still a lot that can happen between now and November…

…and, this probably means that Obama faces a huge political swamp ahead…one that he has created for himself by being too impetuous on some very important issues…

…which has already gotten him into trouble with some of the very wise old parents of the younger generation.

- Jim Carder

i have it set up over here check it out
im currently changing the PSD but it doesnt work at all..

http://www.xglive.net

<-@Jim Carder

I think you’re right that perhaps the younger generation does support Barack Obama but it has more to do with providing America with economic stability and a future as a world power through innovation and forward thinking political principles. I strongly believe it is the role of government to uphold the right of citizens to freely practice religion and nothing more. Just as I expect our government to keep their hands off our firearms for personal protection I believe they should keep their noses out of my religion. We’re electing a president and not a pope.

Thank you very much. Very grateful for your template.

thanks

Great theme!
Thank you

Chris

Hi, i’m having problems with the theme, i do the ujpload but the theme does not appear on themes tab. Someome to help me? Thanks

Nice theme!

hey, I love the theme.

I’m not sure why, but my installation won’t display the styles. Saw that ‘chris’ had the same problem. something about checking permissions? please help!

Thanks!

There shouldn’t be any permissions issues by default. Make sure everything on the server-end is set up correctly.

Everything is fine, because i already uploaded other themes and work fine.

Hi,
the “Obama” Theme looks amazing! Thx

Thanks for sharing!

HELP! I LOVE the probama theme…but i have installed it but the audio & video & picture feeds do not show up on the right hand side as in the demo…what am i doing wrong? thanks!
drew

Awesome! ..no more words

I already resolve the problem, the folder theme was with CHMOD 700. Thanks anyway

woow Great theme! Thank you

Great and Everything is fine, because i already uploaded other themes and work fine.

Great theme. Keep up the great work guys.

this is an amazing theme. I have actually seen someone make over $1000 in a month with adsense by just giving information about obama but this script is way better.

Very cool…go Obama!

Awesome! Thanks Dude

Visual browsing is the future. It’s where everything is going.

WOW that is a very nice theme. Some of my blogging buddies have been telling me they are making quite a good amount of income making blogs about Obama.

Wow!!! nice theme for wordpress.I would use this theme for my wordpress blog.

Waughhh !!! Great and Nice theme…

I’m hispanic, and I strongly believe Obama will have a huge support from most of the minorities citizens and with no doubts he will be the first minority to get in the White House as a president of United State. I predict California, Texas, Florida and New York would be the keys for his victory to Mr. Obama in November 2008.

Here’s a nifty trick to have the “latest audio” rss feed playable from the sidebar.
In your sidebar.php file find the last “”
Below that line paste this:

Update the file and refresh your site.
You’ll see small play buttons next to each rss audio title.
Cool huh?

OK, no code allowed in the comments…
Find the last php endif at the bottom of the php sidebar file.
Below that line paste the code you find over at this URL..

what license is this theme released under?

Congratulations, It’s gorgeous theme!

Good idea Pablo, I’ve used that script before. We’ll try to incorporate that for next time.

I had problems with this theme but I fix it all.This theme is a good one,not specialy superb but it’s cool.

Wow! thats a cool template. Very fresh and beautiful. I will definitely try that theme and have a copy of it.

Thanks for the great theme! We’re trying to figure out why the navigation “sticks” a little bit in some browsers, the hover state will stay up even after you’ve moved over to another list item. I think it happens more in IE than FF. Any ideas/help with this?

Thanks!!

super blog thanks bro

nice theme,thanks

i will download, thanks

Cool theme. I just commented to say that this is the first time I heard of “probama” i think that should catch on, it’s awesome!

Sweet great Soccer write up!

Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..

Dreat! Fantastic rheme.

Love the theme and it is amazingly high quality… I love it.

i am having some rendering issues with the navigation bar in IE6 (not sure if it is present in 7 or not)… any idea for a work around?

I am working to build a tribute to Barack’s father. I would like to use this theme, but upon installing it like a regular WP theme it will not show up. Is there something special you have to do to the files to get it to work?

Please let me know if you can! Thanks

thanks you very nice site

thanks you very great

I will be setting up a travel related blog and this is the perfect way to present the videos

The the is great, but i installed it and i´d like to insert the sidebar in the single posts pages…how can i do that?

teşekkürler/ thank you

good thanks a lot

Real nice theme, but Obama is a shill for Zbigniew Brzezinski and Co. You will know what a cock he will become once he’s been in office for a while.

Great theme, I modified it for my Sarah Palin site, it has worked out great!

wow, full featured. thank you!

Wow this is a nice theme, is it new?

Thansk you mucuk

Hey Category 4! AlaskaHockeyMomsForObama.com is powered by Probama and it RULES!! Great work on the theme! Just wanted to invite you guys to have a look…

I know, IE sucks, but we’re having a few glitches with the page navigation and drop-down menus rendering properly for people using IE. I’ve only tested it with IE6, not sure about IE7, but we’re getting email from IE users who are having trouble. Any suggestions on what I can tweak to force IE to render it properly?

Go Barack!
Yes We Can!!!

Thanks perfect theme.

Hi Darren!

Thank you for this incredible Obama WP theme! I love it & I was so stoked to find last night & implement it on our Barack ‘n Roll Fundraiser’s website:

All the best,

great theme thanks..

I installed Probama, but all I get are white backgrounds, WordPress says stylesheets are missing, checked the permissions etc. but can’t seem to figure it out…Can anyone help, or is there instructions with it that I haven’t found yet?

really amazing theme thanks for the psd and template

I have to say I love this theme. Nice and crisp! Pretty straight forward. Awesome job! Keep up the good work!

Hi, is there a way to make it so that images show up on the excerpts on the main page? ..at least for the first post.

An Obama theme for wordpress? Wouldn’t have thought about someone coming up with this. Tis the season for interesting wordpress themea and this one is just that! Good work.

Not much seems to be working for me — not the YouTube, not the Flickr, not the RSS reader. Not much at all. Am I missing some plugins or something?

Very nice theme. Thanks. In Ukraine politics do not use blogs for advertisment. My be they don`t want to do such advertismant.

Anyone know how to get the navigation to read wp’s pages and not catagories?? ANY help would be appreciated!

Thank you

Thank you

thanks

just found it!! great theme, will use it someday

Probama, nice blog.

It’s blue – it’s beautiful !

Hi, since I’m going to use this theme well after the elections, I was wondering how do I go about changing the mast head (changing the pic) and logo to make it look more universal rather than Obama-related.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Dear Darren,
I would be interested in using a modified version of your theme on a Serbian libertarian blog/forum. Would you be OK with that? I would link back to this page (or whichever page you suggest) on the front page. I realize this is a pro-Obama theme, so I sincerely hope you wouldn’t mind it being used for slightly diferrent purposes. I can send you a mockup of the modified design, if you’d like to make sure the theme isn’t used in an inappropriate manner.
Sincerely,
Miloš.

the real presidential theme. nice
