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!

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.
