Structure in other languages:
Contact me if you’d be interested in helping out with translations into any language, correcting mistakes, or helping out.
I’ll add the old version 1.1.5 translations to the release archive in the next couple of days. Version 1.2 should be ready for localization. Let me know if you want to help out.
Features:
- A custom home page to look like a news or magazine site.
- There’s an optional normal blog layout for the home page.

- Placeholders for ads. Good sizes for 125×125px ads.
Many different layout styles:
I need to update this to reflect version 1.2.
Need To Know:
- Know how to use optional excerpts to make a cleaner blog when using this theme.
- Learn how to upload images.
- You definitely need to know how to use custom fields (not necessary since 1.2).
- Get the latest version of WordPress to make use of tags.
- You need to understand how WordPress works, at least to some extent. This is not a theme for new WordPress bloggers, unless you are going to learn a little about the system on your own.

- jQuery for the great library, which is used for the tabbed sidebar links and videos.
Licenses:
- If you use this theme, you must leave a link back to me on your site. The full license is included with the download in a file named “license.txt.”

This is so much better than the last theme. Visionary was a good starting spot, and I liked the theme, but something about it wasn’t cohesive to me. I played around with it, but in the end I gave up on it. This one just feels so much more complete and more professional. There’s speration and division where the other theme felt like everything was running together. It’s an amazing piece of work, and before long I fear that we will be paying for your work instead of having it given to us. Thank you for this.
Astonishing!
You have taken WordPress theme design to a new level of design, layout, function and excellence.
@Nick – I wouldn’t say it’s so much better than the other, they both are fantastic and easy to use.
This one actually doesn’t look right to me with Firefox, some of the tabs aren’t all on one line.
Thanks guys. Nick, I’m with you on this versus Visionary. I think this one feels more “cohesive.” I hope to keep free themes running on here for as long as WordPress is around. Of course, I might do a little freelance work here and there.
Skarld, I hope you voted for me.
Mike, I was afraid of that with the tabs. I assume it was the top right sidebar tabs that were messing up. I have no way of testing in other screen resolutions either. Can you tell me what screen resolution you have? Also, do you have your text resized? I’ve commented out the fourth tab in the top right sidebar in the demo just in case.
Justin,
I never noticed before that the visionary used a grey background in the domtabs and around the Flickr area as background. I have two monitors running on my computer. One of them is actually a 22inch HDTV and the other is just your standard monitor. The HD is a lot brighter and the light shade of grey shows up white so there is no division, when I dragged it over to the monitor I saw that it is grey. A lot of people are probably using brighter screens, and it may not show up everywhere. In the Structure theme the colors show up on both. I used to think everything just ran togheter without dividers in the Visionary theme.
Still, the division that is set up in the new theme is so much better and it makes it more appealing. When it isn’t present, something about a theme feels incomplete to me. If that makes sense. I used to run Adii’s premium news theme, and it drove me nuts that everything just kind of ran toghet without it being broken up. I loved the theme, it was flexible, packed with features, but it drove me because there were no breaks. I don’t know if this makes any sense, but I thought you should be aware of the way the colors appear. This is probably one of the best theme’s I’ve seen come out this year.
I’m going to download it now and store it away just incase you decide to put that 100 price tag on it… (You so could, and it would sell)
Absolutely awesome, Justin. Definitely made much more of a visual impact upon me than Visionary.
Incredible. You have really outdone yourself this time. You are really up there with the top WP designers and without the cockey attitude and high prices.
You could probably even throw a $20 price tag on this and make a killing, although it is worth MUCH more.
Thanks.
Digg it if U like it!
Digg it if U like it!
@Justin – I’m running Firefox on Ubuntu, but I don’t think that matters. My resolution is 1280×800…the page fits nicely inside my browser, so it’s not the width that I can see.
The tabs on the upper right look fine now that you commented one out, I just see three. But the second area of tabs below the main story go to a second line now. The World tab is the one on the second line now.
Structure: WordPress Theme
Another new theme from Justin Tadlock, who is putting out some really great stuff.
I am using his Visionary theme after some major tweaking and it’s been awesome and well-received. He uses custom fields to make some of it work but it really adds some…
continuing with the the crazy series of comments urging you to charge for this theme, is there at least a paypal account in your name that I can donate to? Or maybe a charity you’d like donated to in the spirit of the season? Seriously, I already download too many things for free in an ethically questionable manner, I’d rather not feel like I’m ripping off a hard working teacher/wordpress rockstar too. Anyway, Thanks for the great theme. I was already excited about using visionary, Structure is just ridiculously good for being free.
Wow Justin this theme is excellent! As much as I love your Visionary theme, I may just have to switch over to this new one…
You really have taken themes to a new level with your latest themes. I’ve seen many premium themes which don’t look nearly so good, and yet you give these away for free! You’re truly a credit to the blogging community. Thank you and bravo!
Nick, I totally understand what you’re saying. I think I either used the color
#f7f7f7or#eee. Both of these are pretty light, so different monitors show different shades.That’s one thing I don’t like about being here in Korea — I don’t have the testing environment that I’m used to. I just have my one little laptop. Thanks for pointing this out though. I might just change those background colors for Visionary in the next update. Thanks for your comments. I’m not sure that I’ll sell it though. I’d rather do freelance custom designs.
Armen, thanks. I think getting away from the red colors of Visionary and my last theme for this site really changed a lot for me, not only in terms of style, but in overall layout too.
Mark, thanks for Digging it. You can always vote for it at WP Themez too. It’s a Digg-like site for WordPress themes.
As I told Nick, I’m not sure about putting price tags on anything yet. Maybe some future “premium” themes because I’m not labeling this as premium just yet.
Mike, that seems so weird. I thought for sure that it’d only be the top right sidebar tabs. On my screen and in every browser, I have room for an extra tab in the category spot. I’m also running a 1280×800 screen resolution.
The Internet was out at work today too, so I couldn’t see what it looked like on those computers. Maybe it’ll be back up tomorrow.
Josh, you can definitely make a donation. Maybe I should put a button up. Thanks for your comments.
Amanda, you should take a look at my old themes. They’re not so good. I don’t think I’m at the level I should be at yet, but I’m working to get there. There are some really good premium themes out there though. To me, part of providing a premium theme means giving a lot more user support than usual. Right now, I’m only willing to do so much support because I have a lot of other things to get done. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I don’t actually want you to switch over. I love what you’ve done with Visionary, and you must’ve put a lot of work into it. Of course, you may do what you like.
Looks like another great theme Justin.
The blue is a nice touch. I’ve got a modified version of Visionary that uses blue on my test server. I haven’t decided if I’m going to deploy it or not.
The dividing lines in Structure help it somewhat. That’s one of the feedback things I’ve gotten on Visionary and another thing I’ve played around with on my test box.
I did discover what was causing the tab pop thing and that was the MyBlogLog widget holding up things during the page load. It’s an important social widget but I’m considering getting rid of it due to page load issues.
Absolutely stunning theme! To date, the best news/mag WP theme I have seen is Brian Gardner’s News Revolution but your creation is just as good. (and he charges a hundred bucks)
Absolutely stunning!
I can’t wait to get into the code and swim around a bit.
I am having a problem with the video, though. I took out the \\ in the sidebar file, but for some reason the video is “trying” to show in two places on the homepage. And when it tries to show, it shows in the wrong places and is just a green box.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks for the theme! I’ll be sure to donate when I get a little extra cash this Friday.
Frank, thanks. I’ll have to run some tests before the next update with the MyBlogLog widget. It’s so hard to test for everything, so thanks for the feedback on that. Theme authors really do depend on their users to help build better themes.
Len, I don’t know if we need to go saying I’m as good as Brian.
Honestly though, he’s a great designer, and even being compared to him is an honor.
Eric, it seems that you’ve put the wrong URL as the Video custom field. This is an easy mistake to make though. You put:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cT-ur8sDlA
It should be:
http://www.youtube.com/v/2cT-ur8sDlA
I can’t stress enough how strictly you need to follow the video section in the “readme.txt” file. Take note of the embed code on the YouTube video’s page. Don’t grab the URL in your address bar.
Also, you’ll have to comment out the video part in “home.php” if you want to use it in your sidebar. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
In other news: I’m actually sitting down working on a theme options page for the WordPress Dashboard right now. I hope to have it released in an update sometime this week.

Nice job Justin. I rarely comment on theme releases so you already know wassup
I’m doing a test for a possible online magazine with your theme but I can’t get anything to show up in the right sidebar. I want to get rid of the “recent additions” and put up the tabs, ads, and custom blocks. i’ve read everything and i must have broken something.
The link is in the ‘website’ part of this comment.
thanks and you’re friggin awesome,
:: efrain
One more question and I’m good to go.
On the custom boxes, what would be the best way to get the content two split in to two smaller columns.
Example:
I might want a box that has a blogroll on the right half and a list of archives on the left. I know the php needed to call those two lists, but how would I get them to split in the box?
And thanks for helping on the YouTube issue. oddly enough, I DID post the URL that was supplied in the “share this” part of the page, not the browser. But it still needed to be edited down, obviously.
Anyway… I got it working.
Thanks again!
I know, I bought Gardner’s magazine revolution theme, and this shows up a day later. I’m pissed!
Very nice job on this one! I changed themes on my blog earlier this summer, but this one has given me reason to think about changing again. Very clean and well organized. Keep up the good work!

Great! Just great! I will try to use it on my blog, in place of the Visionary theme! Thanks.
Thanks for this theme Justin! I have try your previous visionary theme but found some errors or is it just me that is sooo stupid so I can’t handle it
Will give this one a try as I think my current blog layout is look messed
Cheers!
Another good professionally designed theme that is practical enough to use on ones blog. Thanks.
Justin, this them just rocks!!
Justin, I just finished personalizing Visionary on my domain. And you bring out an even better theme. Well, I will just have to use it on another site.

It’s always an honor when you grace us with your presence here at my blog.

Are you using Widgets? You can’t use widgets and use the custom sidebar things at the same time. Remove any widgets you might be using and see how that works.
I’m trying to make the custom sidebar blocks widgetized, but am having some problems with the video and tabs. Look for updates on this within a week.
Eric
That’s a really good question. I need to hash out that part in the “readme.txt” file for future updates. Open “home.php” and find these lines:
You can add new things within the blocks by putting them in between the divs. Example
I hope this helps, and thanks for pointing it out. I’ll definitely update the documentation in the future. Also, I’m trying to make each block widget-ready too, and am hard at work trying to figure out a few bugs with that. You might want to look out for updates.
Nick
Brian’s theme is great. The rest of us are just trying to keep up. I don’t think you have a great loss or anything.
Kayecee
I wish I would’ve saw your second comment before I was halfway through writing a mini-tutorial on that. I’m glad you figured it out. This is something that needs to be better documented too. Sometimes, what seems like simple things to theme developers, can actually be confusing to others. It’s easy to forget that.
EarnBlogger
Everything is looking great over at your blog. I actually like this theme better on your site than the last one.
Shearyadi
This theme can be hard to customize too. I am hard at work on creating theme options at the moment though. I actually designed this theme around the idea of easy customization, but I still have a few bugs to tweak with it. Be on the lookout for updates soon.
Jomark
Thanks for the comments. I really like the “Excerpts” style for personal blogs. I’m thinking of using something similar on this blog’s next design.
Steve
Thanks. I hope to continue creating themes that make people use phrases like, “This theme just rocks!!”

Please do. I like what you’ve done with Visionary too. It looks like a completely different theme now. I hope more people take your route and lay some custom designs over both these themes.

Kudos … lovely.
A long time ago (shortly after the earth’s crust had cooled) TimBL and I exchanged a few email. One thing we talked about was how so many early web pages were hugely long. We agreed that, ideally, pages would be 1 screen high … or maybe 2. (Neither of us anticipated AJAX, of course.) It looks to me that you’ve done something like that, and with real style. Congrats!
wow wow and wow! I like the categories tab feature.
Now I don’t know what theme to use, there’re so many GREAT WordPress themes.
Awesome theme! After tweaking Visionary’s CSS for 3 hours today, I’m going to give it up! Structure is just an amazing successor to Visionary and just sums up all my requirements!
If I actually did earn from my website, I wouldn’t think twice before paying you for this! Probably someday, I will pay you.
Getting an error message:
Any idea where I should be looking to resolve this?
Hey, nice upgrade, now I can rip out a bunch of my custom code
you have me confused though with one modification, in particular to recent.php
you changed the function calls for getting the post custom data, thats fine… however, when you compare later on for empty string, you are still using the not identical comparison operator which will fail the comparison for diff types… doesnt that happen all the time now? shouldnt you just be doing a != comparison now? I dont see how to get to the_excerpt() call…
Thanks…
i think the template is beautiful. We’re trying to test it for a couple of domains. I looked at demo.justintadlock.com on a few machines. On MSIE 6 on three different machines the Latest/Popular/Sections etc. tabs are not clickable. same machines work beautifully in firefox.
I also checked out http://civicsgeek.org/2007/12/11/give-it-structure/
(saw it in your pingbacks). It also works great in firefox 2.00.11 but tabs are static in msie 6.0.

Thanks. Payment is totally optional. Actually, it’s not expected at all because this is a free theme. Feel free to use it, and I hope you enjoy it.

I’m glad you found it. I was beginning to wonder. It seemed like it’d be a hard problem to fix.

That’s weird. It’s working on my IE6. I’ll check at work today if I have time. My school is still using it, so I should be able to see what’s going on. Do you have Javascript enabled in your IE6?

Thank you. Maybe you can start a new blog!
Hi Justin,
This is a great theme and you’re giving it out for free!
I have a rather newbee question. How can I make the single.php become three columns i.e. two sidebars.
Thanks for youe help in advance.
What a great theme, already using it on my blog!

Thank you once again for offering your wonderful and utterly professional-looking designs for free download. If I’m ever asked advice about premium wordpress designs, I will certainly recommend you!

Hello Justin,
Apologies for the double comment! After having some troubles showing excerpts for “recent.php” on the front page, I thought it best to let others know that you may need to create a custom field with the key of “excerpt” containing the excerpt you would like displayed in each post.
I know you have written this in the readme file, though after working with your Visionary theme I had expected the excerpts to show on their own, and had to re-read the readme a couple of times before I finally figured it out!
ops!
Aside from this, everything is wonderful. Thank you!!
Amazing job, beautiful theme and it’s Free: you’ve done an very cool job on this one!
Amanda/Justin, the excerpt problem is cleared up by correcting the check to see if their is a custom excerpt in recent.php. Change the !== to != and if you dont have a custom excerpt, it will use the standard wp excerpt. You do not have to have a custom excerpt.
Great work Justin! donation on its way…
It is a great theme and I am trying to play with it! Can we stop a video post from appearing in the recent section? In Visionary, it was easy. Well, can you add a theme live preview window?
Mr. Papa
Sorry I didn’t reply to your comment earlier today. I was in a hurry and only had a few minutes before work. I have changed a few things though, like with recent.php and video.php to make them work with widgets.
That’s a good call though. I forgot to test for that. You can change this line in “recent.php:”
To this:
I’ve updated the theme now. You can download it again and just replace the “recent.php” file or use the code above. Thanks for pointing this out.
Howard
I’ve tested it on several computers with IE6 now. I’ve tested my demo site and your site. You should definitely make sure you have Javascript enabled.
Yoichi
Thanks for the comments. Making a double sidebar will take a lot more work than what I can explain here in the comments section. It will take theme template XHTML editing and CSS editing. It’s not one of those things that can be easily done.
I regretfully say that I can’t help you completely rebuild the theme. I can, however, answer specific questions you have if you come across any. Building the two sidebars with this theme would take a lot of work. It would be like making an entirely new theme. Of course, you can always hire me for fairly cheap to do custom work through the contact page.
Dennis
I’m already planning on putting you in my next “great uses of my themes showcase.” I noticed your site earlier today. You’ve done some great work with the design.
Arnold
Thank you for using the theme. You current feature image almost seems to jump off the page a little. Everything’s looking good.
Amanda
I’ve fixed the “recent.php” file. Mr. Papa pointed this out earlier. I had changed a bit of code in the update, but didn’t change one line that I should have. I explained the code to Mr. Papa earlier in this comment. It now shows “the_excerpt()” or your custom “Excerpt.”
You can customize any way you like, of course. I like to think of my themes as a foundation for designers. What’s the point in using a free theme if you’re not going to make it your own in some way?
I am working on a business model for custom designs in the near future. I’m just working on a lot of different projects at the moment, so things are moving kind of slow. I am working on some paid jobs, but I’m not really advertising it yet. I don’t want to “bite off more than I can chew,” you know? I’m taking it one day at a time.
Milo
Thanks. Just trying to give a little back to the WordPress community.
Mr Papa
You beat me to it. You must’ve answered right before I started answering comments. I haven’t tested what you’ve done, but it looks like it should work. I’d be happy to take a donation too.
EarnBlogger
I’m glad you like the theme. You can change your recent posts easily by adding a little extra code. Change the “recent.php” query to look like this (ID is your category ID number).
I’m not sure what you mean when you ask me to add a theme live preview window. There’s a demo of the theme right now.
Thanks Justin… will grab the udpates… busy trying to customize and relaunch one of my sites with this by Christmas…
Thanks for your reply. I got it! Well, I was trying to tell you about a live preview window in my admin panel. It helps in viewing the page, without opening a new window. I think, I need a plugin for this. Thanks.
EarnBlogger
You do need a plugin for this. You can try out the Preview Theme Plugin or the Theme Switcher Plugin. I use the theme switcher for the demo page. I hope this helps.
Hey, I’m having a weird problem. After I activated the theme, no other plugin which uses javascript (I’m not sure if its due to jQuery) works!
Right now, I’m troubled because, two important plugins which I definitely need don’t work. Please reply soon if you have a solution for it. While I’ll break my head a bit too.
The plugins are:
Advanced Admin Menus (http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/admin-drop-down-menus/)
WP-Ratings (http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php)
Justin,
Another comment or issue perhaps… With the way you have changed recent.php, won’t it always duplicate the feature post in the left home (despite the comments in the code)?
I got around this by simply changing the new query instantiation to be:
$r_query = new WP_Query(’showposts=3&offset=1′);
Was that a desired change in operation, or have I missed something?
Justin – You use a visionary plugin on the Visionary. Will it work with this theme?
Steve
This is a very impressive theme. I’d love to see this with the first column being fluid. What do you think?
Hi justin,
I’m probably just being user stupid. Still working on modifying appliance.net to use the structure template. updated to 2.3 the tabs all work great in firefox but not msie. You are right that its not the theme itself, cause i the tabs work on your demo site, just not on my site. any hints on what i’m missing? it seems shows the floating alt text on the tabs when you hover over them, it just doesn’t execute a link on click. all works fine on firefox.
Manoj
I’m not sure what’s going on at the moment. I tested both of these plugins (already had the Post Ratings plugin activated), and both of them seem to work fine. This theme has “
jQuery.noConflict();” in “tabs.php,” so that it won’t conflict with other Javascript.One thing you might try is moving the two calls to the jQuery files below:
I can see how there might be some conflict with the Post Ratings plugin, but I don’t see any reason the theme itself would mess up Advanced Admin Menus.
Mr Papa
I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to do this. I’ve used this code before. Under:
Add this:
This will make the number of posts displayed in “recent.php” drop down one if your feature posts has been in the last few posts. If you use “offeset=1,” then you will always offset your first post, whether it’s a feature post or not. Honestly, this is one of the gripes I’ve had with WordPress. I haven’t found a better way to skip over a post.
This is one of those things I changed, but forgot to update the comments.
Steve
Definitely. It’s just an easy way to add custom fields. I do believe I used all the same custom field names, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
David
I don’t see that as a viable option with this theme because of the way the “content blocks” are set up. A fluid-width column would really throw things off.
Howard
I’m viewing your site in IE6, IE7, and Firefox right now. It’s working perfectly fine. Usually, I would say it’s a browser problem, but you said that my demo site works fine. I’m at a loss as to why you can’t click your own site’s tabs.
Does anyone else around here want to give it a try in IE6?
Actually, Mr Papa, I think I may have come up with an idea. It’ll be a day or so before I can implement it though. If you know your way around PHP well enough you can try fiddling with it a little.
I’m thinking that we should check to see if the post is duplicated, then decide how to run the query:
This would take a little more code than I’d like, but it should do the trick.
Justin,
thanks for the feedback on appliance.net I’m glad to hear you can see it properly.
we want to try to use BBPress to run forums so we’d want to integrate it into your theme. any thoughts on bbpress-ifying the structure theme?
howard
Justin, if I get a chance, I will give your suggestion a go… no problem with mucking with php and css
might just concentrate on the customization I am doing first since I likely wont have a case where the last post isn’t a feature…
[...] happy to say (again) that the search is over, I came across Wordpress Theme Structure by Justin Tadlock. I came across Justin Website thanks to Weblog Tools Collection, which by the way I recommend every [...]
Well, what I was thinking was that the first column could be fluid, at least when viewing a single article or a page. I’ll play around with it as it is to see how it might work for me. I want to use it for my technical blog (the one I linked to with this comment) so allowing the user to change the width to their liking would be, I think, a nicer experience. I’ll have to see, though.

Howard
That would take a bit of work. You can take a look at what I’ve done to Books in Bed (a failed Web project that I need to work on sometime in the future).
You really have to gut out the bbPress theme templates to get it working right. Of course, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at the code, so I’m not even sure where to start.
It sounds like a cool project I might be willing to help out on if I can find the time. It’d take me a while to get back into the groove of working with bbPress though. I don’t even have a copy running locally right now.
Mr Papa
I’ll see what I can throw together when I get home from work tomorrow, or I should say later today.

The first column could definitely be fluid, but it doesn’t seem like a good idea for me to release it as part of the theme because of the grid structure of the layout.
You could edit the CSS to make it work. I’m not sure how advanced you are with CSS, but I could definitely help out if you needed me to.
[...] Justin Tadlock released a new News/Magazine WordPress Theme called Structure; [...]
Howard/Justin,
Instead of BBPress, you guys should give Simple Forum a look (disclaimer, I help out on the plugin development)… Its a good WP forum plugin… Integrates as a simple WP page…
Simple Forum Link
I already have a skin that matches pretty closely… In a day or two, I will have it matched completely…
Justin,
Thanks for your prompt and kind response.
I’ll try Structure over the weekend. I might be back to bother you again
Cheers!
1) May I safely remove the line?
2) Has anyone successfully integrated this with bbPress yet and gotten posts from Structure to appear as new entries in bbPress for discussion?
Another question… what if you wanted to post two videos in the same post? Is it OK to have two Video tags? Is there any way to edit the content so that one could write text to introduce the first and then display the viewer and then text to introduce the second video and display a second viewer? Thanks again.
I installed ’structure’ just to find version 1.1 the next day. Typical of my luck. Justin, the newer version is even better than the original. I love the opportunity of being able to change the categories in the tabbed environment on the fly. The ads2 is also a nice touch. Keep up the great work.
For some reason I can’t get the video to show up on the homepage in FireFox 2. It shows up in IE 6 though for some reason. Any ideas why?
[...] cant get it free, but I have found something similar to it ( almost ) but free !! Here ……… Structure: WordPress Theme __________________ Greetings, James Hostican || Unmetered [...]
Very interesting.. All this while, I tried your theme at a WAMP platform on my PC. And it failed to work. So I created a new WP install at my host server and installed the theme and the plugins in question. They seem to be working fine.
I have no idea why it doesn’t work on my PC.
Anyways, that solved, I’ll start tweaking the theme right away!
Thanks again! 
Mr Papa
I’ll give that plugin a go sometime in the near future. From what I can see, it looks like a great alternative. I’d like to see what that skin looks like.
I’m also about to play around with our “recent.php” file. By the time we get through with it, it will be the best recent posts section ever.
I also want to say thanks for everything you’ve pointed out so far. You’ve been a big help. This kind of feedback really helps us theme designers become better at our trade.
Yoichi
I’ll be happy to help.
Aaron
Safely remove what line? From what file? If you’re trying to display code, wrap it in these tags:
And, use XHTML character entities for any “less than” or “greater than” signs.
I take it that you mean to display two videos in “single.php.” This is feasible. It’s a bit too much code to show here in the comments section, but the best way to do it would be to delete all the video code in “single.php.” Then, just code the videos in your “Write Post” page. There’s a way to do this with custom fields too, but it wouldn’t be ideal — too much extra code and too little to show for it.
Bryan
If you follow the directions correctly in the “readme.txt” file, then it will show in all browsers that have the Adobe flash plugin. I can’t really help you with errors of this kind without actually looking at the page and its source code. Do you have a link?
Manoj
That’s strange. You should check out this tutorial on installing WordPress locally with Xampp. Xampp has always worked great for me. The tutorial has all the links to the software you’ll need to download.
Great theme – makes me a little upset I paid $100 for a magazine layout recently. (Not on my main site) Troy
Troy
Thanks. I at least hope that the theme you paid for comes with plenty of customer service and guaranteed updates or something. I always say that selling themes means you must give full customer support. That’s what the user is really paying for because you can find $100 designs for free. This doesn’t mean that I don’t try to offer full support though.
Mr Papa
I think I’ve found a solution that works. Disregard the comment I left yesterday because you can’t check “
$do_not_duplicate;” before running the query. I’ve replaced the top of the “recent.php” file with the code below. Everything goes above the check for the thumbnail custom fields.You’ll also need to add
$i++;just before theendwhile;at the bottom of the file. Test this out and see if it works for you.Keep the ideas coming. I’d like to give a final update at the end of the week with all these extra things fixed.
In your demo, on the bottom left hand side you have a section of topics with images: Michael Jordan, Firefox, Piano. I can I replicate that on my site?
Justin,
will give it a shot… its very similar to how I changed the archives.php file to allow more than one excerpt post before listing the rest as titles, so I expect it would work…
send me an email if you want to see the customizations I have made to your very nice theme… I hope to have it out this weekend or so too, so any feedback would be appreciated… you would be welcome to any of the mods too…
Hi. I downloaded the Blogger port of the Visionary template. Very nice. I like the tabbed options on that template (but I can’t seem to get the archive to display in a tab section – any clues?). Anyway, I’m wondering if you are planning to port either this template or the Newspaper template? If not, can you give me suggestions on how to do it or point me to a site that can help?
Thanks,
Walt
Justin,
I had a couple of problems with your suggested fix… mainly global issues… anyways, here is one that appear to work…
A couple of notes… the $i++ is not required before the endw and I didnt decrement when found one to skip… fyi, you had the decrement after the continue anyways, so it wouldnt have run…
argh, that code got mangled… tried the pre and code tags, but it still chewed up the greater than stuff…
Justin, actually the video will display in FireFox, but not in the sidebar. If I place the video widget in the sidebar, it will only show up in IE.
Walt
Be sure to read the license included with the theme before you start modifying it though.
There are no plans to release this as a Blogger port. The port of Visionary was done without my permission at first, but I talked with the site owner and thought it was a worthwhile idea. I also cannot give you suggestions on how to port it. I suggest moving to WordPress because, honestly, Blogger is about the worst blogging platform you can use (I don’t mean this in a mean way, but brutally honest).
I also don’t offer support on Blogger templates. The code has changed from the original version. You can follow my tutorial on creating tabs with jQuery though.
Bryan
I see the problem. It’s not the video that’s not showing; it’s the entire
<div>that’s not showing. I’ve uploaded a fresh copy if you want to download it again. Or, you can open “style.css” and replace the existing two blocks of code with this:That’s a good find. I must’ve changed something right before I released it because it worked fine when I was testing it in the sidebar.
Mr Papa
I’ll have to look over more code later. It’s getting late right now. You should be able to comment with code correctly if you put it in this way, at least I hope you can.

Hi Justin,
Currently the ‘Feature Image’ also appears at the top of the single post. Is there a way not to show the designated image for ‘Feature’ in the single post?
Thanks
Justin,
Scratch my previous question. All I had to do was comment it in Single.php. Right?
That was really a great theme. Thank you very very much. I started using it as soon as i found. I love it. You are amazing
Thank you again…
Wow. Justin, this theme is gorgeous! I can’t wait to try it out on my blog. Haha. I’m in the mood for a theme change and I’m glad I dropped by here and saw this.
i had a bit of trouble making Visionary work with my blog. I’d definitely try this one out and see if it would work with what I gave in mind. Congratulations again on a great theme. 
Thanks for the reply Justin. Yes, I realize Blogger is in many ways inferior to Wordpress (just as Wordpress is in many ways inferior to Serendipity
. But, I’m forced to admit that’s really the reason I use Blogger. I have big issues with staying in focus – I’ve spent way too much time chasing down the latest “really cool” plug-in or template to get what I should have been doing done.
I also like Blogger’s dashboard with regards to organizing multiple blogs. (Yes, I know Wordpress.com does much the same thing, but they are too restrictive. And, last summer I tried to create “my own Blogger” using MU, but that turned out to be an abysmal failure
However, he bigger picture is really my ADD and inability to stay on task. Since Blogger is pretty restrictive, it ends up working out better for me.
Thanks for the link to the jQuery tutorial. I will check that out.
Justin, hate to bother you but I have a small bug in the ads.php. I inserted a google ad there that seems to get bumped down to the bottom of the but only on IE6. I tested Firefox and Safari and they it looks right. Do you know how can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I loved the theme too but didn’t want to say goodbye to my own theme. So I used the tabmenu from the structure theme and credited it in the footer. Hope that’s allright?
Ok, I fix it by adding,

Thanks. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Also, check back for updates. The first week of my releases are always bug-catching weeks.
Nika Catbagan
I also think this theme is a little easier to use than Visionary for the average user. Visionary was a theme for people with a little more XHTML and CSS knowledge. I attempted to make this theme easier to use for the general WordPress community.
Walt
Definitely check out the tutorial. You can use those techniques in things outside of WordPress even though I wrote the tutorial with WordPress users in mind.
Luis
I’m glad you got everything working. One thing I did notice is this:
It should be like this if you want to center something:
CiNNer
That’s perfectly fine. You can also check out my tutorial on how to create tabs using jQuery
Fantastic theme! I can’t believe, it’s FREE, LOL! Voted already and using on 2 of my blogs. Wonderful job, thanks!
Justin,
Now that I’ve had a couple of days to mess around under the hood I can’t believe how easy this theme is to modify although it looked quite daunting at first. One question, maybe I’m missing something obvious but I’m using 75×75 thumbnails associated with categories. Is there a way to automatically associate those images with their corresponding categories as opposed to editing each post by adding custom fields? If not no big deal. Just wondering.
@Justin: I tried that first but it didn’t turn out as beautyfull and easy to adjust as your menu. Great compliment for the theme, it’s really great!
Just figuring out this theme – thanks again Justin.
My “Structure Recent” seems to bjork (break) my page. I created an Excerpt key, but it always comes up as an empty block.
Ive left it on there so you can see it at my site, http://www.troyrutter.com. I actually have it in the LEFT block, but it appears in the right block and throws everything off. Plus I have no idea why its blank.
it is a nice theme, but i wanna make some modifications…
1. how to shows full text post on the front page?
i’ve been tried to edit it by myself, but i couldn’t
find which file that should be edited,
recent.php/index.php?
2. could i add a picture as a webpage header background and how to do that?
IngaOz
Thanks. I hope you enjoy using it.
Len
You should check out a few of the new options in Version 1.1.2. It makes it even easier to modify. That was one of my main goals after the initial release — make things easier for the user to have a “structure” that suits them.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking with images associated with categories. Is this something you’ve created yourself? I’ll need more details on how this works.
CiNNer
That’s cool. I just wanted to point it out in case you wanted to learn more about it.
Troy
Thanks for pointing it out. I’ve updated the theme to version 1.1.2, so you should be able to see your “Structure Recent” posts correctly.
I believe you only have to update your “recent.php” and “style.css” files. I’ve updated the “readme.txt” on this, and also see “new-style-rules.css” to make sure nothing goes “bjork” (there was a left column style bug).
Once again, thanks for the feedback. I hope all the bugs are now squashed.
Dzaia-bs
Thanks. I suggest using the “Excerpts” theme style for this. After making this your theme style in “Structure Options,” you need to open “excerpts.php.” Change this line:
To this:
Also, do the same for “features.php” if you want your feature article to be full length. If you want to just use the “Default” theme style, only change “features.php.”
You can add a background image for the header by using this tutorial on valid XHTML clickable header images.
Everyone
Version 1.1.2 is now out! There are a few new features that make customization even easier. Try it out and let me know if you find any other bugs. The feedback has been great thus far, which allows me to continuously improve the theme.
Nice theme, your theme is easier to use than Brian Garner’s “Revolution” series. Thanks a lot, I will use this theme for my site
Thanks Justin – that fixed the Recent posts part, but I still can’t get the images to work. For instance on my Verizon Wireless post, I added the Thumbnail custom key and the URL (you can see it on the actual article itself) but it isn’t being called by the recent.php script I don’t think.
I know PHP so Ive been trying to troubleshoot, but this one has me confused. It’s like its not even acknowledging I entered in the key.
Ack, nevermind. It was because the post I put the thumbnail in was the FEATURED, not a RECENT.
Not sure if I like the featured article being skipped, might have to recode that one and take the skip out.
Everythings working now ( think), thanks!

Hey Justin -
One suggestion -
You might want to wrap each 125px ad in an ad “div” of its own. Right now you are relying on the image tag to define the size of the ad If someone (like me) wants to use a google 125 ad, or other 3rd party serving, it will break the layout.
I added the following:
.my_ads {
width: 125px;
float: left;
margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
to styles.php
and then edited the ads.php and ads2.php to surround the individual ads already setup in the my_ads class.
Seems to work for me. Just a suggestion. You are the expert!
Anonymous
Thanks. I’m sure Brian’s theme isn’t too hard to use. He’s in the process of learning new things every day with his development skills. His “Revolution” series will only continue to get better. I’m flattered that you would compare my work to his though.
Troy
If you don’t want the feature skipped, then you can just delete the part that checks if the feature’s been displayed (look for $do_not_duplicate).
This theme was designed for 125×125 px image ads, so I coded for that specifically. There’s no plans to change this because there’s no way to know exactly what everybody will use.
Josef and Yoichi
Neither of these are theme-specific questions, and I don’t have the time at the moment to walk you through any of this. The best place to find support for questions like these are the WordPress support forums. There are a lot of great people there that are willing to help. If you can’t get help after a few days, send me an email through my contact page, and I’ll see what I can do for you.
Hi, some assistance please. If I navigate away from my site and then return I find that the tabs in the sidebar no longer function in that you cannot select any of the tabs. When I refresh the page the problem is gone. The problem only occurs in IE7, in Firefox there is no problem. Thanks.
Arnold
Your tab issue is likely caused by one of a few different things: invalid XHTML, the modifications you’ve made, other Javascript, or plugins running on your blog. Since it’s not the original theme, there’s no way for me to test what’s going on. I would suggest going through that list of things, and see if any of those are causing the problem.
Justin,
I just changed the order in which I include things in home.php and my problem with the tabs has been solved. Thanks.

Hi Justin
Thanks so much for this great theme and all the effort to improve it. I just find ONE little problem with it: something weird happens in Opera. Not sure why but sometimes the hope page gets really messy.It works great in Firefox and EVEN in Explorer, but somehow it doesn’t act OK in Opera.

One quick question…… I added a banner where the blog name shows up at the top…. I can’t get rid of the title above it though….. since the banner has my site’s name on it, I need to ditch the title….. can anyone help? Thanks.
Oh….. and I did discover one thing….. you can’t have more than 9 categories on the tabs categories…. I tried to make 10 and the 10th one would revert back to Category 1…… just thought that was interesting in case anyone wanted to make more than 9 categories…..
Thank you very much, Justine. I almost rush my wallet for magazine layout WP theme. I got it perfect and free from you.
Good Luck.
I’m sorry for unspecific question. I’ll try it again. So I use Structure theme. In Visionary theme I notice you can see tab called “Archives” next to section “, Latest, Popular, Section” on the main page. But in the Structure I can’t see this tab. My question is, how to add Archive tab into my sites. I try to change tabs.php, because there is something about archive (the last part):
<a class=”t1 tab” title=”">
<a class=”t2 tab” title=”">
<a class=”t3 tab” title=”">
<?php /* Uncomment for archives view
<a class=”t4 tab” title=”"> */ ?>
But I don’t know exactly what and how to change the code. Can you help me? Thanks for answer.
<a class="t1 tab" title=""><a class="t2 tab" title="">
<a class="t3 tab" title="">
<?php /* Uncomment for archives view
<a class="t4 tab" title=""> */ ?>
the theme is for noncommercial blog? may I know what is it mean and the limitation? we can’t put any adsense?
Josef…. I stink at CSS but try removing the /* and the */….. you may also have to remove those words that say “Uncomment for archives section”….. just remember to copy it before you do anything so that you can paste it back in correctly if it doesn’t work…..
that’s how I’ve learned….. copy everything onto a notepad, try your idea, if it blows up in your face then erase it and paste the original back in…. LOL
Let me know if it works…. I have this open in a tab and will check back…..
Josef!!! Never mind!!! I got a parse error!!! I had to paste back in the original!!! Sorry…..
GREAT THEME!! FORGET my comment on the newspress theme asking for help! I’m switching to this one! Wow, this is EXACTLY what i’ve been looking for. Now I just need to learn alot about how exactly to use it and its going to be perfect!!
thank you!!
Arnold
I’m glad you got it working. Sometimes plugins and other scripts conflict, and there’s not much we can do about it but play around with it until it works.
Luis
Thanks. Opera sometimes goes a little wonky when too many things are loading. At least that’s been my experience.
Kayecee
Here’s a tutorial I wrote on valid XTHML clickable header images. To make the title go away, you can open “header.php” and wrap this:
With these tags:
Then you need to open “style.css” and add this in the header section:
You can have as many tabs as you want to. You just have to manually edit “tabs-categories.php.” However, having too many tabs will break the layout a bit. That’s why there’s only an option to put in eight tabs.
Josef
You’ll have to scroll down to the bottom of the file and uncomment the part that displays the archives. You need to delete these lines in both places:
Ben
You can use ads if you want, sell products, or make whatever kind of money you want from your blog. The noncommercial part is for those people that like to steal themes and redistribute them. You can’t make money by distributing the theme. I hope this clears things up.
Gershom
Thanks. I hope you enjoy it. I tried to make it as easily customizable as possible.
Yay! Thanks! It’s looking better and better!
One last question for now and I’ll leave you alone….. I have subcategories underneath main categories….. is there any way to make the tabs in the sidebar show ONLY the main categories underneath the Sections tab? Thanks bunches! *kiss, kiss*
Justin, just relaunched my Cruise site with your theme plus my modifications. You can check it out at:

Very cool. I like the color changes. They really fit your blog’s topic.
I think I have to give you a little thanks too! You’ve been a big help with sorting out bugs.

No problem. Now, go make money with your site!
I’m enjoying using “structure” very much and will be working on some slight modifications. Thanks so much!
http://rasml.org/
Hi Justin
Let me begin by saying congratulations and (especially) THNAKS for releasing such a lovely theme. I am of course referring to your newest WP theme Structure. I love Structure and I currently am in the process of switching a group blog I run over to it. I would like to have it switched over by the end of this month.
Anyhow, although I am experienced in using Wordpress, I am far from an expert. This brings me to why I am contacting you. I have made several cosmetic changes to your theme with no problem. However I have run into a few problems and was wondering if I might get your help.
I am not looking for much help and would:
A)be willing to pay you a little for your troubles. To be honest I’m rather broke but would be happy to paypal you 25$ for your help.
B)I would more than happy to share any tweaks with the rest of the WP world. I’m looking for secret, just for me modifications, that no one else can use. I just want to get your theme to meet a few of my (and who knows maybe others) needs a little better.
Here is what I am Looking for
To alter the excepts display so that it displays full posts (the way WP themes typically do) including author, number of comments, date, categories, etc.
Alter the way comments display at the bottom of posts so that include; comment number and the other layout style as seen/found on both your visionary and theme you yourself are currently using. More specifically things like the commente’s and comment images.
Lastly instructions for including other images such as tag, category and date images. Much like your visionary and personal themes.
T
hanks again and I hope you are willing to help.
Avi
Hi Justin,
I’m really enjoying working with the template. We’ve made a bunch of little changes to match it to our needs.
One suggestion I got from our site editor, take off the width constraint on the feature image. We left the height on to preserve the box size, but constraining both requires her to edit every feature image before including it. otherwise the aspect ratio gets all messed up.
do you have a list of the changes in the newest release so we can manually insert them into our now altered files?
Mr. Papa mentioned that he was working on integrating simple forums into this theme. any idea if he’s made any progress?

Fantastic theme but I’m having a problem with it…and I really am new to Wordpress so I might be just being an idiot here.
I really like the layout of your demo piece, but my defaul did not look like that, and try as I might I can’t find the way to get one single article to appear above the tabbed section as you have it laid out there.
What (probably obvious thing) am I missing?
BTW, under the Structure Options on my dashboard, I don’t have the following:
- Display Feature Article?
Select “Yes” or “No” to display a feature article on “home.php.”
- Feed URL
Enter your feed URL for the feed section on the front page (defaults to blog’s normal RSS feed).
- Feed by Email URL
Enter your feed’s email URL (defaults to blog’s normal RSS feed).
- Flickr URL
Enter the URL to your Flickr photostream if you’re using the FlickrRSS plugin (defaults to http://flickr.com).
Those don’t show up.
Huh, nevermind. I think I just figured it out…I must have skimmed over the concept of that being tag related.
Sorry to bug…really sweet theme!
Avi
I’ve sent you an email.
SR
Thanks. Modify all you want. I tried to leave it open a bit for those of you what would want to.
Howard
Thanks for the suggestion. I guess if you write a lot of feature articles it can become time consuming.
The newest changes are listed in the new “readme.txt” (close to the top) and “new-style-rules.php.” If you need help with more specifics, I’ll try to explain them.
Mr Papa
It’s looking good. Your modifications look cool.
Donald
Only Version 1.1.2 has those newest things you’re looking for under theme options. You might’ve downloaded one of the older versions. I’m going to try and trim down that “readme.txt” file at some point. It’s gotten a little long.
I’ll be using your theme in a few days. Just while modifying it today, I found out a little typo error in comments.php
There is no space between Responses and to. Screenshot: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/1940/typonr0.jpg

Is there a quick and easy fix?
Haris
Thanks for the feedback. I must’ve messed that up when I was updating the code in “comments.php.” It’s updated now.
J.D.
You’ll have to ask the plugin author about that. I didn’t create it. The only Popularity Contest code the theme uses is in the sidebar.
Hello I really love your new theme! Do you offer any themes to be used for commercial? Or any themes for sale?
Just a quick note, but if anyone here uses the Simple Forum WordPress plugin, an integrated Structure Skin is now available…
You can get the skin at: http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/simple-forum-skins/
Really a nice theme… with a great new concept… I decided to use it on my site i.e. http://www.corpoalert.com
But.. there is always scope for improvement..
I would just suggest you to try to make this a bit lighter… that would result in lesser eating of resources..
Because most visitors on the web still don’t have high speed internet connection yet… and they would be fed up to wait for long times,,,,

Thanks. You can use any of my themes on sites that make money. You just can’t profit from the distribution or selling of the theme. Although I don’t have a services page up, I still do custom design work for people. If you’re interested, just use my contact page to get in touch with me.
Mr Papa
Thanks for giving us the link. I’ll try it out sometime this weekend. This is the type of stuff that makes the WordPress community so great — one person can have a great idea and another can take that idea a step farther. Great work!
Sunit
Thanks. What’s great about this theme is that you can choose how light it’s going to be depending on what kind of traffic you get. Over 96% of my visitors use high-speed Internet, at least according to Google Analytics.
There are many options available. If your site’s visitors have slower connection speeds, then you can easily remove things from your page by way of theme options or widgets. It really depends on what the theme user decides to do. This is also a reason that this theme has very few images.
I like the template; however, the tabs don’t seem to degrade well. With Javascript turned off. They do nothing but take up space. Could this be an issue of JQuery? I realize that web browsers should run with Javascript on but not all do. Have you considered maybe using Domtab (http://onlinetools.org/tools/domtabdata/) or Tab Panel Magic by Projectseven.com (http://www.projectseven.com/products/tools/tabpanel/index.htm)? With javascript turned off the tabbed blocks stretch out vertically allowing the viewer to see all the links that were intended for them. Plus, the tabs still work as it brings the viewer down to the block with those link.
Thought you might be interested as it could solve a problem for some viewers.
ChrisC
It’s not a problem with jQuery, but a problem with how I wrote the XHTML. It’s an issue that I will fix in a later update though. It’s one of those things that’s not on the top of the priority list (though it probably should be) because something around 6% of Internet users have Javascript turned off. Only 1.69% of my site’s visitors have it turned off.

First off, thanks for the great theme! My question is about feedburner and wordpress. I am having trouble setting up my rss feed through feed burner.
I downloaded the plugin Wordpress suggest we use however, when I enter my URL (http://www.ryanrreed.com) that is where I have a problem.
After I enter the URL, Feedburner says it has discovered more than one feed at that address”
RSS 2.0: http://ryanrreed.com/?feed=rss2
RSS .92: http://ryanrreed.com/?feed=rss
Atom 0.3: http://ryanrreed.com/?feed=atom
When I select RSS 2.0, Feedburner then tells me my URL does not appear to be a valid feed, then proceeds to tell me about an error on line 2 and that “the processing instruction target matching “[xX][mM][lL]” is not allowed.”
What can I do to get this straightened out? I have googled this topic to death and can’t seem to figure out how to get my feed to work. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Hi Justin,
I’ve finally got Structure live and kicking! Perhaps the very first Japanese version?
But I still have some stuff that I can’t figure out and would very much appreciate your guidance when you have the time. Sorry for my ignorance.
1. How can I adjust the space between lines in the posts?
2. Is there a way to have the category tabs in Japanese?
3. For IE6, the search box is not aligned correctly. How can I fix this?
Thank you for your help and wishing you a very Merry X’mas!
Oh just one more thing
The main-nav tab does not change it’s color after selected. Where can I fix this?
Thanks.
Hi Justin,
the more we play with it the more we love it. Appliance.Net is just rockin using Structure.
We added a more feature to the center tabbed articles
We added simpleforums (thanks Mr. Papa)
I’d love your help on one change. I wanted to change the video on the front page to select randomly from my set of videos rather than grab the last one. I haven’t figured out the syntax to do it yet. hoped you could throw me bone and save me a days messing around.

Howard, for what its worth… you aren’t using the structure skin in you simple forum installation… you probably know this, but I think you would like better than the default one you are using… it would clean up all those borders… you could easily tweak it to add some red to match your tweaks to structure… the structure skin has to be downloaded separately and added to the skins folder under simple forum and then activated from the manage simple forum – options – styles page…
Not so important but want to mention… “link_pages” tag that you used was deprecated since 2.1 so it is better to change it with “wp_link_pages” tag otherwise only the first page of the multipage posts can be viewed.
And a question: i am translating all the .php docs of the theme into Turkish for my personal use but wanna ask that if a language .po file is available for this theme. I can translate it and it can be easier for other Turkish users to use this perfect theme.
Thanks again.

You need to ask this over at Feedburner or WordPress support.
Yoichi
I’ve seen a few Japanese versions, but not many. To adjust the space between lines, you can use the “line-height” property. In your CSS, it would be something like this:
You’ll have to manually edit “tabs-categories.php” if you want to get your tabs in Japanese, since I’m assuming that your category names are in English. The search box seems to be aligned correctly in IE6, so I wouldn’t know what to do to fix it. You’ll have to follow the examples in “main-nav.php” to get the links to change colors if it’s selected.
If you need more help, I’ll try to get back to you by the end of the weekend, but I’m a little busier than usual today and tomorrow.
Howard
I see you’ve added some cool things. Make sure you get that Structure skin for simple forums from Mr Papa. I’ll see what I can do about getting random videos, but it could be a few days before I have time to sit down with the code.
Aydin
I’ll update the “link_pages” thing in the next update. Thanks for pointing this out. I guess it’s one of those things that is easily overlooked. There is no language .po file. If you want to offer a translated version, I’d be happy to offer it as a download here, so it’ll be available to other Turkish users (with a link back to you, of course).
Thanks Justin,
The space between the lines and the main-nav are now fixed.
As for the search box, not a big deal but the box is stuck to the body.
And for the categories tabs I’ve put category slugs (i.e. $c1 = “cm”; etc.) but couldn’t figure out where to put in the Japanese text. Could you point where to change so Japanese will appear on the tabs when you have time.
Thanks for your patience.
Me again.
I just noticed there is a link to a image-size.css in the header.php. Am I missing this style sheet cause I can not find it anywhere or should this line be deleted.
Again, apologies for my ignorance.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful theme to work with. I am using it on my website Australian Women Online and it not only looks great, the Struture theme allows me to do so many things I couldn’t do before with other themes.
Hello,
I just published this theme, but it does not look like demo.
http://redcafevn.net/wordpress/
Can the guys tell me how can I make like demo?
Thanks in advance.
Thanh
Me again. I finished the required translation. Although the options panel of the theme is still English, after the installation everyone will see a Turkish version. Also i translated readme.txt adding extra info for Turkish users, so options panel is no longer a problem i think
i added a link to my site under your name in the footer, hope it is OK.
It can be downloaded by clicking here.
Cheers
How do you get the Featured Article to work? Is it a plugin?
Mr. Papa
Thanks for the reminder about the simple forum skin. I ran out of time to put it up. I’m gonna try to do it on Monday.
Justin
We were talking about the video randomizer on Friday. What we’d ideally like to do, is combine it with your “newest video” scheme with an if then construction and get this:
grab the newest video, if the post date is less than 3 days old show it. else randomize and show one of the cool archival videos.
We still need to suck up some of your upgrades – I still need to fix the excerpts in the recent posts.
We’re working on versions for Bicycle.Net and Sportswriter.net this week. Sportwriter.Net needs to use some RSS to Post code so that we can add a bunch of tabs to show feeds/posts for various sports. Bicycle.Net we need to integrate a calendar and a Photo Gallery. But soon we’ll have some very cool Structure based sites.

You would have to change the “

Hello Justin.
Awesome theme you have here!
I do have an issue though. When trying to add a small javascript into a post (a digg like vote button) when I save the post part of the script gets commented out.
I’ve tried both with isual editor onand off, since Iknow WP used to have an issue with it on… no luck.
Is this from the jquery script? Any fixes?
Also, what all is the jquery script used for in the theme?
Thanks,

That’s too bad. I wish I knew more about using Japanese characters, so I could help.
Alexandru
Everything seems to be working fine for me. Was this happening before you added in the extra things you’ve added?
en3ro
No problem. I probably should open a forum though.
Ron
The jQuery is used only for the tabs. I used a “no conflict” variable in the jQuery that should make it so that it doesn’t interfere with other Javascript. However, some scripts conflict, and there’s no way to anticipate what will happen.
If the problem is it being commented out by WordPress though, it has nothing to do with the theme. This sounds like it might be a good question over at the WordPress support forums.
Gee Justin, I wonder where you could find a nice forum plugin with matching script…
First let me say, Great Theme and Thank You
Is there anyway to prevent a post to a category from showing up in the Featured space. I would like to control what goes there. Seems everything I post no matter which category is showing up there.
Thanks in advance, keep up the great work.
Thanks Justin and Merry Christmas!
Hi!
I tried to put the image to the post but not showed. I read the readme page but can’t do it. Can someone help me to do that?
thanks
RE:Is there anyway to prevent a post to a category from showing up in the Featured space

Hi Justin:
We’re still working on tweaks for structure for appliance.net. I could use a bit of help on two spots:
1. I wanted to put a second block of tabs low in the right margin. made tabs2.php but I’m getting a variable overlap with the upper tabs block tabs.php so when i click, for example, the 3rd tab in either block they both redraw as the third tab. clearly i have a variable in common so i’m stepping on myself.
you can see it yourself and laugh. I assume I need to make a change/addition to the .tabbed section of the style.css and then use the same naming scheme to rename the classes in tabs2.php but I’m not having any success.
Second:
I want to embed a non youtube video and have it play on the video.php box on the home page.
Video link
here for example is a video. any ideas on integrating it?
have a happy new year. I look forward to your feedback.
h.
Mr Papa
I know. I’ve just been too lazy…I mean busy to play around with it.
Lloyd
Yeah, you must use WordPress 2.3 or change the tag call to category.
Ron
You’re welcome. Merry Christmas!
Hawkar
I’m glad you figured it out. I don’t know anything about making Norwegian characters. You might have to ask that over at the WordPress support forums.
Alexandru
Don’t tell me you didn’t change anything when I obviously saw that you’ve made changes. I see you’ve taken the theme down now though and it could be hard to help without seeing it.
Howard
With the tabs, we’ll need to do some class changes for a second set. If you notice the differences between the category tabs and the sidebar tabs, you can see how they’re named differently. I’ll look at what you need as soon as I get a few minutes of free time.
I’ll also look at the video too. I’ve only tested with YouTube, MetaCafe, and Google Video.

Just to clarify: Where does “commercial use” begin for you?

I apologize for the inconvenience
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for creating this theme! I’m not a pro at WordPress, and I’ve had difficulty setting up some of the magazine-styled themes I recently purchased. Yours was so easy to figure out, especially since you included a detailed readme file. I have already recommended your theme to some of my blogger friends. Thanks again SO much!
Hi Justin,
Great theme, I just have one questio though, what file and part of that file would I edit to place ads at the end of posts?
Any help would be great.
Thanks, James.
I love this theme!! However, I have one little problem. I work on a Mac and use Firefox 2.0. The Flickr photos do not show up. There are just boxes with numbers in them (probably the number the camera gave it??)
Would there be any chance that you might think about seeing what could be done so that the Flickr photos in your fabulous theme will work in Firefox on a Mac?
Michael
Pretty much anything’s possible with WordPress. Here’s a cool example of something similar to what you’re talking about: Kookjegek. Also, look at how it’s done in the “recent.php” file.
Stefan
I should probably make it a little clearer what I mean by “noncommercial” in the license.
Linda
Thanks. I’m glad you’ve found it easy. I can only hope to continue making it better and offering themes with even easier options.
James
You can edit “single.php.” There are several places you could put ads, so if you could be a little more specific about where you want them, I could show you.
Nina
Unfortunately, I don’t have a Mac to test on here in Korea. It seems no one around here uses one. Maybe these questions will help us get to the bottom of the issue:
Have you tested it on other browsers and computers to see if the photos are showing up? Do you have a link that I can see? Have you checked the plugin’s download page to see if there are any other users with the same problem?
This honestly doesn’t sound like a theme-specific issue, but I’ll try to help the best I can.

Hello, Thank you for Theme. I have question about WordTube, it would be great if it can work in video section on main page.
Also, whenever I have wordtube video in post, on actual post page vidoes shows perfect. However, on Category Page, Achieve etc, where it lists all posts, it just shows plain flash player code, any way to fix that? I wanted to place wordtube playlist in featured box on very top, but it just shows code.
Thank you.
Zach,
Wordtube works just fine where you mention… its how my site works… however, instead of using the video block, just dump the wordtube widget into the home block right widget area… please note, on my site, I have modded the wordtube widget to display 3 random videos…
Chris
I happened to notice that you sent me an email through the contact page. Just as a note, I delete all emails requesting theme help. It’s nothing personal, but I have to keep some kind of organization when it comes to theme questions. Please ask support questions on the theme’s page.
I did scan over your email though. I don’t use widgets on my demo site, so the way it looks on the demo is how the theme comes out of the box.
If you want to donate, there’s a donation link on this page.
Hawkar
The charset is automatically generated by WordPress. You can change it in “header.php.” Here’s what the code looks like:
Missy
You can open “main-nav.php” to change or delete the links (not tabs) in your top navigation menu. I’m not sure what you’re asking about creating new Pages. I assume they don’t go anywhere.
Zach
You might want to try Mr Papa’s suggestion. I haven’t tested WordTube with the theme, and it could be a while before I get around to it.
Greetings Justin,
You’re probably getting tired of hearing this, but this theme rocks. I love the way it’s shaping up at my site aesthetically, and the power of this theme in terms of its practicality in displaying and managing content is obvious.
My question for you is how can I get my pages to display in the main nav at the top of the page. In the past,(with other themes) creating About, Weblinks, Contributors, etc., pages was as simple as creating a page and publishing it on the backend.
However, this tack had absolutely no effect on the main nav. At that point I figured I’d have to hack the main nav file a bit to get it working. I have zero experience with php, but I thought I could figure it out as I have had fair success with hacking cascading style sheets. After a couple of hours chopping away at the code without any real success I gave up.
In addition to this, I have found that my images won’t display on the front page with the latest post.
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc., are appreciated.
In closing, I will add that even with these minor issues, this theme is great for bloggers wishing to maximize the visibility of their content–clean and elegant, it looks good and is practical ta boot.
Thanks:)

Justin – I’ve tried the theme on my local machine, as well on my host and cant’ seem to get the tabbed section that you have on the demo site to show up on my (2) installations. According to the instructions I should be able to turn on that feature from the Theme + Structure Option, is there something that I might be missing by chance?
Fantastic Theme, Justin! You put some awesome work on it and it is just perfect for my site. Just a small question: (hope this doesin’t sound too foolish) For a particular ‘page’ I don’t want the sidebar to show at all. Where do I comment out the statement…?
I think the php statement got cut off when my message got posted. I wanted to know how to comment out the php statement calling the sidebar().
Just one more point that I wanted to add. When you go to a particular category, it only lists the thumbnail and description of the latest post in that category. Only the titles of the previous posts are shown. Is there any way that you can make it display thumbnails and short descriptions of all the posts in that particular category..?
Hi Justin,
your theme structure is really beautiful!
I want to use it on my blog @ think blogging, so I decided to translate it into German.
Now I want to ask you, if it’s ok to release the translated version.
I have not changed anythink else, only translated the text to German.
Exillent work! The best theme I have seen in a long time:) I want to change my blog and use this theme but really need to be able to have full post as Avi asks here. I noticed that you send him/her (?) a email explaning. I would really appriciate if you had the time to forward the instructions to me aswell.

Nice theme. I’d love to finally see someone who auto-generated thumbnail feature of wordpress, instead of custom fields to create thumbnails for main page.
I’ve had a custom designed theme made and he used a replace function using the autogenerated feature, something like this: php echo str_replace(‘.jpg’, ‘.thumbnail.jpg’, get_the_content
Just wanted to drop a line to say that I love your theme. It is perfect for my uses. I am in the process of modifying it a bit to fit my needs, but overall it is excellent. Good job

Justin,
Awesome template, THANKS! Also Happy New Year, can’t wait to see what else you come up with.
Been trying to get a header into Structure, and haven’t been able to figure out how to 1) get it over the menu system, and 2) remove the title appearing in the header.
Thanks
Chad
If you take a look in the “main-nav.php” file, there’s a link to dynamic menu highlighting. You should check that out. It really takes zero PHP skills.
I’m assuming the images your referring to is part of “recent.php.” To get those thumbnails to show up, you must put an image URL in for the custom field Value of a Key named “Thumbnail.”
Dave
That’s because you’re using the “Excerpts” style. The tabbed categories only works for the “Default” style.
Magneto
To make the sidebar not show at all, you’ll have to open “footer.php” to comment it out. However, by doing this, the layout wouldn’t look right. You’ll have to add in custom style rules and probably a PHP statement to show that you commented it out.
To make all the posts show like the first one, you’ll have to delete the bottom part of the file and query more than one post at the top. It’s a process that’ll take quite a bit of work.
Hobby
I’m actually releasing a German translation (along with a French, Spanish, and Korean translation) sometime soon. I’ve got a few things I’ve got to work out first. You can send your file over though and maybe we can compare.
Stefan
Avi and I are working on a custom design, but if you wait around a few days, I’ll have a full posts option ready to go.
Steven
Thanks for the compliments. I’m not sure what you’re saying about auto-generating a thumbnail though. It sounds like something worth checking out.
David
Everything looks cool. Thanks for using the theme.
Josh
Give it a tag named “features.” That’s it.
Mike
Maybe you can check out my post on valid XHTML clickable header images. Of course, it would need some modifying because the code is a little different, but it should help out.
Justin,
Would you be needing a Japanese translation as well?
I’ll be happy to help you there. The least I can do
haha, thanks justin. for some reason that one completely went over my head! to many late nights.
another dumb question: how do i edit the sidebar on the right that says “Latest” “Popular” “Sections” to say something completely different and do completely different things. Is there any other way of doing besides the sidebar-single.php? if not, what’s the easiest way to do it via sidebar-single.php?

hello, i’m a french blogger searching a magazine theme for wordpress. I’ve tested your theme, it is very well done, i think i’ll try it for a future idea, so i’m going to translate in french in some weeks, i’ll give you the translation…
Thanks for this theme very useful….
First I want to thank you very much for this great theme! I have implemented it on my blog (and translated it partly into German). By the way, the feedback in Germany is impressive
Just one question: I would like to use the category tabs. But I would prefere to work with tags. So I would be more flexible. Is it possible? What`s to do?
Thanks in advance, Armin (and thank you again)
I’d love to see automated thumbnails created for the main page if it isn’t already done so. You can take advantage of wordpress’s automated thumbpage feature and use code like this, borrowed from a designer i hired to do an original theme previously. I’d love to see it part of this theme, as i can’t code myself.
Depending on the situation, he says you can also use CSS to downsize the
full-sized image to 100% width of the container image instead
I have the structure layout and I love it but since I upgraded my wordpress to version 2.3.2 and now the featured story does not display at all. I previously had version 2.3.1
sorry I came from wordpress version 2.3 (it was working then) then when I went to 2.3.1 it stopped working so I upgraded again to 2.3.2 and feature story still does not appear
Yoichi
Actually, a Japanese version would be great. I’ll email you in the next few days.
Josh
No problem. That “readme.txt” file is kind of large right now.
For the tabs, you’ll have to edit “tabs.php” to change things. There’s a unordered list of the tabs that you’ll have to edit at the top of the file, but you’ll also have to edit the corresponding sections at the bottom of the file to include what you want.
le blognoteur
Thanks. I could definitely use the help on the French translation. My French is very bad.
Armin
This is untested, but I think it would only take editing the query at the bottom of “tabs-categories.php.” Try editing this line to query tags:
I’ll look into it a little more when I have a moment to sit down.
Steven
I’ll look into the automated thumbnails feature sometime.
Nette
I’m not sure what’s going on right now. I haven’t updated to 2.3.2, but the theme was created on 2.3.1. I’ll update over the weekend, so I’ll see if anything needs to change. I was trying to find the tag “features” on your blog, but couldn’t though. Make sure your feature article has the tag of “features.”
There’s a problem viewing Structure with Opera, the right sidebar moves to the bottom.
Anyway, it’s the greatest theme I’ve ever seen.
I’m modifying this template to begin a new project.
Thanks for sharing your work Justin.
Will be standing by
Justin,
Thanks that fixed my issue. I sooo love this layout. Thanks again keep up the good work
I really like the theme and would like to change the sizes of the two main blocks below the feature article and the list of tabbed categories. These two “sidebar-like” blocks (block-left) and (block-right) would be changed to allow the left block to be wider while the right block be a bit narrower to allow some of my widgets to look cleaner. I tried editing the stylesheet and adding a defined width to each of the two block styles, but nothing changed. How can I change the width? Thanks!
Hey Justin,
I used your valid xml document to get my header into the template, http://www.divorcelawmagazine.com but I was unable to find where to stick the code to get it above the menus. If you can just point me to the write block or .php to edit that would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
PS. Just love this theme! It is better then a couple I was looking at buying like the Revolution themes.
no issues for me with 2.3.2
Hey Justin,
Your Theme is just amazing. I edited it for my purposes. I hope you like the colors. Thank you for you theme and you engagement for alls us WP users.
greets,
ruben b
when i’m in tabs.php if i want to add in a login section or some other (like you mentioned above) am i going to have to use php scripting to do that? and if so, i’m pretty new to it, is there some tutorial you can give me a link to?
(btw, the structure theme is, to me personally, the best theme on the net thus far)
Justin,
I figured it out finally. You have to create a new “.menu” class and name it something else while only changing the width. I added 50px to menu and made another class called “.thinmenu” with 50px removed to keep everything even. Then I went into the functions.php and changed the “block-right” to include “.thinmenu” I kept “block-left” as “.menu” and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for your hint. I have even found a better way for my problem with your help.
$c_query = new WP_Query(‘post_id=’.$c_name.’&showposts=1′);
Have a nice weekend!
Hello Sir,
Thank you for a most excellent theme! I have a question and maybe you or another would be able to help? In the experts (bottom left 3 post block) I want to exclude 1 category from showing there.

Hey, I’m still thinking about using your Structure theme. I would like to see the two sites that have used your theme but have adapted it. Can’t find the link. Can you point me to those two pages again? (One was pink and one was green . . .)
