I’ve felt a need for a while to come up with something a little more original. There’s always that pressure to top yourself each time you design a new theme when you’ve release a few that’ve had thousands upon thousands of downloads.
Not too long ago, I got tired of creating new themes but basically using the same ol’ code. I wanted to really push the WordPress system. Thus, the Options theme was born.
The idea behind the Options theme is that I can continually build upon the code. It offers me a way to continue getting better at PHP and gives users a way to update their theme once in a while. This also allows me to put more focus on design. Now that I’ve got this theme to work with, I can continually create new stylesheets for it without having to create an entirely new theme.
Mostly, I just want to see where this project goes. I’ve been working on it non-stop for two weeks, trying to get things to work correctly. I just had to make myself stop and finally release the theme. It’s not complete by far, but that’s the beauty of the Options theme. It will never be complete because I want to continue updating its functionality and adding new styles.
I really want to push the community-driven aspect of this theme through the forums. There’s so much that’s possible with the theme that a community could be built around it.
Now, I know quite a few people have been waiting on this theme for almost a week now. Well, here it is! Let’s go bug hunting and see what else we can come up with for the theme.
Pages: 1 2
Wow, this theme is great! You have also done so much work with your documentation it is amazing
Thank you for sharing.
Leanne King
Thanks. The documentation isn’t nearly complete either. There’s so much left to add to it. I’ll just have to do a little bit more each day.
Can’t wait to give this thing a closer look! Thanks Justin!
Justin, this is a great theme. Thank you. You will need to set an area aside to show off all the customizations people make. I think it’s going to be one of WP’s most popular.
Fantastic. Can’t wait to install it. Thanks, Justin.
Noah H.
No problem. It needs to be looked at thoroughly. I’m sure there are plenty of kinks that need to be worked out of the system.
Neil MacLean
I’ve already thought of that. With the available custom stylesheets, users can do a lot of customizing on their own without touching the core files.
That’s actually my goal for this project — completely take the user away from editing any core files. It’ll be a while before I get there, with many updates along the way, but I do want to make it to that point.
Sharon Hurley Hall
Please try it out and come back and report all the bugs at the support forums, so we can make the theme even better.
Great Work Justin – Your work is getting extraordinary day by day. No doubt it is the “Super Theme” for Wordpress & amazingly FREE. Keep up the good work.
Impressive work, Justin! Very clean, very flexible and I love the addition of breadcrumb navigation.
And is it just me or is Options a bit more “responsive” than Structure? I’ve wondered how all the conditional statements needed to make all of this work might impact site loading. But in running through Options a bit this morning, it does seem quicker.
Also, I’d like to second Neil MacLean’s suggestion for an Options showcase. I expect a lot of very cool sites built on it.
Finally, thank you for sharing Options with us!
ant560
Thanks. I only hope to continue improving this theme.
ririzarry
Luckily, PHP is a very fast language, but I did clean up some of the code for this theme. I made a few functions out of code that was being used over and over. The next few updates will have some improvements on this too.
I think a lot of the load time is going to be up to the user. If, they decide to use every tabbed home section available and the features gallery, then it could definitely slow down things.
I almost took away one or two of the five home layout sections because I was worried that users would totally abuse it by using too much of the heavier stuff.
The showcase will definitely be put up when I see some new designs rolling in.
Congratulations on your new theme release. It is truly state-of-the-art WordPress theme design. Thank you for adding it to wpthemez and linking to it on this page. Structure is far and away the number one theme on my site, but now it will have a challenger. Thank you for “getting it”.
Really Great WP Theme out! Thank you so much Justin! Well done!
I never thought I’d see images from my own neighbourhod as the first post on one of your theme demos :s
I love the slideshow feature, though.
Oh. My. God.
You are genius, Justin.
Congrats Justin a great theme. i have a problem with the Featureds Gallery . i put it like in the demo but don’t show me any images .. only text somebody can help :p Sorry 4 my bad english
skarld
Let’s see if I can top my last theme’s numbers.
Mblogger
Thanks. I’ll be adding a Structure port sometime in the future if you ever want to switch over.
Iva
Honestly, I just liked the image. It really stood out and fit in perfectly with the theme. Plus, I figured somebody’s always blaming the U.S. for something (they’re probably right in doing so).
brainsolid
Thanks. You’re not the first person to tell me that either.
IonGking
Please ask all your support questions over at the support forums.
The problem you’re having is that you haven’t given an image URL to the Value of a custom field Key named “Feature Full” or “Feature Image.”
Stunningly beautiful! You’ve done it again. I can’t believe how customizable this theme already is and from I gather is even more going to be. I’ll just have to find a space to put this awesome theme.
Justin Just sent you a donation
~Christine
You’ve done a amazing job again Justin! Gonna try this theme out for sure and will give some feedback.
Fantastic template, Justin! Simple, clean….powerful. ‘Stumbled’ it for sure.
Absolutely brilliant! This theme is definitely going to create quite a stir. Well done Justin.
Thanks Justin good theme
Thanks for releasing. You’ve done it again. I think options is even far better than any released wordpress premium themes on the web.
Excellent Justin!
Great work, as usual!
Sorry, but I have to ask this tough question. Is Brian Gardners Revolution Pro theme inspiration to you, or lack of creativity? Sure, you may have added that flashy thingy in the content and all that jazz, but are you trying to prove that you can have a theme that is as wicked as the ones produced by Brian Gardner but without having to pay a hefty fee?
DeFries
The theme will definitely come with more customizations in future releases. Let me know when you find a home for it.
Christine
Thanks. It’s much appreciated.
Dennis
I could definitely do with some feedback on what needs improvement and such. It would help in the development of the theme in the future.
Cody
Thanks for the Stumble.
PremiumWP
I think it’s already causing a bit of a stir. See comment #30.
het
Thanks. I only hope I can continue improving upon it, cutting out useless code, and pushing the system.
amalik
Thanks, but there are some themes I consider a bit better. I’m still working to top theme though.
Jeffro2pt0
I’m just developing WordPress themes and giving back to the WordPress community.
Oh. As I can see, you forget to add style for [blocquote] tag in options css
Justin, again you did it! Great theme, beyond my imagination! This is far better than the popular premium themes. Thanks a lot.
And something wrong with search page, if there is no posts that becoming your request.
Thanks so much! I’ve got my installation up and running and it works splendidly. Found only one minor glitch, which I’ll post in the forum.
Really love you new magazine WP theme, I guess I’ll update my site to your new theme. Thanks for making it public
Hi, Haobam
Nice site! Will you share us how to get slide show and youtube video on the home page to work?
awesome! thank you for sharing it! it’s EXACTLY what i’ve been looking for.
Sorry, I misunderstood Haobam for Josh Braun.
Hey Ket,
Thanks! Your question is probably best reserved for Justin’s troubleshooting forum. Suffice to say here that there is documentation availableon his site. If you have more questions after looking at the “manual,” post to the forum and I’ll share more about what I’ve done on my site.
Brainsolid
Thanks for mentioning the blockquote. It’ll be updated sometime during the beta run. Version 1.0.1 fixed the search page problem.
EarnBlogger
Thanks. I’m glad you like it.
Josh
Thanks for the compliments. I’ll look into the glitch.
Haobam
Thanks. Let me know when/if you update your site.
I do want to point out that while I’m somewhat promoting this as a magazine theme, there are plenty of options and more that will be added to promote this theme as a “catch-all” type of theme, something you can use on any type of site run by WordPress.
Ket
Stop by the forums if you’re having trouble.
how do i change the “options theme; what wordpress themes should look like” to say my blog title?
btw, amazing theme! i don’t know how the super theme could outdo this, but it’s amazing
very nice.
josh, the “Options Theme” title is an image file. Go into styles/dark/images and replace header-dark.gif with your own image file (of the same proportions and title) giving the name of your blog. Also, better to ask this sort of thing in the forum . Also, take a look at the manual.
Amazing Themes !!!
Totally wipe out wordpress premium themes.
Incredible.. I’ve just got all what I wanted.. Thanks a lot Justin.. This will surely take Wordpress to new heights..
With lods of hard work, I customized Structure and made it quite equivalent to Options, but getting all this in one pack is really pleasing.
Keep it up and good luck
Will like to contribute in this work in future..
Thanks for a great theme! I Noticed you visited today
It’s hard to make it unique though apart from changing the header there’s nothing you have to customize 
nice work men
but it doesnt work with wordtube plugin, nextgen gallery
Justin, can you tell (when it will be fixed) what files I must update to fix the search page problem? Becouse I Do some changes and translations in your theme and it will be very inconveniently to update ALL files.
Justin,
This is just THE BEST. I can translate the theme to Portuguese, if you want.
Congrats!
Hello, I am a Japanese User.
I like your theme ‘Options’ very much.
This is the best I’ve ever seen.
Thank you very much.
wow………………………… nice
So beautiful, but unfortunately also too complicated for those of us who are not coding experts. It needs its own instruction manual, because even with the support boards, there’s just too much that a user has to do to optimize this theme.
Justin, one of the things I would like with your designs is the ability to easily change the header, without the use of photoshop.
In any case, you make me wish I wasn’t just a writer but a coding expert. This theme is so rich and elegant, but one needs advanced knowledge.
Amazing work! I am currently translating this theme into Turkish and creating new .mo and .po files, which I will send you by tomorrow or so. Thanks, thanks, thanks…
A problem with the light style Options theme:
In Options Theme Settings, we have to define Categories by the name of Category Slugs. However, Category titles/tabs in my homepage read as Category Slug names instead of Category names. If I use Category names, then PHPs does not work correctly. For example, when I use Category names in Category boxes in Options Theme Settings, then my homepage lists only Category names in tabs, but not the excerpts on the side.
Wow, That’s Great!!!
I Will Translate into Vietnamese when I Have Time
Downloaded, I cannot wait for the weekend so I can test drive this gem!
Can you conver this Template to Blogger Template ?
Could you give me a tip on the layout you use in the demo? What a wonderful theme! Thanks so much.
hi great site great theme…
I have started to tweak it a bit, not sure were I will go with it, but I have to say its been fun..here is my site.
http://www.princerupertnews.com
Wow. I’m way behind on catching up with comments. First, I’d like to say thanks to everyone that’s taken the time to stop by.
Josh
Stop by the forums. There are plenty of helpful advice topics over there.
m
Thanks.
km
I’m sure there’ll still be premium themes. Some of them might have to rethink their current strategies. Maybe it’ll keep them developing new things, being innovative, which helps the WordPress community in return.
Nitin
Please do contribute. Plus, look out for some Structure updates in the near future. I’ll definitely be updating its ease of use.
Roger
Thanks for using the theme. I did stop by and enjoyed your site.
aehm2k5
I’ll check those plugins out as soon as I get a chance and see what I can do about them.
brainsolid
The theme is still in beta and many files will continually be updated over time. I will try to keep up with the changes, especially after the official release.
Instead of translating within the theme files, you should just create the proper .mo and .po files. The theme was set up to handle this for this very reason — the goal is to keep users away from ever opening the theme files othe than stylesheets.
Paulo Polzonoff Jr
I’d love to add the Portugues translation.
Marie Yuzuki
Thanks for using the theme. Your stylesheet modifications are still some of the best I’ve seen.
Jane
Using themes like this definitely require a bit of work on the user’s side because a site can never look great by just putting a template over it. The biggest thing you have to do is learn how to use custom fields, which doesn’t have that high of a learning curve.
You definitely don’t need PhotoShop to change the header, but if you want it personalized, it’s just something that the user will have to take care of with any theme.
Serkan
Thanks. Someone has already sent me the Turkish translation, which is now available for download. You can definitely contribute though by making sure everything’s in order since I don’t read Turkish.
viettut
I’d love to add Vietnamese to the now growing list of translations. Just contact me if you want to do it.
Rori
Thanks. Let me know how it goes.
VietNam-Blogger
No, it’s not meant to be converted to Blogger.
Carol
I’m constantly changing up the layout on the demo, so I don’t know which layout you’re referring to. Just stop by the forums, and we’ll help you set it up any way you like.
astrothug
Just test anything and everything out until you find something that suits you. That’s half the fun anyway!
It’s a very nice wp theme!
Are the forums down? I’ve been getting 404 not found for days now.
This theme is really great and it kept me away from sleep last night, which is a GOOD sign in this case
.
On my “sideblog” , I changed the frontend and apart from a new CSS and a german translation, all went well and was fun.
Thx for this great piece of work.
Roland
salute!
omg
probably your the “best” web-designer!
this theme is nice nice nice nice x10000!!
thank’s a lot for this professional work
What a great theme. Many thanks for this and keep up the good work.
These theme is very wonderful. But i’m french and i don’t speak fluently english. Please, can you translate these theme in french and translate your tutorial ? You are the best, please do it. Thank you very much.
I love this style of theme!
But how would I ever get enough content to fill a news/magazine style??
Without a doubt the best WordPress theme I have ever seen! Great job!
Justin, your option theme is very2 awesome!
Wondering why your talent offer in a free basis like this…
RedMoze
Thanks.
ctutt
The forums are working. Clear your browser’s cache or cookies. Maybe that’ll help.
Roland
Very cool design. I’ve already bookmarked it for my showcase.
Jared
Thanks. I suppose I should salute you also.
cripo
I’m sure I’m not the “best” designer, but I try. Thanks for the compliments.
monkeynuts
Feel free to use the theme and be looking out for updates.
filipe
I hope to have a French translation up at some point. Since I speak very little French myself, it would be nearly impossible for me to translate the tutorial though.
Bob Marconi
Thanks. As I’ve said many times, this isn’t just a news/magazine theme. You can use the theme for any type of blog you want.
Alex
Thank you. And thanks for using the Structure theme. I have big plans for it too.
Hning
One of the great things about offering free content is that I get a lot of offers for custom design jobs. So, it promotes my design business.
I love this theme! It is by far the best one I have come across. I did modify the .css and the associated images to create my own. Check it out at http://www.officeliveteam.com .
Regards,
Robert.
Damn you for releasing this theme late and making me pay $79 for a magazine style looking theme. Though I tried Structure, but that theme seemd better. This is awesome. The theme I used @ http://shapealife.org
This is the best Wordpress template I have ever seen. Well done.
Love IT!!!!!!! Amazing. Thanks very much. When I get the time to download and install, I will send you a link to the site I am planning on using this for. First of many, I hope!
Thank you so much for this awesome theme!!!
I noticed a bug in Internet Explorer 6: the last word or symbol of a list is sometimes doubled in the following line (see this picture ), but I can’t see it in the html! How can we fix this bug?
Fran
sorry, here is the picture: IE bug.
Wow Justin, you have done a GREAT work this time too!
I have translated the .po and .mo files into my language but I see that not every word stands in these files so something have to be done directly in the files.. E.g the Sidebar Tabs.. How can I translate them?
And again, a very nice theme! Thanks
Great work, great theme… but somehow the color of the links doesnt seem to match with the background
Great theme,
I want to show it like the way it is in your Live Demo. Can you please tell me your configurations?
Many thanx!
Regards
Wow, this is really nice. I use one of your other themes right now but am considering a slightly different look. I think Options is just what I was looking for!
Robert
Great work on the modifications.
African Boy
Well, stick around. There’ll be plenty more options to go with in the future.
Wayne
Thanks.
Lisa
Send that link over whenever you get it up and running. I’d love to see how you’re using it.
Fran
There are still some bugs that need to be worked out because the theme is a beta release. You can always post problems you find in the forums.
Joakim Kristiansen
I’m working on getting things better with the translation files. Right now, some things, such as the tabs, rely heavily on being in English. This is something I’m working around for the next release though.
argon
You can always change the link colors if you prefer another color.
uwe
Check out the forum topic default settings. Of course, I change things around sometimes to mix things up a bit.
m
Thanks. I’m thinking of releasing a Structure theme style in a future release, so if you like that type of layout, you’ll be able to easily change.
Great Theme!
Great Job!
Thank you so much Justin!
Wonderful theme there Justin.
I appreciate your work and kindness in releasing it for Free.
I am using it on my blog and it has changed the way wordpress blogs functioned.
Thanks so much
Nice Template
Can you conver this template to WP template ?
Justin, You are the man.
After I downloaded the Structure theme I almost for got your site. I happened to visit it today and found this excellent Option theme. Thanks for your kindness in releasing this theme for free. I am grateful to you.
Hi, liked the theme and tried it on my local server (easyPHP). However, I get an error towards the bottom as ‘Call to undefined function: wp_reset_query()in d:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\options\includes\feature.php on line 51′ Cud someone please help me understand what it is and how to solve the issue?
pitircik
Thanks. Let me know if you decide to use it.
Dr. Syed
You’re welcome. Just wait until the official release comes out. You won’t be disappointed.
VietNam-Blogger
This is a WP template.
TechieZone
You should never forget about my site.
Keep updated by subscribing to the feed for new releases of the theme. It’ll be updated very soon.

Please ask support questions on the forums.
However, for your problem, make sure you’ve got WordPress 2.3 or above as mentioned in the requirements at the top of the page.
Hello, I have a question about the options theme – I have installed it properly – http://www.highlysensitivearts.com – but I would like to have the `comments`-option, at the end of my post, and not at the beginning, right under the title.
This way, I believe more people will comment on the post – how is this possible?
Or even the possibility to add the `comment` option in the beginning of the post (under the title), and at the end of the post.
That would really be great,
can someone help me out?
thanks,
Kindly,
Steven
Hi,
I’m thinking of using your great looking Options Theme on my site, and I had a go at translating it to Swedish. I have problems with the translation of the optional tabs in the sidebar (Latest, Popular, Archives etc). They seems to be hard coded somewear, and I can’t find them. Any ideas?
/olov
I did a German translation (Options Theme, deutsche Übersetzung) of Options. Feel free to grab your copy!
Hey there,
AMAZING theme mister!
This is one of the best Wordpress themes I have seen in a VERY long time!
Leigh
Thank you. I think it going to be one of most popular theme it builds the impression for the development.
The best Theme for WP “Options WordPress Theme” of the year 2008.
One of the best WP themes ever. It made my list of Themes That Don’t Suck! Check it out http://www.themesthatdontsuck.com
Is there a trick I’m missing to downloading this? When I try I’m taken to a 404 page not found. It looks like an absolutely fantastic theme and I’d love to try it out!
Ron
I’ve had some WP upgrade woes. The download should be back up shortly.
This theme seams to break Wordpress 2.5, works again when I revert to default theme.
Matt
This theme has been tested on WordPress 2.5 for weeks. If you’re having trouble with the theme, then stop by the forums.
i m getting this error when i try to activate plugin.
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
i m getting an error message when i try to activate the populartiy contest plugin .
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
where is the problem ?
I didn’t create the Popularity Contest plugin. Ask the plugin author. Also, please don’t ask support questions of any kind here. Ask them on the forums.
Currently getting an error when trying to download the theme.

I’ve been fiddling with the .htaccess file. It should be back up now.
Hello,
“unless you’ve purchased Credit Removal (email me for details on removing credits”
Can you send me those details please?
Love this theme…I dont really use it for all its worth to tell you the truth, i just it pretty much just as a basic blog setup like every other theme…But i love the dark colors and the setup in the way that i use it (using it on a test site at the moment)…
Some questions though….
1 – Is there anyway to add the category or atleast just the tags of the posts on the main index page…I am just using the full post feature and i noticed it includes the more link but does not includes the actual category in which the post is posted in or the tags…It does in the single post view but i would also like to include them on the main pages, search pages, archive pages…Reason being, viewers may click a tag on the index pag they are interested in, but they wont be able to do that if its not there…the post may not interest them enough to go deeper but they may see that tag and go for it…
2 – Is there anyway to change the location of your copyright info…If its even allowed…I am of course keeping it, no doubt about that, but i would like to position it differently to flow a lil better possibly…just an idea
3 – Is there anyway you could help me include a 728 x 90 or whatever it is adsense banner to the right of the sites logo? I know how to resize my header image and how to position it but im not quite sure how to position an adsense banner to the right of it…I am willing to ditch the RSS links up there to insert a banner for advertising..
4 – Is there any way NOT to include pages in the navigation…I will have a lot of pages, and i do not want all of them displayed within the navigation…I will be including links to them on my sidebar cause i want to avoid a cluttered nav bar.
Wow, its a impressive Theme. So complexe! We love it. But is there an way to display theTrackbacklink of an Article?
Hi, Justin…
I want to know, can I make some improvement to your themes? I will add more categories since your tabbed category only limited to 8. I need more tabbed categories for one of my site.
I’m waiting your reply. Thank you.
ideal version for this, as photo galleries are now supposed to be a standard feature. As well, the Options theme, by Justin Tadlock also seemed like a good choice, as it too has a pretty slick featured
I think you have a bug in the latest download. When I set the theme to “Light”, and changed the sidebar placement to “Left”, and the sidebar is still displaying on the right side. Could you please check? Thanks.
Is there this theme for portuguese language? I think it´s the best theme I´ve ever seen but my english is not so good.
Thanks Tadlock
Very nice theme, I think this theme is suitable for sports blogs. I will try to use to my sport blogs http://www.madnessfans.com
Thanks for share
Hi there! I love your theme, and using it on my site. But i have a question…
Will you make it whit 2 sidebars anytime soon? I´m that kind of a person who like´s 3 cols at least… =)
And another question… Are you gonna make more colorstyles? Or maby a linkpage to people that make some layouts that thay shared?
Sorry for my bad english…
amazing theme!!
i never imagine how it could be fantastic and fully function

The theme is for any language. There’s not a translation for Portuguese yet, but you can get involved in the translation process over in the forums.
Jayce
Let me know when you get everything set up, so I can stop by and see.
Karin
Options will probably never have two sidebars. There’s so many different things to style and code for right now, that it’d just add a lot more bloat to the theme.
I’ll continue to update with color styles over time. Some people are already sharing styles over in the forums.
Jaxter
Thanks.
it s great theme. thanks.
Thanks for the theme. Its awesome!
Great Theme. Thank you so much Justin! Well done!

Hi there, anyone know how to edit the text “Home” in the Home-tab? I have to translate it since I’m building a Danish site. I’ve been through alle the files in the Options theme – can’t find it anywhere… Thanks =)Anja
Oops, sorry, it’s not a tab, it’s just first link in the main navigation. You know.
Anja:
Check the forum – There is a danish translation there
Options forum
Please, I installed WP 2.6 and my Options Theme is for WP 2.5. And by this, my feature galery and my feature images don’t show more.
I saw that yout made a version of Options Theme for WP 2.6, but I had costumized my Options Theme, and gived me very work to do this. I want know if have how I upgrade my Options Theme without losing my costumization? Or I have to make a downgrade in my WP?
Thank’s!!
Ps.: I’m from Brazil, and I don’t speak english very good. =D
I am using it on my blog. I like it so much. Thanks a lot.
My best congratulations! Not only for the theme (simply perfect!) but for the quality of the support and documentation!
Luca
I am using it on my blog. I like it so much. Thanks a lot.
You do the best job.
It’s brilliant！
Forget about my previous post – I just discovered .po files. Yeay, brilliant! Now I can translate everything!
Has anyone figured out why the post list tab on the front page doesn’t display thumbnails from posts with imported images, f.eks. from a Google webalbum with goldengate? I looked at the php in get-the-image.php and post-list-tabs.php but I aint that sharp when it comes to php. Can’t fix it myself…
Anja
Feel free to stop by the forums here if you need help with anything. The image script isn’t supposed to pull external images, only internal ones.
And, as kookekniven mentioned, there’s a Danish translation there. I don’t think I’ve added it to the language pack yet though.
sanjay
Thanks. Feel free to stop by if you need help setting it up.

Read this post on upgrades.
Also, stop by the forums whenever you have questions about the theme. You’ll get a much quicker response.

Hi Justin should I ever bump into you in a pub there’s a lot of pints waiting for you! Fantastic work!
I’m having problems with 404.php it’s just displaying code / text.
try it
the page shows
Also if for the options homepage how would I display a different title for the homepage and one for all other posts?
something like this?
Hope you find sometime to get some sleep in between all your work,
Huge thanks
Jules
these themes are beautiful
cool theme going to be using it soon.
Hi,
The theme is very good. But I need some changes. Please can you help me. please.
1) For the post experts I just need the header. No content is required. How can I do that. But an image has to be shown.
2) The images for the posts on the home page should be alternate left and right.
3) How can i add a three column footer for it?
Hi, everything is fine with the CSS except that the pictures and text are not well formatted inside the post.
Becoz, if the same post is viewd in another theme, everything is well, while in options the picture border touches the letters in paragraph.
Please get some time to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Natesh
Thanks for using the theme.

Please ask questions in the support forums.

I think what you mean to say is that you haven’t formatted pictures and text well inside the post.
If you have support questions, stop by the forum. Otherwise, the “issue” will never be resolved.
thanks good theme
HI, i have a problem installing the theme. I downloaded it and extracted it to my themes folder, and i only have one options in there, but when i upload and install with wordpress it only shows letters with no theme or graphics in it. I didnt change anything, i just extracted, and put it in my themes folder and uploaded it to wordpress, and when I turn it on it doesnt do anything. Please help as soon as you can, I am really interested in the theme and it looks like it is one of the best ones around for what I’m trying to do. Thanks for making it free and thanks in advance.

Love the new theme, just put it in place (with some modifications of course) and can’t wait to get enough content on my blog to start using the feature gallery and other options.
Great work as usual on the themes. Keep it up!
I am your classic newbie. I need help in finding the area of my website to write the html code for the Features Galley and the Smooth Gallery for my website. Like I said, I am a newbie. I love your Option Theme, especially the Features Gallery …. makes my site look cool. Thank you.
hey Justin,
have a closer look at this: http://wangenweb.com/wordpreciousss/ it could be really great used in conjunction with this theme. It takes the user even further away from PHP files
Otherwise thx for the great theme.
The great theme, and I got it for my blog. Thank you.
I tried but it looks like its down for now….. I’ll try uploading it again, maybe that does something
Well done Justin!

I’ve already told you to stop by the support forums if you need help. This theme is offered and supported on my other site: Theme Hybrid.
Thanks for the fantastic theme make available for wordpress users!
Dear Justin,
There is one thing that I want to say..
“YOUR THEME ROCKS!!”
As the tagline says, I agree that every WP templates should be like this! I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s sure a great theme. Thanks a lot for making this theme.. and providing it for free.
Your web site is really nice if we think the others
I think you had worked about that web site, hardly.
Like I see. Thank you for information tht i get.
MUy buen theme ,habría que probarlo pero pinta perfecto.
That’s my favorite!
Flickr streams and video sections make this the most customizable theme in our list.
thanks man. nice themes
I like this, not sure if it is right for my football blog but I have many blogs and I’m sure I can find one that will suit it.
Great works!
Thanks a lot Justin..

Its a great theme for my new upcoming site.
Thanks for this.

awesome features. keep up the good work. i am thinking about trying it soon.
[...] Options The generic title is a huge understatement with regard to the number of features and options that are easily changeable on this theme. Included are three different stylesheets, each with a different color scheme, and five ‘sections’ on the main home page which are based on the specific post’s author, tags and categories. Tag clouds, Flickr streams and video sections make this the most customizable theme in our list. [...]
Hi,
I love your Options theme and I am running it on a WPMu site. Just one problem I’m having is when I set the blog to display latest posts on the front page, I get the ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’ message. I switched to another theme and the posts show up. I’m running WPMu 1.5.5 and WP 2.5.1. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks a lot.
Russ
thanks!!
I will use this this template in my new website.. I like this one..

hey, just a heads up, your wonderful theme breaks a little bit in wp 2.7 beta 1. The only thing that seems wrong is that the right sidebar shows up below the main blog content. great theme. thanks.
Yet the sidebar dropping has nothing to do with the version of WordPress used and everything to do with invalid XHTML.
look great. thanks for your effort.
very nice theme! perhaps i will need it for one of my projects…thank you
Very Nice Theme.Thank you Justin.
very nice theme, i’ll try use it someday…
I like It,Thaks.
what happen with index.php?
why it only contains “?
Nothing happened to
index.php. It’s empty to help secure your site.Then, what should I do if I want to edit index.php?
Do you any other page to replace index.php?
Thanks Justin for your reply.
You are such generous person, Justin.
The download link is broken, well it doesn’t work from this end.
Thank you

That’s why it never hurts to actually read.
Great Work Justin – Your work is getting extraordinary day by day. Perhaps i will need need this “options Theme” for one of my projects…thank you No doubt it is the “Super Theme” for Wordpress & amazingly FREE. Keep up the good work.
This theme is excellent, but I cannot install it. Every time when I upload that theme on my server, it shows me in wordpress Dashboard-Presentation (…) thumbnail of it, and when I want to activate theme it show me this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_enqueue_style() in /usr/export/www/hosting/uzados/wordpress/wp-content/themes/options/library/settings/theme-settings.php on line 21
What to do???

Thanks, Justin. Nice Theme.
Wow, Brilliant theme, i hv been using so many themes on my blogs, but this one suits perfectly for my blogs. Thanks Justin for putting up such quality work.
Great theme, and most of all its free to use, thank you so much justin.
My comment is being edited because I didn’t read directions from the site the theme is located on.
Thanks a lot, Justin.
The documentation is A++
Hey thats perfect. but how can ı design it for Blogger?

nice theme.. but i am difficult to make a home link.. can you help me?
Blogger temalari — No, you may not port it to Blogger.
Fadli — There was a WordPress 2.6-compatible version out for months. You should’ve downloaded it when it was available.
WhatNewsToday — Please ask all support questions on the theme’s support forums.
Hi,
Very nice theme. But i m not able to download.
Can u give me download link.
Hey Justin! I see that your theme is no longer available on themehybrid. I’ve seen several sites I admire using it. Would you be able to make it available privately? I am currently using WP 2.7. If so, please email me with a price. Thanks for doing such great work.
Cheers

This is one of the better looking blog themes I have seen. Great Job!

It’s a shame this theme’s no longer available. I’d love to download it and use it but I can’t find the place where I can now download it from.

To everyone: This theme is no longer available for download. Please don’t ask where you can download it because you can’t.
The options theme is fantastic. It’s a pity that the options theme is no longer available for download. I´m using it in my blog, even though its no longer supported
People that are asking for options theme you all should turn over to Hybrid, this theme in my opinion builds upon options well coded backend and from what I understand is completely written from the ground up… Child themes are still possible and It also comes with hooks, which options lacked, this is what makes Hybrid stand above the rest. And to boot, better coded and supported than most of the premium themes on the market, stop looking for options and jump on board the Hybrid train, you will not look back with all the diversity and customizations that it comes with out of the box..
Go get it now http://themehybrid.com/
No longer.Not find on hybrid.com
always on the lookout for good themes for WordPress. Options looks like a good one. The theme’s creator, Justin, has some good stuff on his site if you are a WordPress
Are these themes compatible to w3?
“It is no longer available for download?” Can i use the 1.3 from the archive?
thanks
good works
Wow!! I just saw this theme over at Ron Paul’s website: http://www.RonPaul.com
I’m grabbing it for myself now.
Way to go dude.
Thanks for this wonderful Theme.
I think, i change in the next time my theme and replace it with yours
really good work
I’ve downloaded the theme, but there are no templates, or the folders you describe in the beginning of the tutorial. How can I get the complete download? Thanks
From what I read so far and the screen shots. Seems like a great template but it’s too bad it’s discontinued now. Any change you’ll update it and release it?
Fantastic template! Simple, clean….powerful
Hi Justin where is the download link when I landed to the page it says the theme is been discontinued. It is no longer available for download can you re upload it because I do like the design & it’s a style that I am looking for
Please helpppp
Please help. I would like to list the categories and tags in two columns. How can I do? What Should I include code in category.php and tag.php file?
two columns example

Wow – pretty cool theme. Thanx…

The archive themes dont work anymore is there anywhere I can still get this?
I am trilled with this, this not a new one any more, but I still like it and am using it right now, btw always nice to find very cool themes! (not that easy to find one for me personally)
@Darkhunter139 : “This theme has been discontinued. It is no longer available for download.” I thinks it’s pretty clear
One of the original best wordpress themes introduced.
… the download link, can i get it? i wanna try this nice theme.
Hi Justin! Thank you for your great WP theme and the free download
Best regards and merry christmas!
Is there a language file (.po .mo) in the theme? Or advises how change language?
Hi, Justin!
I know, that you not support Options anymore, but i really like this theme. Can i download last version somehow?
Why? I know, that you not support Options anymore, but i really like this theme. Can i download last version somehow?
Hi Justin,
this theme is really great. is it possible to get it or to download the last version. I hope so much.. perhaps it is possible to contact me via email. thx & best tom
“great work”
well, thank you so much for this theme Justin.
It’s a shame this theme’s no longer available. I’d love to download it and use it but I can’t find the place where I can now download it from.
I’m not so sure that this would be a great choice for a new website. I’ve been asked to troubleshoot a website that’s using this theme with WP 3.3.1, and there are some issues.
