Similar to the updated Grid Focus release, The Unstandard theme was dropped into TextMate for a little WordPress 2.7 feature support. The Unstandard and Grid Focus now both share the stripped down imageless base for designers or developers to build upon.
- Zero theme images. More opportunity for unique customizations.
- Nested comments for WordPress 2.7 with site admin author highlighting.
- Three widget zones – single post, index, and persistent footer elements.
- Remains backward compatible with WordPress 2.5 / 2.6 (legacy comments file).

Hi derek
Still hoping to hear from you regarding the header image issue. Hope you can shed some light. Thanks
You can replace the header text with an image using two different methods. One is to remove the <h1> tags completely, and replace it instead with an actual image <img src=”http://your.domain.com/image.jpg” alt=”Something to render if the image is missing” /> OR experiment with something like: http://css-tricks.com/rethinking-css-image-replacement/
Hello Derek,
I tried to replace the header text by using your method : replacing "<a href="/" title="Home"></a>" in header.php by (with a correct url for the picture, of course), but it just keep writing “Something” and I can’t see my image.
Did I misunderstand something ?
Thanks a lot, great theme by the way.
Please read about HTML for inserting images: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_IMG.asp
Thank for your reply !
Though, seems like I was not clear enough, sorry.
This is what I have written in my header.php :
<!– <a href="/” title=”Home”> –!>
I think this is he correct way to insert an image in HTML, isn’t it ?
Yet, on my blog I see only “Berk” written…
Ok, now I understand why my message seemed strange, because of code interpretation by wordpress…
This is the code I wrote in my header.php :

Hello. First off GREAT theme.
I have been having tons of trouble getting this done:
When you click a category, I’m trying to make the small lead image show, ALONG with the EXCERPT and title. I’d like the small lead image floating to the left, the title to the right, and the excerpt underneath the title……….and I’d like all the posts in the category to show like this, separated perhaps by horizontal lines.
I have a category driven site and I think this would help others who would like more than just small pictures/titles to show up upon clicking a category.
If anyone can help, please let me know! Thanks!
Very Nice theme. I use it on my website and done it work very nice. the new update is wonderful and fixed the problem whit the next and previous buttons, thanks for that.
An Image re sizer would be nice for the next update (so that you only have to enter the path of the lead_image and the theme re sizes it to a secondary_image but still make it look nice. Its litle bit stretched right now).
This is an awesome clean design.
Punsalan sounds filipino. u filipino?
anyways, my question is, can the images on the MAIN page point to only a specific category of posts? i would like to have posts for a portfolio displayed in the photos on main, and just have recent blog posts via widget or something.
k thanks.

Its a website about Ben Harper
check: http://benharper.fr
Is there a way to replace the “comments” box on the upper right of the post thumbnails with the date of each post?
Thanks,
JT
Open index.php and replace:
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>
with this:
<?php the_time('M jS Y') ?>
The stylesheet will need to be tweaked a little bit since you’re replacing a anchor tag with plain text.
Is it possible to use the image as link to page and not blog posts ?
It also seems as my pages are not appearing as items in the top right menu bar. an idea what could be wrong ?
hey, is there a way to add a background image and move the sidebar to the left?
thanks,

Hi, Derek

Thanks!!!!!
O am having quite a nightmare with the image having changed over, but just is bad it the fact I already had an about and services page in my old blog yet they do not connectect with you menu system?? huge page to change over to this theme its seems
Not really a pain to move to this theme. All you need to do is open header.php and add the URL’s for the two pages you ave already created. I’ll add a drop down menu for all pages to the todo list for a future release.
Hi Derek,
Having trouble keeping the main-nav in line when i add more pages.
Any chance you can help?
Thanks
Set a width on #nav for your navigation.
sorry you mean in
thanks
<ul id="main-nav" class="right">
What is the URL? I visited http://www.fontsoup.com/ which is why I recommended setting a width on #nav.
sorry disabled theme while i fixed it, its now active
You’ll need to make two changes because of the latest theme update. First, you’ll need to change or remove the width from #site-name. The width is set there in case a user decides to add a custom header image. I used that to constrain that side of the header from bleeding off into the right side. The second change will be to #nav-container. Right now the theme is setup like so (did not include the other rules):
#site-name { width: 595px; }
#nav-container { width: 340px; }
You’ll want to use something like:
#site-name { width: 480px; }
#nav-container { width: 474px; }
thanks Derek I am very grateful.
Hi Derek,

I cant seem to change the text style, when I change the ‘format’ in a wordpress post it doesnt change the font or style.
Thanks
Is there a way to add a left sidebar?
I’ve edited functions and it shows up on the widgets page.
I edited sidebar but the new sidebar doesn’t show up on the left, but at the bottom of the “Main” sidebar…any help with this matter would be appreciated.
Hi there! first, thank for a great theme. I do have a small problem though: I’m trying to change the number of posts showing in the main page, and have a different number of posts showing in the archives. I’ve tried everything…. about three plugins, tried to change it manually through the wordpress dashboard, and nothing. Help?
Thanks!
Hi dear, my blog is running wordpress theme The Unstandard, your theme. It’s great! But, all my pic, image, is location flickr. Images in my blog is distorce, what resolve this?
You can help me?
PS.: I’m sorry, i’m from Brazil and a little english.
=/
The timthumb script does not work with externally hosted images. You can use Flickr – just without the auto resizing and cropping. Try disabling and using the direct URI for each image in the custom fields.
I am having trouble finishing up the site since my thumb nails are not showing up and the comments are not working. I tried going through the info on the Timthumb but I am still stuck. Added the custom fields to my post and all. Can somebody take a look and help me out. http://www.rocktheidea.com/blog
Thanks.
Hi Derek,
I’m delighted with the theme and really like using it (currently using Unstandard 1.1.3 and keen to stick with it).
I am struggling at the moment, however, with trackbacks. They are enabled on my end but when I try to make a link to another blog, it doesn’t seem to be working (they have also enabled trackbacks). Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I am now using this wonderful theme and working with it. However, one problem I am having is that when one clicks on the image and goes to the post page, the large image seems to overlap the right side bar.
My images are 593 px by 225 px. I have aligned them to the left. How do I fix this? Thanks very much for the theme.
I have solved the problem myself – just made the images less wide. I think I made them 519 pixels wide. Works wonderfully! Still love the theme!
