The Unstandard WordPress theme is released / shared with the intent of breaking the typical blog mold. Farewell to the blase reverse chronological text heavy front pages, and hello to visuals & imagery to lure visitors deeper into your website / blog. A WordPress theme comprised of a – grid aligned – images for forward facing pages, and clean textual presentation on the inner pages. Originally developed for personal use, and modified for release, I felt that an update to the WordPress themes made available on 5thirtyone.com was due.
I hope that the theme is enjoyed and will serve as the foundation for future WordPress driven blogs. Please read through the details below before downloading and installing.

hey derek,
awesome theme, i really really like it. but i have one tiny problem at the moment: how can i change the number of shown articles/pages on the front page? currently i have 10 and i’d like to have 7. i looked for hours in the code, but can’t find it anywhere.
i’m glad for any kind of help. thanks!
The number of posts is handled under Settings > Reading inside WordPress.
great theme, thanks for sharing it!
I have one question how do you edit the ‘Home – About – Subscribe’ section on top right corner?
all the best and thanks again
Very well done, however a internationalized version would be greatly appreciated!

Hiya,
Perfect theme! Totally love it.
I’m just too lazy to keep manually adding the lead_image and secondary_image custom fields. I wrote a small wordpress plugin that will automagically set these custom fields to a random image from the post. It uses ‘get_children’ so it will only work on images added through the upload function not on ‘soft-linked’ images…..
You can grab the installable plugin (he zip-file) from http://github.com/wizardofzos/hk-theUnstandard. You will also find the source code there…
Keep forking!
Pretty cool. Update will use the built-in WordPress thumbnail utility.
Hi,
I’m still having problems with the images in my frontpage. They’re simple not showing whatsoever! I even tried the Custom Field but I got nothing.
Can you please break it down into noob steps?
Thanks!!
Hey Derek, Not sure if you get these, but i had a question.
I just installed The Unstandard, it is my first time using wordpress and the theme is PERFECT for what i was looking for. but im having problems with the lead_image custom field. when i put a URL (like: http://mattklopot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_01581.jpg) into secondary_image, timthumb automatically crops and scales the image PERFECTLY, but, despite trying all day, i cannot get lead_image to show anything other than a bunch of plus signs, and when i go to the post, theres not even the plus signs, its just blank where the image should be.
i have NO clue what im doing wrong! HELP!!
my blog is at http://www.mattklopot.com
Hello, I am fairly new to blogging and this theme looks perfect to my blog. I downloaded the theme but how do you install it? Thank you!
(Please no hate for being a noob, I already know I am.)
Has anyone using The Unstandard upgraded to wordpress 3.0.1 yet? Does it still work?
