Neo-Sapien WordPress Theme

Download Neo-Sapien

Neo-Sapien screenshot

Neo-Sapien has been updated to version 0.6. The original release, with the Casshern movie-cover image, is no longer available. For version 0.6, I took out the movie cover and added a wrapper around all four columns to stop the last two columns from moving when you don’t have your browser maximized. Also, I replaced the hard-coded top links with wp_list_pages WordPress function.

Sanjay,

I’m glad you like my theme, but I don’t have time to do color change right now because I’m busy with other projects and am working on the fourth theme for release by this week.

no problems dude i’ve figured out most of it in the css file sheet just some im still working on but its all trial and error at the moment

davidrenfro:

I love the theme. Im noob so I’ve started a site and started logging my process if anyone is interested.

Great job man!!

Small Potato:

thanks :)

Djlethal01:

hey small potato, I love this theme, can you IM me on aim: Sports946, I can’t figure out how to shorten it, because it seems to have a lot of blank black space at the end. Thanks!

Djlethal01:

thanks for the help with the footer, one other thing can you im me about is how do I change the top tabs names and add more? Thanks!! Your themes are the best!

Small Potato:

Lethal,

I sent you another IM. If you still need help with the tabs, let me know. Thanks for the compliment!

nikos:

thanks for the help with the footer

Hello there!

Couldn’t this help with the footer be publicly available. I also need help on this.

Thank you. Great design.

Small Potato:

sure nikos.

go into the “style.css” file. find “narrowcolumn.” change the length of the padding. i think it’s anywhere from 600px - 1000 px. each 100px equals 1 inch.

Vivek:

I really liked your theme and I’m currently trying it out on my blog, http://www.singhvivek.com

I’ve changed the colors around a bit - blue is my favorite color. Hope you like the changes and don’t mind the blue :D

I might fiddle around a bit more with the colors and stuff but I’ll leave the layout untouched - I don’t know PHP anyway. The layout is what attracted me to the theme in the first place.

Hey Guys

Neo-sap is, as we all seem to agree, a great looking theme with an attitude and the new release 0.6 that fixes the in the previous version dropping right boxes has been on my wishlist since the beginning, how ever, what I don’t get is why you would wanna put page links on top of the main.jpg when they are allready presented in the left top column. If you have a little more than 4 pages, it totally ruins the middle column by pushing the main.jpg down ucking up the otherwise hardcore first impression.

Small Potato:

I actually saw what you’re talking. That’s because it was a mistake to generate the page links on top of the main.jpg image. I’ll fix that in the next version.

Hi Small Potato.

By the way, thanks for letting us “capitalize” on your hard work, you’re the best and thank you for replying on my comment. I’m looking forward to your next release. And might I add, I still like the ability to put links on top of the main.jpg as long they don’t drop the main.jpg or as you yourself got in to, not are page links. When you get around to it, I have a small request. Maybe you could make the buttons with editable text and let them come in the magic number of three.

I know beggars can’t be chooser, so I’m hoping that you find it to be a good idea.

Yours

Your theme is interesting. Yet I test it on my site.
I do not know yet if it will be adopted definitively.. To follow…

Hey, Very Nice job SP!
And I’ve been using your theme for my wine blog all alone.

But canyou tell me how can I add some code (actually WP-pagenavi)

http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php

I tried to put this into footer.php. But it is not in the right position. I wish it to be at the buttom of the page.(the black sqare footer)

So where do I put this code to??

You can put it in the posts_nav_link() area, in between the div and /div.

Thanx for your help, Now it’s working thanx

I love your theme, the only issue I’m having is when I try to use an image rotator plug in. The original main.jpg stays and behind it you can see the image that’s suppose to replace and rotate with other images.

Is there anyway to fix this or change it? I’m sure it something simple but I’m just missing it.

hahaha… GREAT JOB!!

look what i did to ur works..
to be more golden age

hope u don’t mind though…
anyway, i’m curious about what u said added a wrapper around all four columns to stop the last two columns from moving when you don’t have your browser maximized.

since i have putting stuffs on the theme, it will be a lot of works for me to upgrade with 0.6 and then back on editing it..

so could you tell me just exactly where u put the wrapping code?, so i can just put the new codes on my current modificated theme..

thx a lot bro..
it sure very uncommon and unique theme..

it shouldn’t affect your mods at all. don’t worry. the wrapper div is right after the body tag.

humm.. i think i got it…
it’s on .container and edited on style, header, and footer

right??

I think so, haven’t used this theme for a long time.

I agree with Propaganda.

In my site, I am and will use the pages for extra information. That means, it will push the middle coloumn more and more. Isn’t there any solution for this? I really like this theme, but I do not want the pages link to conquer my blog! :)

denizural,

the use of wp_list_pages in two different locations was a result of a request. i didn’t give it much thought at the time.

you can simply remove wp_list_pages from the middle column. use simply list-item and link tags instead.

Hi SP , thank for your work , you speak spanish ?

I need to know how can i upgrade from neo 0.5 to 0.6 , just whit the wordpress function ? or are something more to know.

Sorry , if you see the page i made some changes , i hope i can did.

No Max, I don’t speak spanish. 0.5 to 0.6 to easy. Just overwrite your theme files by uploading the 0.6.

I need help…

I love this theme and I’m new at working with wordpress.
the template looked very good on my Mac but on the PC, everything gets pushed to the next line.
not sure where to start to troubleshoot this, hopefully somebody on this page can shine some light.

thank you

What’s wrong with this blog?
http://www.fotocapsule.com/blog/

Are you posting directly from the WordPress admin panel? It doesn’t look like there’s anything wrong with your blog other than the fact that you purposely used BR tags in some of the posts to break up the sentence.

If you didn’t add the BR tags on your own then something is adding those tags.

i added the to make some space between lines… could that be the cause of looking different on the windows system? I am posting directly within the Wordpress admin panel….

on a PC, looks like my main section and the obar being pushed to the next paragraph below the sidebar.

I was talking about the text within the posts. If any column is being pushed, then something is stretching them (usually a big photo).

Validate your codes then fix each error until your page looks normal again.

i don’t know if this is the right place but I just wanted to thnk you for your great work. I loved that theme and it matched perfectly with the photo i wanted to put in the header. It’s just wonderful and I just wanted to say, thanks, thanks a lot.

PD: sorry for my englhis, it’s not my mother tongue so I could commit mistakes.

Great theme pal.. I am using it. Please see at http://www.japankaizen.com/blog/ and give an advice to make it better and :) adsense friendly … thank you

Sorry, 1 question, how can I get rid off the 0 mark after each blogroll?? I’m noob in this coding… Thank you..

I have no clue. What wordpress version are you using?

I’m using wordpress 2.2 .. Those 0s are annoying. However, like I said.. it is reat theme. That’s why I am using it. Thank you.

Sweet blog Kaizenhunter. I was thinking about using it, but now I definately am gonna use it.

Hi,
I want to add recent posts on the theme. How to do that? Can somebody tell me? I’ve tried widget, but since it is not widgetable theme, I don’t know how to add recent post manually at obar.php. Thank you.

The instructions on how to widgetize is here:
http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/

SP, any chance you might get the new version improvements up on Wordpress.com? I’m particularly interested in getting the wrapper work that you did to control the left columns since this is something can’t be modified if you’re using the theme on Wordpress.com –

This is the first theme I’ve truly enjoyed in a long, long time.

mel - Thanks for your compliment. Unfortunately, I have no control over what gets uploaded to WordPress.com. They make all the theme picks.

Thank you, SP. I moved to self hosting and all is much better now. Control … yummy.

any chance to get a widgetized version of this theme.

I get this message:

You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.

Dave - I stopped working on this theme for a long time now. However, it’s easy to widgetize it on your own.

I followed the steps to widgetize it but it would not work. I found your theme using a blog hosted on wordpress.com.

I used your theme there and when I went to the editor they had 3 colums for widgets. Works like a charm there.

How can I get the version they are using? Or any ideas on how to get the functions.php from their site?

That’s a modified version that I have no control over. You can try asking the WordPress.com guys.

Great work on this Blog. We used the Neosapien Theme and modiefied it to fit our needs. You can see the result on http://www.infantrie.ch. Thanks Small Potato for the Hardwork. As I can see you have been busy with many new Designs. For now I wish you nice weekend. Good to know that you still have Offline Stuff to do :) Greetings from Switzerland.

I use the v05 and it works very well ! :)

i really love thi theme and wanted to use it for a new blog. ( suonicollaterali.wordpress.com )
my eyes have a bit problems with red.
may i be allowed to edit the code and modify the red colors in other colors? (obviously always keeping the link that this theme was created by you and so on)
it might seem a stupid question but i’m not expert in codes and copyrights and so on, so better ask before doing something wrong or not allowed
(sorry for my bad english, im from italy)

this blog is rellay great.
ciao ciao

yea, you can edit the code and colors anyway you want.

Hi,

Great design. Thank you so much.

I’d been using it at Wordpress.com but decided it was time to set up my own. Being a newbie i’m quite happy at how much I’ve been able to customize / change.

I’ve managed to widgetize the left sidebar but can’t find a way to widgetize the other 2 ‘obar’ sidebars. In the Admin I can get the option to add widgets to Sidebars 2 & 3 but they’re not being published on the front end.

Can you help?

Thanks

Great theme. I’ve been using .5 for quite a while.

Question. I’m looking to upgrade to WordPress 2.6. Is Neo-Sapien .5 compatible with it? If not, is .6? I don’t see either on WordPress’ compatibility lists.

Thanks.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for a great theme! Now I’m wondering how to have comments function not only on posts, but also on static pages. It seems to me like a have to modify the theme a bit, insert some piece of code somewhere, but I don’t know exactly where. I would like to use the plugin wp-wall, and I’ve managed to widgetize the theme on my own, but only the right “obar” so far, but to use this plugin, I have to allow comments on pages, which is not possible in this theme. Can you help? What code do I have to insert, and where?

Thanks,

SKNABT:

I have upgraded WP to version 2.6, and so far as I can see, it is compatible with Neo-Sapien 0.6.

Hi,

get theme I really loved it…

but I discovered a bug, :(

when you press Categories and so on… on the sidebar the format of the post doesn’t appear.

The xhtml validation catches an error at the theme as I checked my page again and again an its ok … ti has to do with some openings and closers of { } at page styles/formating. I wish that’s of same help to you.

thanks for your time,

mando7stam.
