Peaceful Rush marks the beginning of my self challenge to publish one free WordPress theme per day for more than 31 consecutive days.

What's Next?

Oh, I really like this one. The color scheme is very calming and I definitely like how the header/background tapers off. Looks good, and excited to see the rest of them for the next 31+ days!

Very, very nice. Well done.

Small Potato:

Jordan – i joined the forum you invited me to, but will have to come back to it after work hours.

Wayde – i read your CSS ir. Very useful little tutorial!

@Small Potato – Glad to be of assistance ;)

HOT THEME

Gorgeously gorgeous. I haven’t seen a theme I took such an instant liking to in a…well, in a long time. Keep up the good work! I’m rooting for you. There are what? 28 more to go?

Small Potato:

Viitoria, I’m jealous of your calendar!

[...] Sticking to the short and simple, take a visit to wpdesigner.com. Small Potato (his nickname, isn’t that something?) is working on a goal of one theme a day for 31 (and counting) days. So far he’s completed four themes. His themes thus far are titled: Peacful Rush, Vengeance, Dream On, and Exhausted. View all of his themes and leave him some much needed comments, critiques and chant him on so he has the motivation to go through with his self-challenge. [...]

Hi! I love this theme–it’s meaningful to me in a perhaps rather different way than you intended–and I wanted to thank you, first of all, for making it publically available, and also to ask where the header image came from? Thank you so much. :)

mdm:

I love this one! Already using it and all my readers love it too. Thanks! Looking forward to more of your themes!

[...] Ever since the beginning of my self-challenge, the quality of my themes is declining. My brain is dehydrating. The creative juice is not there and I’m getting less and less patient with adding details to make my designs look complete. If you compare my day-one theme to day-five, they’re completely different quality wise. The former is fully realized and its details are there. The latter is junk I threw together in several hours before going to sleep. [...]

I’m using Peaceful Rush. Looks great! It’s a nice template that allows for easy changes to create ones own unique website. Thank you.

Mike:

Hey! Gotta love this theme! I have managed to translate everything to Swedish but this one thing, the “next/previous page” links. I tryed to edit the script in the “browse.php” file without any succes. Does anyone have an idea on how to change the apearence of these links?

I’m using this template coz beautiful. I like it and thank you ;)
but I made some change on it. Is that oke?

Can somebody please tell me how to modify the “Meta” entrys?
I have now idea where to search for…
Janus

Small Potato:

@YNa – Yes it is.

Janus – To modify the meta links. Open up the sidebar.php file.

Tried to post in the support forum but didn´t work? So here goes
Since my webpage is growing I would like to add a sidebar to the left. I am not that good with PHP but i can handle a fue things. How much work is needed and is it hard to do this? Can anyone assist me to make this happend?!

Small Potato:

Santaclaes,

Include the sidebar in the header instead of the footer. Open the style.css file and change the sidebar margin from:

margin: 10px 0 0 10px;

to

margin: 10px 10px 0 0;

If that doesn’t work, I’ll look into it more.

Thanx for helpin out! Your suggestion simply moves the siderbar to the left. I´m looking to add an additional sidebar/column, handable with sidebar widgets. Maybe this meens to much work…?

Small Potato:

This theme is fixed width and it depends on a lot of graphics. It’ll take a lot of work to put in another sidebar.

Just as I suspected… But thank you for a beutiful and nice working theme! Great work!!!

HI SP:

For some reason my comments show up, and then disappear. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

I love this theme, and want to replace the header image, but I dont find where the size is. I am a first time blogger, so please bear with me on this one. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Rafi

Small Potato:

Rafi. You posted your comment here:
http://www.wpdesigner.com/about

My answer is also on that page.

Thanks SP…I just proved that I am not an experienced blogger :)

Rafi

An excellent theme to get me started. Thank you.

This is a great theme and definitely seems very popular because of its simplicity. Thank you very much for sharing this. I am wondering if anyone knows how to get this theme on wordpress 2.1 to show the name of the user that is posting? Thanks in advance.

This is slightly broken in mozilla/firefox.

I fixed firefox by adding 1 line:

#header {
clear: both;
height: 55px; /* I added this line */
}

I have used the HTML and pasted in blogger’s pseudo-elements and am considering using this for my blogger template. Thx for a good looking layout!

Would anyone possibly be able to help me have this great theme working with default type URL addresses? It seems to break whenever I use an address like http://www.definingcanada.ca/?p=9

Thanks!

Small Potato:

Ehren Cheung,

What exactly are you trying to do?

Please post your questions at the forums:
http://www.wpdesigner.com/forums

I’ll be able to help you there.

Love this theme, and after months of searching for a theme I like, I have chosen yours! One thing, the footer, why doesn’t it have a link to WP.

I know I could create a new footer, but wondered if there was a reason why you hadn’t done one.

Darren

I just applied my finishing touches to “peaceful rush” for blogger.com; you can see my blogger “adaptation”(s) of the theme here: http://iwanttokeepanon.blogspot.com/

It works VERY well! Thanks Small Potato!

Hey SP, is there a site for the success/failure rate of your experiment?\


Wayfaring Stranger

Small Potato:

Which experiment?

I use “experiment” loosely. I mean the 30 themes in 30 days “experiment”, which turned into the 32 day (maybe goal is a better word).

But never mind, I just saw “32 WordPress Themes in 32 Days Recap”. I’m new here and that one got past me amid all the theme posts.

Fredrik:

For any of you who don’t know how to fix this.
In Safari/Firefox the header img is a few pixels wrong.

This is what i did:
Open up wp-content/themes/peaceful-rush/style.css
Change
#header h1{
padding: 26px 30px 0 72px;
to
padding: 28px 30px 0 72px;

Then to fix back in IE add this after #header { }:

* html #header h1 {
padding: 26px 30px 0 72px;
}

PS. Great theme!

@Fredrik:

> For any of you who don’t know how to fix this.
> In Safari/Firefox the header img is a few pixels wrong.

Instead of “fixing” the CSS and then re-breaking it for I.E.; the problem is from an empty div (empty b/c there is nothing but floats and no un-positioned “content”). It is the header that is collapsing. So to fix for FF, opera, etc… just force the header height.

#header {
clear: both;
height: 55px; /* I added this line and it looks correct everywhere! */
}

Fredrik:

iwanttokeepanon:

Yes, thank you that was a much better approach.

hello. i love this theme as well :) I’m wondering if there’s anyway to make it that my header image would change in every page?

very nice theme, congrats.

How can I change the theme to occupy the entire screen? Right now, there is some margin on left and right hand side and I would like to reduce it to gain more real estate for my blog spot. Is there way to stretch the first column so it occupies most of the screen width?

It’s a fixed width theme. Expanding it is not a simple job.

I love this theme, but I would like to add an addtional column next to the right hand column so I can add a skyscraper banner. I don’t want the banner to be ‘part’ of the content but look like it’s ‘hanging’ next to site in the brown area. Is this hard to do?

First let me thank you so much for your good job you doing, I really appreciate it.

I did translate your theme to arabic (it was easy) but I faced 2 issues and I wounder if you can help me on it.

1. I can’t change the Listing on the header to be from right to left (Logo, About.. etc) the bullet image & the logo shown in the left of the word and it should be on the right, I really don’t know how to do it since I tried everything in the ccs file.

2. The buttom side in the home page the “Next Page” link, from where I can translate it? I would like to know which file exactly or should I look inside all the theme files?

Many thanks and Kind regards,
Ali.

looks like you’re busy, but could you take 10 minutes and commint???? help me please please please??????

Regards,
Ali.

hmm…. I thought I sent you an email about this or have answered you on the forums before.

For the logo, rearrange it to come after the menu. For the menu, change it to float right in the css file.

For the next page text, look up how to customize it because you can’t translate it by default.

Hi,

I’ve added the Peaceful Rush theme to my WP 2.1 blog but it appears as though it is a bit out of wack in firefox. I have tried to make some of the changes as suggested above but they have not made a difference. In fact I think it looks a little bit worse. Can you tell me what I should do to fix the theme’s appearance in Firefox?

Small Potato,

I am new to blogging and would really like to use your theme peaceful rush. It appears as though I have to ask word press to consider adding it to their list and have no guarantee that they will. Is that correct? It seems like a lot of other people are using it…What am I missing?!?!?

Thanks.

PS It’s a really nice theme…..

Yup. You do have to request it at WordPress.com if you’re hosted on WordPress.com.

I just started blogging and found your template to use for my site. I absolutely loved the calm I felt when I saw the photo in the design. Professionally, I am graphic designer, however, I am not that familiar with wordpress (I’m leanring tho) so I went with a template.

One comment — your body.gif image is 2 pixels taller than it needs to be. If you go into photoshop and change the canvas size to 2474 pixels high instead of 2476, chopping off the top brown part. I edited it myself and replaced the image and it’s perfect now!

Just thought I’d share small feedback — otherwise, great design and I love the styles you used. By the way, I love your idea for the new one you’re working on.

I need to have a really long blog title (see url) and this causes the navigation links to end up on their own row.

I had previously applied the fixe that aligned the bg image in firefox and safari…

#header {
clear: both;
height: 55px; /* I added this line and it looks correct everywhere! */
}

…but I can’t seem to figure out how to align it with the site title and nav links on two rows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this theme and this is the only issue I have had that I can’t seem to figure out. Thanks for any help you can provide!

James – Can you show me a screenshot of what you’re trying to do at the forums?

Small Potato,

Love this them and just started using it for my blog.

There’s one link that doesn’t seem to work, and it’s the About link in the header. Has anyone else had a problem with this? The About link in the sidebar does work, but not the one at the top.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I love the theme, but have one small hiccup. The sentences read left to right but punctuate at the left. Any clue how I correct that?

Nevermind, I had downloaded a persian version somehow. All is well.

[...] p.s This blog theme is courtesy of the good people over at this link. [...]

Small Potato, LOVE THIS THEME. I’m using to for a little community website that I started, and the entire makeup of the theme feels like HOME. ( : Now my question: Is there ANY POSSIBLE WAY to show my entire posts other than just the one on the front page? Past posts show only an abbreviated version of my post, and one must click on the title of the post to read the whole story. ( I don’t know if everyone will realize they have to click on the title to read the rest.) Please help! Thanks a million!

James:

I just want to say that your theme is very sharp and clean. The code is also great. Thanks a lot!

Thanks James

Hi there,

I LOVE this theme, but for some reason, in the header I cant get all the pages to appear and the links don’t work either. I have added the page widget to the sidebar and it works from there. I see someone has asked about a similar error. Any advice on how to resolve it? I’d really appreciate it.

I must thank you for this exceptional theme. I modified the header and color scheme but absolutely love your simple and clean design.

Couple of questions—for some reason (although I have full posts selected in the admin wordpress panel) it is cutting off my posts to be excerpts. I don’t want this…how do I change it?

The other question is with my sidebar. I know I can edit through sidebar.php but how exactly do I get the meta options and blogroll links to actually show up? The search function and other pages are just fine.
