Gridlock 1.5

awesome thanks!!!
peace.
bv.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to give this an extensive test run. Blog themes that don’t look like blogs are goldmines. =P

The theme is really nice and configuration is very easy. However, currently when I apply the theme, the blog loads on the left of the screen, is it possible to make sure that the blog appears in the centre. Thanks.

Any chance we could have a full screenshot?

Sorry. The php code tag in line 47 was incorrect. It was missing the “php” after the question mark and so causing a parse error at the endwhile for that post loop.

Such a great theme! Thanks!

Nice theme! I probably would make the theme centered on the screen as well, unless that’s somehow against the license or it would break the theme (I’m out of town on a business trip so I can’t play with it). But I can’t image a margin:auto; setting in the CSS would break it.

Great theme! I would love it if you made a centered version. Don’t get me wrong, I still love your theme! If someone else comes up with the centered version, please post.

Thanks. More power.

Can’t seem to get the theme to activate. I get the following message. What have I done wrong?

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Gridlock Stylesheet is missing.

Book, I faced the same problem and the solution is simple.

There is a directory called “gridlock” inside another one called “Gridlock”.

What you have to do is upload ONLY the “gridlock” directory. That will solve the problem.

Cheers

I´m facing a problem myself.

The CURRENTLY FEATURED seems to be on top of the nav bar.

If you go to my site, you can see it: http://www.papodehomem.com.br

Can someone give me a hand with that?

Thks!

Thanks Guilherme! Sorry I can’t help with your question…

Simply fantastic design. I just luv this theme wow a big 10 outta 10 :)

P.s. I am using this baby now on my site. thank you again.

I’ve just started using the theme on Kartlink.com and it looks great on the front page and the individual pages, but on the archive pages the grey About box slips down the page and the text goes black, and all the rules and lines go out of alignment. Go to my site and click on one of the tags for an example. Do you know what’s causing that? Otherwise it’s a great theme!

I don’t know why but I have some problems with the pages. I create a new page but it doesn’t show up on the site.

In response to Guilherme, further up (2 days, 13 hrs. ago as I write this), where he said: “There is a directory called “gridlock” inside another one called “Gridlock”. What you have to do is upload ONLY the “gridlock” directory.” ….

I’m having this same problem, and just a bit confused. In my directory I have two folders, side by side: Gridlock and __MACOSX (alongside the the file ._Gridlock). Are you saying the lowercase “gridlock” folder, below the UC “Gridlock” folder, should be in place of the the latter? Does this mean __MACOSX is unnecessary?

Appreciate any explanation offered on this.

How do I display 3 posts on the first page instead of 1 and to display the 4 additional mini post at the bottom instead of 2? Sorry for my poor english, I’m trying to get the theme to suit my needs.

Well, was hoping I can get this work out, mind directing me? I’m a newbie, I don’t know where to start with. Many Thanks.

I had to kludge together the “Fresh” theme to essentially accomplish what you’ve done here! (visit HAINSWORTH.COM to see what I mean).

I’d prefer to use Gridlock with some modifications!

How do I center the theme in the browser? I’ve poked around the style.css but haven’t really found a way to do this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,

first of all compliments with your fantastic theme (gridlock), i use it at my own site. But i wanna know 1 thing; is it possible to place in the third column a “latest posts” tabel or something like that with a latest posts plugin???

Thanx

Great theme! I’ve been working with it to add localization support and translate it to spanish —I just finished doing that, but there is an issue that I wanted to ask you about: for some reason, your sIFR implementation won’t deal with accentuated characters (á é …) or ñ

At first I thought that the cause were the font collections, so I tried several other fonts (including some that I already knew that had those characters) and I still saw “Categoras” instead of “Categorías”

Also, there were some extra semicolons on the CSS that I took care of

Finally, what’s the theme license? I know that it’s a Creative Commons license, but I can’t find which one

I will send you an email with the modified files and an unified diff file

Gorgeous theme.. fits perfectly except I wish it had previous and next capabilities in the post.

and small thumbs for the sub features… just so it’s not all text.

the way it’s laid out if I make more than 2 posts in a day the third will probably never be read.. I think having either a “recent posts” in the sidebar feature or having “next/previous story” links on the main page.

hm, gridlock appears broken when i drop it into WP themes — screenshot @ http://toolstomaketools.com/hosted-images/gmail/broken-gridlock.png

how can we have previous and next on the front page… any idea’s or suggestions?

I did a search and the search has previous and next I’ve tried altering some files but can’t quite get it to work..

thoughts?

Hi and many thanks for this amazing theme…I am currently editing the theme to make it more…personal, but as Felipe I have a problem with the accent using sIFR. I tried to make a new Flash animation including the accent, but it still don’t work.

Other thing, I have 5 post for the Currently featured section, but just the first post is using sIFR to render the title in Flash. I don’t know why it does not apply to the other.

Thank you for the theme! It is truly amazing!

I am new to Wordpress (been doing blogger) and I am trying to figure out how to add my own custome sections on the main menu bar with the Gridlock template. Can you offer suggestions?

Thanks Eston! I’m sure you will have no problem finding a job when you graduate!

The theme is really quite good. I want to try translating it to Turkish, but this will be my first time. I have an .mo .po editing software. I think I need the POT file for the theme first right?

Anyone know how to center this theme? Thanks!

I am working on the centering but it’s not so simple. currently I have the entire content wrapped in center but I am stuck with the #main_content and #sidebar layers, #sidebar comes beneath the #main_content no matter what I do. (I made their position relative)

The only way I could get them side by side was by assigning float:right and float:left respectively but then the background is all messed up.

Anyway I’ll keep working on it.

OK, All those center alignment people can help out in here: I will be testing the whole day today:

Hey there,

I looove your theme, been looking for stuff like this for ages…

I don’t use delicious and would like to use that bottom space for like an ad banner or something, how do I do that?

Tried editing the index.php but it didn’t work.

Thanks again.

I cannot seem to change the header bar, I want to add more pages but it won’t work with the code and won’t wotk on it’s own… What can I do? Please, thanks.

Excellent design. Very clean an readable. Two thumbs up. Yet, there are a number of kinks that need to be worked out. Sifr does not work for my Romanian language blog (http://www.pagini.com/blog). Do I need to have anything installed on the server? Also, I am not sure how the index loop is set up. Displaying the second and third featured articles is quite erratic. Although I am positive that there are stories in the categories I assigned to them, the posts show quite inconsistently in the assigned columns (meaning they do not show). Finally, if this is to be useful for an online magazine, it needs to be more flexible. It would be nice the featured columns were extended by at least a couple more categories (staggered within the current two columns?) and if they could include several stories each (I would be very generous here, 12 would not to high of a number). There should also be a way to choose how many stories can be included in each featured category (should be more than 1 for sure). Good job. Good luck with your studies. (Have you considered Purdue?).

Great theme!
How can I display in the front page more than one Previously Features and Secondary Feature articles. I mean I need to display in the front page at least 10 articles.

I set this theme up on a new blog (in the url). I can’t figure out how to set my feature categories. The Gridlock options menu only gives me two choices: Uncategorized and All Categories. When I set this up, I only had the default category. Now, I have more categories but I still only have one choice.

Okay. I figured it out. The category does not appear as an option in the Gridlock Options menu until a post has been made in that category. I started to write a few draft posts under each category and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

Me again. I’m using this theme on two sites now. I likey! Anyway, I’m having a bit a style conflict when I use ul and ol tags in my posts. The default style for ordered and unordered lists is a bigger point than the body text and I would like to be the same. I’m codey noob so any help would be appreciated. I’m looking for either a hack for the style sheet or a tag I can insert at the post level. -Thanks

Hey, whats up?

Awesome template. How you think is the easiest way to someone (me) translate your template? It’s kind of complicated read all that theme files in the editor and figure out what is a function, and what are in the “screen”…

We love this theme very much; a great job! We’re using it on our political opinion website, and we have it set to the deafult with 1 featured post and two previously featured posts. My question is this: how can I change it such that the front page displays 4 previously featured articles (with one of them being the secondary category?)

Howdy, love the theme! I was wondering if you might be able to widgetize this theme? Thanks!

Hi, I am pretty much set on implementing Gridlock for an artist friend’s website. Has anyone put together a layout with another column on the left side? I need to have an upcoming events calendar in a highly visible position, and I think I’d like to move the sidebar over to the left and put an event calendar on the right.

hey all, this theme seems incredible, but the downloadable archive seems to de damage.. can you help me? thanks

I uploaded the “gridlock” folder to my Themes directory. When I go into Presentation to activate the theme I see the following message: “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.”

Any help?

Thanks!

Very beautifull template!! It it compatible with wordpress 2.1?

Wooow, this template is superb!!!! I’m looking for something like this for ages!

Jeff, check to see that you didn’t upload the folder “Gridlock” with the folder “gridlock” inside it. If you did, you may need to upload it again, with just the inner directory of files.

Yes, this works with WP 2.1

My problem is that it doesn’t display more than one story in each of the two narrow columns below the main feature. If I could rewrite the functions to do that, I would be so happy. But I may have to roll my own with this info: http://max.limpag.com/2006/08/05/how-to-use-wordpress-magazine-news-cms/

It looks great! What font is used in the title incidentally?

Nice theme:)

I am with nils.

is there any way to get more than 3 stories on the main page? also how can you make the menu bar have pull down menus

This theme is awesome! I already have a plan for it. Thanks for making it available.

This theme is great, but it would be nice if there was an admin option to center the layout, or let it expand with the size of the browser. Similarly, an admin option that lets one define how many stories should display on the front page would be great.

For instance, since this is a “zine” layout, one should be able to show numerous stories on the front page, all from a different category. This way, the front page could show “sections” of the e-zine as one would fine in a printed publication.

Great work so far. Is there a document somewhere that shows what you may implement for future versions?

I love this theme. I would like to ask, though, if it is possible to have more than 1 post on the currently featured theme. If I can have like 3-5 posts under that (apart from the previously featured and secondary posts). if so, how can i do it?

in any case, thanks for releasing this.

Love the theme, and am now using it for my site. Thanks to this article, I was able to hack the Gridlock theme to be centered. It took a little extra work but the results were worth it. Again, an AWESOME theme!

superb!
i love it, thanx ;)

Absolutely amazing theme. I did notice though that with 2.1 you can’t pick any other featured category other than “Uncategories” or else it breaks the site. Ami I the only one with this problem?

First of all, wonderful theme!
Then I wanted to ask you if you knew a way to make the big story be all categories, then the left small one be cat 1 and the right one to be cat 2 - but 1 post older than the one displayed?

I’ve been messing around with the code and have not managed to do this. I’d be glad for any help.
Cheers!

Eston thanks for the amazing theme. I scoured the internet and this was def my fav.

I have a quick question for you. I made individual pages which are now linked in the nav, how do you/ what code do I put in to enable comments on these pages? Everything else went seamlessly and this is my only problem. Any help I’d seriously appreciate it.

Figured out the solution. Best theme I’ve ever seen.

I there. I’ve experienced difficults using latin chars in the titles (using the flash utility), where they disappear.
For instance when I write “Publicações” (Publications in English) will appear “Publicaes”, missing the “ç” and the “õ”.
How can I solve this problem?

Is it possible to change the “Gridlock” logo to say the name of my site?

I was wondering how to get it so when I add a new page a new item comes up on the menu bar that has ‘Home’ on it. On a demo I seen that there are a few menu items but I can’t do it on mine.

Cheers,
Steve

I love this theme. Abso-bloody-lutely love it to death. You’re a total legend. Thank you so much!

Love the theme. I know you’ve said it would be a heavy modification, but would you mind pointing us in the direction of how to modify index.php to show more top-level posts on the front page?

I uploaded your theme, which I love, but it is telling me that the stylesheet is missing. What do I do?

! D:\New SOTN\Themes and Designs\gridlock14b1.zip: Cannot create Gridlock\Icon

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
! D:\New SOTN\Themes and Designs\gridlock14b1.zip: Cannot create __MACOSX\Gridlock\._Icon

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

These are the errors I got when unzipping but I still installed and got an error that said stylesheet missing…

I cannot seem to change the header bar, I want to add more pages but they do not display on my page when I add them in the admin area.

Fantastic looking theme, and love the way it adds more interaction with the reader.
Unfortunatly I just couldnt get the title of my blog to appear instead of gridlock. I installed the correct folder gridlock lowercase but still no change.
In option the blog title is musiclikedirt but seems to make no difference :s

Very odd

Theme is really great. Maybe we could start something like a help place to share our problems and ideas how to make this and this.
I can make a forum topic for this on my forum.
If you want obviously.

very nice, thanks!!

this looks great. i was wondering if there would be a future version with sidebar widget support.

otherwise, i’ll have to muck with the sidebar and i’m horrible at that.

thanks!

I just finally got this theme working the way I want (minus one or two tiny things I’m still playing with) at http://www.FadMarketing.com, and just wanted to say it’s a fantastic theme, even if it’s a bit tough to work with at times. :)

If anyone’s still trying to get the theme centered, a kind member over at the DigitalPoint forums helped me get it working on my blog, and his instructions / code are there: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=268934

Hi. Great theme. Will it be possible for you to make the sidebars widget-compatible? Thanks in advance.

Hehe, jag är så givmild i mina bästa stunder

So, this theme does NOT work with IE 6? I like these theme a lot. I hope it does. I really want to use it, but if it does not work with IE6 I’ll just have to look for a different one. Unfortunately most internet users out there use IE6 and most of them are not going to download a browser just to look at a website. I have mac, so I can’t test it right now. Thanks.

I get the following error on the main page…

WordPress database error: [Not unique table/alias: 'wp_post2cat']
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_post2cat.category_id IN (1) AND (post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’)) AND category_id NOT IN (1,25) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 1

What’s going on there?

hi nice site.

I seem to have a problem. I can’t seem to get the footer to show up at the bottom…it seems to show up on the right side of the header instead. I don’t know if this is a version problem with the new wordpress, or something that I have done wrong.

Fantastic theme - really clean. Using it and loving it.

For those that simply cannot figure out EXACTLY how to add new pages they’ve created for their blog into the header. I may have more detailed instructions:

You’ll have to manually edit the the header.php file in the Theme Editor. Toward the bottom of the file, you’ll find where the page listings are stored. Just locate the the comment that says: — change these links to suit your site –
You should find the div class=’nav’ tag that adds the ‘home’ link just below that. Copy and paste a copy of that line just below the line that adds the home page link to the nav bar.
Edit it the copied line like this:
/name-of-new-page” title=”name-of-new-page”>name-of-page-to-display-in-nav-bar

I hope this helps.

please tell me how to fix the footer on the right side….so damn annoyingggggg thanks your theme rocks :)

Your theme is excellent !, but I have a problem. I use Gridlock theme in a web in spanish. All fine, but when I upgrade Wordpress 1.5.1 to 2.1.3, the special character of the spanish language like á , é, í, ó, ú disappear.

For more mystery, this characters can be clearly seen during the load of the page, but when the load of the page end, they disappear. ! I am lost :(

Can you helpme about this ? Thank in advance!

one of the best theme i ever seen. Great works

Great theme. I am going to use it on an intranet site and I want to change the font size in the div id=”upper” section. I’ve poured over the css but no changes I make (#upper or .nav) have any effect. Can you tell me where the font size/style can be manipulated?

Thanks Much.

Just wanted to let you know I think this theme is awesome. I’ll be using it to put together a site for a local band.

Awesome theme. I’ve been looking for a magazine theme for Wordpress for ages. We run a few free publications in Melbourne, Australia, and we need some sort of web presence (without having to pay for it), so piecing together Wordpress hacks is what we’re working with. Your theme makes that a hell of a lot easier. One question though - is there any way to get the main article to cut a few paragraphs in, with a ‘Read More’ tag to the full article?
Cheers

Great works!

a like tihis design. thanks for inspire me

I really appreciate your wonderful theme!
But I think I have a similar problem similar to Mary-Ann’s problem that the tag archive doesnt work in your theme.

please have a look, the page is empty if I click in the tag archive page. I am using the simple Tagging plugin

http://chandamon.com/YL/?tag=%E4%B8%8D%E8%AE%8A%E7%9A%84%E9%A2%A8%E6%99%AF

I think what you mean is I need a new template for this plugin, right? I, however dont know how to do it…
can you tell me how can I do it exactly? Since this is my important project for my school, and it is in the final state and I really hope the problem can be solved as soon as possible…

I do cherish your kindly help, hope you can figure out for me…Thanks a lot.

And here is the link of the plugin I use…
and one more,
As I have problem with the format in IE as well though I have amended quite a lot of your template, can you recommend me a way to help keeping the same format in both FF and IE?

I’ve been receiving some additional requests on possible fixes to adding your own buttons to the GridLock header, so I created some simple instructions that should help. It took some poking around, so I hope this works for you. However, this is one fine looking WP Theme.

nice template. I have just downloaded it and probably would use it on my blog. thanks!

Is there a WYSIWYG editor that can be used in Wordpress to edit this OUTSTANDING template?

I’m looking to customize it some and am cluessless with code…

Hi. You mentioned ” Of course, you can always run Gridlock in standard mode with a traditional chronological order.”

Exactly how do I change the layout to standard mode?

Thanks!

I must say that I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this theme, its simply a fine piece of art. Will be looking forward to see you match this feat with an even better theme in the future

Hi Eston. I´m giving your (beautiful and nice coded) Gridlock a try. But i got one BIG PROBLEM. I added some sites to topnavigation. Everything written in german. for e.g.: Buero is wirtten in german: Büro or in html-german Büro > ae is ä ue is ü and oe is ü… but when i add this in the header.php i get bro instead of büro or büro…. Funny, but for a second i see the original (and correct) word, then it ’switches’ and smoothens the font… i use mozilla, ie7 and 6 and even mozilla ie-plugin. everywhere the same. Got a clue how to fix that? i´m pretty helpless at that point. btw: i’m setting this thing up on: planland.at (austria) for a good old friend, but i want to use it for our upcoming (summer) vector-free-web-mag vectoforsure.com. what really be nice if you could lend a helping hand on that issue! maybe i can give you the german translations of your theme, that i already made. you got my mail. please feel free to contact me. thanks!

Love this theme. I had some errors when I unziped it. Might be windows fault…. But here’s the error for your information:

Hi,
this is a great theme. It fits perfect. Only 2 question I do have. May be you have an answer.

And now my questions ;-)

1. How can I add more posts to the main page?
2. How can I change the colour of the flash words/buttons?

Would be really great if you would send me an answer.
Thanks a lot.
ChrisBe

I installed your beautiful theme.
Unfortunatly, “pages” are not shown next to the “home”-page Link on top of the site.
Other templates are fine. What might be the problem? Anyone else encountered this problem?

Thank you for your help!

Roman

When is this going to be fullt compatible for Wordpress 2.2?

@Roman: I have the same problem.

Eston, any help available?

Thanks Eston.

hi,

Firstly, great looking theme.. however a few issues i have. How do i change the title of the blog ? currently it shows up as “Gridlock” do i need to create my own image? or is this just text?

Secondly. how do i implement widget support, i want to add a few other things to the blog, is it possible with this kind of a layout?

thanks,
AJ

Preston,

I’ve figured out most of my issues in the question i posted above. I have another one.

How do you rotate the articles in the second and third “featured” categories so that it pulls information from old posts in the archive instead of just remaining on the one post?

thanks,
AJ

@Eston: Thank you!

Hello. Does anybody know:

1. How to add a footer to this theme.

2. How to have more than one post at the top.

Thanks

Hey Eston and everyone, has anyone else tried to use Gridlock14 and got the message that the style sheet and template are missing? I’m using wp2.2, just installed. The other themes I uploaded are all available, but I don’t like them nearly as much. Gridlock looks professional, coming from an old hand in the publication biz. Great work.

Are you planning on making this theme “widget” compatible? I came across this, and was just wondering
http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/

Many new plug ins seem to be widgets.

Hey great template! I’ve got to say that Eston is an incredibly helpful guy. I had a couple of questions that i could not find any info on and he really took a few minutes to help me out. He does what he says. Thanks for the help and the great looking site!

great design!… thanks for sharing with all of us.

wah! good design. just useful reference for designers http://www.miniajax.com/ - a showroom of nice looking simple downloadable DHTML and AJAX scripts.

Can i apply some ajax and php includes to this theme or it required some plugin. thank

Where can i download it?

You need some plugin to includes php and ajax konen. download it fron wp oficial website.

The themes this year were absolutely astounding. I have no idea how judges could distribute the points among so many distinct designs, so statistically speaking (don’t take this literally please), anyone could be (is) a winner

Hey,

Great theme! One question: how do I edit the header logo? What font does it use?

Thanks,
Adam

Is it possible to have 2 current feature articles? One below the other? If so, anyone know how you do it?

Great theme! I’m touching it a bit, but I’m stucked on changing the categories name colour.

The label it uses is but I found in CSS the sidebar , I was able to put a background for the categories text, but I can’t change it colour… and the background is dark and the letters too, so It is unreadeable.

Also, I want to make a left-margin because the text is so near to the background start and it doesn’t looks good…

Can someone help me with those things?

How can one submit a theme to your browser?
Thx in advance.

I’m here again, I have turned off sIFR and now I can modify anything I want on the CSS, but I still have a problem that more people have, and there’s no answer about that…

How can we make a footer for this theme? when you make a div for the footer, and then you introduce this div on the footer, it appears, but under the header, not on his real place… why?

I’ve just asked in a few websites, tried all I can, but this is something impossible!!

Please, tell us how to make a footer for gridlock, how to show it on the footer of the weblog, not under the header, please.

Thanks.

Thank you for your job!

Great theme.
Just installed it and probably will be a keeper.

Hello, nice theme! :) I downloaded it and I’m now using it.

One question though, how can I change the h3 colors? I tried changing it in the CSS but it wont change. Thanks! :D

Howdy, I am using this theme as well. How can I manage it to have two featured articles in my blog? And the about area in the upper right. What do I have to do to get it on my page. Would appreciate your support. Greetz Matthias

I’ve been looking for a template to differentiate my blog for a while now. Thanks for this excellent resource.

I’ve made a few changes which others might want to examine. Got two previous features running in the left column under the latest post, and I’ve got two rotating ’spotlight’ posts in the right column. Also tacked ‘top content’ and ‘latest comments’ at the very bottom.

Good night
I like your fine site - hyalineskies.com .

I think it wasnt easy to post here so much information.

The gridlock theme is awesome. I made some adjustments for a wider content area and new header. Some of you might want to check it out!
cheers

Hey, I download the file and install it onto Wordpress. But then it says “Broken Theme” because the “Stylesheet is missing”. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I have unzipped the whole folder and uploaded it correctly (other themes I have uploaded have worked correctly. Thanks.

Can someone please post a demo of the new version of this theme?

oh, i like simple themes like this theme, very very nice theme ;)

nice

Hello! I really like this theme very much! Thank you! But I’m also wondering, how I can change it, that there is more than 1 featured article displayed, without repeating the ones on top in the previous section?
It would be perfect if you could help me..

Thanks in advance and greetings
:)

Hi ! The theme is wonderful but on my wordpress it can’t run correctly… I’m answering me if the archive ZIP haven’t got a problem ? Could you verify ?
Thanks a lot for you work !

I’ve been using the gridliock theme for awhile now for our Church’s website. I have one question/favor to ask…. Is there anyway to expand the code to pull posts from more than two categories?

If you check out http://asburycrestwood.net/ as an example you’ll see that I have two posts from one category and then one post from the podcast cateogry. I’d like to then have a 3rd and possibly forth category below that.

Is that possible?

Howdy - just a quick one… how do you add pages to the template so that they appear at the top with “home” “about” etc..

many thanks,

Gridlock seems to be a nice theme - but it isn’t widget-ready for building up the sidebar by widgets?

any idea why this theme does not work with addthis.com widget? I should say it mostly does. However, when listing categories the bookmarks link does not work and output code instead of a bookmark .

Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Check a version of the theme. It has been a little bit modified but not too much. Let me know what you think: http://www.vincentcassar.com

Very straight theme, perfect for me - but I have one kind request: The font used for the headline (avantgarde.swf?) seems not to be able to display the strange vowels used in my two other every-day-languages (besides english): german and swedish (as äöüß - å) while the bodytext font (helvneue.swf?) does. Is it possible for you to provide an update?

Gridlock seems to be a nice theme

If your interested Eston, I widgetized Gridlock…. http://mejo.info/2007/09/15/gridlock-with-widgets/

best,

Mejo

Why do my titles disappear and most of my posts look invisible when I look at my site with Camino?

Great theme. I’ve widgetized it too, and it looks and works well. Have you or anyone tried it with wp2.3?

@diana … maybe because camino got no flash. sifr-type used in gridlock. just google for sifr or use wikipedia.

Hi Eston,
I have the same problem as some of the people with different caracter bugs. For instance, some accents and strange letters doesn’t show on the titles in flash. Can you please let me know how to do it?
Thank you.
Rui

Very straight theme, perfect for me

Thanks,

I noticed that Gridlock doesn’t pass XHTML validation unless I added ‘xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en” lang=”en”‘ to the tag in header.php.

I would love a look at the Gridlock 1.5 version.. please send over the necessary files.. Thanks.

I would also like to take a look at the subversion.

Is it possible to center this on the page rather than the current alignment towards the left?
If so, how?

Another request while I’m at it:
a 3-column version. please please
also, how about the option for the featured article to be a permanent ’sticky post’.
Thanks!

hi i wan to thank you for this template it empresses me a lot and used in my website thanky you very much

We would like to deploy Gridlock for our “revamped” site but it would make more sense it seems to wait for the new version if it is a question of days. Any – even rough – release date for v1.5 ? Best

I love your theme… can’t wait for it to be compatible with wp2.3!
Thanks!

I would love a copy of Gridlock 1.5 if you can send me the files, I can manage with an unstable version till you release the official one. Great theme!

Hope you will pull out an unstable 1.5 version as soon as possible too ;) It would allow me to test-drive my new site! Thanks in advance and GREAT WORK! ;)

Can you send me 1.5 versione? It’s fantastic….

when arrives 1.5 version??

Awesome theme - looking forward to v1.5!

Hello, nice theme! :) I downloaded it and I’m now using it.

I hacked the theme into a three column version but I don’t think I have it any more I’m afraid..

Hey there. I’d love to try out the 1.5 beta of the skin. Is the SVN repository accessible, or strictly used by yourself?

thanks in advance, Dan

Iam just making a list of all the best wordpress themes and your this theme has also been nominated :)
Congrats & Good luck

Great theme. Using 1.4 and can’t wait for the new stuff in 1.5. However, wanted to know if there was a way to display more than one post for Past Feature Section? I have looked at the Main Index Template and can’t seem to find a controller for number of posts displayed. Admittedly, I am a PHP novice so if someone could help, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Wow, what a fantastic theme. Thank you so much, i will deffinately be using this on my new blog =] - i hope the fixes for the new version of WP come soon. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Marty.

Great theme, i will wait for new updates.

great theme thanx !

Very nice, thanks in advance

The theme is really nice

Very nice theme, thanx

hello from Hong Kong. Thanks for design

Hey there. I’d love to try out the 1.5 beta of the skin. Is the SVN repository accessible, or strictly used by yourself?

Полезная статейка, спасибо.

I love love love LOVE this theme, but I need to echo the requests above to allow it to be centered, but more importantly, to allow for more than three posts to appear.
I’m trying to learn php just to find a fix - right now, whenever I think i have it figured out, my page just comes up blank, and the source says no html code is available at all. Very weird.
Anyway, if you happen to end up selling a version that has these mods, I may be interested…

Great theme. Thanks for design

I too love love love LOVE this theme, b

Thanks for design.i from Ukreine

great theme thanx !

Wow, what a fantastic theme

Simple, elegant, and wonderful.
I was able to get the “About” page to work without permalinks by entering “?p=7″ (or whatever page or post you want to jump to) as the slug.

I’m noticing that there’s no “meta” link for site admin, just a “Logout” link. Would be nice to have that.

Damn, I wanted ton use this template, but I read your warning about WP 2.3
When are you planning on releasing an up to date version ?

I love love love LOVE this theme, but beside me too beautiful

Your template is trend and style. The colors you picked are a brilliant combination. I have taught about something similar… I guess I can simply use your template now : ) So, thanks for this contribution. Greeting from Germany!

Love your theme and thanx for the emails. I look forward to your next themes being released.

Hi. I still don’t understand how you add a page to the menu bar, can someone please explain it properly? I can’t use the theme until I know this which is very frustrating. Thanks!

Hi
Are you able to list some of the problems with the current release of Wordpress, or vice versa, list the fixes you are making.

I am currently playing around with 1.4 and 1.5 on WP 2.3, but as TIMALLEN says, I can’t add pages to the menu bar, and the admin interface does not seen to offer any option to customise the look as you explain in your intro text above.

Realising that this edition does not work, knowing exactly what does not work would be helpful im sure to all those who would like to still play around with it, but who’s knowledge and confidence is not sufficient enough to realise if ‘bugs’ are their fault or the version problem… ie . Me.

Many many thanks.
Graham

Me again,
One last thing, I have been itching to use this theme for many months… just been getting round to organizing a host etc.

It is such a wonderful theme.

Are you able to give us a rough idea of completion for the update? Am keen to use this theme for my partners Blog, but until we know what the bugs are, and when a update is due, I am pressured into using another them which I do not want to do.

FOR OTHER USERS: Would be good to see some examples of this theme in use.

I don’t think you should underestimate the popularity of this theme, I think with a few other considerations, like: a forum or FAQ pages for users to discuss issues etc, would be terribly useful and more users I know would end up looking at this theme. Its not a criticism as such, just that there is a lack of info which I know does put people off committing to this theme for customisation etc. Just a though…

Regards
Graham

Trying to implement the template, but can’t see how to change the featured posts to latest post in every single category, like on http://aslamp.com or http://laginmill.com/blog
Where to look ?

Many thanks for your reply… looking forward to the new release.

Graham

Hey Eston, it seems when I have slFR turned on none of the links work in my navigation. Any ideas why that would be happening? I’m using wordpress 2.3 and on a Mac in both FIrefox and Safari links don’t work. Take a look: http://www.insideoutsiders.com

Thanks!
Dustin

Wonderful theme, having some weird issues with it, though. I’m testing it out on a local install of wordpress and none of the links seem to work. Well… some of them do. I can click things in the sidebar, but when I try to click a link in the top navigation bar or the main content area, nothing happens, as if there’s no link there. Upon right clicking, I get an adobe flash dialogue with the settings option greyed out and a link to their “about flash player” page.

How do I disable sIFR? Which line in the code do I have to change?

Thanks!

Any idea when the new version might be ready?

Gracias

When might the aerial theme be ready?
Really looking forward to it.

Cheers

Please…will it be a single button or link on the top of each article stating: printer friendly output…export this as pdf, tip a friend… that would have been the answere to my quest!

Hey has anyone else had some issues with the flash buttons on the header not working with safari?

Great theme, i will wait for new updates.

Good theme!

Hey, I love the theme, but I can’t get several aspects to work. How do I get the header to be the title of my blog and the pages I’ve made don’t show up. Also how can I set what is in the featured section, etc?
Thanks

I really love this theme. For the guy that posted above me, you have to go into the Gridlock options and check “Disable sIFR Typography”. I had the same problem, it works after that.

Additionally, I really want a footer for this and I can’t get it to display in the right area. Would love if the footer worked.

Hey does anyone know when gridlock 1.5 should come out and if it’ll be compatible with WP 2.5?

Love the theme - looks really professional!
I’m having difficulties with getting links to work on the header. I have managed to add the links by editing the ‘header’ code with:
<a href=”" title=”home”>home

changing where ever it says ‘home’ to ‘loans’ and the link has appeared. The problem is when I select the link it goes to an error page (”error 404, page not found” sort of thing). What do I need to do to get this to work?

very nice wolk!

Hello Book,,
I am using this theme in my blog http://www.terrific.asia
But the third post is not displayed in the blog main page even if we can find it in the category. Please help me with this.

Regards,
Robinsun

Wow, what a great theme. Thanks…

Great theme!
How can I display in the front page more than one Previously Features and Secondary Feature articles. I mean I need to display in the front page at least 10 articles.

hey everyone. is gridlock stable for the last wordpress version?

still waiting for that stable version, because i like the theme ver much tho.

Gridlock is a great theme, but this site/blog is as dead as saddam. Hasn’t been posted for months.

I’m now using WP 2.5 and wanted to used Gridlock very much, but im sick of waiting and im using the ‘The Morning After’ theme, which is much nicer (except for the sIFR-thing)! You people should also do that!

This is an awesome blog theme. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cool, I agree with previous poster)
thanks)

Yeah this is a great theme, but it is a shame it has not been updated recently

I love this theme. I would like to ask, though, if it is possible to have more than 1 post on the currently featured theme. If I can have like 3-5 posts under that (apart from the previously featured and secondary posts). if so, how can i do it?

in any case, thanks for releasing this.

Hey, This is a great looking theme. Cant wait to get my hands on the new version.

Would things work out if I put in the old version, and tried to hack it straight with WP 2.5?

nice! cant wait to test it!

Are you ever going to release aerial?

Great, looking forward to it!
By the way, I like a gridlock a lot!

one of the best WP themes around. Hope an updated is coming soon.

This is an awesome blog theme. Thanks for sharing it with us.

How do I edit the nav bar in Flash or whatever? I don’t even know where to start. I don’t want to just have “Home” but I don’t know how to add anything else.

great! very nice and best of all, free.

Great blog theme! Thanks for a good job!

Great theme design. You clearly have some outstanding talent

Nice theme. I’m considering to apply to my blog.
Will it ok with WP 2.8 ?

Thanks anyway.
It’s better if you can have a real preview sample.

Hi , i have some questions about you desing
maybe you can give designer contacts?

Very nice! Cool theme.
Thanks)

Any chance we could have a full screenshot?

Hi there! Great theme, very happy I found it. I have to domains one Turkish and other English. I used the theme on Turkish and it worked great. But when I installed it on the english domain delicious plugin appeares on the sidebar and the sidebar appearss where delicious should be. Any suggestions?

This error is only on the homepage. Single pages seem to be ok.

Yes I can take a screenshot or you can take a look at it http://eng.mienotes.com/.
Thank you for your help.

I did solve my problem. It was because I didn’t have any posts. That was breaking the layout. Great theme…

First of all Eston, thank you for such a beautiful theme. In answer to felipe’s question, if you dig deeply it says in help/index.html that the CC type is By-Nc-Sa 3.0. What is not specified is what kind of attribution is expected by the author.

I made only some images (beyond the supplied PSDs) and CSS modifications, but at which point is it worth forking the project?

Great theme. Thanks for sharing.

wow….awesome…
thank you very much.

Hi. I’m thinking of upgrading Wordpress to 2.8. Does anyone know if there are any issues with Gridlock and the new Wordpress release?

Is anyone else having a hard time downloading the theme? I’m using Safari 4, and after I click download, I just hover at the .zip URL….nothing to show for it. Fixes?

I can’t get this theme to install on 2.8. It says it is a broken theme? anybody else?

thank you for such a beautiful theme. At first I thought that the cause were the font collections, so I tried several other fontand I still saw “Categoras” instead of “Categorías”
