Freicurv theme has been downloaded more than 2000+ times when I first released it exactly 2 months ago. A lot of question is asked and few requests has been made by some users over certain features. Normally I will assist them personally or via the comment section of the theme entry. I also released a 1.5 version of this theme in the original blog post few weeks ago. But today I would like to release the 2nd version of Freicurv theme,basically with all those requests and some fixes.

freicurv 2

I also did some physical makeover towards the design along with some code enhancement and few features addition. All features available in the first version are still in this second version. So, for new users, you might want to read the post first, since the complete documentation is written there too.

This version comes with these:

admin comment Automatic filling up the comment form when admin logged in

edit post and comment
Edit blog posts and comments link when admin logged in

header
New header and navigation menu. And no more weird blue box in the intro section

And few other minor changes.

View the new complete structure of this Freicurv2.0 theme. And also, remember to read the readme.txt file included in the package.

The previous version has been translated into many languages, and I am happy with that. This time, if you are willing to translate this version 2.0 into any other languages as well, I am very happy to put the link to your work here. Send me and email or comment down there to let me know. Same goes with those who want to convert this into a Blogger template. :)

License and Donation

You can do whatever you want with the theme as long as the credit and the linkback are left intact in the footer. If you like my work and would like to consider some donation, you can do so.

    Hi there. I downloaded your theme, but I’m having a little trouble with it.
    Look http://browsershots.org/screenshots/a7db7790e6eb5dfadd25f75407d3fc93/

    You see how “Mujeres Dove” went like “over” the previous post? How can I prevent that?

    @Juan Manuel :
    Maybe you can fix it by editing the style.css, remove the following code:

    .entry img{float:left;margin:0 10px 1px 0;}

    Let me know if its working or not

    Hi flisterz, yes, I did that… wel.. I just used ‘none’ instead of removeing the whole line. The thing is, what IF I want to use the ‘floating left’ thing but even if the post finishes before the image (my english kinds sucks and it’s a little hard for my to say what I want, I hope you get the idea) all the post metadata and the nex post will be on the bottom of the image insted of next to it.

    Sorry, you said that I should replace the .css, but I think that the problem is in how the theme is working with the loop, right? Doesn’t it has something to do with the ’structure’ of the theme?

    By the way: another bug ^^. When there is more than one line in the dat/author/cats/comments div right below the title, the text overflows insted of resizing the div.

    03 Feb 08 | 3:18 am

    flisterz

    @juan manuel : No, the problem is caused by some floating div. Just replace the style.css file and it should be ok.

    The other bug is also fixed now. You may want to download again -_-

    Hi Flisterz - I have noticed that if in single post view and you click on the “Posted By” link nothing happens. This should pull up all of the authors posts, but doesn’t seem to do anything. What am i doing wrong?

    Just a tip. The CSS in the file I downloaded, and in your live demo, has a reference to a file that doesn’t exist:

    .intro{
    background: #E1E1E1 url(images/isntrobg.jpg) no-repeat top;

    (http://www.flisterz.com/testrun/wp-content/themes/freicurv%20v2/images/isntrobg.jpg doesn’t exist)

    Hi Flisterz. First of all, maybe you don’t understand my poor english. Well, my unique problem with your template, is when i put a image, and i want to put it in the middle, but the height of the image is smaller than the width of the entry, the text begins inmediatly after the image,
    and the image is not centered. See a example entry and you’ll understand me. Thanks and greetings.

    @juan manuel : there is no image for that actually. i forgot to remove it from the css -_- sorry for that

    @francisco : it is suppose to act like that because I wrap text around images. if you dont like that, you can change it in style.css
    .entry img {
    float:left;
    margin:0pt 10px 1px 0pt;
    }

    remove that float:left; and u’ll be ok.

    Hello Flisterz! I’m a fan of your Freicurv theme. Now I’m using 2.0 I encountered a problem when using Peter’s Custom Anti Spam. The verification image actually appears twice in the comment area: one after the info fields and another one after the message field. :( I tested it with Freicurv 1.0 and it worked fine. Please help. Thanks.

    @Rome: it depends on how you want it to appear. Maybe you can try a simple solution.
    open style.css. look for this:
    #sidebarwrap {
    float:right;
    margin:-30px 0pt 0pt;
    width:400px;
    }

    change the value -30px to 0px.

    I also have a small issue with the CSS used. In topics where I use the nextgen gallery singlepic display, the image will overlap the “tag” info bar. In addition, the links to the next and previous topics are displayed besides the image instead of below. (example: http://hot.symbiosys.be/2008/02/14/chicas/)

    I’ve been trying to solve this in the CSS but no luck and I’m out of options.

    Is there somebody else who can search for a possible solution?

    and last but far from least, a big thanks for this wonderful theme.

    Hi, I’ve just downloaded the 2.0 release. The option float:left is still present in .entry img. I would like to introduce also a little add to your stylesheet to have a more “distinguished” code in the post: in style.css I modify the code entry as following:
    code{
    font-size:12px;
    display:block;
    border:1pt;
    margin:10px 10px 10px 10px;
    border-color:#909090;
    border-style:dashed;
    background-color:#f0f0f0;
    }

    This is an example of the result: http://www.lemiefrequenze.org/blog/?p=4

    Hi flisterz,
    I did not consider style.css because of the class of img tag. I take a look to the page source and every gravatar has got the class “avatar avatar-xx” where xx is the $size set into the get_avatar function.

    @Mirko G:
    Okay I just checked your site. If you want to style the gravatar, add this to style.css.
    #comments img.avatar {
    border:1px solid #666;
    padding:1px;
    }

    *for example only. You can add more properties to it.
