WordPress Styles

As far as I know, if someone buys a premium Wordpress theme licensed under a GPL, he/she can redistribute or even resell it. So where can I get those for free? Or does anyone know a place where the premium themes are reselling at a fraction cost of the original price?

Yes. Premium Wordpress themes that are released under GPL license give you the freedom to redistribute and resell them. If it is too expensive for you to purchase from the original source, you can try the following source which give you access to 50+ premium themes at just a fraction of the original price.

Hi,

We have a website and would like to add a light box feature to some of the category pages. We can simply add this in to the post and page entries….is it possible on a category page too?

Most of the premium themes out there cost more than $50. I only have a small budget. If anyone can show me where to get cheap premium Wordpress theme, it would be appreciated.

Indeed, premium Wordpress themes are expensive but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a cheap one. I recently stumbled upon http://www.themescheap.com/ and found out you can purchase over 50 premium Wordpress themes offered by industry’s leading providers. You can get them all at just $39.95!

I am looking for one that enables me to cutomise things, such as including my own logo design and using it as a header/title. I’d also like widgets such as Twitter. Thanks.

What’s best is pretty subjective, as it depends on a variety of factors. I can tell you which services are popular (besides Blogger & Wordpress), which MAY fulfill the requirements that you’ve stated:

Livejournal (http://livejournal.com ), Vox (http://vox.com ), Typepad (http://typepad.com ), Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com/ )

Also, you may want to check out http://blog-services-review.toptenreviews.com/ which provides a listing of top services and features (excluding Y!360 from the blog list).

I’m trying to upload a customized Wordpress theme and I keep getting this error when I try to activate the theme:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/t/r/e/tremak/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/brown_theme/index.php on line 4

——————————————————–

Line 4 is where my PHP code begins ****

I put the asteriks there to show where Line 4 is
Also: I’m using the book, "Wordpress 2.7 Complete" by April Hodge Silver to help me with this. I got to up to page 134 and ran into this problem.

Was there a reason that the asterisks were there?

Found your problem.

<link rel="pingback"

<?php wp head(); ?>

Try that. It ran off on mine and did the usual Yahoo Answers … deal and caused the Doctype to run into the head and style tags. Neither of my programs (WeBuilder 2010, DreamWeaver CS4, or WeBuilder 2008) gave me a syntax error on it. I <3 WP too!

I’ve made my own custom theme in wordpress. Everything as far as being able to comment works fine, it’s just that no matter what i do now, the comments refuse to paginate. I’ve tried going to the "…/wp-admin/options-discussion.php" page to fix the problem but it just doesn’t show up. I’ve tried using a plug-in to help, but they take away the formatting and style I have for each comment post.

it there anything I can do to my theme’s "comments.php" file to have it successfully paginate and still keep the styling? Thanks ahead of time.

PS I have the latest version of wordpress.

Paginated comments is a standard feature of the 2.8.4 Wordpress version.
All you have to do is go to Settings / Discussion from your dashboard.
There you have to check whatever options you need in the second paragraph "other comment settings"
Happy blogging!
