Hi, first of all, excellent wp theme. Even better – it is free :)
Second, I have small problem with this theme.
I cannot display small pictures neither in category page nor in post page …
At live demo it looks like
http://www.iimmgg.com/image/5d5a15c87ca2a516d25f8c256b0995f3
But at my site it is
http://www.iimmgg.com/image/82228d53a89d204dc50bdaad4f5e0df6
So, there are no image , just plain text and it looks pretty ugly that way XD
I would be grateful if you can tell me what I’m doing wrong or what I should enable in options and where to put these small images.
Greetings from neighborhood – Serbia :)
Hello Darko check your e-mail! (the one you provided in the comment)
Si eu aceiasi problema..cu pozele…si thumbnail-urile…Care e duma?
Ti-am trimis si tie e-mail.
Hello,
When I activate the theme on my blog it just shows a white page and I have to delete it to see my blog again.. please help!
I also cant get the images to show up. What gives Vlad?
@mike make sure that all files are uploaded correctly.
@iAreCow please read the instruction (readme file) all the informations are there.
Thanks.
Sorry, didn’t notice readme before. Got it now.
free ?
Hi,
Thanks for the nice them. Unfortunately, after activating it, I got a white page!
Any suggestion for what might be causing that?
Thanks
Make sure all files are uploaded correctly.
Hi,
I think I’ve got the same problem as everyone else with the images. I’ve filled in correctly the Custon field but the thumbnail doesn’t show
Read the readme file, you did something wrong.
Make sure that the custom field name is “thumb” and the value “yoursite.com/path/to/thumbs/1.png” or “path/to/thumbs/1.png” without quotes.
External links won’t work.
hi Vlad, first let me thank you. you have made a very beautiful theme for me. and I apologize for my english not very good, I was Indonesia, and these people use google translate client services.
I beg permission to use the theme you unyuk I’ve downloaded, and allow me to modify it.
Please help him.
like where do I enlarge the font size in the post. because by default it is too small for the indo.
I think that’s all. and again I thank you.
Hi Meyrda just open up style.css and search for .post p and change the font-size to whatever suits you best.
Chears!
ok, thanks Vlad. I have done and succeeded. success always Vlad!
Great one, will give it a try for sure.
Thanks!
Hi Vlad, for a while I have been very successful and it makes me really happy to have just a known and tried to play wordpress. yes …. This is the first time I learned to wordpress and hosting, and learn to edit a theme Wordpres. really fun.
please visit my blog at http://www.meynova.co.cc prime.
thank you Vlad. maybe you have another source theme please give me a chance to learn to edit contact me via email, because I am very interested. thanks again sekai
hi, first of all thanks for this free thanks, i am already using this the past 2 weeks, i just only have one problem right now since the beginning.
when I am inserting images to my post, it automatically has a wrapping text when it was publish.
I want to have the image appear without any text wrapping around it, how can i do this?
Hi Mars, I don`t see any wrapping text in your posts…can you give me a screenshot?
I love this theme. Thank you so much for keeping it free! :)
I’m having a problem, when I modify a setting in the cleanPRESS options, the blog goes crazy and I can’t see the posts… I have to reset it to work…deci?
Give me more info, when you change what option?
here is the screenshot of my problem http://www.orphicpixel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wrapping.png
the text that should appear right below the images is moved as a wrapping text to the right side of the image, I made my post to have a 550px width of images to get rid of this problem, but what about if i am going to post a small image and i want the test to be below the image, hope to hear from you
Hello
Can you please translate the cleanPRESS Theme into the German language?
Thanks
Florian
Sorry, we don`t know German. If you want, you can translate it but only if you`ll keep everything intact.
Hello
My English is not very good. And when I translate it, I don’t know what is a php tag and what not.
It’s free. certainly deserve a beer. is perfect.
This is a great theme. Thanks. I have one problem though.
The Sidebar width changes between using Firefox and Explorer which makes my google ads look bad. I’ve been playing around with the css but can’t find a solution.
Any clues? My website is thanetmedia.com.
Thanks
Oh yeah, damn I can see it…that old bastard…
Have you tried to give the sidebar more width? (As I remember, the sidebar was larger…)
People should stop using IE 6.
hello i cant put thumbnails on my post it dont show on the interface it keeps giving me unloaded picture sign …
is there anything i should do first
“Getting the Thumbnail is easy, go to Add Post or Edit Post scroll down to Custom Fields and add a new Custom Field called “thumb” without Quotes and the value should be pathtoimage/image.gif or yoursite.com/pathtoimage/image.gif“
well thats good but dont u think that this process is hard to follow i mean in terms of making a quick post this will take some time to adjust ur image to gif then add the custom filed .. why cant it take a thumb. from the post directly
another thing in the feature box i dont think that the sliding of txt from outside the feature box is a good visual idea its one of few stuff i found bad on the theme … and the theme it self is amazing it really is thank you very much
@said hassan you can use .jpg, .png, .gif etc for the thumbnail and you can just take the image link from the post but only if is local hosted. (remove the http://) It takes like 5 seconds I think is easy.
And about the slide, you can modify the CSS file to fit your needs.
I cannot get the theme to upload, its says a style sheet is missing
Could not copy file /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/cleanPRESS-theme/cleanPRESS-theme/cleanPRESS/404.php

Hi,
Is it possible to show the full posts on the main/home page?
Thanks for the theme!
It seems the Twitter Counter is causing my site to fail. The function ‘getFollowers’ is not working because my hosting provider has URL File Access turned OFF in the server configuration.
functions.php – line 41
perhaps checking to see if it’s enabled/disabled would be a solution?
thx man !
if you can check please what is causing the problem http://www.orphicpixel.com/2010/01/16/11-colorful-website-design/ when ever i insert image, I cannot insert with one paragraph between, I already insert a code manually but it doesnt take effect
Great theme. Thanks this theme. Thank you very very much. :)
Hi.
I have uploaded the theme, but the poems of the main page seems ordinary. That is, someone can’t determine this is poem or not. How can I correct this mistake?
Pleace, help me…
Awesome theme man, this is better than 95% of the expensive themes out there. Shocked this is free! I am setting it up on my site now.
Quick Q – is there a way to change the amount of time between the featured posts changing. Default seems to be each post is shown for 3 seconds, I would like to increase that a little. Had a look in the code but couldn’t find anything.
Great theme man. I was using it on a site, and I was wondering, is there a way to set default thumbnails for categories? So that suppose I don’t add an image, it shows the default of the category.?
Also, is there a way to remove the thumbnail feature itself, so it doesn’t show in any of the pages, including the home and the archive..
Thanks,
Tanay
Thanks for this template, I am using it on my site now.
Hmm, the theme doesnt have page indexing automatically. When i have more posts than fit on one page, there is no way to find the oldest posts from the front page:(
Hi Vald, I have a problem with your theme. Are you able to give me some answers?

“Fatal error: Call to a member function removeChild() on a non-object in /home4/assimque/public_html/wp-content/themes/cleanPRESS/functions.php on line 35″
