Celebrific - Gossip City - WordPress Theme Release

Posted on: Thursday, Oct 11, 2007

Tags: , , , , ,

Yes we did it after the so many requests.

The Gossip City theme is ready for download.

Enjoy.

@Celebrific

Gossip City is a theme for WordPress created by Design Disease. The theme was created based on what people would want to see from a gossip blog.

Gossip City - WordPress Theme Release

Theme
Once you’ve downloaded the theme and extracted the files, upload the folder to your wp-content/themes/ directory. Next, go to the ‘Presentation’ area in your WordPress administration panel and activate the theme.

Plugins
I’ve included the following plugins with the theme (in the plugins folder):

  1. flickrrss
  2. wp_gravatar

Just upload everything in the plugins folder to your wp-content/plugins/ folder and activate the plugins from the ‘Plugins’ page in your administration panel. The plugins are customised to match Gossip City theme.

Logo
By default, the theme displays your Web site’s title and description in the header. If you want to replace that with your logo, it’s easy to do. If you look at the Logo Instructions.txt you will see how easy it is to change the logo. PSD Source for the logo is also included.

License
This theme, like all themes released by Bloggy Network are released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License. Please keep the credit and the links from the footer.

The theme is Widget Ready.

Enjoy.

Deactivate WP-PageNavi from the plugins directory and it will work.

Just download the Automatic Widget.

You can install it then tweak the code a little. Instructions are pretty easy.

Hi Elena!
I really really love this layout. Thank you sooooooo much for releasing it. Please release tons more! :-)

I’ve noticed a few kinks on the layout though, but it’s weird because certain kinks only show up in certain browsers on certain computers. :( Check out my site and see if you can see any on YOUR end. Hopefully, you’ll reply back and let me know. I’m not savvy with this layout stuff, so I’m unable to break down what I see wrong on MY end. I AM noticing though, that the page navigation isn’t showing on my end. It only shows if I click on a category. It doesn’t show when I click on ‘archives’ either. :( BUT…on my internet explorer browser at HOME, it shows up. Weird. (I’m on IE at work right now, and see errors in my footer section as well).

Once again, thanks for releasing this layout! It’s so cute!

Hello, I love this theme and am using it on my blog but am having a problem.

At least once a day the theme will automatically revert back to the default wordpress theme.

This appears to be a well documented issue, and happens with many themes, but no one seems to know a fix for it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am using WP 2.2.3 and have tried the obvious; renaming the theme folder to default, deleting all the other themes etc.

Thanks

@Francisco Carle
Nice job with that theme.

@Alex
You aren’t the first user that tell me that. I don’t know what is the solution for this.

@silgitsin
I got your mail and also read your message. I think a widget is larger than the width of that sidebar. Remove widgets one by one to see what is the wrong one.

Elena,

I love your design! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! I have a couple of issues that I’m hoping you can assist with.

1. for some reason whenever I make a change to widgets or style.css (font size, color) I actually have to load a different theme and then reload the Gossip City 2 theme to get them to take effect….any ideas as to why that would be?

2. When I made the changes to style css it made all the appropriate changes to the posting page but didn’t make any difference on the about page at my site http://thespecialparent.com.

I would appreciate any input you or anyone else may have. I am not at all proficient in css or php so I may be missing something obvious.

Thanking you
Kyron

Amazing theme! So well organized and easy to modify.

Seems I’m experiencing the same problem as lukas with regard to the flickr photos in the top right corner. My flickr photos are showing up fine, however, the css doesn’t seem to work. In addition the flickr photos are also larger than the demo site.

Could this have something to do with Flickr RSS? I’m completely frustrated on this one. Any ideas?

Hi there..
Greetings from India!

I am in a process of making a photo-essay blog.
I upload images, but it is difficult to wrap text around it. I can’t keep text at a distance around the image (padding). I use flexible upload plugin to upload the images. I also upgraded the Wp to 2.6

See the test image at http://www.abhijitsplanet.com/chitrakatha/?page_id=2

Please guide me.
Thanks.

Hi there. Sorry for digging up this old post…but I’m implement this theme on a new site (and I like it very much!), but the problem I’m having is that when individual pages are viewed in IE, the titles appear to be slightly cut off at the top. I’m sure there is a quick fix but I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Does the Celebrific Gossip city theme not support viewable child pages when you click on the parent? I can’t seem to get it to display child pages.
