Finally after weeks of work my little jewel is out and I really love it. It is sooo simple and intutive you tend to forget how many features it actually has. My initial idea was to create a theme that has typography polished to perfecction so that artistic minded people would love it – hopefully they will=)

Who is Inuit? – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit

As said before theme has so many features I will just provide you a link to full list, but nevertheless here are some of theme that make this theme unique:

Custom translations of all blog areas
SEO like nowhere else – seriously – try it and you’ll see
Big Fat ‘About my Blog’ Area
Simple Pagination
Header / Footer Scripts Management
Fully Widgetized Sidebar
Left or Right-Hand Sidebar by your choice
Featured Entries
One or Two column entries on front-page
WP 2.7 full comaptibility

Enough said, explore it for yourself and subscribe to my feed if you’re interested in my next online project!

I meant getting the author of the post stated on the main preview screen with the post excerpts? Like getting the author name under the post title or maybe beside the date?

I’m clueless when it comes to CSS, but is there a way to designate a featured post rather than have it automatically highlight the latest ones?

  @Frank – I’m not offering this features anymore as WP has it by default. Where? How? – when you publish post you have option to stick a post to the front page. Do that for post you wish to have at top and then just check the number of featured posts you wish to appear on front page (in theme settings).

Thanks so much for your wonderful wordpress theme. I’m a novice with wordpress, but am slowly, but surely making headway into blogging. My main, and so far only, problem that I’ve been having with your inuit-types theme, is that my images which are included in posts won’t show up on my front page. Only after you click the post link from the front page, will it take you to the post where the image is included. Is there a simple solution I am overlooking? Also, I cannot get my images to size as cleanly as your demo shows. When I’m using the option of “full size,” the border of the image overlaps the theme’s border and looks relatively unattractive. I hope these aren’t too silly of questions, but I feel if I could get these issues under control, I could really get my blog to take off. You’ll be able to see examples of what I’m referring to at the website address I’ve included. Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Željan, grettings from Paris, France!
Your theme is just AWESOME.
I’m a newbie, an absolute beginner with Wordpress, but at the very first moment I saw your work, I knew I was right to start a new blog.
I just have a little problem, pretty much like Andrew, with images: if I insert one in my post and then paste the link, I have two images in my final post. And when I do not insert the image (just paste the link), the preview works fine, but the image is not centered in the final post when I open it for reading.
Anyway, thanks again, you rock. Really.
Meci beaucoup 😉

I find this theme very well created, but after I installed it on the individual post viewing page there was an error with comments displaying.

A missing function being reported by PHP.

Any ideas why this is?

Would appreciate if you could email this explanation to me at jason [at] flexewebs.com

Thanks and great work!

  You probably have WP version that doesn’t support threaded comments (under 2.7) so upgrade and it should help.

I am having trouble getting the ‘image’ in featured posts (both on home page and single post) to show up.

I have adjusted the CHMOD on the cache folder as recommended, but that does not work. Is there any other possible change that I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

  Few possible solutions:
  
  * you must upload images to your blog to show up
  * you need to paste full path to your image in custom field provided
  * you need to chmod your cache folder
  * only gif, jpg and png image formats allowed

    + Uploaded using WP’s image upload tool.
    
    + Using full path, example: http://www.mydomain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/
    
    + chmod’ed the cache folder up to 777
    
    + pictures are gif and jpg
    
    Might there be a plugin that is conflicting?

      Only other possible problem is with your hosting provider, send them email with this content:
      
      – add following rules [ 1234234,340151 ] to mod_security for
      http://yoursite.com/. Please whitelist for the domain.
      – Please check why my script timthumb for image resizing isn’t working
      
      I hope it works,… hostgator users usually have problems with timthumb script for auto resizing images

Željan, In this theme of a picture (through any fields) are inserted above the text. They cannot be put at the left or on the right so that the text “flowed round” them. That is any such picture hangs over the text, on the right. The big blank turns out. If the photo 300×300 pixels, for example, that to the text is emptiness in these most 300 pixels. If the photo on width of 600 pixels then all is well looked as it on width is equal to a text column and in this case is not present emptiness. How to make what there were no blanks if the small picture (less than 600 pixels) is inserted? For example as in Igloo.

  I get this question really a lot and from experience, most usual problems are:
  
  cache’ folder in theme files not being set to 777.
  Second most usual problem is that images are not being uploded to blog or are not inserted correctly into custom field named ‘image’.
  Third most usual problem is that images are being to large or too small.
  and Fourth most usual problem is with hosting provider. Ask them to add following rules [ 1234234,340151 ] to mod_security for your domain.
  
  Inform us how it went, cheers

Hi, i’m using your excellent theme on my website http://www.insideleft.net. I have one question however – is it possible to limit the number of posts on the front page to, say, 4? I know that a construct like

?php query_posts(“showposts=2&category_name=(“); $i = 1; ?>

would work, but I cant see how I can fit that into this theme. any help gratefully received!

Hi
Great theme which I am using over at http://www.blog.tropicalismo360.com.
I am experiencing a problem with the AddThis plugin. On my blog home page I get the text below after the post summary text:
var addthis_pub = ”; var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ’email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’;
Is this a known problem / any solution??

thanks

  This probably hapens if you insert AddThis buttons inside content on fron page. Theme has excerpted content on front which transforms all links, buttons and stuff like that into plain text.
  
  In case you want AddThis to work perfectly open index.php file, find this code: echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), ''); and replace it with this one: echo get_the_excerpt();.
  
  Hopefully it works, if not contact me in my email.

Great theme! I’m having trouble with Google however. My Webmaster account informs me that the my website using the inuit theme is not indexed? I’ve combed the web looking for help…found some, but nothing seemed to apply to my situation… Link to one help source: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/204415

Would it matter that my index file (at the root level) redirects to my wordpress folder? I’ve heard too many redirects are skipped by crawlers..?

Anyway, maybe you have some ideas. Thanks a bunch.

Hi, I’ve made a small change to the template to show an excerpt in the featured post (have a look at the site, http://www.insideleft.net to see what I mean).

Now, the only thing is that the line spacing in the title text is too close when the title is too long and it flows over onto a second line. Is there a way to increase the spacing, and also to put a space between the title and the excerpt text I’ve just added?

Nevals, there’s a setting in Wordpress (so not this theme) that gives you a choice how many posts to show on the home page. I find 7 works well (1 for the big feature post, 6 for the normal posts). It’s under ‘Reading’.

( i actually asked this question on this very same thread a little further up)

Hi Zeljan, my site is having deep conflicts with internet explorer. I’m not a microsoft fan so I use firefox but when trying to acces my blog on explorer half of the entries simply do not show up!
The picture is there, the excerpt on the front page shows up but when you click on the article – nothing – and nothing on every second entry.
On some that do show up this appears below the picture:
Another question.
Is Inuit types compatible with the latest version of wordpress (2.8.4)?
Please advise.

Željan, excellent theme, mate. Cheers!

FWIW, if anyone is having problems getting images to display, even after chmod the cache directory — …/wp-content/themes/inuitypes/cache/ — into 777 and uploading the images via Wordpress, I have a couple suggestions:

1. Try using the “large” version of the image, instead of the original sized image file. It appears that there is some kind of size limit at work that prevents the images from being resized and displaying properly when the original, uploaded image is too large. I’m unsure what that size limit actually is, but that’s what worked for me.

2. If that doesn’t work, and even if it does, it may be a good idea to download the latest version of the timthumb image resizer script (now at 1.09; included version is 1.08) from here:

http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/

You will have to copy-and-paste the code into a plain (ASCII) text editor, save the file as thumb.php, go in your ftp software to …/wp-content/themes/inuitypes/ , rename the current thumb.php file to something else (just in case you need to roll back to it later) and upload the new version in its place.

Lastly, Željan, in the theme download some of the directories include a windows file, Thumbs.db, which is invisible in Windows but shows up on the server. No problem, but you might want to delete them.

Thanks again for all your work. The Settings page sets a new standard for Wordpress developers.

    Hi Željan thanks for the brilliant Inuit Types – it’s my theme of choice after days of searching and comparing themes. But does custom.css actually work? I can’t make it work. Can you give an example that works? I may be way off base here and I’m certainly no expert but in header.php line 28 refers to /custom/custom.css. But there is no custom directory by default is there? I tried adding a custom.css inside a directory called ‘custom’ but that still didn’t work. Thanks

      Update for my last post. Looks like I was right -it’s looking for the file inside a directory called ‘custom’. If I edit a custom.css file in a text editor and upload there it works. Also there is a bug that if I click ‘edit custom.css file here’ in the Customize Your Design section of General Settings I get the error ‘The requested theme does not exist.’ wheras I can edit it via ‘Edit Themes’ ok. (Although this has no actual effect as it is the wrong custom.css that gets edited ie the one loose in ‘inuitypes’ rather than the one in ‘custom’)

I have a question on the images also.
I am uploading the image and it is displaying on the home page as well as in the post.

Is there a way to disable the image from appearing in the post. I want the image to only display on the home page with the excerpt and not in the post page itself.

Sorry for the multiple posts but questions are popping up as I work with the theme.

We like the inuit theme very much and am considering downloading it…we have a question, however, is there anyway to increase the size of the font for the categories along the top? We find them to be terribly small and understated…

Moreover, we are curious to see examples of the theme in use. If you have links that will allow us to see how people have adapted Inuit to suit their needs we would greatly appreciate the info…

Thanks.
