Very nice theme! But they have a bug with accents (é, è, etc) in H2 title… they don’t appear…!
Maxime
hello
Any questions, bugs, etc ?
No bugs, Thank you !
but a need your theme (the theme in your site)
can you sent it to me ?
Ups, I forgot the download link. Post updated.
@Maxime: I use Cufon for Dynamic Text Replacement and special characters are not displayed.
I’ll try to find a elegant solution in the next version.
Now, you can edit cufon.js from js folder and remove or comment last line.
Cufon.replace('h2', { fontFamily: 'Myriad Pro' });Thanks!
Hello, can you help me with the header? If I delete the last line the title and the blog will get strange, and you other solution doesn’t work.
Thanks.
Header = Titles, sorry.
I delete the last line on the file. Sorry Again.
What do you mean with “get strange”. Screenshot please.
Really sorry about this mess but its working now. I deleted the last line and it was good, it’s strange while the page loads but nothing serius.
Keep up the awesome work! ;)
“strange while the page loads” – background image load slowly? Fixed in 1.1.3 (soon)
thanks for the theme! :-)
how can I have a home button?
Hey,
is there a way to make the theme useable for th egerman language? I don’t mean localisation, i mean, that the typical german letters äöü are not display in the headlines.
Yes, you can enable Cufon extra or disable it from Theme Admin Panel.
can’t use unicode in post header
te rog sa ma scuzi, acum am vazut articolul :)
this is a beautiful theme , thanks share:)
but I have a little question, if I want to use my font to replace your default font, how shoud I do??(I already have a font.js)
I try to rename my font.js , or edit functions.php , there’s no work :(
Hi, the theme is great. But if i switch to excerpts mode by changing “” for “” in index.php, the posts become completely blank when I click on them!
I’m a bit of a newbie with wordpress so maybe I’m doing something wrong. (But this works with other themes usually).
See you
Nice theme, how do we change the header to a custom image?
nice theme… only one question: why don’t you enable the paginated comments function?
Hi, there.
What a fantastic theme! Thanks for sharing.
How can I send you the Simplified Chinese package? I guess some one would like to have it.
Well, there’s a bug or something? I cannot disable Cufon. It doesn’t work after I click the button from Theme Option Panel. I had to delete the 3 JS files…
Hi Andrei,
I noticed a few people asked the same question I have but I haven’t seen a reply. How do we change the header to a custom image?
Thanks!
Greg Patrick
Hi guys,
Now I’m working on 1.6 – No sprites (!!!), transparent backround, header image, post author, and a lot of bug fixes.
Hey,
I had a question. For some reason, the top bar of mine (next to the search bar) can only show 3 links to pages. Is there any way I can change it to 5 or more links?
@Michael
There is no page limit, only space limit.
Also, child pages are not supported (yet) in top bar.
Anyway, update to latest version please.
Hello. Love your theme. I’m using it with Lightbox Plus and running in to a bit of an issue. When the images pop up, there are scroll bars visible that should not be there. This only seems to happen with your theme, not the others that I have tried.
Any experience with this?
Thanks much.
Andrei,
Just installed and wrote about your theme in my newest blog’s first post. Check it out: http://wordpressipedia.com/wordpress-themes/lightword-wordpress-theme/
Can’t wait to see your next WordPress Theme. Keep up the great work.
Thank you James, great post!
I’m not sure if your domain is ok. Did you read this?
http://wordpress.org/about/domains/
You should supply the source for the header or make it so you can either show the RSS image in the header or not…
Alex
Hi!
I believe that I find a little bug in the theme.
I’m a brazillian, so I often use accents in characters like “á”, “ç”, “í” and others. And the image threatment made by theme dont handle these type os chars, excluding him from the title.
Se a screenshot of the problem: http://renanvieira.net/Stuff/lightword-theme-problem.png
If u want a see a post with that problem: http://renanvieira.net/blog/index.php/2009/06/os-piratas-esto-chegando-esto-chegando-os-piratas/
I Hope that u can fixed this problem, i like the theme and dont wanna change. =P
Thanks!
Seeya!
[]’s
like this theme a lot…nice work.
Hi,
I stumbled over this theme when looking for a new one. It looks good and can impress with valid xhtml markup! Very well done!
The only thing I miss is support for both tags and categories under the posts!
It would make my day if you could include an option for that into the next version!
Niko
@Niko: Thanks, there’s already a patch for this. Check http://bit.ly/1DcXE
@Renan Vieira: Activate Cufon Extra from theme option panel.
It would be great if a header-image.png (or.psd) image without any text could be added to the package.
Thanks for a great theme !!!
@Andrei: Thank you for your quick response! Your Theme will replace my old theme in a few days :)
I really like your theme, simple and elegant…Nice work!
Can you make the layout more “editable”? It seems that the entire theme is more or less fixed. It is not easy to change things around without messing up the entire blog.
It would be nice if the following features are added in the next version:
- Custom width layout
- Custom header image
- More Adsense-friendly
Nice theme, but I found this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function post_class() in /home/tecnodac/public_html/gira/wp-content/themes/lightword/index.php on line 4
Bye!
@Ricardo Moran: You’re using an old version of Wordpress, bug fixed in 1.7.3
@cywhiz: Thanks for your suggestions, custom width layout is a cool thing.. but require a lot of work.
There are other features planned right now, like nested comments or top bar child pages.
I’m using the WPNG Calendar .0.8.5 as a widget in the sidebar (using the automated widget sidebar) in WP v.2.8.1.
I fixed the widget php file to correct the title size from H2 to H3 to match the theme. (line 270 in wpng-calendar.php) Problem is that an extra title box appears above the Box where the title appears. The source code shows an extra tag… I’m stumped. Any ideas?
Would be nice if theme supported threading comments so you can reply to a comment.
@Jesse: I don’t know, did you test it in other themes?
@Stefan: I’m working on that.
很棒，这款模板。
Thanks for the fast reply Andrei. I found that the problem is with the google calendar widget. Anyone interested can find the solution here: http://code.google.com/p/wpng-calendar/issues/detail?id=43&q=title
Awesome theme — Thanks!
Awesome theme!
thanks and very well done, I love this theme, and I got 2 questions for you
1) I tried to insert my logo on top but it is a little too big, when I insert it , the cuts the logo into half (mine is 200X 100), is there a way to lower the body section a little?
2) Is there a way to make the body section wider? because I want to use larger/wider images into my blog without having them cut on the right side.
为什么顶部的博客标题、左侧的时间、及页面的标题都无法显示？
I create a Brazilian Portuguese language file but i dont no how to make it work.
I try to rename the files to default.mo and default.po but nothing change.
How can i install the language file?
Hi Andrei, I installed your theme on my site last night. Its really well done and looks great. I made a small change to the font used for post content. As per GPL I have published my copy of the theme on Github: http://github.com/wezm/lightword/
My side bar disappears when I go to an article’s page and when I try to view my comments…
Any suggestions?
I included a link for you to see what I mean…
@RubixCube: You’re using an old version of Wordpress.
Thank you so much for the speedy response…all is working just fine now!
Beautiful theme!!
Andrei can you please post a method in reponse to “how to insert our own header logo? Thanks
@Edward Wong: Well, right now are some fixed dimensions (600×56 px) due to layout issues.
Fixed in 1.7.6
Hi Andrei
Nice work :) I have one question how do I exclude or include pages from top nav bar? I’ve tried the usual include/exclude parameters but they don’t seem to work?
Cheers
Paul
nice theme,nice work.
ths very much!
Excellent theme!
I made a slight modification on my end though, instead of using bloginfo(url) for your home page links, I have updated the theme to use bloginfo(home) when in reference to the home button and sub section header blog title link.
The reason I did this was because I have a subdomains plugin that makes the category a subdomain. With that plugin enabled, the home button will not work accurately because the base url is not my home url.
Salut Andrei, felicitari pentru tema.
Am (avut) o mica problema, insa: sidebar-ul se duce sub content. Un float:left; pe #content-body mi-a rezolvat (cel putin mie) problema.
@Adi: Multumesc.
Stiu despre acea problema cu sidebar-ul, am corectat-o aseara dar este inca sub moderare pe wordpress.org
Vroiam sa scap de float din diferite motive dar se pare ca nu am reusit.
Hi, i did czech translate for this themes. If you want, i can send it ;)
@sirdemoncze: Sure, use contact form.
Thanks.
Andrei, is there a way to automatically redirect users that somehow get a “page not found”
I want to send them to my homepage but im not sure how. Ive found the text PHP that is displayed
” ”
I have edited that but i cannot get it to redirect to my homepage.
Thanks for all your hard work this theme is GREAT
Hey Andrei,
Today my blog started freaking out!
Can you help me fix this bug (i’m using the lightword theme)…
ok, the first 2 posts in my blog are all fine… but every one after that the ‘Title’, the ‘Date’ and the ‘Comment Count’ are buggy….
i’ve uploaded an image to show you what i mean:
http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww346/pdbruyn/lightword_blog_bug.gif
also you can go to the blog yourself to check it out…
http://www.ex-back-reviews.com/blog/posts/
Please help me fix this, it’s driving me insane..
thank you..
Pete.
@GB:
Sure, create a php file called 404 (404.php) in theme folder with:
< ? header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url')); exit(); ?>@Pete:
Probably you have some unclosed tags in this post:
http://www.ex-back-reviews.com/blog/video/how-to-get-my-ex-back-how-to-train-your-man/
@Andrei
THANKS! you’re exactly right… fixed it!
is it possible to switch out the search bar at the top right to a google searchbar, but keep the same design?
awesome theme btw
Great theme, i love it. Thanks a lot for creating it and sharing it for free as wordpress is. I’m using it on my blog now, thanks you.
Hey man, I love your wordpress theme, but I am having troubles using it. Whenever I enable your theme, none of my posts are displayed and I get an error saying:
Warning: Parameter 1 to update_comment_type_cache() expected to be a reference, value given in \wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166
However when I am using any other theme, it works fine. Could you please let me know of a solution? I would love to be able use your theme as its brilliantly made…
@Drumster: Please provide more detailed information via email (contact form).
Sent you details via contact form
@Gibbylol: In the next version, yes.
I just want to take the time to say thanks to you for your work and for taking your time to help troubleshoot these errors found. Thanks Again!
Hi, i have the same problem like Drumster (Warning: Parameter 1 to update_comment_type_cache() expected to be a reference, value given in /users/fonduee/www/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166) :(

Awesome theme! I have a problem with comments. For some reason, I’m not given the option to post comments even though is NOT disabled in the theme nor posts options. Please help.
Felicitari! Ne-a placut tema ta asa ca am decis sa o folosim si noi pentru mica noastra enciclopedie de intrebari “cum fac sa…”, “cum sa fac…”
Keep up the good work! :)
Brilliant Theme. I have seen many good free and “premium” themes but this one really stands out. Thanks for your excellent work, can’t wait to see more of your themes.
Nice theme.
Here is my contribution, the pt_BR localization file.
Editable PO File: http://www.box.net/shared/jg7zhiu7ax
Compiled MO File: http://www.box.net/shared/v0pnoik3h8
But I have suggestions too:
- Allow to exclude pages from front menu (I “hack” this by myself)
- 100% valid XHTML (there is empty when the number of posts is lower than the per page limit). Again, I “hack” by myself adding a & nbsp; (without space) inside them.
@ALL: Thanks.
@Fonduee: Please update to latest version via theme settings.
@Ronny: URL please?
@Bruno: Thanks for your contribution, please give me more details about the second suggestion.
I don’t know if will appear correctly, but, here we go.
First issue:
I change the original function lw_wp_list_pages() to this:
function lw_wp_list_pages($excludePages=array()){
global $lw_show_categories;
// Change #1
$exclude=(!empty($excludePages)?’&exclude=’ . implode(’,', $excludePages):”);
if ($lw_show_categories == “true”) {
# Change #2
$top_list = wp_list_categories(’echo=0&depth=1&title_li=’. $exclude);
$top_list = str_replace(array(’”>’,”,’‘,’‘,’‘,’‘,’‘,’‘,’<a class="s"'), $top_list);
return $top_list;
}
}
I added an array param and made three changes in the code.
Second isue:
In index.php, almost in the end of file there is:
To solve the XHTML issue, you should put the & nbsp; (without space) entity before the PHP open-tag, inside the span.
And, another suggestion,maybe you consider to make support to some usefull plugins natively, like Category Icons, WP-Print, WP-Ratings and etc (created by Lester Gamez Chan).
They requires just one more extra line and will work only if the respective function exist.
Hey, just like to say first. Great theme! Currently using it on my website.
I have noticed a small problem with the latest version of the theme. The background image ’submit_btn.png’ is not showing therefore the submit is white text on white background and can’t be seen. Added to the support forums on wordpress.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/299266?replies=1
Can you tell me how I would change the font color/type and background color when using the
tag?Also can you tell me where I should put my favicon on my server, this site's root is /var/www/site1
Is it possible to change the background and the header image with this theme?
thanks for theme
but I’ve seen some kind of magic, that cyrillic letters don’t appear at title of message in blog.
I can show a place in html-code where this problem appears.
How can I add twitter to my header where the description is? I have tried adding it manually, but since some of my tweets have URL’s in them,it makes them bigger.
@Mike: Thanks, I’ll try to fix this in the next version.
@relegated:
You can add a new line in style.css, should look like this:
code{color:#000;font-family:Courier;}@dom: Yes.
@Anthony: Try to disable Cufon from theme settings.
URL is http://www.itnstuff.com
Thanks!
do you think you can include a dropdown menu? that would be great.
just upgraded to the latest version of lightword.
everything working as it should (the submit button for comments displaying ok here).
still a great theme :)
Hello, how I can change the comments to justification (with hyphenation)?
Big Thnx!!
I donate to you tomorrow!
Luca, thanks for the brilliant theme.
Just wondering, is it possible for me to include certain posts and categories in the menu bar? This would help me tremendously! Thanks.
Took me an hour to fix…
I would load wordpress with the theme installed and the page would download for three minutes and all I would get was a white screen. Anyone else with the problem can fix it like this (comment out the lines and add a fake value):
In functions.php, line 116:
#$header_size_height = getimagesize($top_header_image_path);
#$top_header_image_height = $header_size_height[1];
$top_header_image_height = 100;
@Renowned Media: Sorry about that, it’s probably a problem with getimagesize() on your server; fixed in the next version.
@Katzenstreu: I’m not sure I understand, please explain.
@SH: You can add them manually to header.php
How can I activate the post-time of the entries?
Tim
Is it possible to make the homepage only show a subsection of the post instead of the whole thing?
Andrea: How do i add them manually to header.php? Can you offer me some tips cos I’m not much of a coder myself. :S
oops sorry.. I meant Andrei.. thanks for your help!
@Ronny: It’s not a theme problem, check permalinks configuration.
@Amar Sibia: Yes, you can change
the_content()function from index.php tothe_excerpt()@SH: http://snipt.info/?diff=884
@Katzenstreu: Post time it’s not available on this theme.
Check http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time

Andrei love your work one of the simplest and functional themes for WP, thankyou.
I am having problem using the Google custom search? I have entered in my “cx” value under options but its not diaplaying any Google results?
I have made a wor around by using a side bar widget for the custom search feature but it would be good if the one search form could do the work of both?
Any ideas, do I need to add the CSE code elsehwere?
Thanks again.
I love Your theme !
Thank you so much !
Have a look at : http://www.visitea.com/blog
Errr… I meant, mulţumesc!
Imi place foarte mult tema ta. Se poate adauga in lista de setari posibilitatea de a mari sau micsora latimea de afisare a posturilor? Sau imi poti spune cum as putea-o mari cu 200px … Daca dai click pe link ai sa intelegi ce vreau sa spun. Mersi! Multa bafta in continuare!
Beautiful theme! Thought you should know that it’s being put to good use on a new web magazine called Highly Dope.
Donation on it’s way!
How to change date format for little box where is day on first line and month/year on second line?
change: M/y -> m/y
M format looks terrible in finnish.
thanks for great theme.
Awesome theme! If you can add some more color schemes, it will be great! I noticed one issue in IE6, the footer is not displayed properly, its background image is stretched all the way to the bottom, and it is not possible to click on the links.
Thanks for the fantastic theme Andrei! Without it our site wouldn’t be around. We’ve played around with it a bit, and modified the date tab to the left of the post to display a Digg-like rating button – which we think the theme is perfect for and the reason we chose it!
If anyone’s interested, you can see our site here Thread Rave
Cheers!
Hi. Would I be able to create a custom page template with a different text width than that of the original page template?
Thanks!!!
Thank you Andrei, the configuration of permalinks was causing the problem :). THANKS!
Great Theme thanks alot :)
I love the design
I have problems with your theme :
It’s not including the necessary in the tag…
I’ve been testing with the default theme, it works, and with ligntword, it doesn’t…
The scripts I need (Lightbox for example) are addes by the wp_head(); function in the default theme.
And you do call that function in header.php, but for an unknown reason, it includes some scripts, but not all, so i’m missing those lines from JQueryLightbox….
Can you help me, because I don’t understant why the wp_head() would not work the same way with LightWord and the default theme…
feel-free to mail !
Is there a quick way to modify the first (STICKY) post so that the date and # of comments are replaced by just a blank tab or single number?
@Colby: http://u.nu/2k773
@Toxic: Please update to latest version.
excellent
best theme
thanks =)
How do I change the side menu? I want to get rid of the “Blogroll” and “Meta” sections.
Also, the date format with the “Month/09″ is a little ugly in my opinion. Is that format editable at all?
Thanks Andrei, incredible work!
