FREE WordPress Theme – THAT Simple

Posted on Oct 20, 2009 by Rich to General

THAT Agency has brought a couple of themes to the WordPress Theme Directory like “THAT golf Theme“, “THAT Music Theme” and now “THAT Simple“.

Why THAT Simple?

THAT Simple was developed to promote clean lines and a sense of clarity. Its not bogged down with a bunch of features that most people might not use, instead we opted to create a clean, simple and sophisticated look. Minimalism is the fore-front of this theme, but its rich features will enable ease of use from hard core bloggers to those beginners looking for something easy they can understand.

What features does THAT Simple have?

Well for one, it does have the ability to support widgets, which is a really good thing to have. The theme is also extremely simple to customize based on your needs. Through the admin:

The theme logo

Simply paste the URL of your logo in the text area and save.

The header banners (based on site section)

Simple add the location of the images and the theme takes care of the rest in resizing the image.

Ads can all be customized.

This is great when you want to try to make a couple of dollars off of your blog. Simple copy the location of the image, and the the link location and that would be it.

That simple didn’t have to look that simple too. I like the top part. But the bottom part lacks.

Is it multi-language-enabled?
Do you support mo-files?
THAT would be great!

Connie, I am sure they are probably some plugins in WordPress that you can use to do what you would like. Or is it that you like the theme and you want us to add that functionality with it?

Just installed the theme, looks really nice! Love the fact that I can insert the banners easily again when I have some sponsors.
It´s a danish site for jazzmusicians. Is there a plugin that helps me translate the few words stiull in english?

How do I remove the XHTML-options for comments? Think they confuse my target audience…

Thanks for the theme!

Anders, thanks for your comment. If you want to remove the whole section where it says “XHTML: blah blah”, open up comments.php in the theme folder, go to line 95 and you should see this:

<p><small><strong>XHTML:</strong> You can use these tags: <code><?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></code></small></p>

Just go ahead and comment that line out and you will not see it when your users are logged in want to comment.

Hey Patrick! yours is a little different. the sponsor ads that you want to remove all together are all located in the themes folder in a file called: ad250×250.php

You can open that file up in the themes editor and do 1 of 2 things.

1. You can just comment out all the code that is on that file.

2. You can just delete all the info that is in that file. (just keep a backup of the code, just in case you would like to have the ads again later on).

Hey guys, your WP themes are great. But I’m curious- what licence are they released under?

Comment By: Rich

Hey George. According to Wordpress themselves, all themes that are posted on wordpress should be 100% GPL or compatible. Hope that helps.

Ok tnx very much! I really like the theme.

Is there a way to manage the rest of the right hand side menus (widgets(?))?

Hey guys…this is a great free theme, one of the better ones that I’ve stumbled across. But I’m curious; why no link to comments at the bottom of a post? I don’t like that our visitors have to click on the permalink for the post to see an option to leave comments.

Comment By: Rich

November 30th, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Hey Xanthippas, Do you mean the “comment(s)” link that pop up?

Comment By: Xanthippas

November 30th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Yes sir. Been messing with my site this afternoon and I can’t seem to figure out how to make that link show up at the bottom of a post on the front page.

Yes. I’ve been playing around with it, but I can’t seem to figure out a way to get the comment link to show at the bottom of posts on the front page.

Sorry…came back to visit and didn’t see my comment from yesterday, so I re-posted. Don’t mean to spam you.

Hey Xanthippas. Took a look around, and here is the code you could add to the theme itself for the comment piece you want.

<?php comments_popup_link('Leave a comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>

I believe that should work.

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

I´m trying to make the number of comments on each post visable from the front page, is that what you are talking about with Xanthippas?

If it´s the possiblility to make a comment from the front page, I´m still interested!

The code you provide, where should I put it?
again, thanks for a nice theme!

Yes it is Anders.

You would place it where you would like to see it. For example, on your site you could place it in:

Lets say you want it where the tags are right? in the index.php file in the theme folder, you can look for line 42-44 and replace that code to this:

<p class="postmetadata">
<?php the_tags( 'Tags: ',', '); ?> | Category <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Leave a comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>
</p>

And that will add the number of comments to that line. I added it to the demo on our site, you can check it out here:

See adding comment link to tag, cat line

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that´s more like it! You can see it on my site (translated).

Is it possiple to get it up higher, and make it more in-your-eyes? I´m thinking a bit like the tweet-button I have on my blog. Or maybey there´s a plugin for that?

Cheers

I love this theme and have had great feedback on my blog. But today I was told that it was only displaying my most recent post and no sidebar when viewing in Internet Explorer. Is this a common problem or is it something I’ve done?

Comment By: Rich

Thanks B.Hobbs. Might you have removed that function from your admin piece in the widget section?

You can see the demo here: http://www.thatagency.com/THATthemes/

I saw recent posts in IE7 and 8.

What version of IE are you running and on what OS?

thanks again.
