WordPress Theme Sirup

Download // See Demo // Read FAQ

Update: Thanks to the work of Wolforg and Sharon, Sirup is now also available in French and Hebrew!

Sirup is a magazine and blog layout for WordPress 2.5 and above. It has a fixed width, is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, supports Gravatars and Sidebar Widgets. You can customize the appearance of your site with an options page (that means you don’t have to edit PHP files).

• Choose between magazine and blog layout
• Set which categories to appear on frontpage
• Amount of comments / posts / tags to show underneath
• Choose to have a lead story or not
• Set a default width for thumbnails
• Change fonts, sizes etc.

All features are explained in detail in Sirup’s FAQ. (Read the FAQ, it’s a manual on how to create lead stories, how to find the right category IDs, how to insert thumbnails etc.)

Browser compatibility
As noted before, Sirup is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I’ve tested it in Firefox 3 (perfect), Opera 9 (perfect) and Internet Explorer 6 + 7 (almost perfect, maybe some unremarkable margin issues. No reason to not use this theme.)

Installation
1. Upload the folder “Sirup” to /wp-content/themes/ to get a new folder /wp-content/themes/Sirup/
2. Go to your WordPress administration panel, click the Design tab and choose “Sirup” as your new theme.
3. Go to Sirup’s options page and start customizing.

If you see an almost blank screen in your preview, don’t worry, it will disappear when you activate the theme. (Sorry about that, but the options page only returns values when Sirup is activated.)
