Business Casual WordPress Theme

Business Casual WordPress ThemeI have fin­ished my first theme to release to the Word­Press com­mu­nity. You can see a demo of it. Here are the spec­i­fi­ca­tions on it.

I also want to rec­og­nize the many themes that have influ­enced me includ­ing: Glued Ideas Sub­tle, Squible, Kubrick, and Unsleep­able among oth­ers. They are all great designs! I also built this theme on the Basic Word­Press theme template.

I also used the COM4T Fine Reg­u­lar font in my header image if you wish to cre­ate your own. I would love to see any­one who does use the theme and how they use it.

  3. Hi Chris,

    After spend­ing a whole day look­ing for a nice wp tem­plate some­how I got to your page and I liked a lot your tem­plate. I am a free­lance trans­la­tor and I am set­ting up my web­site to intro­duce my services.

    After installing your tem­plate I noticed that for some rea­son on the first page the for­mat­ting is gone when I pub­lish a post. Is there any solu­tion to this or was this intended? You can check this at fluentrans.net.

  4. @Mindaugas: Do you mean that there are not posts under “Pre­vi­ous Posts” or the for­mat­ting on the posts page?

  5. Hi there,

    I have been play­ing around with this theme but can’t seem to get it to show cat­e­gories; nei­ther on the home page, nor in the actual blog posts. (The same goes for blogroll, archives etc on the home page). Are all these fea­tures dis­abled? Thanks.

  6. @James: Can you show me the code you’re using?

    Chris Poteet on 01.28.08
  7. the code? not too sure… all I do is load the theme in my wp-content/themes folder and then man­age the every­thing using the word­press dash­board. I’m no programmer… ;)

  8. @James: It is in the meta box on the sin­gle post page. If you want to add it else­where you’ll have to edit the PHP with a tem­plate tag.

  9. Any chance we can see the demo please?

  10. I too found Busi­ness Casual after much search­ing and was impressed w/ its sim­plic­ity. I too am a bit baf­fled by the PHP meta tags you ref­er­ence. Could you show your code that includes the PHP tags so that the inter­face looks like the theme pic­ture on the down­load page? (with the 4 cat­e­gories at the top right side of the header)

  11. @David: I’m a lit­tle con­fused on the ques­tion, but I think you’re refer­ring to the nav­i­ga­tion? Those are pages that are added dynam­i­cally when you cre­ate pages. Are you want­ing cat­e­gories up there?

  12. The theme does not work under IE8.
    There is a gap between the page tabs and the page content

  13. Thanks. I haven’t updated it in a while. If you want you can put this in the head of of the header.php file to make it ren­der like IE 7.

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
