Indy Premium WordPress Theme
Indy Premium is a free theme, with premium features. Like any of my other themes, Indy Premium is easily customizable and you get the maximum control over the theme’s layout. The Footers, Featured Posts section and Thumbnails can be easily disabled or enable through the Theme Options Page.
Thumbnails in Home and other archive pages are created using the first image uploaded for a post. Hence, make sure that you first upload the appropriate image for every post. But don’t worry, in case you uploaded the wrong image first.Simply delete all the uploaded images for a post and upload them in the right order.

How can i add a another sidebar in to left side?..
@Zaan
You can download this theme – http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/simple-indy
Hey, awesome theme!
I’ve got a question, btw, would it be safe if I would strip out the code in the theme files for the ‘featured posts’ section? It’s a good feature, but I’d prefer not to have it as crafting images for featured items takes a while.
If only it can generate its own pictures… then…
You can disable Featured posts through the Theme options page in case you don’t want it.
this is an awesome theme!
one question, the comments made on my pages are not showing, is there a way i can change that?
I just left a comment and I see it waiting for moderation….
the comments on the blog entries are fine. it’s the pages that i am concerned with, sorry if i wasn’t clear. like on this page: http://kittencalskitchen.com/about/, before i changed into your theme, i had at least 50 comments but now none of them are showing, (although i can still see them on the comment section at the dashboard).
I sent you a mail on this. The theme does not have comments code for pages. If you want it, you may include this code in page.php:
<div id=”comments”>
<?php comments_template(”, true); ?>
</div>
<?php global $id; $id = $post->ID; ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
just before the line
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
make sure that the double quotes in my above code is proper when you copy paste, as what appear there on my code is not the right double quotes.
Hey Mate,
Not sure if I actually submitted this comment. If so… my apologies.
I am having trouble with the feature area. On my home linux server it works great however, when I upload to my linux host account, it does not work. I have checked permissions and settings and all seem to be OK. Have a look at http:?/www.littleredplanet.com to see what’s happening.
Also, how do I disable the “more” function on the front page. I want full articles displayed there.
Great template and I hope to get these couple of issues worked out.
regards
dale
To disable more, you need a change in the theme file.This theme is designed for excerpts.In case you want to display the full post, then replace <?php the_excerpt();?> with <?php the_content(__(‘Read more’));?> in index.php of your theme.
i am not sure what your problem is with the featured area.Probably the flickr manager plugin is causing issues and i have no workarounds for it.You need to consult that plugin author.
Hye there, thanks for your great theme. Anyway, may I know how to avoid a same post under the feature? thanks!
I’ve found the problem with the Feature area … there are conflicts with almost all of my plugins including Commentluv, All in one SEO pack, Google Analyticator, Flickr Manager, Statpress Reloaded, and several others. Any idea why it is producing so many plugin conflicts and is there a resolution?
I don’t think it will conflict with plugins that don’t use javascrupt.for eg: All in one seo.What do you get if you enable all in one seo? Infact i use a few of those plugins without issues.
flickr manager is the only one that could be incompatible.
Thanks for the quick advice. I found that this code worked on the index page , the other gave me a parse error.
The plugin conflict is a strange one. I disabled all plugins then enabled them one at a time to isolate the ‘offenders’. The SEO plugin alone does not cause a conflict however, when I activate Askimet plugin, then the error appears. When I activate Askimet alone, there is no error either…
Any ideas?
cheers
dale
not sure of the second error.looks strange to me… for the first, let me know which other template pages you replaced this code and what you replaced?
sorry the code did not appear although I used the html “code” tags for the above post. Here’s the code I removed was <?php the_excerpt();?> and I added <?php the_content(‘(continue reading…)’); ?>
i think your archives…for eg: category archives are already showing the full cotent for every post. I don’t see any error.
Love the theme techblissonline…thank you.
Couple of questions…if you will assist me.
1.I want to add a image line break at the end of each post…a cute graphic I have. I tried to figure it out but I can’t.
2. I have some custom word I want to use continuously and I am having problems adding it as part of the post and/or page…
If these are not theme questions or I should look elsewhere any advice you give will be greatly appreciated.
Hope you will periodically keep a check on the site as it and the blog evolves… as I intend to do your site.
Thanks again
1. You need to add that to index.php (within the loop), if you want to add that image. Probably add a div tag with an id and specify a background image for that div id in your css file.
you can add that div after the div for tag.
2. i don’t understand this.If it is simple text, then how are you adding it and what is the issue you are facing?
Hi,
I’m wanting to make the homepage a static page like the about page. I want to keep the slideshow, but don’t need any posts on any of the pages. Will this be a problem to set up? Do I just alter the code on the homepage to be similar to the about page in order to get static text and images to appear below the slideshow?
Thanks!
I love the theme, but I’m curious as to how to add the “Read more” link on the front page since the posts appear as excepts by default.
Hi, great theme!
I just updated to WordPress 2.8. Everything went fine, but I opened up my sidebar in the new editor program, and without changing any code my sidebar widget and featured section ceased working. I’ve double checked the code several times over, and everything is where it should be. The only way to get the featured section to work correctly is now to remove the sidebar tabbed widget. Any idea why this might be happening or what I can do to correct it?
Thanks!
The problem is with jquey. WP hasn’t included the latest ones. They should have included jquery1.3.2 and related ones…I am waiting for wordpress to fix these in the next release that is expected soon as wp 2.8 is having a lot of jquery issues…
I have the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?
Great Theme !, I love it.
Just one minor question….Is there a simple way of disabling the excerpts?, and showing the complete post?, when a user is reading posts?
I love the layout and the features of your theme, but as I do not have too many postings yet, for now I would like to display the full post, rather that the excerpts.
Thanks in advance for you work on this great Theme!!!
PS: I have tried both Simple Indy, and IndyPremium, and while I really liked Simple Indy, the Indy Premium has everything that most people would ever need other than this minor tweak, if I can figure out how to do that.
Fantastic theme.Maby for my next site.Why pay for a theme when you can get a nice theme like this for free.
Amazing.
This one is great. Fantastic collections here. I would like to use one of it on my next fashion site.
Thank you for an amazing template! Quick question…I am using this as a static site instead of a blog. 1 post and 5 pages…why won’t the photos on my first post show up on the home page?
Thanks for any help.
You will have to replace this line in index.php file of your theme
<?php the_excerpt();?>
to this:
<?the_content(__(‘Continue Reading»’));?>
