Function WP Theme

Function WP Theme

The theme powering this website is now available for public release to users of the self-hosted version of WordPress (not WordPress.com, yet). It’s an easy to use theme called Function, and it has been designed to be a good workbench for blogs and online magazines.

Click on the thumbnail on the left for an actual screenshot of the theme (single post).

The theme looks a lot like this site right here at stocktradingonline.net, plus and minus a few features. Mainly, it is more blog-like (chronological entries on home and archives, like any standard theme), and includes a different background image (a simple bokeh, blueish composition).

You can download the theme right here.

* If you prefer having the pages as a drop-down, instead of the categories, you can download the modified theme files here.

** If you wish to customize the background and know your way around PhotoShop, you can download the PSD (5MB).

Questions and additional information:

  • Can I modify this theme?

    You are certainly welcome to modify this theme to your taste! Get in touch if you would like particular customizations, such as integrating a custom header, logo etc…

  • How do I change the sidebar, header and footer modules?

    You can do so using widgets. Go under the Appearance tab in the WP admin panel and locate the Widgets link under it.

  • How do I display a page full-width? With a sidebar? With or without comments?

    By default, pages on this theme display with the sidebar and without comments. To enable full-width pages, or comments on pages, you must choose the appropriate page template from the screen in which you edit your pages. In WP 2.8.6+, simply go to the right of the screen and find the Attributes tab. Under it, find the Template menu and click on the drop-down to see the page templates available.
