Loading ...Wordpress Theme: oriental
September 19th, 2008
Update! I hear a lot of problems in this layout with some plugins. I guess this has something to do with your plugin using clear: left; or clear: both; in its CSS. I recoded this layout using relative positioning instead of float. This and subpage support have been added in version 1.1.x.
version 1.1.1 - Recoded to use relative positioning instead of float.

Hey that’s cool. Thanks for sharing 
I love this design so much! Beautiful work! I was eager to use it on my new blog, but have been running into issues. Basically, something is getting crossed so that my about page is pulling up one of the blog posts rather than the correct content. The link is accurate, but the content is messed up. It is only happening with your theme, not when I plug in other designs, so I have to abandon it for now. I thought you might like to know! Please feel free to contact me if you’d like other information on this.
Hi Dodo!
Beautiful theme! You do gorgeous work. I downloaded the 1.1.0 version but my amazon box was still wigging out and overflowing the left sidebar.
Hi!
Thanks for your nice work! I’m kind of a Newbie with WP.
I tried to change the sizes a bit, but I have the Problem that I’m not able to resize the middle part where the post are. Basically I just would like to have everything a little bit more narrow.
I would be great if you could give me a hint or something.
Thanks you!
Bye and Greetings from Munich Germany!

I’m using this layout which i love! But I would like to use the Author feature and in the sidebar file it say’s:
<!– Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.
could you tell me what this means? Uncomment where?
I wanted to use Oriental for a new blog - it’s so beautiful - but I’m having trouble with the extraction. When I try to extract the file in my blogsite, I get this error message.
Archive: /home/gmmc/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/oriental.1.1.1.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/gmmc/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/oriental.1.1.1.zip or
/home/gmmc/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/oriental.1.1.1.zip.zip, and cannot find /home/gmmc/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/oriental.1.1.1.zip.ZIP, period.
I thought the file must be corrupt, but I downloaded the file three times from Wordpress and once directly from your website and am getting the same error message.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Katie 
Hmm not sure. Try download winrar to unzip. I haven’t heard of any other issues like this.
Hi,
I installed the Oriental theme, which was perfect for my clients blog, but once I had it all set up in Firefox, I then happened to look in IE and it was not right.
The sidebar was overlapping the content.
I got that to stop, but now I have this huge white empty content box above my first post.
I’ve played with the stylesheet to change the position of the sidebar, no luck.
I’ve deleted all of my widgets, no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Katie
Did you make the brushes used in this wp layout? The cherry blossoms in the background… I’ve been looking for nice ones like that. If you downloaded them from somewhere, I’d love the URL.
BTW, killer layout. ^_^
Hello there it’s a great design thanks !
I wanted to have a static homepage (option > reading > static page in the admin).
But when I do so I still get the old homepage button selected… (I have now 2 button called homepage and I can’t delete the older one…)
Any idea ????? Would be great if you could give me a hand.
All the best,
Jhon
I really, really want to keep your oriental theme on my blog, but the pages just don’t work. Someone already posted about this above, but I couldn’t find a reply from you anywhere. When you click on the page, it displays an, apparently random, post and not the page you want.
Love the oriental theme. Nice design work. I seem to have same problem as Melanie whereby the my pages (about or other pages which I create ) don’t show. Instead my posts show up. It seems to work for other themes, but only brks with this theme. I have been searching for this kinda theme for so long….I would luv to use it, but it brks my heart that it doesn’t work on the site. Please assist. BTW, I am using wordpress 2.6.3, not sure if this helps…
regards,
Nur

I just don’t know why. I cannot reproduce it on my test blog. I will contact you this weekend to see if we can get to the bottom of this.
Ouu, I like it! Very clean and pretty!
