Thank you for sharing this wordpress template. I really love this template and It will be used on my personal blog soon. Thank again!
If I move the author credits, currently in the footer, to another section of the my site, say the "About Us" page, would that still be acceptable as for given credit for your work? I have no issue with credit where it's due, but I would like to put just our non-profit organization information in the footer. I didn't see anything in the GPL that I would be breaking, but it's your theme at the same time. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by our theme. Every designer likes to have credits for the hard work. Please retain the credit link anywhere on the home page. Blogroll, sidebar links etc is another choice for placing the credit.
Excellent theme, but what about threaded comments?
Thanks for using our theme.
Currently Eximius does not support threaded comments. We will include threaded comments in a future version for Eximius.
For now, you can add a threaded comments plugin like WordPress Threaded Comment 1.4.9.4.
I am having an issue getting the date to remove using other plugins such as the date exclusion seo plugin. I have had success with this plugin for other themes, however this theme, which is exellent by the way, is not responding so well.
Any advice on how to remove the posting date and posting author from showing up on my home page? Thanks
What is your Website URL?

We are on the way to updating Eximius with admin options to easily show or hide all post meta data like date, author name etc. When this new version comes out, you will be able to choose all options from WordPress Dashboard. So hold on for some more days!
Love the theme and have it up at http://www.musiclibraryreport.com. I'm trying to remove the date and time from the comments but I see the function comment_date is not in comments.php. I've managed to disable the_time for posts and page but can't seem to figure it out for the comments.
Love the theme and have it up at http://www.musiclibraryreport.com. I've disabled date and time from posts and pages but can't find where to disable for comments. Can you please help?
Thanks!

Well, I guess others are adding their site, here is our use of your theme:

We moved the credits to the contact page, with some additional words. Thanks and keep up the good work!
May I ask how to go about disabling date and time from posts and pages with the eximius template? I have tried a few different things without success
For moving the header towards the top, you need to decrease margin-top in the following piece of code from style.css file.
#container{
margin-top:30px;
}
In IE7 or IE8 compatability mode the magnify glass image in the search box is justified left and is overlayed on top of the "search" text. In Firefox or IE8 the magnify glass image is justified right, which is what I think you meant. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks!

BTW, I just did the update to remove time and date from the comments section and it works great except the time and date still remains for the threaded replies to a comment. Sorry to bother you but I'd like to remove that time and date also.
Also, I'd like to donate for the use of the theme and would like to know where to do that.
Thanks again for a great theme!

We have noticed it and will fix it in coming version.
Eximius doesn't support Threaded comments. We believe you are using a plug-in for it. In that case, the date and time control exists in the plug-in code.
Regarding donation, we appreciate your interest in supporting our work. Please use the PayPal donate button above in the post.
Ok, thanks.
helo, i is marketing student so i now doing assgiment. here i like to know about ISP did you u??Why?? also i need to know your page sizes in killobytes,secure server, java, javascript?? can u help me and answer the questions ASAP..thank you
@artmunson
We received your donation. Thanks for the support.
Happy to help!
Yep, a little digging around in the plug in settings allowed me to remove the time and date. Thanks again!
Very nice theme. I had an issue with the closing div tag for the "content" div when users had to be logged in to comment – the formatting was messed up.
To recreate go to discussion settings and check the "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" and then select any post. "Comment author must fill out name and e-mail" was also selected. I tried a reinstall of the original files and turning off widgets but this did not solve it.
In the end I enabled user commenting and the formatting is fine. Thought you might want to know.
Thanks for informing us. We will check it out.
We fixed the problem you have mentioned in Version 2.1.4. Please download the latest version above.
@formateur
We have fixed this issue in Eximius Version 1.04. Please download the latest version above. Once again thanks for bringing it to our notice.

Thanks for the update. Because I have modified my page, post, comments and function files is there an easy fix for me? Maybe a mod to the header file?
Thanks for such great support!

You are welcome. We understand your situation. You need a File Comparison software. We use Beyond Compare for it. If you can afford, go for it, else you can try a good free software ExamDiff. These software are very handy and easily shows up differences between files.

Least I can do considering all the effort that you put in to creating the theme! Thanks for the fix.
Actually you can do more by donating! …
jus kidding…. Have a nice day!
Thanks!
Hi.. I love your Eximius theme, and have chosen it for a small website I am setting up.
However, I have found there is a problem with the formatting in IE for the right sidebar when adding another PAGE, in that the contect of the right sidebar starts part way down the page, lined up with the bottom of the content of the middle/main column. If it was a table I would be looking for a missing td or tr or end tag, but I don't know how this theme works.
The main Home page formats fine for me.
Are you able to offer any advice please?

Many thanks… Mark
Hi, thanks for the great theme (without any nasty code), such a relief
Happy to give you recognition (you deserve it). Can do a free ad if you are interested
Thanks for your appreciation. By the way you didn't mention your website!
Love the theme. Used it for this website: harddriveclicking.net
Thank you very much!
Hi
Great theme thanks!
Could you advise me what code and from where I need to delete, to delete the ‘Home’ tab as I’m using the front page with fixed text and posting to another page? So it’s not needed.
Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the update!
Daniel
wish i could figure out how to make a “sub-menu” off a menu item in the nav bar. hrmm…
yours is the best that I have seen. Its art part is so much. I hope you continue to get bug information for improving it. I will use it forever. If i get more money by my site ,i will contribute part for your hard work. Thanks for your beautiful and artfull theme.
Thank you for the appreciation.
Nice theme.
How do you get rid of the word “edit” that appears on static pages?
The word ‘edit’ only appears when you are logged in. Normal visitors to your site will not be able to see this.
This is a shortcut to edit the page.
Great Theme! It’s really working well for my new film blog http://www.filmdogsonline.com. On several of my pages at the top it says “Post belonging to category article” i was wondering how to get rid of this. Here’s one of the pages i’m taking about http://www.filmdogsonline.com/category/article/ Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. I’ve just installed your theme for my mentioned blog site http://aanveracity.javeedaanver.com, i need to put up my custom header image but can’t find options to do the same.
kindly give thesolution feedback for the same
thankyou.

How do you rearrange the tabs in the top navigation bar?
You have to edit the header.php file.
feature request:
you should have more theme modifications available in admin area.. like topbar color, sidebar colors and stuff..
ive done a complete redo of the template on my site here:
http://www.zhuzhupetreviews.com/
but it was really difficult and tool alot of time..
as for font color.. you have used blue color but with different color gradient numbers. so we cant just replace the blue color with any color we want.
like at one point u used #CCC for blue and at some point u used 00F and stuff.
can we expect anything simple in next release?
thanks
awaix,
We will implement new features in future releases. Unfortunately, we can’t do it in a single release due to time constraint. Though it’s free, our goal is to make Eximius better and better. Keep updating your theme when it’s available.
Hi there DKSZONE,
I’ve used the Eximius template for my new site and made some ajustments in the layout. However I have one question. When one clicks on the comment link in the blog, you get directed to the post. But the browser stays at the top of the post, and doens’t automaticly go to the comments-erea as do other wp-themes. I’ve noticed more sites using Eximius have the same way of working, so it isn’t anything I’ve changed. Question is: what do I need to change to the script to let the comment link direct one to the comments at the bottom of the post?
Hope you can shed some light on the matter. Like the theme very much though.
Thanx!
Thanks for the feedback. We will try to fix this problem in a future update.
Hi,
I am having a problem with the blue margin on the left.
I had to decrease the content section in order to fit videos but the blue margin vertical line did not move.
I know Im doing something wrong…doh
Great theme though.
Thanks in advance.
Eximius has a background image for the wrapper, and hence the sidebar margins will remain the same. In case you want to make width changes, edit this wrapper image and move the margins to your liking.
Hi,
with new wp 2.9.2 im having some problem.. when i install eximius on fresh install.. it starts showing blank space in posts.. and sometimes it even breaks the widget tables too.. can u please have a look and let us know what can cause something like that to happen?
ive experianced in on 3 blogs with wp 2.9.2 and all had same issue
and tried on 2 blogs with wp 2.8 and they all worked fine.
Eximius demo site is on WordPress 2.9.2, and we are not seeing any of the issues mentioned by you. Check if any plugins on your site are causing this problem.
how do I add drop down menus under pages in navigation bar? I sthere a plugin I can use or do you have another solution? Subpages are not appearing as subpages; links are not going to webpages but are taking people to raw post screen instead – why?
test comment….
Where in the sheetstyle.css can I edit the background color? I’d like it to be black instead of grey.
Help would be appreciated
Katherine.
You don’t need to edit the stylesheet to change the background color. You can pick a color from the color picker in admin options of Eximius.
Go to ‘Eximius settings’, the link can be found in the left panel of WordPress admin.
Thank you so much!
left this March 9th – can you please let me know what the solution is: Wize Time
March 9, 2010 at 1:58 am how do I add drop down menus under pages in navigation bar? Is there a plugin I can use or do you have another solution?
Subpages are not appearing as subpages; links are not going to webpages but are taking people to raw post screen instead – why?
Eximius does not support drop down menus. You may want to check the WordPress plugins directory for something suitable for your website.
Regarding, the subpages, can you elaborate more on that problem?
By default Eximius shows only the top level pages. If you want to change this behavior, you need to edit header.php and modify the depth attribute to your liking in the following piece of code
wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1′);
For example, if you want to show children, use depth=2, for showing grandchildren of a page use depth=3, and so on.
I have been trying to create a page that doesn’t have the sidebars…..you mentioned that the background and sidebars are part of a wrapper – what file would I need to edit to remove that? Or do you have an easier solution to creating a page with no sidebars? I’m not great with code yet but I do know a little! Thanks so much!
Hello! I have a customized headbanner but the problem is, the blog title interferes with it. I’d like to keep the blog title for SEO purposes, but also have it invisible so that it doesn’t interfere with my customized headbanner.
Is there anything I can do to change that?
