Beach House WordPress Theme

One of the first sites that I started to see clicks coming from to the beach-house.idano.net site was from Jokosher.com which makes Audio Production Software. As you can see from the screenshot above they made some modifications to the Beach House theme which I think look great especially since the Photoshop files wasn’t available at the time. Here is a quick excerpt from their about page:

Jokosher is a simple and powerful multi-track studio. Jokosher provides a complete application for recording, editing, mixing and exporting audio, and has been specifically designed with usability in mind. The developers behind Jokosher have re-thought audio production at every level, and created something devilishly simple to use.

Many thanks to folks at Jokosher for using the Beach House theme!

This site has always been a place where I previewed the WordPress Beach House them and provided news about updates that are made to the theme. As you can see the posts on this site are few and far between which isn’t so bad but I would really like to see this site used for something and up until now I did not know what that was.

See one of my favorite past times with this site is to see how people are using the theme for their individual sites. There are people that use the theme right out of the box (or zip file ) and then there are those that modify it to their liking. I am all for modifications for the theme and have even provided the Photoshop file for people to use to do so. Regardless of whether people keep the vanilla version of the theme or do heavy mods to it one thing they all seem to do is leave the links in the footer that link back to this site. In the Blogosphere we like to call that link love and I am very thankful for the love that I have been receiving.

Now it is time to give back. Read the rest of this entry »

I have done some fixes/improvements to the Beach House theme. Notable items are:

• Fixed the header issue folks where having
• Added comment features native to WordPress 2.7
• Tested in WordPress 2.7 – no issues found.

The 1.6 version of the Beach House theme can be download at the WordPress Theme Directory.

I pieced back together the Photoshop file for the Beach House theme since I am working on a new theme. It can be downloaded from the Download page. 

Feel free to use it to customize your theme!

I am happy to announce that the Beach House theme is now available in the WordPress.org Theme Directory.

Feel free to take a look and even download it and use it on your WordPress blog.

I have updated the Beach House Theme to version 1.4 which includes the following:

• Verified to work with WordPress 2.62
• Added support for Tags
• Added support for native WordPress Photo Galleries

I have submitted it to the WordPress.org Theme Directory and it is pending approval.

In the mean time you can download it from the Download page.

Here is an example of a native gallery:

It seems that the themes.wordpress.net site is no longer up and therefore the download I used for the Beach House theme is not available. I have submitted the theme to the new theme directory and it will probably be a few days until it is approved and available.

I apologize for any inconvience that this may cause anyone but once the theme is approved it should be smooth sailing from there.

We have upgraded WordPress to the latest 2.6 version and have tested the Beach House theme to make sure that it is compatible. Everything seems to be looking good so if you come across any issue let me know.

I recently got an email from Rob informing me that when you download the Beach House Theme from the WordPress Theme Viewer that the version number on the file that you download is incorrect.

The latest version of the Beach House Theme is 1.22 but the file name has 1.21 in it.

I have downloaded the file myself and have verified that it is the latest and greatest version.

Thanks Rob!

I have gotten a couple of comments from people saying that the header is not showing up for them. This seems to happen only once in a while and I have not been able to recreate the issue myself to try and resolve it.

But, there is one person who wrote me and told me that deleting the functions.php file from the theme fixed their header issue.

Can someone who has this issue try this and tell me if it fixes it?

Thanks.

UPDATE 3/25/2009: I have found the problem with this issue and it has been resolved. If you download the 1.6 or later version of this you will no longer have this issue.
