Redesign coming soon

ASCII One – a free WordPress theme

Release Notes

Here are the release notes:

  • 1.11
    • Fixed blank screen after comment posting
  • 1.1
    • Widened layout
    • Corrected smiley display
  • 1.0
    • Initial release

ASCII One is a free WordPress theme inspired by typography.

The theme:

  1. is widgetized,
  2. has 3 columns + 1 for the metadata,
  3. has 2 sidebars for widgets.

This theme will be supported and upgraded. New versions will be available here. If you have problems with the theme, leave a comment.

Warning! I will only try to solve problems with the theme. I will not help you with WordPress or any other issues :>

IE6 is NOT supported as there is less and less users of this… strange phenomenon.

Theme works with WordPress 2.6+

At first I wanted to use a typeface with one of the text replacement libraries, but finally I’ve chosen Helvetica because of its beauty and popularity (and its clones).

The font used for graphical elements is Museo by Jos Buivenga.

You can try the theme out here.

You can download the ASCII One Theme v1.11 here.

ASCII One is published under the GPL licence together with one of the greatest web design magazines – the Smashing Magazine.

    Araba thx for the info, I have to check it out

  • 42.

    Piotr Godek

    @John should be. but it doesn’t use paged comments

  • 41.

    Araba

    Great theme. Like it a lot. One affair though…comments don’t assume to work. When you column a animadversion the awning just goes bare and tries to accessible /wordpress/wp-comments-post.php. Is there a simple band-aid you can anticipate off. There’s some added humans on SmashingMag who accept the aforementioned problem

    Piotr Godek

    Goedkope

    Is there a dutch version available of this theme? Or can I maybe load this theme in a Wordpress that runs already in Dutch? Please let me know…

  • 36.

    Piotr Godek

    go ahead, but i think it has already been translated.

  • 35.

    John

    @ezg: I mark the first post in PHP and than apply a different CSS style to it.

    Awesome theme! I’m going to repost it on my blog for you.

  • 25.

    Piotr Godek

    Alvaris: no, GPL says you have to distribute the changed theme under GPL, too.

  • 24.

    Alvaris Falcon

    Hi Piotr Godek, nice to see you again! :D

    I have a question about GPL licence on this wonderful Wordpress theme. If I convert this Wordpress theme to Blogger template, and applied a new GPL licence for the modified version, can I charge a fee to distribute the Blogger template with the source code?

    Thanks for your view, hope to hear more from you. ;)

    ezg

    Hi,
    I saw that first post in main page letters are bigger than others. Can you say how you done this? In which line i could see code for this function?
    By the way, maybe there is way how to add advertisement usint this code?
    Thank you. :)

    Nice template! Kudos!

    Translation completed. I just put it on my blog. Cool, thanks.

    I’m also experiencing the comments problem (with WP 2.7 RC1). If I drop in the comments.php from another theme, however, then posting comments seems to work.

  • 18.

    Piotr Godek

    Info: the theme has been released under GPL, so you can modify it, but you have to release the modified version under GPL, too.

  • 17.

    Alvaris Falcon

    Wow, thanks for your permission!

    For me, it’s a must to keep the footer credit intact and mention author in both XML file and template setup page. ;)

    By the way, I love this theme! Again, a very unique and creative theme. :D

    Thanks for the swift reply. I’m looking forward! If you find a quick solution or hack :) please let me know.

    Piotr Godek

    Alvaris, as you wish :) Just would be nice if you mentioned at the bottom that the template is based on my theme.

  • 14.

    Alvaris Falcon

    Do you mind if I convert this wonderful Wordpress theme to Blogger template?

    Just friendly asking ;)

  • 13.

    Piotr Godek

    Gideon, I’ll check it and release an update. Stay tuned ;)

  • 12.

    gideon

    Hey Piotr,

    Newest release: 2.6.5. When I switch to another template comments work fine. Strange ehh.

    Gideon

  • 11.

    Piotr Godek

    Arystor, it is the image view with links to other image attachments in the post.

  • 10.

    Piotr Godek

    Gideon. What WP version are you using?

  • 9.

    gideon

    Hey man,

    Great theme. Like it a lot. One thing though…comments don’t seem to work. When you post a comment the screen just goes blank and tries to open /wordpress/wp-comments-post.php. Is there a simple solution you can think off. There’s some other people on SmashingMag who have the same problem.

    Cheers,
    Gideon

    If you click on the image of the first post takes you to a navigation image (here).
    What is that? I have never seen but it is great.
    Sorry again for my english.

    This is a nice theme! I make a lot of sites and will probably be using this one soon. We are just now starting to *not* support IE6 as well…it caught my eye that you aren’t even trying! :) The development time to tweak and massage a site for IE6 is just toooo much…

  • 6.

    Piotr Godek

    Arystor, sure and thank you :) What images are you asking about?

  • 5.

    Arystor

    I also want to translate it into Spanish. It is of the best themes I’ve ever seen. Very original and with a good design.
    I do not understand much about the images in the first post. Is it an Easter egg? What is your role?

    Sorry for my English.

  • 4.

    Piotr Godek

    v1.1 is out.
    I widened the layout, so at least youtube videos fit ;)

  • 3.

    Scott

    Cool, thanks. I like it. I’ve implemented it on my blog. :-)

  • 2.

    Piotr Godek

    Kaiserlino, sure. the theme is ready to be translated. do let me know if there are any strings that I missed.

  • 1.

    Kaiserlino

    Hi, i would like to translate and release this theme in Portuguese if you allow me too.
    Today i am making the post about it in our blog, with the links pointing here and Smashing Magazine.
    Hope there are no problems.

    Thanks
