[...] enfin trouvé il s’agit de Plainscape [en], à partir de cette base très épurée, je pourrais confectionner mon thème plus personnel. [...]
If I apply widgets, then I lose the existing sidebar. How do I have widgets and the existing sidebar at the same time?
Nice WordPress theme. Where’s the third column? Might be nice to give that choice.
Theme archive on wodpress repo is corrupted, automatically update failed. Fix it please.
Thanks. Will look into it.
I have WP 2.8 installed already… Is this theme compatible with 2.8. Plz answer, cause I would like to use it on one of my websites…
Yes, this theme is very much compatible with WP 2.8… in fact, this site currently runs in WP 2.8 and uses the plainscape theme.
I just wanted to tell you that I really like Plainscape. Except for messing with the sidebar a little bit, it was perfect right out of the box.
Thanks for creating it and making it available!
Thanks much for your feedback!
The code “start_template.php” is creating a spam link with the words: “viagra” and “cialis”
How i can resolve this?
I’m waiting a answer.
There is no such file as ‘start_template.php’ that comes along with this theme. The theme is absolutely spam free. Apart from a single link to the page http://srinig.com/wordpress/themes/plainscape/ on the footer, the theme doesn’t insert any other link.
There are only two locations you should download my themes from:
1. My website, http://srinig.com/wordpress
2. Official WordPress theme repository, http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
If you have downloaded the theme from any other website, I am not responsible for spam links that the third party distributors insert into the theme.
I suggest you delete your current files, and once again download an authentic copy of the latest version of the theme from here.
Hello!
I will try to add ability to translate you’re theme, and i will notice in legacy.comments next thing:
/wp-admin/profile.phpYou are hardcoded here path to ‘wp-admin’, but this patch can be different. I think it’s can make an issue on WP installs with custom patches to admin, plugins and etc. directories.
I remember WP Planet wrote about it very recently.
Thank you Lesha, I will look into the files for hardcoded paths and make the necessary fixes.
Thanks for this great theme, Very adaptable. I am using it with the latest WP iteration. 2.8.3. Will gladly donate something to the cause.
I am curious if you might tell me how to easily add another item to the header menu. I do not mean another page, but a link to another site, a sponsor, to the right of “Subscribe to Feed” I would really like a little colored bullet in there too, but that’s wishful thinking.
Also, I managed to install a header image and I”d like to drop the entire structure down about 50 pixels. Again . . . how? Any information would be appreciated.
I see that you have already added the item to header menu. You can customize the height of header in style.css.
#header { height:50px; }Hello Srini,
Thanks for such a great theme. I write most of the time in Portuguese, so I decided to make a few changes to Plainscape to make it easyly translatable to other languages (by using WordPress’ functions like __(), _e(), and so forth). I also changed some strings and messages, no big deal.
The modified version can be seen at:

Since Plainscape is licensed under the GPL, I made these changes public so everyone can benefit from them:

Thanks again!
Daniel, thanks for doing this. Much appreciated.
