OpenAir Theme

By • Tuesday, Sep 9, 2008

This is a WordPress 3.2-tested theme, not thrown together so much as just ‘clicked’ one day. It is a theme for both beginner and medium user alike, very easy to use, nice pleasant colours, and look. It is gravatar-ready, widget-ready, and SEO-friendly.

It’s a two two or three column theme, sidebar on the right as you can see from the screenshot above – click the screenshot to go to one of my test blogs with the theme in action. As of March 2009 it now has an admin panel in the wordpress admin backend that lets you set which side the sidebar rests on, left or right.

The theme has been tested up to WordPress 3.2 and will be updated as and when newer versions come out.

If you like this wordpress theme, or others, please consider making a donation.

Download the Theme (current version 1.4.0 – August 15th, 2011).

What new in the version 1.3.3? There’s a new admin section to let you put in google analytics code, so it can be automatically added to the theme. A few minor adjustments to the post template, and some code adjustments to the header to configure it more for html5.

In version 1.4.0 I added a section to let you choose the width of the display. It is set to a default of 825 pixels.

To see the theme in action select the OpenAir link below to change the theme on this site for 10 minutes.

Can I post errors here? Hope so, I’m running wordpress 2.6.2 and every plugin I install gives me an error when I activate it and also when I submit any changes to settings Here it is:

Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/…/blog/wp-content/themes/openair/functions.php:11) in /home/…/blog/wp-includes/classes.php on line 806

What am I missing here?

I liked this theme, nice colors. However, everytime I visit a page with comments I recieve this message at the end of the page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH in D:\webserver\pg3\blog\wp-content\themes\openair\comments.php on line 58

I can add and read comments with other themes, but I can´t with this one. Can you help me?

Raul, here’s my test blog address where OpenAir was built, testing a page link: http://www.richarddows.co.uk/testblog2/page-test/

The comments seem to work. I wonder if something else you have active on your blog might be interfering somehow.

Hi Richard. Is there any ‘quick and easy’ way to get pages working on this theme?

I love the clean transparent look, but need multiple pages if possible.

Hi Tim

Yes pages should work as normal, but if you need to alter the template at all, copy index.php to page.php and alter that. But, without page.php it will use the index.php file.

I initally tried installing this theme using WP 2.2.3 and it blew up. I’m now in the process of upgrading to WP 2.7, and will attempt installing it again. Hopefully I won’t blow up the site completely during the upgrade attempt. At least it’s a new, almost blank blog installation.

Hey! It worked! Yeah!

Thanks for creating and sharing.

Hi I have a question, I really like your open air design but I wish it had a column for Google Adds. For instance this layout on this site with the open air background design would be great. Please email me if there is something like that in the works or if there is a way to make it work for my site.

Oh by the way is there anyway to have the screen size re-size itself based on the individual screen resolution of the viewers?

rich says:

Not with the current configuration/setup no. But I can chalk it in for future updates and make the columns percentage based instead of fixed width.

Want to let you know right off the bat that I am a total rookie when it comes to blogs.
You mentioned something on here (on May 27th) about the columns resizing. Well I think that is the problem I am having. I am running 1.3.2 version by the way. When I put in 2 columns, it is very nice. When I switch to 3 columns, my pictures all go off center and basically all which a way. I’m thing if I could expand the column a little bit, it would fit the pictures back in fine. The pictures were good with a previous 3 column theme I was using before, so this confused me. Please let me know something on this soon. You know I looked at over 500 themes today, I’ve dwindled it down to 9 now, and this one, so far is my favorite of the 9. I’m waiting t see what my few readers think of it.
Oh, and is there a way to have a # of hits to the blog displayed on the front page?
Thanks for the great, free theme. When/If I start making some money on this darn thing, I’ll remember to sent you a nice donation.

Is there a way to have 2 sidebars? I want 2 sides bar, one on the left and the other one on the right just like the theme you’re using.

hi there

I would like to know it it’s possible to put in a picture header above the posting section .. also would like to know about adding things to the side bar .. and changing the width of the theme.. (openair) is what we are using ..

any help would be greatly appreciated

shami

rich says:

It’s possible yes.

You could insert an image directly into the header.php just above the

section. You could alter the css file for #header, giving it a background image (the image you want), then altering the css entry for #text, changing the margin so it doesn’t interfere with the image (or remove it entirely from the header.php).

What kinds of things do you want doing to the sidebar?

Richard

Hey Rich,
Just wanted to say thanks for a cracking theme. It’s nearly everything I wanted from 3 columns to semi-transparency and so on.
I am, however, having a bit of a problem with the columns. Two columns works perfectly. Three columns works if I choose Left or Right. If I choose Side Sidebars, it all goes a bit pear shaped on me and one of the two columns (sometimes it’s left, sometimes it’s right) disappears. The centre div shrinks to accommodate all 3 columns, but I can’t get the third column and all its widgets to appear.
I’d appreciate any thoughts you might have on this.
Cheers,
Kyle

Hi Rich,
I am using 1.3.1.
I’ve just downloaded 1.3.2 and will install it in a bit. Thanks for the prompt response.

As an aside, mate, your download links at the top don’t work. You have them pointed to http://www.theenglishguy.co.uk/downloads/OpenAir1.3.2.zip; I had to change that link location to http://www.theenglishguy.co.uk/free_downloads/OpenAir1.3.2.zip to get it. Just a head’s up.

Hi,
I was asking before on how to remove the avatar as it does not keep up with the dates.
There is no setting on OPTIONS to remove avatar.

Also I want to remove the menu on the top. Adding widgets doesn’t seem to work.
I have downloaded the latest version 1.4
Thanks for a great theme.
