OpenAir Theme

By • Tuesday, Sep 9, 2008

This is a WordPress 2.8.2-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 with WordPress 2.6.3, and more importantly, is compatible with WordPress 2.8.3 and presumably works with others in the same development line.

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

Download the Theme (current version 1.3.2 – August 7th, 2009).

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?

rich says:

Hi Keryp,

Yes you can post errors here, or even on the forums.

Try this solution here.

Thank you, I followed the error message and removed a couple of blank lines after the closing php tag and it works, all the plugins and everything! Thanks!

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?

rich says:
September 29, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Raul – do you have any special plugins in action, that might affect pages or comments?

rich says:
September 29, 2008 at 2:41 pm

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.

raul says:
September 29, 2008 at 4:19 pm

No, the page is new. Thanks, anyway. I’m reinstalling wordpress to try again

Tim says:

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.

Ta,
T.

rich says:
December 30, 2008 at 3:07 pm

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.

rich says:
February 10, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Glad you like it lbesing! New version coming soon should let the sidebar be on either side.

I love clean templates, nice colors pickup, it looks effective. I hope to see more themes like this one.

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.

Someone had mailed me suggesting a version of the theme with another column. I might be able to do something about it this weekend.

johndoe3815 says:
May 27, 2009 at 12:06 am

thank you for your quick reply, I wasn’t even sure if this site was still being operated since the last comments were a couple months old

rich says:
May 27, 2009 at 1:45 am

It sure is, I just reply to some people via email that’s all.

johndoe3815 says:
May 27, 2009 at 12:08 am

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:
May 27, 2009 at 10:29 am

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.

johndoe3815 says:
May 27, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Ok thanks, And I hope you are able to get the 2 column option done soon.

downbike says:
June 2, 2009 at 5:43 pm

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.

johndoe3815 says:
June 4, 2009 at 6:08 am

Hi I was wondering how that new version of the open air design with 2 side bars was coming? You had mentioned you hoped to have it done last weekend and I was wondering if that happened or not. please email me to let me know – johndoe3815@yahoo.com

rich says:
June 5, 2009 at 3:10 am

Hi John, working on it today. Will probably have a release version by the end of the day.

rich says:
June 6, 2009 at 3:41 pm

John, the theme has been updated – now has two or three columns. The version is now 1.3.0 try it out!

johndoe3815 says:
June 7, 2009 at 12:13 am

Okay where can I get this theme at? Do I find it on wordpress?

johndoe3815 says:
June 7, 2009 at 12:13 am

By the way Thank you!

rich says:
June 7, 2009 at 2:33 am

You’re welcome! The download link is in the text of this post, way up at the top. It will be on wordpress when they ok it.

Thanks Richard from across the pond for a great WP theme, perfect for what I was looking for, and your responsiveness on the tweaks! Enjoying choice on gravatar location for comments. Many thanks!

Hi Gordon, thanks for the comment, the theme will be updated again in the next few days as I have one or two more adjustments to make.

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:
August 4, 2009 at 1:23 pm

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

Hey crazybobcat – are you using the latest version? The 1.3.2 release fixes that small error with sidebars and layout.

crazybobcat says:
August 8, 2009 at 7:09 am

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.

rich says:
August 8, 2009 at 11:25 pm

Hi crazybobcat – I hope that fixes the errors you’re running into.

I’ll change those links, thanks for the heads up!

Richard

Rich,
They did fix the errors I was having with the 3 column layout. Thanks again!
