Foghorn Theme

Foghorn is a minimalist WordPress theme built off the foundation of Twenty Eleven. It has a custom options panel for switching layouts, removing sidebars, uploading a logo, and changing footer text.

Foghorn’s design is responsive, meaning it looks good at any browser width including iPhones and other mobile devices. View the theme demo at http://themes.wptheming.com/foghorn.

    • When using the the_excerpt(), like the index.php and archive.php templates do, video content is going to get stripped out. One option is to change that to the_content(), which will display the full content. My plan is to eventually support post formats, like video, which will display that type of content differently. Those changes are likely a couple weeks out.

  1. Rookie here . . . love the theme but not sure how to make the small photo appear to the left of the post as you show in the example . . . advice appreciated in small words and lay terms.

    • Set your “featured image”. In the post editor, it should be on the right side of the screen. If you don’t see an option for it, check under the “screen options” tab (up top) to see if it’s hidden from view.

      • How do i set the feature image from the existing gallery image. When i click the feature button, it open a dialogue to select image from computer, from url, from gallery. But for gallery section there is no flat to set that as feature. Its only insert into post.

      • Click “Set Featured Image”, choose “Media Library” tab, click on the image you want to use, click “Use as Featured Image”.

  2. Fantastic Layout! One problem though…

    When I upload a big logo (mine is 800px wide), it does not resize in smaller windows. Wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if the CSS should be tweaked?

    Thank you.

  3. Hi,
    Great theme!
    A quick question, can I use this theme as a start framework for a commercial theme?
    I would really appreciate an answer!
    Thanks

  4. Great theme. However when sizing down to iPhone size the side bar widgets drop out completely. Is there a way to have the side bar widgets appear under the main content area?

  5. Great theme & exactly what I was looking for to simplify by site.

    Is there any way to set the featured image automatically on older posts? Maybe grab the first image in the post & make it the featured one? I don’t want to have to go back and edit 500 posts but if there’s no other way I will.

    Thanks Again!!

  6. Thanks a lot for such a great theme :-) I’ll definitely use it.

    I have a question: is there a way to remove the automatic “Continue reading” setting? I mean, I’d like the theme to show the full post on index if I don’t set “Continue reading” to split the text.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    • Another doubt would be: is it possible to remove the big date/category from the left on the single post page, giving more width to post content? Sorry for double posting.

      • Yes, you’d need to styles.css. You can see when you move the browser window to a smaller size the date showsup inside the post. That’s all done with CSS.

  7. I’m trying to build a template for my landing page, and would like it to be full width… There are options already coded in regarding said selection, so how can I set this up?

    Aside from a few little custom things, this theme is exactly what I’m looking for, thanks very much for sharing!

    • If you just want it just on a landing page (and not all pages) you’d need to create a page template and do a couple tweaks to the code. If you want to hire me, or make a small donation, I can write out the code for you.

      • Doesn’t the CSS for a full-width page already exist? I’m kinda curious why you didn’t make the options into page templates to begin with?

        In any case, creating a template should be no problem, but ideally I can use the already existing CSS information… + I’m getting lost in the php building these pages, I haven’t seen some of the calls before, like:

  8. Your theme is great, thanks so much for sharing! Just a quick question, is there a way to use the 1 column layout and create just one single page that has no sidebar?

      • My bad, I didn’t see your question about above me in the thread. And yeah I agree, that single addition would really make this kick ass theme that much better.
