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.

    Devin,

    This is seriously the best responsive WP theme I have found; thanks for the great work!

    Best,

    We are trying to have the Video on the home page as well, but cant do it. it shows only inside the post… any suggestions?

    • Devin wrote:

      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.

        Hello, trying to change this, but where to I do that, where do I change to the_content().

        Thanks

    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.

    • Devin wrote:

      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.

      • Devin wrote:

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

    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.

    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

      Yes. Please read the included license for details.

    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?

    • Devin wrote:

      Yes, you’d need to edit style.css. Just remove the {display:none} on the sidebar area for that screen size.

        What I have to really edit to make this working? I can’t find it.

        Thanks in advance.

      Hi. I found a bug, left side in single. php doesnt shown in internet explorer 8.. I havent test other explorer versions.

      Thanks…

    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!!

    Looks like it only does this dynamically and does not go back and actually “fix” the missing pix. I’ll keep looking, thanks!

    Hey, as a rookie on wordpress, I’ve gotta say thanks so much for all the high value help to us newbies. I really like the look of the theme and appreciate all your work.
    cheers!

    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.

    • Rodrigo wrote:

      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.

      • Devin wrote:

        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.

    • Devin wrote:

      Yes, you’ll need to edit the index-content.php to display the_content rather than the_excerpt- then you should be able to do that.

    This is actually the same theme wptheming.com is using right here (with little to no background customization):P
    Haven’t you noticed, guys? ;)

    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!

    • Devin wrote:

      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.

      • dubcomm wrote:

        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:

      • Devin wrote:

        I’ll look into adding the templates in the next version. Not too much work.

    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?

    • dubcomm wrote:

      Seems I’m not the only one looking for this fix… I think it will go a long way towards the accessibility of your theme!

      • John wrote:

        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.

    Hi there,
    I’ve been using your theme, which looks great, as a foundation for a new website. I’m still editing stuff (it’s far from finished) but apparently I broke something and I can’t find what… It might not even be in the CSS since whenever I look for whatever could have been inadvertently changed, I can’t find anything.
    The problem is: when seeing a page, the content-wrap is 0px high, and as a result the comments box appears right below the page title. It doesn’t do this on single posts. You can see it here: http://discussplay.net/rules

    Could you please take a look at the source and see if you can find anything? If you need any additional detail let me know, I really wonder what’s the issue.

    Cheers.

      Your site isn’t coming up for me. But based on what you wrote you might have forgotten to close a tag. Try running it through a html validator. I can’t offer a lot of support for folks customizing the theme- so also try posting this in the WordPress.org support forums.

      • Robin wrote:

        I found the problem, running it through a validator as you suggested. There was some unrelated text in a completely different portion of the sheet, probably due to an unvoluntary ctrl+v… Thanks :p

    I really like your theme and would like to translate it into Spanish. My question is if its «localized using the the GNU gettext framework» as explained in this post? Thank you!

    • Devin wrote:

      Yes, it’s localized correctly.

    How hard would it be to either:

    * Put a widget area in the header or footer,
    * Convert the navigation menu from the header to a vertical menu widget in the side bar *and* keep its nice appearance and drop-down action,
    * Or add social media link icons to the header?

    I’m using the navigation menu in the header and Simple Social Icons in the side bar. But it looks sort of skewed sideways. I’d like to make it look more vertically centered again.

  21. It’s a very simple and great theme, but is it possible to add a picture, draw … at the top of the page??
