Modern
Modern | WordPress Theme | version 0.9
Modern is a light, simple and modern theme for WordPress 1.5-2.0. Page links in Modern are layed out horizontally at the top—rather than in the sidebar—creating a clearer distinction between permanent and updated content. For this reason, it is not recommended to use a great number of pages with this theme. Currently, only top-level pages are displayed in the top section—making it possible to exclude pages from appearing there.
Modern uses one slightly less common type-face—if present, the blog title is type set in Galliard (if not it downgrades gracefully). Only two image-files are used. The theme strives to use as semantic markup as possible and should validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.1. Modern has been tested in Opera 9.0 beta, Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6.0.
Features
- Fast and light
- Easy to use: well-structured css-file, no plug-ins required
- Page and Archive pages included
- Supports theme preview in WordPress 2.0
- Careful typography and use of whitespace
Installation
After you download Modern, unzip it and upload it to your <WP_INSTALL>/wp-content/themes/ directory. Then log into WordPress and activate the theme from within your presentation panel.

[...] Ulf Pettersson Is offering up a new theme. As the name implies, it is a modern approach to blog design, with nice use of CSS effects in the page navigation in the header. Subtle colors, the design would work in a variety of sites, and could easily be adapted for a more CMS approach. [...]

Great Theme!
But when i view the categories, there are no Hyperlinks in the Text.
Is this a bug, or ist this ”works as designed”?
december 21st, 2005 at 3:10
Pit: You are right, there are no hyperlinks in the text in categories, archives and search. This is not by design, it seems to be a limitation of WordPress. No themes that display an excerpt of the post does show links in the excerpt. As far as I understand the WordPress Codex, it may not be possible to change.
If anyone knows more about this and if it can be changed, feel free to enlighten us.

This design of yours looks wonderful. Do you have mailling list or anything? Would love to know if you released any new design..
december 21st, 2005 at 8:40
Ulf, i´ve been looking around a little bit, and there are some blogs, which show links in e.g. the categories view.
http://www.perun.net/
also the blogs with the blix theme running do that.
is there a way to change the template to that function?
december 21st, 2005 at 14:44
Jerry: No mailing list, sorry. But I will announce new themes (there will most likely be a few coming) on WordPress.org, themes section.
Pit: Some blogs who show links use manually created excerpts. That works for Modern, too. Do this by putting a more tags in the posts.
The theme Blix uses a set of special functions called BX_functions. I could use those functions, but preferably not – I like to keep things standard and as fast as possible. You can modify the theme to use those functions by: 1. putting BX_functions.php from Blix in the Modern folder. 2. Initializing the functions in header.php. 3. Modifying archive.php to use the functions like in Blix, be careful not to copy the css selectors from Blix, however.
december 22nd, 2005 at 8:11
Good & Minimalistic! Great work!
december 22nd, 2005 at 23:56
Ulf, thank´s a lot for your infos about that.
Is there a way (without the BLIX thing), to place a ”home” link to the top page navigation? i think that would be usefull.
and sorry, but i have got another question:
is it possible to implement a personal logo, instead of the dark gray box, the colour image and the big title on the right side of the header?
sorry again for my questions. i really would like to install your very excellent looking theme, but for my usecase i must implemet a logo instead of the things i listed above.
best wishes
pit
december 24th, 2005 at 0:57
Pit:
Unless you don’t want to be super-explicit you really don’t need to have a home-link since clicking the logo does the same thing for you. Anyhow, here’s the way to do it, I just tried it out and it works for me:
1. Open /themes/modern/header.php
2. Around line 27 you’ll see:
3. Exactly above that line, insert a new one with the following text:
”>home
4. Now you should have something like this:
”>home
5. Save and upload the file. Try it out in both Firefox and IE.
* * *
The colour image logo is easy to change – it’s just a graphics file that you need to edit as you wish. The grey box is somewhat more pain and involves some CSS editing that I didn’t feel like doing without knowing how all classes work with each other (I’m a newb).
The title can be removed by doing this:
1. Open /themes/modern/header.php
2. Around line 30 you’ll find:
”>
3. You can either erase/comment out the whole line, or just the part that displays the text (the name of the blog with big orange letters). To do the latter just replace the line with:
”>
4. Ta-da.
I’ve done all this already and it can be seen on http://www.eyerouge.com

Ulf:
Tack för ett riktigt schysst theme… älskar minimalismen. Ser fram emot nya från dig.

Hi Ulf!
I am planing on using this theme for a blog/site i am building right now:
http://esteticafotografica.net
But when i started ading content i noticed some strange behaviour.
a) a picture that has 500 pixels width gets reduced automaticaly.
b) outside linked images dont display on the blog althoug they show on the admin area preview.
Is this because the entry just shows all the content when we see the single entry page ? Is the blog configured to show just a excerpt on the main page ?
I would like to change this if possible.
Thank you.
december 24th, 2005 at 16:37
I figured out the width=100% (419 pix), but i still cant see where is the element that makes only the excerpt apear on the main page.
I am trying to make the content area apear a litle larger (510 px instead of 419) but every time i change the dimensions there is overlap of the content with the sidebar !
If you could help with some sugestion for the css it would be great !

december 26th, 2005 at 17:06
Well, i figured out the details of the css.
I instaled wordpress 2.0 RC3 (got tired of waiting for the final) and it works (except for the Event Calendar plugin – not the responsability of Modern though).

december 27th, 2005 at 21:43

Hi Ulf
Really beautiful design.
I’ll certainly try it out on my so far experimental dummy blog to be released soon.
december 28th, 2005 at 1:23
Eloy: I’m not sure I understand what you want to do. When I look at your site the links are already at the top. In any case, the position of the page-links is controlled by header.php and by the CSS-file. In the CSS, look under the heading /* Begin Structure */, where you will find the selector #header li a {}. This decides the position of the page-links.

[...] And as I was being stupid I stumbled onto Tim’s blog and he translated his German tutorial into English, making my work obsolete. I might write one anyway, but not today. What I certainly will do in the near future is make an article about poEdit, as people seem to have trouble using it. But not everything was lost, I actually made Ulf Pettersson’s theme modern translatable. Some notes about it: I did not test it extensively, I did not make any translations for it and I offer no guarantees it will work (it probably will tho). But I’m willing to help people translate it, and I’m also happy to host any translations. [...]
januari 17th, 2006 at 6:55
Ulf,
Quick question: I would like to modify your gorgeous design, so that the sidebar is white and outlined with another color. I can figure out how to edit the stylesheet to make the sidebar white, but I cannot figure out how to add an outline. Any ideas?
Also, how did you insert the colorful graphic below your name above the sidebar?
Thanks for all your work. Less talented folks such as myself truly appreciate it!
januari 17th, 2006 at 8:03
Melissa: find the paragraph that looks like this:
#sidebar {background: rgb(211,207,205);
font: 0.9em Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
}
and insert a line like this one inside the curly brackets:
border: 1px solid red;Change ‘red’ to the color name or color value you would like. Change ’1px’ to set the width of the outline. The graphic is inserted by this line:
/* Begin Headers */#header h1 {background: white url(images/header_background.jpg) bottom right no-repeat;

However the categories in the sidebar doesn’t get displayed right. Sub-categories should go under their head category, not just end up at the top.
januari 19th, 2006 at 17:02
Mike: Do sub-categories end up at the top? On this blog they mix in with the other categories and all of them are displayed in alphabetic order. But you are right, sub-categories should probably go under their head category. Will fix that for 1.0. Unfortunately I’m quite busy at the moment, so I can’t say when…

januari 22nd, 2006 at 3:22
Ulf,
I have made great progress since my last comment you. That is until I tested my site in IE 6.0. Man! What a mess.
The whole sidebar is broken in two pieces and the main post section overlaps the sidebar. (See the URL I entered on the reply. I am afraid to post it publicly because of spam.)
Even when I revert to your original sidebar code and stylesheet, the problem remains.
Could you take a look and see what you think? Firefox displays it properly. IE screws it up big time. Meanwhile, I’m going nuts with all of this!
Here’s my sidebar code:

Sorry for the code screwup above…
OK… I figured out the problem with the broken sidebar in IE 6, but not the solution:
Here is the part of the style sheet that makes IE 6.0 unhappy:
`#content {
width: 419px;
margin: 30px 0 0 0;
padding: 40px 40px 40px 50px;
float: left;
clear: both;
}`
Specifically, it does not like:
`padding: 40px 40px 40px 50px;`
Can anyone think of a workaround? I’ve been scouring CSS references, but no luck so far…
januari 23rd, 2006 at 21:18
Melissa: I looked breifly at your blog and it looks like the picture for ”eicosapentaenoic acid” may be too wide. Also, Internet Explorer has several rendering bugs and is not as standards-compliant as browsers like Firefox and Opera (the vastly superior browser in my opinion – try it!). All the issues with Internet Explorer makes it a pain to code for, it’s just not worth the effort to work around every little bug. Some bugs seem to be associated with widths.
januari 23rd, 2006 at 23:26
Hey, thanks for your response. I agree that IE has little redeeming value. I only wish that most of the world didn’t use it!
I will mess around with the image and see where it gets me.
I’ll keep you posted.
januari 23rd, 2006 at 23:37

Ulf, YOU ARE MY HERO once again. Removing the “eicosapentaenoic acid” picture fixed the problem.

Ulf,
Thanks so much for your great theme. My blog has never loaded faster or been as bug-free as it is now with ‘modern.’
februari 1st, 2006 at 11:30
Thank you for this awesome template! I will use it on my blog after I’ve remade it to fit my purposes.
For you who wanted to remove the hover effect on the logo can find this line at the end of header.php:
">
There you can remove everything that has to do with the ”a href”-tag, but do not remove the php-tag with ”bloginfo(‘name’)” or the entire div will disappear.
Hopefully you can see the code above.
februari 1st, 2006 at 11:33
Darn!
Well, anyhow, the code that you’ll need to remove looks something like this ”php echo get_settings(‘home’);” and is within a ”a href”-tag. Remove the entire a-tag and it will look nice. :)
februari 1st, 2006 at 16:41
Jarno and others: removing the entire a-tag is not a good idea. That would make it impossible to click on the logo. If you want to change the look of the hover-effect, change the CSS instead.
februari 1st, 2006 at 19:16
@Ulf:
That I do know. But since I have added a ”home”-link at the top of the page I didn’t feel it necessary to have the picture clickable too. But when you mention it I might change it back just to have the logo clickable for those who usually clicks logos to get to the ”home”-page.
Thank you for this awesome template. I have translated most of it into swedish too if anyone would be interested. Although you’ll need to have the swedish WP-language file for it to be fully translated.
februari 1st, 2006 at 20:01
So you who want to change the hover effect on the logo to be transparent add this into you style.css:
‘#header h1 a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
background: transparent;}”
Hopefully the above css doesn’t do too much damage.

Absolutely beautiful design. Thank you!
I’m using it for my blog which I just recently set up — well, it’s taking me a while to set it up. :) I just have one question: I’ve tried to change the header_background.jpg by creating a graphic the same size as your original graphic, naming my graphic ‘header_background.jpg,’ removing the original graphic, then uploading my version. My graphic doesn’t display. I have no idea why this is happening. Hope to hear from you. Cheers, Issy

Your theme looks exactly the same in IE6 of beta7, Mozilla, Firefox and my favorite browser Opera. The only minus part – if I may say so – is that there seems no way to get blank spaces in quoted texts. I tried and but these tags do not work. You may have a solution for this, Ulf? Thanks for releasing this theme of yours.

Thanks. Great theme, dude.

silberblog: Given that you are talking about the WordPress feature categories; that’s the way wordpress works, unfortunately. It’s not really changeable, see above. It works that way in other themes too.
Cyberney: What do you mean? You can certainly use blank spaces in quotes. Many blogs that use Modern does that all the time.
Joe Black: Thank you. But you are wrong about header.php, of course it’s not empty (just double-checked). Perhaps something went wrong?
mars 1st, 2006 at 6:04
Ulf,
I just downloaded your template the other day (I love it), but wanted to ask you how I might go about adding a graphic image where the blog title is (without a rollover). I would like to keep the blog title, but perhaps move it down to the grey area. I am very new to this whole wordpress/CSS thing but know a little bit of html. Any recommendations on how I could do this effectively?
Thanks a bunch!

I’ve tried using this theme on a WordPress 2.0 instalation. It look beautiful, but for some reason I can’t make the size of the pages the same. Your site demonstartions this quirk too: as you click through the links in the header the whole layout jumps a couple pixels to the left or right. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

[...] Just finished writing a theme – actually significantly customising a theme for use on my blog. I used a theme called modern by Ulf Pettersson.

mars 26th, 2006 at 22:07
Scott, I think the trick for the blank spaces within the blockquotes is to simply first devide your desired quoted text into the pieces you want. After that you give each part a blockquote of its own. I tried it on my site and it worked, although I can’t show you an example right now since I started a brand new blog today. Good luck!

hi ulf
absolutely fabulous theme! thanks so much!
am having one problem (believe similar issue was listed by spencer march 12 2006) with index and single posts shifting 8 pixels to the left, arg… have tried clean installs on same server/same domain, same server/different domain, different server/different domain with the same result. i see that this is the case with other BUT NOT ALL installations of your wonderful theme (maybe 50:50).
if anyone has any feedback on resolving this issue, i would be hugely appreciative.
ciao.

juli 16th, 2006 at 21:24
hi ulf
sorry, previous post was incomplete: shifting occurs only in Firefox (both windows and mac os x). using ie – windows/opera – mac os x, there is NO SHIFT. it is more likely that it is only the single post and index that don’t shift and the page and category level pages that shift right.
thanks again for any suggestions for troubleshooting/resolving this issue.
– joyce

duh… short pages = no scroll bar = shifting page elements = oh good grief! added code to css to always include scroll bar :)
thanks again for a lovely theme!

Ulf:
I’m new at this, but I believe I did the correct edit’s to the style.css to change the color of the text for the header. Even though the new RGB color info is in the style.css file. Nothing changed.
It took me a while to find the right theme, and this one is definetly perfect!
september 11th, 2006 at 6:20
Nevermind!!!
I’m smarter than I thought I was and so very pleased with my edits. Great, great template! So easy to make your own.
november 25th, 2006 at 20:25
Very nice layouts possible with the modern theme. Well done.
november 27th, 2006 at 11:17
Re white space between blockquote paras, you need to place a margin above. In style.css, change the margin spec for blockquote p, for example:
margin: 0 0 4px 0;
I think maybe I then also had to adjust the alignment of the quote graphic.

januari 4th, 2007 at 2:34
At the risk of damaging the intended aesthetics of this design, I decided to add a bit of width for the body text. In keeping with the license, and in case others want to make similar, I am sharing those changes. I am not a CSS hacker, this was just trial and error. The seven changes (for adding 100 width) are:
#pagestripe {background: rgb(221,217,215); width: 780px; => 880px
#page {
width: 780px; => 880px
#content {
width: 419px; => 519px
#content.single {
width: 518px; => 618px
#footer {
width: 510px; => 610px;
#footer.single {
width: 780px; => 880px
#description, #sidebar {
margin-left: 511px; => 611px

Well Mr. No man’s land… I don’t see anything modified. Even my own site looks more modified than yours, but still I wouldn’t say my site is a modified version of Modern. The only thing I did is tweaking it so that the sidebar stays when viewing the static pages plus some little things like another pic, a drop down menu in the sidebar and so on. But it definitely still is the Modern theme.
januari 15th, 2007 at 19:19

I too was interested in seeing Kevin McGuire’s wider version of Modern, but he must’ve changed his mind, because it’s the standard width now: http://kevin.mcguireclan.net/
I’ve tried a few changes to the design myself, but they never look as good as the original. A three-column version would be great, but I don’t have enough design instinct to see how that could be done without ruining it. The only major change I made (and yes, it’s quite minor) was to increase the font sizes so my older readers stopped bitching. I even kept Ulf’s image. I suppose if more people adopted the theme I’d be forced to modify it…

I’d also been despairing of finding a theme I liked – until I discovered Modern. Thank you Ulf for offering it.
I’ve done a couple of small tweaks, but I would still like to change the background colour of the area surrounding the central text area. I want the same pale grey (RGB 250/249/248) you use. But I am CSS illiterate enough that I cannot figure out how to do it. I would be grateful if someone could help me (and others who’ve made the same request).
Thanks!
januari 23rd, 2008 at 10:41
OK, I figured it out myself!
For those who haven’t, two steps editing style.css
1. In the ”Begin Typography & Colors” group, add this line:
background: rgb(250,249,248);
or whatever colour you want.
a bit further down, in the #content group, add this line:
background: rgb(250,250,250);
The latter maybe not necessary, but I assumed it was transparent by default.

My website is using Modern, and is widgetized- I downloaded a patch from the Internet somewhere. I will try and look for it.
januari 28th, 2009 at 19:23
First of all: Excellent theme! After searching hundreds and trying tens of different themes, I believe I have found the one I have been seeking in Modern.
Of course, I want to modify it a bit for my own use. Could anyone help me with how I can show the blog description either in the space that the title is in, below the page nav tabs, or at the top right of the pages (just below the title)?
Hope someone can help, and I thank you in advance for your assistance.

So elegant in its simplicity – refreshing as a fresh snowfall!
I do not have the exact quote, but Sir Isaac Stern had commented that the great violinists would know that the harder challenge is not the virtuoso fire and storm, but in the single sustained note.
Thank you very much for gifting everyone with the Modern theme, Ulf.

Thank’s for a great theme!

This is such a great theme, Ulf.
Does anybody know how I can change following: At the moment, name of my blog is the same as the name written with orange letters. Is that possible to changee?
And is it possbile to make differnt titles on the stativ pages, than the title on the menu on the top of the pages? ”Like where ”home is, could have a different headline on the page which it is reffering too?
Thanks a lot!

april 2nd, 2010 at 8:17
This is the theme which was looking for. The theme is truly minimalistic and gets loaded in a short span of time. I have suggested this theme to many of my friends who have been looking for a minimalist wordpress themes and personally looking forward to add this theme to one of my blog. Thanks for making this wonderful theme and for the free download.

Great info and theme. Ulf, do you think you might put in a help forum so people can help each other and find solutions easier? Also, anyone successfully widgetized or added a left sidebar as well?????? It’d be tremendously, stupendously appreciated if one of you coders could do a write up on one. ;)
