A very good theme, but again if the United States views the better
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in F:\www\googlechrome\index.php on line 1
Please install Wordpress and put this theme in /wp-content/themes/googlechrome/
Cool and neat theme. Thanks
cool theme
Can you translate for Blogger Beta ?

Thanks Genkisan for this wonderful theme for WordPress.

Thanks once again.

Take a look:

Nice one !
Thanks all for liking it!
@Philippe: Sorry but I know nuts about blogger. Perhaps you can check here. Gosu converted one of my theme, genkitheme, to blogger.
*update: your wish granted at http://btemplates.com/2008/09/11/google-chrome/
@Pratyush: Kewl
@caschy: Fixed. download the new zip file and re-upload the style.css file. Or if you like, you can edit the style.css. Find in line 382
replace with
This is a great design, thank you! I made a version for Google Blogger of this theme, here:

In english and spanish. Best regard!
Thanks once again
Thansk you. Themes very good.
New error:
in my editor i see my Image on the left – but in the blog it looks crappy. See screens:

You images is missing the css class for alignment. To edit your post, switch to HTML in your editor and change
<img src="http://planet-chrome.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome.jpg" alt="" align="left" />
to
<img src="http://planet-chrome.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome.jpg" alt="" class="alignleft" />
The Chrome Themes is Cool!!

It’s neat! Thanks.
Any idea how to change header.php file so that header would have category links (on top) instead of pages?
HTML-Editor? And when i start to use Live Writer? WYSIWYG – no Classes for CSS…
STandard Code for left pictures is:
without any classes. Why does this thme dont support that?
Mhh, no code posting allowed?
img height=”80″ src=”http://planet-chrome.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome.jpg” width=”80″ align=”left”
@Rick: Do you still need the “Home” tab? Need to know as the code will be different with and without the “Home” tab.
@caschy: I mean switch to html mode in the wordpress editor.
http://img526.imageshack.us/my.php?image=htmluy1.png
These css classes are for use in the new wordpress “add a media” uploader.
http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mediauploadqc2.png
If you have no use for these, you can delete them in the style.css file, from line 388 to 440. Then you can use back your previous method of aligning images.
thx!
Nice template clean and viral
I’m converted for Turkish. Thanks so much!
@Rick: Do you still need the “Home” tab? Need to know as the code will be different with and without the “Home” tab.
No need for “home” tab, just the categories. I tried to change the code myself but something is always wrong…no skills:)
Great theme, simple and beautiful design. I take great satisfaction.
This is great!!!! However, making different themes to change that look was my purpose these days…
@Rick: here you go
<div class='headermenu span-24'>
<ul>
<?php
$menupages = get_all_category_ids();
$menupagesnumber = count($menupages);
$menupagescount = 1;
foreach ($menupages as $menupage) :
$category = get_category($menupage[0]);
if ($category->parent == 0) {
?>
<li
<?php
if ($menupagescount==1) {
echo ' class="first"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount==1 ) {
echo ' id="firstcurrent"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount!=$menupagesnumber ) {
echo ' id="current"';
}
if ($menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' class="last"';
}
if (is_category($menupage[0]) && $menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' id="lastcurrent"';
}
$menupagescount++;
?>>
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($menupage[0]) ?>" title="<?php echo get_cat_name($menupage[0]) ?>"><?php echo get_cat_name($menupage[0]) ?></a></li>
<?php } else {$menupagesnumber--; } endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
this theme rocks. switching over my intranet to use this.. thx

Thank you so much. If you have time make a premium (paid) version that looks like iGoogle?
I don’t think I know enough ajax to clone igoogle
This would be a neat theme but it has one major flaw.
The best thing in Google Chrome is that it takes the least amount of desktop space and leaves the most to view a page. On my screen (1280×1024, not a rare dimension these days) this theme shows large empty spaces on both sides – which I personally hate anyways. If you could remove that, the theme would be awesome.
1280×1024 is not rare these day, but 1024×768 is still the base resolution, for now
Great job on the theme Genkisan. Clean, sharp, and reminds me of a certain browser (weird, eh?). Appreciate the hard work by the way. Made a few alterations and everything is looking good.
Nice, especially using the description bar for the post meta
Genkisan, shouldn’t a theme be resolution independent?
Fixed vs fluid.. I guess it comes down to personal preference
I use this themes, it’s very nice.
But on under post I can’t see “read more” text.
thanks for answer before.
addiehf: Issue resolved. You can download the new zip package and re-upload style.css, index.php, single.php and page.php
Thanks, it’s work now.
But I have 1 question again:
“how to display author link on post [up/down it good same], because on my site many author? And can sidebar made two?”
You can refer to this article on how to display author link
http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates
http://hackwordpress.com/how-to-adding-an-author-page-to-your-wordpress-blog/
For 2 column sidebar, I’m available for hire, do contact me here
Great theme! Simple and crisp, yet powerful. Just a question for you: How do you exclude pages with it? It appears that you don’t have the wp_list_pages() in your header code.
You can modify the query at line 27 in header.php
…AND post_parent = 0 AND ID!=4 AND ID!=5 ORDER BY menu_order ASC…
Add as many “AND ID!=xx” as required where xx is the page id.
Thanks again for your wonderful help. We all greatly appreciate it! Just another question: How can you exclude all pages, and then just include certain pages? Thanks in advance!
Just change the != into =
Hi Genkisan,
I too would like to exclude ALL pages and then just add about five pages.
I tried doing the:
AND ID=4 AND ID=5 AND ID=6
and that does not work.
I can only get one page to show up, if I add multiple AND ID=XX to the line, then no pages appear in the menu.
Oops.. the following should work.
To only show certain pages
…AND post_parent = 0 AND (ID=4 OR ID=5 OR ID=6) ORDER BY menu_order ASC…
To exclude certain pages
…AND post_parent = 0 AND ID!=4 AND ID!=5 AND ID!=6 ORDER BY menu_order ASC…
Thanks for the great theme
Hi, any idea why the page navigation tabs appear distorted in IE7 on my site?
I suspect your header.php is missing a “>” character.
Look for
Else replace your header.php with the original.
Thanks Genkisan, my mistake, all fixed now!
Nice theme, I love it! Keep up a good job
Just fantastic, cant wait to get it up on our site.
It’s nice that someone finally made some nice skins. I will have to use them on my blog some day.
很酷的Google chrome主题啊，
hi, thank you for your template, but I would like to amend the wording of “posts RSS” button and text links, and “edit”, but do not know how to modify, Can you tell me how to do?

Hi…comment security code is not displayed?? What do i do?
Comment security code? Are you using some plugins? Please check with the plugin author.
Hi, Congratulations for this magnificent theme.
I’ve been around adsense code to insert a light and none intrusive ads only after the first post (right after the “Fill” and “Comment” and right above the horizontal line division). Searching some WP forums for samples and trying different variations I can’t be able to do what I really want. On most occasions the ad is stucked with the tittle of the second post (after the ). Appreciate any help with this?
Eduardo, can you do a screencap so that I can get a clearer picture?
Thanks for replying Genkisan, I took a screenshot with the google advertisement banner on my localhost testing area but haven’t your email to send the 80Kb jpg to you. I could point you the website (it’s on a early phase) but without the adsense code.
Thanks again,
Eduardo
you can upload the screenshot to tinypic.com. But a live url with the adsense code would be the best option.
There’s the screenshot… hope this works
[IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2sb63yv.jpg[/IMG]
I took the adsense insertion code from http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/ (text box with the option to appear only under the first post and nowhere else)
Regards
trying pasting your adsense code within the postmeta div e.g
<div class="postmeta">Filed in <?php the_category(', ') ?> with <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?><br />ADSENSECODE</div>
Right on target.
Thank you for the support Genkisan.
Thanks for such a neat theme! I am just about converting one of my static sites to WP, so the theme sure got in handy, thansk again!
thanks for the theme. i am using it now, it’s fantastic and i really love it.
thank you very much for sharing…
Nice.
And What about google chrome theme for drupal 6.x?:)
Looking forward to…
Thanks.
Good job. I’m using Chrome on http://www.lavorointernet.org

Hi,
Noticed a few bugs in v1.1.
1. Icons “home”, “bookmark” and “feed” won’t show in FF2 (Windows).
2. Tag cloud won’t show. There is a bug in the sidebar.php:
instead of
the code snippets are lost in my previous comment (it’s not clear what tags are allowed in the comments. I’ll try to replace angle brackets with codes):
<? wp_tag_cloud(); ?> instead of
<?php wp_tag_cloud(); ?>
Thanks Denis for the heads up.
Fixed both bugs. Try re-uploading style.css, header.php and sidebar.php
Wonderful theme. I am using it now. I really love it.
Thank you very much …
Hi,
Can you please tell me how to remove the HOME tab?
Thanks,
Diego
Replace line 26-50 in header.php with
<ul>
<?php
$menupages = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'page' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_parent = 0 ORDER BY menu_order ASC");
$menupagesnumber = count($menupages);
$menupagescount = 1;
foreach ($menupages as $menupage) :
?>
<li
<?php
if ($menupagescount==1) {
echo ' class="first"';
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount==1 ) {
echo ' id="firstcurrent"';
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount!=$menupagesnumber && $menupagescount!=1) {
echo ' id="current"';
}
if ($menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' class="last"';
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ' id="lastcurrent"';
}
$menupagescount++;
?>>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($menupage->ID); ?>" title="<?php echo $menupage->post_title; ?>"><?php echo $menupage->post_title; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Thanks for your theme, I love it. You’re missing a few semicolons in this comment, so this code will produce an error. Here is the corrected code:
get_results(“SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = ‘page’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_parent = 0 ORDER BY menu_order ASC”);
$menupagesnumber = count($menupages);
$menupagescount = 1;
foreach ($menupages as $menupage) :
?>
<li
ID) && $menupagescount==1 ) {
echo ‘ id=”firstcurrent”‘;
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount!=$menupagesnumber && $menupagescount!=1) {
echo ‘ id=”current”‘;
}
if ($menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ‘ class=”last”‘;
}
if (is_page($menupage->ID) && $menupagescount==$menupagesnumber) {
echo ‘ id=”lastcurrent”‘;
}
$menupagescount++;
?>>
<a href="ID); ?>” title=”post_title; ?>”>post_title; ?>
Oops.. thanks. Snippet updated.
I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
Are you referring to this GoogleChrome theme or the Chrome browser? If you are talking about the theme, mind elaborating on the compromises?
Very nice theme, thanks for making it available.
The only issue I’ve seen so far is that a numbered list (ol) has the first (most significant) digit chopped off (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, …) on Firefox 3.0.4 on Ubuntu. Haven’t tried another browser yet. May need a margin or indent or something. I’ll try to fiddle with the CSS.
Thanks for the heads up. You can add the following css to fix it.
.content ul, .content ol {
padding-left: 1em;
}
Can you ad a box of say six squares for ads in Googlechrome?
I think I’ve seen this off the right side of thescreen a 3 inch by 4 inch or so box with six squares used for ads.
Is this a widget?
Abyone know how to do this?
Try the WP125 Ad Management plugin
Very good job. I’m using Chrome on http://www.rizomatica.net/

Thank you so much for this theme. If you check out my blog you will notice I am using your theme and it works perfectly. Now all I need to do is make my homepage as good looking as your theme!
Hi there – any ideas as to how I would change your sub-title bar?
[see source tag below]

Just another WordPress weblog

Can’t find the editable page anywher
thanks,
J
Actually the text is from Admin > Settings > General > Tagline.
If you want to manually input the text, it’s in header.php line 70 (<?php bloginfo(‘description’) ?>)
I searched all web for answer the question:
“how can i put a image in header at google chrome templade”?
Can you help me?
Thanks!
You can add the following code to bottom of header.php
<div class='span-24'>
<br />
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/header.png" />
</div>
Genkisan
Thank you very much!
You are a genius!
Now, i just need insert a image in footer band.
By the way, congratulations for your Work and atention!
Genkisan
To put a image n footer, just need to do the same you said to header. Thanks a lot! Very easy!
Now, i’m trying two things:
First: When i translate comments.php to portuguese, i have this:
Before: Leave a Comment
After (Portuguese): Deixe um comentário
What appears in web: Deixe um coment rio
Do you know that?
Second: Is it possible include this?
See this: http://i35.tinypic.com/1zo9agz.jpg
Consists in include a background blue in title post. Am i dreaming?
Bye bye, Thank you again and sucess!
For 1st one, not sure as I’m not familiar with wordpress localisation/tranlsation.
For 2nd one, you can see how it’s done for the bloginfo('description') in header.php. If you need help, I’m available for hire.
Well structured, good idea basing on the Google Chrome browser, i prefer Safari.. there you go, build a safari based theme lol. Cheers
this theme is soo beatiful
How can you get comments to show up under the specific post?
I’m trying to get the last 3 comments to display under specific posts with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated!
I’m not sure what you mean.
Hi Genkisan,
Great theme, clean and fast!
I have a question.
When I change my theme to your Google Chrome theme, the the width of the posting area is different.
This means that the postings will have a different layout / look.
So, I’d like to change the width of the page / sidebar etc.
How can that be accomplished?
Change the numbers in bold. They should add up to 24, e.g 16+8, 17+7
index.php – line 2: span-16
sidebar.php – line 1: span-8
thx Genkisan, that worked out very well.
By increasing the font and allignment it looks better for me.
Other question: If 1 click on a tag in the tagcloud the sidebar is repositioned underneath the tag results…
Think the sidebar supposed to stay on the left side at all time.
Any help?
thx
Seems ok on my side. If it occurs only on certain tags page, then most likely it’s some individual post that exceeds the content width, pushing the sidebar down.
thx, problem solved! It was an old Archive page that was messing things up.
Really like what you did. But just came up with a strange problem. My blog has 6 pages.The Categories, Blogroll, etc section is on the right hand side on all my pages now except the Home page. There it is at the very bottom, left hand side. If I go to the bottom of the Home Page and hit “Previous Posts” the Home page the previous posts are on are all fine. It is just the latest page.
Any ideas?
Seems ok on my side. It probably some individual post that exceeds the content width, pushing the sidebar down.
哇哦，GOOGLE，太漂亮了！如果做成拖拉的方式就更好了！

Hello
I entered 125ADS banners on the right hand column of my site http://www.lavorointernet.org but I can not place it over 2 columns. In ads plugin I decide to put them in 2 Columns but remains one below the other. I would put them two by two. How can I do? (The banners are on the right column at the bottom)
Thanks for your attention
Edit the plugin css file (wp125.css). In the last line, change “padding:10px;” to “padding:6px;”.
You may also want to edit wp125.php. In line 150, change
echo '</div>';
to
echo '</div><div style="clear:both"></div>';
It would be possible to split the column in half for 2 sidebar? How could I do?
In any case, great job, congratulations
Yes it’s possible but there’s considerable code involved in a few files (sidebar.php, style.css, functions.php and graphics file). If you like to have the feature, I’m available for hire.
Hi,
I love this theme and after testing it I’d like to use it on an another website as well.
To avoid editting the wrong website i’d like to have a different color for the header background and the url’s (both blue)
Is it possible?
Sure. Just edit the style.css and graphics files.
pfff, I’m not such a editting guy. Do I have to replace the graphics??
Yes, the header is mainly graphics files.
thats nice and very very useful for me . thanks alot
Hi guys, im enjoying this theme. But i need some help:

Can you helpme please??
Maxi Sanchez
Tick the checkbox in the Admin > Settings > Discussion > Enable threaded (nested) comments.

does this theme support comment cookie?
I’m not sure what’s that.
For some reason the reply links in my post comments aren’t showing up. Do I need to activate them somehow?
The theme is on http://youthbloggers.com/
Never mind, I got it working. Didn’t realize it needed to be activated in WordPress.
I love this theme. I will use it after new year!

Is there any chance you could make it into a bbPress theme? That would be wonderful for me. I’m using it on my site at (http://youthbloggers.net/) but want to switch to a bbPress forum (as opposed to my current Simple:Press forum). However I would like the forum to fit “seamlessly” with the rest of the site.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with bbPress.
ola. seus templates são muito bem feito, gostei muito de visitar sua página…
thanks for the theme…. i love it…
by the way i made mine into a three column layout..
I’m having trouble getting the Login/SiteAdmin links to show up on the sidenbar. Any idea why that would missing on my site while using this theme?
I tried adding the Meta widget and it looks ok on my side.
Dumbass question, but where would I go in your code to change the color of the orange text? tks
In style.css, look for
.content h1 a {
color: #f60;
text-decoration:none;
}
hi. can you please tell me how to remove dates?

my blog subject is Chinese high-quality consumer electronics Knowledge base. http://www.dashshopping.com/blog/,it is Google Chrome Theme.
I love clean templates, nice colors pickup, it looks effective. I hope to see more themes like this one.
Thanks you.
I love this theme.
But there’s a small problem. Seems the theme won’t record the Name, Mail and website.
I’m not sure what you mean. Mind elaborating?
Thanks for the great theme
Is it possible to move the sidebar to the left?
I am looking for a theme with left sidebar.
In index.php, delete “<?php get_sidebar() ?>”. Then replace
<div class='content span-16'>
with
<?php get_sidebar() ?>
<div class='content span-15 prepend-1'>
Repeat for single.php and page.php.

very nice theme
thank you..
It’s possible to change the color of right column?
Thanks for your attention
In style.css, change “background-color: #e1ecfe;” to your desired color.
Also change sidebarbottom.gif and sidebartop.gif to the same color.
Great Wordpress theme! I’m trying to customize a few items. The first item is the RSS button to the right of the star (add this/favorites button). Is there a way to change where the RSS button points to when clicked? Right now it’s set to domainname.com/feed can I change it to my feedburner url? how?
Also,
how can I change the color of the font next to the home page button (orange) and the color of the blog posts (orange)? And what about the color of the sidebar text?
Very clean and professional, simple theme, thanks!
Thanks!
To redirect feed, use the Feed Locations plugin.
To change the orange text, search style.css for #f00 and replace with your own color.
For sidebar text, add the folowing to style.css and replace with your own colors.
.sidebarbox {
color:#f00;
}
.sidebarbox a {
color:#0f0;
}
.sidebarbox a:hover {
color:#00f;
}
Genkisan,
Thanks for your quick responses before!
I tried installing “feed locations” plugin for your google chrome theme, and it’s incompatible. I tried other plugins for feedburner but they also did not work. What I want to do is have the feed icon that is located on the top of your theme redirect to my feedburner2 feed instead of the domain.com/feed default. I can’t figure it out… thanks for your guidance/help/suggestions.
hey it started working with this plugin:
“FD Feedburner Plugin”
How do I “hide” or not display “tags” and “filed in” at the bottom of each post? I only want that to show up in the far right sidebar. Is there a way to only show the “add comment”/reply section after each post?
thanks!
sorry for the 21 questions game lol.
also… how do I remove the bar below the main header? the bar below the star/favorites icon and rss icon…
also, i adjusted the color of the sidebar as per your instruction, but i don’t see the area to change the small color on top and bottom of the sidebar…
“”"”
In style.css, change “background-color: #e1ecfe;” to your desired color. (DID THAT NO PROB, but below can’t figure out?)
Also change sidebarbottom.gif and sidebartop.gif to the same color.
“”"
thanks so much!
also, is there a way to work with you for hire to help me with other blog projects in custom designing?
i have a few small blogs i want to setup and am not too good with this stuff, and love how you keep your blogs simple and easy, but it also looks like you make more complex ones with tons of features that i might want to implement, but would need help doing so im guessing you probably are for hire too right? please let me know how to contact for hire services?
To remove tags, open index.php and single.php and delete
<?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) { ?>
<?php the_tags('<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>
<?php } ?>
To remove “filed in”, open index.php and delete
<div class="postmeta">Filed in <?php the_category(', ') ?> with <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?></div>
Open single.php and delete
<div class="postmeta">Filed in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | '); ?></div>
To remove header bar, open header.php and delete
<div class='msgbartop span-24'><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/msgbartop.gif" alt="msgbartop" /></div>
<div class='msgbar span-24'>
<?php bloginfo('description') ?>
</div>
<div class='msgbarbottom span-24'><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/images/msgbarbottom.gif" alt="msgbarbottom" /></div>
To change the the sidebar color, you need to use an image editor and change the color for sidebarbottom.gif and sidebartop.gif (in the images folder).
Thanks for the opportunity but I’m not taking on projects at the moment.
Very cool theme! Thanks!
How would I add the “My Blog” code into my google chrome wordpress theme? here are the instructions… where do I put it though?—
To get started, add the code below to your blog template in between the OPEN body () tag and the CLOSE body () tag and republish. The optimal place is just after the OPEN body () tag. Tracking will begin immediately after the code has been added to your blog.
Open header.php, look for “<div class="wrapper">” and paste the code above it.
Thanks for good theme. I have problem with side bar. If tag “!-More-” between tag “div” then sidebar push down to the bottom. Please tell me how to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance.
What’s your blog url?
My site : http://ebookhouse.org
Side bar often push down when tag “!-More-” between tag “div”, and I often change in HTML. It took from me much time.
It will be great if you can help me.
Thank you in advance.
Seems to work on my demo blog. For this , can you use the normal “more” tag so that I can see the sidebar push-down problem.
Thank you, I use “” tag. What is normal “more” tag ?
Yes, the “<!–more–>” is the normal tag. But I don’t see the sidebar push-down problem on your blog.
I modified by HTML code. If “More” tag between “div” tag then side bar will push down.
Very cool theme! Thanks!
I put a static page in homepage. The page is now being repeated 2 times, in homepage and as normal static page. How can I do to get the static page as the homepage, without the other same page?Thank you very much
Do you mean to remove the page from the top tabs? Try this hack
http://ericulous.com/2008/09/09/wp-theme-google-chrome/#comment-7561
Otherwise I think the page will always be there assessable from a separate url.
Exactly this. Thanks
Genkisan,
I’ve uploaded and activated the googlechrome theme, but it’s not working–please see expensivechocolates.com. Any suggestions? I am using wp2.8
Some of your other free themes don’t work either.
Other free themes from other sources seem to work.
I wonder what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks for the theme though, I like it!
The style.css file is not accessible.
http://expensivechocolates.com/wp-content/themes/googlechrome/style.css
Check that it’s in the correct folder and file permission is 644.
Thanks for the reply–I tried your suggestions, still no different.
I am using godaddy for hosting and file management.
I changed the permission for the style.css file as follows:
Web user permissions: changed to read.
Owner permissions: left as is, read/write.
The syle.css file is in wp-content/themes/googlechrome/ directory.
No change.
What do you suggest next?
Thanks!
I played around with permissions and got it fixed. Thanks for the idea with changing permissions.
I looked at my other themes that were working correctly, and they all had as follows:
For all folders, including the parent folder for the theme, 755.
For all files, they had 644.
These are the permissions as is when I uploaded them using the godaddy file manager.
When I uploaded the zip of your theme, and unarchived it using the godaddy file manager, the default was 700 for all folders and files.
I them manually changed folders to be 704, and files to be 604. Doesn’t seem godaddy’s file manager let’s you edit the ‘group’ permissions. This worked.
I guess I could have manually used an FTP program to manually switch everything to 644 like your suggestion was maybe in the first place
But I need to stay in godaddy’s file manager and not go to an FTP program.
Thanks again!
Hi, another question
Your theme is working on my site, expensivechocolates.com, but the 404.php doesn’t seem to be working–for example, if you go to
expensivechocolates.com/asdfasdfas (shouldn’t exist), it doesn’t seem to create a message anywhere on the browser “Error” –I believe this is causing my site not to be verified by Google Webmaster, because my site is returning a 200 for what should be a 404 error…
is the 404.php correct or am I doing something wrong?
any suggestions?
thanks!
Fixed it. (not sure if this was the best way, but I used http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page)
I deleted your 404.php file, and uploaded a new one with:
Error 404 – Not Found
This change along enabled me to get verified with Google Webmaster Tools, plus when I go to a non-existent page, it will show “Error 404: Nothing found” (or whatever I want) on the page instead of showing nothing….
Maybe this was obvious, but this was new to me….
Thanks again for the theme, love it!!!
I use this theme for my blog! This Theme is awesome, love it! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks 10x for the theme! clean,fast and easy to use.
Forgive me if I’m asking a simple question, but what file and where do you edit the “Not Just Another Theme Demo” wording?
Great theme by the way!
Under WP-Admin > Settings > General > Tagline
Can you recommend an easy way to increase the default font size for all text in the pages and sidebars? Where in the CSS? Thanks.
In style.css, add the following to body
font-size: 100%;
This is a very nice theme. At the moment, you can see it work on my blog!
I’ve always liked seeing the gmail, google chrome, facebook etc. type of wordpress themes.
Hello what do you think you share the PSD? Or sell me if any.
I’m changing a little, but would be simpler with the PSD of the subject.
Well in my case it did not work the RSS, the rest was cool.
See the error of the RSS at: http://www.chrome.co.cc
Sorry I don’t have the psd files anymore.
Hi, I really like the theme and I’d like to use it on my new website, but when I try to install it it’s not recognized by wordpress….the same thing happens if I want to install the SoftwareHolic theme.
I’ve tried changing permissions: 755 to every file and directory did not work
755 to all directories and 644 to all files also did not work
I have the SofwareHolic theme already installed on another site using the same hosting account, and it works fine with permission 755 for all files and folders.
Any hints?
Thanks
Not too sure. Maybe you can check with your host.
Nice template clean and viral
Hi and thanks for a wonderfully simple theme.
Not a big coder myself so i post the question here in hopes that you are willing to provide an answer.
Is is possible to alter the theme to display the posts in a rounded corner box?
Kind regards,
Hein
Sorry but there’s too much code/images involved. Hint: see the code for the sidebar rounded box (sidebar.php).
very nice theme thank u for theme
This google chrome theme is very interesting, i will have a try
I have a feeling that wp has so much better looking templates than blogger. Guess i made a msitake choosing blogger over the wp.
Genkisan: I’ve been using the Google Chrome Wordpress Theme for 8 months now and absolutely LOVE it! For some reason, the “comments” section and ability for a reader to add a comment is only present in my About and Contact page. I want my readers to be able to leave a comment within the content such as after reading an article (but not have to actually click the article’s title to view only that article). For instance, if they are on my main URL- http://www.brentgrab.com how do they leave a content for one of the articles they are reading without manually clicking on the article title to view only that article? Thanks!
Try this plugin
thanks again for your quick response and nice support of one of the best wordpress themes out there!
I’m sorry to bother you again— I activated the AJaxed plugin and having difficulty configuring to display comments on the main page instead of just the individual post pages like it defaults to with Google Chrome theme. If you can help me I would be much appreciative. I understand the navigation of the admin panel of the plugin, but after trying various combinations of checking/unchecking options I can’t get it to work. Also, not sure if I need to make any edits in .php file, etc. Please advise… thank you!
I’ve not used the plugin before so unable to help you here.
How do you change the Font Color of the Dates (i.e. 20 January 10) in each post?
Add color to .content h1 class in style.css
.content h1 {
font-size: 1.3em;
font-weight: bold;
color:#f00;
}
great thanks! One last question for a while I promise… how do I adjust the font thickness/bold of the standard font being used for each blog post Title… (the blog post title seems a bit thicker/heavier than the blog name) and I was hoping to make the individual blog post titles a little less bold… thanks!
disregard i found out how to fix— however i am still trying to make the BLOG TITLE thicker– the very top of the page below the pages My blog title looks bold but not as thick as each individual blog post…
Add font-weight to .blogtitle class
.blogtitle {
color:#FF0033;
display:inline-block;
font-size:1.5em;
height:30px;
vertical-align:top;
font-weight:bold;
}
I like it, but just refreshed my blog site so i really don’t have the patience to do it all over again. But true, very cool design.
Hi, really nice job! But I use qtranslate as I need my site to be multilingual and I see that the function for heardermenu isn’t compatible with qtranslate as it loads all language versions of the page titles as one title. In order to avoid it I tried to replace this part of code:
$menupages = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = ‘page’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_parent = 0 ORDER BY menu_order ASC”);
with this one:
$menupages = wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’ );
It almost did the trick, but the last page tab looked wrong and I got also the following error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xseon/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/googlechrome/header.php
Can you provide a workaround of this?
Unfortunately wp_list_pages won’t work for the header tabs, hence the custom sql.
You may want to consider hardcoding them.
Really like this theme, but for some reason the category name is appearing in front of the title. It isn’t happening on other themes, and I’ve tried activating a different one and then coming back to this one, but no luck. Any ideas how to fix this? TIA, and nice work.
There’s some extra code “<span class="caps">” in the title. Check whether they are in your theme files or if there’s any code syntax error. Or maybe they are added by a plugin.
I was combing through the theme files, trying to find that extra span tag, but as soon as you said “plugin,” I realized it was the wp-typography one. Thanks so much – you rock.
Hi this theme is fantastic!
Can I change the title of blog with a logo created with Gimp?
http://i46.tinypic.com/2eoce2w.jpg
Can you help me?
Thanks for this theme!
In header.php , replace “<?php bloginfo('name') ?>” with “<img src="http://domain.com/image.gif" />”
Excuse me, I forgot to specify that I’m using the theme in local on my pc with wamp and that address is http://localhost/blogtest/
Now I have to specify the folder where find the image as in this case? C:\wamp\www\blogtest\wp-content\themes\googlechrome\images\blogtest.gif
Thanks.
Should work locally and live: <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/blogtest.gif" />
Work! Thanks!
Hi, my blog is almost ready, now I would like to move the author and the date under the title of the post, like this:

Hi, if I want to use the widget searchbox of wordpress, Is possibile to remove the searchbox of this theme?
Thanks.
or, alternatively, insert the searchbox in the sidebar?
Hi,
Could you please tell me how to make the overall width of the template/blog slightly narrower? I love this template and now inserted it with frame on my site so that when user clicks ‘blog’ link it does not take them to a separate page to the hosted wordpress blog, but instead they can view it right from my domain within the site- more integrated look. Only problem is the blog width is about .5″ too wide for what i need, so a small scroll bar appears bottom of the blog since it doesn’t fit. Please advise on how to fix the width to make a bit less wide overall template size or to modify side modules to make site less wide, whichever works. Thank You!
Also, is it bad if I embedded the wordpress blog onto my site within a frame- for SEO Purposes? I know this might be out of your specialty, but is there a way to integrate your awesome theme/wordpress blog and put it on my joomla site without wrecking the SEO benefits of wordpress?
Changing the width will require much recoding as this theme is using the blueprint framework. You will need to change the columns count across multiple files. Read up the tutorials at http://wiki.github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/tutorials
I not sure how joomla works but I’m guessing a non-iframe is probably better than iframe. So a direct link to the blog should do better for SEO.
