Hello everyone and welcome to yet another installment of WordPress Theme Releases proudly brought to you by Weblog Tools Collection. I realize we just had a release post a couple of days ago but a few great themes popped up in our forums so I thought I would bring them to your attention right away. Clean Green The folks at DynamicWP have been turning out some fantastic themes as of late and their latest offering Clean Green is no different. As the name implies, green is the dominant colour of this theme. The various shades of green used in this theme go well together. Clean Green comes with a widgetized right sidebar and a widgetized 3 column footer. Flickr and Twitter streams are built-in and appear as widgets on the widget screen. From the theme’s options page you can use a custom logo, a custom Gravatar and exclude both pages […]

Good morning everyone and welcome to the latest installment of WordPress Theme Releases. Let’s get right to it. Voidy Voidy comes to us from Niyaz of Diovo.com and sports a crisp and clean minimalistic design. That combined with the large typeface makes it easy to concentrate on the content. From the theme’s options page you can set a custom logo, include a Twitter link and offer an email subscription via Feedburner. You can also select some custom text to display in the sidebar. Paino Polaraul.com brings us Paino, a simple and generic theme featuring a widgetized left sidebar and dressed in an easy-on-the-eyes pastel colour palette. It has breadcrumb navigation built-in.

Cleaning Up A WordPress Database After Plugins and Themes Are Uninstalled

responses

I have been thinking about this post for a while.  It really started to come to me after I went through a server move of my own website which I discussed on this site last month – Moving Your WordPress Site and Database. I did a lot of manual cleaning of my database to get rid of orphaned tables that had been in the database since the day I first set up a WordPress based website. The majority of these defunct tables were from either themes or plugins that I had used at different points in the life of WindowsObserver.com.  As you all know you try out a lot of stuff on your site – mine had 3 years worth of it in there! Of course I had uninstalled the theme or plugin but a majority of these do not remove the information they leave in your database.  Now I […]

responses

These WordPress themes may be tiny, but they pack a big visual punch. These themes are great for sites with audiences with limited access to broadband, or any blog that wants to focus on speed and clean design. Baughxie – a polished but very lightweight two column theme. Mini – Minimal and elegant three column theme. Simple Green – Very professional and very fast. R755 – Simple yet sophisticated. Can be either two or three columns. Swift – This is actually more of a theme framework than a theme. It has a theme options page with layout, font, and color options. Nicely done.

Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. Fortunately for me it is a long weekend here and I sure can use the extra day off. Here are the latest plugins fresh from the oven.

responses

Perennial Weblog Tools Collection community favorite Who Sees Ads can be used to show ads only to certain visitors – such as people who have arrived on your site from a search engine. It’s a useful way to improve your click-through-ratio, and please your regular readers by hiding ads from them. This is a quick introduction to using the plugin. Showing ads only to search engine visitors is extremely simple – Who Sees Ads can do much, much more. Check out the links at the end of this article for more information. NOTE: Although the plugin says it’s for WordPress 2.5, it works fine with WordPress 2.92. I haven’t been able to test it with 3.0 yet because I don’t have any 3.0 test sites indexed in any search engines yet. Anyone else know if it works with 3.0? If you don’t want to do this with a plugin, you […]

Hello everyone. You may or may not know me. My name is Len and I normally toil away in the forums here at WLTC testing all of the theme submissions before they make it here to the main site.
