About Simple Round

Simple Round is, as the name implies a simple theme designed to load fast and take advantage of CSS3 properties. Because it takes advantage of the CSS3 border-radius property, it only uses 2 images. Furthermore Both images are optional. One is used to create a titled background for the page,  & the other is used as a banner. While the theme won’t look pixel perfect across every browser & operating system combination, it will fail gracefully on the browsers that fall short of the CSS standards.

Features

  • It is centered on the page.
  • It Can be fluid, or fixed width.

    I am not able to edit this theme. In the WP editor, it says that I need to make the file writable before I can save my changes, but the permissions are set already set at 777.

    Hi Dan

    I hope to use your theme on grinde.dk (test at grinde.dk/new).

    Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the automatically generated “Home” in the top menu. In Danish “Forside” = Home.

    All the best
    Morten

  3. Morten says:

    Ohh Sorry I found out by myself. In header.php I just deleted:

    <a href="/” title=”Home”>Home

    All the best

      Morten, I’m glad you Found it. At some point, I’m planing to write an admin screen, that will let people control the stuff I currently have hard coded into the Theme.

    I am trying to change the widgets in the sidebar and it is not working. How do I change them? I drag and drop, but the blog stays the same with the default ones you had in there. Please help! (love the design overall)
    Thanks.

      Hi Lori,

      What version of WordPress are you running? Are your running a caching plugin? Have you cleared out your browser cache?

    Somehow I lost the footer. I didn’t take out the code in the footer:
    Or the code out of the index.php, page.php or single.php

    What other reasons would make the footer not show up?

    • Carol says:

      I found the problem:
      IN index.php, page.php & single.php copy and delete everything under get footer tag.
      Then paste it into the footer and delete wp_footer tag. Then footer comes back and everything works.

    I’m glad you figured it out Carol.
