Very clean and fine design. I’m using it right now!
Pretty cool..
It’s a cool design. How do I expand the width of the layout? There is too much space at the sides, I want mine to fill up the entire screen. Thanks
This is a fixed-width layout. I’m sorry..
How do I add support for ÅÄÖ in the javascript files?
1.1.0 – Admin panel with changelog (via RSS)
But on wordpress.org (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/lightword) there’s only ver. 1.06. Are they the same or is there a disalignement?
It’s under moderation on wordpress.org
Thank you. Great work. Simple, flexible, minimal. A must.
Only a question: visualization problem when inserting text widget, is fixed on 1.1.0?
Thank you.
Well, not yet. Anyway, there is no problem if text widget have a title.
Mhh..problems on showing static pages in 1.1.0 :(
Content can’t be read. Perhaps problems with the loop on retriving data.
1.1.2 is alive on wordpress.org and it works just fine.

I’ll have a look. Thanks for support!
Great work. :)
Thanks a lot !!
I get an error when i try to upload images to a post.
“The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/a3813880/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/05.”
Is this an error in the theme or my settings?
Nope, it’s a directory permission problem.
More info:
http://andrewcrvz.comoj.com/blog/2009/03/31/the-uploaded-file-could-not-be-moved-wordpress-error/
The accent doesnt work in the title :
éà etc…
Please update to latest version, go to theme admin panel and disable cufon or activate extra characters.
Nice template and cool layout. I like this template very much. Thankyou
Thanks!
Looks like the text in the header under the blog name (where it states the purpose/nature of the blog) does not align in Mozilla and is hidden under the top portion of the white background (while it looks fine in Safari and IE).
Any input?
Any screenshot? In Firefox 3.0.10 works fine..
Looks like updating the browser (here at work) to the lastest version worked. Thanks!
Although impressive using one bg image for all elements makes this template uneditable. I could change it, but not with real unnecessary difficulty.
Hello,
I’m using your theme in one of my websites and I created a page as a child of another page, but there’s no indentation showing on the pages widget.
Would you please update the theme to provide such an option, or instruct me on how to do that?
Thank you!
Hi,
great theme but I have one problem: german umlauts (e.g. ö ä ü) don’t show up in the headers. In the article itself everything is fine. It’s just the headers.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Schlauschiesser
Forgot two things:
1) I could translate the theme to german if you like,
2) the Umlauts show up just fine in the preview. They disappear as soon as I activate the theme.
Sorry for bothering you again.
Hi,
Sorry you contact form didn’ work so I post here.
I’ve done a french translation of your theme you could get an archive containing the .po/.mo on my blog : http://mu.biologie-france.com/blog/2009/06/10/traduction-du-theme-lightword/ .
Thank you for your theme
Sébastien
the theme looks really nice, but i am experiencing a little problem. as long as i am logged in wto my wordpress, everything looks right, but when you are not logged in the little date/comment blocks on the left side are moved to the right and overly the actual post.
Do you have an idea?
Thanks for the theme; it sold me on going back to a blog-style site. Very nice work.
Hola, y muchas gracias por su theme, tengo un problema que es cuando ingreso a las opciones del theme, tildo algunas opciones, y luego presiono, guardar y no hace nada, simplemente no guarda. Me podrian ayudar?
What does the “Enjoy this post” feature mean?
Hi, I also have a problem with international characters (åäö etc.) not showing up in my titles and headers. Would it be possible to add support for this?
beautiful theme!! But how can i activate the german translation in the “lang” folder?
Super theme, but I have problem with polish markers in headers. It’s showing normal in default theme, but disappear in LightWord.
Disable Cufon from Theme Option Panel.
Theme is very nice! problem with plugins Lightbox, image not open this plugin
Buna ziua, folosesc tema Dvs si am o problema pe IE, imi apare footer-ul in dreapta sus, ce are trebuii sa updatez, sau daca exista un update general. Multumesc
In widget-ul Stiri prin RSS aveti un tag p care nu este inchis corect.
I adore lightword, its neat clean and detailed as I wanted but only problem, it does not support nested comments. or am I missing something?
Theme is very nice! problem with plugins Lightbox, image not open this plugin.
I have Disabled the Cufon from Theme Option Panel but don’t work
@cenOTapH: No, it’s on todo list.
@FerNandoT: It’s probably a jQuery conflicting problem.
See this topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/281780
hey,iv installed your nice theme…but how do i customize settings? like transparent background, archive page as you promised…PLEASE help..thanks
@Jin
Transparent background – you can change the background color or put some nice image in the background (that’s manually, from CSS file).
Archive page – Go to WP-Admin -> Pages -> Add new -> Attributes (right sidebar) -> Template -> Select “Blog archive” -> Put some title and press Publish.
I love this theme!
How to I get the index.php page not to wrap? On all the other pages I don’t have this problem, but on the home page I see that the width I can’t fix.
Any help would be fantastic`-`
thanks,
Johnny-“
Probably you have some unclosed tags in posts (a lot of junk-code and.. DOCTYPE?!) or text-widgets.
Also, you must know that is not easy o make it wider because it’s a fixed-width layout.
Hi, I love the theme! Everything seems to work except for one thing though. I am using the plugin Simple AJAX Shoutbox 1.0, and the widget on the sidebar. There is empty space on the sidebar for where the shoutbox should be, but the shoutbox itself never seems to load. I have tested it on other themes, and the shoutbox works correctly. If it helps to know, the shoutbox was made using jquery, but otherwise, I am not sure what is causing it to not load. Thanks in advance for your help!
-Michael
Thanks, I checked the code, and there are no un-closed tags or anything, and I removed all the text- widgets too, but it still has this issue.
I tried with 4 other themes, and the same problem is happening, and so I think that it is a problem with wordpress and not your theme.
I love this theme, such a beautiful design, thanks so much for sharing`-`
Johnny`-`
Please check this article:

@michael: What version of lightword do you have?
I’m getting paragraph characters in my post — why?
1.7.1 Comment system broke, only thing i changed is permalinks to….
” /http:/www.yadigg.net/%postname% ”
Could this have broken the comment shortcut?
When you click an article or comment box it just says “Page not found” and returns you to the homepage.
Yes.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
I’d like to keep the comment system working as well as use permalinks with the %postname% function.
Can that be done?
Fixed it, thanks again Andrei you’re the best
I’m just starting to use this theme. Nice work! I’d like to add more space at the top, any pointers on how to do that? Thanks!
I love the template. However, when I activate the Coppermine Integration plugin it messes up the format of the search box ( mvicknair.com ). Any ideas? Also, how can I remove the RSS feed button from the top?
Is there any way to allow people to comment attachments like for example a page like this > http://jerseysteve.com/?attachment_id=330 there is no place to allow people to comment :(
@Steve: My bad, fixed in the next version.
Hi Andrei, very nice theme.
Congrats for that!
Regards, Gastón
Is there any way to find out what files and/or lines of code changed? I don’t want to loose all my changes.
@Thomas: What version are you using right now? I can’t give you very detailed information (there are a lot of small bug fixes, crossbrowsing, etc) but I can help.
I was just thinking in general. The auto update feature is great, unless the site owner changes anything. Then they loose all customization. :( An ongoing list of changes would be nice.
I love this theme. What are the changes being made in these newer versions?
hi andrei,
very nice theme.
i like it very much.
but is it just me or what cos i dont seem to have navigation link below the post (next post or previous post)
Andrei.
Amazing theme. I am unable to get it to render on IE7. FF 3.0 it looks great. Not sure if it is something I am not doing correctly. 4happyfamily.com
@Kevin: Thanks, looks fine on my end (IE Tester). Screenshot?
Try this: http://4happyfamily.com/forandrei.jpg
@Kevin:
I have tested it on a real IE7 and it’s ok.

Hi Andrei,
thanks in advice for the great theme. Very nice and elegant too ;)
I’ve installed it today but I’ve a little problem with the pages link: I’ve created some of these but when I try to click on them nothing happen!
Tried on FF 3.5 and on IE. Nothing change!
@Federico: Thanks, URL please.
Thanks for your theme, but wordpress still show 1.8.3, and no way to download 1.8.6
and 1.8.5 does not support firefox well, bad news.
@Steven Li: 1.8.6 it’s not available yet.
1.8.5 should work fine, what version of firefox do you have?
I am using v1.8.5. Beautiful theme, thanks a lot. I encountered one issue though. In IE8, at the very bottom, the rounded corners/footer will be misaligned by 1 pixel. If you move the mouse over, it will revert back to normal. It occurs after each page refresh. Thanks again!
Hello,
Your theme is so great !
I would like to change my Header RSS Url info from “http://www.obturations.com/?feed=rss2″ to “http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=obturations”
How can i change manually the link ?
Thanks for the fantastic theme!!
@Eric: Please post the website URL.
@Merwen:
Manually: Line 461 (v1.8.5) from functions.php
Also, you can use some feedburner wordpress plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedburner-plugin/
Shawn: Thank you.
Hello mate,
I used it for my website!
Hello,
can’t see umlauts in Titles in 1.8.6 like here: http://www.tom-feddern.de/2009/08/20/einsatzbereit-und-uebergabefertig/
Thanks, Tim
Thanks, i’ve that href=”<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); can i put href="<?php bloginfo('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=obturations');
in order to redirect to this link : http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=obturations
Thanks for you answer. But from the plugin it doesn’t work. so i have to change the code manually.
To change the URL info from : ‘rss2_url’ to ‘http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=obturations’
can i change that : href=”<?php bloginfo('rss2_url');
to that ? : href="<?php bloginfo('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=obturations');
@Andrei Luca:
The link is http://www.globalnanniesagency.com/blog/
It’s still under development though…
@Katzenstreu: Please enable cufon extra from theme settings.
@Merwen BA: Just add the url, without the php tag and bloginfo function.
@Eric: It’s ok on my end.
@Andrei Luca: Thanks!
there is a bug in your theme. in archieves.php. you haven’t opened and closed the php tags properly. please fix.
I meant
please check
thanks
ah! HTML tags are stripped :(
Let me try again ..
<?php …. ?>
how to increase the width of the theme like 1000px ?
Thanks
Thanks for your work and good theme!
I guess it would be great to have more wider version of LightWord.
only thing i can be mad at about this great theme is its fixed width (grrrrr)
id love to make it a little wider so it can host things like the wide screen youtube videos.
any chance this can happen in the next update?
Great Theme – clean, stylish and fast!
But 1 problem: A Link-Style header like
Forum as a Page Titel does not work. It’s greyed out.
i LOVE this theme – the only issue i have with it is that i wish it was custom-header. maybe something to think about for the next update? :)
Great theme, but this is still not working:
About author feature
It’s actually very easy to fix.
Very nice theme. I am busy building my blog with it. Can I add my own custom header?
thx so much, so pretty a great functions
hi,Really great theme.
I need to have the sidebar more largest ??
how can i do this ??
the one in the theme is 191 largeur mine must be 230 large
Any help appreciate
Thx again for this great piece of code.
I’m using this one for a while now. I really like it. I modified it a little bit though.
Good job!
to Andrei Luca, can u release lightWord for 3 coloums, thanks. if avaluable can u inform me.. please, thank you..
Hey, awesome theme! Thanks!
Only one issue, while using a custom header (141 px tall, 796 px wide) the “Subscribe Via RSS” text and image dip down below the top-bar. ( http://www.crazycyborg.com )
Ive dug around for a bit to see if I could find a solution, but I came up with nothing.
Possible fixes?
Thanks in Advance
I have a multi-author blog, is there a way to show the author of the post on the main page? Not just one the post pages.
I love this theme, but I think it can be better in a resizeable skin.
Bye
Hi Andrei!
I really like your theme, and would like to use it on my blog. However, I write in Swedish, and for some reason the Swedish special characters don’t show in the headings of my posts. In the post content it works fine, but not in the heading. Could you please help me out in trying to fix this? Is there something I can do on my own?
Many thanks in advance!
/Charlotte
Hi. Thanks for making this theme. I like it very much. One thing I’d love to see added is the ability to flip between fixed-width and scaling-width or at least be able to customize the width. Widescreen LCD monitors are the way of the future, afterall, and we should cater to it. Nonetheless, I’m sure it’s not an easy task so I just wanted to add some feedback.
Love the theme.
Cheers,
Sean
Hi
I am new to the wordpress world. I have a header that has straight edges which looks nasty with the rounded edges of the content – how do i either make the content edges straight or create curved edges for the header?
Hi, first I would like to tell you that this is a super design. I would like to add a sub sub menu, can anyone help me with this

Hey Andrei, you’re theme is really beatiful.
Is it possible to merge the size of the extra-mp_font file?
I’m from Germany and so i do not need to have all these 300 kilobytes because I just have to write the ÄäÖöÜü’s and not à or è?!
Greets
Mario
Does anyone know where can I paste the Google Analytics code in the theme settings?
Thanks,
Peace,
George
@George Xipoleas:
No, sorry.
This is a very nice and cool wordpress theme! Congratz!
