Posted on January 9th, 2009 496 commentsContribute
We’ve recently made our theme ready for localization. If you like to contribute the translation of theme, please contact us and we’ll include it with later releases, thank you.
If you are ready to translate but not sure how, it’s very easy, please go and download the latest version of “Poedit”, then choose “File” => “Open”, navigate to the languages dir, open “default.po”, translate every entry and send the translation to us.

Why is your theme no longer listed on wordpress extend?

admin June 2nd, 2009 at 17:43
I’m not sure, one day I received such an email from worpdress.org (I guess it’s from Matt):
“Using theme/credit links as spam/promotion for sites is not allowed, those are
intended to go to the theme author.As such your theme has been suspended.
”What I can do about it?
-
http://www.mymobiles.com/ looks a bit like spam. Maybe change the URL to http://www.mymobiles.com/wordpress-themes/
-
admin June 6th, 2009 at 17:56
I doubt it would help to reinstate my theme.
If I was offered to change the links, I would change it.
-
Can you use your name instead of the “My Mobiles” and have it link to this page. This would solve the credit/spam problem. On this page you could place a link to My Mobiles in the banner section….Great theme!!
-
This link http://www.mymobiles.com/wordpress-themes/ is broken link, I think this is the correct URL http://www.mymobiles.com/.
-
What they are saying is that your theme can’t be listed because your “Designed by My Mobiles” in the footer links to the My Mobiles website, which is not allowed. You can’t include that link within your theme.

Hi there,
I can’t find where to change the looks of the reply placed by the admin. On this blog the admin has a yellow/orange border and such. On my blog they all look the same. How can I change that?
Beautiful theme by the way, keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
Alex-
What version of the theme are you using.
That “feature” was enabled in 1.3.5.
-
-
Hi,
I really like your template and I was wondering if there’s a way I can add my own banner (header) or my own pictures? Another template I was using allows you to upload your own banner and images so there could be a real personalized look.
Thank you,
Julie
-
You can always replace the images in the themeimagefolder with other images. That way you dont have to change the code.
Take a look under:
wp-content/themes/gear/images/-
That’s what I’ve done too
Works great…when you upgrade just upload everyting BUT the images folder

Will you make a version that fully supports wordpress 2.8? Pages doesn’t seem to work in it.
-
admin June 16th, 2009 at 12:35
I still didn’t upgrade to WordPress 2.8, but I will and see what I can do.

Why should he even bother when wordpress won’t publish his theme anymore.
-
-
Pages have worked for me…whats the problem?
I am not part of the Gears Team but I really enjoy the theme and will try to help.
-
-
I would like to add an extra column (left column), but I still want to use Gear.
Can you help me out, please? -
Hi, I use your theme on 39 of my 40 websites. One is html. With the advent of WP 2.8 your theme supports 5, FIVE, pages on the menu bar. I just can’t do that. I’ve got articles, Special Reports, and my business is providing information and with ONLY 5 pages on the menu bar I’m sunk. I LOVE your theme, I use it a lot. Please help me!
(Please email me, I’ve left my email addy for you)Tony

Heya Tony….How wide is your monitor?!?! I’ve got a wide screen and well…I’ve got more than 5 buttons on my bar. What’s one of your websites that I could look at?
-
-
Hey I just wanted you to know I built my blog on Gears, tweaked. Thanks MyMobiles. Nice job.
-
On the “Appearence / Widgets” page I’ve recently noticed that I no longer have the ability to click & drag widgets to or from the sidebar. The sidebar doesn’t display on that page anymore. Is this an issue with the recent update to WordPress? Or is there some way to resolve this?
Thanks.
-
That works fine for me.
I use Wordpress 2.8 and Gear 1.3.6.
What versions are you using?-
I’m using the same versions as you. But I have zero functionality in terms of moving widgets on or off the sidebar or rearranging them.
I guess I may need to switch themes. Pretty bad situation.
-
Have you tried deleting the old theme files and then uploading the new ones?
That worked for me one time when I had trouble with comments not showing up properly on site.

They don’t appear anywhere.
Do you also like it?
I don’t.I need them to appear somewhere.
-
It shows up nicely if you ad the widget “pages” into your sidebar.
-
Where is this widget? I tried (and will continue) searching for it. I need to be able to add subpages for this non-profit’s website I’m helping with. Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

Hi.
Your template is great, but i have found that in single.php the html tag it would be “<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” >” to care care or the language of the blog (as same as in index.php).
Good job!!!!
-
Benito July 16th, 2009 at 12:35

Hi,
I like the gear theme. It is very practical and easy to use. But I want to use another color for the right panel. Now it is light blue, but I what to use light brown or light orange. Can you tell how to do that?-
I found the answer to my own question.
the right panel is not a color code but a *.gif picture. I create a new picture with a better color.
-
-
Hi, is it possible to hide the sidebar on private pages only? Thanks so much.
-
I found the answer to my own question here (and it works):
http://riteturnonly.com/2008/04/12/hiding-sidebar-on-certain-page/
-
-
If I upgrade to the latest release of “Gear” how will it affect the customizations I have made to the various php files? Thanks.
-
All yor customization in the php code will probably be lost but your plugins will work the same way as before.
What kind of modifications do you mean?

Quick question. I’m using Gear 1.3.5 and I noticed that comments, pingbacks, and the comment form show up on any of my pages even though I have the box checked for “Allow comments” in the discussion area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-
-
I would recommend you to use the latest version: Gear 1.3.6.
Try that and post a new comment afterwards if the problem remains.
-
-
-
How can I remove the page titles that appear under the banner.
Check out the link below to see what I mean.
Thanks in advance

I’m using the Gear theme and I love it but I recently installed the All in one SEO Pack… The meta tags and keywords I put into the AIO SEO Pack seem to be blocked by the theme.
What does “SEO ready” mean? Do I have to manually put them in?
Any help would be appreciated!

hi,
I am using gear for my wordpress.org blog and have been trying to add a sidebar to the left, but haven’t been having any luck with it. I would be greatful to anyone who would help
thanks -
Hey guys – great theme. How do I change the color of visited links? I can’t find “a:visit” in the stylesheet anywhere so I’m a little lost.
Thanks
Jerry -
Will you be upgrading Gear to include more than 2 columns? Thanks, Paul

I love the theme and I’ve been using it for a while now.
I have two questions…
1) I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.9.1 and for some reason I cant edit any of the .php config files (header.php, footer.php…), I get “sorry, that file cannot be edited”. I can’t figure it out and don’t mind using filezilla to edit the pages but I just thought I would throw that out there to make things a little more simple. I’m thinking it’s a file permission setting somewhere.
2) I recently signed up for Facebook and wanted to add a Facebook link right next to the RSS feed link. What would I need to do? The header.php file looks a little too advanced for me. Any help would be appreciated! Or even a point in the right direction.
Thanks!
-
I ended up putting a Facebook link in the sidebar.php file. I think I like it better this way. Hopefully, someone has an idea about editing the files though.
-
I Have the same editing issues with php-files since upgrading to 2.9.x.
Any suggestions, anyone?-
Having the same trouble, cannot make edits after upgrade.
I tried changing the file permissions but it did not fix the problem.
Looks like its time for a new theme.
-
Are you sure it’s theme’s issue? Have you tried editing the files of other themes?
-
I still can’t edit the files. I’ve changed from Gears 1.6.2 to 1.6.3, nothing. If I change to the WP default theme, it works fine.
I’m currently using WP 2.9.2 and Gears 1.6.2.
If you need a guinea pig to sort this issue out, just let me know.

Hi guys, great theme and thanks for all the effort! I’m having some problems implementating the latest Gear theme in the latest release of Wordpress 2.9.2.
The menu doesn’t work properly. Is it just me or does anybody else have this problem?
-
-
Doesn’t it work on WP 2.9.2? Please let me know what issues are you experiencing and I’ll see what I can do.
-
I am also having the issue of getting a message that I cannot edit any of the theme’s files (header.php, footer.php, etc.) They all seem to be affected. Must have happened with one of the most recent upgrades 2.9.1 or 2.9.2.
-
I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.9.2 today and noticed the same issue as everyone here – couldn’t edit theme’s files through WordPress administration panel.
Tried googling around and noticed that many people complaining about this issue, so I guess it’s the issue of WordPress rather than my theme. If someone proves me wrong, please let me know and I’ll patch the theme.
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=+site%3Awordpress.org+Sorry%2C+that+file+cannot+be+edited+2.9
-
On my site gratisprogram.net I have WP 2.9 and gear 1.3.7 and NO plugins at all.
Still I get “file cannot be edited” error in WP admin. Other themes work fine.
So I think it has to be the theme, after all.
OR? -
I finally found a solution. It can be found here: http://johnswhiteboard.com/?p=13.
Replace your misc.php file with the one he has on the above website (or copy/paste it). misc.php is in the http://www…/wp-admin/includes folder.
I can now edit my theme files!!!
-
-
-
-
-
What am I missing? I tried to change the background of our site to water droplets, or even blue at the request of the aquatics director, but no luck.
I went into the backend of the site and overwrote the existing image files with the background I wanted… but it didn’t change. If someone could help I’d appreciate it!
-
Edit the Shining.png file. It’s located at: /gear/images/bg/shining.png
Good luck!
-
-
On the “Appearence / Widgets” page I’ve recently noticed that I no longer have the ability to click & drag widgets to or from the sidebar. The sidebar doesn’t display on that page anymore. Is this an issue with the recent update to WordPress? Or is there some way to resolve this?
