Free Widgets Ready Custom Wordpress Theme Conversion

Ahh, that is very helpful. I was wondering what widget ready meant.

I’m pretty comfortable with adjusting the code myself, but there are a few that I’ve had trouble getting to work, so I can see where widget ready themes would be helpful.

Thanks for the definition. Although widgets don’t really come into use in my blogs (they are a bit too simple) it’s always nice to know that people have the ability to modify their themes without any coding knowledge.

Is this for real? Guess the only way I’ll know for sure is by adding the URL of the theme I’d like to see widgetized. Although I haven’t asked the author, he’s received several requests for it to be updated but he doesn’t know how to do it. Here it is: http://gaarf.info/2006/12/02/updated-h20-theme-archive/

In case this is difficult to upgrade, I like the setup of this theme as well especially since it has “Now Reading” built-in! I do like the black of the H20 theme though. Love your opinion!

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

I saw your post through a google search and I was wondering if you could help me. I found this wonderful theme for my WordPress blog and I was wondering if you could convert it for me? It’s located here http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/themes and its titled Illumination thats about half way down the page. Also I know that you offer your service for free but seeing as I don’t really know where to put all the widgets could you tell me where I could put them all so that they would work? If you need to know what I have installed so far I’ll tell you via email so that I don’t clutter your blog.
Thanks for the help.

thanks man,

Thanks! What an amazing offer! If it is still available, I’d love to widgitize this template:
` Multiflex 3: http://www.1234.info/webtemplates/multiflex3/
` Demo: http://www.1234.info/webtemplates/multiflex3/demo/

I also have a question about using this template on WordPress. The web site says that “portings exist for WordPress”, but as a new WP user, I’m not sure what this means.
` Does this mean the template is ready to upload and use on WordPress, as is?
` Or, will additional customization be required to use this template in conjunction with WordPress?

Thanks in advance for you help!

hey I wanted to know if you could get back to me so I can send you my theme, that is if you’re still up for converting and all…

Is it possible to change a two-column theme into a 3-column theme (content-sidebar-sidebar)?

Is it done ? Can it be widgetized ? Please let us know by comments, or through ur post. please.

Hello, any details ? Just curious.

Hello ?

Hi Garry,

Obviously lots of good Karma coming your way from what I’m reading. I have just helped a friend set up a blog however it is not widget ready. I have the file on my pc if you would like me to email it through - let me know and if not I will search for it and provide the link.

Thank you for your generosity!

Hi Garry. Great article… I’m learning my way through themes, codes, wordpress, etc I recently downloaded a theme (New Yorker) and changed some names in the sidebar. Then yesterday, the sidebar and footer disappeared (moved down or soemthing). I’ve since gone back to the default code for the sidevar, but it’s still not showing up. Any advice? I believe this theme is widgets ready… Thanks.

Well after a lot of searches i found this blog of yours to widegetize my new theme.I tried to install the side bar widget plugin,but some how while activating it says Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error…may i know what shall i do now or could u kindly help me putting that in my blog the link is http://www.livesharemarkets.com .I am stuck with this theme as i found it after a lot searches and i like it also.Waiting for ur response.

Thanxs in advance

I couldn’t help but notice a total lack of response on the part of Garry to any of the requests. Has anyone who has asked for help widgetizing themes actually received any response/help from him? If you have, why not comment again on this article saying thank you? If further communications were via email, why hasn’t Garry posted a response himself letting people know which themes he’s widgetized?

I’m beginning to believe this may well have been a marketing exercise on the part of garryconn.com, instead of an actual offer to help people without the skills while giving back to the Wordpress community at the same time. Which is a pity, considering the amount of themes out there that still aren’t widgetized, and are no longer supported or whatever, despite WP now having widgets in by default. Maybe I’m just being cynical?

Is your service still available? Is it possible to add widgets to this theme please? All attempts have failed so far

The theme from the Wordpress theme site called firstd-10 - http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/1914/firstd-10/

Thx

Garry,

Just stumbled across your site while desperately searching for help. What a great offer. I’ve been trying to adapt this theme unsuccessfully - anything you can do to help would be much appreciated>

Dear Garry,

I am trying to use the zen-minimalist theme (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/329/zen-minimalist/) can you tell me if there is a way to make it widgets ready? I am completely ignorant in terms of coding and would be most grateful for your help in this matter.

thanks,
roo

i love using the winter delight theme (http://scribblescratch.com/themes2/). i’ve made it widget ready but it’ll look horrible on the web because i think the developer didn’t make it flexible enough to handle widgets. how could i make it look better?

Garry first of all I already subscribe to your blog because I like your informative articles. I’m a new blogger and I actually started subscribing to “how to” blogs and blogs where Wordpress is the primary subject matter.

Here’s my situation: I just read your article on widgets and your offer to make a theme widget-ready. The theme I chose for my blog (Pristine) appeared to be widget-ready but I don’t think it is.

Every time I’ve tried to activate a widget in one of my sidebars either one or two things happen; the content already there such as my blogroll completely disappears. Or, say like I activated the video widget, the video appears but cut off and my blogroll disappears.

So I’m guessing that maybe my theme is not widget. Lord knows I’ve tried everything. But every time I activate a widget I get the same results.

But here’s the thing: I just went to retrieve the web page where Pristine can be downloaded and the description of the theme says it’s widget-ready. I just don’t get it. Here’s the download page:

http://bloggerlounge.net/2007/09/10/new-wordpress-theme-pristine-10/

Could you possibly take a look at it and confirm that it’s widget-ready? It if it is then obviously it’s another problem. I’m hoping that’s not the case because I believe I’ve tried everything. I’ve deactivated all my plugins–anything I thought that would cause this to happen but so far no dice.

And if you’re no longer widgetizing themes well, thanks anyway. Even if you could offer me some advice I’d appreciate it much.

Best,
Derrick

OH GOSH!!!! I hope you are still helping people. I have just recently tried to make my current theme widget friendly but they are not showing up. When I download a theme that is widget friendly, they show up. I need someone to look over my WP and let me know if I added the right codes/functions.php file. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My email is above. I am so tired of trying to figure this out!

Does this offer still stand? I downloaded a widget ready theme, but I do not know how to activate the plugins. If you are still offering your service, I would greatly appreciate your service.

Thanks

Could you help me, im trying to widgetize my theme but all theese DIY tutorials dont help. Please help if this offer is still alive

Hi Sir,

Thank you very much for your help
