New Wordpress theme : Margot
Hi all, you probably noticed a new theme in my sidebar (preview theme) called “Margot”. I’m about to release it as a new free wordpress theme, but I’m still making few tests, that’s why I try it with my own blog first. I made this theme for wordpress 2.1.3 and I’m facing troubles with previous versions of wordpress as few functions have changed between. If you want to test this new theme I’ll be glad to give it to you, you just have to contact me by email and I’ll send you the zip file. I really want this theme work on most common versions of wordpress so I count on you to help me a bit.
Margot is a simple text based theme, widget ready, with a fixed width, rounded corners again, a flower again, yeah I know, I love flowers and what else ?? … well you’ll see.
I’m waiting for your suggestions as I’m still wondering about how to design few things I forgot and I’m sure there are many things wich are going wrong.
Download information - Edited on April, 14
Note : As not so many people gave me negative feedbacks I release the theme and let’s see what will happen. So you can download Margot theme right now or find it in the download list. Please remember this version doens’t work for previous versions of wordpress 2.1.3.

Hi,
Margot is quite buggy on IE6 since the side bar is displayed at the bottom of the main container.
Note that the problem with the side bar is not present when you’re seeing comments from a post ?
But since it’s IE, Display Bugs are pretty much usual.
Sebounet, I know where it comes from, it was the picture I put in my post (useless buttons). I removed it and see : the problem has disappeared.
Hi Ghyslain,
I would like to test this theme.
I already sent an email to you.
Thanks

Just beautiful

Is anyone else running Spam Karma 2? I’m on WP 2.1 using this spam plugin, and it breaks the footer when inserting itself:

I’ve been considering shutting off that footer display though, so this might be a mute point at least for me. Thought I’d mention it for others.
thanks you beautiful theme there is one problem
I don’t know why.
the follow appears every post of my blog.

why? how to remove it?
Qiang, I don’t see any reasons why this appears. Browser, server, page encoding … ???
I don’t know….I will ask my BSP. thanks your theme
Hiya,
Loving this theme. Any ideas how I can fix the Right hand menu panel in IE? It doesn’t display correctly. Is this something you’ve already experienced?
Thanks
Ian
great work with this theme, and with all the others. Please can u include the 404 template page?
Interesting theme thank you..
Good colours good theme..
good theme!
hello! im currently using margot template. thanks for this! =)
juz a quick question though.. how do i change the search verbatim “search” into something else, like for instance “go”?
cant seem to find it.. can you tell me which file i must look into?
Gotta ask this question…Do you think an attractive theme like Margot gives the se spiders a bigger reason to visit your blogs?
My blog at blogger.com hardly gets any visitors?
I do know this…The spiders like Wordpress alot more than blogger.com
I use the theme on wordpress2.21 ,It looked like to have an eroor at the top bar. My top bar doesn’t display correctly.
the nav of pages was push to the underneath and
As follows the text appears at the topbar:
* Project-Id-Version: WordPress 2.2.1 PO-Revision-Date: 2007-06-21 14:35 0800 Last-Translator: Crazy Loong MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Poedit-Basepath: ../..

e.. I’d found the Solution of the problem
in the header.php.. line 42
the original is
I just change it to
that’s all
the strangly text at homepage disappear
but
these still appear at the pages which set up by myself,just these .the other like the single post page,monthly archives page….. it doesn’t appears.
this make me confused…
I can’t find the solution and even do not know why it appears
oh the code disappear…..
header.php line 42
change
《?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=’ . __('’)); ?》
to
《?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=-1′); ?》
and can Ghyslain tell me title_li=’ . __('’) is mean for??
Well, this is made for displaying pages in list, I’ve probably taken a look on the codex to see how to call pages this way.
I’m pretty confused on how to install this on wordpress.. any links to a tutorial?
testing
Hi,
Margot is simply one of the most beautiful Wordpress themes I’ve seen. I’ve added it to my list of the best themes on the Web: http://www.bestwpthemes.com.
Check it out. You’re in good company!
Nice theme ! Grats
About the “* Project-Id-Version: WordPress 2.2.1 PO […]” message error, it happens when people use wordrpess in another language than english. It’s caused by an attempt of the .mo file to translate a missing space in the page call tag. To fix it just make change to . Note this space __(’ ‘)
Btw, if you still need help to make this theme work with older version than 2.1.3 I may take a look at it, as far as I can
Just drop me some lines, you got my mail
Oops, I forgot to put the code into code tags …here’s the change to make :
toReally sorry, this makes me look like spamming your comments. Think there’s only one way left to make it show :
Change > ? php wp_list_pages(’title_li=’ . __('’)); ?>
to > ? php wp_list_pages(’title_li=’ . __(’ ‘)); ?>
Hey Many, thanks for these helpful comments. If you could take a look at this so that it works on older versions, that would be great, feel free to try it out on your own and let me know.. thanks
thanks great job.
I got the “Project-Id-Version: WordPress 2.2.1″ problem in each post where the comment number is 0 too. Searched for ('’) in comments.php and changed it to (’ ‘) by adding a whitespace in between single quotes solved the problem.
I love this theme. I’ve been looking for one like this forever!
Margot had a couple of bugs, but i guess they’ve been fixed now
Is there any possible way to change the title of the blog to be a banner instead?
I’m using this layout for my site right now. Thanks very much for it!
The theme is beautiful and just wanna to found out is that any widget ready theme
Rounded V2, V2 blue edition, Margot and Prairie are widget ready themes.
great work with this theme, and with all the others. Please can u include the 404 template page?
Yes indeed, I forgot this page. Thanks, I will do it.
I love it! Cool idea on the ads for sale and rent.
