Supports Wordpress 2.6+
This is a snazzy dark grey theme with splashes of greenery (hence the name). The original template is an open-source design by Pat Heard from FullAhead.org.
I have included, as of Version 2.0, an Adobe Photoshop template file that allows the painless creation of custom theme “middle-space” images (hint: the “middle-space” is the large section between the main content and the sidebar that has lots of “greenery” in it).
I get lots of questions on this theme surrounding the menu tabs at the top. By default only a few choices are shown (homepage, about page, and the archives) because, quite frankly, there’s not a lot of real-estate up there to be showing a dozen page tabs - and there’s a secondary navigation in the sidebar that shows ALL pages. However, I have included all the PHP code you’d need (inside the header.php file) to allow your pages to be tabbed up top.

Great theme!
I think the red and lava idea is a good one!
Cheers

no april fool’s joke? i’m disappointed
Heather :: Yeah, I know. I had thought about it but it’s been busy with me so i never got around to something truly grand… and if I were to do it would definitely have to be grand.
Theme looks great. I am interested in seeing the blue with the H20. I don’t recall seeing a blog design like greenery before. Unfortunately (or not) I have invested many hours in my current theme (which I am still struggling with BTW), so I am loathe to change themes right now. But it does look nice. And yes, if you look at my site, there is some “negative” influence on my site.
smart001 :: Yes, I saw your “negative” influence.
Keep pluggin’ away… eventually the CSS gets beaten into submission.
I little tip with the rounded corner CSS. As much as we really, really want to consolidate the div styles (especially when there’s like eight of them doing the exact same thing) it actually screws up the rounded borders. It’s goofy, I know, but leaving the repititive lines of CSS code as is ends up working the best.
Browsers are screwy.
There is a bug in the theme on ie explorer, but there is a very good theme. would be a next version whit this bug? (firefox its better but not all use it)
bye
sergio :: Can you tell me what the bug is? It looks fine for me.
Hello
Sorry for not detail it.
If the images are very big in the post or you use another wysitwyg editor. The sidebar goes to the botom of the page at ie, on firefox function very well
In IE it will allow images to enlarge a space that they are in… like the main column of the theme. What is happening is that the main column is getting enlarged and the sum of the widths of the main column and the sidebar are greater than the actual container width of the whole page (regardless of the browser window width) and so the sidebar will get “pushed” to below the main content (or sometimes vice versa).
This is a very common happening in web layouts. The solution is to make sure that you don’t set your main column width too large and don’t use oversized images.
Email me if you’d like more specific guidance.
Great theme - great work.
Will there be a update soon?
I am not so talented in web programming and in there is much to improve in this theme.
greets an peace
Jeremy
Jeremy :: Drop me an email with ideas for what you’d like to see improved.
Thanks, WarAxe I don´t have no more problems whit the theme. I will translate it to spanish for my website if you want it y will send you
Its a good theme.
Could you doa theme for zenpohoto gallery? (http://www.zenphoto.org)
thanks
Is there a PSD available to change the grass image? It’s a great theme & changing that one image is all that’s really needed to customize different sites to match their subject.
Thanks!
There’s not a PSD or layered PNG, but I’ve seen many examples of people who created their own. If you’re good with a vector drawing program it’s fairly straight-forward to draw a vector mask that will then let you put any image you want behind an already shadowed mask.
I hope I didn’t get this principled developer in trouble.
The “German Translation” package is corrupt, there is only the “images” folder inside.
Anyway, thanks for the update. I will test it today. Have you a changelog or something? It would be nice to see a list of features/changes for people wich have the v1.0 installed.
greets,
Jeremy
Jeremy :: I just checked and I could unzip the German version fine. Check your program again. And yes, the changelog is in the style.css file… that is the default location for the changelog in WordPress themes, although it is not universally done that way.
I hope that helps.
don’t sue WarAxe for mistakes I’m guilty for
I’ve encountered some small errors out of hastiness in that version.
I also haven’t tweaked the comments in the code …
I’ll make an update of the german theme an send it to WarAxe tomorrow
Cheers
-,Rolle
Is there a spanish translation?
Rolle :: Thanks… I’ll put it up when you’re done. I added widget compatibility to the sidebar of both English and German version, so make sure you modify the latest version.
TeNTiRuJo :: Not yet… volunteers? All you need to do is downlad the English version and translate everything that is in English (except PHP and HTML code) and resave the files.
Hey there… thanks for the wonderful template. I’m already one step ahead of you though. I’ve already modified the image to include the ocean. You can take a look at it on my site! However, I am curious… do you have the PSD files for this theme? I mean I can modify it without… but it would be a WHOLE lot easier if I had them. Let me know, k? Thanks!
Ok, I’v found an error (damn german Umlaut and UTF-8 encoding) …
I’ve send the revised edition to WarAxe, so you’ll find it above soon.
It is version 1.1a cause I’m going to resume previos denotiation with upcoming versions
-,Rolle
No offense, but I liked the old footer better. How do I re-implement it? Thanks for any help you can provide. Cheers!
-,Rolle :: I got the new version and will put it up in a few days.
Kelley :: I don’t have the original PSD file (and yes, that would make it easier), sorry.
Which footer are you speaking of? I may have previous versions available if you can give me more information.
Sorry, the greenery -Stylesheet is missing. Please help.
Sanjay :: the default name for WordPress stylesheets is “style.css”, and that file does exist. Please look again.
It’s great.
I got this theme.
I translate to Japanese and use.
This theme is great ill try this today. Good job.
Greenery Cool Template I Like It thank you Very much
ragerds,

I’m working on using this template for my husbands blog and I ran into a little snafu- I’m trying to change the colors and there is the area where the title of the blog is that i can’t find to change- if you coudl point me to the right place I would certainly appreciate it. The template is AWESOME and he’s really excited to get to work on it.
Raquita :: The area where the title of the blog is not colored by the stylesheet file, but actually by a background image. If you look in the images area of the theme you’ll find the image that corresponds to the top of the theme. You can edit it using any standard image editing software, but remember to make the same changes to the center divider image as well.
Hi!
Great Work!
I’m using your theme for my newsblog, because of the green/gray color layout, that fits best with the natural medicine issue.
Perhaps a similar theme for Joomla could be very nice too!
Thanks
Pietro
Thank you for the theme. I picked this one out of the whole lot. Would there be a way to add another subject to the side bar to add a flash flickr badge? Which file would I need to modify to do this? I’m still new to this stuff. Thanks.
John
This one is really beautiful and clean, thank you!
@Pietro :: Joomla *shudders* … wouldn’t touch that one again with a 20 foot pole…
@Waraxe :: Nice work on the theme, we are using it on one of our blogs, and that’s how I stumbled on your site. Keep up the good work!
Aaron
I found this design once before, and never really used it. I’m resurrecting my old blog, and it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Hi,
I love this theme and I have been using it. But the sidebar is not working properly in Internet Explorer. It works fine in Firefox and Safari.
If you could help, I would be grateful:

Thanks
Ajit :: By now most computer users know that merely saying something “doesn’t work properly” is not enough info for anyone to help them. If you want me to be able to do anything you’ll need to pour out every detail. Also, I went to your site anyway, and I didn’t see the theme in use.
wow nice theme !!
2thubs up
Love this green style, good job
Thanks war axe, I had a site setup with the original theme from fullahead, yet I needed the publishing power of wordpress. Seeing your theme with widget support here was great. Thanks so much.
However…could you please give me some insight as to why my eventcalendar widget is bleeding out over the sidebar? As well, the footer…how can I mod that to actually appear at the far bottom (foot) of the page rather than at the bottom of the sidebar? Thanks so much for your time again.
hola …
one question …the theme makes two div’s after the /html tag.
you could see this also in the source-code of your demo page!
how could i remove this div’s?!?
thx 4 u support
OK … i found the error.
you have in the sidebar.php the call to the get_footer() function.
i take this function call [get_footer()] at the last line of the index.php and anything is fine
and with this change the page is realy valid XHTML 1.0 transitional!!!
snore……geeks
prima theme ja!!!!
hey scott, ur right!!
Hi,
I have a problem with your theme. It looks well and works with all browsers(IE7, Safari3, Opera9.27) but FireFox2.
Here are two screenshots:
http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=greenerybrokenzx4.png
http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=greenerybroken2ja1.png
At the second one you can see, it works with IE7 but don’t with FF2. I tried with three PCs, it never worked with FF2.
I work with the german WP2.5, your original theme(No changes in the css-file or other files of your theme (besides the added favicon)).
I hope, somebody can help me.
@ madenwirt :: I’m sorry for your troubles. It looks fine for me in FF2, so if I can’t duplicate your problem I can’t really work on solving it.
If anyone has any ideas or is having a similar problem please let me know.
Right now I tried a german version of Greenery1.1 and it worked well.
But v1.1 does not look that great, so I tried it again with your english v2.0 - same problem as described before.
Quite accidentally I got the cause of that problem - it is the site name.
As you can see at the screenshots in my last comment, the sidebar ends at the point the site name starts. if I shorten the name, the sidebar moves more at the right side - and it looks almost perfect if I delete the site name.
Now I know what causes the problem, but not how to solve it :/
I hope, you have an idea.
(I am going to provide a german translation of the theme, if it will work with my WP-installation)
Hi, I love this theme and have been using an earlier version of Greenery on my blog for around a year or so now. I’ve tried this new version and it doesn’t work with Firefox 3 RC1 however. This was true of both the demo on this site and when I applied it on mine. The earlier version, which I’m still using does.
Anyway, thanks for the great template, recently I’ve been wanting to find a template with a wider content area to take better advantage of 1024, and a version with 2 side bars. Nothing looks as nice as greenery! So my wish list would be these two features in a second version the template along with the Firefox 3 tweak.
@Tim
I’ll take a look at it in FF3 and see if I can diagnose the issue.
This theme is unique and awesome,I like the grass.
i really like your theme!
i hope you will do something similar with 3 columns some days. ^^
best wishes & thank you very much, jnin
Hi,
I just downloaded the latest version of your Greenery theme and love it! I’m a relative newbie to WordPress, but your theme was easy to implement, and the header php script was fairly easy to change (even for me, non-script girl). Thanks so much!
