I dont know if this have been fixed in the latest version, since I still run v 1.7.8
The header menu is not valid HTML due to the code in functions.php
It spits out a ” because of the class condition)
So i changed the code to:
function default_nav_menu() {
$menu_content = ““. __(“Home”, “voidy” ).”“;
baahh.. it dont show all the code in my comment
I have uploaded a screenshot here:

Thx for a great theme

I was checking out your template today. I would like to use it, but am wondering how to make the Twitter and Blog button at the top have the links open in a new window (target= “blank”). I am new to .php and not great with .css yet. I looked around for a bit but can’t seem to figure it out.
Thanks,
Jade
You will have to edit the file header.php for this. Add target=”_blank” to the two anchor tags.
hello – how do you configure the site so the pages do not have the same format as all of the blog posts I write? I want to have a top level navigation that appears to be more like a website. I know you can add pages to menus but the pages all appear at the bottom right hand side of the page. Thanks
I am really not sure I understood your question. Can you please tell me this in more specific terms?
Hi again
I changed the CSS a lot, well just the values mostly and some images (You’d probably cringe) anyway… which are the Id’s or Classes to change the width of the “post div” inside the “content div”? Can’t really figure that one out.
Thanks
“#content .post”
Doesn’t appear to exist and none of the classes or id’s “post” have width specified only content.
Sorry to be a pain, could you double check. I’m due for a donation… let’s hope things get off the ground soon.
You can use “#main .post” or add “#content .post” to the end of the css file.
Note that this is a fixed width theme and there are limits to the extend you can change the layout.
Furthermore, I think you may want to change the padding in #content rather than the width of .post.
Thanks
The padding helped a little. I decreased the size of “sidebar1″ and “sidecol” for around 50px and edited the background image to remove the central vertical line.
I am trying to add those 50px to the width of content, but it breaks. Firebug and chrome devtools, doesn’t provide any more clues, but highlighting the all page’s content shows that there is a bigger element, behind the “sidebar1″.
Please take a look here http://pedromatias.co.uk/ any clues would be fantastic.
I really must apologise again for being such a pain and messing around with your theme.
How can I add a button for facebook like the twitter and blog button at the top of the template?
You will have to edit the file header.php for this.
Really a fantastic theme. Is there any chance to either obtain the PSD files for the graphics or get versions of the PNG files with a transparent background such that if I wanted to but a background image behind the columns, the shadows would appear properly?
If not, no problem – it’s an excellent theme.
I LOVE this theme. It’s the perfect simple set up I need. I’m kinda green so I’ve had a hard time making the header height bigger to fit my header image. Help please =)
1. Edit style.css and increase the height of #logo to whatever value you want to (something around 350px?).
2. Get the file http://www.diovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bg_header.png and replace the file in your voidy/img folder.
Hope this helps.
Hello
It’s a beautiful theme. Very simple. Thanks for making it available.
I am testing it for a small blog, my first. It’s in danish. Not ready yet.
I have never worked with WordPress or themes or php or css before. I think I have managed to translate all relevant in the scripts (?) to my own language, but I have two questions or wishes:
1. I want the text attached to pictures to be smaller and probably another font. I cannot figure out how I do that.
2. I don’t think I want the button to the RSS-feed at the top of the page. Can I remove it? By the way, it seems that the rss-feed also lists posts not yet published. Is that correct?
Oh, and a third: I now see that you have made a new version. I suppose that all my changes will be erased if I upgrade?
Thanks in advance
nils
(1) Use the selector “.wp-caption p” to change the font/size. You will have to add this to the css since this selector is not already there.
(2) RSS feed will not usually show not yet published posts. If it does, it is a serious problem. Look for any misbehaving plugins. You can remove the feed icon by editing the header.php file and removing the code from there. I am planning to add an option to hide this through the admin section. May be in the next version.
(3) Your changes will be lost if you upgrade, but this is an important upgrade. You should do it. You can either (a) choose not to upgrade style.css or (b) copy all your changes to another css file and include the link to it in the header.php. The second option is preferred because this will help you in all further upgrades.
Thanks
I appreciate your help.

voidy 1.7.8
there is a small bug at function.php line 272
if(is_home()){
$menu_content .= ‘class=”current_page_item”>’;
}else{ //you forgot the else statement
$menu_content .= ‘>’;
}
The issue was fixed in the latest version. Get it here: http://www.diovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/voidy.zip (Not available as WordPress admin update yet)
This theme really and simply rocks.
Nice theme!
Will feature it on my website as the free theme of the day on August 9th
Thanks,
Jamie
Wow! Thanks in advance Jamie!
Nice theme – la vive minimalisme! Thanks Niyaz PK!
First let me say I love this theme, well done!
I have a question though. Within the voidy theme how do I add adsense link units at the top of the content pages?
If I take this post as an example, i would want to add my adsense link units above the title “Voidy WordPress Theme” but under the page navigation (Home, About, Best Articles, Links).
Many thanks
It is better to use some plugins to help you on this. This will help you keep your theme code original and will help you when updates are released.
very good and simple theme.. thanks
Awesome theme! I’m using it on my site.
But I’m not able to get the dropdown submenus to work in addition to the regular custom menus. Is it just me, or does Voidy not support this yet?
Sorry, Voidy does not support this as of now. I am working on adding this feature. I will release a new version supporting submenus soon.
I just noticed you have a pretty awesome blog as well – congratulations!
I just wanted to ask if you do anything to optimize Voidy’s loading speed. Your site for example loads very much faster than mine. Are you on a dedicated server?
The majority of Voidy’s loading time comes from the images – not the size I think, but from the request overhead. Is that what you think also?
The last time I checked you were loading some google wave thing in your website. May be that was the reason for the slow loading. (Looks like you have removed it now)
Try to reduce the number of plugins you are using. Also, it is better to reduce the number of posts in your homepage.
Hi again
Having pages with no comments, still leaves the “no responses yet” showing!
Any idea how I could go about removing this?
Thanks
Search and remove ‘No responses yet’ from the theme files.
Thanks, that’s obvious but that will also remove it from the posts?
I was thinking on the lines of duplicating the correspondent CSS classes or ID’s and remove on pages, leave on posts.
Any thoughts?
Would this be something you’d address in a future version, if any planned?
Remove the string from just page.php then.
Hi, I want to use your nice theme in my project, but when I tested it across browsers, I found some issues in internet explorer 7. On this screenshot you’ll see what is wrong … http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3760/voidy.png . I was trying to fix menu issue , but I stucked, cause I don’t know how to get rid of blank space under menu. And there is other issue with facebook & twitters buttons. If you know how to fix it Could you give me some advices? thx
of course not facebook button but rss button
Give z-index: 1000 or something to the header-icons to fix this.
The menu issues will probably take more time. May be later…
