Omar
/ January 27, 2010This is a lovely theme, I’m using it on my website but have one little problem. I use the Tweetmeme and Facebook ShareCount plugins and for some reason this theme won’t allow for these buttons to appear on single posts, but they do appear on the main website. Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you for a great theme!

Matt
/ January 27, 2010This was a tricky problem, but I finally managed to find out what was wrong. I have uploaded a new version of Comet (1.1.1) to WordPress that fixes the problem, it just need to get approved.
Myself
/ January 29, 2010What about making the option to exchange the sidebar to the left side and vice-versa? Is that possible?
Cheers for making this nice and simple theme! :)
Matt
/ January 29, 2010It is very possible that I’d make that happen. Keep coming with suggestions, people.
Kirsten
/ January 29, 2010Please can you let me know how to change the font of the Blog title, or install a logo?
The rest of the site is just great, so simple and by far the most functional and well laid out in all the WP themes. Thanks for your great theme.
Matt
/ January 30, 2010You change the font of the blog title in theme.css, under “.header h1″. You can add a logo by uploading it somewhere and then paste the URL to it on the theme options page.
Kirsten
/ January 30, 2010Hi Matt – I have tried both of those but unfortunately neither are working, any ideas?
Melanie | Berlin
/ February 6, 2010… I have the same problem. The background image works wonderfully, but I can’t install a logo (have tried several formats). Instead it says: Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /WWWROOT/164781/htdocs/wp-content/themes/comet/functions.php on line 36 … what can I do? Thank you & dankeschoen!
Melanie
/ July 5, 2010Hi Matt, I’ve just pressed the “update” button that was highlighted in wordpress to change from the last comet version to the new one. Now all the changes (and there are a lot) and modifications are gone, and my website looks totally different. Can I, please, reverse the process?! Do you still have the other version of comet? Can’t think of going through weeks of work again … Please help!
Matt
/ February 6, 2010Melanie: it seems your server does not allow the getimagesize() function in PHP, so I guess I would have to remove the function.
Kirsten
/ January 30, 2010I am searching for “header h1? in the Header (header.php), is this correct? Sorry, I am new to this and still learning. Really appreciate your guidance.

Is there anyway to change the tag line’s color? The grey is being washed out on my sky blue clouds background photo.
Thank you for your time.
Matt
/ January 31, 2010Yes, just edit
theme.cssand on the line.header h4change
color:#858585;to whatever color you want.Sarah
/ February 1, 2010Matt,
I apologize for my new blogging ignorance. Where does this editing take place…in settings? in appearances? Is it found in the Dashboard? and Do I need to know the code for the color change? or just type “black”.
Thank you again,
Sarah
Matt
/ February 1, 2010The editing take place in Appearance > Editor, and then selecting a file in the column to the right.
As to colours, you can write “black”, but if you want more accurate colours you need to know the Hex (http://www.boallen.com/hex-color-code-generator.html).
Yann from Paris
/ February 1, 2010Hello Matt,
Firstly, congratulations on the design of this very delicate theme.
A question: I would remove the “recent comments” using widgets in the right column, but I can not. This topic is it available by default? Or am I too neophyte?
thank you very much,
Yann
Yann from Paris
/ February 1, 2010Excuse me Matt,
I discovered how to remove the “recent comments” in the theme options.

Per
/ February 2, 2010Hi,
Great theme! Just a question – how about excerpts? Do they work with your theme?
Matt
/ February 2, 2010Excerpts are displayed when viewing categories, tags, or archives. Otherwise full posts are displayed.
Julio
/ April 16, 2010What about the read more link under the excerpts? can’t find nor customize it in any way
Matt
/ April 16, 2010I admit it’s a little hard to find. If you are using the latest version you find it in basic.css and it’s called .more-link { … }
Martin
/ February 3, 2010Hi Matt!
Thank you for the wonderfull Theme, that was what i’m looking for.
But i have one question: is there any possibility to show pictures, or vids embedded in the posts – if i click on a category? If i click on a catergory the graphic disappears. What can i do?
Regards
Martin
Matt
/ February 3, 2010It’s excerpts and not full posts that are shown on archive pages, which is why it’s only text being displayed, but I plan on adding an option to switch it on/off.
Martin
/ February 4, 2010Thanks Matt,
I would love this feature! Hopefully you can do this soon ;-)
’cause i love this theme.
Regards
Martin
Per
/ February 5, 2010Hi,
I would like to join Martin in that request!?
Regarding the excerpts earlier – can this be changed so as to allow excerpts on your main posts?! Can it be done with a plugin for example?
Thanks again for a great theme!
Heather
/ February 6, 2010Love this theme! We’re using it for our wedding website. I found a small bug. When you password protect a page, the right-hand sidebar jumps under the post. I figured out that there was a missing in comments.php, in the part that displays the bit about having to log in to see the comments. Here’s what it looks like now:
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.
<?php
return;
}
And here’s how it should look:
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.
<?php
return;
}
Thanks!
Heather
/ February 6, 2010Oops, that code got messed up.
How it looks now:
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
<?php
return;
}
How it should look:
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
</div>
<?php
return;
}
Matt
/ February 6, 2010Thanks for the notice and solution, Heather. I will include it in my next update.
drmk
/ February 7, 2010On individual post pages, there isn’t a “previous post”/”next post” link. Can that be added? If so, where/how?
drmk
/ February 8, 2010Huh. I seem to also have lost the names of commenters in their comment box — I’m just getting the meta data and not the commenter name. There’s a line for it in the CSS, but it’s not showing up.
drmk
/ February 8, 2010Think I’ve got this one solved. The section for comment authors seems to have had a typo:
.comment-author { }
.comment-author .avatar { float:left; margin:0px 10px 0px 0px; }
.comment-author cite { font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; }
.comment-author span { display:none; }
The close parentheses on the top line shouldn’t be there, I think — right?
Matt
/ February 8, 2010Actually that’s not a typo. The commenter’s name is always displayed, so I guess you have some kind of bug there.
drmk
/ February 8, 2010Weird — the commenter names weren’t showing up for me, but when I deleted the second } on the top line and added in a closing one after the rest of the comment-author lines, they showed up just fine.
Matt
/ February 8, 2010I find that very disturbing, and a little amusing. CSS is not like PHP, and wrapping brackets around more than one selector should… well, not work ;)
That line is actually just a placeholder.

/ June 12, 2010Loved your comment. Thank you
drmk
/ February 8, 2010Sorry for the multiple posts, but I love the theme and want to adopt it and am working with it in testing. Another thought: could there be a link to the comment box towards the top of the comment area? My posts regularly gets over 100 comments and folks may not want to scroll all the way down to the bottom to get to the comment box.
Matt
/ February 8, 2010I have taken a note of link to comment form and next/previous posts link suggestions, might put them in.

Per
/ February 8, 2010Oh, sorry for the last post, I did not see that the theme was updated! Thanks a lot for including a possibility to change between full/excerpts!
Per
/ February 8, 2010But then again – is something not working?! I enabled “excerpts” in your theme with the default way wordpress handles excerpts – I see the “[...]” on my webpage and if I click the post to view the rest of the post, the rest doesn’t show!!
I would assume that I should be able to see the rest of the post….
Matt
/ February 8, 2010Yes I only just noticed that if you set front page to “excerpt” it doesn’t show the full posts when viewing single. An update has been uploaded and awaiting approval.
Per
/ February 9, 2010Great work. Works!! Thank you.
Is there any way to support characters that do not exist in english? I live in Denmark and we have three characters Æ, Ø, and Å and if I translate several of the .php files into danish, these three characters don’t work…
Matt
/ February 9, 2010You need to replace those letters with an HTML character. See http://www.kadifeli.com/fedon/char.htm for a list.
drmk
/ February 9, 2010FYI: In several places in the basic.css the term “border-radius” is misspelled as “border-raidus”.
Matt
/ February 9, 2010Thanks for the notice. It’s pure CSS3 and probably won’t be supported for another fifty years, but it’s nice to be prepared ;)
Per

/ February 11, 2010Hi, i tried changing the background color from theme.css but its still gray… how can i change this? beautiful template by the way!
Matt
/ February 11, 2010The color themes override theme.css, so you need to pick a color theme (like grey) and then edit _grey.css.

Matt

I return to questions of Vanessa (February 16, 2010) and Meagan (April 5, 2010). I installed an image background in test (960px/122px) http://www.nathalie-milon.com/ to show that the margin above and below the image is very important. How to reduce or cancel these margins?
Thank you

overflow: hidden;
)
by

/ February 21, 2010Great theme, but please do not use the “short style” PHP tags, because it cause the following error on “short_open_tag” disabled servers.
Parse error: parse error in \blog\wp-content\themes\comet\index.php on line 42
If you experiencing above error, please change to line 35 (which is: ) to .
There are some hosting providers leave their “short_open_tag” option to Off, which is default for PHP installation.
Regards, Hazar.
Matt
/ February 25, 2010Thanks for the notice, it must have slipped me by. As far as I know there are no short php tags in the latest version now.
Per
/ February 26, 2010Hmm, this might be basic WordPress (WP) knowledge, but I have to ask anyway as I’m still quite new to WP.
I am using the ShadowboxJS plugin to open flash content in my posts. I want to add a WP Page to open this flash content instead. I can use a plugin called ‘Page links to’ and then link to a .html file to open this flash content, but is it possible in your theme (and where do I have to edit?) to add html code directly in some .php file to accomodate this??
Thanks!
Matt
/ February 26, 2010To add a custom link to the menu, open up header.php and right below the line
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>add a line
and replace URL and TITLE with your own text.
Per
/ February 26, 2010Great!! That works flawlessly!! Thank you very much!

Jody
/ March 1, 2010Thank you for this gorgeous theme! I think you’ll have a lot of new users in the next few weeks as blogger kicks those of us who used FTP publishing to the curb, forcing us to take our existing content elsewhere. It took me the weekend to figure out how to get everything working the way I’d like, at least for now. I’m already thinking of ways to make changes.
I am thinking of creating a category template so that I can have a different sidebar on one of my category pages (photos) but I suspect WP limitations might not let me do two different widget layouts? Anyway, I love your designs and wanted to thank you for making them available.
Anders Norén
/ March 1, 2010Hi,
How do I change the text color for the “Read more”-button?
Matt
/ March 1, 2010Open the stylesheet for what color scheme you are using. _red.css if you are using the red. Then you got
at the bottom of the file. Change the background-color to what you want.
Anders Norén
/ March 1, 2010I was wondering how to edit the text color. Changing the .more-link in the “color.css” doesn’t seem to do it.
Matt
/ March 1, 2010Ah, in that case look for “.more-link” in basic.css.
Anders
/ March 2, 2010Thanks, that did it!

Sarah
/ March 4, 2010Hi Matt,
I loove this theme. Beautiful design. I am very new to the blog/web world, please forgive me. I am trying to change the background image and am stuck. I’ve uploaded a jpg into the images folder on my hosting site for “comet”. Then, I entered
body { background-color:#E5E5E5 url(images/Ampersand_Right_1680x1050.jpg);
into the style.css page. And I also added
body { background-color:#E5E5E5; url(images/Ampersand_Right_1680x1050.jpg) }
into the _grey.css page.
Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? I also tried adding the jpg file name into background url in the options sections.
Thank you so much.
Matt
/ March 4, 2010Well, the line in _grey.css (will overwrite anything in style.css) has an invalid “;” inside it, might be what’s causing it.
Sarah
/ March 4, 2010Hey matt, I got rid of the invalid ; and still no background image. :( I am using godaddy as my host and uploaded a photo into the images folder within comet… is this right atleast? can you give me an example of what the code should look like when i’m putting it into the _grey.css page?
I really love your theme and want to make it work w/ a background image. Thanks again.
Matt
/ March 4, 2010Sorry I didn’t spot it before. You are using background-color when you should be using background. So it’s supposed to be
body { background: #E5E5E5 url('images/Ampersand_Right_1680×1050.jpg'); }James
/ March 5, 2010Hey Matt,
Great design, my question is how big is the image in the first post as I would like to add a image of my own but I cant see to get that size right.
Thanks
James
Matt
/ March 5, 2010The width is 600 pixels.
Kari
/ March 5, 2010I LOVE this theme! I am wondering, however, if there is any way to make the sidebar smaller and the blog post area wider? I am a photographer and I would like my photos to be larger on the page (ie: 900 pixels wide). Thanks for creating such a beautiful theme!
Matt
/ March 5, 2010If you want the main column to view pictures in 900 pixels there won’t be much of a sidebar left (the total width of the page is 960px). If you want you can use a permanent “wide” design in which the sidebar will be hidden and extend the main column all the way, by pasting this into the “Custom CSS” box on the theme options page:
.content .c1 { width: 900px; margin: 0px; } .content .c2 { display: none; }ads

Matt
/ March 5, 2010In WordPress 3.0 it will be easy; now it’s a bit harder.
In the header.php you have the menu:
<ul> <?php fp_options('subscribe'); ?> <li class="home-link< ?php if ( is_home() ) { ?> current_page_item< ?php } ?>"><a href="< ?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?> </ul>Simply remove the line
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>and replace it with links to the pages you want included

/ March 8, 2010Hi Matt,
Thanks for your work on this theme, I am using it for my personal website.
I find it very elegant and I like the emphasis on written content.
Since I guess I will use it for a long time, I would like to translate some words in the front-end like “Read the full article”.
How can I do this without loosing the translation when you update the theme ? (I’m not familiar with theme translation)
Matt
/ March 8, 2010Until I get the time to create translation files for the theme the only way is to manually change everything. But yes, sadly that gets overwritten when you update the theme.
Best thing is probably to keep backups of the files you change and replace them again after update.
ads
/ March 8, 2010hi,
i had inserted pages in menu manually so that i lost that effect
now i want to give the effect of current page as u gave for home (background color of menu).
what can i do? please help me.

Matt

robin
/ March 11, 2010hi
i love your theme (as everyone said before) but i’d like to know if it’s possible to use categories instead of pages for the dropdown menu ?
so each article can be linked by a category in the menu.
or did i miss something ? (because i’m quite new in the WordPress world)
Matt
/ March 11, 2010Yes it’s possible. In header.php replace the line
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>with
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=); ?>And that’s it.
robin
/ March 12, 2010thanks Matt. it’s perfect.
in fact this is the correct line :
(there was a ‘ missing after li= and no space before ?>)
thank you for your quick answer.
robin
/ March 13, 2010i have another question about your menu.
is it possible to have the categories displayed in the dropdown menu in non-alphabetical order ?
and can i modify the width of the sub-menu articles
(it is a bit too short for my titles).
thank you again
Matt
/ March 15, 2010See the page http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages for how you can customize the list of categories.
To change the width of the submenu edit dropdown.css and change
.menu ul li:hover ul li a { ... width:130px; ... }to what size you want.
robin
/ March 17, 2010thank you. it worked.
however i used the Category order plug-in for managing my categories.

Thanks!
Matt
/ April 1, 2010If the title disappears but the logo doesn’t show up it’s probably because you entered an incorrect URL to the image.

/ April 1, 2010I am using the Comet theme primarily because I like the way the comments are displayed in the side bar. However, all submitted comments are automatically posted even though my settings state that admin must approve comments first.
Anyone else having this problem? Perhaps somebody even knows how to fix it. I have tons of wordpress blogs and only the one using the Comet theme has this problem as far as I can tell.

/ April 3, 2010Hi again,
I am glad you planned to work on translation files.
Just another suggestion, could you allow us to customize the twitter widget ? Like being able to choose how many tweets to show or to ignore tweets that were sent in reply to someone ?

/ April 7, 2010Hi there,
Love the theme, how and where do I edit the colour of the tables?
Thanks,
James
Matt
/ April 7, 2010You edit them in basic.css.
James
/ April 8, 2010Thank you very much!
Your themes are rocking!

/ April 9, 2010Hey! Thank you so much for this theme, it’s amazing.
Just something I’ve come across whilst using the wide template. I have a really long post, but in the middle of it, the right hand side of the content gets covered/cutoff.
http://i39.tinypic.com/2qtgtxd.jpg – screencap of where it stops being cutoff (as you can see it’s cutting off text and image)
Not quite sure why that’s occurring. I haven’t begun to change anything yet, so it’s pretty much the default at the moment.
Any help would be awesome, thanks!
Rin
/ April 10, 2010nevermind, I found the problem.
I had to include under the css for the wide template.
.page-template-wide-php .wrap {
width: 1000px;
}
.page-template-wide-php .nav {
width: 1000px;
}
Thanks again for the awesome theme :)
hi
/ April 15, 2010I’m new to this stuff. How do I add adsense to all of my single posts and not the home page? Normally, there’s a single post PHP but I don’t see one for this theme. Thanks.
Matt
/ April 16, 2010The reason there is only an index.php for post is mostly because of convenience for me; less files to edit.
To make so that some code only displays on single posts do like this where you want in index.php:
<?php if ( is_single() ) { ?>Your code
<? } ?>

/ April 15, 2010I LOVE that theme! It’s exactly whatI’ve searched for! It’s simple, clean and the colors are great! My only problem is that it seems like it doesn’t work with Windows Live Writer. The Software cant put text next to a pic. But when you upload it, it’s fine. I think it has something to do with the CSS style format.

/ April 16, 2010I have selected “No” to “Menu bar: Display the menu bar at the top,” but still I am seeing the menu bar? What’s going wrong?
Thanks for the great theme!
caroline
/ April 29, 2010I’m having the same problem. I have menu bar option set to “no” but it is still there. I have removed the pages from showing up there, so now there’s just the RSS feed button. Do I need to move that as well in order to hide the menu bar?
Thanks!

/ April 21, 2010Thanks for a great theme, and added functionality towards WP 3.0. I was using the Comet 2.x.something and the header (menu) was displayed with capital letters in a classic style. Now that I updated to version 3.0, the formatting went back to regular text type style. Is there any way I can get this menu formatting back?
Matt
/ April 21, 2010It was an intentional change. You can get it back to uppercase by adding “text-transform: uppercase;” to .nav { … } in style.css.
cindy
/ April 22, 2010so clean n clear…nice theme
Richard Pavek
/ May 7, 2010After I installed Comet all that appeared on any of my posts was a short text and no photos.
Yet when I went to edit the posts all the material still showed to be there. So I updated each of them, and they all previewed OK.
But when I re-opened the site I still only had a short excerpt on each of the posts.
(All my pages loaded OK with all photos.)
I’m at a loss, I would like to use you design as it is clean and sharp.
???
Richard
Matt
/ May 19, 2010I believe that if you change the theme options full post style/archive post style from excerpt to full it would be normal.
Richard Pavek
/ May 20, 2010I assume you are referring to “Options” under “themes” that loads with Frostpress?
If so, Archive pages post type was and is set to full but produces an excerpt. The [...] at the end does not link.
If it is somewhere else I can’t find it.

/ May 14, 2010Love the theme! Got one issue …
I created a static home page and created a page called “Blog” to hold my posts. However, when I click on the Blog tab, I get this message, “Not Found, The page you were looking for could not be found.”
I switched themes, and the posts show up when using other themes. But not when I switch back to this theme.
Could you offer any help with this? I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

/ May 17, 2010Hi !
I really like this Comet theme. It’s very classy and elegant !
I’ve seen in the CSS file that it is released under licence GPL 3.0 (allowing modifications) but before doing anything bad, I just would like to know if I can use your theme as a basis for my blog, but change some elements such as the background color (another one than allowed in the complementary CSS files), use a background header in addition to the header H1 link, etc. ?
Of course, I would notify about the modifications in the footer in order visitors know that your original theme was different.
Matt
/ May 19, 2010Yes, you are free to adapt it as you will.

/ May 18, 2010Just wanted to throw in a quick “Thank you!” for this wonderful theme. Have used it on the website mentioned above for about six months, and it is working wonderfully.
Rick Rottman
/ May 19, 2010I love the theme, but I was wondering how to get the Recent Comments widget to look like it does in the example. Specifically, how to get it to show the avatars.
CelphT
/ May 19, 2010Hi Rick,
If I don’t make any mistake, you have to go in the Widget section of your admin board, and put the “[FP] Recent comments” in the column at the right.
Rick Rottman
/ May 19, 2010I don’t see that widget. I remember it being there with older versions of Comet, but not the current version, 1.3.0.
Matt
/ May 19, 2010That’s right Rick. I removed all external plugins since they were causing more harm than good. If you look on the Support page I got some recommended plugins at the bottom that does the same thing.

/ May 24, 2010Hello Matt
What a success for your theme!
One question: how to remove the item “edit post” in a page in which I will not let the opportunity for visitors to comment on.
Thank you
Yann from Paris
/ May 24, 2010Matt
/ May 24, 2010If you open up index.php and look around I’m sure you will find those text and remove them if you like.
JP
/ May 31, 2010Awesome theme, thanks for sharing this with everyone!
I have my Archives & Categories set to excerpt (and am using thumbnail-for-excerpts plugin to get thumbnail pics + shortened the excerpt length to 25-ish words)…
My question, where/how can I compress the title, excerpt, category, remove tags, remove redundant dotted line, etc to all fit in a much smaller.
To see exactly what I mean take a look at the before/after pics:
before: http://i50.tinypic.com/21b7rx4.jpg
after: http://i50.tinypic.com/axjho5.jpg
Thanks!
todd
/ June 1, 2010Thanks a ton for the great theme. Is it possible to change the logo image on an individual page? all my pages use the wide template except one which uses the default template. Can I change the logo only on the default template page?
Thanks!
Brandon
/ June 2, 2010Matt,
Excellent theme, I like it very much. I decided to use excerpt instead of content on my homepage. There is an image that also pops up but by default it’s blank. Where do I set this? Can I have it choose an image that comes from the post? Can I have it not display if there are no images in the post?
Cheers,
Brandon
PS – Sorry if this question has been answered – I couldn’t find one.
Brandon
/ June 2, 2010Never mind, this was coming from a plugin…

I have tried a lot of theme, but yours is the best!
Thank you for making such a great theme available.
I tried to make the Title font size bigger and made changes under theme.css under /css folder. My problem is that whenever I changed header h1 font size and save the file, it reset itself into the default 36 size. Can you please tell me how can I make the it work? Thanks a lot.

/ July 24, 2010A fantastic theme with great options.
I have a question similar to above, though. I’ve made category templates within this theme, and I’m wanting those template to show rather than an excerpt. I’ve replaced the conditional statements with just the_content, but the excerpt continues to show. I’ve even gone so far as to change both the Archive and Post types to Full in options, changed the functions.php to always show the_content, but nothing changes this. Can you advise why the excerpts are forced on category templates?
