Simpl3 Theme by Human3rror

Read more about the background of this release here and to see some screenshots of the theme!

This theme was originally created by Armen of Freebie Themes. Released here with permission.

Some Highlights:

  • Rotating Header Images [622x190 pixels, unlimited number!]
  • Big plush Social Icons by Aquaticus – All of them are pre-loaded into the theme.
  • 4 Squares of Advertising space.
  • Widgetized Sidebar Goodness.
  • Simple Typography and Image placement
  • Spirit-filled Community Love.

Download Simpl3 v1.1 Here!

This blog is no longer hosting the download link. Please visit TentBlogger WordPress Themes for the download!

I fixed a very simple error with the “Previous Posts” and “Next Posts” color (it was white and you couldn’t see it).

I you don’t want to overwrite your customized version, just go into your style.css file and change the following:

#main .lead a {
color: #fff;
border: none;
text-decoration: underline;
}

and change it to:

#main .lead a {
color: #000;
border: none;
text-decoration: underline;
}

There you go!

  1. Nice! I would probibly use it if I could (I use the free hosted version of WordPress).

    I like the clear clean cut lines and the focus it gives to the content.

  2. Wow,h3,seems to be no limit to what you can do.Have you designed other templates?

    How about some love for us .com-ers? Just kidding… But seriously. =) I am using some of those images though. Hehe.

  4. Downloading now. Might implement it over at russhutto.com today. Thanks!

  5. awesome, John – already seeing this @ russhutto.com – looks good!

  6. Downloaded the theme, downloading wordpress, going local
    first steps :-)

  7. Oh my goodness…I'm so slow…just now seeing this. Awesomeness! Thanks for putting it up here! You rock!

  8. Love it. started a new blog after church today and found this after about a 30 minute search for a theme.
    Wish I knew enough about modification to launch quickly. Will find some help and post a link.

  9. Thanks for the update man! I thought I had messed with it until I searched for other blogs that were using the theme too… nice work on it! I love the social media buttons!

  10. this is great, really simple. easy to work with – you can se how i'm "destroing it" ;-) -, though it's a bit slow… maybe i've too much images, but i don't think so, they're small, at least on the main page.
    i promise i'll continue to "destroy it", for a while.
    will you be kind to take a look and maybe give me some suggestions?
    thanx!

  11. Just used it! Thanks Human3rror: http://www.varickmemorial.org/vm/

  12. Awesome theme! I'll definitely use this one. Thanks!

  13. Nice theme.
    white and clean.
    but it is too simple.
    you should give some color soon.
    so there will be more interested.

  14. Hey John, I'm new to self-hosting sites and CSS, could you tell me how to change the social media links in your Simpl3 wordpress theme. http://mattmccomas.com

    Thanks!

    • check the theme folder and the sidebar.php file.

      • awesome, got that figured out…still making it work for me. Does the code you have in there for the sidebar now mess up wigets that are dragged into the sidebar? for example my twitter widget looks crazy. Could I just empty the sidebar file content and use plugins?

          • I can't figure out the sidebar…is there a way to change the code to keep the cool line underneath the categories and recent posts links and take them out of the twitter widget I add? For some reason it keeps adding lines in weird places underneath @replies and various links in my Twitter for WordPress plugin. Sorry to be high maintenance.

    • Try adding a CSS class to control the styling of the effected elements in your Twitter plugin.

  15. sorry, i can't provide much support right now…!

    :(

  16. vajaah, you're awesome.

  17. @vajaah
    Thanks, but I need you explain what that means? Can you give a few simple instructions? I'm a newbie at CSS.

  18. Try adding "a.twitter-link {border: 0px;}" to your style sheet.

  19. You might also need "a.twitter-link {border:0px; display:inline;}" as well.

  20. I don't think it should matter… use the one w/ the inline style though.

  21. Great theme, like the sidebar ads!

  22. Can I change the archive template in the same way? It is currently white and I need to change the color! I love this theme!

  23. LOVE the theme. Added a few more icons and set it up on my wife's site at http://kerrimccrorey.com. Have a look :)

    One problem: We appear to be missing the "submit" button. D'oh!

  24. Just in case anyone else is having a problem with the submit button not showing up with this theme, here’s how I fixed it. I downloaded a submit.gif button that I think works well with this theme from here: http://bit.ly/d1ZJU9

    Upload the submit.gif image to this folder in your blog: /wp-content/themes/simple-wordpress-theme/simpl3/images

    Refresh the page and you should be good to go.

  25. Sorry for the question, but I am very interested in how CMS operates a blog?

  26. wooww…nice theme for shared :D

  27. John,

    I am rocking this theme for a site I am building. I know just enough php to break the interwebs so I was hoping you could tell me how I might be able to turn OFF the post details (Author, Category, Date, Comments, Etc.) on the home page (and for all others in that case).
