I’m pleased to announce that Publish is now available for download in the WordPress.org themes directory. Publish is a theme I’ve been working on for quite a while, started back last year and then released to GitHub in February this year. When I started contributing to _s, I did a complete revamp of the theme, but kept the main intent — a minimal blogging theme with focus on the content.
Publish is ideal for single-author blogs, but supports multi-author blogs too. To change the “logo” Gravatar, you’ll need to change the main administrator e-mail address via Settings – General. Publish supports navigation menus, has a sidebar for your widgets, implements threaded comments, has support for various post formats and the sticky post. It has also got a responsive layout, with a drop-down menu for mobile devices. Other features, including post thumbnails, are on their way, so hang in there, or submit a patch!
Give it a spin and let me know what you think. Since theme reviews are live on WordPress.org, I’d really appreciate one, whether good or bad. If you would like to contribute to Publish, feel free to open pull requests or issues on GitHub.
Looks very nice, it is simple clean, will try it when I reach home.
Thanks, hope you like it!
Really clean and simple. You’ve done a great job making it really readable too; something which (ironically) a lot of blog themes lack.
Thanks Shane, glad you love the theme. Appreciate your feedback!
Very nice and pretty clean. Like!
Off-topic: One thing I found somehow wired is your current gallery (in your theme here). Chrome Screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/IrKcL.png
Feel free to edit this comment – Everything below the “Like” is just FYI. :)
Hey Kaiser, thanks for your feedback, glad you like the theme. The gallery is a known issue in Jetpack Carousel and will hopefully be fixed in the coming updates. Thanks for the heads up!
Simple and clean. Love it! Great job, Konstantin! I’ll try it out on my blog later today.
Hey Sean, glad to hear you like the theme. Thanks for your comment!
Probably being stupid, but I can’t figure out how to change the logo?
Hey Scott, you’ll need to get a Gravatar first. Once you have set a Gravatar for your e-mail address, make sure that e-mail address is set in your WordPress install under Settings – General – E-mail address. Also, it might take a few minutes for newly registered Gravatars to start displaying around the web, so hang in there :)
Let me know if this helps! Thanks.
Nice theme, Love the content-focus taste. Thank you for sharing..
You’re welcome Sulistyo, glad you like it and thanks for your comment!
Great theme, but it overrides my images width + heights, using the real proportions. Is there a solution for this? Can I erase some code from one or another file? I’d love to use your theme since it is even more minimal than the one I use now. Hope you have a solution for this image problem (I am not using the image gallery, I use ftp).
Thank you Alfred! If the theme is breaking your images, perhaps it’s a bug with the theme which I should sort out. Contact me via Skype (kovshenin) or e-mail (kovshenin at gmail dot com) with the URL and a detailed explanation of the problem. Thanks!
Thanks for responding so fast! I will contact you through gmail and send you some screenshots, since I can’t run your theme live right now (for my visitors).
Looks like a perfect theme for the one who solely using his blog for authority, but I like the typography :)
Thanks Tiyo :)
