This elegant WordPress theme was inspired by the colors of the early morning as I see them from my window. It’s light, elegant and pleasantly surprising.

This theme doesn’t scream at you, instead it takes a step back and lets the user read. Please don’t spoil it by putting ads on it!

Early Morning - A refreshing child theme for Thematic

Early Morning - A refreshing child theme for Thematic

You also have some nifty options:

  • You can upload your own logo
  • It comes with it’s own custom designed Twitter widget, so your visitors can see what you’re doing from your blog
  • If green isn’t your style, it comes with 5 background options that you can select from the Early Morning Theme Options (Green, Turquoise, Brick Red, Gray and Black)
  • Has a one column page template and archive template
  • It’s been tested and works on Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, Opera 9, Chrome, IE7, IE8

In order to install it you have to download the Thematic Theme (from which this child theme inherits all of the functionality), upload both themes (Early Morning and Thematic) to your server in the themes folder AND THEN ACTIVATE the Early Morning Theme.

    As usually, it looks amazing and well balanced. Congratz!
    One thing though, sliding menu is positionned slightly too left (in Opera 10)

    This is gorgeous! It just may be the ticket for my art blog. (floral photographs with an antiqued photoshop / painter effect.)

        OK, this is my first testing. As much as I love your backgrounds, I thought the gray was better for my subtle photographs. This blog is very much a beginning, including the logo, but thought I’d give you a peek. I feel so lucky to have found such a classic, slightly romantic, perfect background for my art. Now I have to figure out how to do all the sidebar stuff. Thanks!

    Dear Cristi,

    This theme is quite exquisite and it’s going to be perfect for a niche I’m planning to do – once I sort out a few teething troubles! At the moment I’ve put it on a sub-domain (http://arthemiamirror.japanesemapleguide.com/) that I use as a test bed for layouts and new plugins for an existing site, so there are just random posts, etc, on there.

    The main problem is the header logo – the site is on Hostgator and all folder permissions are 755. I’ve changed the permissions to 777 on the uploads folder and all folders below that, in this case 2009 and 08. The file I want to use uploads to the 09 folder ok using your form but nothing appears on the page. Am I missing something here? Do permissions for higher level folders have to be changed as well, do file names have to be all lower case or no gaps? While I can always put a logo image in the index top widget area, I’d rather use that for something else and do it properly.

    The next problem is drop caps. I think they are extremely elegant when used correctly but unfortunately in the Early Morning Child Theme they are surrounded by a visible box that draws attention to the excessive gap between the drop cap and the rest of the word. Is it possible to make the box width variable depending on the letter and also to remove it?

    My third problem is the drop down page menu – the box containing the sub heading is excessively wide and goes over the boundary; you can see it when you click on ‘contact’. Can these boxes be made smaller or at least give them a transparent background?

    If you can help me in any way it would be much appreciated as this is probably the best free ‘premium’ theme I’ve ever come across!

    Best regards,

    John

    Still working on my own child-theme in Thematic in my spare time (nearly none) and determined to make a go of it. If I were to ever just grab a ready-made theme and be done with it, it would be “Early Morning”.

  9. Posted August 21, 2009 at 1:52 am | Permalink

    Oh wow.
    This is gorgeous. Clean, content-centered, elegant, with tiny little details for a sophisticated flourish and that burst of colour that is the background.

    I have to say, this is one of the best themes I’ve seen you do. & I like your use of text-shadow in the footer. It honestly makes me want to forget about doing my own theme and just snag this one. ^^

    Cristi:
    I have been through testing dozens of themes. I will state without shame all free at this point as I would not invest in anything until I was totally comfortable (and a little more ‘flush. I am amazed at the creativity of yourself – and a few of your peers – and the outstanding themes they release for free.

    This is, without a doubt, one of the most simple, yet elegant designs I have found – and the simplicity of changing the backgrounds is unique I believe. Many strive for this, you have nailed it! (IMHO).

    Thank You! (But what is there to buy now)?!

    any idea’s why my title is wrapping? I’d like it to be on one line.

    thanks!

    • Posted August 31, 2009 at 10:40 am | Permalink

      Your title is a bit to long. However you can modify the css so it accommodates a longer one.

      Open the file style.css inside Early child theme and search for the declaration #blog-title . Inside it change the width: 335px to 400px and also the declaration #access, change the width from 500px to 400px… See if that helps and let me know!

  15. Posted September 5, 2009 at 7:38 am | Permalink

    Hi, I love the theme, I just have a quick question. How would I add a subheader with a short description of my blog? I was using K2 lite before and really appreciate that option.

    • Posted September 5, 2009 at 8:51 am | Permalink

      Hi. To show the description open the file functions.php and change the line remove_action(‘thematic_header’,'thematic_blogdescription’,5);

      with

      //remove_action(‘thematic_header’,'thematic_blogdescription’,5);

      However after that you’ll have to style it using css so it looks nice! (you can do that in the style.css file).

    Nice theme! We’re using it for our family blog. Noticing an issue, though. The built-in WordPress 2.8.4 Gallery formats odd. We select “5″ and we get 3 on one row, two on the next. Select “2″ and we get a single column…etc. No changes have yet been made to the theme and the same thing occurs when all plug-ins are disabled (just Auto Thickbox and Lifestream so far.)

    See it here: http://douthit.org/2009/09/at-the-fair/

    • Posted September 9, 2009 at 8:25 am | Permalink

      Ryan, try to use the One column page template to add the gallery and see if that works( however this is for pages only ). I’ll try to test it with a gallery my self and see how that goes.

      • Ryan Douthit
        Posted September 9, 2009 at 8:56 am | Permalink

        Nope, that doesn’t render any differently. I’ve now noticed that the same problem exists with Hybrid-based themes. Though, Kubrick and Thesis work just fine (as do others).

      • Ryan Douthit
        Posted September 9, 2009 at 7:10 pm | Permalink

        I reported the same issue to Hybrid maker, Justin Tadlock, and he said the problem is from invalid XML in the Gallery module. Justin suggested I load the plugin he wrote, “Cleaner Gallery” and that worked.

      • Posted September 9, 2009 at 7:26 pm | Permalink

        Cool! Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing! Justin is just great, I don’t think there’s anything he doesn’t know about WordPress :)

    i love this theme and am hoping to use it for my new blog but am having troubles with the banner image. i’ve uploaded it but it isn’t all centered, it’s all wonky. you can see it here:
    http://lulumarais.com

    any ideas on how to fix it?

    thanks!

    • Posted September 15, 2009 at 4:04 pm | Permalink

      The upload is for your logo. If you want to change the banner just replace the image: ‘earlymorning/images/branding_bg.png’ and make sure it’s exactly Width: 940px Height: 115px. After that upload an 1px by 1px transparent gif file in the back end. That should do the trick!

      • Posted September 15, 2009 at 7:12 pm | Permalink

        thanks for the fast reply Cristi! i’ll try that now. out of curiosity, what is the transparent gif file for?

      • Posted September 15, 2009 at 7:51 pm | Permalink

        Cristi — I realize this is most likely a total newbie question but where do I replace my banner for the logo? Not sure which part of the editor to do so in. My other blog uses the ProPhoto blog themes and apparently is much easier to fiddle around with (at least for me!).

        Thanks!

        • Posted September 15, 2009 at 8:20 pm | Permalink

          I doubt you can do that from the theme editor. The best way to do it would be using FTP, connecting to your hosting server and then replace the branding_bg.png file inside wp-content/themes/earlymorning/images.

          Now that I think about it you could upload your header (make sure it’s exactly Width: 940px Height: 115px. ) in the Media Library. Copy the url to that image and then open the theme editor -> style.css and search for #branding. After you find it replace

          background: url(images/branding_bg.png) top left no-repeat;

          with

          background: url(http://www.yourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/my-header-image.jpg) top left no-repeat;

          I know this is rather technical but I hope this helps you! :)

        • Posted September 18, 2009 at 8:06 am | Permalink

          @Anand Philip Unfortunately there isn’t a easy way to doing that. There’s a lot of css to modify in order to change the width of the content consistently and make it look good also.

          I’m afraid you’ll have to dig into my css and make those changes.

  19. Posted September 15, 2009 at 8:29 pm | Permalink

  20. Posted September 19, 2009 at 7:50 am | Permalink

    thanks cristi

    messing around with the css is not worth it, but i would like to at least increase the font size and increasing it to 14 px in the style.css doesnt seem to make a difference is there something else i should do?

    • Posted September 19, 2009 at 9:31 am | Permalink

      In the style.css of the earlymorning theme go to line 411 (or search for body, input, textarea and go to the second declaration ).

      Probably it didn’t change for because it’s declared in 2 places :) My bad! Will note it down and update the css accordingly so you’ll be able to change the font size in just one place.

    Hi,

    Great theme! Just one comment, make sure you add the ‘alt’ attribute to the main banner image tag, this will render it XHTML valid via W3C validator. :)

    Above someone posted this question…”how can i increase the width of the reading area a bit? and decrease the right sidebar width?”… you answered that you have to go though the ccs and modify it. I would like to do this…so what exactly do I have to change?

    • Posted October 10, 2009 at 3:27 pm | Permalink

      In the style.css search for:
      #container, #content, .main-aside, .page-title (it has a 50px margin left), .hentry, .entry-meta and .entry-date.

      These are the elements that need to be changed so that you get another width for the content!

      Let me know if that worked out ok for you!

        • Posted October 11, 2009 at 10:41 am | Permalink

          That can’t be from changes in the css. Something else might be the reason for the button to disappear. Most likely changes to the functions.php file.

          You could try to delete and reupload the theme. See if that changes anything. Also backup any changes you made to the style.css so you don’t lose them!

    Hi Cristi,

    Nice Theme, I have just uploaded it to my website.

    Just wondering where to look and how to remove without breaking the code the text below the comment box:
    You may use these HTML tags and attributes:

    And stop the tags from showing at the end of each post so it is only "Posted in (Category), Leave a Comment"

    If you could help me out with that it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks :)

        Thanks Cristi. Any news with this? Sorry to be a pain. I was also wondering whether there is a way of indenting the ‘description’ text for the categories. It currently sits flush with the left border when a category is selected. Thanks for the great theme. It’s actually working really well for me.

  27. Posted January 4, 2010 at 10:01 pm | Permalink

    I’m helping a friend with their wordpress website; using this theme, I find that the caption is receiving the large capitol letter that should go at the beginning of the post (what is that called)

    Some other people seem to have had similar problems; is there a work-around?

    Thanks!

    • Posted January 5, 2010 at 2:34 pm | Permalink

      You might try to post this on the forums.

      Right now the Drop Cap is applied to the first paragraph tag followed by a capital letter. So if you put the caption first then it will make it a capital letter.

  28. Posted January 19, 2010 at 6:51 am | Permalink

    Cristi -

    I am using the Early Morning on one of my blogs and I have a slight issue. In the sidebar, everything seems to align nicely in the lists except for the blogroll widget. There is too much space between the links and it just looks funny. The other widgets for recent comments, archives and etc are fine – nicely spaced above and below each one. But again, the blogroll widget seems to have extra spacing. I can’t seem to find anything in the css that is out of place.

    You can take a look at http://www.raynefire.com

    Any thoughts?

    Mixed case logo name problem

    I uploaded a logo via the Early Morning theme option page.
    Filename MyRedLogo.png

    The logo did not display.
    When I looked in the uploads directory, the file had been uploaded correctly.
    However the page source code was looking for filename myredlogo.png.

    This would have been OK on a case insensitive Windows server but fails on my unix host.

    Is this a problem with the early Morning Theme or WordPress 2.9.2?

    Thanks

    Warning: unlink(www.aroundtheworldinholidayhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/earlymorning.zip) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 155

    It then says installation has gone through succesfully, but I do not see any preview in the Dashboard and if I activate it, the page is all messed up. Does it mean the Theme is not supported on latest WP version or is there something else I should know to make it work properly?
    Thank you so much for an answer :-) Ciao!

    Hi Christi,

    I love your beautiful theme and would like to use it as a framework for my latest project. Is there anyway that I can fix it to work with the latest version of thematic? I’m still a little new to WP customization. Thank you for your hard work on this! I know you are busy with the 80+ comments from us babies.

      HI Jenn,

      Actually we updated all the themes to work with the latest Thematic version, just didn’t got a chance to upload the zip files. I’ll do that today and write a post about it.

    Hi.
    I love this theme!
    But i have one question about full width pages. How can i make Full Width page actually fullwidth from side to side, now i just have some space left on right side of the page (i took all the widget’s off and select Full Width in template option when creating pages)?
    Sorry..my english is not perfect..
    Hope to get the answer.

    • Posted November 23, 2010 at 10:03 am | Permalink

      Actually that was a bug. It’s now fixed. You can re-download the theme and try again. The one column should now be full width.

    The answer to this is probably pretty obvious (especially as I’ve done it once before myself) it’s just not coming to me at the moment!

    I am using Early Morning & previously I had replaced the blog title in the header with an image of my logo, but today after making a small change to the image I tried to upload the new image and cannot get it to work.

    The logo is an Illustrator file that I save using ‘save for web & devices’ & I have tried saving the image as a .GIF .PNG and .JPG but nothing works.

    I am uploading the image using the ‘Early Morning Theme Option’ contraol panel under Appearance.

    Sorry for the simple question but I can’t for the life of me figure this out.

    Thanks, Poosie.

    i tried this theme, its really wonderful especially when you read in the morning, that freshness we can feel in your theme. But i would really appreciate your help, if you could help me to remove the tags from main page and each posts, it is really making the page dirty with lots of tags. Thank you for reading this ;)

    • Posted December 17, 2010 at 9:42 am | Permalink

      That’s fairly simple. In the style.css at the very end add:

      .tag-links, .meta-sep-tag-links{
      display:none;
      }

      That will remove the tags.

      • Posted December 17, 2010 at 9:58 am | Permalink

        wow, the way of coding is entirely different from a normal theme, may be that’s why I have always difficulty in working with Theme Frameworks. i tried, but no luck. It still shows all Tags after each post, on Main Page and Single Posts.

      Can you send me a link?

        Its shame to send link at this stage. As there is only 1 post, Hello World… :)

      • Posted December 17, 2010 at 11:01 am | Permalink

        your code works.first time when I tried I was testing the result in Firefox. But in Chrome it works. Firefox need to clear all the cache to refresh with new code. Chrome in always instant. Anyway Thank you so much for your kind help.

    Hello,

    I’m trying to upload my own logo image, and when I click the ‘Here’ link (http://www.cozmoslabs.com/projects/early/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header), it takes me to a log-in page but my WordPress log-in details do not work! It’s says incorrect username. Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you!

      Hi Grace,

      Thank you for your bug report. I’ve uploaded an updated version. You can re-download it. However, if you just go to Appearance -> Header that will get you where you need to be.

      • Posted February 11, 2011 at 2:45 pm | Permalink

        Thanks Cristian! I did attempt going through Appearance, but it didn’t seem to properly upload and change the default, not sure why.

      • Posted February 14, 2011 at 10:09 am | Permalink

        All sorted, thanks for your help!

        I have another question – I’m finding the date listing with the “{” symbol that pushes the text in the post area to be limiting. Can you point out the bit of coding with modifies that? I wasn’t sure if it was possible to condense it slightly to make better use of space.

        Thanks!

    Help! I installed this beautiful child theme but I don’t see the results as per the above, nor do I see any Early Morning Theme options.

    Also, my photos are all ‘chopped’ up, can I increase the width for the content side so that I can showcase my photos?

    Please advice.

    Thanks,
    Nat

    • Posted February 16, 2011 at 11:26 am | Permalink

      Hi Nat,

      I think you didn’t install the theme correctly. Basically you need to put both themes Thematic and EarlyMorning in the themes folder. I think you copied Early Morning over Thematic or something like that.

  50. Posted March 18, 2011 at 1:49 pm | Permalink

    I am using the Early Morning child theme but the header of my website says “Early Morning”. I cannot figure out how to change it. I do not want to add a different image, I would just like to change the text to show the title of my website.

    Any help appreciated as I really love the look of the theme and would hate to have to go looking for another that I like nearly as well.

    • Posted March 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm | Permalink

      By the way, I had to change the theme on this blog until I hear back from you about this. I also left a question in the forum but there has been no response for several days.
      I REALLY want to use the Early Morning child theme.

    This theme is amazing.
    I’m using WordPress 3.1, Thematic 0.9.7.8 and EarlyMorning 0.3 but the theme doesn’t show correctly. Some bacground images (from the CSS stype) doesn’t show correctly. The webside for the tests is: http://taoterapias.es/blog/

    To install the theme and Thematic I’ve downloaded both, then I’ve unzipped and copied them to wp-content/themes/

    What’s wrong?

    • Posted March 30, 2011 at 4:42 pm | Permalink

      Hi Didac,

      I think the theme didn’t get uploaded correctly via FTP. Please delete it and try again.

    Hi, I am loving your theme for my new travel blog, but I was wondering if your theme allows vertical and horizontal photos to be centered and in a decent sized around 550X600, you can see what I am trying to say at my first attempted at http://indochinamonamour.tumblr.com/
    Thanks so much.

    Any idea when activating (yes Thematic is already installed) I get errors such as these?

    • Posted September 15, 2011 at 10:06 am | Permalink

      Apparently we’ve introduced that bug a month ago and didn’t properly test it. Please re-download the zip file and try again. It should work as expected now.

      Sorry for the inconvenience.

      • Posted September 15, 2011 at 4:40 pm | Permalink

        I just now redownloaded the zip file. When i go to the wp admin page of my site this is what I get:
