4u Style for WordPress
- September 22nd, 2006
This theme is fourth theme, it’s building on Hemingway. Click this picture, you can get 4u demo.
Download: 4u.tar.gz.
Installing:
- Upload the 4u directory and its content to your wp-content/themes/ directory.
- Visit the Presentation page once to activate this theme.
- If you want to change the theme options,
you can visit the Presentation -> Hemingway Option page. - How can I add new block?
Create your code file (Examples: examples.php) in the blocks directory, then visit the Hemingway Option page to add your block.
Why don’t menu display correctly:
- Page name isn’t too long.
- Add page is’t too many.
Upgrade: If you have ever used any other Hemingway theme you need to uninstall the options first and then set them again or things don’t work as they should.

It’s great , i like it very much . thanks for your sharing !
by the way , i like the style of 5u too . could you share this template ?thank you .
Well done! Thanks for your sharing!
Thanks for you leave comments into this post.
I’m sorry, soarise! I can’t share 5u template.
I love the theme and plan on using it…but there’s a bug in the javascript for the sliding comment shelf, it causes IE6 (works fine in IE7 and Firefox though) to crash after you click the tab. I’d fix it but I know nothing on JS.
Thank you for your comment. The javascript work fine in my IE6, but one of my firend found the same error. I don’t know what is the reason. Maybe there are some wrong in your IE6. The bug wasn’t found in IE6 for most people.
I thought it might be a install specific bug too, so I tried it on my work PC but got the same result. It says it’s an error in IE’s mshtml.dll module, which through Google I have found that dll to cause crashes for a variety of reasons. The most common resolution I found is to reinstall IE6 or update to IE7. I’ll try to reinstall IE6 when I get back home to see if it solves the problem.
Good luck!
A very nice theme, will try it definetely, thanks for developing it.
Great mod of Hemingway!
Great theme! Very graphical and in same time very-very clean, and so comfortable! I could not imaginate that some time it will be so easy to manage my blocks on sidebar as I want!
Thanks a lot for up!
Interested in this theme, but I have downloaded it several times, and Winzip keeps telling me there’s a problem with the file.
Any ideas?
Try redownload !
Nice template ! Thanks
I love all these hemmingway-mod,… simply looks great and easy to costumise.
Very nice !
I may turn one of my sites into this theme ?

Best Hemingway remix period. Great work.
I also had to downloaded the zip a couple of times before I got it uncorrupted btw.
Also for future reference; if you have ever used any other Hemingway theme you need to uninstall the options first and then set them again or things don’t work as they should.
The default gravatar icon in comments.php is hardcoded to Utombox.com, you may want to change that as well.
Fine, thanks!
Hey Utom, I try this template,
1.But how come my previous entry & next entry doesn’t work properly, only goes back to the same home page.
2. There’s a big gap between my date entry and post entry…
~*….
I can’t upzip. it says “Unexpected end of archive” I try to redownload but it’s the same. Fix it please. Thank you
TheAngel:
So sorry! ‘Previous entry’ is ‘Next entry’, ‘Next entry’ is ‘Previous entry’.
I don’t know your second question, Could you give me a screenshot.
Nice:
Many people found this question, but I don’t know fix it!
I forgot to Ctrl-F5 when I redownloaded
It seems that the first time I d/l 222 kb uncomplete file
actually, it’s 229 kb
hey, Utom!
I’m using it. I love it. Great work!
thanks
Congrats!!
I forgot, sorry, I wanted to file a bug
jejeje
When you click and go to a category it gets a weirdpage, it shows a calendar and other things but not the archives of the category.
Look this http://psu.vidarara.com/publicaciones/category/ensayo/ (a category archive)
Anyway, it rocks, I love the design.
Greets!
this theme seems to make my php.exe start spawning multiple threads… and doesnt stop… running windows xp, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.4.4 and WP 2.0.4
Hey man hows it going…I wanted to know if you could send me your your older wordpress theme.Because it seems as tho the orignal 4u f has been changed and it doesnt display correctly in firefox anymore…
tho it looks as tho people who got your wp-theme before you updated it doesnt haven that problem.
I’d greatly appeciate it…
I’ve never used Hemingway but I have used widgets, so I’d be very grateful if you can help me understand how the blocks in the bottom bar behave compared to widgets, which they look like. Here are my three questions:
1. instead of like widgts, you can’t click on the titles to set options. So how can I change the text inside or configure what’s in those blocks?
2. Can I also install the widgets plugin and use that for the bottom bar or otherbar?
3. Can I add new types of blocks like you can add new types of widgets just by placing the widget file in the widgets folder?
Thanks for any help. I know I must be missing something obvious…
I agree with everyone - awesome theme more than a theme a mini CMS which is what I have been looking for.
Like Valerie I too am a bit confused about using the additional blocks
I tried to rename them on the Hem Options page but don’t understand how to add content to them I just ended up with a blank spot on my sidebar: “Your title here” Your content here”
Some pointers on how to use these blocks would be great because they are the real innovation here.
thanks
marcus
Is it me, or does positioning of some blocks and elements seem to be incorrect under firefox, where they work under IE6 just fine? Seems to be when your not logged on and visit a page that allows comments the “You must be logged in to post a comment.” is positioned wrong and has a knock on effect on the three bottom elements. A similar thing happens with the calendar in the archives.
jus dropping a line to say : am using ur theme !
http://sindhu.manicproject.co.uk
Can you suggest any photo galleries that integrate to fit this look and feel?
how do i change the number of recent comments appearing in the below sidebar block?
To Bob Ward:
Thank you
To sindhu:
Open the recent_comments.php file in the blocks directory,
You can find a number is 10, change the number.
thank you Utom! that worked. ive never bothered to look inside the folder now i get how the theme works
thankx again.
thnx Utom!
Thanks for the theme! It’s so beautiful! I am running a customized copy of your u4 on my website. I’m looking forward to update and future releases!
我装了以后,lightbox失效。显示网页有错误····?Why?
To Nanya:
Thank you! I can’t visit your website, because the network is confined at here! I’m sorry!
To Leo:
I have visited your website, I can’t find any wrong! so lightbox work fine in my IE6
我的问题解决了,可能是插件的问题。不过能不能把最新留言放在最前面呢?
Can be done, May need to change php code!
Your theme is old version, why do you update new version.
Are you planning on adding Widget support?
Thank you, thats templates is very nice…
Plz visit my blog and see…

@april:
Sorry, It’s my faults.
你好,Utom,我用这个主题为什么blog的标题不能显示,标题那个地方是空的。
哦,好了,可能是我以前安的hemingway跟这个有冲突,我重新设置之后就好了
Thank you!
I learned a lot about Wordpress just by using and modifying this great theme which I like a lot.
I have been trying to customize it to fit more content, but I am all new to CSS and Wordpress and I am still learning a lot…
What I’m trying to to is add another sidebar for the single.php file.
so instead of this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/58655823@N00/306783585/
I need to get this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/58655823@N00/306783592/
Do you have any tip on how I can do that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
There is a bug in search.php which always displays “There were no results, better luck next time.” even though there *are* rows returned.
To fix this, I added these 2 lines after “if (have_posts()) :”
$mySearch =& new WP_Query(”s=$s & showposts=-1″);
$results = $mySearch->post_count;
FYI.
I noticed this search bug too but could you kindly post a fuller explanation of where to put the code. Placing it straight after if (have_posts()) : just broke the search for me.
@bodsham: Here’s the snippet (I hope it show up properly):
post_count;
?>
Search Results
@bodsham: Oops. Here’s another shot at it.
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php
$mySearch =& new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
$results = $mySearch->post_count;
?>
<h1>Search Results</h1>
PS: If anyone can delete my previous comment, it will be great!
Thanks for tell me that bug!. thaks!
Thanks very much. Being very picky this will give you, if there’s one result, ‘There were one result found.’
I changed this to get correct grammar….
You searched for “” at . You found
Sorry - the php disappeared. But essentially I just changed the wording to ‘You found’ — one result. or ” results.”
Hi, I’m a newbie, and I don’t see how I could put something extra into the “other bar” - like simple text or images… with widgets it’s easy, but I would not venture to meddle with the php code of otherbar.php… is there a solution? Thanx in advance!!!
Arguably one of the most amazing WordPress theme I’ve seen!
Continue your excellent -and inspired- work.
Hello,
i like the theme a lot. I increased the font size and now the guidelines for the comments are below the comment box. How can i get them back on the right side of the comment box?
And an other question. How can i change the font colour for postings?
Thanks and best wishes!
Hello! Nice theme.
Was the lack of:
Pages:‘,”,’number’); ?>
In single.php on porpouse?
Err… oops.
I meant:
Pages:‘,”,’number’); ?>Sorry
Hi, Utom
Your Theme is great!
I have one question. Can you point me some clue how to take out the sidebar?
I am using WPG2 with Gallery2 program to show my photograph.
When I call link wp-gallery2.php to my gallery album, the sidebar makes the Gallery Theme in strange looking. The following are the WPG2 website says. However, I had hard time to find out where to call get_sidebar function in 4U
Q: Wordpress Sidebar still showing in Gallery2
Please check your Wordpress Theme Footer (footer.php) or Wordpress Theme Header (header.php) for the following statement.
If this statement is present please follow these steps.
Copy the footer.php to wpg2footer.php (or Copy the header.php to wpg2header.php depending on what file it is in)
Edit wpg2footer.php (or wpg2header.php) and remove
I had hard time trying to figure out this. Orz !!
Please help me! I can see you get a lot of comments. Hopefully, you can see my little question here. Thanks a lot!
OK! finally, its simple. It’s not the sidebar problem. Orz !!
I fix it. Thanks! Please delete my comments.
Just adjust the Gallery2 Width. That’s it!
love the theme. Its simple yet has all the features that i need.
Love the theme. I currently use the hemingway theme but find it a bit to boring but these modifications to the them spice it up a bit. Thanks Utom
Wow, nice Hemingway mod!
Most of WordPress users
are now caught by a feeling
of great happiness or euphoria.
Thx for the great theme.
I found a bug in search.php, too. But I could fix it by adding this line
before (row 24) of search.php.
Keeo up the good work!!

Dude, the template is megasweet. Thanks for all the hard work. I’ve been tweaking all day, adding plug-ins and loving this baby. It’s perfection.
Theme is really great. Maybe we could start something like a help place to share our problems and ideas how to make this and this.
I can make a forum topic for this on my forum.
If you want obviously.
This is a great theme, but I’m having trouble getting it work with Blogroll. Wherever I put it, I get an error: “WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'cat_1' in 'order clause']
SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_1 ASC” Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Nevermind. Thanks for making the theme.
Great Post. Very helpfull informations. Thanks a lot. Jürgen from Germany.

Hehe, jag är så givmild i mina bästa stunder
hi,
Great theme, I love it. I have but one problem the blogroll same problem as Athena:
“WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘cat_1′ in ‘order clause’]
SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_1 ASC
Hi, I was getting the same Blogroll error after I upgraded to WP 2.12:
“WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘cat_1′ in ‘order clause’]
SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_1 ASC
I think the get_links_list function that the blogroll uses has changed in WordPress 2.1x, so I just found the blogroll.php file in the ‘blocks’ directory of the Hemingway theme, then edited it. I changed:
‘, ”); ?>
to:
and the blogroll is working again.
HTH someone.
Great theme, thank you!
Oh crap, the php got filtered out when I posted! Basically, in the blogroll.php file, change:
get_links_list(1, ‘–h2–’, ‘–/h2–’);
(note, I have replaced the angle brackets with two dashes ‘–’ above to stop this blog filtering out the HTML)
to just:
get_links_list();
