Released free from Zidalgo.com, Modicus Remix is a super minimal WordPress theme. This theme is based on the original Modicus, unlike Modicus this theme has only 2 columns, which jives well with the minimal tone of this theme. The theme has a well defined and functional content and sidebar sections, and since the theme already addresses the styling of the typography it can be used as is. This well laid out structure is perfect as a starting theme for your design project, or if you dig minimalism, this is the theme for you. Check it out.

One of the best looking themes i’ve seen in along time. Great work!
I would have to agree.
Hello there. It’s a nice theme. But the header banner isn’t displaying. Do i need to do something to make it display?
Fath — the easiest way seems to be just change the ‘#headerstripe’ property in the style.css file to match the banner you’d like… you lose the stripes, but that may not be a bad thing. The only problem (other than you now have only one banner for all pages) is on the 404 page, where you’ll now have two headers — the new banner plus the 404 banner. You can decide what you’d like to do about that..
More help would be nice — I did like the way each page had a different banner on the site but I think these bits were removed for the public download.
Great theme though…
best–

I’ve got 2.3 working on Modicus Remix with the latest version of live archive. Just an FWI.
Or, just an FYI.
this is great! however, maybe u could reconsider in your instructions the part overwriting all existing plugins. most might have existing plugins that they would want to continue using and/or they would needing in case they would want to change back to their old theme theme for whatever reason.
thanks alot!
I clicked on the Modicus Remix link on Smash Magazine. I like your site even better, Brad! It took me the longest time to realize that this was not another version of Modicus Remix (with which I’m not familiar.) Boy did I feel like an idjut. Did you do this site yourself? It’s phenomenal.
This theme does look nice but as you said, but it is a work in progress indeed! I don’t have a banner showing but worse: my posts appears in the side columns when one continues the lecture away from the home page!
May you help me?
Hi,
It’s the end of January 2008 and I’m considering updating my current WP blog to use the Modicus Remix theme; can anyone help with a couple of questions?
1 – Any known compatibility issues with WordPress Version 2.3.2?
2 – Is the theme widget enabled? (I can’t see any statement on this)?
3 – What advice would you offer / check’s to be made / work-arounds that I should be aware of before implementing this theme?
4 – Other examples of the theme in use? – I’ve seen the excellent http://drew3000.net/
Another general questions to Brad…. I really like the ‘Featured Article’ functionality in the “Magazine News” theme:
1 – Any plans to include this in the “Remix” theme? Or, has anyone done this – would you care to share?
2 – Can you assign particular images / banners to individual posts? Or can only one be displayed at any one time?
Thanks for making the theme available.
Regards.
anyone have this issue:
With “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” checked off in the admin area, and you’re logged out on the front end, the sidebar doesn’t float right anymore, it ends up under the posts. I found this issue on versions 2.2/x and 2.3.x. Anyone else run into this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Adam
Awesome looking theme, but i too am wondering where my ‘featured article’ is… How do i go about implementing this? I love it!
adam
Haven’t seen it, if you link the problem blog I’ll take a quick peek.
I am having the same problem as adam
brad, loggin to your theme and/or check it, then please try to logged out and check the single page so you can see the error we were referring to. i’d been through all files but can’t seem to find the error :/
It seems that your fabulous theme doesn’t work with the new Wordpress 2.5. I am so sad… Are there any plans to make the theme compatible? It would be a shame if it were to get lost in the upgrade shuffle.
hi, i really appreciate your modicus remix theme. since i use it for my art weblog (in german language) i never had the feeling to search another wp-design. it’s really fantastic work.
Maggie, what issues have you encountered with WP 2.5? I just installed it along with Modicus Remix and am just about to publish my first post on my new blog. The only thing I’ve noticed so far is that the Preview Post function doesn’t work.
Brad, I really like the theme. Looking to get a compatible version as well with the new WP install.
i am geting errors (WP 2.5)
i activated all plugins. i don’t know how to solve this. any idea?
thanks

FATAL ERROR: CALL TO UNDEFINED FUNCTION AKST_SHARE_LINK() IN/HOME/HTTPD/VHOSTS/PUREPASSION.CH/HTTPDOCS/WORDPRESS/WP-CONTENT/THEMES/MODICUS-REMIX/INDEX.PHPON LINE 7
I’ll be updating the theme soon to support Wordpress 2.5 – Probably no more then a week
How far along are you with the update? I have a brand new blog I’d like to use this wonderful theme for.
That’s a brilliant theme, thanks. I’m gonna use it for my wife’s blog.
Hi,
Im getting this error on the page. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: akst_share_link() in /mnt/w0706/d34/s26/b02783b1/www/adamsback.com/wp-content/themes/modicus-remix/index.php on line 7
Nice
Awesome theme, dude. Thumbs up!
hey people with the akst_share_link() problem, i think that’s because you didn’t install the required plugin. put a conditional in there if you don’t want to use it (i guess the theme could have done a function_exists()…
hey brad if you’re updating this soon, it would be cool too if category links and page links were generated dynamically…
Nice artc. thank
hey,
any word on when the new release supporting 2.5 will be ready?? dying to use the theme, but getting the same errors as above ^^
Thanks
Really nice theme! Thank you very much, I may just have to switch over to this new one…
ndt
All outstanding issues should be resolved. Theme has been updated, post here with any bugs. Thanks!
Hey i love the theme, well done sir and thank you kindly for putting it out there. I have but one question, is there a way by default to keep the large picture header or do I need to go in and edit the html and put it in myself.?
Thanks again.
Kerry: You would need to go in and add it yourself into the header, or wherever else. When I was using them on the first versions of artculture, I setup different category pages, so I could use different header graphics on different categories.
Wow! This is an outstanding theme. One of the best minimalistic themes for Wordpress. Period.
I’ve using it on my blog!
http://www.thesecondpress.com/blog/
A wonderfull theme i use it on my own website now, i changed it a little bit but its great!
internetanddesign.com
Sorry if this is a silly question. How do I get rid of the blog title on the sidebar and replace is with something like what you have “About the author: Brad Mahaffey”
Using in my blog with some modifications (and french translation). Nice !
nice theme
Awesome theme, dude. Thumbs up!
Hi,
As my understanding, this is widget-enable WordPress theme. However, when I tried to use some features from the widget, it just can’t show in my page.
For example, I activate the calendar at my widget section, but it doesn’t show at my blog. Why?
Anything I missed here?
Thanks.
The theme looks great in Firefox but it’s not dispalying properly in IE7 ??
Any suggestions?
Awesome, so SEO friendly
How do i get that banner that is shown in the preview? The banner image with all the colors that art thingy! I want it badly? I installed the theme but I dont have the banner…
Thanks for a great theme! I’m tinkering with some customizations and trying to set a background color apart from the posts. Does anyone know how to do this?
See what I have so far here:
http://prettyanyway.com/thoughts/
I set the posts and sidebar to white, but I want the white to extend all the way down to the footer so everything’s even. I’m sure it’s something simple that I’m missing.
Any help would be loved!
Very nice and clean, which I like.
Hey! Love this theme!!! Kudos!!! Used it on my own blog: http://www.wantusiak.com
great theme!
question: on clicking on a post heading or category, the titles etc appear in the top of the sidebar rather than in the main column. which part of the code controls this? i want to change it. thanks!
nice theme
Really cool theme – very plain and simple, which gives it an uncluttered feel. Great for mostly text blogs imo.
one word : Thanks
Zaebimba
Is there any way to edit the navigation so that sub-pages do not show up?
Thanks!
Change the wp_list_pages in the header.php file to something like this:
depth=1 means that only top level pages will be displayed
hmmmm….
It looks like the code is not displaying here…
add the depth=1 parameter as an argument to your wp_list_pages tag in the header.php file
Thanks for the tip. I know this is a stupid question, but how do I add an argument? Do I simply copy depth=1 where “title_li=” used to be? If so, this seems to break the nav and display extra characters like “Page” above the nav.
Thanks for the theme. It’s awesome… We are remixing it. Check it out.
Yes, you have to add the “depth=1″ argument to where “title_li=” is. If you want to preserve the title of the nav that says “Pages” then put it instead the “title_li=”, however, if you want to get rid of it, then your whole thing will look like this: “wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1′)”
Hope this helps
It worked! Many thanks!
I love this theme, I love the simplicity of it, very nice work
Thank You >_<
Well the first thing I want to say is wow… Ive been looking over your site for over an hour now and you are very Very talented… Im something of an amatuer designer myself and have been thinking about starting to design a few themes… I wonder if you can give me a little advice… Where do you get the color ideas from… I know the above theme was a kind of a different approach to an existing theme but what about when you start from scratch? I used to use a tool at this color chart website but it seems they have taken it down… do you have any color scheme tools that you use or do you start from scratch off the top oif your head? thanks
Tony
Hi – THANK YOU for this template.. It’s so nice.
I have a problem though, I can’t show comments in my posts. It says that its disabled, though its not.
Can anyone help me here?
Is there a way make where the main title displays, a picture instead of text? For example, in the sample where it says Art Culture, make that a picture. thanks for any help!
amazing!!
its possible use a logo, black stripes and then a header banner, just like the picture preview of modicus remix?
i want to use a logo, but also i want a header banner, but i dont want to loose the black stripes, if you see the artculture logo in this modicus remix, its on the header but also have a tiny part floating in the right corner, how do you that?
im not good coding in css or php, if i modify the css stripelines i can use a banner, but i don’t want to lose it, but also want the logo and the headstripes
please help
i want use a image display, or use above a logo, text, stripes and then header banner
Hej Brad,
thank you for the modicus remix theme!
I’m using it at http://www.emergencyhousing.se and it runs really nicely and looks great. I havent modified it at all, might do some minor minor changes (putting sponsor logos from sidebar to underneath footer) but really like it. What I might have to change is our blogg/company logo to meet up with the standard…
This is my first wordpress experience and I truely enjoy it, used to work without publishing tool at my former sites… heavy…
May i make a wich for a premium theme? A visual, portfolio-like theme to display designwork easily. And a webshop to go with it -but I assume thats another story?
Part from my work at the emergency housing project I run a company with family and friends, http://www.chen-karlsson.com. Our site rally needs an upgrade. We would love to run it under wordpress, so we just wait for a suitable theme from you;) Anyone in development that would be suitable youthink?
Keep up the good work!
Johan
I need to know how to display the logo image in my blog http://techmagazine.eu
Hello,
I am using the Modicus Remix Theme for my website, http://www.cafemimosasc.com. I am trying to add a custom header, which I have created in Illustrator. I can’t quite figure out how to edit the html code to add an image. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Ali
All outstanding bugs should now be resolved with release of v2.0. Please post any further issues or bugs in our new community forums
This theme needed an update so badly! And now it’s there. This is the best typography-orientated theme out there (maybe together with Upstart Blogger Minim). I’m really hoping this site will grow and that forums will become a useful place to visit.
If this works on 2.7.* I so am going to get a better and reliable host, and use this for at least a year. It’s the best minimalist theme I’ve seen thus far! Keep up the great work
) and thank you for sharing.
I love the update. I really like the 2 column vs. 3. great work Brad.
I’ve got it download and will use it whenever possible. I’ll also try to make sure i put your link too and send a comment too.
Great theme! thanks for sharing
Hey there,
I have an ordered list in a page but the numbers aren’t showing. I’ve tried a couple of different css changes to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions?
The example
Thanks!
great job, excelent theme, thanks for sharing!!!!!
Hey there again,
besides my previous question about ordered list numbers not showing up. I changed the header so that it would have a background image. I set the background image in the div, but for some reason it’s not showing up in ie. Playing around I set the background of the header as a color and it shows up in IE. In firefox it shows up behind the image.
Anyone?
Example for the header issue:

Thats a pic of the error I’m getting.
The support for this theme is relying on the community, if you got a problem and a solution. Please share it if someone else got the same problem. Cheers.
If you’re getting an error on line 123 or whatever the number may be it’s most likely because you need an updated version of wordpress.
Im a rookie at this but for some reason the catigoires, tags and archives sections are not showing up on the sites side bar. Any tips ?

pls help.
Hi. I was just wondering if there can be an update for this theme. Currently it doesn’t support the comment threading of WordPress 2.7.1.
I tried to edit it using the documentation at WordPress.Org but I only ended up messing the whole layout.
I hope my comment will be heard. Thanks!
I love this theme, i also liked the fonts used in the theme… i want to thanks to the author of the theme for giving his/her valuable time to develop this theme… will use it…

Hi, thx for this wonderful theme! Can you tell me where I can find the part in style.css or elsewhere to change the first lines from red into black?
Thx!
Can anoyone tell me exactly where to go to change my logo into an image? I’ve tried modifying the css, header.php, and nothing….
What lines from red into black?
strongly cuttig edge themes. awesome. nice 2 meet u
very simple and elegant. nice template.
I would love to use this theme on a new wordpress blog, however, I’m not quite sure how to do that…the rtf directions say to Login to your Wordpress administration panel and then Click Presentation, and select Modicus Remix as your theme. I don’t have “Click Presentation” as an option. Sorry to be so dense.
thank you for this wonderful template, beautiful in its simplicity.
i’m having a tiny problem with it though! when i view my site in firefox or safari on a mac, it works all fine, but when viewed in an ie browser on a pc, each blog post seems to appear twice on top of each other, making the text seem fuzzy. and the whole thing pretty much doesn’t work. anyone else has this problem? by the way, i’m also running a featured content gallery plug in, does this have anything to do with the mess?
would appreciate any help!!!! thanks!
nice, very nice theme, good job!
Thank you , love Clear Theme style
Gorgeous and highly functional theme–works like a charm with Wordpress 2.8.4. Thank you for making the theme available for free!
Strict and nice theme. Just wondering if it has been updated? I see that the first posting of it is from 2007?
Hi there
I’m in love with the theme! Thanks so much for releasing it to the public.
I have one problem though. Under the ’single entry’ page, my sidebar goes under my post, instead of next to it. Could someone help me understand why? My pictures and text are all smaller than the body width. hmm…
Thanks for the superb template. I’ve modified it in very minimalistic ways to fit my needs. Just wanted to thank you for the great foundation.
Patrick
Where in the style sheet do you add a border? So that when you post images there will be an automatic border around it?
I’ve been waiting eagerly on it to Modicus v3
thanks for your theme! it’s awesome, however, how do i remove the identification tab from the sidebar? i have a very simple photoblog and i don’t want the viewers to register or anything like that. i just want them to show my photos. how do i remove the “identification” part?
what’s going on?! praises to the think tank on this theme! i’m new to blogs and have been pulling at my veins trying to understand how to have visitors return to the ‘home’ with an option other than the logo/title of the page… what do i do….what do i do…. any advice?
thanks in advance!

Hey I’m getting a “Fatal error: Call to undefined function akst_share_link()” on the NewsPlus theme. I updated all the plugins and now have this error – Should I revert to old plugins or is there something I can find that will help me fix this error?
the error comes up when you click on the post which then is meant to go to that single.php.
very nice theme, good job!

Hi Justin,
Have you checked the forums? You can replace a line in the header.php to add your own logo. Post a forum message if you are still having issues.

Hi Earl,
