GreyDove Wordpress theme with Adsense support


(Click here to enlarge)
GreyDove is a simple and elegant Wordpress theme with lots of features. It has been designed to provide Wordpress users with a theme that's free but as good as a custom-made theme.The theme is being released under GNU General Public License. (Download GreyDove 1.1.3)


GreyDove makes use of search engine optimization. The problem of duplicate content has been taken care of by instructing search engines not to index pages other than homepage and single pages.

Homepage of GreyDove prefers to show post excerpts along with a thumbnail created automatically from the image mentioned while creating the post. In case the post does not have an excerpt or thumbnail image, the full post is displayed. If "MORE" tag is used in the post, a custom "Read More" link appears with the post.

The theme has an option for showing Featured Posts, which can be set while creating or editing a post.

The options page of the theme (Appearance -> GreyDove Options in Wordpress amin panel) allows various customizations, including control over showing or disabling About Me and Featured Posts boxes in the sidebar.

The theme has provision for showing ads under the post title and at the end of the posts. The codes to be used for displaying the ads can be set using the options page of the theme (Appearances -> GreyDove Options in Wordpress admin panel). In case one wants to disable either or both the ads above and below the posts on single pages, it can be done by checking the boxes in the writing panel while creating or editing the posts.

If one wants to display ads in the sidebar, just go to Appearances -> Widgets in Wordpress admin panel and add text widget(s) to the appropriate sidebar. Now, paste the ad code in the text box and save.

The Archives page in GreyDove is special. It will display all categories, archives by months as well as list all the posts. To create an archives page in GreyDove, create a blank page with title as Archives or something similar. Set the template for the page as "Archives" and save the blank page.

The footer of GreyDove is also customizable. Just add anything to the footer using GreyDove Options page under Appearances tab in Wordpress admin panel. Since the theme is being released under GNU General Public License, it's imperative that you retain the sentence that reads "GreyDove theme by Nyutech". You may reword the sentence in a way that's neither offensive nor distorts the meaning.

It does not support Internet Explorer 6 and may not function in optimum way. The theme displays a notice to all IE6 visitors that they are using an obsolete version of a Web browser and urges them to upgrade to a newer version of nay popular browser.

There is no demo for this Wordpress theme but you can see GreyDove in images (Homepage, Posts and Archives).

Enjoy the theme. Do give me your feedback.

Update (9 November 2009): GreyDove has been added to Wordpress.org's Themes directory. Just check the GreyDove page on Wordpress.org for demo of the theme.

Update (19 November 2009): Thanks, Laura and Yaramazadam for pointing out the issue with thumbnails. It was an error with TimThumb. Perhaps I was using an old version which wasn't functioning on many servers. Today, when I upgraded my server for a thorough checking of the theme for solving the thumbnail issue, I faced the error too. Changing TimThumb file has solved the problem.

I use the grey dove theme in my wordpress blog and I really like it. But as you mentioned, the theme is not optimized for Explorer. My photos get stretched out vertically and it looks awful!

Are you planning on optimize the theme for Explorer soon or do you have any tip I can try?
