MIMBO is a clean, customizable magazine-style theme for WordPress. It’s also a simple framework which can be modified with child themes, discussed further down in the documentation. Read more about the latest features.
Download
Installation
- Download and unzip the file
- Move the folder into “/wp-content/themes/”
- Log in into your WordPress control panel
- Click Appearance->Themes
- Select the “Mimbo” screenshot
Requirements
Mimbo requires WordPress 2.7+ and GD Library installed on your host server. GD Library is bundled with any server running PHP 4.3+.
Support and Discussion
After 180,000+ downloads, Mimbo has an active forum community that largely supports itself when I cannot help.
If you are using Mimbo for a project and have emergency questions, I strongly recommend using one of the Experts over at WPQuestions.com, a problem-solving community for WordPress.
Donate
Mimbo first launched in August 2007, becoming WordPress’s first magazine-style theme. If you use Mimbo extensively, especially for commercial projects, please consider donating a few bucks to help this popular project evolve:
Getting Things Configured
- In your control panel, click Appearance->Mimbo Options and select your featured categories. This will insert content in the left sidebar of the homepage.
- Go to Users->Your Profile and fill out a bio
- The author photo also requires that you have an account at gravatar.com
- Go to Appearance->Widgets and add some content to the right column
Frequently Asked Questions
- I’ve installed the theme, but an error says, “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() “.
See the first item in “Getting Things Configured” above. - How much do you charge for customizations?
Sorry, I am not available for freelance jobs currently. - How do I add images to the homepage?
Custom fields are longer required, as in past versions. The thumbnails you see on the homepage and category pages are automatically pulled from the body of your posts and resized dynamically–no extra effort is required. If the thumbnails don’t work, make sure permissions for /mimbo/, /scripts/ and /cache/ are all set to 0777. - Why does my lead image look funny?
Make sure you are starting with an image that is 260px wide or larger. Photos can be shrunk, but not stretched. - How do I add a post to the lead story box?
This makes use of the WP 2.7 sticky post functionality. In the control panel, select Visibility->Stick this post to the front page. - Why are some pages not loading?
Did you upgrade to WP 2.7? - How do I insert advertisements?
Install the WP125 plugin and drop the widget into your sidebar. Then go to Ads->Settings and make sure to unclick “Include default ad stylesheet?”, as Mimbo comes pre-styled for this plugin. - How do I make my homepage excerpts look neater?
By default, the_excerpt function uses the first 55 words of the post, including the original formatting. This can make things look messy on your homepage. If you’d like to write a separate excerpt for your posts, use the Optional Excerpt field in your Write panel. - How do I change the number of posts in the middle column and on the category/archive pages?
This number is set in the control panel under Settings->Reading->”Blog pages show at most”. - How do I switch on the custom Archives page?
Just create a new page and make sure to select “Archives” from the template dropdown menu. - How do I add a favicon?
Create a 16×16 image, name it favicon.ico and drop it in the theme’s /images/ folder.
Customizations and Child Themes
If you plan to customize Mimbo, please consider creating a child theme to make future upgrades easier. The following child themes are currently available:
What is a child theme? It’s a smaller theme which inherits most of its code/functionality from its parent. They also work in conjunction, example: Mimbo must be installed first before Vintage Green can be activated.
Why are child themes useful? Because they allow you to append simple stylistic changes (colors, typography) to your child theme folder, superceding the styles defined in /mimbo/, without actually touching them. Because the two packages are kept separate, your work does not get overwritten each time Mimbo is upgraded.
Since the release of WordPress 2.7, you can also add templates (ex: sidebar.php) to your child theme folder, thus overwriting the parent sidebar. But if you overwrite multiple templates and make significant modifications, it is up to you to track/compare your changes the next time Mimbo is upgraded.

Darren,
Thanks for your generous effort with this. I’ve been playing around with the WP tags since your previous article in this series, and having a reference example like this theme is a great help.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers – GD
1:27 am
This is an amazing theme! Really – you did such a good job with it. I love it!
10:36 am
Very unique theme!
I never thought you will release it when I first read your tutorial. :D
9:38 pm
Thanks for the feedback, guys. If you choose to use the theme for an online magazine you’re launching, send me the link and I’ll include it in a roundup of Mimbo-enabled sites sometime soon (I’m already seeing a few popping up in the referrers).
2:06 am
Great theme Darren.
I’m trying it out on a music blog/net label site.
8:30 am
Nice theme, i like the magazine style. I’m already using it on my site.
1:07 pm
I’m using this theme for my upcoming magazine. Check the link out. I promise I’m actually going to do some customization of the theme soon, I’ve just been busy. What is the license on Mimbo by the way?
1:14 pm
Mimbo is under the GNU/GPL license, for what that’s worth. I urge people to do whatever they want with the theme — leaving the credit link in the footer or in the CSS is always appreciated.
A few people have asked about the “Read More” function inside the Lead Story. Please see item #8 in the Release Notes for further explanation.
7:47 pm
I still don’t know how to make the features images to show up. I’ve uploaded them into the main article but didn’t worked. How do I do this?
11:05 pm
Bruno, check out #8 in the original article. The images should be referenced in the_excerpt (make sure to use an absolute path), or you can always create a custom field for them instead.
4:57 pm
Great theme, love the simplicity of it. Thanks for sharing it.
9:43 am
Thanks for making this theme!
7:08 pm
Hey. I should have said this much earlier (I was one of the people who requested this), but I got sidetracked with other stuff. Anyway, I want to say thank you for putting the theme together. I really appreciate it. Thanks again.
10:09 pm
I’m trying this theme out for a new blog that I’m working on. I really really like what you’ve done with the custom homepage template. It has gotten me to look at templates in a whole new light. It really goes to show the extendability of good old WordPress.
8:45 am
Wow, its so clean and neat. i will be using it.
11:47 pm
It looks really good in fact. I am planning on a redesign of my site and your layout is some what similar to what I had in mind for my site.
8:52 am
i have been looking for sometime for a theme that does just this, awesome…however being a bear of very little brain i find it a leetle tricky, as my daughter would say. any chance of a “dummies guide to mimbo” for thicko mountaineers like me! seriously i think it is a swee piece of work and will no doubt spawn a thousand on-line magazines – Rock on !!
4:30 pm
Darren this theme/cms is great and I have also been looking to do something like this for my tech site and for a video game site I’m launching. I’m sure this it straight forward to a lot of people but I’m pretty new to WP. What would you charge to get my layout done and arranged so I can work on writing and reviewing products.
I can learn it on the back in and take it apart to figure it out, but putting it together is my challenge.
3:29 pm
how to insert widgets? i’ve inserted it into the sidebars wizard in the WP dashboard but the widgets don’t show up.. can anyone help me??
10:26 am
Man… thanks… I’ll be converting my current magazine blog – http://www.hoodgrownonline.com to use mimbo over the weekend….
if all goes well… i’ll have it done by Monday…
3:50 pm
Fantastic Theme
My blog http://www.cycling-challenge.com using Mimbo 2.0
Many thx
12:28 am
I’ve got my Mimbo site up and running… A LOT quicker than I thought I would…
though I’m still making improvements here and there….
thanks for a great template…
you can check out my modifications to the template here:
http://www.hoodgrownonline.com/online/
2:30 pm
Wow. Amazing one. Very covenient desgin! Upgrading my blog right now! ;)
Thank you for the tremendous job.
7:52 pm
Men I love this one, how much you want for add one more column, wigetize both columns and footer and make it liquid?
8:03 pm
I mean, I think It worth pay something for a amazing concept. Please sont take it wrong.
4:40 am
one word!….AMAZINE!
11:09 am
good theme, iam going to use it. can i modify it
6:32 pm
This looks fabulous! :D Thank you! I was wondering if the menu features any dropdown function for sub menus at all please?
7:01 pm
@sms_sunder: please modify it as much as you want – Mimbo is very unstyled on purpose.
@Mosey: you could edit the CSS to incorporate Suckerfish menus, or you could edit the sidebar to incorporate code like this:
< ?php if(wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=2")) { ?> < ?php } ?>
That will print a list of sub-level pages for category 2 (in this case). You can also see it in action here (“Explore”).
7:44 pm
Well, what I just read is nothing like what I expected from the kid who climbed trees and chased my daughter, his sister’s best friend. Actually, I understood your chasing better than whatever the heck it is I read above. Mimbo, bimbo…one day ya gotta clue me, buddy!
12:37 pm
Congratulations Daren,
Can I use this magazine theme like blog theme? I want the main page in sequence , like a blog, the first post at the top(lead story), after the second, third, (right col) etc. I want to preserve the “features” at the left side. Victoria Theme at http://www.writerspace.net/index.php/2007/05/24/victoria-wordpress-theme/ have this structure.
If you have any idea, send-me one feedback.
thanks…
2:42 am
Hi
i have a question
the homepage.php file where´s save?
i don´t configure yet im newbie!
6:14 am
i will try this one, looks promising!
10:11 am
I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_tags() in /home/bycoddot/public_html/tinerisararie/wp-content/themes/mimbo2/archive.php on line 39
10:21 am
We’re getting a lot of the same comments about tag errors. Please read the config instructions closely before posting:
“Mimbo 2.0 is built to support the current version of WordPress (2.3). If you get fatal errors related to tags (â€?Call to undefined function: is_tagâ€?), please upgrade.”
11:09 am
Great theme Darren. I’m already using Mimbo 1.x on my photoblog/site. Here is how I have built/think my site: phimagery relooking. Note: my site is for private use, i open it for some days as demo of your fantastic template. PhG
12:31 pm
hi Darren !
It’s really an amazing theme !!! REALLY !!!
I modified it a little to work with WPmu (no is_tag and other features).
I’m using it for an online communities and a french association (don’t know if it’s the correct word in english).
Really thank you for releasing it.
Mat_
4:08 pm
Darren,
Thank you for the theme design. It is a logical layout which provides maximum content for a limited space. It is now in place on the U.S. Common Sense web site, and I look forward to using the design to its maximum potential.
8:28 pm
Hi,
I want to use this theme really bad, but I am hosting with Godaddy and their wordpress package is still the older version. Is it compatible yet?
Thanks,
1:20 pm
Phillip,
Sounds like you need to ask GoDaddy to upgrade your wordpress version.
6:16 am
we really like the theme.
and a question…
is it possible to showing ads in sidebar only in post pages?
12:11 pm
Hoodgrown is nice!! I love the site and the splash screen loads quick. You will have to email me to tell me how you did it. I’m loving the look of it and how professional the template looks.
Great work on the template Darren. I haven’t installed changed things over yet for my site but I’m working on it.
Does anyone know if there is a sandbox feature for WordPress?
10:20 am
Thanks for this theme. It’s by far been my favorite to work with yet. :) I just set up a free press release writing guide on Mimbo yesterday, and it’s absolutely perfect for it. :)
3:41 pm
Hey Darren, I love this theme, but I cant get to load on my homepage properly. I have upgraded to the latest version of wordpress. And it gives me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function language_attributes() in /mounted-storage/home28b/sub002/sc25305-JTLA/www/wp-content/themes/mimbo2/header.php on line 2
What on earth is the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THx, and keep up the good work.
7:57 am
MC ,
You need to be running WordPress 2.3. I had the same problem and the minute I upgraded.. it went away…
BJ, thanks for the comments… I could tell you.. but then I’d have to kill you… lol
Jenn, I think your site would be of great interest to the visitors of my site.. i’m going to add a link sometime today.
2:42 pm
Hey Hoodgrown Magazine.. How did you get the categories on the top menu? You have pages in the top menu and shows blog items from each site there..
You know what I mean? I loved it.. And i want to do the same thing on my site so please tell me :)
3:43 pm
I wondering in the same as sunipeyk does.
Is it possible to have ads in sidebar only in posts pages and not on the frontpage?
8:58 pm
Hey Darren, just wanted to drop a note and let you know that I’ve installed this theme on my blog. It’s a great theme, and it’s written so well. I’m not a theme writer, but I was able to modify it quite easily to meet my needs. Thanks for the great work!
11:20 pm
Darren,
Great theme!
I am preparing me to use this issue, but it would be better for SEO, if you put the title of the posts tagged in the index.
What do you think?
12:22 pm
Hi, Darren
I’ve just finished tweaking your theme to the look that i want. There’re some of my friends want it, and i cheer them to use it, can i redistribute it. I’ll just add my link on the css file and leave your credit intact. And i will not do that if you say no.
11:20 am
How can I use images in Custom Fields at the archive pages where the articles/news are listed down? Is it hard to configure?
11:50 am
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_tag() in C:\root\main\wp-content\themes\mimbo2.1\archive.php on line 4
6:08 pm
This is a great theme! Thanks for offering to the public.
I was wonder if there’s away to avoid duplicate posts on the front page.
If someone posts to Gadgets AND Features, for example, is there a way to ensure that the post only shows up under one of those categories (but only on the front page).
Thanks again. Great theme.
1:04 am
Hi Darren,
Well, a thousand thanks for this great theme :)
I have made a logo of dimention 388/100 i.e. width of 388px and a height of about 100px. But when I upload it to the your said directory for logo images, and make the changes to style.css page as you have said, I’m not getting the complete image displayed:( and without that logo my blog is incomplete. To be frank I’m completely new for all these things, so I’m not technically that sound. So plz help me to make my complete image shown as the logo of my site. Hope you will help me regarding this.
Once again thanks for this great theme darren. Looking for your reply. Thanks in advance :)
2:53 am
thanks very much for sharing this! the best them i’ve ever seen!
PinoyBanda.com will be reborn with this new cool theme!
Thanks again!
2:32 am
Hi, does anyone had this problem:
if I would change just encoding of index.php to UTF8, save it and upload to server, formating of index page would be broken, but just on IE 7. If I would re-save it with ANSI format, everything comes back to normal. Otherwise very good theme :) I’m using latest version of Mimbo.
1:07 pm
Interesting, that WinMerge shows both files (UTF8 and ANSI) are identical. And other php files of the theme are doing OK with UTF8 encoding. I really need it because I will use this theme with other language than English. Does anyone has any ideas? Thanks!
5:42 pm
Still fooling around with a new idea, but,
In the left Column, Instead of using the first 3 articles in a selected category.
I have set it up so that it selects Random articles from a selected category using the Random Posts Plug-in: Basically I wanted to feature articles but not in chronological order, and wanted a bit of variety from randomness
http://rmarsh.com/plugins/random-posts/
Its a bit complicated adding images and styling but the concept is likely useful for some people that want to rotate through certain old content that is relatively timeless – So on my personal site – currently – I have 8 articles in the feature category and at any one time 4 are shown.
Just brainstorming
regards
11:19 pm
UTF8 problem is solved. You have to save php file using UTF without BOM. I’m using notepad++ so it allows to do this. You can read more on:
http://juicystudio.com/article/utf-byte-order-mark.php
4:43 am
Hello,
plz can anyone help me? My header image is not showing fully. Only the half part is showing & the below half part is not showing. It has a height of 100px. Plz say what should I have to do to m ake my image show-up fully?
Plz help, just because of this problem my site is pending totally. PLz anyone help, plz…..
10:11 pm
Darren
Really nice work…I’m wondering how the Lead Story could be used to display a video versus an image? I’d like to use the theme for a videoblog and the Lead Story would be used for the latest video. I’d use the Features area to display screenshot images of older episodes of the show and when you click through you’d view the video on its own page.
By creating a new key in the custom fields called “video” and then providing the path to the hosted video (in a player of the same height/width), would this not duplicate the Lead Story use for images? I suspect you’d also need to make the appropriate changes in the Index file to reference the “video” versus the “image”. Am I on the right track here or is this just not possible?
Thx
1:03 am
Scot, just used the custom fields gui plugin (http://rhymedcode.net/projects/custom-field-gui/)
9:32 am
Btw is this theme compitable with WordPress MU?
12:48 pm
Why there’s no comment section on pages? How can I add this?
12:50 pm
Hi Darren,
just wanted to let you know I’ve downloaded your amazing theme for a website I’m doing for my father. I hope he loves it as much as I do! It’ll be used for a business-site — hopefully, one day, that business will actually *make* money :) — we won’t forget to donate for the theme at that point!
Again, thank you for an amazing, beautiful & flexible theme!!
– Marti
12:51 pm
Bugger. Had a wrong URL under my paste *oops* Here’s the right one, sorry!
7:27 pm
great theme!
i’m currently playing around with it a little bit. the site is not online yet.
now, i was wondering, how i could use the index.php template for arhives and maybe even pages…
thx
12:16 pm
I thought you might be interested to know that I was going to use your theme, but due to vision problems with your site being only in black with the grey and blue tones of writing, it is too impossible to understand or even read how to use it.
You should consider accessibility I think.
5:19 pm
Darren, Great job on this theme, thank you so much, I plan to spend a lot of time playing with it later htis evening. Will post a link when the site looks good.
Rory — the theme contains both a layout and a style. If you like the layout, you can simple change the style.css page to use colors that are accessible. If Darren, or anyone else, is going ot make an accessible version for color blind or other poor vision peeps, do you have a link to a color palette that works well?
I know it could be googled, but a source from someone who actually knows would be great.
10:02 pm
Using the theme for my Southern Sundress portal for sundress information. Still working on getting it perfect but I love this theme
4:01 am
congratulations darren!
i was wondering the same thing as frido. is there a walk around for that?
1:21 pm
Just want to let you know that we are using a tweaked version of Mimbo on Amisnet network, you can see it live on http://amisnet.org and in some subdomains (like http://scirocco.amisnet.org, http://radiocarta.amisnet.org and http://radiolaser.amisnet.org).
I’ve written a template management page, to let users choose categories without hand-tweaking the theme files, and we’ll send you some code as soon as we get it cleaned. Hope you’ll like it :-)
2:49 pm
HELP ! ! !! !
hi can i upload this theme on my on my free wordpress blog .
5:39 pm
Hi,
I have tried to make a drop down menu comparable to the one displaying archives but for categories, so far without success. Would you know how I should modify the code in the sidebar template ?
Any clue would be highly appreciated. :)
7:15 am
Hi, just moved my blog over to this theme, and I am really linking it! Very nice job, it’s great. I’ll be customising it more over the next few weeks…
Thanks!

6:59 pm
solid layout, very functional. I like the mouse over gray background on the main page.
10:54 am
Hi Darren,
we are thinking about usage of this theme. You might will see this theme at http://www.bigup.cz
Bye.
3:11 am
Hello Darren,
This is such a great theme and I think with this single theme, I could integrate my three blogs into one site.
I have one request though, could you help me create a code that I can place in the single page so I could enable navigation within the same category. Like
>
Because right now, I could only make a code that can navigate previous and next posts regardless of the category. I know this is a free theme and I’m in no place to demand for more but I’m hoping you could grant me this simple request.
Thanks again for a great free theme and more power to you.
11:07 am
Hi,
Great THEME!
quick question, is there a plugin that would show random lead story? something similar like http://www.wp-magazine.com/ where it shows ramdom features articles.
Thank you.
Brian
3:02 pm
Thanks for this wonderful theme. I am very impatient to install it! Keep the good work!

Darren…
I know this question will probably be marked as **DUMB**, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out on my own. On the main page under contributors, my name appears as a link. When I click my name, the URL that appears in the URL bar is passthetaters.com/author/Phil%20B I don’t have a directory called author. I could create one, but I’m not sure I should at this point. Where did you intent this link of the contributor’s name to direct to? All it brings up for me is a Error 404 – Not Found page. I LOVE your theme – props to ya!
9:48 am
liked this one. downloaded and will be used on a friend’s website.

Fanastic theme, really pushing the boundaries, and showing what can be done with WordPress!
1:08 pm
very nice design, props for releasing this as GPL. The web is about open standards, actually being able to see the design of a site is only going to help everyone creating more accessible sites.

6:47 pm
Hi Darren,
Thanks for this great template. I use it on http://www.adicie.com
However, I think it misses a display of the latest headlines on the homepage. I tried using but can’t get it to work :-(
If you get a chance, please let me know if you know of a solution.
Thanks
Keep up the good work :-)
2:44 am
Hi Darren,

1:15 am
Great theme Darren…
I’m gonna try it in my new tech blog…

Hi.
Thanks for a great theme.
Just wanted to tell you about a tweak we did. Sometimes we have a 605px-banner instead of the normal “feature”-section on the front page. Instead of hardcoding this each time, we created an IF statement. If the custom fields “type” is “picture”, we skip the normal feature section and show the picture with a link.
The statement looks like this, remember to set the appropriate values in Custom Fields.
query_posts(‘showposts=1&cat=3′);
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$type = get_post_custom_values(“type”);
if ($type[0] == “picture”) {
// print the picture and link
} else {
the feature section in the normal theme.
}
We created our own class (pictureclass) and skipped tweaking the “feature clearfloat”. So the section is printed “inside” the ifelse blocks, not on top as in the standard theme.
8:53 am
Hi Darren,
Great work on this. I’ll give it a go to one of mine.
Hope i can get it right cause i really dont get aclue about some stuff like PHP etc.
Happy new year,
see ya in a few days
Veloso
9:20 am
Darren, congrats for your theme! Awesome! For the categories, i´ve to edit all my categories? I have to put all the categories that i have at my blog? Hugs from Brazil and Haapy 2008 with more lovely themes.
9:23 am
One more thing, would you put a translate button, for visitors of another contries (like me) could read your site in an easy way?
11:28 am
I have started a Nintendo Wii magazine, and I absolutely love using this theme.
I would like to know how I can put a line break in the author box that shows after each post? I have tried the common ( and ) but the code just gets stripped, and I can’t seem to format a break in the text. Can someone show me the light?
Thanks,
Bucky
11:56 am
Hello Darren!
Mimbo surely is the best magazine theme for WordPress I’ve seen. I installed and began to use your theme without any problems. However, there is one issue I’d like to point out: I cannot figure how to integrate Mimbo with my PunBB installation (1.2.15). Do you have any ideas?

Excellent theme! I’ve been waiting for one like this. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Darren, amazing theme. Thank you for visiting my site to take a look at it too. Cheers!
2:35 pm
Has anyone out there successfully been able to use the default index home as the front page and then create another ‘blog’ page that has all the blog posts? If so, please tell me how to do it, because I’ve tried everything that I know how to do. I am surprised there has been no support for this. You can view my site at 20somethingfinance.com to see what I’m talking about. The home page and the blog page sync up and show the same content, and I don’t want that.
6:05 am
I like it! Thanks!
Great theme

Super theme man
1:57 pm
I keep getting the following error in the sidebar when I view a story… “Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/mrjames/public_html/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 31″. I was just wondering if anybody had the knowledge to help be with this? My footer isn’t showing on this page either. Thanks :)
9:20 am
Thank you for your awesome theme. I use it for my legal agreements site.
8:07 pm
I love this theme. Once I get my head around how to customise, I’m going to be implementing it for sure!
Great work!

That is the Theme I missed all the time. Looks like a lot of work in the next weeks to get my Blogs upgraded mith your great Theme, Darren.
Thank you for your excellent work!

Hello Darren – and All,
I have chosen to implement and personalize Mimbo2.2 on F1Racing.DK – and with great pleasure!
It’s an awesome theme which enabled exactly that magazine layout I’d been looking for. Mimbo is very flexible once it’s in the fingers.
I have definitely been inspired by other creative Mimbo “users” as well – good forum – thanks.
1:48 pm
HI!
Respect for great work. I’m trying to import content from blogger. It went well but when entering posts in More from this category I get list of all entries in that category and as last entry I get this Error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in …/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 31
Help much appreciated!
thanx and keep up with the excellent work!

Pretty nasty MIMBO rip-off theme posted
http://www.der-prinz.com/2008/01/20/wordpress-magazine-style-theme-branfordmagazine
even uses identical images sizes in left and right column. Tab features were probably just copied from the forum.
6:23 pm
Man, thanks, great theme. I needed a lot of time to find a suitable theme for my website and i was very happy when I found this one. You can look what little changes I made: http://www.footballclub.ro

Beautiful design, very intuitive layout and organization. Thanks so much for sharing your template with us.
12:21 am
Wow, I know you posted this awhile ago but I just have to tell you how much I love that theme. I’m switching to WordPress soon and it will be my first WP theme. Thanks :)
4:04 am
Hi all -
Having a great time with this theme, thanks so much. Hoping someone can help debug an IE6/IE7 problem I’m having with it. Here’s the dev URL:
http://dev.crestmontschool.org/admissions/
Works fine in Firefox/Safari. In IE6, the page gets truncated about halfway down. Just stops short. In IE7 it renders, but if you roll over the nav menu, the lower part of the page changes color. Strangest thing. Anyone else seeing this problem with IE? Any suggestions? Thanks.
2:19 am
Found the problem – the wp_footer function call in footer.php invokes some javascript that breaks the layout in IE. Not clear what the code is for – appears to be some kind of traffic tracking program bundled with Mimbo? Weird. Anyway, if this happens to you, just remove the wp_footer() function call and the layout un-breaks.
2:33 am
Coda: Ah… I have the wordpress.com stats plugin installed. What appears to happen is that it inserts tracking javascript when wp_footer is found, and that’s what breaks the layout in IE6.
6:31 pm
Hey Darren, just a quick note to so thankyou so much for offering this as a free theme. I have made a couple of very small modifications for my blog (above) and am really happy with the results so far!
9:11 pm
is it in you?
http://www.thevideogamechampion.com
5:20 am
Hi!
I just want to thank you for developing and sharing this great theme. I’m using it at my new personal homepage since one or two weeks.
It’s easy to use, to alter and nice looking…
There’s only one thing i don’t like – if i put pictures in my posts by editing space-values at the WordPress-WYSIWYG-Editor (e.g. 10px), the values for vspace and hspace are ignored later in the post @ the frontend – the text appears directly next to the imagae – and i have no idea how to fix that.
But besides of that – keep on your great work!
P.S. sorry for my bad english
11:54 am
Love the theme, excellent job well done
3:25 pm
How do I get recent posts on the frontpage instead of “Features” ?
10:11 am
Hello Darren,
I have been exploiting this theme for some time now while at the same time, it’s running on my blogsite.
I have one question though – is it possible to set a default image for the thumbnails according to each categories instead of manually keying in the custom fields each time you create a new post?
I hope you could help me with this, thanks!
4:48 am
Phew! Major customization has finished.
Now I am into minor tweaks on the theme and stuck at this thing. I wanted to change some of the “pages” below the header into “links”. With this I mean that whenever menu is clicked, it will take you to a link e.g. “google.com” instead of opening a page.
Anyone can please help?
2:07 pm
Very good theme. thanks for sharing.
2:10 pm
I will use this theme on my new sport news blog. Thank you.
2:12 pm
Very useful theme. I realy intrested in this template because there is no theme like that including so much columns for each category.
2:14 pm
Soon, I will use this theme in my directory’s blog.
10:08 am
Hi there, just wanted to let you know we customized Mimbo to run our nonprofit theater’s website. Cheers!
2:17 pm
Excellent theme – brilliantly combining menus for WordPress pages AND posts whilst producing dynamic home page and smart easy-to-use layout.
Anyone care to share how to add addiional CSS for another level of page menus – I can produce the third level menu, but I can’t get it to display/hide properly.
9:22 am
respect for you`re work
7:21 am
Hi Darren! Thanks for creating Mimbo, you’ve saved me months of work :D ! I’m trying to customise it so I can use it for my online magazine and so far everything is straightforwards, more or less.
I have a question: I’ve changed the index.php file so that in the “feature” section it now shows the latest post in the entire blog. Now, because in the left and right colums I have the latest post from each category, a duplicate appears when the latest post in the category is also the latest post in the entire blog. Is there any code I can use to avoid this?
Thanks for the very appreciated help!
Best regards from Italy,
Slawka

Thanks in advance!
Slawka
8:19 am
Hi Slawka,
I don’t see any duplicate appearing in you blog.
What is your problem?
8:51 am
Tom, the news in the header is the same as in the bottom news on the left column :(
9:04 am
Hi Slawka,
I think, your problem is here:
// this is where you enter the IDs of which categories you want to display
$display_categories = array(4,8,3,7,6);
You look for in index.php above command. The category number is in array(…). You should delete the category number which is in Lead Story section.
Kind regards,
9:34 am
Hi Tom,
my problem is exactly this, that because I don’t have a specific category going in the features section, I would have to eliminate all categories…
9:57 pm
Love the theme. Is there a way to change the default font size for all of the posts in the style sheets?
Thanks,
Keith
4:52 am
Hi Keith,
You can modify style.css file for changing font size. Please look for below command:
body, select, input, textarea {
font: 112% Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif;
You should change the number after “font”.
Kind regards,
http://www.vietra.net
10:13 am
I am using it. Works pretty good. Hope I do obey to the copyrights properly?

Daniel
Wher in the stylesheet must I alter te parameters for de marging of the images in a single post
8:23 am
First sorry voor calling you Daniel, Darren.
Second I found where I needed to adjust the parameters.
I would like to thank you very much for this very nice theme wich is running like sunshine.

4:31 pm
Please…why isn’t it any single button or link on the top of each article stating: printer friendly output…export this as pdf, tip a friend… that would have been the answere to my quest!
10:44 am
Hi! Great theme Darren!
I used Mimbo as the basic estructure for a new online cultural magazine and from there I started to modify everything.
You can see the results here:
http://www.culturapollensa.com/
4:51 am
Love this theme and am using it to revitalise a site that I have left to stagnate for ages ( http://www.muxton.com ). I am also considering using it for my other site http://ukmac.net that currently uses the Morning After theme.
Cheers
12:28 pm
How do I stop the ‘Features’ and ‘Lead Story’ categories appearing in the sidebar?
10:19 pm
Wonderful theme, however I’m having some issues related to the Category ID. I created Features before Lead Story and the front page displayed oddly (Features shows in place of the Lead Story and vice versa). I deleted the categories and recreated them (rather than wisely simply renaming them). Now they display in correct positions, but the section titles (Lead Story, Features, etc) no longer display at all. Instead they say “No Category”. Any thoughts?
5:06 am
Stephen – you need to edit sidebar.php and change the categories to what you want to see.
Jason – do you have anything IN those categories? If you have no posts assigned to Features or Lead Story, or whatever you have called them it will show “no categories”.
There’s more information on this in the Forum that Darren has set up:
http://www.darrenhoyt.com/forums/mimbo/
And specifically this thread:
http://www.darrenhoyt.com/forums/mimbo/comments.php?DiscussionID=4&page=1#Item_0
Will give you the info you need.

Hi Mr, Darren,
I like your theme Mimbo so much and this is the 3rd time Im using it. However, I am having problem modifying it on my new customization.
When the top menu was clicked, the footer goes on the middle of the page. But only in IE, preferably 7.0 I dont have thats why I cannot test it. Hope you can help me.
See it here: http://www.powerclickz.com/
Thanks
9:26 am
Already solved it. Thanks again for a very nice theme
11:13 am
Hi…
usually I admit I remove the footer links on wordpress themes I download and use, unless obviously I make them myself… but this theme is the first one I feel proud to keep it in there… even though I should have all along. Let’s face it, millions do it.
But i’m thankful for this theme – thank you. Very good, simple, hardly any graphics and looks sweet. Well done! You should do more themes… keep them at this standard.
12:04 am
I’m loving this. Great theme to start. Is this tested already with the latest version 2.5? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your terrific theme! Forgive me for asking such a simple question, but is there any way to enlarge the text on the pages? I’m not great with CSS, but managed to enlarge the heading sizes, but not the rest of the text.
Sorry for asking, but I’ll be using this theme on a WordPress project I’ll be presenting at a conference and it’d be nice to have the text a bit larger so everyone in the audience can read it.
Again, great theme!

Hi,
I’m trying to figure out a way to have several posts of a same category on the right column.
differente categories & several posts of each
i tried editing this line : query_posts(“showposts=1&cat=$category”);
by putting a different number of posts; it works, but the posts get overlapped. the title/excerpts stick to one another.
there’s no dotted line to separate between each post.
if someone can help me out it’ll be great !!
thanks
8:20 am

hello, just a quick!
where can i remove or change those “[...]” endings ?
thanks in advance.
6:30 am
I love this theme!
I do have question – somehow the RSS /feed/ is no longer showing updated posts.
When I view the rss, it still shows the previous posts I had before using the theme, but when I started adding new posts to the new configured theme – my rss is no longer showing the updates – it only shows the old ones. Same happens for comments rss.
Hope you can shed some light on this, not sure how to fix it.
Thanks so much!

Hello, Darren, I have just created ugly, but working WordPress-admin plugin to make easier uploading Post Images, which are used in Custom Fields in your theme on “index.php” page.
I didn’t like to be forced to manually upload files using FTP and then setting all up in WP-ADMIN, so I have decided to create my own little plugin, which allows me to upload and view those images directly from Administration “Manage” Tabs.
Feel free to modify the code and use it in future releases of the theme, if you want to.
If you require some more information, feel free to contact me using the e-mail.
You can download the plugin here:

Absolutely great theme! I’ve modified it a bit to make it suit my needs, which was actually pretty easy to do…
I added a banner, and some things in the sidebar, a fixed background and I made some small changes to the author info and favorites at the bottom of each post.
Thanks for this great theme!

Howdy!
Thanks for your great site and template! Forgive me if you’ve already considered this, but I had an idea for you. Have you tried offering your template to WP.com so that people can use it with WP’s free blogs? I’ve asked them to use the Mimbo Magazine theme, but maybe they’d be more likely to do it if you were to offer it to them? It’d be great publicity for you and (selfishly!) I’d love to be able to use this theme on their site!
Thanks for your time!

12:15 am
Thanks, I have every intention of coming back to it at some point, but I’m not feeling very inspired at the moment. But I agree, the inside pages don’t fit the home page as well as they should. They feel a bit too heavy to me.
3:23 pm
Nice theme!
9:15 pm
hello.
I use this template in this page: http://www.roshanpix.com/blog
It`s PERFECT !
just 1 thing :
is it possible to make mainpage thumbnails and photos (in /images folder) automatically without using ftp programs. I mean is there any plugin which can send this photos to target directory?
and another question that is not related with template. I use NextGN gallery and I have problem with vertical photos thumbnail. It shows vertical photos by a horizontal thumbnail. have you any idea?
would you mind please answer me in my email address?
