Home
Note: This is a completely different theme than the old “Montezuma” theme from 2007/2008.
Montezuma is my second theme for the wordpress.org theme directory.
Montezuma is a responsive, totally customizable, search engine optimized HTML5/CSS3 theme with various CSS3/jQuery animations.
A little bit of HTML/CSS knowledge is recommended, or at least the desire/willingness to read & learn. PHP knowledge is not required. The hard parts of CSS (layout) are taken care of, you just deal with the fun parts (styling).
(If the theme is running a bit slow it is probably due to various theme check plugins running in the background. No need to be concerned about that. Also, my current host is not the fastest.)
Features:
Responsive
Choose from 10 responsive, 5 flexible and 5 static layouts. On resolutions smaller than 960 pixels the drop down menu is transformed into a select menu and some items like avatars are removed.
Edit & create templates online
Montezuma has a virtual file system that lets you edit and create new page templates online in the Montezuma admin area, without the need for uploading files with FTP. The ability to create physical page templates is preserved.
Edit PHP code online
You can use a limited set of about 60 WordPress and Montezuma PHP functions while editing or creating page templates. For full PHP access you can still work the traditional way by editing templates on your desktop computer and uploading them through FTP.
Auto post thumbnails
Cached auto post thumbnails. Looks for a featured image, then an attached image, then a local image URL. External URLs will not be used, for now. Differently sized post thumbs can be used on a per-template basis. TODO. Use WP transients for caching the URLs as well, not just the image creation as such. I have to think a little bit more about a proper expiration of thumb URLs. Will probably end up deleting all cached URLs on each post and attachment edit.
Advanced post excerpts
Set excerpt length and “Read More” link on a per-template basis, instead of having to set it on a site-wide basis.
Advanced nextpage pagination
When you split a post or page with the “nextpage” tag the post parts are linked and numbers ( “1,2,3” ) are used as link text. This is not desirable from a SEO viewpoint. Montezuma lets you replace those numbers with user-defined text. (SEO feature).
Numbered page navigation
Better than the default “Next/Previous” links from both a usability and a SEO viewpoint. Uses core WP functions. No WP-PageNavi plugin needed.
Auto gallery slideshow
Galleries created with the standard WordPress “gallery” shortcode will get a “colorbox” slideshow applied to it automatically. In the HTML source code the gallery thumbs keep linking to the full attachment pages with the big image embedded, so that search engines can spider those (SEO Feature) while users get the quick, convenient slideshow (which can be stopped). TODO: Provide an extra link for users to get to the attachment pages as well, e.g. for leaving comments on individual images.
Seach engine optimized
The included layouts have source ordering built in. Also, some default WordPress markup is removed for a leaner code. Plus see the other features that are tagged with (SEO Feature). Montezuma aims to be compatible with all the popular SEO plugins like “All In One SEO” and Yoast’s SEO. It is not planned to include extensive meta tag related SEO features, those are best left to the proven plugins. The theme will however do many complementary things to improve your SEO score even more.
Quicktag buttons
Adds “Quicktag” buttons above comments form. Uses the included quicktags library from WP in a lightweight way. It was astonishingly easy to integrate this, seeing that there are also full-blown plugins for that.
Google Fonts
Add any Google font(s) through the Montezuma backend. You surf the Google Fonts website, copy a single line of code from there for each font you want, and paste it into a textarea in the Montezuma backend.
Adjust allowed HTML in comments
Add or remove allowed HTML tags for comments. A rather uncommon feature but doesn’t hurt to have I guess.
Adjust meta tags
Add or remove default WP meta tags and links such as “XFN” or “generator”. It is a popular request to remove the “WordPress” meta tag from the document head. In Montezuma you can do this with a check box, along with a couple other meta tags and link elements.
Various CSS3/jQuery animations
Grayscale effect on post thumbs, dual-colored headings, animated link mouse-overs etc…
W3C – valid
WordPress creates some W3C validity issues all by itself (e.g. adding rel=”attachment” to attached images or putting inline style tags right inside DIV’s). Montezuma fixes those so you can pass the W3C test. Although the W3C shouldn’t be taken too seriously many people, especially not so experienced ones, do. Instead of complaining about the W3C Montezuma will fix those issues even if they aren’t really “errors”. I understand that this is easier than explaining to clients what’s wrong with the W3C. Montezuma aims to be 100% W3C valid even if that requires a tiny bit of JavaScript (not needed yet). In a perfect world that might appear to be wrong but there’s already JavaScript all over the place, a little more won’t hurt. 100% valid = no explaining to do.
Streamlines WP menus
WordPress prints different HTML/CSS for the various menus, e.g. the category menu gets no ancestor classes, and both category and page menus have different classes than the custom menus created at Appearance > Menus. Montezuma streamlines the HTML output so you can use the same CSS for all menu types. This keeps the CSS small and makes the wholestyling process easier and more consistent. Montezuma also replaces the WP-provided ID based classes for individual items with more intuitive and semantic slug based CSS classes.
IE8+. No ugly IE6/7 hacks.
I realize that in China IE6 is still going strong so I suggest Atahualpa for IE6 support. Montezuma is compatible with IE8+ and does not support IE6 or IE7 in favor of using all those shiny new CSS3 features. IE7 is at 3% as of Aug 2012 according to hitslink and lower according to others. It should be at 1% sometime in 2013.
Sliders
No sliders yet but they are coming. Galleries already get a “colorbox” slideshow. I will implement a more advanced slider for animating content.
Shortcodes
No shortcodes yet. I do not plan to add silly shortcodes that simply replace basic HTML tags. For those I’ll add CSS classes that will trigger CSS & jQuery actions. Much better I think. For bigger content items I am considering shortcodes but I do not want to create a lock-in effect for you. A plugin is probably better in some if not many cases.
To be continued…
There’s more. I will add to this list and add some screenshots.

You can ignore the previous comment about widgets in the footer area — I found the answer (Yes, you can!) in the forum. Sorry, neglected to look there in the first place.
March 27th, 2013 at 8:17 pm
I have been able to add widget areas to the footer. (works great!) however, I want them to appear side-by-side, rather than “stacked” one on top of the other. Is it possible to do this? (easily? I’m not php savvy.) thanks!

trying to install font squirrel @font face and can not figure out how to make it work.
help is much appreciated
right now it is only working on my computer (font is Espacio) and not on anything I test (my phone and seperate computer)
Hosting thru Blue Host and thought I would be able to upload to a fonts file in theme directory and that is not working…..googled and have not found anything that works…

Hi Chris.
To change the theme color, or any theme color, look for the style.css, within the theme files.
Once you open that file you will want to look for the background color. Should be very simple.
Cheers!

Missing the VCard and Author linking in a post
March 4th, 2013 at 2:35 am
Hey guys,
I am very new to all this and just got my blog on line. I having a few issues:
-I can’t seem to have the “author” on my posts enable even though they are saved in my profile and my “ALL POSTS” sections says that I wrote them.
-My RSS won’t redirect to feedburner AND it says my computer is sending automated queries. I can go to other RSS feed that go to feedburner and I an import feeds from other blogs and have.
-The area where my picture go are too big can I edit the area so my picture fits in the rectangle that is too long?
-I also can’t add links via the link button anymore. The only link I was able to put in doesn’t go anywhere when you click it. ANd that goes for linking to another post I have.
Thanks

Hello,
Fist of all let me just say, this is the best theme I’ve crossed in a while.
Ok, now I have a problem I can not resolve on my own. I know I can make a custom page in montezuma options, so I created new page php file inside montezuma options. The new file is shown, but when I edit the code inside and hit save, it doesn’t save it at all. It just redirects to a front page?
February 6th, 2013 at 11:16 am
Hi,
thats realy good theme, clean and simple.
But i’ll like to change all blue color form this theme to green.

Thanks for any response.

This theme is running fine for me in WP 3.5.1 except for one wordpress warning about a deprecated method: PHP Notice: image_resize is deprecated since version 3.5! Use wp_get_image_editor() instead.
My fix: around line 221 in themes/montezuma/includes/thumb.php
Comment out the current line $new_img_path = wp_get_image_editor( $file_path, $width, $height, $crop );
and add
$image = wp_get_image_editor($file_path);
if ( ! is_wp_error( $image ) ) {
$image->resize( $width, $height, $crop );
$new_image = $image->save( $file_path );
}
$new_img_path = $new_image['path'];

Thanks for the great theme. I have a question about using menu icons. I love that some of the basic widgets are coded to use a unique widget, e.g., recent posts uses the pencil icon. But I have been unable to figure out how to change the default widget icons.
For instance, I’m using a Text/HTML widget to display the About info and would like to use, say, the star icon.
I understand (from the menu icon page) how to use the sprite images in CSS, but don’t know how to have them replace the default icons for widgets. Thanks.

Thanks for this GREAT theme.
One question: When i publish a new blogpost and tick the boxes that it should be in more than one category, in the post itself there is only shown one of the categories. I have looked into the single.php and found the string
In the “montezuma options” the help text states:
Displays a link to the category or categories a post belongs to, with ” · ” as the separator between multiple category names.
But it only shows ONE category, every other category is not shown. Could you please help?

but it doesn’t work. I can put the just
wp_loginout();

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Hi,
I have recently started using your theme for my blog and have to say that its really awesome.!! Really Great Work!!
Just had one question though, WordPress shows 2 positions for menus in your theme, the second one does not seem to reflect on my blog though..?
December 20th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Using Montezuma on a Multi-site install with only a couple of the blogs.
Any template change i make shows up right away, but most of my css changes don’t.
I added a google font and set the h1-h6 font-family. That works and shows up.
However, I also set that font for #sitetitle and #tagline and these changes do NOT show up.
Also, I changed the font-size in all the tag-cloud tagsize-N, and those changes are not showing up either.
I also tried in vain to add followme type buttons to the header in the manner of rsslink. They would show up, but the css changes in various.css did not, so button placement was wrong.
When I do an Export of Montezuma settings, I see my changes, but they are not getting rendered into the displayed page.
Thoughts?
Thanks for this otherwise excellent theme.

It was the least I could do, to appreciate the creators of this form 🙂

Hi there! Thanks for that awesome theme 🙂
I want to create on one of the custom made pages, list of all files in directory.
So… I create Main template based on page and add that code:
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php")
{
$thelist .= ''.$file.'';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

Hi,
I finally found out how to change the menu icons:
Montezuma Options> Using Menu Icons
Copy the css code line
#menu1 .page-birururu > a > i { background-position: 0px 0px; }
Paste it into Montezuma Options> CSS Files> menus_menu1.css> right between the
lines starting with #menu1
change 0px it with whatever number your icon is assigned to and then scroll down to save changes…

Hi, firstly thank you for such a beautiful theme. One of the problems I have is the title of the page has no space between the post title and then the blog’s name! So the about me page looks like – AboutMeBlogName | Blog Name. What should I be looking at to fix this, basically is there any way possible to change the title for the page. Thank you.
November 5th, 2012 at 4:19 am
Interesting theme. Well done. Will certainly try it out on a demo installation.
FYI, when I check theme demo in Firefox 12 on Vista, your Google fonts don’t show up. And on very long title entry single page, the colored image overlaps top WP logo image.
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:17 am
Hello, I would love to use this template for my website and was wondering what it the font style and blue colour used in the titles. I could try to match this on my company name/logo design so that the style does not clash with the rest of the website when I add the logo. Also I would love to be able to reproduce the style and the blue colour in office documents like powerpoint. Would it be possible to find this information out?
Also, I figured out how to change the fonts for the main text body but did not manage to change the font for the header/title. Is this possible??
Many thanks in advance!
November 1st, 2012 at 10:57 am
Just installed the Montezuma theme! is there a way to add my own custom header? Please let me know. Best, M

I have some troubles
1. in preview page link is not active and can not operate the line breaks
2. in preview post, categories are wrong (the post is in two categories, but under the post shows one category which refers not to itself but to another category)
October 21st, 2012 at 7:52 pm
Hi guys! Thanks a lot for a great theme.
I’m having a problem on the category pages. Above the excerpts there’s a count of the number of comments and it reads: “Comments and reactions”. This text is vertical and this is obviously wrong. Screenshot: http://tankesmed.no/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Something-strange-Comments.jpg
Does anyone know how to fix this? (This problem might be related to the Disqus plugin)
October 21st, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Hi there, this template is great. I’m not a coder at all and thought I was being thick because I couldn’t work out the right place in your templates to change the excerpt length. But I see two other peope have asked here so at least if I’m being thick I’m being thick in company. Could you spell it out for us?

September 29th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
It’s very good theme however I found few problems.
1) This theme doesn’t work on WordPress Multisite.
2) The RSS icon in the top right corner goes off the side. Even this problem shows up on your demo site.
Apart from these 2 problem this theme is really a good theme for personal blog.
September 29th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
Just getting started and before I invest too much time, I would like to know how to create a template to show posts from a single category. I have used your to editor copy an existing template called category-somecategoryname.php and then gone back to the page and selected my new template. What else do I need to do to get only the desired category posts to display.
September 27th, 2012 at 12:36 am
Another thing. Your theme doesn’t say who the author was on any posts. We are a multi-author blog and this is pretty important. Is there code I can change to add the author to the post?

daniel, i edited widget.css and added style for normal and hover for the class of each aditional widget..
September 25th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
I’ve figured out a fix for the image feature overlapping the text on Chrome browsers.
Add this css code to your file, (I put mine in posts.css)
.post-thumb a {height: 172px; overflow: hidden;}
If Flynn agrees, or until he suggests a better way, this doesn’t seem to have any adverse effects on IE/Firefox.
Thanks for this great theme by the way.

September 25th, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Hi Flynn. I love the new theme and have been using it, but for some reason the excerpt length isn’t changing when I edit either the function or the theme file (bfa_excerpt_length). Any ideas? Again, thanks!
September 25th, 2012 at 6:27 am
Also, is there a way to change the width of the columns? I would like the middle column (where the posts are) to be wider, thus leaving a little less white space on either side.
Thank you!

2) How can I change some of the colors – Text of post titles, color of stars, etc.?

When I first put my list of requirements for a blogging theme together I had no idea this theme would meet practically ALL of them. That was three weeks ago and I now have happily switched to this.
GRRRR-8 blogging theme. Thank you.
I have a problem though.
In the “Share This:” area where it lists the various social networking icons, the arrows pointing to each icon is partially imbedded in the icon. I have four icons – email, Facebook, Twitter, Diggs and there are FIVE arrows. The first one points to ’email’ then within email is an imbedded arrow as is the case with the other icons.
What, if anything can I do to fix that one glitch?

3. What you choose in “Gallery columns” doesn’t work.

I just installed Montezuma within the last half hour. WP 3.4.2 reports it this theme is broken. When I go to wp-admin/themes.php/ I see the note:
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
montezuma Stylesheet is missing.
Updating the theme doesn’t help, as WP believes it has the latest Montezuma. I can’t undo the install either — can this theme be manually removed, how?
Thanks.

September 17th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Being new to blogging, this is a great site. But there are lots I do not know. Are there any user manual files (I downloaded and activated through WP)? I want to change the background color and I don’t know what the varying templates are in posts (gallery, standard, quote, etc). There are other things too since I am such a newbie to blogging. Thanks for a lovely site!
September 17th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Is there a way to change the background color. I’m hoping to get a linen/beige color so that the white borders around photos shows better.
Also, I downloaded and activated through WP. Are there any ‘user’ manuals/docs to better explain the site. I am not clear on what each of the templates in a post (standard, gallery, quote, etc) as well as other things – just too new.
Thanks for making this easy for a beginner! I love the site so far.
September 17th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Thank you for this beautiful template.
A couple of things are hard to change for me: the alphabetical order in the top menu (I want it to be in any order I like, but I can’t find a way to fix this)? And I would like to have control over the different colors in the headings on top of the page. That would be very nice indeed!

Hi!
1. The thumbnail or featured image overlaps the text if I view the site using Chrome, though they look fine through IE and Firefox. How do I fix it? (I usually use Chrome 🙁 )
2. Is it possible to remove the excerpt (or do further adjustments to it)? I was hoping to have the Read More button to only appear around the part where I placed the “more” tag.
Thanks!

But Unfortunately it didn’t support right to left languages as my language – Arabic.
I tried to put rtl.css in the main folder of the theme, but it didn’t work… I think it’s not good idea to edit the original css files.. I am looking for a way, where I can add a new rtl.css file to customize my theme look. Any help?

Thank you for your reply. I am using WordPress SEO. Based on your reply, I deactivated it, but encountered exactly the same problem. I have not made any editing changes with this theme or, for that matter, any other theme.
The problem probably is linked to some other plug-in, although I don’t have a clue which one it could be.
September 15th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
@Montana:
At Main Templates -> index.php, change this:
[crayon lang=”php”]
< ?php bfa_loop( 'postformat' ); ?>
< ?php bfa_content_nav( 'multinav2' ); ?>
[/crayon]
to this:
[crayon lang=”php”]
< ?php bfa_loop( 'postformat' ); ?>
< ?php bfa_content_nav( 'multinav2' ); ?>
[/crayon]
If you have a look at this, all I did was to switch the two columns. You can edit page.php and single.php in the same fashion, or create new page templates.
If you wanted to have 3 columns, you could do this:
[crayon lang=”php”]
< ?php bfa_content_nav( 'multinav1' ); ?>
< ?php bfa_loop( 'postformat' ); ?>
< ?php bfa_content_nav( 'multinav2' ); ?>
[/crayon]
Note the titles “Widget Area LEFT” and “Widget Area RIGHT” I gave the 2 widget areas in the left and right sidebar. This is how you can create new widget areas. Also note, the “col3” and “col6” and “col3” parts. You can adjust those numbers to give the sidebars different widths. Just make sure each row has a total of 12.
Examples:
col2, col5, col5
col6, col6
col3, col3, col3, col3
etc…
There are many instructions inside the theme options
September 15th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Thank you for sharing this theme. I like this design very much.This theme will be the most useful for me if two sidebars are on the left. May I ask for how to edit for left sidebars? I tried to edit using css but I don’t know at all about css and fail every time after editting.
September 14th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
@raj & @Keith:
Thank you for the kind words
@TheKing:
Temporarily you could do this:
– At Main Templates -> index.php remove this:
[crayon lang=”php”]< ?php bfa_content_nav( 'multinav1' ); ?>[/crayon]
– At CSS Files -> content.css there’s “img.wp-smiley” somewhere halfway down, in the section “Resizing content” (where it doesn’t really fit, I’ll clean up the CSS some more). Add the border:none; part like this:
[crayon lang=”css”]
img.wp-smiley {
display: inline;
border: none;
}
[/crayon]
– At CSS Files -> widgets_menu1_mobile.css put after this line:
[crayon lang=”css”]
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
[/crayon]
this:
[crayon lang=”css”]
a.rsslink {
top: XXpx;
right: XXpx;
}
[/crayon]
with XX being some numerical values.
I will fix all these in the next release within just a few days, including removal of the top nav. I already had in mind removing that, I agree that it’ll look better that way.
@Eric:
Have you edited the postformat.php or other templates? I need to add some more info about which function can be used where (on which template). The function that is causing this is used for the title in the document head. If you have not edited the templates, do you have a SEO related plugin running, and if so, which one?
@Charles:
For the “notify me” you’d need to install the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/ plugin.
I am looking into the other issues
September 14th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
Thanks for a great theme. It is very promising.
Here are my thoughts:
– could I toggle the page navigation? I would like the “1, 2, 3, next” only to be at the bottom of my homepage?
– smiley’s come with a border around the image that is not very cool
– Where can I adjust the length of the excerpts
-on the iPhone the RSS feed logo is covering the name of the blog
but overall the theme looks very nice. I love the default colors and many of the features.
