HomeI am sorry that this took so long, and feel honored that some people were actually waiting for this.
Please note: It is entirely possible that this version 3.0 has errors. It is a complete rewrite. A version 3.1 may have to follow after I collected enough feedback/error reports etc.
Upgrading from Atahualpa 2 or other versions: Atahualpa 3’s directory name is “atahualpa3″ and the option names start with “bfa_ata_”. That means that you can run your existing and this new version of Atahualpa simultaneously. Upload and activate Atahualpa 3 like another, new theme.
In the theme preview screen in the WP admin area Atahualpa 3 may look broken, it works fine “on air” though. I will fix this in 3.1.
At wp262.bytesforall.com and wp27b2.bytesforall.com you can preview the theme but I never intended to change too much on the outside. Use Atahualpa 3 and its 20+ admin pages as a base for your own theme creation.
I opened a forum, too and would like to take the theme discussions over there. Even with threading and paging the comments get confusing. Registration takes only about 20 seconds
Visit the BFA Forum
Version 3.0 has several bugs. See current state. Feel free to download and preview the theme but a fixed version 3.1 is coming Dec 19th 2008
UPDATE: 3.1.7 released - CLICK HERE for the new version
Atahualpa Features:
Atahualpa 3 is a WordPress Theme Framework that mimics the look of Atahualpa 2.2 in its default configuration.
- Works (well) on all popular browsers with at least 0.5% market share, as of Nov 2008, Hitslink Browser Market Share
- FIXED width, FLUID width and HYBRID width (fluid width with min/max width boundaries)
- WP 2.7 ready: Fully working threaded and paged comments
- Drop down menus for pages and categories
- Localized frontend and backend. A atahualpa.pot file is included however no actual translations are included at this time.
- Turn each sidebar on/off based on page type (Home, Category, Page, Single, Archives…), page (ID) or category (ID).
- Valid XHTML Strict, clean, documented code, JavaScript effects degrade gracefully.
- Works well for publishing CODE i.e. with WP Syntax. Code areas get a fluid width and will use all available space but not expand the layout, avoiding horizontal scrollbars as long as possible.
- Handles oversized content very well: Oversized images (oversized for the given growser viewport) get resized and unbreakable strings (extreme long words or other strings without any space) get wrapped - even in fluid layouts. (In Firefox 2 a long string will overflow, in Firefox 3 it’ll wrap if it contains a non-alphanumeric character.)
- 4 custom widgets included: Recent Comments, Popular Posts, Popular Posts In This Cat, Subscribe (NEW)
- Subscribe widget with integrated Feedburner “Subscribe by Email” form
- Over 100 configuration options: Build unique section headings, bylines and footers for posts and pages, configure the site footer, the \”read more\” tag, the next/previous navigation and many more.
- Style every area of the layout with borders, colors, fonts and spaces without ever caring about the not so funny layout related side of CSS.
- HTML/CSS Inserts: Insert code into the website, such as Google Analytics or your own CSS styles, without editing the theme.
- Styled tables, plus zebra stripes and hover effect for rows for all or individual tables.
- Styled form input fields and buttons, plus focus effect and pre-filled text for form fields.
- Header image(s) now optionally clickable, this will add an invisible clickable layer over the image
- All header image effects can be combined (Opacity, Overlayed Blog Title, Clickable)
- Plug & play for the plugins Subscribe to Comments, Paged Comments, LMB Box Comment Quicktags, WP-PageNavi, WP-Email, WP-Print, WP-PostViews and
Sociable. Tested with WP Super Cache, WP Cache 2 and WP-Syntax.
Fixed or improved:
- Menus in the sidebars had an inconsistent look across browsers depending on whether list elements had one link, one link with text or several links (recent comments).
- Almost all CSS styles in an external file now and not in header.php anymore
- Less files: No page.php, single.php, archives.php, archive.php, search.php, sidebar.php, sidebar2.php etc… Almost everything is in index.php now for easier maintenance.
Credits:
- Most included favicons and icons were made of the Nuvola Icon Set of David Vignoni aka Icon King and the Silk Icon Set of Mark James aka FamFamFam
- The drop down menus are modified versions of Ruthsarian’s cross-browser rmenu
- Various effects and the IE6 image max-width fix were made with jQuery

Atahualpa is simply the best Premium Wordpress Themes out there. Actually I’m originally planning to buy Frugal or Thesis, but then I tried this first. Now, I finally decided, I really don’t have to buy those nasty expensive themes. Will stick on this one!!! Thank you very very very very very much!!!! It’s just awesome dude.

I want to thank you for such a beautiful and flexible template. I am a complete newbie at these new types of web design (my experience ended back in the static html days) I will donate a small amount when I can however I would also like to add a thank you on our technology page. I would like it to include a small image, your prefer link and a blurb about your product offerings. Underneath I will include my testimonial. If you have a preference about what you would like this to look like please email me. I am offering this to all of the freeware developers who offer their fabulous products since our non-profit organization is unable to make much of a donation. You are also welcome to link to our site as an example of how your product is being used. Information is still being added but it is live

I noticed that the tables in the catagories are not displaying right. I really like the theme but I need the tables. They display great in the home page and on the page itself, but is just a list in the catagories.

I’d like to add an image next to my blog title. Default image was a 3 coloured boxes. I took that out. Where do I upload my image to and how do I pull it into my header?
thanks.

Hi,new to this theme and wordpress. How do I get the twitter, facebook, and linkedin icons in the atahualpa theme? I want them at the top of the left sidebar. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I use Atahualpa for a long time. Now I updated to 3.3.2 and have some problems.
- I’ve set Category Menu Bar / Depth of Category Menu Bar to 1 as I want just top categorise to show up in category list, but I stil get all categories (full depth)
- By default, theme doe snot allow comments on pages, and indeed even pages that do have comments do not show them. If I set template to show comment it then shows comments on all pages, including new comment field. Pages do have flag which specifies if page should have comments or not. I want comments to be allowed only on pages I set them to. I’ve looked into theme source and it seems to simply ignores specific settings for pages. It should obey specific setting for each page.
- in old version if widget has empty title, title did not show at all. Now, even if title is empty, it is shown thus making empty space above widget
- i have custom widget that shows some links. In old version links were looking the same as any other link in sidebars. In new version, links do not look right, they have default list items look.
- I want to move RSS feed link in top right corner of the page (aligned at the same level as top menu, but I cannot find out how. This theme is not organized in usual maner as other themes are (and how old version of Aatahualpa was organized).

Hello~
I love Wasteland, but LOVE this Atahaulpa, it is phenomenal! It will seriously blow your mind when you see how wonderful this layout is…and sooooooooooooooo easy! It even has rotating headers!!! This is a copy of an email I sent to all my WP friends~! I would love to know how to change out the headers and put my custom ones in though. Can you help me with that?

Hi there.
I am really loving the Atahualpa theme for all its flexibility. I see the theme as options for editing tables - i just can’t figure out how to insert a table into my posts/pageas, which i can then style using the Atahualpa table theme options.
I am trying to layout a whole page full of images by inserting them into a table.
Help would be great!

Windows thinks it’s a Powerpoint file but it has nothing to do with that. You’ll need the PoEdit software, also see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=82

how can i edit pot file? (its not power point file)…
February 17th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
@yair: 38
A atahualpa.pot should be included in the newer versions 3.x but you might want to wait for 3.2.1 which will have a 100% localized frontend which 3.2 hasn’t

Try www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/
You probably have no “Meta” widget in any of the sidebars, and the other theme probably had an admin link in the footer or somewhere else (something you can add in Atahualpa, too: Site Admin -> Presentation -> Atahualpa Theme Options -> Footer. Or, add the “Meta” widget to a sidebar, at Site Admin -> Presentation -> Widgets)

Newbie problem - experimenting with WP themes and changed from wp-themes_magazines to atahualpa …. and now cannot find the meta “admin” link. Help!

Hi - Just wanted to say that I just updated PageMash to version 1.2.0, and… it has an option for showing or hiding subpages! Works like a charm on version 3 of Atahualpa (haven’t had a chance to upgrade to 3.17 yet.)
Very cool!

Hi,
first i would like to say thank you for this flexible theme. it’s just great.
how can i change the size of posts/pages titles, also how to change the size of widget titles.
any help appreciated
December 20th, 2008 at 1:21 am
@petya: Neither WordPress nor Atahualpa offer this feature at the moment but there is a widget that should be able to do that http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flexi-pages-widget/
