Wordpress.com Theme Repository

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Want to quickly populate your WPMU site with the themes from wordpress.com?

Here: http://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes/

You might need to make some small changes to get it working on your site: I had to create an empty avatar_by_id function and put it in my wp-config.php file.

You might also want to replace all reference to wordpress.com with references to your site.

Theme Toolkit for Wordpress MU

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Ozh’s Theme Toolkit allows theme authors to easily incorporate an admin menu in their themes to facilitate user customisation. It does not work too well out of the box with Wordpress MU, displaying some undesirable behaviour like the menus persisting to appear despite the user having chosen another theme. This version has been modified to work with Wordpress MU and has been tested on the r542 nightly.

Simply replace the existing themetoolkit.php with the one in the archive in all your themes (or use symbolic links if you want).

Widgets as an ‘mu-plugin’ on Wordpress MU

Friday, April 7th, 2006

The widgets code has been released for public consumption as a Wordpress plugin and appears to work out of the box for Wordpress MU. However, this would still require a user to ‘activate’ the plugin before use as opposed to on wordpress.com where the plugin is enabled site-wide. This is relatively simple to achieve and involves the following steps:

  1. Copy the widgets directory and everything in it to /wp-inst/wp-content/mu-plugins/.
  2. Download widgets.txt, rename it to widgets.php, and copy it to /wp-inst/wp-content/mu-plugins/ (not in the widgets directory).
