Last year when we were redeveloping a blog for a client, we came up with this WineBlog WordPress theme.

The theme is especially suitable for people who only every now and then upload images to their posts. On the homepage it shows excerpts of all posts and you will see that whether there is an image or not, the excerpt still looks good.

And because the use of custom fields for showing images on home pages is on its return already, we have hard-coded the image grabbing and thumbnail publishing into the theme.

The reason that we have called this WordPress theme WineBlog is because we developed it as a wine blog, the header picture is of a vineyard and we have integrated a widget of Adegga.com in the sidebar.

Installing

Installing the WineBlog WordPress theme is the same as installing any other theme.

  • Unzip the downloaded file
  • Just (S)FTP the entire theme directory to wp-content/themes/
  • Activate the theme under Appearance –> Themes in your Dashboard

Use

Before you can take this WordPress theme for a spin, there are a couple of things you need to do, which we have all explained in detail in the readme.txt file that is included in the zip-file. It is best when you’re comfortable editing the theme template files in your favorite text editor or with the built-in theme editor.
Also make sure that you install the following plugins, not included in the zipped theme files:
