Version 1.1 has been updated to the WordPress.com version.
This version no longer contains automatic image framing, or a photoblog template, so if you wish to continue using these features, please use version 1.0.3.
Changes:
- Layout updates and fixes
- Fixed deprecated function calls and PHP errors
- Code cleanup to match WordPress theme style guide: spacing, syntax, comments, package description
- Added author comment highlighting
- Added support for empty post title and styles for all heading sizes
- Fixed bugs with theme options menus
- Simplified custom functions and removed unneeded theme options
- Remove custom header image support and use default WP header image functionality instead
- Added image.php template
- Added RTL language support
- Changed post timestamp to use the WordPress global date format
- Remove unused template files
- Implement WordPress 3.0 features: Custom Menu, comment_form()
- Added default WP style support: body_class(), post_class(), comment_class() and remove unneeded definition for EG_BODY_CLASS
- Removed unneeded function_exists() calls
- Simplified image display: no frames or photoblog page
- Nicer typography and updated grunge images for sticky posts, trackbacks, and new date format
- Styles for sticky posts
- Added newer/older single post navigation links
- Better class attributes to avoid collision with WP default classes (author, post, date, etc)
- Remove sidebar logic check in every template (once in sidebar.php instead)
Note: If you have problems with this theme, please post your question at the WordPress forums. Please don’t contact me directly, as I don’t have the resources to help you.

Hi
I wondered if the images are copyright? Can I use the heart shaped Love God in the sand on my church webpage for free if possible please?
I’m afraid I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, David =) Are you sure you’re commenting on the right website?
Nice theme look like Portal. I prefer wordpress theme from themeforest community
Really clean website , thankyou for this post.
Looks really neat. Nice to know you come out with such outstanding works. Keep up the good work.
Hi Michael, I’m not sure if you’re still checking these, but I thought it was worth a try. First of all, thanks for the great theme – we really love it. I’ve searched high and low for this answer, but somehow it still is alluding me. We just want to display comments on the home page vs the “4 Comments” link. Basically, remove the link and show comments by default. Any thoughts as to how to do this? Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Katie
Hi there. =3 I was wondering if you had a cPanel and/or phpMyAdmin? There’s something I wanted to do with the template, but I can’t do it without a cPanel. =(
Is there anything special I have to do to create a child theme of elegant grunge? I am trying to create one, but if I don’t include a copy of /inc/theme-options.php in my child theme directory I get a 500 Internal Server error, and the CSS @import won’t work to include the theme stylesheet within my own.
I am trying this both on my live site and my local machine. Previously I had just changed the theme CSS and that worked but I wanted to do it the correct way.
Any tips would be a big help!
Don’t want to be a bother, but when you try to create a child theme based on this theme, it shows a blank white screen and spits out PHP errors. Could you advise on the proper way to create a child theme?
Thanks!
Fantastic article:D Going to need a decent length of time take into consideration this blog!!
