Introducing ProSense: An Adsense Ready SEO Wordpress Theme

prosense-adsense-ready-seo-wordpress-theme.gifI am pleased to announce the release of Prosense, an Adsense Ready SEO Wordpress theme that is jointly designed by myself and Daniel from The Wrong Advices. A clean looking theme that reeks of professionalism and style, ProSense is created with optimal monetization, web usability and search engines in mind.

This fast loading and easily customizable theme is built to accommodate heavy contextual ad monetization: Its very infrastructure is designed to direct maximum attention to Adsense ads while preserving as much focus as possible on your blog content.

Featuring built-in ad units with optimized placement and blending, ProSense’s broad design scheme makes it easily suitable for a wide variety of niche topics or content types.

A Guide to the Prosense Theme Features

Prosense was created with the aim of including several features which we knew most bloggers would find useful. One of these is the freedom to choose which type of ad units should be automatically displayed.

While designed to effortlessly incorporate a large amount of Adsense ads, ProSense allows you to have complete control over the amount of ads displayed and therefore is even suitable for bloggers who are not seeking to heavily monetize their blogs.

Here are some of the theme features, some of which are currently exclusive to ProSense:

  • Separate and Distinct Ad Blocks. The use of distinct theme files for ad codes allows for easy editing and insertion of Adsense units. These ad blocks can also be used to insert other types of advertisements as well and are not solely limited to Adsense use.

  • Multiple Ad Display Options. Unlike other Adsense Ready themes, ProSense allows you to choose between either banner or rectangle ads for the single post page, thus allowing you more flexibility when it comes to ad blending.

  • Hassle-free convenience and ease of use. You’ll only have to insert your Adsense publisher ID in the default ad units and you’re done. It should only take a minute or two to set up ProSense perfectly.

  • Integrated Ad placement on the homepage. Unlike most Adsense ready themes currently available, ProSense blends a 468 x 60 banner unit between the second and third post on the blog homepage.

    This enables you to display relevant ads to search visitors who arrive at your homepage, as they are more likely to scroll and scan through your posts.The inclusion of a well-blended horizontal link unit near the top of the homepage also attracts navigational-style visitor clicks.


  • Highly Optimized Ad units on post pages. There are two types of ad blocks on both the top and bottom of the single post page. You can choose between using a 468 x 60 banner and 300 x 250 rectangle at the top of the post or a 468 x 60 banner and 336 x 280 large rectangle at the bottom of the post.

    The ability to designate and match different ad units is exclusive to ProSense and is currently not available for other Adsense Ready themes.


  • Pre-blended Adsense unit colors. All Adsense unit colors are tweaked to match the blog’s link and background colors. There is absolutely no need for you to spend time picking the appropriate ad colors.

  • Search Engine Optimized site structure. ProSense is built from good, clean code that validates well. The CSS positioning is written so that your blog content is prioritized in the source code as this may help to improve search engine crawling and ranking. Dynamic and descriptive title tags are also used for each blog page.

  • Compatible with Wordpress 2.0+. ProSense has been tested with the latest 2.2 Getz version of Wordpress and no problems were experienced.

  • Widget-Ready. If you’re a widget lover, you’ll be happy to know that Prosense allows you to easily install and use widgets to complement your content and advertising scheme.

Important User Notes

Please remember to change the Publisher ID for the default Adsense units after you upload the theme! You’ll need to insert your personal Adsense publisher id (e.g. pub-xxxxxx) in the various Adsense units that you decide to use.

All the ad units are found in the following theme files:

Single Post Pages:

  • adsense_singlepost_top_square.php – 300 x 250 Medium Rectangle
  • adsense_singlepost_top_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner
  • adsense_singlepost_bottom_square.php – 336 x 280 Rectangle
  • adsense_singlepost_bottom_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner

Homepage:

  • adsense_sidebar.php – 160 x 600 Skyscraper
  • adsense_homepage_linkunit.php – 468×15_4 Link Unit
  • adsense_homepage_banner.php – 468 x 60 Skyscraper


Alternate Color Schemes for ProSense

For those you would prefer a different color scheme, we’ve also provided Prosense in a clean blue or gray color combination so feel free to download these versions if they find them more to your liking.

  • Looks good Maki! I might use this in the future for developing my niche domains.

  • Very good ad placement and blending! Nice one…

  • Cool, thanks for sharing Maki

  • Hey Maki,

    This looks great, very nice and clean. We were just looking for a new theme for a new blog we’re launching.

    Thanks!

    Have an awesome day!
    Dan & Jennifer

  • looks nice.

  • Maki,
    I like the template, just I need more widget to be included such summary page, translation page, social bookmarking.. can you include all those too? I will definite downloaded.. Thank you

  • You and Dan did a great job. Looks good. And looks like it will be effective.

  • I’ve been looking for a new theme, and this is great. Thanks!

    Best wishes

    Angela

  • Great theme! One thing though. I uplaoded it to me WP and made it the current theme, but the dark header and footer are not showing. I can’t see them in the Demo page either. Any ideas?

    Oh, turns out I can see it on IE. The problem is on FireFox.

  • Putting Big Square units and Sidebar will distract users. Bes is to separate out adunits with some reasonable distance. Sidebars doesnt yield so much of money unless they are laid around the content. Best is to push them down the line and arranged along with the content. But then this will work for long posts.

    The best part is the blending option. Very well made.

  • Pbanker on May 18th, 2007

    i like it! any possibility of releasing a blue themed version?

  • Maki on May 18th, 2007

    Ashish,

    As I’ve mentioned in the post.. you don’t have to put up the square or sidebar units if you don’t want to. You can just leave the theme files for the ad codes empty and nothing will show up. Or you can choose to use the less obtrusive banner ads, which blend quite well with the content as well.

    Pbanker,

    It won’t be too difficult to create with a blue version of the theme. I’ll see what I can come up with :)

    Tien

    I’ve just tested the theme with a blog on both Firefox and IE. The brown header and footer do show up like the demo. Could you let me know what exactly is not working for you at the moment?

  • Nice clean design. Of course since the color fits in with my blog’s name, this theme is very tempting.

  • Hi

    Nice theme, but I would definitely remove the sidebar unit from the default theme, as it will improve the overall CPM of the site because of Google Smart Pricing.

    I would also use blue links rather than orange as these always work better.

    EB

  • Good!.. Its a much needed break from the all pervasive TypoXP Reloaded! ;)

  • Good!.. Its a much needed break from the all pervasive TypoXP Reloaded! ;)

    If it ain’t broke….

  • thanks for your effort! I am using it now :)

  • Everton – May 18th, 2007 at
    If it ain’t broke….

    It definitely not!. Just that it is breeding too many.

  • true- there are even variants of it now

  • Pretty cool theme! Thanks for the effort you put into this..

  • Looks like a great theme. I’m sure I’ll use it for future projects!

  • simple and clean.

  • Wow. At what point do we officially change the name from the internet to the Makinet? ;-)

    Good work, very impressed.

  • Dan and you have done a good job. This is will reduce my effort of putting the Adsense block around my site ;-) Neat and professional look, not yet another MFA template. Really cool!

  • Maki on May 18th, 2007

    Everton,

    Thanks for your suggestions. A blue version of the theme will be coming out soon, so hopefully that’ll satisfy some users who prefer the proverbial blue when it comes to hypertext links.

    I’ve included the default sidebar ads just in case users don’t want to use the in-content square. I’ve already seen some users only keeping the sidebar ads because they aren’t ready to monetize aggressively. ^-^

  • nice… thanks for sharing. this a very useful theme.

  • G’day Maki,

    Another crackingly good theme, mate!

    Can you let me know when you have the blue-links theme available? Cheers!

  • Maki – I love this theme and uploaded it for a holiday blog I’ve neglected – it works great – easy to set up and definitely search engine friendly which is hard to find.

    Will be spreading the news :-)

  • I really like this but I’d like to see the standard WP search box replaced w/ the google adsense one. I do so well off of that.

  • Maki on May 19th, 2007

    Mike,

    I’ve thought of including an Adsense search box but decided to stick with the default one for now. I’ll see if Daniel and I can come up with a widget for the Google Adsense searchbox in the next few theme updates.

  • Thanks Maki. This inspired me to come up with a version that I could use for my blog and was clean and not cluttered.

    I spent a good 4hrs yesterday and its active now at Online Presence — http://OnlinePresence.BlogSailor.com/

  • Yes, what about different colors, or changing the colors?

  • Thanks, added this theme to my site; I gave it a blueish color scheme – if you want, you can check it out on my website and tell me how do you like it.

  • Cool new theme Maki – I am looking forward to the new color scheme. It would be great if you could make the color changes internal to the theme via the plug-in menu, so that folks don’t have to go in and monkey with the CSS code.

  • I use this theme on my blog. I made small changes, changed RSS button and color scheme. Look at :

    http://www.drdrksa.info/wordpress-prosense-seo-theme/

  • Dusan, I like it. :) I’m thinking of changing the color as well….if I can figure it out.

    Thanks for the downloads Maki.

  • Chuck on May 23rd, 2007

    Every party needs a pooper.

    If you create a version where we can replace the adsense with ads for an information product of our own, then we can:
    - Keep 100% of the profits
    - Have 100% appropriate ads
    - Have text in the ad area that helps with ranking instead of hurting it.
    - Build our own customer list that we can re-sell to “forever” instead of somebody else’s list.

  • Maki on May 23rd, 2007

    Chuck,

    Actually you can just remove all the Adsense codes in the theme files and insert your own ads and promotional schemes, they will show up in exactly the same spot as the Adsense ads. The theme was built for monetization via Adsense but its flexible enough to accommodate other monetization methods. :)

  • Hi Dosh Dosh, I’m trying to download Prosense but it says that the account is suspended?

  • Same here Dosh Dosh. Can you provide a secondary download link until the problem is solved with that servage account? Thx!

  • I can’t download it either

  • Maki on May 24th, 2007

    Petra, TechLemming and Doris

    Apologies for the download error. It’s been fixed and you can download the themes now. ^-^

    The demo URL is not working at the moment but I’m working to get a fix on that ASAP.

  • It’s working. Thank you :)

  • I hope Dan paid his webhosting bill. LOL! :D

  • Looks great! Have put in. Changed pub_id

    works well. Thanks a lot. I can see a lot of thought went into this.

  • LOL Maki, you must have sent your pal Daniel a ton of traffic til his account got suspended…

    http://thewrongadvices.com/ProSense/

    “Account Suspended
    The account owner has been informed regarding this – in case of questions kindly open a support ticket via the control panel.”

    I thought Servage had a lot of bandwidth capacity..according to their marketing. :)

  • Anyways, just downloaded it from your site link. Thanks alot!!

  • Maki on May 24th, 2007

    Hey Darrin,

    The demo URL will probably be up in a few hours time. Daniel’s site got dugg pretty heavily yesterday and that’s the reason for the outage at his end. ^-^

    Thanks for using the theme!

  • Excellent design and layout. I was looking to create another site and I’m planning on using this theme. Thanks for the help! – Mike

  • Hello, it seems the demo link isn’t working!
    But congrats and thanks for such a wonderful theme…its amazing!!

  • Awesome theme – I’m glad I found it. I will be using it on a future blog.

  • Looks like a typo left in for the archives title?

    ./sidebar.php: <li><h2>Archives fs fds fsd sdf d</h2>

  • lanmonkey on May 27th, 2007

    if you want your pages to validate on w3c.org then edit the file searchform.php and remove the at the end

  • lanmonkey on May 27th, 2007

    anyway, let me write this out again

    I have noticed another problem, if you got to OPTIONS > READING > FRONT PAGE and change the default front page of the site from “your latase posts” to “a static front page” this theme does not see a static page as the front page and the links and metat are not show in the sidebar (sidebar.php)

  • Maki on May 27th, 2007

    Thanks Ianmonkey and James,

    I’ll look into your suggestions and come up with a fix soon.

  • Hi,
    I have installed this theme, but when I try to setup an RSS feed with feedburner I get this error:

    did not return a proper response

    Anyone know why this would happen?

    thanks

  • brazz on May 29th, 2007

    Hi,
    I loved the theme, was about to use it.
    However, I don’t know what the color scheme (of the blue version) is, and I have no knowledge do find it.
    Suggestion: create a variable to just change the adsense code, and keep everything as it is.
    You would still gain the link back, right?
    Thanks,

  • Maki on May 29th, 2007

    Hi Brazz,

    Sorry but I’m not quite sure what you mean. Perhaps you could send me an email and I’ll attend to you directly? You can do this by visiting the ‘Contact’ page on the right sidebar. Hope this helps.

  • Hi!

    First, I’d like to say that you’ve done a fine job with your Prosense theme. Looks great! Thanx!

    I’ve set it up and most eveything is fine right out of the box. BUT … I have an issue with the right sidebar – the content is way down from the top. It only does that with IE not FF.

    I also noticed that when there is NO Adsense code in Left Sidebar this isn’t an issue. Only when there is AdSense code or other banner code in left sidebar that the contenet in right sidebar is pushed way down from top.

    Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?

    Thanx!

    Rick Wilson

  • Rick, my guess would be that the Adsense code is too wide for the column.

  • Thanx for the response, WebStractions!

    But that wasn’t it. I’m not that good with CSS (just enough to be dangerous) but I played around with the left sidebar width in the stylesheet and lowered it from 185px to 180px. VOLIA! No more issue! Everything fits now in both sidebars. LOL

    I really do need to learn more about site design. heh heh

    Rick Wilson

  • Maki on May 31st, 2007

    Hi Rick,

    Glad you got the issue resolved. I checked out your website and it looks great!

    Thanks WebStractions for offering some advice as well :)

  • I had the same problem when trying to float two columns that were wider than the container they were in. I scratched my head for a couple of hours on that one.

  • Hi Maki.. I don’t know why the Archive column has some funny text after the word “archive” .. wondering if you can advise on that:
    http://travel.dorischua.com/
    Thanks.

  • Maki on June 2nd, 2007

    Hi Doris,

    That was some typos made while testing the theme. The ‘Archive’ section for all the ProSense themes have been fixed and you can download any one of them again. Sorry for the inconvenience. ^-^

  • Tetris on June 2nd, 2007

    Great theme!

    How do I add in a search button one must click instead of having solely a search box?

    Also, do you recommend any good plug-ins?

    Thanks!

  • Tetris on June 2nd, 2007

    1 more thing…how do i get rid of the adsense column..and make it only 2 columns?

  • Maki
    This is wierd, When I looke at the template with ffox its all good but if you take a look of the template in IE then you will see there is a gap on the left window

  • Hi,

    Im using this theme, however I have a small issue, the adsense adverts on the home page arnt really relevant to my content at all. It seems to be pulling ads related to wordpress, rss, blogs etc.

    Any ideas?

  • your keywords are probably wrong and also part of the name is same OR you did not setup channels

  • recently, i intend to remove adsense from certain blog post, but not all the other posts. Maki, what do you suggest me to do to achieve this? I love your theme & certainly use it for a long time. Thanks for the hard work.

  • Maki on June 11th, 2007

    KCLau,

    I would suggest removing Adsense entirely from the ad blocks in ProSense and then manually inserting the Adsense code in specific posts using a Wordpress plugin like Adsense-Deluxe. This is the only solution if you plan to remove adsense from certain posts but not others.

  • Thanks Maki. I think I would have to do that manually.

  • Thanks for Sharing Such a wonderful template!

  • That looks very well done indeed; I’ve been working on a template myself for use on multiple sites, and while I’ve had a good result with SEO, I’ve not done so well with CTR.
    I might try your template for a day and see if it helps!
    Regards
    - rich

  • Thanks, Maki, and Dan,

    Am going to try it on my first ever adsense project..haha

  • I want ask on June 14th, 2007

    Hi,

    Anyone tell me :a page adress to free download template which design similar page doshdosh.com

    thanks

  • darin on June 14th, 2007

    How does the user get back to the Home page after reading a blog entry? My previous theme had a Home link always available but I don’t see one for this theme.

  • Maki on June 15th, 2007

    Darin,

    We didn’t build this theme with a Home button so the only way to go back to the homepage is to click on the blog title. Most web users are familiar with this convention but we will take your suggestion into consideration for future themes. Hope this helps!

  • So after putting off what was bound to happen, I made the move today from Blogger to WP for one of my blogs and decided to use this theme, which I’ve been keen on since originally seeing it when it was launched.

    After a half hour or so of tweaking the theme to how I wanted it, changing the adsense codes and testing it, I set out to move 11,005 total posts from blogger to WP.

    The transfer is almost done, the site is resolving the new site now, and everything is working better then I would have thought.

    To see the changes I’ve made check out http://www.iLikeCheapStuff.com

    Details including the header / footer color changes, pulling out the color from block quotes and unordered lists, removing some adsense, adding some other affiliate links, changing RSS logos and making a custom 404 page to include the google adsense search option, I’m very happy with the results. I plan on tweaking the text in the title tomorrow after some sleep, but wanted to thank everyone at DoshDosh for releasing this.

  • After i upload and extract it, why i can’t see it in Presentation panel on wordpress??

  • i’m having the same issue

  • Maki on June 16th, 2007

    Mike,

    Thanks for letting us know about your changes. Just wanted to that the theme is distributed through a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareALike 3.0 License and we would prefer it if designer attribution/credit was kept in some way.

  • Drnubian on June 16th, 2007

    I uploaded it, and its not showing up under my available themes

  • Maki on June 16th, 2007

    Drnubian,

    I have no idea why that’s happening. It works for everyone else. Make sure you upload it to wp-content/themes/Prosense.

  • Drnubian on June 17th, 2007

    Thanks, do I have to change any other settings after this?

  • Drnubian on June 17th, 2007

    ok figured it out now , thanks :-)

  • Hi Maki, I’m a newbie installing my first WP hosted blog using your theme, and I am struggling a bit to make things work that may be obvious, but not to me! I’ve tried google to no avail. First, to actually get Adense in my posts, what do I need to do? Do I need to use a plug in for this? I know that I have the theme files for them, just not sure what to DO with them! Thanks so much!

  • Gianluca on June 17th, 2007

    Would it be possible to enable comment also on “Pages” ?

    How-To ? I suppose i should insert some code in the single page template file… Any help really appreciated.

    Thanks :-)

  • To Johny and Dnurbia. It works.
    see at my blog at http://www.freelearnjapanese.com
    first, i extract prosense-gray.zip on my computer
    after that I rename the folder that extracted become “ProSense” not prosense-gray anymore.

    [code](I don't know wheter it's case sensitive or not, but i uploaded it to my web which before of it already have "prosense" folder but it didn't replace it)[/code]

    After that, I zip it again to other name : “ProSense”
    then, I upload it on folder themes like usual.
    and now, it comes on my Presentation Panel.

    Just try and see if it’s work
    Well,it’s work for me on my web : http://www.freelearnjapanese.com

  • Gianluca on June 18th, 2007

    Ok, as i’ve come across some solutions, i think it would be fair to share them:

    Enable commenting on *some* static pages :

    In “page.php”, just after “Edit this Entry” part, you add this code :

    >>>>>php if ( get_post_custom_values(‘comments’) ) comments_template()>>>>>php include(‘adsense_xxxxxxxxxx.php’)>>>>php if ( get_post_custom_values(‘enable-adsense’) ) include(‘adsense_xxxxxxxxxx.php’)

  • I like the prosense theme. I am a newbie and having trouble changing the adsense ID. Can you tell me how to do this. I went into theme editor but the adsense ID would not change.

  • @Amanda:
    it’s simple. as long as you have the access to your hosting panel. (I am using Cpanel)

    Via you Hosting Panel, open to the directory of your theme.
    There will be a file like this :
    [code]
    adsense_homepage_banner.php
    adsense_homepage_linkunit.php
    adsense_sidebar.php
    adsense_singlepost_bottom_banner.php
    adsense_singlepost_bottom_square.php
    adsense_singlepost_top_banner.php
    adsense_singlepost_top_square.php
    [/code]

    edit each of the file and change this line :
    [code]
    google_ad_client = "pub-301543998366xxxx";[/code]
    change only pub-301543998366xxxx with your adsense id.
    You can find it on google adsense, my account.

  • I’ve loved the ProSense template from the beginning but can’t seem to figure out why it went screwy on when the front posts are showing – when it’s on single or page it looks fine but not on the front page. The side bar moved and I can’t find anyone to tell me what went wrong or how to fix it.

    I’ve uploaded the original theme without any success in fixing this problem.

    Help?

  • Hey Tammy, I came across this problem also where it messed up all on the frontpage it was because i had embedded a video that was larger than the width of the column. On the single post pages it was fine but on the front it was not. Check over your templates for items – widgets / videos / images that may push the width of a column to far.

    Hope this helps you.

  • Oh, my goodness! Thank you – it wasn’t a video it was an amazon code for a book believe it or not. When I took the code out of that post – everything went back the way it was supposed to me. UGH! All that time

    Thanks again.

  • Maki on June 18th, 2007

    @Gianluca,

    Sorry for the late reply. If you want to enable comments on Pages, you simply need to tick the ‘Comments’ and ‘Pings’ boxes under the ‘Discussion’ Tab in the right sidebar, when you are on the ‘Write Page’ section of the Dashboard. Is this what you are looking for?

    @neomaster

    Thanks for sharing your tips with Amanda. Hopefully, this should be enough.

    @Amanda

    Please feel free to let us know if you’re still unable to change the Adsense ID.

    @probloggermom

    First of all you’ll need to go to your ‘Theme Editor’ .. on the right side of the theme box are the following themes. Some of them are cut off by the edge of the screen but you should be roughly be able to determine which ad is within each theme file. Click on each of the following files and then change them by inserting your Adsense pub id in this part of the code —>pub-xxxxxx

    adsense_singlepost_top_square.php – 300 x 250 Medium Rectangle
    adsense_singlepost_top_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner
    adsense_singlepost_bottom_square.php – 336 x 280 Rectangle
    adsense_singlepost_bottom_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner
    adsense_sidebar.php – 160 x 600 Skyscraper
    adsense_homepage_linkunit.php – 468×15_4 Link Unit
    adsense_homepage_banner.php – 468 x 60 Skyscraper

    You don’t need a plugin to insert Adsense into the posts. Do let me know if you’re still stuck and I’ll try to help. :)

    @Tammy

    When that happens, its usually because some code on the sidebars is causing it to go under the posts. Try removing your social widgets and see if that works. Or perhaps you could move them over to the rightmost sidebar to see if it works ok as well. Also.. when did this happen? Was it like this all the while or did it happen only after you’ve inserted some code onto your sidebars?

    Let me know me know if it doesn’t work again and I’ll take a more detailed check on your site.

  • Maki on June 18th, 2007

    Hey Chris,

    Just wanted to say thanks for helping out Tammy with the sidebar issue. Much appreciated. :)

  • No problem Maki. Just showing appreciation for the blog and the template as i use in one of my dare to say it.. splogs.

    Checkout my blog when you got a spare couple of minutes i’d love some pointers.

  • Hi Maki, thanks for responding. Yes, I’ve changed the publisher ID’s already. Guess I’m just not sure how to use the code? Do I cut and paste it into my posts? Or is there some place I need to “turn it on” to automatically have it placed in my posts? Like I said, it’s probably something very simple, just want to make sure I’m doing it the “correct” way! Thanks again!

  • BTW, I’d love to have the option to have a sidebar on either side also. I saw it mentioned above in another post and just wanted to put in another vote for that feature in the future! ;-)

  • OK, I got it! When I look at my home page the ads are not there. When I click on the post itself, they show up. See, I knew it was something simple I was just not getting! Thanks for letting me talk this out to myself and hopefully someone else will learn from it.

  • Maki on June 19th, 2007

    Hi probloggermom,

    Just checked out your site and I must say the theme looks great there! I like how you’ve changed the colors.. The ads appear to be showing on both the homepage and single post pages and nope, you don’t have to turn anything ‘on’ for the ads to show correctly. It seems that you’ve correctly changed the Adsense id as well so I guess you’re all set.

    All the best and I hope the theme helps to bring you more money! ^_^

  • Thanks Maki!!

  • Maki thanks for the comment and heads up on the right sidebar. Maybe its my browser (IE 6.0) but now it shows the widgets further down the page, not at the top of the sidebar, also showing the widgets bleeding into the left sidebar. Last night it looked fine on IE 7.0, so who knows?

  • Beautiful template, thanks so much! I installed it and it worked perfectly–all in about 5 minutes.

    One thing I want to do is have only the “teaser” for each post display on the home page, rather than the entire post. Then the user can click “more” to go to the single post page. Is that something you can help me configure?

    Thanks,
    Nicole

  • Maki on June 19th, 2007

    Hi Nicole,

    You can either use the Post Teaser Plugin or manually insert the “More” Tag within each post. I’m using the Post Teaser plugin for Dosh Dosh. Here’s the link:

    Hope this helps!

  • Hi Maki,

    Thanks to you and Dan for your hard work on this Prosense theme. I’m using it on financial related sites that are in very competitive niches so need the SEO features. I’m just getting underway with posts but looks good so far.
    All the best,
    David

  • Maki -

    Thanks for this great template. I’ve deployed it across several sites in the last couple of weeks, and added a few tweaks here and there (mostly for ad optimization). It performs well and looks great. Thanks for a valuable contribution.

  • I noticed that the index page doesn’t show relevant Adsense ads, but the other pages do. Do you know why this is?

  • The theme doesn’t appear in the theme selector… what’s wrong..?

  • @Mathew, yes, me too. but it also depend to your content. I used it at http://www.freelearnjapanese.com

    @Claudiomet : Look at Comment no.121
    I was having the same problem with you, but it had resolved. See my comment at no 121

  • I have used your template.. love it, just have 1 question, does the template violate the rule of google adsense? I heard that you only can have 3 ads per page.. is it true? really appreciate your comment on this..

  • @Dani
    Hmm, now I understand why not all my adsense showed

  • I’m having the same problem as Matthew above (comment 145) – the ads aren’t appearing on the front page in the sidebar, but they’re fine elsewhere. The id code is correct. Any ideas, please?

  • Hi Kindly let me know how to change the post title color and font size

  • I have activated Prosense today. My site doesn’t validiate valid XHTML.

    There is error on line 255 ” “. There is no starting tag of form “.

    Let me how can I solve the problem.

    By The by, How can I change the permanent link format to
    ” /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ ”

    Regards
    Joynal

  • You can change permalink by click Menu Option and Permalink.
    Don’t forget to change your .htaccess file

  • Maki on June 29th, 2007

    Dani,

    No the template does not violate Adsense TOS. There are only three ads shown on the homepage and on the single post page so it’s perfectly fine. You can also remove any or all of the ads if you don’t want ads on your blog.

    Baxter,

    I do think it has something to do with the code you put up.. perhaps its a multimedia ad, widget or ad that caused this to happen. This did happen to some others using the theme and I think they fixed it through trial and error.. testing which element causes the shift in ads and then removing it. Hope this helps.

  • Don’t forget to change your .htaccess file.
    What changes should be done to .htaccess file. I am really having problem with this fact. Please Let me know ASAP Maki. Whenever I change the permanentlink option then my permanent link doesn’t work.

    By the by, I have found that my RSS FEED is not working too. What would be solution Maki?

    Regards
    Joynal

  • Just stumbled it, it’s a gold mine :)

  • what a great theme… I should download it, thanks.

  • Hello,
    I’m completely new to Wordpress but have done a lot of research and experimenting with a local MAMP installation before trying to go live. Your theme was the one I liked best out of all the ones I experimented with. Now, however, I’ve gone semi-live (one post, no Adsense ID yet to insert) but for some reason the header and footer are not displaying correctly (they were fine on my local MAMP version). No RSS icon, and no footer at all; just the title but no background at the top. I suspect permissions, but all relevant files seem to be correctly set to 644. Any ideas?

  • Maki on July 7th, 2007

    Hi Peter,

    Looks like the images directory either isn’t there or it could be bad permissions. I’d suggest setting permissions at 777 for the relevant files to see if it works. Do let me know if you still have any problems after doing that. :)

  • Just to follow up for other readers: Maki’s suggestions were right on, and fixed the problem immediately. I still don’t quite follow why image files would need permissions beyond 644, but so be it…

  • Great theme, have used it on a site http://www.vitacode.com, I’m using some widgets for advertising which fit perfectly.

  • Bigfoot on July 9th, 2007

    Hi,

    loved the theme and experimenting with it as we speak in Wordpress 2.2. The only thing I can’t seem to get to work are nested/indented pages and categories.

    As for the categories, when I set the hierarchical=1 attribute in the sidebar.php to 1, it groups them, but doesn’t indent them. Moreover, I read somewhere that the wp_list_cats template is even depricated…

    When I add that atrribute to the wp_list_pages template attributes, nothing at all happens, nor grouping nor indentation.

    Help on how to make that work, would be very much appreciated…

  • I have noticed that comments are not formated correctly, no page breaks, etc… any thoughts?

    Thanks for your time and the theme.

  • Yeah I could really use some help on why the comments don’t recognize paragraph breaks… it’s all just on long line of text?

  • Tetris on July 13th, 2007

    Maki,

    Great theme…..can you put in your two cents about how future compatible this theme is when new versions of Wordpress come out? I’m unfamiliar with the kinds of changes wordpress makes, so I’m not sure if the type of changes to wordpress can render parts of this themes functionality useless.

    How hard would it be to update the theme to be compatible with new versions if this is the case, and will you be maintaining this theme to update it along with new wordpress versions?

    Thanks!

  • I wasn’t happy with the “kubrick” theme, so I looked around.. I looked at the “free” templates, and then the “paid” ones. I didn’t like any of them. I liked this template, though, so I am using it. Thanks!

  • thanks for a great template!
    ok so I am very new to blogging and wordpress and the solution to my problem is probably very obvious, but I haven’t got a clue how to do it.
    I want to add an RSS feed to my main page, under where the new posts appear – I have played around with the widgets and dragged the RSS box around, but then where would I add the actual RSS code – I can’t see anywhere where I can edit the RSS widget – the actual feed is from springwidgest.com and they supply the full code, i just have no idea where to put this code, please could someone help

  • Paul on July 18th, 2007

    Great template but I do have a problem I hope you can help with :) . The banner ad and sidebar ad are both displaying Google ads for Wordpress/blog stuff and not the theme of my site. Once into the posts or pages I am fine, but not on the homepage. Any suggestions?

  • Maki on July 19th, 2007

    Paul,

    That just means that you aren’t using enough keywords on the specific topic. For example if your posts talk about multiple topics, its hard for Adsense to decide on a uniform or relevant ads which cater to ALL the posts. The best way to fix this is to focus on a specific topic and include the keywords in your post title. This will lead to better overall targeting

  • Bigfoot on July 19th, 2007

    Hi Maki,

    I posted a question regarding grouping and identing categories and pages 10 days ago, but unlike with other posts, I didn’t get an answer, solution or acknowledgement yet. I’m a bit disappointed I must say and hope to receive some information/fix soon.

  • Maki on July 19th, 2007

    Bigfoot,

    I’m really busy and I’m sorry I overlooked your comment. I’ll run some tests with the theme and get back to you with a reply soon.

  • Bigfoot on July 19th, 2007

    Thanks Maki, really appreciate the effort and looking forward to your solution to fix this inconvenience.

  • Duncun on July 19th, 2007

    I just wanted to know where you can add the site description and meta words in the header section, because it seems a bit confusing.

  • I absolutely LOVE this WP theme. It’s so clean and the ads fall into it perfectly, I’m using it on my blog and I couldn’t be happier with the new look of my website. Thanks a lot for making this!

    P.S. > For those having problems with the theme not displaying the style correctly and the preview being gray in your Wordpress Admin, I couldn’t find this anywhere on the net so… make sure you CHMOD the theme directory and the files within it to 755 and you should be good to go.

  • I’d wanted to download and use this theme. However, I validated the following page -
    http://www.doshdosh.com/prosense-adsense-ready-seo-theme/
    here -
    http://validator.w3.org/
    and it gave 89 errors. Can the code be made 100% XHTML 1.0 compatible?

  • Maki on July 23rd, 2007

    x3r0bug

    Thanks for the tip and I’m glad you like the theme.

    Satish

    I’m not sure why you are validating this page on DoshDosh.com when you should be validating the ProSense theme if you want to use it.

    Bigfoot

    Sorry for taking so long with the fix. The following code should be added to your style.css file:

    #sidebar .sidebar_left ul ul li ul{
    padding-left:20px;
    margin-bottom:0;
    }

    #sidebar .sidebar_left ul ul li ul li{
    list-style:none;
    line-height:1.6em;
    font-size: 1.1em;
    border-bottom:0;
    }

    #sidebar .sidebar_right ul ul li ul{
    padding-left:20px;
    margin-bottom:0;
    }

    #sidebar .sidebar_right ul ul li ul li{
    list-style:none;
    line-height:1.6em;
    font-size: 1.1em;
    border-bottom:0;
    }

    Do also know that hierarchal needs to be set to 1. I will be updating all three versions of the theme with this code now. This should work for the theme. Let me know if you still have any problems with the theme.

    Grant,

    You can simply use a Wordpress plugin which allows you to insert a feed signature under all your posts. Post Footer or Post Post are two wordpress plugins that work well with any theme. Or you can edit the theme files itself to manually insert a feed signature under all your posts.

    Tetris

    This theme will be made compatible for every version of WP that will be released. We will update the theme as soon as a new version comes up so rest assured that it’ll always work for your site. :)

    adam

    The paragraph breaks in the comment section is fixed and changes have been made in the three themes. You can download any of the theme files now. Apologies for the inconvenience.

  • Maki-
    I really liked the prosense blue theme, but I am not able to make All in one seo plugin when I am running this theme. http://wp.uberdose.com/2007/03/24/all-in-one-seo-pack/

    Is there something that needs to be fixed?

  • Maki-
    One more thing what i wanted to suggest was to remove your publisher id from the adsense code that you have provided. I feel if while testing somebody accidentally clicks those you will end up getting your adsense account banned.

  • Bigfoot on July 23rd, 2007

    Hi Maki,

    thanks for the reply.

    I tried your code, but if you make a level two subcategory, it goes a bit wrong, among which the font-weight is higher.

    I also looked into the matter, and the only code I added to the style-sheet is regarding the ‘children’, as follows:

    #sidebar .sidebar_right UL UL LI .children{
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-size: 0.9em;
    border-bottom: 0px;
    margin-bottom:2px;
    }
    To make things look a bit nicer and get rid of the redundent lines, I also changed the following entry:

    #sidebar .sidebar_right ul ul li {
    border-bottom: dashed 0px #D3C69B;
    }

    Maybe give it a test drive with this one and let me know what you think about it?

    Cheers,

  • Hi Maki:

    Thanks for developing the prosense theme. I am using it in my blog. I would like to change the order of the sidebars, so that the adsense sidebar appears in column 3 all the way to the right. I tried figuring this out, but could not. Do you have any advice? Thanks.

  • What a great theme! Thanks! I have one small problem though.

    I want to add the 250×250 ad banner (singlepost_top_square)
    to precede posts on the front page as well. When I add it into “Main Index Template”, the ad banner in the middle right sidebar disappears. It also only appears for the first two posts on the main page.

    It looks fine, however, for single post pages.

    Please help! Thanks.

  • Just installed your theme. Relevant advertisements are not showing up in the home page. Of course, when you take an entry page it works fine. Why?
    If you get time pl. check the site and tell me what is going wrong.
    Thanks

  • Maki:

    I was able to figure out how to switch the google sidebar ads and the wordpress widgets bar. For everyone else, its simple, go to Presentation -> Theme Editor and edit the sidebar. Then simply rename and so that the orginal right becomes left and vice versa. Save and that’s it.

    Ohh.. you will also need to modify the background color and border color of your Google Ads on the sidebar so that it matches.

    Thanks for a great theme again, Maki.

  • I really like the new theme. I have one question though. I do paid reviews on the site that I’m thinking of using this theme on and I’d like to know if there would be a way to prevent the adsense ads from showing up in specific posts. I guess we’d need a plugin for that. I don’t think it’s fair to advertisers to have ads within their posts – that’s the only reason I’m asking about this.

  • lucas on July 30th, 2007

    Is possible to move to a file all words like “commnents”, “Posted in” etc… to make easy the translate of the theme and updates ?

  • Now… If I only had some real traffic!

    Love the theme, thanks.

  • Hey, back again :) Still enjoying the template. I was wondering if there’s a way to substitute a graphic in the header. I gave it a try, but couldn’t find the exact way to do it.

  • Hey All:

    I was trying to rearrange the sidebars to make the google ads appear way to the right on a different blog, so came back to read my own comment (forgot the steps) and realized, its sort of unclear. So here we go again.

    1. go to Presentation -> Theme Editor and edit the sidebar

    2. search for sidebar_right and rename it as sidebar_left. Then look for sidebar_left and rename it.

    3. Save the changes. You will still need to update the google adsense code so that the background color of ads matches the new background. Do this by editing adsense_sidebar.php and adding/replacing the following lines:
    google_color_border = “9CB7FE”;
    google_color_bg = “9CB7FE”;

    That’s it.

    Hi ! Cheer and thanks for ProSense theme. When I use widget “search”, the page is not valid Xhtml Transitional. Demo page (http://thewrongadvices.com/ProSense/) is not either valid… I believe “searchorm.php” is in question, but I don’t find the error. Thank you for your assistance.

I have saved prosesnse theme in local folded and then uploaded it into themes folder in my site and extracted all the files. but for unknown reasond prosense is not displaying any theme but blusense is working perfectly.

    A small help from you will be very useful to me. plz provide me some help. thanks

  • Thanks so much for the theme! I’ve taken it and heavily modified it for my Photoshop Tutorial site, take a look!

    http://mintyferret.com

    Thanks so much. :)

  • A things Maki,

    Overall an ok theme but the images in posts does not have a margin even though we specify them in the wysisyg editor.

    Also, is there a simpler way to change/modify the header image? The Kubrick theme looks easier to change header image than this.

    I looked in the CSS, but could not figure it out.

    There is only one sidebar.php and no sidebar_right.php

    also I couldnt find out how to give a margin to pics in posts like those left aligned or right aligned ones…

  • i can’t get the blue and black version to install in wordpress,only brown.what is the trick ?the skin toesn’t show up

  • I am having alot of dificulty including youtube videos. As soon as I add text or anything else the post loses its margins and pushes the side bars to the bottom.
    Am I doing something wrong?

  • Hi Jason,
    Try the Wordpress video plugin. I’ve use it on several Prosense themed sites (thanks Maki) and it works like a charm.
    http://www.affiliate-programs-promotion.com/2007/08/01/wordpress-video-plug-in/

  • Thanks so much for the theme!

  • My apologizes for the multiple posts, please delete the previous ones:
    ——————————————–
    Thanks so much for sharing your hard work.

    Question:

    Am I doing this right?

    MY ADSENSE PROPERTY INFORMATION:
    ———————————————
    AdSense for Content: ca-pub-9577585613374829
    AdSense for Content Host: ca-pub-9577585613374829
    Referrals: ca-ref-pub-9577585613374829
    Referrals Host: ca-ref-pub-9577585613374829
    ——————————————–

    HOW I ADDED IT INTO YOUR CODE:
    ——————————————–
    google_ad_client = “pub-9577585613374829″;
    google_ad_width = 160;
    google_ad_height = 600;
    etc……

    Is that correct?

    Wasn’t sure if the “ca” in front of the “pub” should stay or not. Exchanged codes with all the Prosense theme files with ‘adsense’ in the name.

    That correct?

    Thanks so much!

  • Jill Long on August 16th, 2007

    How do you replace the header on this theme? I’d like to use the one from ModernPaper, and the Grey and Blue themes don’t load right on my Wordpress :(

  • Great theme! I’m using a barely modified version at my site:

    http://lukeprog.com/

  • Firstly, Thanks for this nice theme. It great. Just the kind of thing i was looking for. Now the problem. The problem is very strange. when i type change my wordpress URL & Blog URL from wordpress to use full path like http://www.xxxxxxx.com , then the adsense are not working. But when i change this path in wordpress to http://xxxxxxxxx.com, then adsense seems to be working fine. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Thanks

  • Great theme Maki!
    I’m using the ProSense Blue version with a few visual tweaks. I also changed the shades of blue to try and give the site a more casual look and feel.

    I hope you keep updating this theme!

  • I’m really digging your Prosense Adsense Theme. And your site!

    I just noticed one issue:

    I have lots of youtube videos on mine and this is what I noticed:

    It shows the youtube URL instead of the vidoe:

    http://www.wdclub.com/category/free-music-videos

    It overlaps text:
    http://www.wdclub.com/tuk-ya-ice-trick-daddy-featuring-baby

    Thanks! I will talk about the stuff on your site soon on mine! Keep on Dosh Doshing (I think thats how it works or simply just ignore it lol) Thanks! June

  • Hi, I am net at this and can’t get the prosense blue theme to work correctly on my blog. It isn’t showing the title, the RSS icon or any of the colors on the header or sidebars. Any suggestions about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do i insert customized headers into the prosense theme? Can anyone help with this?

  • I figured out how to put in a custom header, but I would like to increase the header height. Can you tell me how to do that?

    -for those looking to change your header image, go to the stylesheet (from the theme editor) find #header and change the url listed to your image url

  • Hi Maki,

    Just wanted to thank you for making your theme available. This style is one of the better styles that I have found, and I have looked at many. I modified your theme somewhat, but maybe for those who don’t know much of CSS, maybe you might consider options pages in future revisions of Prosense for easier changing of elements.

    http://www.modernstreet.com

  • very nice template
    thx

  • Hi Dosh Dosh,

    I have already implemented Prosense in 3 of my websites – thank you very much for the theme!

    I have one question – the comments below each post do not have enough space between the paragraphs. Currently, if in a comment we have, let’s say, 3 paragraphs, they look like this:

    Paragraph 1
    Paragraph 2
    Paragraoh 3

    How can I make it with more space between them, like this:

    Paragraph 1

    Paragraph 2

    Paragraph 3

    I tried to play with the code but my skills are not so good. I am sure it is a matter of a very quick fix, so please, help.

    And thank for the great and clean theme!

  • Maki on September 5th, 2007

    Christine,

    To change the header height you need to go to the style sheet and look for the following section:

    #header {
    width: 100%;
    background: #000;

    height: 100%;
    background: #FFF

    Change the “height: 100%” portion to a px value. For example “height: 300px;” and increase or decrease the figure to adjust the height.

    Hope this helps. :)

    For everyone else, I’m sorry for the slow support. Thank you for all your feedback and suggestions so far. I’ll try to answer all the questions via email or in the comment section here soon enough.. so hang in there. :)

  • Hi there! GReat template, and I am playing with it for a new site. My question is that the ads tht show on the first page are are still related to WRITING and BLOGGING, rather than cell phones, technology, mobile services, etc which is what my site is about. I have added meta tags, and tagline but the first page ads still show up related to wordpress and writing. How can I change the first page ads to be more relevant? (All other pages in the template work fine with my adsense ads) Thanks anyone for some advice!

  • Awesome Template Maki! I want to have a header created and read the previous post on how to change the height from % to px. My question is do I need to change the width to px? What should the px dimesions be if I kept the current height/width sizes equivalent to the % size? Hope that make sense. Thanks again!

  • Hi Maki,
    Thanks for making the template available, but I am having a problem with it. The 3 columns do not appear as 3 columns, the 2 columns on the right of the page are displayed down at the bottom of the page underneath the left hand column. Is there some easy way I can fix this? Do I need to change column widths or something ? If so how do I do it ? Many thanks for any help. Vic

  • Hello all. A number of you had questions (including myself) about relevancy of google ads on the first landing page after installing Prosense. Basically the problem was that even though meta tags in the header as well as posts in the blog had numerous keywords, the ads showing were not relevant to subject of blog. Mostly ads were about wordpress and publishing. But once you would click on individual posts or comments, ads showed on those pages properly. Well, I figured out workaround that seems to do the trick:

    1. Create your keyword tags and add them to the SIDEBAR.php and HEADER.php file

    I did this and it seems to work well now, all ads are relevant to my subject. Good Luck, and thanks again for the template!!

  • I am a newbie with no idea of what I’m trying to do!
    How do I upload the template to my wordpress account?
    Please help!

  • Carol,
    If you haven’t already done it you will probably need to download a file called Filezilla, which is what you will use to transfer the template from your PC to your Wordpress account. Vic

  • Sorry, I should have said a ‘program’ called Filezilla – you can get it here – http://filezilla-project.org/

  • AWESOME THEME!

    Only two issues I see:

    1) In FireFox, images have no margin at all! The text just slides right up next to the picture. It looks bad. :(

    2) If I post an image that’s too big, it runs over the division of the page and also moves all the content on the sidebar down to the very bottom (in IE.)

    Any fix for these? Especially for one… trying to edit to code myself to adjust for margin/border, but not sure what I’m doing.

  • Just tried a ton of different edits to the a img { border: 0 } code and nothing seems to add any space to images in FireFox. :/

  • I tried this theme on a site I am moving from a CMS to Wordpress. Until I get the error resolved it sits here: /wordpress

    Whenever I enter new posts I am getting this error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'highsch1_wordpress.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
    SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID

  • Ok, I got the problem fixed. It was the “All in One SEO PLugin” – needed the newest version.

    NEW PROBLEM: How do I allow any hyperlinks to work on the category, archive pages? I really need them to work on not just the home page and single pages but all.

    Thanks for a great theme!

  • Love the Prosense template and am using it as part of the Smart RSS package. I do have the same problem jonkarlis mentioned and although I’ve added meta tags for description and keywords the ads still aren’t in context. Any suggestions on proper syntax for inserting the keywords?

    I’m currently using regular head tags with html formated meta tag names.

    Thanks!

  • Great theme. I have a question. My titles tend to be long and the links from previous post to next post get messed up.

    See here: http://songsalike.com/minneapolis-concert-reviews/ryan-adams-redefines-lackluster-in-another-minneapolis-meltdown/

  • Very good ad placement and blending! Nice one…

  • It’s working. Thank you a lot

  • Love these themes, and am seriously considering switching. One question though: I’ve read elsewhere that the best SEO procedure is to show summaries everywhere except for the actual post page. Assuming this is correct (you may have different ideas), instead of listing full posts in the index/home page, I’d like to show summaries (like ProSense does when a category list is displayed). Easy change? Thanks for any input.

  • The designs of the themes are quite fantastic?

  • Shawn, you might try editing the post slug. Each post’s title on the web is defined by the post slug. you can shorten it without losing the post title on the right page, just the web address of the post will be different as the post slug changes. you can change the slug when you go to edit a post, it should be on the right hand side just above author.

  • I cannot get the new template BlueSense to display in my presentation (admin dashboard)

    when I go to http://www.infobythenumbers.com/wordpress Bluesense is there, but I cannot edit it in my admin dashboard!

    Help?

  • Nice work, I’ll try using these themes on future sites. Happy new year

  • Will give her a run as looking at launching a new blog in 2008…..thanks

  • Great resource as always, Doshdosh. Although I’m not using ProSense personally, I consider this theme has given me some pretty helpful ideas on AdSense placement for my own blog theme.

  • Using this theme for my startup blog. Very cool. I tried a few other themes but for a newbie this is an easy theme to edit. Adsense optimisation is great and I coded some local click ads into the adsense_sidebar.php file without any trouble.

    On small error in XML validation, an xtra tag after the tag in the searchform.php file.

  • Nice theme! I’m using it for my website :)

  • I am struggling with the header file. I want to use the standard color that comes with the theme for the header background, then I want to add my picture on the left, and have the Blog Title and Description go to the right. I just cannot figure out how to make this work and am now stuck with a repeating image, where you can partially see the words and a white background. Can you suggest some ideas of what I can do?

  • When I use the ‘more’ tag, it produces a ‘Read the rest of this entry >>’ link on the main post, but does not display the link when the post is reached via Categories or Search. I switched themes temporarily to see if I was doing something wrong, but it displayed fine in other themes. Is there a good reason why the link should not display in Prosense? If not, how can I fix it? Sorry if the answer’s obvious. Newbie here!

  • http://www.glowicki.pl used this great template here !

  • i’m using ProSense Blue for my blog.

    this is a great template.

    thanks to author.

    i’m wondering, how can i change the header colour from blue to orange/red to synchronize my blog with my website?

  • Well, Prosense template is really popular now and highly recommended in many blogs… Congrats Maki, you changed the (blogsphere) world with the theme :)

  • I’ve always thought that theme was very professional. Although with the way sites are going, people want more of the content management then a personal, old school look.

  • Great theme, not only for adsense, but for SEO optimization as well.

  • Really nice theme, thanks for making it available.

  • Uggh, such a novice trying to learn the ropes. I changed on little piece of code to try to put my custom header in the style sheet and the whole page has gone hey wire. I tried to undo and re-save to the original page_background.jpg but it doesn’t do anything. Any help from an experienced eye would be SOO greatly appreciated.

  • nice offering…much appreciated.

  • Superb post! thanks.

  • >> kristen – January 18th, 2008
    >> Uggh, such a novice trying to learn …

    It will help to mention what all you did!

    I blog @ http://coolest-ads.blogspot.com/

  • Hello. Love the template. I am seeing that adsense adds are not reflecting my homepage content — but they work fine on single page posts. Any idea? I am using prosense in conjunction with The All In One SEO plugin.

    Thanks,
    Mark

  • thanks for the help suggestions, i fixed it. I guess there is no way to change the header img?

  • shouldn’t be the post or page titles the H1 tb for optimum SEO? how can I do that? I want th H1 differenr in every page, is that possible? thanks

  • Nice theme I’m just setting up my blog with your prosense theme but have one question. How do I set it up so adsense only uses text ads? Some of my posts use text ads while others uses image banner ads Thanks

  • I am using the prosense theme on many of my sites and O love it.Thanks

    Now I have a problem on my newest site. The adsense is not relevant on the home page. On every other page it is relevant. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried every thing. The ads on the homepage are all about blogging anf wordpress.

  • Hey guys – is there anyway to put images in the archives/categories section? It’d mean a lot to me if someone figured it out or mentioned how. Cheers. Link is in my name

  • @kite rider — I had the same problem, but it went away on its own. Be sure to double check pub ID and channel setup.

  • Maki — it would be really cool if the sidebar adsense block could be treated as a widget, so that things could apprear above it (like a small banner add).

  • Hi Mark, I’m by far not an expert but I actually just added a 125 x 125 banner above my google ads by opening the adsense sidebar file and entering the banner html above the google adsense code. Worked like a charm, maybe this will help you can see it here at http://www.tubbybundle.com/blog

  • @kristen — Thanks. Appreciate the suggestion. I like your site, by the way. Mark

  • Very Nice. I think it’s one of your better themes

  • Does anyone know how to get images working in the archives section if you’re using prosense? Would mean a lot if someone could figure it out.

  • Good theme for adsense and SEO optimization as well. but some boring ^)

  • “Boring” can be very good for making money….

  • I’ve always thought that theme was very professional. Although with the way sites are going, people want more of the content management then a personal, old school look.

  • Hi, I am net at this and can’t get the prosense blue theme to work correctly on my blog. It isn’t showing the title, the RSS icon or any of the colors on the header or sidebars. Any suggestions about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  • @Camere — heck the file and folder permissions. I have been seeing some weirdness there. all files should be set at 644, and all folders should be 755.

  • I have downloaded and am also having problems with the header, RRS icon and colors. I have checked the files and they are 644 and folder is 755. Any ideas?

  • I also can’t get the header, RSS, footer and colors to work. Have tried in IE and firefox.

  • Won’t load.
    I am sure I’m missing something. Have been through all the posts and tried it all.
    I have uploaded the theme manually and with OneClick.
    I have changed the name. I have chmod the permissions.
    Still it will not load. I can see the ProSense (or prosense) name in the Presentation section but a blank image. When I click it to make it active I get a fail safe WP look.
    I’m sure there is something easy I’m missing.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Does anyone know how to add a widget below the ads in the left sidebar? You can’t just drag and drop, as you can with the right sidebar, without losing all the adsense ads. Probably simple, but I can’t see it! Any help much appreciated.

  • My title bar has a tendency to expand to fill the whole browser window so that it looks as if the page contains nothing but the blog’s name and a solid block of colour. This seems to happen randomly. I tried changing themes to Kubrick and the problem disappeared, but I’d really like to stick with Prosense if I can figure out what’s causing the problem and how to cure it. Any ideas?

  • I’ve started a new blog with the latest version of wordpress and the same thing is happening: the title bar fills the whole page – and then sometimes it seems fine again. It’s only a problem with Prosense. Other themes are fine. What is happening here? Anyone?

  • Anyone that can’t get the header and footer to appear, try loading the images into a separate images folder together with the theme.

  • Bob, my problem is the opposite – the header appears and expands to fill the window.

  • I’ve no problems using the Prosense template. I Loving It. I blogged about DNA testing – http://dnamazing.com

  • I made this question and no one answer… Can you please answer now? Thanks in advance

    shouldn’t be the post or page titles the H1 tb for optimum SEO? how can I do that? I want th H1 differenr in every page, is that possible? thanks

  • Great template!
    But, I was wondering, is it possible to configure http://myloanplaza.com/?p=3 to be my default front page?

    I wan’t this because it seems that the ads shown in http://myloanplaza.com/?p=3 are WAY more relevant to my content than they’re in http://myloanplaza.com.

    How can I do this?

  • Pete:
    Go to Options -> Reading Options -> Front Page. Choose Static Front Page and select page 3.

    Zelv:
    I have the same problem. Nobody answers.

    Maki:
    Where are you? Support needed.

  • Great theme and I want to use this.
    But, I am trying to add one more sidebar at left side.
    I have added code for left_column in style.css
    But it is not showing correctly.
    Please help me where exactly to add the code.

  • Hi Maki,
    Thank you for your great templates, It looks great, and I think that these templates will be of a very good help for any one who use them. I used to promote Adsense and Adsense templates on my blogs and websites.

    Success All The Best.

  • This is a great looking theme. I just have a couple of questions. On the ‘About’ page, how can I get rid of the “Edit This Entry” link? Also, how do I get rid of the search box that is sitting in the whitespace of the main page?

    Ian

  • Never mind about the ‘Edit This Entry’ link. I can’t believe I didn’t think to sign out first and see if this would show up. hanging my head in shame. But I would still like to get rid of the search box in the posts area.

  • TO ALL:

    My only question is, did your Adsense earnings increased with this theme?? Isn’t it the whole point of all this? Why are there no comments if they have any effect at all with their earnings? (alright, that’s not only one question)

  • Love the template, as regards to Adsense earnings too early to say.

  • The template is really nice. I think using this with a combination of plug ins will be great for traffic and Adsense.

  • Has anybody thought about modifying this theme to allow a NAVT topmenu?

  • great theme

  • I like the minimalist style of this design.

  • Really good looking theme especially for anyone using blogs and Adsense. I prefer the blue version.

  • I don’t use an adsense designed them on my blog , and i still get nice ctr just by placing the ads better and by using good keywords

  • nice article , i was thinking at something like this, because i dont get good ct rate and i would like to increase it by making some changes to my blog

  • Thank you for the theme1 This was a first for me and i found it to be easy. i do have question about how i can customize the header. for starters I want to change the line of text below the blog title. it currently says “just another wordpress weblog”

    how can i change that? i looked for that phrase of text in the header file within the theme folder but didnt find anything.

    thank you again

  • Thanks for the theme, I use it on my blog.

  • Thanks for the theme. I wish you had other with other options.

  • Hi. I’m planning to test your theme with a particular blog of mine. The blog currently has a certain “feel” to it I am trying to replicate. I added a background image to the header/footer without a problem, but when I’ve tried to add a background image to the far right sidebar, I’ve not had much success. I tried all of the “sidebar-right” sections, but all I seem to be able to do is get parts of the right sidebar to display the background image. Can you provide some suggestions?

  • Jeremy Hier on February 16th, 2008

    Can we place adsense in the upper left corner.

  • Great theme! I feel a redesign coming on…

  • Love the theme. Very easy to modify to meet my needs. A great big thanks to you guys.

  • Hi , i want add this shopping ad code in this theme, please help me where should i place .
    script type=”text/javascript”>

  • Hi – awesome theme. Whenever I try my hand at these things though Iend up having toconfess a serious wakness. When i try altering the google account number – ie inserting it – the file says “if this file were writable youculd edit it!”. I can’t edit the ads. Can you help?

  • Haydn,

    Not sure what is happening, but normally all you do is add your code and then you are good to go.

  • Is there some trick to making the theme editable? Right now none of the pages are.

  • You need to change the permissions on the file you are trying to edit. If you use CPanel, login and use the file manager. Change the permission on the file you are trying to edit to 666. By default it is probably 644. Then go back to the WP admin and edit your file. Once you make the changes remember to change the permissions back to the original. If you have any questions please feel free to visit my site and contact me

    Hope this helps

  • I started using the Prosense theme for my blog in Jan and have loved how simple it is to mess with. I’ve edited some on the images and the stylesheet with minimal problems. Have a look at how I blended the columns using a chalk effect. http://www.getvalue.co.za. what I haven’t worked out yet is how to change the font of the sidebar ??

    Anyway, thanks for a great theme.

  • hi ITsupportnotes

    thanks very much. I have it working now, i hope!

  • Hi Flytrap,

    I like what you did with adding images, tell me how did you add the images?

  • Bob

    not sure which images you mean. The sidebar changes are took me a bit of thought and the ad images etc. are part of the code. I am more than happy help. Contact me on seeker.at.getvalue.co.za. Like your site BTW. Good content.

  • ctm_rich on February 22nd, 2008

    hey guys,

    any you guys have trouble with the ads showing up? i downloaded the template and changed the publishing id to my own, but when i reuploaded the files, the spaces where the ads should be came up blank. does it take some time for the new publishing id to get recognized? i even went as far as recreating all the sized links and pasting new Adsense unit code generated from the adsense site and reuploading those. any feedback is appreciated.

    thanks!
    -r

  • ctm_rich

    I have notice newer adsense ads that about 10 to 15 minutes to show up on the site. I did the samething only because I needed to add my channel info for the ads. I did notice that I am no longer being served image ads even though I selected image and text ads. Maybe I did something wrong but I started getting text ads on my site in about 10 minutes.

  • Maki/Daniel,

  • Google seems to lose the plot sometimes and the ads vanish from my page. And then they come back. If you recently changed your ads it takes a while to become visible depending, I imagine, on how busy the server is.*shrug* I also imagine signing into your adsense account periodically helps. Sort of to remind them you are still there :-)

  • Hello,
    Thank you for creating this amazing theme!
    I have used the templates and they are great

  • hi

    Have been trying various suggestions here and on other wordpress sites for the last 5 hours but no joy – can anyone help.

    My sidebars on the homepage only are dropping below the comments but are fine on the other pages. My site is http://www.foreclosures-unleashed.com/ – can anyone see what teh problem is?

    Many thanks for any help.
    Nick

  • the problem is only in IE by the way

    thanks
    Nicola

  • Hi Rich,

    It can take some time for Adsense to show correctly, but hopefully by now it should be fine.

  • When I looke at the template with ffox its all good but if you take a look of the template in IE then you will see there is a gap on the left window.

    Plis check http://www.conceptadvisoryservices.co.ke

  • How come you need a CC? You don’t own Wordpress nor the code related to the template? Just wanted clarification

  • thank you maki for this theme

  • Good work, great theme!

  • Hi there,

    I’ve been using your theme (with some modifications) for a few months now… and I love it. Thanks a lot.

    I would now like to implement the SEO Title Tag plugin. It says however to change the following title-tag in the header:

    with:

    As you know, the title-tag in de Prosense theme is a bit more complecated than the one they say to replace:

    Since I’m not a php-wizard and I don’t want to screw up my nicely working blog, could someone please let me know how I can implement that extra SEO Title Tag code correctly in the existing Prosense title-tag?

    Your help is much appreciated,
    Max

  • Very cool, this might be the one I´ll wind up using.

  • After we downloaded the prosense, it is now all in a certain folder in my pc, how can I make it my theme. Im really basic about this. Help please.

  • Yojir,

    You need to upload the theme to your wordpress/themes folder. When you have uploaded it go to your admin and click on the theme it will then be live. I am assuming you know how to upload?

  • opps doesn’t take code; silly me :)

    I make it from line 48 to line 57: starting with the Meta bit and ending with or does the have to go to?

    Again many thanks

  • Hi!

    First off let me say thanks for these prosense themes. I’ve been using them for a couple of sites already.

    Putting together a new site today and am usng the regular prosense theme.

    But on main page the adsense doesn’t show in the left sidebar for some reason. It shows up in left sidebar on the other pages just fine.

    My other sites with the same prosense theme also work fine – with the adsense showing in the left sidebar.

    Any advice? Can’t figure out what’s wrong.

    Thanx!

  • Hi. Still kinda wondering about my image question. In case you don’t want to scroll back up to find it, here it is again:

    “Hi. I’m planning to test your theme with a particular blog of mine. The blog currently has a certain “feel” to it I am trying to replicate. I added a background image to the header/footer without a problem, but when I’ve tried to add a background image to the far right sidebar, I’ve not had much success. I tried all of the “sidebar-right” sections, but all I seem to be able to do is get parts of the right sidebar to display the background image. Can you provide some suggestions?”

  • Walt,

    Have you tried adding the image with css?

  • Sorry, I wasn’t clear. When I posted that I tried all of the “sidebar-right” sections, I meant in the stylesheet. Only sections of the sidebar show the image when I try it that way.

  • Nice template! I am ready to take it for my travel blog. Thanks!

  • i love the blue theme.. i’ve used this theme in my Wise Wealth Builder with the custom header image..:) check it out..

    have a nice day to all and thank you very much Dosh Dosh for the nice theme..

  • Hi lestat,

    Took a look at your blog and it has some great information. Good luck with the new theme.

  • 1) Thanks for a great theme
    2) Any easy way to change the header background to display a photograph?
    3) I just discovered these themes (and your site) from reading Caroline Middlebrook’s Niche Sites with Wordpress
    4) I subscribed !

  • First of all thanking for providing a great blog templates.
    I have downloaded bluepro sense theme. I want to use the same for my mobile blog.

    But I’m not aware off about Php, can you provide any start up guide link, and how I set up and make changes on themes.

  • Hi guys, I know I’m probably looking jam on it but here’s hoping somebody out there can help me out. I’m using Prosense Blue, and very nice it is to.

    The main column has a 250×250 adblock. On occasions I would want to delete this ad altogether and on other occasions replace it with an affiliate ad.

    Most of the time I’m pretty happy to let the ad stay put but what I’d like to know is can I do this on a post by post basis – or is it all or nothing.

    I’m assuming that if I remove ‘adsense_singlepost_top_square.php,’ that will delete the ad completely and I’m assuming I could just add it in manually to each post I make – but that’s the hard way. Anybody any easier suggestions?

    Kevin

  • Hi.
    These themes have very good AD placements, may be is the time to switch my niche in blog format.

  • Yes these themes have good Ad placements and are recommended for greater profits.

  • I like this. Clean, pretty, adsense-ready, and widget friendly. Very nice.

  • If I want to change from having the Adsense boxes appear and insert say images of ebooks do I just put the images in the following: * adsense_singlepost_top_square.php – 300 x 250 Medium Rectangle
    * adsense_singlepost_top_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner
    * adsense_singlepost_bottom_square.php – 336 x 280 Rectangle
    * adsense_singlepost_bottom_banner.php – 468 x 60 Banner

    Homepage:

    * adsense_sidebar.php – 160 x 600 Skyscraper
    * adsense_homepage_linkunit.php – 468×15_4 Link Unit
    * adsense_homepage_banner.php – 468 x 60 Skyscraper
    Will the images show up automatically or do I need to upload the images to an images folder on my server?

    Thanks

    John

  • Hi Guys
    Could anyone tell me how I could place a permanent image on my sidebar. Say between the Search Box and Pages

    I’ve simply tried posting the following

    But nothing appears

    Many thanks
    Kevin

  • Hi, iam getting this error ,
    Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Stylesheet is missing.

    can anyone help me on this pleaseeeeeeeeeee

  • Nice templates.

    How i can add some affliates links and banners other than exisiting adsense.

    Thanks

  • Biju,

    That is my question also except that I would like to add some ebook images in place of the Adsense.

  • One way of doing this is to edit any of the ‘adsense’ files – say adsense_sidebar.php and replace it with an appropriate sized affiliate link.

    The difficulty here would be that the affiliate link would appear on EVERY page. All right if you are doing it for a short period say three or four days to test the waters.

    Another possibility I’ve thought of would be to remove adsense_singlepost_top_square.php completely and when you are typing a new post inserting whatever ad you want manually.

    A bit of a pain I know but I bet there is someone here who knows how to automate such a system.

    These are just my ideas, they could be completely of course.

    Kevin

  • Anyone know if this is 2.5 compatible?

  • I’m working on a couple of your themes. I had clicks on ads shortly after putting the site together. However, I just read that Google is no longer allowing “adsense ready themed sites.” Do these templates fall in that category? Are these themes okay to use as of March 2008? I would appreciate the answer to this question, asap. Thanks…

  • thank you wandorful

  • Google never did allow ‘made for adsense,’ sites as far as I’m aware. But just take a look around the web and see how many Guru are trying to sell or give away ‘made for adsense,’ sites

    I’m guessing that Google will be cracking down on the single page site.

    If it is a reasonable size site, or if a blog is been updated on a regular basis then I think they’ll not worry.

  • Hii i’m a newbie here.. In the past few years i’m trying to be a good Bloogers and trying to collect some useful money income through blogging’s.. But i’d try so many things and didn’t get me any luck.. could you guys here help me on how to get a really useful subject for me to go on with this blogs things.. I’m a failure & i need ya guys to help me.. I’m willing to give my 20% profit ads to someone that willing to help & supporting me.. If there is someone out there know the way please help me!! I really need it.

  • wow.. i can’t believe that you asking us for help.
    Because your site have anything got to do for making money. I think you just need to SEO your site.

  • Hi. Since I know *someone* is monitoring these comments (I saw the ugly post from “Amy” disappear :) ). I’ll try asking my question again. I’ve tried to replace the background color in one of the sidebars with a background image. The best I can come up with – messing around with the stylesheet – is only parts of the sidebar showing the image. Suggestions? Hints?

    (This part goes out to “Amy” in case she checks for her comment. Never assume anything. *Read* the directions. It says right there you need to change the pub ID. Doing something stupid and then blaming your mistake on someone else’s “dishonesty” is one the lowest forms of behavior possible).

  • Love the theme but would like there be less AdSense. I’ve read you can turn some of the units on and off. How is that done? I tried to delete some of the AdSense php but that didn’t work.

    Mark

  • @Mark. Which adsense do you want to remove? The ads are in php documents that start with “adsense_”. You can’t just delete the documents or it can cause errors. Instead, edit one of the documents, like “adsense_sidebar.php” (in wordpad or your editor of choice) and comment out or remove the adsense code (everything between .

  • I’m not a great fan of Amazons affiliate program that said one of the blogs I’m working on at the moment really leaves itself open to Amazon type products.

    Looking around Amazons affiliate centre I came across their Quick Linker Widget adding:
    # a type=”amzn” >Harry Potter

    * Links to Amazon.com search results page for “Harry Potter”.

    # My favorite hero

    * The link reads “My favorite hero” and points to a search results page for the phrase”Harry Potter”.

    # My favorite hero

    * Links to a search results page for the phrase “Harry Potter”, but only in the Books category.
    * View a list of valid Amazon.com category attributes

    # I love this item

    * The link reads “I love this item” and links directly to the specific Amazon product with Amazon id (ASIN) “B000012345″

    It seems an easy way to link to products as you type.

    What I’d like to know is this. Can I usefully add this to my Prosense template so I don’t have to go hunting for it each time I want to include it and if so where does it go.

    Has anyone used it and if so what do they think.

    Kevin

  • Maki(or who ever may know),

    Thanks for the awesome theme. I really like it a lot with one exception.

    My home page ads does not reflect the content I have on the homepage but has ads for blogging and WP. I have seen other people with the same problem but no real solution yet. I even tried what Kristin said in #300 but to no avail.

    If Maki or anyone can help that would be a great help.

  • Who i just changed my theme and my Adsense income increase thanks very much

  • I added the below code for a feedburner feed to ProSense header file. I have a graphic header image and I can’t read the dark blue font on the title “title=”Subscribe to my feed”. You can click the link on my name and see what I mean.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to change the color of just this font in the header? My couple of hours of trial and error just didn’t work! Thanks

  • Thanks for the info mate :)

  • Tim asks in #421 if ProSense is WP 2.5 compatible.
    I have installed WP 2.5 in one of my blogs and on my Mac. What I have found out is that in WP 2.3.x and earlier, when using Search in the sidebar, the function widget_mytheme_search() in /ProSense/functions is used, and in WP 2.5 function wp_widget_search() in /wp-includes/widgets.php is the one used.
    I much prefer ProSense’s.
    You can see the difference in:

    WP 2.5 http://www.ayudamac.com.ar
    WP 2.3

  • I have troubles when i install it on my wp2.5 , i’ll email you for the detail . thx.
    Btw this’s a great information.

  • I just use the theme ProSence-Blue for my blog http://www.nofish.cn – the blog about Chuangcius , but I didn’t use any AD on it.

  • Thank,it is very good information

  • I have problem If I install 2.5. Any updates Maki
    Thanks

  • Nice theme. I created almost the same, an nice add could be AdSense in the articles. So text around the add block.

  • It’s completely adsense blog, but adsense like article in midle, not in side…. I noticed.

  • Hi Maki,

    As a new reader to your blog I must firstly say what a good job you have done here. There is a whole host of vaulable info here.

    I am very fond of the prosense theme and this is a very helpful post.

    Thank you!

  • What type of problems are users having with the latest 2.5 version of wordpress?

  • @Sue – The only problem that I am having is described in comment #435. It seems to fix itself, but it takes about a week or so.

  • These themes install on WP 2.5 without any problems.

  • I’ve scanned through the comments above but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for (that’s not to say it’s not there :) )

    How do I go about replacing Prosense Header with a Image header?

    Simple question, hopefully there is a simple answer

    Living in hope as always
    Kevin

  • Prosense display better for IE ,but FireFox.

  • I’ve been playing around with the style sheet.

    Am I right in assuming if you change the stylesheet from:

    #header {
    width: 100%;
    background: #000;

    height: 100%;
    background: #FFF url(‘images/header_footer_img.jpg’) top center repeat-y;
    }

    To
    #header {
    width: 100%;
    background: #000;

    height: 100%;
    background: #FFF url(‘images/my-chosen-image.jpg’) top center repeat-y;
    }

    And adjust the height to ‘x’ number of pixels e.g. height: 300px. You can then insert your own image?

    Or does there have to be more changed than that?

    Kevin

  • Great theme !
    I have just started to work on it 2 days ago ; it is working very well.

  • this is great theme. But, I noticed better performance on IE.

    Does this theme work with the latest version of WordPress? I activated this theme and the design didn’t show.

  • Billy on April 24th, 2008

    I’ve been playing with ProSense and ProSense Blue for about a week now, and while I really like it, I would like to know if there is any way to make the 7 AdSense files default to 766 rather than 644. With WP 2.5 I have to set the permissions to 766 in order to add the AdSense number via my ftp client and it becomes very tedious. I make numerous installations per day and having a way to have the AdSense files defaulting to editable would save me a lot of time and effort. Thanks in advance!!

  • I’m using this at http://www.finhelp.net . Nice theme. Tthank you very much you saved me lot of time.

  • Billy, you can edit the theme befor you install it.

    Dosh, My problem is IE 7 not rendering Prosense properly.

  • Billy on April 27th, 2008

    Chas,

    The prosense them is uploaded by outsourcers who build the sites. I have just have to add the clients adsense number. But b4 I can do it, I have to reconnect to the site via ftp and alter the permissions to allow me to add the number. Otherwise the files are uneditable, as they are set to 644. If theres a way to skip that step, I’d love to hear it!

  • Anna W on April 27th, 2008

    Hi, We just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and the “posts” don’t display anything in the sidebars on the right:

    http://singlesonthego.com/blog/ Looks the way it should.

    Then click on a post or a comment:

    http://singlesonthego.com/blog/fifteen-first-date-turn-offs-that-make-single-men-run/

    You’ll see that the right side is blank along with the footer. What do we need to do to fix this? We really like this theme and don’t want to change it. It has a very clean, professional look to it. Thanks for all your hard work creating these great themes!

  • I really can’t let this one go by: do yourself a favour and use Wordpress ‘All In One SEO Plugin.’

    About three days ago I started to changed on of my sites http://www.vegetarian-worldwide.com from a standard site to a blog,I’m adding one or two pages that I have each day. As I’m not an SEO expert I included the WordPress ‘All In One SEO plugin.’

    Today I added a recipe ‘American Blueberry Toast,’ and just 18 minutes later it ranked No.1 in Google! (OK granted there are only 195,000 results as opposed to millions for some others – but still No one in 18 minutes!!

    I’ve tried a number of the other pages I have and they are also ranking on the first and second page.

    Recommendation: get All In One SEO plugin today (well not if you’re running a vegetarian site :) )

  • I’m loving this theme for the site I’m working on for a client, but I’m not finding that it’s widget ready in the sense that any other of my themes are. In the widgets page, nothing appears in the right column currently and there’s no way to rearrange what’s in the template without deleting it in the sidebar.php page. What am I doing wrong here?

  • Ok, please disregard the previous comment :-) I guess just writing it out helped me figure it out – no worries! Thanks for a great free theme!

  • Hey Kevin,

    Thanks for the tips on the All in One SEO plugin. I’ve heard good things about it since a long time ago.

    Finally updated my blog http://www.modernstreet.com and so far, it works with the latest WordPress. Haven’t encountered any major problems.

  • I have tried this on wordpress 2.5.1. There are minor problems with sidebar widgets but after editing sidebar.php. It works well.

    Here it is: fitness-tipoftheday.com/

  • A great wordpress theme, n something that inspire me to start a blog.

    thanks

  • Been using the blue theme for a week now and it looks great (check it out http://BookHuntersBlog.com).
    Two things though: When I use the “more” tag it pushes the sidebars to the bottom of the main page. Why could that be?

    I’m using the Amazon Showcase widget and there is hardly any space between the books and the “headline” afterwards. I’ve looked through all the codes but can’t find anything to change it. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

  • Hi. I just put up ProSense on my Blog. But there’s a problem: The header doesn’t show up. Instead, there’s a blank, and the header is pushed up into the area above the Web site.

    For now, I took it down and went tack to Kubrick. Any ideas would be helpful. Email me at: john@johnseiler.com

  • Hi Guys, I really, really would appreciate some advice – for me Prosense has been an absolute disaster!

    Well OK maybe not Prosense but changing from a standard html site to a blog. Let me explain.

    Recently, in the past few months, I took three sites http://www.abcwritersnetwork.co.uk: http://www.vegetarian-worldwide.com; and http://www.worldwide-infomedia-services.com; and changed them from been standard sites to blogs. The result – a drop in adsense earning of at least 90 percent. Now that is what I call a disaster and I can’t see any change in direction.

    As said in my opening paragraph, I really would appreciate some advice – please point your browsers in the direction of the three blogs above – and let me know if there is any obvious reason why this drop should occur. You can post your comments here, or email me direct at kevin at abcwritersnetwork.co.uk

    It strikes me that maybe there are other members undergoing the same sort of difficulties but who don’t want to put their hands up

    Be Good – Kevin.

  • amazing themes already using in 6 of my blogs =)

  • I posted a question about fixing the sidebars a few weeks ago (See above April 27) I am not a programmer. I need to know what to do to fix the problem with the side bar not displaying anything. Thanks.

  • Anna, the “good” page does not render well farther down. You need to hire a programmer. Or some will help for free in forums. Keep looking till you get advice.

  • Jason on May 13th, 2008

  • Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome theme! You can check it you on my blog http://hollandlovey.justfree.com

  • Thanks for this! This is one of the nicest free WP themes I’ve been able to find…and I’ve been doing a lot of looking!

    I love the clean, uncluttered professional look and layout.

    Thanks again for your generosity.

  • I was pretty undecided until I scrolled further down the page and saw the alternate colour scheme. The blue is ultra professional and wins hands down in my humble opinion.

    Very generous indeed, thanks.

    Thanks for the best themes

  • maki..i’m just using bluesense theme..and i really need you help cause i’m absolutely not understand script and html..

    1.how can i change line break “Read the rest of this entry”?
    2.i want to add banner or something in sidebar, how can i do that?

  • Thanks for the theme. I made some modifications to fit my taste but the structure itself looks really neat.

  • I love this theme. It looks really great. However, I am having problems with my adsense horizontal banners crowding my headlines. For some reason they no longer has a gap in between them. Also, I can’t get my bottom banner to show up. Oh, and can you tell me how to take off the meta heading and all the links. Good job on the theme.

  • You guys are great!

    You have designed and shared a very useful theme. I’m a big believer in earning money through Adsense and it depends a lot upon the way the Ads are blended along with other factors. Keep up the good work.

    Cheers,

  • I am new to WP and would very much like to Upload your ProSense.

    Is there a detailed instructions tab? I cannot find a Presentation or any way to add or import templates to a folder in themes.

    Does one have to subscribe to the Custom CCS functionality to get the Presentation button?

    Dosh Dosh is very interesting and informative and I intend to spend many hours reading it.

    Thanks for any step-by-step advice you can give.

  • I am using this wonderful theme and it really tripled my earnings

  • Thanks For the very Nice theme…I ve Already changed my Publisher ID in the ad units…But the Ads Don not keep changing…

    Have I to do nothing with my adsense code?

  • Hi all,

    just worked out something and thought id share it with everyone. Any new WP site i created using prosense or other theme would not display relevant adsense ads on the main page http://www.xxxxxx.com (they only showed ads about wordpress etc) however if i typed in http://www.xxxxxx.com/index.php directly the ads would be relevant. I read many posts from people with the same issue but no real solution – some people said it would just fix itself after some time – maybe related to Google indexing it? But i found after weeks it still was not fixed.

    Anyway, i believe i found the fix for it. You need to overide the home and siteurl DB settings. Edit your wp-config.php file in the wordpress install root and add the following lines of code after the existing DEFINE statements at the top. This is if you installed WP into a subdirectory:

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://www.sample.com/wordpress’);
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://www.sample.com’);

    Obviously you need to put your own site in there. If your WP install is not in a subdirectory then it should just be like this:

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://www.sample.com’);
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://www.sample.com’);

    That’s it, after saving those changes the ads immediately become relevant for the home url http://www.xxxxxx.com, just like the /index.php url shows.

    let me know if it works for you or not.

    cheers

  • I wonder if every one uses the same blending..what will happen to

  • Mike on June 8th, 2008

    Is there any way to keep a a nested page from appearing on the index page? For example:

    PAGES
    About
    Types of fruit
    – Oranges
    – Pears
    – Nectarines
    – etc.
    – etc.

    How can I keep the sub- pages from appearing on the index page of the blog? All I want to show is Parent page names only, not the lower level pages associated with them.

    thanks!

  • Wonder if anyone can help me out here.

    I’ve been using Prosense Blue now for a little while and my blog is beginning to attract regular readers. Currently my side panel consists of the four items found in sidebar.php template ie Pages; Archives, Categories, Recent Entries, and Blogroll.

    My problem is this I’ve a series of about twenty articles on entertainers I want to upload as Pages over a period of time and I want to have a link to each one of those in the sidebar, so for example my sidebar might show Elvis, Paul McCartney, Cliff Richards etc., etc. I want this particular grouping to go under the name Entertainers.

    The problem is of course I don’t know how to do this, or if there is a suitable plugin available.

    I know that I can edit the sidebar.php template and just manually add the html code and links, but I’d like to know how to set it up automatically if only so that I’d know how to do it next time. I’ve some other blogs and I probally be doing something similar there shortly.

    Hopefully somebody out there will be able to give me some help.

  • Kevin,

    the pages already show up automatically in the sidebar – one after the other – not sure what your problem is exactly? You just need to write your articles as new pages rather than posts and they will show up there.

  • Thanks for the reply Paul.

    I appreciate that published pages show up under the heading entitled ‘Pages,’ but what I want to do is introduce a complete new heading, call it ‘Entertainers’, under which I can post all of these Pages

    Anyone looking at my sidebar would therefore see the following headings
    Pages
    ENTERTAINERS
    Archives
    Categories etc.

    Does that clarify where I’m coming from?

    Kevin

  • Kevin,

    here’s what you need to do…

    edit your sidebar.php file and find the part where it references the pages i.e.

    This line will be contained within a section like this:

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=Pages’ ); ?>

    Categories

    You need to create all your pages first then find out what each page ID is. Make a seperate note of these. You can find the page IDs by going into WP-ADMIN>MANAGE>PAGES and hovering over each page – note the ‘post=X’ number at the end of the page’s url at bottom of your browser’s status bar – that is the page id of the page.

    So you would make the code look something like this:

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘include=a,b,c&title_li=Pages’ ); ?>

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘include=x,y,z&title_li=Entertainers’ ); ?>

    Categories

    What you are essentially doing here is splitting the pages into 2 sections – Pages and Entertainers, telling it explicitly which pages are to be included in each of those sections. So for example if i wanted to include pages 1, 2 and 3 in the ‘Pages’ section my code would be:

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘include=1,2,3&title_li=Pages’ ); ?>

    and then in the ‘Entertainers’ section i may only want some entertainer pages in there – lets say pages with ID’s of 6,9,11,12,15

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘include=6,9,11,12,15&title_li=Entertainers’ ); ?>

    Hope that makes sense?

    Paul.

  • Many thanks Paul

    Kevin

  • Excellent themes. Very helpful in getting me going with adding Adsense to my blogs. Thank you very much.

  • Hello i have checked your site i dont seem to know where to download the themes.

  • Hi! Thank’s Maki. Now, I’m using it. One question though, is it enough just to change the “pub-xxx” into mine as it would be different from ad-units in my adsense account. I mean, how do I track it into my channels? or should I replace all code with the same one from my ad-units (same format)? Thx.

  • I like the blue template, will use it for my blog.

  • I just wanted to know how to change the ads display on the the single post pages.

    To me be more specific, I would like only the following ads displaying on each post page:

    one ad on the side bar
    one ad at the botton the post.

    How can I desactivate the remaning ads?

    thank you,

  • The ProSense themes are still some of the best looking and stylish themes around and because of the geat Adsense and SEO features they are still in my Top 10 most useful Wordpress themes!

  • Nice theme! Im currently using it on my site.

  • Thank You So Much… So Usefull for me!

  • Great theme!

    Was wondering does anyone know / where to paste the Google / Adsense verification *code into Wordpress / into the Prosense Blue theme?

    (*not to be confused with the code that enables Google / Adsense ads to appear on web page).

    Thank you.

  • You paste your ‘publisher ID’ (not sure what you mean by verification code) into the adsense php files in the /themes/prosense-blue/ folder. There should be several php files starting with ‘adsense-’ – open them in your text editor and replace that pub ID with yours…should be a huge long series of digits.

  • Thank for beautiful themes

  • Here is a post I wrote on how I altered the header, rss, and column colors.

    http://revenuereservoir.com/2008/06/25/how-to-change-the-prosense-wordpress-theme-header-and-overall-colors/

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Hi, Maki

    I have been using your Prosense Blue theme for sometime now and not had any problem. The theme is a really great gift to WordPress users. I thank you for all the effort you put into this.

    Recently when anyone tries to view my blog at http://www.ebookarama.co.uk/blogitmyway

    They and myself get the following error on the page:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/ebookara/public_html/blogitmyway/wp-content/themes/ProSense-Blue/index.php on line 23

    I have tried my best to find what is causing this, but i am left scratching my head after a month of trying to sort it out.

    The Version of WordPress that i am using is 2.5 1

    If you or hopefully any of your members can give me any advice in sorting this out, i would be extremely grateful…

    Many thanks for a fantastic theme.

    Vince

  • Hi Guys

    I’m hoping to conduct a test.

    What I’m thinking of doing is dropping the Adsense Skyscraper Ad in my sidebar (160×600) and replacing the advertising space with four affiliate programs. Two on sidebar-left and two on sidebar-right. But it throws up certain problems.

    Most affiliates do a 125×125 box and that’s what I would want to run with. Now I can right align the affiliate box in sidebar-left and keep the affiliate box in sidebar-right aligned as is.

    The difficulty I’m having is what is the best way to do this. The ads have to be placed at the same level: you can’t, for example have the ad in sidebar left towering above their neighbours in sidebar-right. As it’s two different columns I don’t think using a table would help – they can’t be placed over the two different columns . Or can they?

    I’m also wondering if it would look out of place f the menus in sidebar-right: Pages, Archive, Blogrole etc were pushed away down by about 300px?

    Has anybody done this already and if so would they like to share their coding.

    As a matter of interest I placed an affiliate block in my Vegetarian Worldwide Blog about a week back and it has already scored for me. It would be interesting to see if the sidebar could produce more cash from affiliates than adsense. And there is always the matter of not keeping all your eggs in one basket

    Any takers?

    Kevin

    I am really excited about using your ProSense Blue theme. However, I downloaded the file then uploaded it to my server but for some reason I cannot view the theme. Instead of a picture, I get blank space. I tried to load it anyway, but their are no images. Any thoughts on what could have gone wrong? Thanks for any assistance.

  • This is a great theme but one thing I don’t seem able to easily do is replace the text in the Header with an Image (jpg). Could someone explain how this can be done? I’ve Googled and tried changing various things in header.php and the #Header section of the CSS file but all that ever happens is that the Header disappears.
    Many thanks,
    Dave

  • Hi,

    Hopefully, someone will be able to help me. I’m really not entirely clued up with Wordpress and making changes to templates. I’ve managed to replace the text header with an image file – but how do I make the header image a link? I’d like for people to be able to simply click on the main blog logo to return to the homepage.

    If anyone can help, I’d be very grateful.

    Thanks!

    Hi i have a questions i am testing this theme out so when it comes to the adsense code do i have change the whole code or i can just change the publisher code and it will be fine ?

    need some help on this

    thanks

  • Adam and Dave,

    i posted the solution for both of those issues at my WordpressNinja.com site. i have seen this requested so many times that i thought i should do something about it ;) . The title of the post is “Wordpress Theme Customizations – Header Images With Hyperlinks”. Let me know if you still have any issues after reading through that guide.

    Vikram,

    you just change the publisher ID in each of the Adsense files. Prosense takes care of everything else for you – one of the reasons it is a great theme that is easy to customize :)

    cheers,

    Paul.

  • In one of my sites (http://www.elasesordevinos.com.ar) I already had put a header image. I then went a step further and included as part of the header image the blog’s name as I wanted to use a non standard web font.. Obviously I had to drop the php line that adds the blog’s name and url.
    I would like to keep the ability to click on the name. I “know” the answer: use the MAP instruction in header.php. But I have not figured out how to do it. Anybody knows the answer?
    Thanks in advance
    Francisco

  • fahirsch / Francisco,

    The best (and easiest) way is just to make the whole image clickable, in which case you can read my post on WordpressNinja.com – but if you just want to make the text part clickable only, you could use an image map like you suggested, or you could make an invisible GIF image which is the same size as the text and position it exactly behind the text – then make the invisible GIF clickable. If you insist on the image map let me know. Its definately the hardest of the options.

    Cheers,

    Paul.

  • Hi, I recently hired someone to transfer over old content onto this Wordpress theme. For some reason, we can’t get the AdSense to show up.

    I checked out the comments on this thread, but none of them worked for me.

    I’d love to get some help and would gladly pay for someone to get the AdSense back on.

    Thank you VERY much for your time!!

  • Paul: Thanks for your generous offer. I think that the MAP option would be best. The invisible GIF is ingenious, but a client-side map is more elegant, and certainly more instructive, to those that wish to learn how to modify Wordpress. The first option, whole header-made-clickable, wouldn’t it interfere , at least in the ProSense theme, with the RSS icon?
    Thanks again,
    Francisco

  • fahirsch / Francisco,

    Actually having a clickable image background wont effect your RSS logo at all…the RSS logo is in a front layer, so when you hover over the image the clicked url will be whatever you set (e.g. the homepage) but when you hover over the RSS logo on the top right the url changes to be your RSS url.

    The way to achieve this is how i specified on my wordpressninja site – create the background image, change the default image background in the style.css file under the ‘Header’ section to be your image file, making it the same width as the background (default width is 950 pixels) and making it ‘no-repeat’ e.g.

    #header {
    width: 950px;
    height: 100%;
    background: url(‘images/header.gif’) no-repeat;
    }

    Then in your header.php find the ‘header’ div and make it look like this:

    Of course change the url to your hompage and that’s it – clickable background image that doesn’t effect your RSS logo. Though you will have to edit the RSS logo to remove the corners that are not transparent ;-)

    Paul.

  • I am blogging in Danish and we have a few special characters. It has never given me trouble before with Wordpress, but using Prosense it’s messing up the characters in some places. It’s a bit weird since it’s only in some places but working fine elsewhere on the site.

    I have noticed that other Danish blogs are having the same problem with Prosense.

  • Paul: Thanks again. I will follow your suggestions.

  • Max: Since my blogs are in Spanish, I sometimes have the same problem. The reason has to do with character encoding. When modifying a file make sure that you save it as Unicode (utf-8). Or use the htlm character

  • Looking forward to downloading and installing your theme.

  • Hi guys would appreciate some help.

    I’ve a blog running http://www.abcwritersnetwork.co.uk it basically covers creative writing contests.

    Anyway I discovered the other day that my code was all screwed up in IE, looked great in Firefox, my browser of choice.

    I thought I had the problem sorted and went back today to have a look and uless it is in my cache it still looks somewhat odd – the display text looks way to big. Has anyone else the same problem?

    On my side I did just cut and past a number of articles from web pages and ended up with errors in IE but I have since got rid of all these

    Anyway would some of you mind pointing your IE browser in the direction of http://www.abcwritersnetwork.co.uk and tell me what you see. Is the display text appearing way to big to you.

    Kevin

  • I like the look of the prosense theme and would like to use it on several of my sites.

    However before I use it I would like to remove the left side bar adsense ad. I tried removing the code from adsense_sidebar.php but that just leaves a blank blue bar going doing the side of the page.

    I would like to remove the entire side bar so I only have right sidebar.

    Any suggestions on how I can do this?

    Thanks,

    Ed

  • Do your them compatible with new wordpress?
    Thanks

  • I solved my problem. I found the places to edit in the css file to remove the left side bar, move the content over to the right side bar border and the adsense code from the front page.

    One thing that was driving me crazy was how to remove the blue background for the left menu. I was searching all the files for the code to change it to white before I finally realized that the background was set by an image, not code. Once I realized I needed to modify the background image in PhotoShop to make the background match the problem was solved.

    Ed

  • That’s a very clean design. I like it with the exception of having 2 columns on the right side. If you look at Adsense optimization, the best ad location is the left side, top center and the footer. If that could be changed, it would be a killer template for Adsense. But affiliates usually bring in more money that Adsense.

  • Great looking theme can’t wai to put it to use for some of my blogs. I am sure it will give great results.

  • Nice look sir Maki.. Great themes!

  • Thanks, guys. I like the home page, which was the starting point for the whole thing, but I fell

    out of love with the rest of it. I think I’ll come back to it eventually and the inside pages

    will look completely different.

  • Is anyone having problems with direct post links?? Please check my website, it shows ok but when you click on direct post link, you can see the description on the video

    Can anyone please help? Please click on my website and click on direct post link.

    http://videohacks.site50.net

  • I think there might be a bug in single.php The direct links are showing funny with text and bookmarking icons all over the video.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    could you please rewrite the code??

    other than that such a great theme, thank you!

  • I think , that’s all great templates, I want to try it. And i hope my blog will famous after using your template.

  • wow…this is a great wordpress theme…actually, it’s one of the best I have seen in a long time.

  • Nice job, guys. I must state that the blog isn’t passing validation. :( We thought it was us (after adding pub-XXX) but we tried fresh copies many times (on the blue) and the result was the same and on the DEMO PAGE (orange) as well.

    Here were my errors.

    Result: 6 Errors
    Address: http://411newyork.org/guide/
    Line 203, Column 6: end tag for element “form” which is not open

  • Goto to “/wp-content/themes/blue/search.php and look for…

    <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”">

    and then remove the last and the page will validate. I’ll see the grey and the orange needs work.

  • Nice template I have used it on my blog, thanks

  • I would like to add the First_name Last_name at the end of the post as in: “This entry was posted by First_name last_name on at and is filed under”
    I realize that there should be something like , but what is the correct way to do it?
    Francisco

  • I have the blue prosense theme for one of my sites and love it. I wanted to add the blogroll to all my post pages so added a php code in the sidebar but now it shows up twice on my index page. I know there is some code I can remove about the front page/index page so it will just show the blogroll once but am not sure where to start removing it.

    I also wasn’t sure if I decided to use the widget to add a text box in to one of the sidebars, will it remove the items you already placed in there to begin with? I like the way it’s set up , but I just want to add an item using the text box widget to make it easier. Currently it says there are 0 widgets in the sidebars which I know as I didn’t use it yet. Anyway thank you for this theme and I’m going to try the tan/white combo next.

    Deb

  • Very good theme. I only have added one more sidebar with width as both two old sidebars summed, and have put big AdSense block on it.

  • @ LIfehacker – Your page does not validate and has 214 Errors and 9 warning(s) .

    In our humble, big ads will be a turn off to your visitors unless you have content that they really need to see.

  • Hi, I like the theme. When I replace my adsense code the ads change to only one item in each one.
    Why would this happen??

  • Jean-Marie on November 9th, 2008

    Do you have any idea why adsense on ProSense is not showing relevant ads on the homepage???

    While it shows relevant ads on the internal pages??

  • This seems like a fairly simple problem and yet I am baffled by it. AdSense ads are not showing up on my blog. I have everything configured correctly, the Adsense code in the right places in the Theme Editor, and yet no ads come up.

    I have done some modifications to the look of things on the site, but nothing that I think would interfere with the 2nd column and ads coming up in it. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what I could do to fix or troubleshoot this?

    Thanks!

  • What kind of problems may be expected using ProSense with WordPress 2.7?

  • Isn’t WordPress 2.7 a beta version? I’d stick with 2.6.3 until its stable or make test blog with a copy of the sql dump.

  • Thanks Maki for the theme. I am using it now.

    Just want to know, how can I disable the adsense ad block on certain post page as I want to display some other ad in that space?. Also do you know if it is OK from Adsense T&C to display some other ads in place of adsense ads or in combination of both?.

    Your quick response is appreciated.

  • I am using the blue theme and like it a lot. Sometimes when I make posts there are too many spaces between words on index page. I am not sure what causes this. I also wasn’t clear if there’s a way to not use adsense for certain posts if you just want to emphasize an affiliate program but it seems to be part of sidebar so I don’t think it can be used on a page by page basis. Thank you for all you hard work.

  • Thanks for the WP theme.

    I installed it to a new blog I am making. I would like to know if i can add a banner in the header in place of the rss icon? I am planning to transfer the icon on the top most left side bar?

  • Hi,
    I looked at a lot of themes, but kept coming back to ProSense, and now I’m using it. I like the look and feel of it.
    One quick question if I may, is there a way to enable comments on a single page or perhaps all the other pages? I tried the code at Wordpress support http://wordpress.org/support/topic/196788
    but it didn’t work correctly. I’m new at this but it seem pretty simple really, anyway,
    nice job on the theme!
    Jerry

  • I found this theme by Google today. I am a total wordpress newbie, and was looking for a way to monetize a new blog.

    I downloaded the blue theme, uploaded it via FTP, activated it, changed the publisher ID and presto! One nice looking blog with Google ads showing!

    Now I have to fill it with content to keep those little ad clickers coming………

    Thanks guys!

  • @Anuj Seth – Hi I like your flash page ad on your website. I was wondering could you tell me how to get the vitabeat ad page for my health insurance site.

    You have done a great job on your blog site.

    thank you,

  • I have installed WordPress 2.7 . Everything seems to work ok, except for something that I now realize maybe happening since at least 2.6. If any widget is added to the right sidebar, it annuls all the items that are in sidebar.p h p.
    The difference can be seen comparing two sites (they are in Spanish):
    a) http://fiscaldemesa.dynalias.com:9000/ (my test site) which has no widgets
    b) http://www.fiscaldemesa.com.ar which has several widgets.

    Both Prosense themes are identical. I have modified th sidebar archive so that it shows Pages twice but excluding different pages in the headings called Páginas and Constituciones.

    The question is: is it a bug (WP or ProSense), working as designed, or whatever?

    Another thing that is bothersome (but is not related to WP 2.7) is that Pages, SubPages and Sub-SubPages when listed on the sidebar have different sizes, growing with the level, smallest being the pages, bigger the subpages, biggest the subsubpages.

    Feedback will be welcome.
    Francisco

  • Is this theme compatible with WP 2.7?

  • I installed it here: http://real-deal-blog.com

    However, I am seeing two square ads on the post pages, but no banner in between category lists, no link units anywhere and no 468×60 units anywhere? (The 468×60 on the homepage is manually inserted)

    Yes I have checked and updated the Adsense code via FTP. Its all there and correct, but I am only seeing two rectangle adverts in posts and the vertical tower unit. No 468’s or link units.

    Is there a way to switch these things on and off anywhere, like a theme control panel or something? (new to wordpress you see)

    Is DoshDosh still providing advice/support on this theme please?

  • I’d also like to see this theme updated to support Customized Google Adsense search since it’s a very nice theme indeed.

    The CSE article “How to Set up Google Custom Search for your Website and Make Money” at:
    http://www.doshdosh.com/how-to-set-up-google-custom-search-and-make-money/
    makes the search results flow all over the sidebar and I have to spent a few more hours to figure out how to fix that :-(

    But maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction? This site:
    http://takethu.com/blog/2007/06/17/google-cse-in-wordpress-template/
    mentions a search template and although there’s a search.php in the theme it’s not showing as a template in WordPress.

  • @Patrick – I spent a few more hours and finally figured out this simple thing I had to share :-)

    With CSE (Google Custom Search) you can choose to show ads on for instance top&bottom and top&right. You can tweak the width of the former but the latter will take up at least 795 pixels. So choose top&bottom for ads and you’ll be allright.

  • @Jerry – I use this theme with WordPress 2.7 on my blog at http://www.1wayto.com/. I haven’t ran into trouble caused by this theme.

  • I am answering part of my question dated December 16th:
    “I have installed WordPress 2.7 . Everything seems to work ok, except for something that I now realize maybe happening since at least 2.6. If any widget is added to the right sidebar, it annuls all the items that are in sidebar.p h p.The question is: is it a bug (WP or ProSense), working as designed, or whatever?”
    The answer: Working as designed. I have since modified sidebar.p h p so that it accepts widgets and keeps part of the items that I don’t want replaced.
    As to second question: “Another thing that is bothersome (but is not related to WP 2.7) is that Pages, SubPages and Sub-SubPages when listed on the sidebar have different sizes, growing with the level, smallest being the pages, bigger the subpages, biggest the subsubpages.”
    Answer: I have not found where the problem lies, nor have a solution

  • Regarding compatibility with WP 2.7. I have upgraded 7 sites with ProSense to WP2.7 and see no problem.
    By the way, to those that modify this theme, (or any other) and use WP 2.7, I suggest that you try child-themes: http://tinyurl.com/3fzw2j

  • I like the clean design and have installed it on my test site – http://www.learnloanconsolidation.info.

    But what I’ve noticed is that the ads on the front page are not targeted, but they are when I click the individual posts. On the front page I get ads targeted to wordpress, templates, and blogging.

    Anyone know what is wrong?

  • starflames on January 10th, 2009

    WOW! I have a 10-month old site and it was only averaging 3 cents per click. Just before midnight last night, I switched my site over to Prosense Gray. This morning just before 7:00AM, I checked and was pleasantly surprised to see that my clicks are averaging at about 17 cents each!

    I hope this is a sign of better things to come. Thanks so much for this FREE theme!

  • Great theme! I downloaded it, used it to replace the ‘blogsimplified’ theme I was using as it caused 128 XHTML errors. Just by uploading this theme that dropped to just 6. Any help dealing with these as my ability to play with code is basically non existent.

    If that link doesn’t show the errors just visit my homepage & click on the Valid XHTML link:

    Finally, I noticed that my blogroll only appears on my homepage. Is that correct? How can I get it to show in all my posts?

  • Has anyone using wordpress 2.7 noticed that the RSS feed & comments feed links don’t load properly?
    My blog:
    http://www.aid-renegade.com

    I double checked & know they work in the default wordpress theme.

    Thanks for your help to this & my previous questions in advance.

  • Hi,

    I’ve just done installing prosense theme on my blog

    http://www.inventory-management-software-guide.com

    However, when I setup the Adsense code, the ads appear on the article (which I don’t want it to be…) I want to seperate the Ads from the articles and I want it to appear on the sidebar (I wish to put the code on the area between the article area and the categories area)

    As the developer of this theme, may I ask how to put the ads on the place where I want it.

    Thanks a lot!

  • How do you remove this in the sidebar..Prosense WP2.7

    Meta
    Site Admin
    Log out
    Valid XHTML
    XFN
    WordPress

  • @Burt: I have good news for you since I had this same issue. The good news is that removing those links is very easy: the Meta sidebar items will disappear as soon as you add any widget.

    Examples of frequently used widgets are: Pages (with links to pages), a blogroll (with links to other blogs/sites), Recent Posts, Categories or the Tag Cloud.

    If you don’t add a widget you’ll have to edit PHP which I won’t explain here since I believe you’ll always add a widget.

  • Thanks a lot for this theme. I just implemented it on my new site. Very nice and probably the best wordpress template! :)

  • I have trouble in my previous theme, since my problem is on how to increase may adsense earnings. I try to experiment on the different ads placement but it doesn’t work. Until i try to look for a new theme, i found this site and try installed it. The next day, i was surprised that my earnings increases to 70%. I am still experimenting on the ads placement, to see if i can increase more, the left side scraper ads will not work for me, it doesn’t gain clicks, so i replaced it with links.

    I recommend you to give a try, if you want to increase adsense earnings by ads palcement, this theme works. Thanks a lot. Here’s my site:

    http://www.ramzkie.info

  • @Patrick

    I’ve installed the theme, but cannot make the ads show up in the left sidebar. Please advise. I found the template file, but it won’t activate on the web blog.

  • I am using the theme and am trying to get the sidebar adds to show up. I edited the adsense_sidebar.php with my pub id, but am not seeing any ads. What am I missing?

  • Never Mind! My adsense starting working. I guess it takes it awhile to load. No problem.

  • I have installed this theme with Wordpress 2.7 and it’s absolutely beautiful! However, the link unit in the header gets somewhat “squeezed” and th ads seem to clutter (no space between them). I just changed the Google Adsense ID number in the respective adsense sections and didn’t change any other code.

    Did anyone have the same problem (and solution)?

    Thanks

  • @Oyun hileleri

    I haven’t experienced any problems at all running ProSense with Wordpress 2.7.

  • I have a display problem when loading my site using IE7 (Internet Explorer 7). The two right columns shifts downwards and starts from the footer instead.

    I tried messing around with the width attribute for the “page” and “sidebar” classes, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

  • I recently noticed that after getting my site indexed on Google, it was suddenly delisted. According to the google forums it has to do with this line of code that can be seen when you view the source code:

    Apparently it should be ‘index’ . I can’t find this line of code anywhere … any help????

  • I love how you implemented Adsense in your theme.
    Thanks a bunch !

  • amazing themes…two thumbs for it ^_^

  • Looks like a great theme, I am going to use this for some adsense sites I have been wanting to put up for some time, now I don’t have any excuse.

  • This theme is outstanding! I’m just starting out with blogging and was looking for a good adsense aware theme. This fits the bill perfectly. Now, I just need to get my adsense account set up and I’m in business. My web site is http://www.rationalwalk.com.

    Thanks!!!

  • I’m building a new site using the prosense theme and am facing a problem that others have commented on but the the solutions don’t work for me.

    Essentially, I’m trying to get rid of the META group in the sidebar.
    Meta

    * Site Admin
    * Log out
    * Valid XHTML
    * XFN
    * WordPress

    If I add a widget , everything disappears in the sidebar including categories, archives etc.

    I’ve gone into the sidebar php file and manually edited out the menu
    Meta

    Valid XHTML
    XFN
    WordPress

    and the Meta section remains despite the fact that i edited it out.

    Any answers?

  • Maki, thanks a lot for this theme. I’ve used this in 2008 the very first time I launched my site. But I had to use other themes while building up my site to be to apply for adsense.

    Now that I’ve Google adsense, I’ve used again your theme. It’s really fast-loading, and wow, the adsense placements are great!

    Can you please help me about putting an About and Home links on the header? Thanks again.

  • Hi, I’ve been using this theme for quite a long time now. There’s nothing much I want to complain, it works great.

    Just one request: how to add a navbar on the top of the page, just below the header and above everything else? could you provide me with a code so I could paste it in directly? My navbar should be able to link to pages.

    Thanks in advance!

  • I have been looking for good adsense-ready theme and found out this page. After installing, I am impressed with the clean look and ease of configuring.

    Well done and thanks a lot.

  • The ProSense theme works very well for my site. I am running into one difficulty related to bakground colors. From reading the CSS, the background color of the page area is based on an image file named page_background.jpg. What is the backcolor CODE for this color? I am trying to make my google adsense ads blend into the background of the page. Right now, my google ads use #FFFFFF for the background which is white. I’d like to match it to the prosense background color.

    Thanks in advance and GREAT WORK on this theme!

  • Guys, never mind my question. I found the answer!

    I’m not using the default adsense php files because I’ve customzied the ad placement. I found the info I needed within the original phps.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Just switched to Prosense.

    Looks great, like the 3-columns and colour theme.

    Am however, having some problems like:
    (1) tweaking the theme to show ” …more” after the first paragraph of each posting.
    (2) the Categories are not showing up in the right column as I expected
    Anyone knows?

    But its still a great looking theme.

    Thanks!

  • newbie on March 20th, 2009

    Hello,
    Thank you for making all these themes available.
    I’m totally new at this, but determined to build a successful site.
    I have downloaded and installed the Prosense theme, however, no header appears at the top, no blog name, no tag line.
    What am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to upload my own header image?

    Thanks

  • newbie on March 20th, 2009

    Also, it says I’m using 0 widgets in the sidebar, but there are certain widgets showing that I’d like to remove (Archives, recent comments, etc.). How can I remove them if the settings indicate none are being used?

  • Anyways, just downloaded it from your site link. Thanks alot!!

  • @Mark
    right, it is boring cms template but it works and earns big income

  • looks great. I am planning to launch a new blog soon on Indian markets. I think this template is good choice.

  • Hi Maki,

    Cheers for the Prosense – I use the gray version and customise it to get my Noobpreneur blog a face lift. Please check http://noobpreneur.com/ to view what I’ve been working on the themes.

    I choose yours over my previously used Thesis by DIYthemes – and Prosense is free! :)

    Thanks!

  • @newbie

    this widgets are already located on the file sidebar.php you can remove them from there.

    this happens when you have no widgets so the blog shows the default widgets from the theme.

    thanks for the theme Moe Hassan

  • Hi,
    I have just uploaded prosense gray to http://www.harleystreetsymbiodynamics.com and I cannot see the header or footer parts on the site? – can you advise me how to change that please.
    Thanks

    @Maki -

  • Has anyone done any testing on actual adsense income with the different colours.

    In other words which colour brings in the most money?

    I prefer the look of the grey – I thought the blue was a bit overpowering and maybe didn’t highlight the ads as well – but someone must have expermimented with all three colours to see which works best – in terms of money results not looks.

  • I’ve tried for hours to do this – I’m pretty new at this – but can anyone help?

    I like the grey prosense best but want to change the colour of the header text to white or gray – perhaps same as the description text colour.

    I went into the style.css – changed header h1 colour from #fff to something totally different (I think #5C82EF) – saved file – went to site – no change – the text was still blue – went back 10 mins later still the same.

    What did I do wrong?

  • Hi there, I was wondering if there would be any complications applying to Google adsense when this theme already has adsense in it. Thank you very much.

  • Hello everyone …

    I’ve been using the ProSense theme and I’m very happy with it overall. I’m not using the built in adsense spaces, however, and wish to implement a different approach. I would like to place 200×200 units in the sidebar via a widget. The problem I’m facing is that the sidebar is currently only 185 wide. I attempted to modify the css file and thought that I had adjusted everything appropriately but it didn’t look quite right. The sidebars were in fact 200×200 after my adjustments and I also widened the overall size of the page by 30 pixels. However, there were ugly white stripes on the right and left side of the page because the background didn’t carry into the expanded space. Has anyone attempted to widen the sidebars and, if so, do you have any code to share?

    I have programming experience but I’m entirely new to style sheets (as I’m sure you all can tell :)

  • @Ravi Nagarajan

    I figured out how to do this — in addition to modifying the CSS, you have to expand the width of the header_footer_img and page_background files by 30 pixels. Once I did this, all is well.

    If anyone has comments on what I’ve done with the theme on my site, let me know …

    In addition to the square widgets 200×200, I have placed a banner in the header to replace the RSS icon. I then added a “Free Subscriptions” page for rss subscriptions.

    I am using ProSense – Grey theme, I wanted to move one div to left and keep another to right, how can I do this? I also saw even in footer we have two divisions and when I was typing some long disclaimer it was not getting displayed properly.

    Please let me know
    1) how I can keep only one division in Header and Footer?
    2) how I can move one div to left and one to right (I want both of them to be of same width)?

    Please advice on the above. I am developing and hosting on my localhost (with IE) and hence please guide so that it is compatible with other browsers also.

    Thanks
    Vinod

  • Please help!

    Thanks for the great theme, but I can’t determine where to put my Adsense ID? Can someone please let me know

    Many Thanks

    Hi,

    Just go to your theme folder in your hosting account, and look for php files started with the word “adsense”. Edit the files and change what’s inside with your Adsense codes.

    I prefer this over other WP themes that enable customisation through Admin area. It is so much easier to customise, IMO.

  • David on April 21st, 2009

    Just downloaded the (blue) theme to my computer.
    Do I need a FTP to get it up and on Wordpress?
    I’ve never done this.
    Which FTP should I use?

    Much Thanks,

    David

  • Hi Daniel,

    You’ve done a great job.
    I’ve been using prosense for quite sometime.

    I have just had a problem with comment.
    I saw that the comment section in my blog is written
    “comments are closed”,

    This way, i can not interact with my visitor.
    Please tell me how to open the comment form.

    Thanks a lot.
    John.

  • Google ads don’t seem to show up in IE but they do in firefox. Is there a fix for this?

  • Hi Maki. Just a quick comment to let you know that I’m very impressed with this Adsense theme. The ads really look like part of the site. Cheers.

  • Vinod Tiwari on May 2nd, 2009

    Hi,

    How can I have menu (like home, contact, etc..) on top of Prosense theme, like you have?

    Please suggest how can this be achieved.

    Thanks
    Vinod

  • Hi, I’ve been using the blue Prosense on this site and really appreciate it. I just found out that the 404 pages are NOT supposed to have Adsense ads, though, yet mine does. Also I understand they also shouldn’t be on static pages like About. How do I remove the adsense ads JUST from those pages? Thanks so much for the help and the great theme :)

  • @Teng-Yan Loke – I also have problems with prosense in explorer- looks great in firefox. Did you find a fix?

  • I am not very technical and I sure wish you had more tutorials for your theme. I finally managed to get it installed as my theme, but it doesn’t look at all like what you have on your website. I’m looking in both Firefox and IE and the look and feel of the site is shows only one column display and the only highlight background color column is for one of the Google Ad boxes. So can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? I scrolled through the long list of comments you have and no one else seems to have encountered what I’m experiencing. I’m a bit miffed.
