New Theme: eVid

I finished a new theme today. It’s called ElegantVideo, or “eVid.” This theme is for video bloggers, people who plan to intergrate videos from video-sites such as Youtube into their posts.

Adding videos is fairly painless, just add the embed code from the website into a custom field and the rest is done automatically. The videos are displayed within a custom interface that adds some basic “blogger-like” features.

The theme comes with a decent amount of options. You can choose to remove the featured articles, popular posts, random posts and category boxes from the homepage, as well as specify the number of posts displayed within each element. There are two optional ad blocks, a set of 4 125×125 banner ads in the sidebar and a 468×60 banner at the bottom of post pages.

Take a look at the live demo and the features page for more info!

    Wow, another outstanding theme, there is no other wordpress themes collection with so many georgeous advanced wordpress themes there like this one! Respect!

  2. Nikhil says:

    Looks good! However I’m not sure where can this be used. This one allows you to post vids and content, right? Is it possible to increase video screen size?

  3. Roman says:

    Would like to use it for photos ! Is that possible and how ?

  4. Wonderful theme! :)

    Congratulations, again!

  11. Denis says:

    WOW Im so freaking glad I subscribed for this, your the best!

  12. Denis says:

    quick question, what does “Recent From Graphics” mean???

    • admin says:

      Those are recent articles from a specific category, in this case, the “Graphics” category. You can change which category the list of articles pulls from within the theme’s options menu.

    Beautiful!

    An awful lot like press75.com templates, but hey, they’re not going to be available anymore in november!

  14. Chelle says:

    I love the color scheme on this one and the functionality is amazing…all I need is a site that could use it! (I sadly have no video sites!) I am going to play with it though that’s for sure!

  15. Denis says:

    thanks

  20. Marnny says:

    hi there,

    can i suggest you show the rating for each video.. cause you can rate a video.. but u cant see the rating score?

    also it would be also nice, to also have the stars and rating functionality with the video thumbnails.

    also do you provide a service to redesign the blog.

    thanks

    marnny

  25. Erion Shehaj says:

    This theme is outstanding. I like the design so much, I think there needs to be a regular (non-video) version of it.

  26. Vinay says:

  31. i just bought this and can’t find this anywhere on the readme. what is the custom field for the image background for the featured video at the top?

    thanks

  32. admin says:

    There is only one thumbnail custom field used in the theme. Use a Key of “Thumbnail” and a Value of your image URL. In the future, please post support requests on the forums.

  33. Fantastic…Loving it..Can you make more themes for personal blog?

  34. Steven says:

    This is a great theme – my only question is if there’s anyway to make the videos bigger or as big as reasonable. People would rather watch videos of course as big as they can.
