NewStone is a simple and clean two-columns, fixed-width theme. If you like, it can become three-columns by using particular widgets. NewStone is designed to compatible with WordPress 3 standard features including Custom Menu, Header Image, Custom Background and Featured Images.

Before you download this theme, allow me to introduce how NewStone works for you and what are the main features of NewStone.

Main Features

1. Easy to Customize Your Blog Layout

You can design a great 960×130 image to replace with the default header image, or upload a big size image for the background. Just 2 steps, your WordPress blog layout will be unique and more good-looking than before.

Simply check out my gaming clan website at www.tw-clan.com, it looks different, right?

2. Works Fine with General Web Browsers.

I have used the general web browsers to test the theme, including IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, IE 9, Chrome 12, Firefox 3, Firefox 4, Firefox 5, Safari 5. All works fine. Note: If you found any issue in NewStone theme with specific browser, please let me know, I will fix the issues and update the theme files.

  • Thank you very much for reporting the issue, the following ways both can solve this issue, you can choose one of them.

    (1) In header.php, search the code below:

    47
    48
    
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-widget' ) ) 
    	dynamic_sidebar( 'header-widget' );

    replace with:

    47
    48
    
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-ad' ) ) 
    	dynamic_sidebar( 'header-ad' );

    (2) Re-download NewStone package through my server.
