It’s quite fascinating. Your posts are really interesting. To have a good blog you should not only to add something, but do it interesting. You managed with it – thanks.
Hey,
Thanks for the theme, I’ve recently switched to it and quite like it. I’ve had one problem with the Google Analytics plugin. It worked fine with Hemingway and other themes but broke when I switched to Tomorrow. The outgoing links feature works fine but the actual insertion of the tracking script block is no longer automatic — for now I inserted it manually in the theme code. Any ideas?
thanks, brian
Hello Brian,
I’ve installed the Google Analytics plugin on the test site and I’m investigating, I will keep you updated as soon as possible.
Maybe it’s just me but is anyone else having trouble using this theme with the comments? It seems like only one comment is allowed per post. It seems to be fine on the test site.
@Brian:
I am testing the plugin, and it seems working fine.
However, as you noted, the quirk of this plugin could depend on whether the code of Tomorrow is missing the
<?php get_footer(); ?>tag, being the footer integrated in index.php.A plain alternative could be move the footer section in a separate file, ‘footer.php’, and replace it in index.php with
<?php get_footer(); ?>.@Vinnie:
Examining the html code of your blog I noticed that it is truncated before the footer.
Are you using a version of Wordpress older than the 2.5?
Yes, I am using an older version, is there anyway I can modify this theme to work? I really love this theme.
@Vinnie:
The rework would be excessive in relation to an uncertain result. It’s better update Wordpress, whose next release is expected by the end of November.
_Tomorrow_ is incredibly elegant. You’ve married minimalist elements with a dark colourscheme, which doesn’t happen often. Good work.
You should consider setting up a PayPal-DonationWare link for your work.

Thanks Mitchell,
I am really pleased;
I am currently running the latest stress tests on the new version of “Tomorrow”, which can be seen in preview on the test site.
Hi,
I am having problem getting Twitter widget to work. I added it without modification and getting an error message: “Array slice……”
Hello David,
thanks for reporting.
According to the error, the plugin seems to be Twitter widget pro; it requires at least WordPress 2.5 and PHP5. You should verify this.
hello, thank you very much. I love your theme. am I able to present a photo on the header, either next to or as a background to the main title? and if so, can I load a few photos that randomly come up as one refreshes the main page?
kind regards
matt
Thank you Matt;
yes, since you can modify the header section or its style properties.
The theme of pacquola.org, Brooksfield, is a spin-off of Tomorrow and uses this kind of solution.
It’s on prototype stage, maybe I should open a separate thread for customizations.
For the image rotation, I could suggest a look to JW Image Rotator (jeroenwijering.com), otherwise here:

I have version 2.6.3 of WP and the comments still doesn’t show up until you click the header/permalink.
Unless someone has already done that and posted a comment, then it says “1 comment” on the main blog-site.
What can I do to fix it, cuz it’s a truly great theme and I want to use it?
Hello Pontus,
it’s a feature of the last version: the “comment link” and the “comments feed” link are displayed if comments are enabled and there is at least one comment.
Tomorrow doesn’t show the “0 comments” link.
To modify this behavior you should have:
<?php comments_number('0 comments','1 comment','% comments'); ?>Thanks a lot!
Hi,
Love the template, but I have one slight problem. When I view a photo (after clicking on it’s thumbnail) it shows up with white borders around it – this does not look nice. I think this is because of my widescreen monitor.
Can this be changed – if so where? Am I able to centre the full size image? I am using the in built media library.
Kind Regards, Rob
Hello Rob,
I noticed that your site uses the Photo Gallery Plugin for Wordpress, which adds its own style sheet.
In particular, it adds these three rules:
body {opacity: .999;} #main_image {background: # fff;} .caption {color: # 887;}The first one could explain why the text looks normal in IE and Opera, strange in Firefox, bad in Chrome.
The second rule sets the value of the background to white (
#fff). Try to set it to#141414.Also, maybe the color of the caption should be white, instead of
#887.Hi,
I still love the theme, thanks! I haven’t tried it yet with WP 2.7+, do you know if it will work?
thanks, brian
Hello Brian,
sure, the latest version (1.0.9) works fine under Wordpress 2.7+…
im using the Tomorrow theme for my recently started blog and im quite liking it very much and for that I THANK You kind sir
Hello Chummy, thank you for having chosen “Tomorrow” and congratulations for your new blog.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Hi, I use tomorrow and I love it:) the only thing i miss is a button on every post on the frontpage that counts comments, and that users can click on to write theirs. If they have to click in to every post I think fewer will comment. Do you know how to fix this?
Hello Ida,
It’s actually a feature of the theme: the comment link is not shown until there is at least a comment.
The reason is that I have observed that many blogs don’t have comments, hence the link “0 comments”, repeated ad infinitum, might seem inappropriate…
Anyway, you can easily obtain a leave a comment (or else igjen en kommentar) link under each post editing the index.php file, just replacing the following code:
< ?php comments_number('','1 comment','% comments'); ?>
…with this:
< ?php comments_number('leave a comment','1 comment','% comments'); ?>
That’s all
Hi there,
I LOVE your template and have used it for a blog hybrid site. I’m a little unfamiliar with having all the settings within one file, but I like it. However, I can usually remove the comments section and in this case I seem to be having trouble with it. Any help with what code I should change/remove would be greatly appreciated! And I agree, you should setup a donate button ~ your work is beautiful.
Hello Jan,
thank you very much for the compliments, it’s a great satisfaction for me.
When I designed Tomorrow, actually, I thought that his kind of architecture would have been the simplest; however, later I found that for most people .. it’s not.
Very probably the next version of Tomorrow will have a classic structure.
For your problem: intuitively, I suggest to disable the comments to posts; feel free to write me in detail, so I can understand and help you better.
Hi,
Nice theme. I just installed it and playing around. I especially like how you’ve structured and commented your code. Very useful for modifying it.

Thank you Stationsarzt!
I’m new to Wordpress and a rank novice at HTML/php
I love the themes’ simplicity. However I’m having a hard time placing a graphic of my site’s logo beside the header. All I get back is the Alt text.
The test blog is at
http://www.allinonefilms.com/AIOFbl-og/
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I figured it out. The Graphic needed to be in the WP root directory, not the theme directory.
David
Hello David, you’ve found the solution before I could answer;
…anyway:
unfortunately, there is a time zone between us
You might want replace the header text with your logo;
Assuming that this is called, for example, “logo.jpg”,
placed in a subfolder called “img” created inside the folder of “Tomorrow”,
you should modify the “index.php” file, so to have:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/img/logo.jpg" alt="All In One Films" /></a>Hello,
Beautiful Theme you made. I just integrated my website in it.
I have only one question: where should I paste the code for another color for the scrollbar. I like to add the next code:
/* SCROLLBAR */
BODY
{
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
}
Thanks for your answer!
Frank
Hello Frank,
thanks for your appreciation.
You should assign those properties to the HTML tag, adding the following declaration to the stylesheet:
HTML
{
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF;
(....and so on...)
}
The scrollbars attributes, however, are supported only by Internet Explorer.
Hello. I just downloaded Tomorrow. I like it a lot, but I would like to simplify even more. Specifically, I’d like to remove all the stuff in the right hand column (“Pages”, “Categories”, etc.) Also, I’d like the date to read “November 3, 2007″. I am very new to this and not sure how to make changes or if it is even possible. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Kirk
Hello Kirk, I’m glad you like “Tomorrow”.
I’m working on the next version, trying to make it a little easier to manage.
For the date format, if you replace the following line of code:
<div class="date"><?php the_time($date) ?></div>
<div class="date"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></div>
the date will be displayed as specified in the Control Panel, in Settings/General /Date format.
For the sidebar: you should edit the code between
<! - RIGHT SIDEBAR ->and<! - END OF RIGHT SIDEBAR ->so to have:<!-- RIGHT SIDEBAR -->
<td id="right_sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Right sidebar') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</td>
<!-- END OF RIGHT SIDEBAR -->
Thank you!!!! (I’ve decided to leave everything alone except for the date format.)
As most others, I compliment you on ‘Tomorrow’ – it is beautiful. Thanks. I’m beginning to use it as front end for a site where I use WordPress 2.8.6 as a CMS rather than a blog: for words, images and media.
It’s a while since I used html and php every day, so I’m having trouble understanding how to: offer visitors the opportunity to comment, make them register the first time they do so, and what I can use the Pages widget for (including its relationship with the database – as you can see, I’ve tried to improvise a login system using Pages, but it doesn’t force registration, or link to a particular post, unsurprisingly, perhaps, or delete the details of anyone attempting to login).
I suspect I’m the cause of most of these difficulties, but would much appreciate your help.
Hello Guy, thank you very much for the compliments
…If I understood correctly your questions (I’m not too sure) you could solve simply through the settings of WordPress. For example, you can have:
Reading Settings/Front page displays: A static page (choose form list)
Or set your blog to have a single post per page:
Reading Settings/Blog pages show at most: 1 post
For the registration thing:
General/Membership: Anyone can register;
Discussion Settings/Other comment settings: users must be registered and logged in to comment.
Finally (this requires more work …) you may plan to use a single “hybrid” layout for the pages and for the posts.
Compatible WP 2.9 ????
Yes, it is compatible.
I downloaded your theme for a online comic strip I m developing. Because my comic strip will be black/white/noir, I would like to change the background to dark, or pitch black. I believe the background color to your them is dark gray.
Is there a way I can change the background color to dark?
Your help would be very appreciated.
Theme Dude
Cool! Keep me informed about your work …
The background color is defined in the stylesheet in the following declaration:
body, select { background : rgb(20, 20, 20); color : rgb(200, 200, 200); }
So, let’s say that rgb(20, 20, 20), corresponding to #141414, is a shade of black.
You can modify this value; to have a black background it will be rgb(0, 0, 0), or #000000.
