A variation on the popular PinBlack theme, this one in blue 
Like PinBlack this is totally inspired by Pinterest, and features home and archive pages laid out in that familiar pinterest style. To ensure each post has a thumbnail for the home page just make sure you upload a featured image for each post.
very amazing theme like it alot
dead link?..pls, reupload…thanks
Loving this new theme for our latest project. Just one tweak if you don’t mind us asking.
We would love to have the pin style posts on the from page show an extract of the content of the post, perhaps say the 1st 20 characters. Is there any way that we could do this.
Many Thanks
Just wondering why the images in my theme have split off into two pages instead of continuing to scroll down the page? Is it supposed to do this?
Hi Fiona, in the WP Admin under Settings > Reading you can define the number of posts per page to display. By default this is set to 10 which is the number on your site. You can set this to any number you like, but I wouldn’t suggest making this more than say 50 or your page will take longer and longer to load. Hope that helps.
Is it possible to have feature like PINTEREST that automatic fetch the data append at the end of page until nothing can be fetched… ?
Hi Tee, you mean the infinite scroll feature? You could try implementing a plugin like this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/infinite-scroll/ – I have not tried that so do not know how well it will play with this theme. but it would be worth a try.
No i have tried it, doesnt work simply into it, will need some changes
I love the set up of this theme but the images from my post are not showing up on the main home page. Can you tell me how to fix this?
Hi Jeremy, for the images to appear on the home page and archive pages you need to set the featured image for each post. See bottom of the right hand column of the post edit page.
I have the opposite problem; my featured images are showing on the home page but not on the posts which use them. Any ideas why?
Hi Steve, setting the featured image doesn’t automatically add the image to the post itself, it only sets the image for the slider and grid view. You still need to insert any media/images to the post in the usual way.
I love this theme but I would like to request pink color. (pinkpin)… how can I request it?
Hi, we can absolutely do a custom variation of the theme. If you are interested please submit a quote request here: http://wpthemes.co.nz/free-custom-theme-quote/
I really like this theme, and am using it on the linked site. Are you planning any more colors? I have a series of sites I’m building, and would love to use a different color on each one
Hi, no plans at this stage, but a theme in this style which allowed you to choose from a variety of color schemes might be quite useful eh. Will think about that.
I may be able customize the color myself simply by adjusting the hue of all the components. As long as that is OK with you.
Absolutely fine with us. Make sure you drop us a link to check out the finished product.
Will do, thanks for releasing this impressive theme free.
sir u do perfect job u make this theme very good .but sir i face one problem.
adsense have a yellow background
and i nothing found ins in css to solve the problem….so plz help me…..thanks
Hi, can you please provide a link to a page where I can observe this problem. When I look at your site it appears ok.
the yellow background is probably from their adsense code inserter not from PinBlue.
I like the top menu which is not offered on the Pinsomo theme I’m currently using, so I may switch over to the Pinblue Theme.
Can I show only Category Links I choose to display in the top menu area? (Went I previewed Pinblue it displayed lots of my page title text).
If so, (and without know how to write code) is there a way to create unique links for each Category in the top menu for each page I display, or do I need to create a sidebar menu with separate links for each page I want to direct visitors to?
Hi Jay, there sure is. The theme supports custom menus so you can control exactly what links appear in the menu (even add external links) and what the link text is. Go to Appearance > Menus and create a menu, assign it to the main menu spot and edit it as you like.
Hi again,
I got some feedback from users of my site regarding iphone display problems with PinBlue. They took some screenshots for me, linked below for your interest.

Hi, yes I am aware that this theme isn’t ideal on mobile browsers. It scales ok for tablets, but no so much for mobile. I would recommend using something like the WP Touch plugin to serve a mobile optimized version for handset sized browsers.
Hi i would like to show a sidebar with categories in the first page (index.php). Can you help me? Thanks
Hi Thiago,
That would require a lot more coding than just a regular tweak. I would suggest getting in touch with a WordPress professional who can help you out as what you ask would require adding in custom features to the home page. If you’d like us to handle the custom change, feel free to shoot us a message http://wpthemes.co.nz/contact/
Oh yeah, have you tried to set a static page for your front page? See if that’s what you wanted? Go to Settings -> Reading then on the option that says “Front Page Displays” select “A Static Page”. This will give you option to select which page you’d like to show on the front page. This will also have a sidebar.
Thanks for the latest update. The menu works really well, especially if you have many pages/categories.
Hi there,
I love this theme! But I have one question: how do I change the settings so that more than 8 posts show up on the title page? I now have 9 posts and no matter how I tweak it, it puts the oldest post onto page 2 — even though there is clearly room for it on page one. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Jeff
Hey Jeff,
Go to Settings->Reading, then look for the option labeled “Blog Pages Show at Most” setting. It should have the value 8 as per the issue you are having. Default value is 10.
Worked like a charm. Many thanks Ryann.
Is there any way to get images to pop up when pasting links or using “press this?”
Hi John, I’m afraid the theme doesn’t support this behaviour out of the box. You might be able to find a plugin to help with this.
Hello and thank you for a beautiful theme.
I have installed wordpress on my PC and try to set up a new blog for my fishing diary. Everything is perfect except for the size of the posts on the homepage, and that you only get a picture for every post.
I would like to change it so the posts are wider and I get some of the text from my post shown too. I have searched through the code but PHP is new to me and I just can’t find anywhere to change width of main page posts or get a draft of the text together with the picture in the main posts.
Hi Christian, to change the theme around like this you will need to do some fairly fundamental changes to the theme templates and style sheets, to the extent that you might be better off looking for another free theme which is closer to the end product you are going for. You are free to tweak this theme in any way, but the changes you describe are really more than a few small code changes.
Please also not that if you do plan to change any theme that you should first set it up as a child theme so that any subsequent updates released by the theme author do not overwrite your customizations.
Hi Charles, The theme is fantastic. Great work! A variety of color scheme, as mentioned here before, would be a perfect option. You certainky would reach a larger group of users.. It is the only thing missing
Thanks for the fantastic Theme !
Hi John, more color options is a good idea. You’ll notice on our new themes (coming soon) that we are including this option, so if we have time we might go back to the drawing board and create a version of this theme with that flexibility.
Love this theme but when I installed it to replace my previous theme, all my posts are no longer displaying the featured image – text is ok though. Videos are ok – just featured image not showing.
Hi Stever, I presume your previous theme used the featured image in the single post template. PinBlue doesn’t do this…it only uses the featured image for the home and archive page thumbnails. You need to add images to the post separately. We do this on purpose so that you have maximum control over images…you can decide what is used as the thumbnail and then put what ever other images you may want to in the post itself.
Thanks for this nice theme! I use it now for my new project and I like it!
I love this theme. But, I can’t seem to figure out how to insert my logo at the top of the page. Also, my advertising is not showing up on my posts. Can you help me? You can see what I mean if you follow this. http://www.hopAmerica.com.
Hi Michael, there is no feature to upload your own logo on this theme (at this time). You will need to edit the theme template, header.php to achieve this. Look for the div id=inner-header and replace the content of that div with your logo. Please make sure you have set up the theme as a child before making changes so future updates don’t overwrite your local changes.
Thanks, I will look into it.
notice: just remove one h form the link on the red button “download theme”. it’s starting now with hhttp://
Thanks Mihai, that’s been fixed.
Great theme, but I can’t add any new page (if I create a new page, it does not appear on the menu – even “Home” does not show) – or is that a problem with my settings? Thanks!
I suspect that you have created and assigned a custom menu (under Appearance > Menus in admin), yes? If so you need to manually add new pages to the custom menu.
Hi Charles,
This is a great looking theme. I am obviously trying to do something pinterest-esque or even Wanelo.com. I can’t figure out how to get all the photos to show up next to each other…I can only seem to get them blog-like, one on top of the other. Obvious side-note that I am not a whiz with programming. Everyone else on this blog seems to not be having a problem. Thanks!
Hi @jill,
Thanks for using our theme.
Yeah the sites seems pretty minimal, to refer on that site, follow the ff. steps
1. open index.php at line #13 that contain item DIV for lists of posts thumbnail
2. since you only need the posts thumbnail you can remove
headerandfootersection.3. the item CSS code is at style.css on line #375 you can remove
padding, border, backgroundto suit your need.Hope that helps.
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the response. While I managed to find “index.php” and “style.css”, I really don’t know what I am doing. I basically deleted everything from index.php because it was all related to header and footers, and now my site doesn’t work.
I also deleted some instances of the words, padding, borders, and backgrounds from style.css and have no idea if I did it correctly or not. Any idea of a more simple way to help me understand? Bottom line is I shouldn’t be messing around in there when it is a completely foreign language to me
I guess I am going to reinstall the theme intact and start from scratch.
Thanks so much!
@jill,
No it’s not, index.php didn’t contain all things you need to remove, it also contains posts thumbnail, also index.php should not be empty as it is one of the WordPress important theme files.
Yeah better re-install the theme and only remove what I’ve say, review my first reply above.
