A description:
mnml galleria has come into existence simply because I wanted to build my own gallery from scratch. currently, siiimple.com is working off of the fabulous "snapshot" theme designed and developed by the incredibly talented Elliot Jay Stocks.
For me, the first step in theme development is conceiving of a design that I’ve never really seen before. So many themes look so similar, and after awhile, they all run together and to me are very boring and dry and blog-like. So many have jquery slides for slideshows, are broken into two, maybe three columns with the side bar always perfectly organized on the right side alongside the row of advertisements…etc, etc. Not that I’m completely dismissing these themes – some are very, very nice, of course – I’m simply saying I don’t want to create a theme that looks like everyone else’s theme.
So with mnml galleria, I think I’ve accomplished that. This is a theme with options. In the administration back-end area – the layout can be configured in three different ways – ranging from 720px width to 960px width. The images resize automatically to fit the custom width. Each layout is based on a grid (Thanks again Vladmir Carrer for his work on The Golden Grid – a great source of my inspiration!), and each layout has a front-end feature that allows users to choose from 5 different color schemes. This theme is literally packed full of options and functions. I don’t use a single plugin.
Here are some of the features
Built on Elliot Jay Stock’s "Starkers" http://bit.ly/18LPYf
Designed with Vladimir Carrer’s Golden Grid http://bit.ly/B8q8G
Multiple Layout/theme Options (3) – 720px, 840px, 960px
Multiple Color Schemes (5) – Minimalist, Cream White, Dark Night, Simple Stripes, Baby Blue.
Images automatically resize using TimThumb built into the theme – no tweaking required. Download nearly any size image and the theme crops and defines the image automatically.
Custom Write Panel allowing you to link a source of an image directly from the write panel in the back-end.
Twitter integration – showing your twitter followers in the navigation menu.
Mootools slider that slides open to reveal the sidebar, which is Widget ready.
Custom breadcrumbs built into the theme.
Custom Browser Specific Detection
Easy Feedburner URL integration – simply copy and paste your Feedburner Url in the theme’s admin panel.
Custom 404 page that can be altered and updated in the Widget area.
Here are a few screenshots, followed by a working demo:

This theme has just been released as a free theme…if you enjoyed it, we would love it if you spread the word and offered a link back!

looks great like it
maybe i will buy it
thanks, adrian.
Hi Justin
I love this theme! Downloaded it, but its not working.
Wordpress says Stylesheet missed. And there is no style.css in the _minpress file.
Can you help me?
Is it a free theme or do I have to buy it? If so, where?
Anyway, great work.
Greetings from Switzerland.
hi swiss
sorry about that…there was an issue with the download plugin I’m using…try it now…
Now it works! Thanks so much! Beautiful theme.
this theme looks great… unfortunately it doesn’t work. all I get is this error message:
Warning: domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in (…site path…)header.php on line 121
looks like its hanging up on something in the twitter function.
I’ll take a look at it and let you know. First time I’ve heard that issue, so I’ll get back to you.
Did you change the Twitter ID on line 130 in header.php?
I’m getting some problems using the mnml theme over 2.9.2 version of WordPress. The theme setting doesn’t work.
I found the “bug” and it’s not the wp version. Check the header.php file on line 5 and you will find a php tag misspelled (you may just change the
<?with<?php).Thank you for this great theme!
thanks Bogdan, I was just having a look this morning. I will change that right away. glad you enjoy the theme!
Hi there,
love the theme. Have an odd issue where on the 4×3 layout, it’s only displaying 10 images rather than 12.
Hoping you can advise a way to fix
thanks!
L.
Hi Lisa
Not sure why that would be occurring. Except perhaps if you go to Settings -> Reading -> Blog Pages Show At Most … Make sure there are 12 posts, instead of 10, listed in that box. Hopefully that will solve your problem.
Justin
*LOL* – that fixed it. I didn’t even think of looking there!
Thanks heaps!

Thumbnails aren’t working on my site for some reason. I did what you told – made a post with a custom field entitled thumb, where I put the path to the image.
Why is that so?
Tymek,
Not sure why that wouldn’t work…though make sure the path is correct to where you’re storing your images; if the path is off, then the images won’t show up.
Let me know if you still have trouble.
Nope, I’ve copied the path from media library directly to the custom field. It’s this:

Maybe I should upload my images to some other folder? Maybe I have to set some permissions?
Hi -
this is great. The best minimal gallery I’ve seen.
What would you say is the best way to edit the size of the images on the index page?
I like the 3-column layout, but I’d like to make the images a lot longer (they’re in portrait mode).
Thanks for sharing this galleries
Great minimal gallery theme…really cool that you configure the width without fussing with any code/image sizes.
I featured this on my free resource collection site: Resource Hive @ http://resourcehive.com/2010/04/22/mnml-galleria-wordpress-theme-siiimple/
Hi! Lovely theme! I was wondering if there was a way to make another color scheme the default instead of the golden color?
Cheers,
Liz
hey liz,
just go into global.css and change the background color of the body from #FFFEF0 to whatever color you’d prefer.
If you ever wanted to change the name or colors of the separate style sheets go into the sidebar.php file and look for lines 63-67. You can manually change the names there.
hope that helps
Love the theme but can’t get it to function.
Uploaded the theme and got these errors…
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/19/d229294031/htdocs/wp-content/themes/mg/header.php on line 120

Fatal error: Call to a member function removeChild() on a non-object in /homepages/19/d229294031/htdocs/wp-content/themes/mg/header.php on line 114
any help?
Well… I did some searching on the net for that issue.
came across this string, — allow_url_fopen = On ; –
Not sure what it is about this theme that I had to do that in the php.ini file but It seems to be working now.
Never had an issue like that before.
I will let you know if it acts up again.
Hi Justin,
Thank you for this theme. I love it. The thumbnails worked nicely. I only have one silly question: “how do i switch color schemes?” I don’t seem to find an option in the Mnml Galleria Options.
Hi Red
You can change the color scheme on the front end, under the “navigation” menu. Or you can go into layout.css and change it in the body section.
Glad you like the theme.
Justin
The theme looks so nice!
But i have a question.
I see the “Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Licence” that says, that i should not transform or build upon this work.
But what means this? Sorry I’m german!
Could I get such thing like an OK, to transform it or anything in this way? Or is there no chance? It would be very nice and wonderful! I would be very thankful.
Blue
Hey Blue
It’s okay to transform it. No problem. I should probably remove that license.
I love your theme, but I’m getting the following error:
Warning: domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in /homepages/4/d243885542/htdocs/FavoriteNumbers/wp-content/themes/mg/header.php on line 121
It looks like someone else had the same error but I haven’t changed anything yet.
Thank you!
I believe that is an issue with not yet choosing a layout in the settings. You’ll get that error if a layout hasn’t yet been selected. Let me know if that doesn’t resolve it. Thanks!
Thanks for responding. I selected 2-column in mnml galleria options and the width adjusted but I still have the same error. Thanks again!
Hi Andrea
That’s an issue with the Twitter script that displays the number of Twitter followers. If it persists you may have to delete that script which begins on line 99 and ends on line 127. In the header section.
Thanks much Justin. I had to delete through line 130 (or 131?) and now it works! I’m looking forward to working with it.
Hi!
Thanks so much for a great theme. I know you hear that a lot but I just had to let you know.
I’m trying to use the theme as a framework. While I was initially drawn to the MooTools feature, it turns out that it doesn’t fit my purpose. In fact, I’d like to scrub the entire top navigation menu. How might I do that without affecting the layout and functionality of the rest of the theme? (I’m going to use a jquery sliding panel for navigation instead.)
I’d appreciate if anyone had the time to respond. Thank you!
@Opal: You can remove lines 136-140. And remove the mootools script on line: 27. In the header.php file.
The navigation menu that has the mootools slider is the < ?php the_sidebar(); ?> function, so you can place that where ever it fits your needs.
Hope that helps!
Justin
Wow! Thanks for the fast reply!
Hey Justin, great theme!
I need a bit of help, as I am a bit dull!
I’m trying to change the theme in the backend, the same as @Red posted. Your solution was:
“Or you can go into layout.css and change it in the body section.”
layout.css is blank apart from “/*Silence*/”
What would I need to add/edit to get the theme to default to simple stripes?
Thanks for publishing your theme
@Joe: Add this to your global.css stylesheet: body{background: url(“images/stripes.jpg”);}
That should do it.
