Hey, this is a very nice theme but after I download it, it doesn’t install on my wp blog for some reason
For some reason, I get an error message saying there is no stylesheet when I upload this theme to my account. Help?
Hi Jenni
The theme is beautiful, i installed it and so far it’s Ok, except the portfolio page mechanism. I can add portfolios, and i see that there should be an option somewhere to collect them on 2 or 3-column portfolio page, but I cannot find anywhere in the wp admin menu to create this summary page (and along with that, adding to the main menu, neither). Please help, should this page have a specific name, or should i set it up somewhere in the code? Thank you in advance!
Hi Jennifer,
Congratulations for this incredible theme!
I don’t know why, but on the preview I get the following message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1
Best regards,
George
Have you ever edit this file? Or you can replace it with the original file…
Hi Jennifer, thanks for the quick reply.
No, I didn’t edit any file. I’ve just re-downloaded and re-uploaded the theme again.
Let’s see what happens.
Thanks!
Very nice template, don’t believe it’s free.
Duy last post: The Font Game – Rare and interesting game for designers
great template thanks for sharing
Hi Jennifer, just to let you know that the Nav Bar works fine in Firefox and Opera but got problem in Chrome and Safari.
Duy last post: The Font Game – Rare and interesting game for designers
Could you give me more details about your problem? Because It seems worked fine in Google Chrome.
You can see the screenshot of the Nav Menu here
Duy last post: The Font Game – Rare and interesting game for designers
Oh, It’s bad, maybe there’re some problem about Css margin, but when I test it on my Google Chrome browser, everything’s fine:

uhm…I’m using Mac, probably that’s the reason of the difference.
Duy last post: The Font Game – Rare and interesting game for designers
I am having the same problem as George.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1
I have not modified anything. Just uploaded, went to activate it and got this error.
Jamie last post: Jamey Johnson — The Guitar Song
Well, I don’t know what it happen to you, seem this problem is unresolved :(
I got the same syntax error as both of them.
Hi, very nice and complete theme. Hard to believe you’re giving it for free. Thank you.
I have a question, don’t know if you can answer it: can I do a child-theme of theproton or is there a trick?
I’m not managing to do it the usual way.
Of course, you could do it :)
heyy Jennifer,
nice theme you have created. kudos from me. I am retweeting it :) I love it when people release quality work for free!
I have also created one theme ‘Portraiture’. You can check it at: http://portraiture.neerajkumar.name
cheers!
excellent theme, well done Jennifer!
Really nice theme.. Menu is very nice, beautiful font selection and proper representation of it. Thanx for providing it for free..

Rocky last post: How to- Get the Thumbnail of the First Image from the Post and Display it in WordPress
Hello, Jennifer. Love your theme very much. However, I too got the message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/ruzihaos/public_html/wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1.
Can you please explain how to load the theme? When I unzip theProton.zip, there are four more files to be unzip. Do I need to upload all files or just TheProtonMainFile?
Appreciate your help very much. Have a nice day!
Ruzie last post: How to do Print Screen
Really nice theme! Couldn’t believe it is for free, nice job.
One question, is it also possible to include categories in your portfolio? Like a category for photography and one for design?
The solution for —- unexpected T_VARIABLE in /wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1—- is simple!
1 – Make a backup copy;
2 – delete from server the proton template;
3 – Make a new fresh upload files proton’s;
4 – Use the backup and put the changes in newest files;
This occurs because the code of archive shuffle…
Sorry about english…
And…. Thks Jennifer is a beautiful theme!
Nice solution!
That sounds too scary for someone not so techie like me. How I wish the downloading is made simpler like downloading any other themes. You simply download one file, unzip it & upload in FTP.
Really wish I could use this wonderful theme… :-(
I got clue. This error is coming in 2 situations.
1. You are uploading Demo site. OR
2. When you Unzip and Upload it.
I directly uploaded zip Main file to Theme folder and used NetFTP to unzip it there. Then it worked. I don’t know why it is happening but it is the simplest solution. Don’t Unzip and upload. First Upload then Unzip. Don’t Upload Demo site by mistake.
Regards.
Now someone will please look into my Prob? Posted at end.
I guess you already know but your theProton demo is not working.
Demo dont work!
Error 404: http://www.intenseblog.com/theproton/
Missing Stylesheet and more..
I thought someone was hacked into my website and modified the homepage, so it was fixed.
thank you!
this theme looks pretty cool
nice work jennifer! ;)
but the “learn more” button on frontpage is a little bit outside and breaks the bottom line
try this on ID:
#call_action { padding: 5px 20px 20px 20px }
looks better, without stylebreaks.
tested in IE8, opera 10, chrome, ff3
padding-top with 20px is to much :)
great template thanks for sharing
Hi i want to install the theme but i get this error
Fatal error: Class ‘Walker_Nav_Menu’ not found in /home/blabla/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/proton/function/extra.php on line 50
can anybody help me with this ? please email me back or comment my comment
thanks a lot !
Perfect theme
You could try replacing your extra.php file with the original one.
Hi Jennifer ! Now i do not get an error but if i preview the theme in my wordpress admin theme it is all messed up . I do not see any photos and i do not see the content… I just uploaded the proton main file folder to the themes directory but it seems to be not working?
Hi Jennifer,
Firstly thanks for such an amazingly powerful Theme, I’m trying to use all of the features availble within your theme but probably need some guidance – do you have a little tutorial I could read? I’m interested in how you put Theproton at the top left of the page, how you put descriptions underneath the menu headings at the top, how the Different Jquery Slider works and do I need a specific gallery plugin to do so. This may seem like novice questions Lol but I’m really interested in making the site my own – http://www.jkinspiration.com or http://www.gallery.jkinspiration.co.uk is one that I’ve already modified.
Jermaine
Thank you for your interesting in my theme, you could find all of your question’s answer in my theme TheProton_Documentation.zip file.
You’re welcome. Thanks for the tip, where would I find that file, could you post the link please – as I cant find it on this page at all.
Here is yours http://www.mediafire.com/file/ene224z964b22o4/TheProton_Documentation.zip
Hi Jennifer,
I’m brand new to WordPress, and website building. Lately I’ve been searching for a nice WP theme, and your Proton theme caught my eyes. I just finished my ebook on healing individually and globally, and I want to promote and sell my ebook on my site, so is it possible to do that with your Proton theme? I’d like to put a video on the site, and also be able to receive donations/money for healing Mother Earth thru promoting the book and its ideas. Thanks a bunch. Love, Light & Joy.
Farbod
Well, your website has a great idea, that you can use my theme :)
I’m having trouble using theproton with IE6. The jqueryslidemenu doesn’t work good (flickering/no-sticking bug), neither the home slideshow (can’t see the images). Do you have any clue on why this is happening (and what we can do to solve it)?
Also: how do you insert an image gallery in a post with theproton, is there a shortcode for that?
Thanks.
7! Sorry, of course IE6 has problems (with every theme…). I meant I’m having trouble using theproton with IE7.
Do you try install the demo file yet?
Sorry, I had to put the site offline and can’t show you the problem with IE7. But I was getting something similar with the demo here in intenseblog.com.
OK, I managed to put it on-line now. Regarding problems with IE7, which I also found in your demo here.
The jqueryslidemenu doesn’t work good (flickering/no-sticking bug), neither the home slideshow (can’t see the images). Do you have any clue on why this is happening (and what we can do to solve it)?

(PS: The site is not completed, credits are not atributed yet. But they will.)
Hi Alvaro, as what I saw on your website, the slideshow works ok, for the image gallery in the post, I were using shortcode, you could check the demo theme for example.
Jennifer R last post: Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide
Thanks Jennifer. Which browser did you use?
You have no problem with the slideshow nor the menu?
Yes, no problem here, I use latest version of Firefox, Chrome and IE8
Wow! Can’t imagine this is a free theme! What a wonderful and clean design! Not only I liked the homepage appearance, I must appreciate the single post page design too!
Really, it is very complete. So many options to suit everyones need.
I will try it for sure. So many customizations…. I cant believe that it is free.
I hope, I can put adverts on main page.
aaa…
Can you please look into this?
http://www.ijustutter.com
Things I have tried so far;
- Renamed thumb.php to timthumb.php
- Updated timthumb
- added .htaccess
- CHMOD to cache and temp to 777 and 755 both.
- Added 6 posts with full specs.
And all the combination of above. But It is still not showing totally.
Menus are absent, most of the thumbnails and part are absent.
My server is enabled for GD Php, Write Mod and security locks are disabled
What to do to fix it. Exact settings for Proton Panel will be appreciated also.
Please help.
- Please don’t renamed thumb.php file.
- A theme may looks strange when first uploading because the missing of the content.
That’s ok. But first and currently everything is default including filename and versions. The Menus aren’t also appearing…
Any clue?
Available is the multilanguage file of this theme? He really is a beautiful work. Congratulations.

I was having issue after issue when I first installed this, decided to delete my entire WP install and uploaded the demo, fixed a few things in the SQL and deleted or changed what I needed or didn’t need in the content and it’s working just fine for me.
Hello Jennifer,
I´ve seen a demonstration of the used shortcodes on your demofile! But i can´t find any codeexamples of them!
You simply need to log-in as Admin account and then edit that sample post to find out how the shortcodes was used, good luck.
Hi jenn, i already install the demo site on my localhost. But every time i try to login, it refer to http://www.intenseblog.com/theproton/wp-login.php. So i cant login with username : admin and password :admin.
Thank You
This’s my mistake. So you can edit the .sql file of my theme, find and edit http://www.intenseblog.com/theproton/ to http://yourdomain.com/
Hope that helps
Hi,
I’ve just checked out the demo. I’m blown away ^_^
Great theme, keep up the good work.

Hello Jennifer, great theme but i cant activate it. After i upload it to wordpress 3.1 no preview is available and activating it causes the site to crash until i delete the folder of proton. Please let me know if if there is anything else i can do.
Thanx…
It’s strange, could you install it on localhost website?

custom and custom_single
custom – edit this file just for the home page top navigation
custom_single – edit this file for all pages top navigation
Hope this help, if you need any assitance, drop me a message through my website: http://www.innov8graphics.com/

Sag last post: How To Choose Gaming Mouse
I don’t know what you mean when I offer this theme for free :)
“The theme is free to use in personal and/or commerical projects but the linkback to Intenseblog.com is required.”
- I don’t have problem with your backlink on my page, but I would like if it is not in front of y eyes all the time. So I just want to ask if we are allowed to put your link whereever we like? I don’t want to be rude or something by asking this, but I run into few themes where I was not able to remowe huge link from footer, so I had to give up from a good looking theme. Hope you will get what I am trying to ask here. BTW I tried a lots of WP theme on my blogs, but this one is incredibly beautiful! Congrats!
Sag last post: How To Choose Gaming Mouse
very nice theme really beautiful
I can’t seem to get this theme to work. I uploaded the theme to the server and unzipped it there to get past the T_Variable error but now the theme displays but not readable. Images seem to be all over the place.
Is there anyway to create a diferente footer menu from the main?
Downloading the theme. :D
Thanks for sharing.

Sorry for my english
Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the professional theme. Could you please upload the sample data you used in the demo so that any non-techie can download and install?
Even this will help a techie person too to quickly modify the theme to production.
Regards,
Shan Kris
hello, I want to know how you can add the link “read more” in a post??
I have added in the body of the post, but not shown in the front.
You should use “more” (not read more)tag whan creating a new post.Hope that helps.
Sag last post: How To Choose Gaming Mouse
Unfortunately, the portfolio paging mechanism is broken. The fix is to change the custom post query to the following (the only error in the original was failure to declare and set the $paged variable so you can choose to only add that line):
$type = ‘portfolio’;
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
$args=array(
‘post_type’ => $type,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘paged’ => $paged,
‘posts_per_page’ => 9,
‘caller_get_posts’=> 1
);
$loop = null;
$loop = new WP_Query();
$loop->query($args);
Next, change the paging function to the following (I assumed usage of the wp-pagenavi plugin. Feel free to change it to the default WP pagination if necessary). The error in the original was using $wp_query rather than $loop as the holder. Also, wp_pagenavi needs the original query to do the pagination correctly.
max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
$loop ) ); } ?>
Other than this fix, awesome theme. Thanks!
ciao! when i try to install the theme from .zip via wordpress its going all the way to 100% but then the window open to an error page saying:
are you sure you want to di this?
please try again
any idea what should i do?
Download the theme and extract it to your local machine. It has documentation included which WordPress will error out during install. Just upload the theme installation file and you will be good to go.
This seems a great theme, I would love to work with this theme and try to customize according to my needs.

It’s time to finaly install and try out this beautifull theme!

Can’t make it to change a logo.png. I can’t finde it. So I need some instructions. Thank all for help.
Sag last post: How To Choose Gaming Mouse
Its a very cool theme, but saddly is all broken.
You upload it by ftp, by zip and all ending into broken layout.
I pass.
I don’t believe Jennifer has created this theme. This theme is strikingly similar in every aspect of premium themes from kriesi.at I have purchased Kriesi’s themes and I know the extensive documentation he provides with every theme and that is where I have discovered that this TheProton theme is very difficult for Jennifer herself to code out.
I’ve also read the comments and it seems Jennifer does not appear convincing in her replies to solve any code issues encountered by users who have tried to test this theme.
This theme is too good to be truly free!
You’re so funny, of course, you can ask Kriesi about my theme, I don’t afraid because I do it myself a along time ago, the only reason that I haven’t answer any problem here (and also for this blog) is because I’m very busy with my premium plugin: http://www.wpsubscribers.com, maybe you want to check this plugin.
So when I’ve more free time, I’ll get back with this blog soon.

Absolutely agree. It’s a very unprofessional behavior :(
Hi Jennifer,
I’m a newbie to WordPress, and currently would like to build my first website. I’ve been searching for a great and free WP theme, and your Proton theme just caught my attention. I’ve downloaded the theme but when I tried to activate it I got the error message “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1″. I have even tried out following the steps shown by Angelo dos Santos and Mrinal Buddekar but I still got the error message whenever I tried activating the theme. I really love to use your theme for my site and I wish you could me out. Thanks and keep up the good works.
Hi, Jennifer!
Just would like to say that I have just posted a comment regarding your awesome theme on http://www.bloggingtechnews.com/wordpress/themes/best-free-premium-html5-wordpress-themes/. How could they miss your great theme.
Hi Jenni,
First time here.
Just wanted to say congrats on the theme, it looks really impressive.
I’ haven’t tried it yet, but wii do so in the near future.
Keep it up!

I noticed there are 4 zip files and I uploaded via FTP the protonmain file, and it was succesfully installed as a theme but no images. http://www.mybrothersgift.com What are the real steps to install this successfully , with your default images on it?

Does anyone know of a way to make this theme look nice on a 1024px wide monitor? I’ve been poking around and it looks like an absolute nightmare to fix.
Also, does anyone have a fix for the jquery dropdown menu issue in IE6 & IE7 which Alvaro brought up?

Hey, thank you, you have a nice web design :)
hello jennifer, i just wanted to start off by saying that this theme looks amazing and thanks so much for making it free! im having issues with installation, when i run install.php, i get the below error. also, i checked the error log, and it says:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/highcoup/public_html/intenseblog.com/theproton/wp-content/themes/proton/index.php on line 86″.
i did take a look at index.php, but its only a few lines long since it then calls another file, so its hard to tell where the error is. also, all i did was edit the config file for my database, and i’ve installed wp before, so not sure what the problem is here. could you please take a look and let me know if there’s anything that i’m doing wrong? thanks in advance!

Hi Jennifer,
I’m trying to integrate an online shop into my Proton themed site called WP Online Store – in one of my other sites it plays nicely: http://www.jennyadamsphotography.co.uk/eshop but in mine it seems to skew the margins somehow… http://www.jkinspiration.co.uk/eshop I realise that this is most possibly a theme issue but wondered where I’d start looking to remedy the problem as all other pages and portfolios are displaying as they should.
If you could shed any light it would be appreciated.
Thank you
Jermaine
Does anyone know how to add images to the featured slider? Couldn’t seem to find anything in the documentation, and I wasn’t sure if I need to tag featured posts, add them to a specific category, or perhaps add a custom field to get them to show up in the slider. If anyone’s done this already, tips would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much for such an amazing theme, Jennifer!
Never mind, I just realized that I can’t feature pages, only posts apparently, and all the options for featuring them are right on the add new post page. My fault!
Hi Jenni,
This is a beautiful theme. At first I was having trouble with installation, but finally uploaded the archive and unzipped after uploading. Now, it seems to be working fine…except for one thing.
I frequently get errors of this type:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home4/thisisze/public_html/wp-content/themes/proton/function/extra.php on line 182
…with certain plugins I have tried to use. It always has something to do with the extra.php file. I have not made any changes to this file, but tried re-uploading the original, and it did not make a difference.
Any suggestions?
elegant theme. :)
Hello,
I am having problems with the proton theme displaying on IE9. The widget titles disappear when page loads. How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Beautiful design, thanks!
I fixed the IE9 titles issue by updating the Cufon javascript in proton/javascript to version 1.09i.
I’m having that same error when I try to activate the theme as other have mentioned above.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/07/8323107/html/wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1
I’m creating a brand new website, no content or anything on it yet. I just downloaded the theme from your website and first uploaded the folder inside the TheProton_Main_File.zip file. Then I saw someone else s post and tried uploading the zip file and unzipping it on the FTP which didn’t seem to make any difference.
I would really like to use this theme but it doesn’t work. I’ve haven’t changed any files at all. Just downloading and uploading on my site. Since I am not the only one with this problem I would greatly appreciate a resolution. I will tell you any further details you need just let me know. Thanks very much.
It seems like you have hosted your site on Linux server
I think you are getting this error, because your website is running on Linux server. Please check
I had installed the them on windows and it was working absolutely fine. After switching to Linux server. The moment I switched to Linux Server, I started getting the same error{Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /wp-content/themes/proton/admin/post-options-list.php on line 1} .
I think this theme does not support Linux server technology
No No, I don’t think so, because the demo website is running on the Linux server.
I am using a linux server, but if the demo is on linux I suppose that’s not it. Are there any specifications to the hosting I should be using?
Thanks for the input!
Oh, there’s no specifications to the hosting, just an Apache server with Cpanel installed for easier setup the website.
Hi Jennifer,
first of all: THIS THEME IS AWSOME!!!
Thx so much for this free version.
And now my problem:
I also can´t get the demo site working :(
So could u pls send me the shortcuts also….
This would be incredible.
Thx in advance
Jenni, you’re so nice. :)
thank you. :)
These seems are worth a try! it is awesome!
Hi Jenny!
These are pretty cool themes. I haven’t tried it before and I’m glad that they are free.
Mike Geary last post: Lebensmittel, die schlank machen
I am brand new to web design and am having the worst time with something that must be so easy. I got the Proton theme installed into WordPress without a problem (it’s beautiful Jenni R., thank you!). However, when I try to put in a slideshow, it’s an utter failure. I go to edit my home page and click on the ‘insert image’ icon. I upload a bunch of jpeg’s… click save… but then there’s no option for “insert slideshow”. It’s driving me nuts!
I know this is probably the most idiotic question anyone here has seen in ages, but if someone could please help me with this, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hello:)
I apologize for my english:)
Beautiful them..
I am a beginner in WordPress and I used the last few days on your thema. I’m stuck whit slider on the home page.
I read the documentation but it is really impossible for me to understand. Please explain to me on the beginer level.
i tryed to install the demo site and it doesnt work can you help with this.
thanks
The greatest design I’ve been looking for days.
Thanks very much indeed, Jenny.
Your work is highly appreciated. :)
Here I am again…
I just installed theproton in my blog. Similar to some of the above commentators, I found difficulties in applying shortcodes.
It might be better if you share to us a kind of downloadable file explaining how to use the shortcodes.
I’d blame myself if I didn’t use your nice shortcodes.
Thanks in advance..

Cause there is no problem in posts, but I can’t do it on pages, except if I do it manually on the php file… but I was wondering if there was an easier way??
Thanks..
Having trouble using this theme, specifically gettting it to show up in my wordpress dashboard. Can anyone help me out with this? I’m using godaddy as my host, and they have an ftp manager, where I can browse files on my desktop and upload to the database
“The theme is free to use in personal and/or commerical projects but the linkback to Intenseblog.com is required.”
How can this requirement be waived? Do you make exceptions? Is there a paid version?
Thank you.
i caanot get slideshow to work properly plz let me know how to do so. my url is http://www.p.codechefs.com
Hi Jennifer,
First of all: Thank you very much for providing this beautiful theme. I am having trouble using your demosite in order to see what settings you used to create this website. Do you have any guidelines on how to install the demosite? Strangely, uploading the content of “protonDemo” to my wordpress directory does not seem to be enough. When I do this, none of the sample posts and pages are visible on my website. Thank you!
Awesome theme, too hard to believe its free. Upon activation, it shows the Learn More button twice on every post. The slider when hovered upon moves by default. But for the posts, it appears twice, one on the left and one on the right. How do I fix this?

Hello,
Thanks for the theme, very nice but i can’t get the shortcode to work properly :(
Do you have a concrete example of how to insert short codes into a blogpost?
thanks
Very Nice theme Jenni.
they are many free pemium worpress themes are available. can you tell what is different in this from all of them
Are the PSD’s necessary? It makes the file quite big…
Dear Jennifer,
I’m trying to implement your fantastic PROTON theme. Everything works like a sound. But, on the homepage (which I described as ‘latest post’ because of the jquery slide feature) I do NOT want to show my latest posts (featured and all), but JUST POST FROM A CERTAIN CATEGORY (sas ID=16). In that case I’m able to just show (featured) posts I want to.
However: If I’m coding something like …. …. everything is lost,included the jquery slider.
I think this is because in your theme you have defined ‘latest’ : …. $do_not_duplicate, ‘showposts’ …. and a string: => (int)$theme_admin_latest_num));
if ($latest->have_posts()) : ?>
….
Can you please help me on this matter? I hope I made myself clear, coming from the Netherlands and not very into PHP…
Thanx in advance!

Thank you for reading, hope i’ll find some help here :)
Simply Awesome!!! Superb flexi-theme …Great job guys-n-gals!!!

Hi Jenny,
I just got one question. How do I enable category listing? Cause everytime I go to a category the full posts of that article is shown and I only want it to show a “preview” (e.g. only first paragraph) and it gets the entire post and the entire body … so my category page is infinite… I noticed that in the example it only shows the first paragraph under category listing.. could you help me out here?
Thanks,
I have been changing themes forever on my blog . Right now I’m using thesis which is simple and good for tech blog. I wanted to ask whether the SEO and search engine ranking will be effected if we change a theme?
Hi Jennifer, I absolutely love the theme. I’ll make sure to blog about it.
Hi,
I love this theme!
I just have one question that wasn’t in the tutorial, and I don’t see that anyone else has asked. Is there a way to take off the “most discussed topic” that comes up in the widget sidebar with the blog posts? It’s not listed under the widget menu as an option to take off.
Thanks,
Lisa
Hey guys..Has anyone figured this one out yet??
Thanks,
Lisa
is it possible to remover the footer “Copyright © 2010 the Proton. All rights reserved.
Proudly powered by WordPress – Top” of the templates in case I want to use them ?
and put another one , or none at all ?
thanks
Is this free theme, or have to pay to get it?
Firstly, excellent theme. Very well done.
I have one question and I guess it’s a stupid one.
I see your section for adding portfolio content post but where I just can’t seem to find is how to add the portfolio itself to the menu so I can view it.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
GB
Great work !! I featured this theme in the best WordPress themes of 2011 to promote your work: http://wp.me/p1ZxAg-b2
can someone help me on how to install the demo website on my side in order to make the changes please?im trying more than 10 hours and not possible
After you download the zip, unzip it. This will give you further zips that include the demo and main site themes that you can add in WP.
Hope this helps
For the full width post, is it possible to remove the date and author in the beginninf of the post?
Uploaded and tried to activate The Proton. The following reported:
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
theProton Stylesheet is missing.
Using Yahoo server.
I love the template and all of it’s customization. Is there a way to redirect the slideshow images from the Posts to Portfolio or Pages? Or perhaps to another plugin, like WP-Property?
I get the following errors
Warning: fopen(/home/razykook/public_html/wp-content/themes/theProton/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/razykook/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4339
Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/razykook/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4342
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/razykook/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4345
Any Ideas?

I tried to use this great theme, but when i uploaded and tried to install to my blog, an error message said it didn’t install correctly because the style sheet was missing. Perhaps it is in the wrong folder?
Hi Jenni, I really would like to try the Proton Theme but I’m just wondering, I cant even install the theme to any of my websites. Its always a failure. So far this is the only theme I have encountered a failure installation over and over again without any prompt of incompatibility issues.
What could be the reason? I’m using the latest version of WordPress.
Hi Jennifer,
I’ve just set up The Proton on my site and is doesn’t seem to be working properly. Is it compatible with Worpress 3.3?
I’ve developed this theme a long time ago and didn’t test it with WP 3.3.
Hey folks, it’s working absolutely fine with WP 3.3.1
Check it here at http://www.tclm.in
Jenni, thank you very very much for this wonderful theme. I like every bit of this theme
FWIW, I’ve run into file case sensitivity problems with the main zip file on Linux, e.g. unzipping it gives me lab.min.js but LAB.min.js is referenced from the HTML. I tried fixing a few cases of this, but more keep popping up so I’m giving up.
You might want to verify that you’re using a modern ZIP implementation. I’ve never seen this kind of problem before.
Erm, nevermind. Seems my hosting provider, 1and1, aliased “unzip” to “unzip -L”, sigh.
Thanks once again for the theme. One question though, the theme does not show the unicode characters at all. I use Tamil language in my posts and headings. The characters are not visible when previewing or publishing the posts. The English characters are fine though.

Logon-Rajni
Thanks for sharing! This is really nice theme, most of free themes I have seen on net are just too old and ugly.
very nice theme. I am sure i shall be using and tweaking this.
After uploading on WordPress and click on install it says that “it is missing the style sheet!” Any clues on where this could be?
thanks
R
Maybe there’s a corruption in the uploading process, you can use your FTP software to try again.
Thank you
Jen
Raquelia, unzip the initial ZIP file, then only upload the TheProton_Main_File.zip to the WordPress Theme Installer.
Hi Jenni. This theme is fantastic! It looks great in FireFox and Safari. It looks great in IE9, but it does not show the “call to action” text or the “custom headline” text. Looking at the source code, I can see that it is there. My guess is that they are hidden behind the images where they are located. Is there any way to correct this? Does this have anything to do with z-index? Thanks.
Well, I’ve not tested the theme with IE9, therefor, can’t tell anything to you at this time.
Hi, Jenny. Nice theme – Congrats! I would like to ask how I can make an Archive page where I can see all my posts. I see in the demo that you have Blog category – I have tried this with making all my posts to both their category and Blog category, but I think this is not the most elegant solution. I would also like to know how you made in your Blog category to show only the images of the posts or maybe just the begining of the posts? Is it with Read More break?
Hi jeni !
I’m pretty nub with wordpress and all. I just want to view the demo-site locally, localhost xampp etc. But i don’t know how :(
I would love if you can help me.
Btw amazing Theme!!
I found the problem to why the “call to action”, “custom header” and the single page post titles weren’t appearing in IE9 only. It appears that there is has recently been an update to Cufon to make it compatible with IE9. The version bundled with your theme is v1.09. The version that is compatible with IE9 is v1.09i. Just thought I’d pass it along. Thanks again for you great theme!
Yes, you are right. By replacing 1.09 with 1.09i – all is good in IE9.
This is a great looking theme but I was unable to install due to the style.css file missing. Can this be resolved? I’d really like to use this theme.
Same installation problem here: “style sheet missing”. I’ve tried it every which way but the way which works.
Cancel previous comment-I tried again just installing from WP admin and this time it worked!
Hi Jennifer, I’ve some problem using Your theme.
The attachment page showing blank content without picture.
installed theme, but it failed. Missing style.css.
Any ideas?
my navigation is not showing up. thoughts?
Hi Jennifer, I add my portfolio, but how do I have to list them as unable to set
