Jenny is a premium-quality, free WordPress theme handcrafted to perfection with focus on even minute details. This two-column, multiple-colour, fixed-width minimal theme puts great emphasis on typography. It uses few icons and limited colours with lots of white space for creating an elegant design. (Jenny has been included in WordPress’ free themes repository. That speaks of its quality.)

(See images at the bottom of the page)
Jenny Version 1.5 Last Updated on 29 September 2011 to make the theme compatible with Internet Explorer 9.
Multiple Colour Schemes
Jenny offers you three colour schemes–default blue, plain grey and a combination of red and grey. You can easily switch between the three themes from the theme options page.
Cufon Font Replacements
It makes use of Cufon to use special fonts in headings and a few other places. Even if Cufon fails to get initialized, the theme retains its beauty with more generic fonts.
Great Support For Images
Images are often the loose end in many WordPress themes. Not with Jenny. There’s no possible way you can break the design by adding images. It will scale large images to fit the width of the content area (535px on normal pages and 880px on full pages, without sidebar).
If you have set feature image of a post, it is displayed on home page. If the image is equal to 515px or wider, it is used above the headline as a large image. Smaller images are used as thumbnails, left-aligned inside the post content. On all other index pages such as category, author and tag archives, only small thumbnails are used to enable faster loads.
Jenny is also designed with stress on perfect display of galleries. An attachment template means that gallery images have their well-designed page with a comment form.
Given that most themes have 600px wide content area, it’s suggested you use 600px wide images in posts when using an image to fill the entire width of content area. Jenny will take care of scaling it to meet the design requirements. This way you won’t be losing out if we ever choose to make the content area of Jenny wider, or if you want to switch to a different theme.
JQuery-Enhanced Archives Template
Jenny comes with an archives template which shows last 50 posts, monthly and category archives. All of them are neatly stacked using jQuery. The user clicks open the desired archive and browses to content. This helps in keeping the page clean.
Full Page Without Sidebar
Jenny offers you a full-width page template without the sidebar. It should come handy in creating distraction-free special pages. Use custom styles to unleash the potential of this page template.
Related Posts Thumbnails
To help you engage your readers, the post pages showcase related posts based on the tags of the post. These are displayed with thumbnails at the end of posts.
Theme Options
The theme can be easily customized using the theme options page in your WordPress admin. The options page allows you to set your Twitter and Facebook profiles along with a custom feed URL. You can also remove the extra feeds such as for categories and tags here. It also allows you to add web analytics code and ads on post pages.
Adsense Ready
With Jenny, you can start showing ads on posts pages without the need for any plug-ins. Just paste the code in theme options page. It’s a very basic arrangement, but should be more than sufficient for most users.
SEO Optimized
Jenny makes sure that your website confirms with the basic SEO requirements. All pages with duplicate content have have a “No Index” tag to prevent being added on search engines. However, it’s highly recommended to use a good SEO plug-in to help improve your website’s search engine ranking.
Navigation Menus
The theme supports two custom navigation menus–one for the header and the other for the footer. Use WordPress’ navigation settings page to create and assign the menus for the respective positions.
Basic WordPress Features
It supposts custom header and custom background functions. You can set a header image or text easily.
Custom CSS Styles
Jenny comes with some pre-configured CSS styles that will help users to enhance the content on their blogs and websites. However, you must know basic HTML for using these styles. You can also use your own CSS styles by saving them in the Jenny Theme Options page’s Custom CSS Styles box.
.intro, .intro1, .intro2, .intro3 : These classes can be used for writing intros in the post or highlighting some text inside the copy. Intro1, Intro2 and Intro3 offer you plenty of choices.
.half1, .half2 : Use these classes to divide the content area into two. Use half1 for the first column and half2 for the second.
.third1, .third2, .third3 : Use these classes to divide the area into three columns. Third1 for the first column and so on.
.quarter1, .quarter2., quarter3, .quarter4 : Use these classes to divide the area into four parts; .quarter1 for the first column and so on.
.column : To ensure that there’s no error due to floating columns, wrap all your column divisions in a division with class="column".
Supports All Major Browsers
It works with all versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera web browsers. It doesn’t ignore the devil–Internet Explore. The theme’s design doesn’t break in IE6 and it’s higher versions. The theme uses valid HTML and CSS.
If you find this theme useful, do care to send a few dollars via PayPal to pritam [AT] speckygeek.com. That will keep me motivated enough to continue working on the theme and improve it further. Also, spread the word about it on Twitter, Facebook and other places.

Add Missing Characters in Gnuolane
Are you looking for the missing characters in the Gnuolane font? Jeff Navarro offered us the following solution to add basic latin and other characters.
What we are going to do is re-compile the embedded font, and include the correct characters this time.
- Get free version of Gnuolane from http://www.dafont.com/gnuolane.font and download it to your hard drive.
- Go to http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
- In the “Regular Typeface” field, browse to your newly downloaded Gnuolane file (there is only one weight in this free font, so ignore the other 3 variants). The file name should be “gnuolane free.ttf”
- Important: Where it next says “Use the following value as the font-family of the generated font (optional)”…..that is not optional for us. Enter “Gnuolane” (without quotes).
- Make sure the box is checked for “EULA allows embedding”, i.e., yes, you have permission to do this.
- Check only the boxes for “Basic Latin” (the default) and “WordPress Punctuation” (very important!). You may check any other boxes if you are sure you want those extra characters, but I cannot confirm Gnuolane has all of them. Don’t check more than you know that you need, or else your new font file will be unnecessarily large.
- Any other settings can remain at the default unless you are sure you want to change them. Check the final box (acknowledge Terms)
- Click “Let’s Do This” and download the file to your hard drive.
- Rename your newly downloaded file to “Gnuolane.font.js” if necessary.
- Upload this Gnuolane.font.js file to blogroot/wp-content/themes/jenny/includes/js (replacing the same-named file already there)
Thanks, Jeff.

Very nice and clean theme. Is there any way to get scandinavian fonts working on menus/titles?
Hi, Thanks for liking this WordPress theme. The fonts used in headings are English-only. If you want to use different fonts with this theme, you will have to disable Cufon font replacement. Go to functions.php in the theme folder and delete the Cufon javascript files enqueued there. Also, remove the Cufon javascript code from footer.php. All the best. Cheers
Thanks for the quick response. I’ll try that!
You can alsoo try to use your own font. Read here:
http://github.com/sorccu/cufon/wiki/Usage
I’m trying to display my pages below the header, but unable to figure it out! Can you please explain how to do this in a little more detail then you have written above? Thank you!
Never mind, figured it out!
Nice theme! I installed it but I don’t manage to show “pages”. Most of all, I want the “About” page to appear in the header, just as you have in the photo above. What should I do?
You will have to create your own About page. Please use WordPress’ menu functionality present in the Appearance section to create your own navigation menus for the header and footer sections.
Thanks for creating and sharing a great theme. One question: When I hide the header text and display only an image, the image isn’t clickable and doesn’t link back to the blog’s main page. Is there a way to fix that?
The header image makes use of the WordPress’s in-built feature. At present, it cannot be made a link. You will have to manually edit the theme for the desired result. I can do it for you. Tks
That would be great, but I can’t donate much for your efforts. How would we go about doing this? Or is there a way you could point me in the right direction so I could edit the theme myself? If I end up sticking with this theme, I will of course make a donation for its use.
If you know basic HTML, you should be able to do it. If you want to get it customized, please avail of my cost-effective WordPress consultancy service.
I love the theme but I’m trying to figure out how to disable the sidebar on the main page and for my post to fill the content area (880 px) but I’m lost. Can you help?
Hi Melissa, Good to know that you liked the WordPress theme. It doesn’t allow for a homepage without sidebar, but you can always set a page with Full Page template as the homepage or remove the sidebar tag from index.php. All the best.
Hi,
Great looking theme. Nice and clean.
If I want to edit the default to increase the size of the ‘text area’ and decrease the size of the ‘sidebar’, how do I do that? I guess I have to edit default.css?
Hi Per, You will have to edit the one of the stylesheet (default.css if you are using the default colour scheme) being used by your theme in styles folder to get the desired result. Cheers.
Hi there! I love this theme, but I’m trying to customize my page a bit more. Is there anyway for me to make the sidebar on column? My blogroll and such are appearing in two columns. It’s a fun feature, but I don’t think I like the way it looks with my blog.
Also, I tried to change the custom header size in the themefunctions.php. Now it says it’s the size I want when I go to upload my custom header, but on the actual website it’s still the original size.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks so much!!
Hi Jen, You can always customize the theme using basic CSS. As for the header size, the theme has max-width set for images. See if that’s resizing your image. All the best.
can i change the logo size?? because only exact logo 885 x 85?? The theme, is great !! ;0)
Hi Rafael, A quick alternative would be to create your logo on a 885X85 transparent canvas. Uploading it will meet the size criteria while keeping your actual logo small. All the best.
Love the theme! I’m trying to make the header image taller than 85 px (our logo is square and tall, and is unreadable at only 85px tall), but cannot find where I would change this. Help?
You will have to modify the header codes in functions.php as well as modify the CSS. I can customize the WordPress theme for you. Don’t forget to send some money for all the effort that I put creating the theme and replying to queries
Connect on Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks for your quick response – figured it out
If I end up sticking with this theme (which I think I will), I will be sure to send a donation. It would be more than what it will be, but I am not being paid for my work either

Hi there! Love the theme! It’s so nice and clean! s there a way for me to move the sidebar from right to left? Thanks for your help!
Of course, you can. It will require some serious CSS job though.
It’s Ok. I finally figure it out! Thank you!
Hi, I was wondering how you get the facebook and twitter icons on the top of the page beside the RSS icon like in the above photograph? and how do I make them link to my facebook and twitter page?
Please use the theme options panel on WordPress dashboard. You can find a tab saying “Jenny”. Just explore it to customize your blog.
Sorry, I’m a little bit confused still. I really love this wordpress theme and recommend it to everybody, but can you help me out a bit further?
array( “name” => __(‘Facebook Page’,'jenny’),
“desc” => __(‘Link to your Facebook page, with http://. It will be shown in the navigation bar. Leaving it blank will keep the Facebook icon supressed.’,'jenny’),
“id” => $shortname.”_facebookid”,
“type” => “text”,
“std” => “”),
That’s the script I found for the facebook theme page. But I have absolutely no idea what to edit in order for the facebook icon to appear on the top bar of the webpage.
Nevermind, I figured out that it was on the theme options tab at the bottom of the screen.. Sorry. But thanks!!
Actually, I’m curious if it’s possible to add a button for “Linked In” and other social networking sites up there along with the FB, Twiiter and RSS feed buttons. I have the image created, I just need it to show up with the others in the navigation.
Thanks! Genesis

Hi Jitendra, Use WordPress’ header functionality under the Appearance tab and upload your desired image. Cheers
Nice theme! Is there any way to make the home page only show the first few sentences of a post and [...] read more >> ? Same as the category and tag pages. My posts have many pictures, and now the home page shows all 3 posts and all the pictures. How many posts will show on the home page? Thanks!
The theme will show excerpts on homepage if there’s one. Do that when you are writing posts. It’s better than having the first few lines, which may not always make sense.
hihi! love this theme.. it’s so cool and neat! i just used it on my blog.. but somehow the sidebar, the search form ended up at the bottom instead. i am a total newbie at this and know nuts about css, etc. would really appreciate if you can advise me in details on how to readjust the theme back to how it should look again in layman terms. thank you!
Hi Jean, You can arrange the elements in the sidebar using the Widgets tab available under Appearance tab in the WordPress dashboard. Keep visiting!
hi pritan,
thanks for your reply. i went to widgets and rearranged what i wanted in my sidebar, however the problem was not resolved, everything i changed still ended up at the bottom of the page. please help..
Did you modify the theme? The sidebar has been moved inside the content division.
no pritam, i didn’t modify the theme, or at least i wasn’t aware that i did. but juz to play safe, i deleted the theme and reinstalled it again. but it stlll looks the same. the sidebar is still at the bottom. actually i notice the same problem happens also when i installed another theme. what can be the problem?
Hi Jean, If you find the same problem with other themes as well, the problem lies somewhere else. I can only offer help for this theme here. Please write to me (pritam AT speckygeek.com) in detail. Let’s see if I can be of any help. Cheers.
hi pritam,
thanks, i will email u if i still can’t figure out the problem soon. but meanwhile, i realise another problem that occurs only with this theme: whenever i make a search using the search box of your theme, i am led to my blog’s hosting page. how do i rectify this?
I guess the problem is with your WordPress installation. The theme is working fine at my end.
Hi,
I’m having trouble with the custom menu I have set for my website. Even though I have parent menus set up, there isn’t any drop-down occurring to be able to see the subpages. Could you tell me how to fix this?
Thanks a ton,
Matt
Nevermind, I figured it out.
Hi Matt, Good to know that your problem is solved.
I’d love to know what you did to enable this? Mine has the same problem – sub pages do not drop down.
NM – I also figured it out
For others:
In MENUS – when you add or drag a content type into the list – you can shift that item to the right, making it a submenu of the menu above it.
Hello,
Really enjoying the theme, has a very professional look to it.
I thought you might appreciate this green color scheme I made. It is basically the default bluish scheme, but with every non-gray color changed to a complementary green color. I used the color picker website to choose the colors.
If anyone wants to use this color scheme, you will have to change your site title to #389B21 to match.

Cheers,
Leigh Holcombe
Hi Leigh, Thanks for putting the effort in creating a new colour scheme for this WordPress theme. I will surely consider including it in the next version. Till then others can use it on their own risk.
Keep in touch through Twitter or Facebook.
Pingback: WordPress Theme Releases for 11/18 « Weblog Tools Collection
Hi there!
What can I do to activate this?
I love this theme, and its type. There’s any chance to get accents (and other characters, like “ç”) in title texts?
I have been investigating, and I suppose this title type is the one called GNOULANE. Is that right? If it so, this type has accents and this characters (like “ç”
Thanks!
You are right. It’s Gnuolane Regular, which comes free. If you have a version of the font with glyphs, go to Cufon and create a file. Replace it with the original one. That’s all I can say.
Thanks a lot, Pitram!
It works!!!
Hi Pritam,
I installed Jenny as my new blog theme and I love the way it looks (great design!) but there are a couple of things I don’t understand. You should know I don’t know how to code.
1. Possibly related to the above comment, when the site loads, some punctuation is lost, like apostrophes and ellipses in titles and headings. There’s also a delay between the regular font and the loading of the design font.
2. My sidebar title font loads for every widget on some pages sometimes, and sometimes for none of the widgets, and sometimes for only the first few widgets and the rest are the plain font. (Sorry this sounds confusing.)
Are these problems to do with my computer or some setting I have? Do I need to change something? If so, what and how?
Last one: I’d like to customize a little more (increase header font size, etc., just little things) and can’t find where to do that in the style sheet. It says the style sheets are in the style folders. Sorry for my ignorance, but where do I find those?
Thank you so much for your help. I would really like to keep using this theme!
Hi Steph, The theme uses Cufon to replace headlines and tiltles with Gnuolane font. The free version doesn’t support special characters. If you are having issues with it, just delete the content of cufon-customizations.php file that you will find in the includes folder of the WordPress theme. Hope this solves your problem.
Thank you, I’ll try that!
I’m having trouble getting the two column layout as seen above. The categories are defaulting to the bottom right hand of the screen and the blog content takes up the entire screen. Any ideas?
Hi Jennifer, You will have to share more information about the issue. The theme works fine on my local machine.
Hi! I love this theme, so wonderful and practical! I’m having difficulties with the contact form though, it loads great, appears to send, but nothing shows up in my inbox. I added my email into the contact form section of the Jenny Settings page but it doesn’t work. Any help would be appreciated, I’m so grateful for this feature! fantastic!
Hi Natacha, I have not been able to test this feature as I was working on my local machine which doesn’t have a mail server. Are you getting mails from your WordPress site, for example, comment notifications? If yes, then there must be some issue with the theme. If anyone else is facing this issue, please let me know. I will fix the issue as soon as possible if the theme is at fault. Take care.
I haven’t tried it yet because I’m concerned about the “Send a copy of this email to yourself” button. With no glyph verification or anything, spammers will surely use this form, right? An option to turn that feature off would be great. I don’t want someone filling out random email addresses as “their own” email address and then checking that box.
Thanks!
Jeff
Hi Jeff, I would suggest you use this feature. To remove the “Copy to yourself” feature, delete the following from contact-page.php file in the theme folder:
<p class="checkmail"><input type="checkbox" ...</label></p>You will find it near the end of the page. Do let me know if it worked for you or not. Thanks
I agree – it’s a cool template, and I want to use it. I just didn’t want to give spammers an obvious way to be able to send email through my webhost. Thank you very much for the instructions to remove the button – I’ll definitely give it a shot now
Hi,
Great theme, thank you. My one issue is getting the RSS feed to work – Feedburner can’t find it and nor can NetworkedBlogs on Facebook. I’ve set the feed up as http://ianpaulsharp.co.uk/feed in the theme options – is there anything else I need to do, or can check?
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Ian, I don’t think there is any issue with the theme. Web browsers do show the link in the address bar. When using it with Feedburner, you will have to enter your original feed URL in Feedburner and create a new feed URL that you will add in the theme settings. I hope you are doing it that way. Stay in touch. If you find Jenny helpful, do send a few dollars to keep me motivated.
Thank you for your response, I’m getting it sorted
Welcome, Ian!

Hello; I am looking at using your Jenny theme on my site. As everyone has stated it is a very practical looking layout. If has a freshness that I need to convey the intent of my site. Like other themes that do not display the home page or about page I am wondering how to get these to show in this theme. I do have an “about page” already but it along with the home page do not show. Do I have to delete the existing about page and rebuild it? I’m sure you get tired of answering so many questions about a free item, but if it weren’t for professionals like you we newbies would never get anywhere. Thanks

Hi Gary, You should select the appropriate size while selecting the YouTube code. There are some plug-ins that provide better support for video. Try searching on WordPress.org. All the best. Hope to see you on Facebook. Stay in touch.
I think your theme looks fantastic and is incredibly elegant. I was wondering whether it had limits regarding plugin compatibility?
Thanks for your hard work
Hi Andre, It’s great to know that you like the WordPress theme. For the plug-in compatibility issue, I haven’t received any feedback. I have tried by level best to make it as good as a premium theme. Give it a try and let me know if you face any issues. Don’t forget to connect via Facebook and Twitter.
Hi Pritam, thanks for the reply.
I was trying to get a twitter feed to display in the sidebar and couldn’t to start with but I think the widget was just hidden in the inactive section and seems to be working fine.
It really does stand out as a theme!
One further question:
Is there any way to not show the text links under the post (2 comments, share on facebook reddit etc? It’s a nice feature but I find it means that the comments end up much lower on the page
Thanks again!
Hi Andre, You will have to remove the corresponding code from index.php and other files. All the best.
Love the Jenny theme! I’m using it for my flavouredbeer.org site. I’m having some trouble figuring out the related posts thumbnails, though – right now, they aren’t showing any images from my post, just blue squares.
Any advice on what I should be doing to fix this?
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Karen, It’s a beautiful blog. Loved the pics. The related posts thumbnails are not showing because you haven’t set a “Featured Image” for the posts. Also, posts need to have a tag. Earlier version had TimThumb which allowed the theme to automatically pick an image if no thumbnail was set. Not anymore. You will have to set “Featured Image” for your posts. Stay in touch. Hope to see you on Specky Geek Facebook page.
Thanks so much! I will go in and make those updates. Really appreciate the help. Thanks for the FB info, too – you now have one more “like” from me
Thanks a tonne, Karen. Stay in touch.
Very neat and clean wordpress theme, deserve a place on my blog about blogging, will write a review soon.
Thanks a tonne, Rakesh.
Please do add footer widgets without it no blog theme looks too interesting.
Sorry, but I do not agree with you. A theme need not have options to add loads of widgets. Clean and minimal themes do pretty well. A lot of people like it as it is. Maybe, I will provide the option to add footer widgets in my next templates.
Footer widgets can be used to add twitter feeds and all… i think it looks good too. One can display his introduction there as well.
I would reiterate that all themes need not have this feature. There are a lot of people who don’t want any widgets in footer.
Great theme, but I can’t seem to get any of the lightbox plugins to work. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
I am a newbie and like your theme. My problem is knowing how to edit the code in the header.php to get my twitter and FB icons to open in a new window. Right now (specifically with the twitter icon), the twitter button is not working correctly, For example, in IE, I get: “This content cannot be displayed in a frame.”
I’m providing what I believe to be the code in the header.php, so you can include specifically what I need to change.
Thanks ahead of time for any help you may be able to provide!
Hi John, I don’t see any error on your site. For opening the links in a new window you need to set the target as _blank in the link tags. If you find the theme useful, please consider making a donation for my hard work.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll make a small donation for your work and help. I have to ask for more “newbie” clarity from you.
1. Where is the link tags area for me to set the target as_blank. any specific instructions here will go a LONG WAY!
2. Please press on my twitter icon and let me know why it’s not working (I figure setting the target as_blank may solve this anyway).
3. Should I update the theme? or is this going to make it so I have to “redo” some back-end code or changes?
Thanks – John

Hello Pritam, I wish you a great new year!
Thank you for your fine theme first.
As some users stated before, I also have a language problem in the posts headings, so I decided to get rid of the cufon part – I’ve deleted the wp_enqueue-things in functions.php and the cufon-line in footer.php, but the headlines will still be converted to bitmaps, it’s just another font.
Is there any way to take the h1 and h2 replacements completely away and get simple Text headlines?
Glad that you liked the theme. You have done all that’s necessary for removing Cufon replacement from the WP theme. But you are using also using a Cufon plugin ““. Please get rid of it.
PS: I am always willing to help. I hope you will keep me motivated by sending a generous donation for my time and effort. Thanks.
Thank you for your help, it takes some of the beauty, but it works
Why does my Title not show?

Hi,
Thanks for the beautiful theme. I’ll be sure to make a donation soon. Could you help me with a problem I’m having? I can’t figure out how to change the font size of the menu navigation bar items (i.e. News, Sports, etc…). Is there any way to do this? I’m not afraid to get down into the code.
Thanks for any help you can give.

You will have to edit the CSS files corresponding to your color scheme. You can find them in the Styles folder.
Hey,
Thanks for the quick response. I’m having a tough time trying to find exactly which CSS files you are talking about. I tried changing every single font size available in both the style.css and editor-style.css files, but to no avail. Are there other ones to try?
Thanks
In the “Styles” folder. Anyway, the menubar has various inter-related styles. You will have to be sure to make changes to all of them. Please tinker with codes if you know what you are doing. Else learn HTML and CSS or let someone else customize it for you.
Is there any way to replace the font with a different one, like Rockwell or similar?
finally found which styles folder you were talking about. I have it set up as an automatic install through a hosting service and was struggling to find the original files, but I have found them now. Which css part should I change. I tried this part in default.css:
#navigation{width:90%;
float:left;
font-size: 13px;
line-height:1em;
list-style-type:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
but changing that font size didn’t work. Is this the correct one to be changing? Thanks for the help.
Hi, I was wondering how I could remove the “allowed html” stuff under the comment box on Jenny?
Fantastic!
can’t seem to disable comments on the pages though?
How do i make a custom link which i added to the header nav open in a new window?
NM found it
I’m having some issues with some jquery image gallery plugins yCylista and Photo Galleria don’t seem to work in the theme.
That’s a bad! Sadly, I can’t help with the plugins. I really like your illustrations.
Thanks!
I’ll have to keep experimenting with the plug-ins.
Another question, how do I go about removing the 10px border that appears around images, or at the very least change its color.
You will have to remove the border attribute for images in the stylesheet(s) present in the “styles” folder of the theme.
I really like that you’ve added the possibility to use templates on a page – especially the ‘full width, no sidebar’ (I have a slideshow running which looks great without the sidebar and other info….
But is it possible to remove the contact form in the bottom as well so that you have a more or less blank page??
Thanks!
Just turn off comments on that page and you will have a blank page.
Ah.
Thanks. Sorry for my incompetence, I should’ve seen that!
No issues! Keep in touch.
Your theme really rocks! Thanks it’s very nice, I’m testing for a e-shop and everything is fine, but I can’t make thickbox works. When you click on the products to see the zoom on thickbox it opens the image on the browser. Any ideas how to make it work?
I’m using the e-commerce plugin.
Thanks!!
Cesar
P.S And definitely when the shop will go out I will give a donation!
Thanks for your appreciation! I have no clue about what you are speaking about thickbox. Is it any photo plugin?
I think you are talking about Fancybox,
It opens a popup image without leaving the currently page.

Hello! Thank you for creating this spectacular theme that makes us extremely novice bloggers look so professional! I have a VERY basic question about the home page-I keep receiving the “not found” error and do not know how to fix this. Do I need to change the permalink? Also, is this theme compatible with any of the WP recipe plugins (i.e. Recipe Press or WP recipes)? I have tried both plugins, but cannot figure out how to get the recipes to appear where I want them to appear. Any help that you can offer is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
I tried to visit your site, but it’s not available. ‘Not Found’ error is likely to be due to some errors in setting up your site and plugins. At least one of the plugins is buggy: http://support.recipepress.net/topic/recipe-display-and-not-found-issues
I have one last and stupid question, but I want to insert a favicon in the theme, I have tried everything, copy the code on the header, use a plugin, etc. without success.
How do you do that? any clues?
Thanks for your theme is awesome!!
Just save your favicon in the top folder of your blog. You don’t need to add any code.
I’m not sure if it’s lack of basic WordPress knowledge, but with the submenu options I have with your great theme, is it possible – when you have a number of submenus – to make the topmenu “unclickable”?
Thanks!
Yes, you can add a link in the “Menu” tab under “Appearance” menu and set the hyperlink as “#”. Keep the other pages/links under this link.
Thanks Pritam for a really nice theme! Here is my little contribution…
SOLUTION TO MISSING CHARACTERS:
What we are going to do is re-compile the embedded font, and include the correct characters this time.
1-Get free version of Gnuolane from http://www.dafont.com/gnuolane.font and download it to your hard drive.
2-Go to http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
3-In the “Regular Typeface” field, browse to your newly downloaded Gnuolane file (there is only one weight in this free font, so ignore the other 3 variants). The filename should be “gnuolane free.ttf”
4-Important: Where it next says “Use the following value as the font-family of the generated font (optional)”…..that is NOT optional for us. Enter “Gnuolane” (without quotes).
5-Make sure the box is checked for “EULA allows embedding”….i.e., yes you have permission to do this.
6-Check only the boxes for “Basic Latin” (the default) and “WordPress Punctuation” (very important!). You may check any other boxes if you are sure you want those extra characters, but I cannot confirm Gnuolane has all of them. Don’t check more than you know that you need, or else your new font file will be unnecessarily large.
7-Any other settings can remain at the default unless you are sure you want to change them. Check the final box (acknowledge Terms)
8-Click “Let’s Do This” and download the file to your hard drive.
9-Rename your newly downloaded file to “Gnuolane.font.js” if necessary.
10-Upload this Gnuolane.font.js file to blogroot/wp-content/themes/jenny/includes/js (replacing the same-named file already there)
That’s it!!
Thanks, Jeff. Will add it to the post.
First off, great theme! You can tell alot of quality time and effort was put into the creation of it. I have one question related to Featured Images. I do not like how it automatically sets a featured image as the header seeing as how I like my post images formatted a bit differently (see blog). Which brings me to my questions.
1. Is there anyway to disable setting the featured image as the post header image so that it is only used as a thumbnail for related posts?
2. Where should I look to customize the formatting (ie: image below post title, height is larger, width 95%) of the post header images. I would use the auto feature but I’m not sold on the formatting of it. I’ve poked around and it seems that index.php is the only place it is used but I’m not completely sure.
Again great work and thanks for being such a responsive developer!
-Bern
Hi Bern, Sorry but I didn’t get your questions. Thanks
How can I customize the appearance of the “Featured Image” that shows up at the top of a post? Also, how can I remove it from appearing at the top of posts?
-Bern
You will have to remove the tags used to output the image in index.php. For changing its size, you will have to alter the code in functions.php.
Thanks I’ll play around with it a little!
I don’t have IE9 so I cannot see the problem. Can you send me a screenshot? I can help only when I see the problem.
Great theme! I can’t figure out how to change the color in the tagline of the header. I’ve been looking in the Styles folder and can change the header color but not the tagline. Any help would be appreciated.
Modify the appropriate style in stylesheets. You can use Firebug Firefox addon to locate the element.
Awesome theme, thanks for creating it!
But, yslow is giving me an F for too many http requests, partially due to all those javascript files being called. And another F for not having them at the bottom of the page. Have you tried combining those js files into one file? Would there be any conflicts with doing that?
Also, I notice that 2 versions of jQuery are being called. I’m not sure if WordPress is calling the other one, or if it’s another plugin. Can yours be omitted?
Last question – I found the part in functions.php that calls the function to load all the scripts, but I can’t seem to find where that function is called in header.php. Is it called somewhere else?
Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Paul, The javascript files can be combined into one. And, there are, of course, two javascript files being called in the current version of Jenny. You can get rid of the additional by enqueueing core javascript file of WordPress rather than the one being done right now in functions.php. If you need to know how, you can check my Shaan WordPres theme. The javascripts that have been mentioned in functions.php get loaded with wp_head(). Hope this answers all your queries.
I want to change the size of the header but have looked through all the html and can’t figure out where I can change it.
Hi Robin, The size of the header is controlled by some tags in functions.php. If you look around, you will find them. Pretty easy to change. All the best.
Hi Pritam!
I like your nice theme “Jenny” very much and would like to use it får my blog.
I’ve a little question.
I can’t get the font “Gnuolane” to work with the Swedish glyphs Å, Ä and Ö.
I’ve tried to convert it with “Cufon” but when I’m load it upp to my domain the font change to “Arial” in the theme.
The glyphs works in my word prcessing program and Adobe InDesign but not on my site.
Do you have any tip for me to fix my problem. Mabye I’ve missed something in your manual.
Best regards, Mats
Please read the instructions at the end of the post.
i just installed jenny on a fresh install of wp3.1 and think its a great fresh feeling theme. my only trouble has been with the contact form. basically the same trouble as commented by:
Natacha November 23, 2010 at 4:14 AM “I’m having difficulties with the contact form though, it loads great, appears to send, but nothing shows up in my inbox. I added my email into the contact form section of the Jenny Settings page but it doesn’t work…”
and strangely i have not been receiving comment notifications either.
any advice or a steer in the right direction with be super appreciated,
paul -
Hi Paul, I would suggest you use a plug-in for adding a contact page to your WordPress blog. Quick and dirty solution.
pitam – thanks for getting back. both my jenny form & comments trouble have been resolved. these issues were not related to one another.
i’m a wp newbie & therefore don’t know what i’m doing. i shuffled through a handful of plugins, read through a mile of forums, installed, activated, deactivated, edited, updated & pulled out all my hair except for a small tuft just above my right ear and finally conquered. here i will share my solution…
form solution: i discovered that wordpress was sending my emails to wordpress@my-domain-name (by default). i created a forward for wordpress@my-domain-name to my email address. now jenny form worx!
comments solution: they seem to send to my email for approval as long as i am logged out of my wp.
i’m sure i’ll be back with more questions. thanx again for sharing the great jenny theme. speckygeek you also rock!

Hi – Great theme. I am creating a website based on Jenny and notice that my uploaded logo is appearing centred whereas I would like to align it to the left.
Any changes I make to the default.css file (on the server) do not appear to make any difference. Please could you let me know how to align my logo to the left??
Thank you for this FABULOUS design. It’s so crisp, modern, and beautiful. I would have never chosen orange, but it just works perfectly. Thank you! I have customized it a little to match the blog tone I’m going for with help from my younger brother/indentured tech slave.
Here’s my question–sometimes when I and others go to my site, the fonts are “off” for approximately 1 second, then they settle into the normal ones that you have set as part of the design. Do you have any quick ideas for what might be causing this?
It’s the way the Cufon font replacement system works in Internet Explorer or when your Internet connection is a bit slow.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Hi Pritam,
great theme, love simplicity of it! Yesterday I changed the colourscheme but when I changed it back, my header picture is gone as is the menubar to my pages…I also can’t change background colours anymore…
Any ideas? Thanks…
Strange! It should not happen. I guess the settings have been deleted. Maybe, you should ask you hosting provider.
Hi! I love that theme, great job!
I have a problem with featured images though. I want to see them as thumbnails, left-aligned inside post’s summary, but even if I set the dimension of image at 150 px or even less, they are still used above the headline as a large image.
Hope you can help me. Here’s the link: http://www.cervellifuori.it
Many thanks in advance!
That’s the way the theme has been crafted to work. If you don’t want the image above the title, use a smaller image size. You can also delete the appropriate codes from template files.
I love, love, LOVE this theme.
One question, how do I removed the related image thumbnail on posts?
I have years of content and no featured images selected on hundreds of posts?
Thanks,
Dave
Hey! Brilliant theme, thanks a lot!
Just a quick enquiry though, is there any way to make the main body container semi transparent so the background can be semi seen? My css and html isn’t too great!
Thanks,
I was wondering how much it would cost for you to customize this theme for my website? The main thing I wwant done is to have the header changed to a logo that I created. It’s too large to fit the size that the theme currently has set. Love the theme by the way. Thanks!
I love the theme and starting to use it. BUT, I can’t for the life of me get the pages to show up in the header where they should. They show up no where. Please help. I don’t think it has anything to do with the permalinks. I can’t figure this out.
Hey- thanks for the template- I just loaded it yesterday to a new wine site- but, how do I get a “subscribe to updates” box on the site?
thanks!
Hi Pritam –
I love this theme. I’m wondering if I can customize what is shown for the related posts feature – right now my site is only showing blue images instead of the images I’ve uploaded for each post.
For example, this post
Thanks,
Jen
First of all, congrats for this theme, its honestly one of the best i’ve seen for wordpress. I’m only having one problem, the same as Mark, the pages dont show up in the header. I created a Menu, but it doesnt show. Any idea of what im doing wrong ? Thanks.
Forget about my last post, i understood what to do. I had to select “menu” under “header navigation” in the dropdown list of the Menu page.
Hey Pritnam
Awesome theme!
Was wondering if u knew the name of the font in the header? so I can search / dL / purchase
Mike
You were sweet enough to answer my question before. Here is a second one: I changed my permalinks structure two weeks ago, and ever since then my header isn’t working correctly. It shows up on the main page but not on any sub pages. I’m sure there is some easy solution for this but I have been working on it for 4 hours and still don’t know. I think I am supposed to edit a CSS style sheet. If so, where do I find this? What do I look for to designate the header?
You are using relative link for your header. So it works when it’s on homepage while on others it breaks. Use absolute URL: “http://example.com/my-image.jpg”
HI, thanks for the theme. After reading through the others that have asked about adding menus, I am still having a problem. I successfully added one, but when I try to add more, they all disappear. Help, what am I doing wrong?
Hallo and greetings from Germany. I am a total wordpress newcomer and today after I spent some hours finding a good theme I found yours. So I start to creat the blog. I have a question would you take a look and give your impression if this theme is capabke for my needs. I plan a spirtual site, foremost to post my videos ( youtube) and audio meditations and text. What would you reccomend jenny for that project. At the moment I am a little bit helpless, because I am not even able to set different categories. Thank you very much for your help. With all the best Petra Elisabeth
Hey I really like the theme you’ve got here. I have two questions though, one being that I set up the contact form and everything but I’m not receiving any emails so do you know of any way to fix that?
Secondly, I’m setting up my site for my portfolio so I’m just wondering if you think this theme can be customized easily enough for that purpose?
Thanks!
hello, thank you for making this beautiful theme! i have looked high and low and finally found one i love in jenny.
i have a quick problem and need your help. it seems after the latest IE update, i can’t see any of the post titles nor the menu on the header. please advice! thanks!
I have the exact same problem. Everything looks fantastic in Firefox and Chrome but the titles and menu disappears in IE.
I can send you a screen shot.
Thanks

Disable Cufon font replacement. I guess this problem has already been discussed here.
Wonderful theme. I love it.
I’m trying to customize the colors and have been successful except with the website header. No matter what I do, I can’t change it. I’ve even used find/replace to change all instances of #21759B in the style sheet to red or something else. But it still stubbornly shows up as teal/blue.
Thanks so much.
hi pritam, your theme rox. its my first time using wordpress… jenny’s stability and simplicity has provided a great introduction to the platform. i customized a few jenny theme elements attempting to make it relative to friends in need for a design matching their wedding invitations and color palette. jenny was very excepting to updates, made modifications a breeze and everyone is really happy with the results!
my friends requested that i add credits to the site. i was wondering if i could do so at the foot of the page to the right of the word “Jenny” so it might read “…powered by WordPress and Jenny – customized by Paul…”. if so what is the best way to do this? (url to custom jenny deshkaandtiyalDOTcom).
respectfully,
paul,
hi pritam & jenny post,
i worked out the footer update. from wp admin…
appearance -> editor -> footer.php – make update.
thanx again for the solid theme,

Hey Guys,
I’m pretty new to WordPress – so be gentle – but I just downloaded Jenny and have been adding my content and I’ve come across a problem. I’m trying to set up menus in the header. Once I’ve made a menu, WordPress asks for pages, categories, etcetera to add to the menu. When I do this, I end up getting a bunch of hyperlinks to the pages floating independently in the header, rather than a menu with those pages listed within. Any help would be great! Thanks so much for the great theme!
You need to create a menu and then place them in order. Put child menus below the main ones by drag-and-drop. Set the menu to be shown in the desired location.
Is there any way to disable cufon for only one page? I’ve tried:
if ( !is_page(’231′)) {
wp_enqueue_script(‘p2h_cufons’,
get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’) . ‘/includes/js/cufon-customizations.js’, ’1.0′ );
}
but it doeesn’t work.
Hi, i’d like to know if its possible to insert an image above the header image. I want to have a long strip image above the header. I’ve tried to change the height of the header so that another taller image header would fit, but it doesnt work. Any idea ? Thanks.
Please use the “Header” tab in the WordPress dashboard.
Hi
I’m having issues switching out the header. I can alter the color but for some reason when I upload the new .jpg, it overlapse with the original header. I’m pretty new to WordPress, myself. How do I removed the original header completely and input my own?
Just use the “Header” tab in the WordPress dashboard.
Yea. That’s the problem. The “Header” tab isn’t working. It put my header on top of the original header. Is there any way to correct this?
Hello, I am currently evaluating some templates and have to say that I really.. really like the Jenny theme.
However I have a couple of annoyances I would like to clear before I settle for it.
In ‘Related Posts’ I get the blue squares like others have mentioned, which do not look good. If I set a ‘Featured Image’ to solve the empty blue squares/thumbs problem, I end up with a bigger problem: getting a a big banner photo above the posts, which I don’t want as that photo is going to be in the post just below the text. It will look like a double posted photo.
This is a bit of a dilemma, unless I’m doing something wrong. Pity as this is otherwise a great theme.
Can this be solved? If at least there is a way to get rid of the “Pelated Posts’ part would be great as I can get a plugin for that.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi Pritam,
i’m searching for the function that is resizing the images to 515px.
I cannot find it.
I scaled the #wrapper { width: 980px; } and the #content.narrow{ width: 635px;}, so i do have some space for larger images.. But i cannot find the function u used to crop the images. Can you give me a hint?
Also i used some gradient to the h1 and h2. The problem that i have is that when surfing to the ‘home page’ a hover is necessary to bring the #site-title gradient forward. You make the post and the site-title both h1?
I have a solution, but it is an temporary one; i used a duplicate javascript call like this:
Cufon.replace('#site-title', {color: '-linear-gradient(#ff9c00, #EB4A00)',
textShadow: '-1px 1px 0 #111',
hover: {
color: '-linear-gradient(#ff2c00, #EB4A00)'
},
fontFamily: 'Gnuolane'
});
Cufon.replace('#navigation a', { fontFamily: 'Gnuolane', fontSize: '15px' });
Cufon.replace('.file', { fontFamily: 'Gnuolane', fontSize: '26px' });
Cufon.replace('#footer-navi a', { fontFamily: 'Gnuolane', fontSize: '13px' });
Cufon.replace('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6', {
color: '-linear-gradient(#151515, #656565)',
textShadow: '0 1px 0 #fff',
hover: {
color: '-linear-gradient(#353535, #656565)'
},
fontFamily: 'Gnuolane', fontSize: '28px' });
Cufon.replace('#sidebar h3', { fontFamily: 'Gnuolane', fontSize: '15px' });
Cufon.replace('#site-description', { fontFamily: 'Vegur' });
Cufon.replace('#site-title', {
color: '-linear-gradient(#ff9c00, #EB4A00)',
textShadow: '-1px 1px 0 #111',
hover: {
color: '-linear-gradient(#ff2c00, #EB4A00)'
},
fontFamily: 'Gnuolane'
});
Maybe you can give me a hint? Thanks!
Great work! One of the better free wordpress theme’s around!
Image size is restricted using CSS stylesheet and also via functions.php. You will have to make the changes there. You can add your Cufon styles to the theme’s Cufon customization file. Just look around and you will find it.
Hi I have another issue with comments. I have a blog where i want to keep comments off, and I do un-tick “Allow Comments” in the post. However, I still get the “Leave Comments’ link under the post after I’ve posted it. When this is clicked, the reader will get “Comments Off”
The only way around this is to limit ” Automatically close comments on articles older than 1 day”, but will still leave the comments open for a day.
Is there a way to get “Comments Off” if I un-tick “Allow Comments?
Thanks again for a wonderful theme.
Will look into this when I work on new version of the theme. Till then you will have to fix it yourself by modifying the templates.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have one more question related to your theme..
I have some post that (automatic) get related posts. And a thumbnail shows up. It looks like a standard one, and I’m trying to change it, with use of plugins like YARPP or anything, but the standard thumbnail is keep showing up. Any idea if i missed something?
Hey! I love this theme. Though, encountered a bit of a problem. I don’t know if you’re a aware of this, but the header (+all the headings) don’t seem to work in IE 9.
it’s this conflict b/w cufon & ie9. what do you think?
Hi,
I really love this template, but I must have done smth and now the Header has disappeared and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Please help
Go to the Header menu is WordPress dashboard and upload a new header.
If you want the cufon fonts to show properly in ie9, then use this fix:
1. log in to your ftp
2. go to wp-content/themes/hempprotein-1.5.2/includes/js
3. rename your cufon-yui.js to cufon-yui1.js or something
4. download it to your desktop
5. open the cufon-yui.js in notepad
6. go to this site and click ctrl + a and ctrl + c (copy the code)
7. now paste it into the cufon-yui.js, replacing the precious code with this new one
8. save the file
9. upload it to the same location (see step 2)
Now it should work in ie9 – it worked for me
Btw thanks for a great looking free minimalistic theme. I’m usually not a big fan of free themes, but this is the exception to the rule.
Dear Specky! Love the Jenny theme! any change you can help me with increasing the height of the header and correcting the width of the side-bar back to standard for a donation. I am unable to fix it myself.
kind regards,
Stefanie van den Brandeler
For any customization, you can get in touch via the “Contact Us” page or write to pritam [at] speckygeek.com
Hi!
Love how user friendly this is for us newbs !
How does this theme look when viewed on iPhones, iPads, etc. ?????
Is it compatible with mobile media ?
Also was wondering how much you might charge for a little customization?
Thank you for this theme!
I haven’t seen it on iPad or iPhone, but it should look fine. It is not designed for mobile devices, but most latest mobile devices are intelligent enough to modify websites according to their needs. If you need any customization, please feel free to get in touch via the “Contact Us” page (link in the footer).
This is a great theme! I seem to be having similar problems as others with the header and titles and such have dissapeared. Not sure how to fix this but I guess it’s a problem in newer version of ie. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers!
Hi This looks like a really good theme, I am wanting to start a small business website would this be a good theme for that.
Cheers
Gary
I really love the themes.
Is it possible to get a second sidebar, with widgets with this theme? I love the theme, but I would like to have 2 sidebars available for my site!
Thank you very much!!!
why the name is jenny?
I love this theme! Juste one questions: can I put a slider?
Hi
I am seeing problems in this theme with IE9.
I have to press the compatibility button to get the header etc for viewing them correctly.
Can you help me out please?
Please download the new version from the links above.
Hi there! Love your theme! Thank you!
My question may or may not have anything to do with the Jenny theme, but I noticed that when people leave comments longer than 5-6 sentences, the comments overlap each other like they’re floating on top of each other. Is that something in the Jenny theme settings, or is that a WordPress issue? I’ve tried Google-ing the issue but I’m not exactly sure what that type of problem is called.
Thanks again!
Could you please share the link to the page with this problem? Thanks
Actually, last night I uploaded your new files for issues in IE9 and it seems to have fixed the problem. How awesome! Thank you!
Can you please help point me in the right direction regarding CSS Styles implementation. I would like to arrange several amazon products in a horizontal row on my page. I am having a hard time figuring out how to use the CSS Style options above to split the page in third1, 2 etc. My page is located here. The Amazon products are individual “iframe” tags. How can i organize them next to each other rather then on top of each other.
Thank you in advance!
You need to remove the paragraph tag wrapping iframes. After that add a style to iframes and make them float left. You might have to d some reading about CSS and HTML before you can do it.
Tnx for this great theme!
I have 1 question. My website is about one topic. Boardgames. Boardgame is a standard tag in every post. Every post is related. Can I change this?
Greetings Kasper
You will have to look into the code which spits out related posts. Change it to categories (or tags) so that you get better results. You can also remove the code and use a plugin for showing related posts.
I’ve just installed the Jenny theme on my site, and love it’s clean look and feel and simplicity. I primarily use my site in a static CMS style with a blog on one of the pages. I’m having problems getting the widget on my homepage which links to recent blog posts to show the content of the posts. The names of the posts are coming up, but when I click on the link I’m getting an error 404 message saying the page doesn’t exist. What am I doing wrong? Is it the way I’m using my site or perhaps the way I’m creating the blog posts in the first place?
I visited your website. Nice pictures. About the errors, it seems that you have messed up the WordPress permalinks setting. Have you? You better use the contact form or mail me (I respond to mails fast) the details of what you have done to these settings. Only then will I be able to give you a solution.
I created a child theme based on your jenny theme but my changes to the child themes CSS are not working. It looks like the master css is coming from the grey.css. How do I make a child theme based on this? Please help!
When I was creating this WordPress theme, I didn’t realize that someone would want to create a child theme for this. The theme uses separate color stylesheets for actual styling. You can just move all CSS to style.css.
Hi there, thanks for your reply to my message on 1st Nov. Your comment about my permalinks setting was enough to help me sort out my blogging problem. I didn’t know to look at the setting, and once I’d put it back to default all was well. Thanks again for the great theme!
Glad to be of help! Stay in touch.
Thanks for the great theme. How would I add captcha to my contact form?
Thanks.
Hi Nikelle, You can use Fast Secure Contact Form plug-in to create contact forms with Captcha. All the best.
Thanks. Got that working. I have one more issue with the site I am working on. On the blog page the author and date at the top are links. When clicking on them the author link sends me to an error page
“You are trying to reach a page that does not exist here. Either it has been moved or you typed a wrong address.”
and the Date link turns dead. Can I turn these links off or make them valid?
Thanks again for your help.
These seem to be your website-specific issues. I won’t be able to help until I get to see the website. Please send a mail and we can discuss it there
I really love this theme but there is just one tiny detail that I would like to change to make it perfect. Could you tell what to change so that the blog header and sub header can show above the header image? I’d really appreciate it.
You need to edit the theme files for that–header.php. Move the code to the desired place and edit the stylesheet.
In Internet Explorer 9 my navigation is missing from the top of the page. Do you know what I should do to get this back up?
Thanks!
Please use the updated version of Jenny available here. You just need to update the Cufon file.
Thanks for a beautiful theme. Is it possible to change the theme for this color : #ff0000 because the red is orange but not red…
Thanks.
Best,
audrey
I am using the Jenny wordpress theme and can’t get the related post images to display. Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Are you adding “Featured Image” in your posts? These are used for thumbnails.
Hello,
Everyone loves Jenny! Thanks so much for making it available.
I have a question. I am trying to format a widget for the sidebar with an amazon html link, and it isn’t showing up in the textbox. I’m not sure if the problem is with amazon, or if the text boxes don’t support the html. Any thoughts?
Also, I am trying to fix the font problem that has been discussed a bunch thoughout these comments. I have gotten through step 9. I don’t know enough about codes and addresses to know where “blogroot/wp-content/themes/jenny/includes/js” actually is. In other words, where in my computer, or in the jenny settings, etc does this extension go?
Thanks a bunch,
Megan
The text widget should work fine with this WordPress theme. If you want to customize the theme, you must make changes to the theme files on your server.
I still can’t get the amazon link to work. I’m also having issues getting a facebook “like box” to work. Do you know the best place to embed the javascript SDK?
Also, you didn’t answer the second part of my original question about the font problem.
Thanks,
Megan
Glad I’ve found this wordpress theme.
Thank you for making this.
I’ll use this theme on my blog.
Really like the theme, currently testing it on my localhost .. It would be really nice if this theme could also be responsive.
Hi Pritam.
I just upgraded to Jenny 1.5.2 and I’m having trouble editing or moving the widgets. Any tips on how to address this.
Great theme, thanks.

Huh, this seems to have fixed itself. So I’m good to go.
