Welcome to the home page of WPWeaver's
Twenty Ten Weaver (and equivalent
2010 Weaver) WordPress theme. As implied by the name,
Twenty Ten Weaver is a child theme of the new WordPress 3.0 default
Twenty Ten theme.
Important Note:
Twenty Ten Weaver and
2010 Weaver are functionally identical.
2010 Weaver is the main version found at
WordPress.org themes. For the user, there is no practical difference between the two themes.
Twenty Ten Weaver allows you to tweak almost everything. You can change colors, fonts, sidebar columns, header size, and more. This theme also includes several new theme looks for an easy start. Just for example, this site is running on WordPress 3 and uses the "WP Weaver" sub-theme as its own theme.
Features of Twenty Ten Weaver 1.2

You can easily customize over 50 different elements of your theme simply by using the
"checkbox" interface. Check checkboxes or select colors from a color picker - you don't
have to know the technical details to create a custom theme. (But if you do
know CSS, you can make even more changes!)
- Select from prebuilt themes, or design your own (+ details)
Weaver includes over 15 sub-themes - either ready to use, or to serve as a
starting point for you customizations.
- Pick your own colors for titles, content, backgrounds, menu bar, and more (+ details)

of the theme - titles, body text, links, backgrounds, the menu bar, borders. You can use the
color picker, or provide a hex value directly. The current color is displayed in the value box.

using WordPress plugins, have a different image on the front page vs. the rest of the site, make

the box with the new site width. You can also specify the width of the sidebars to get a perfect
blend of overall site width, content width, and sidebar width.

on your defined pages. Either way, you have full control of the menu colors and more.

content and post pages. You can control which type of pages they diplay on as well.

You can independently customize the bullets used on widget and content lists
from a list of over 15 different bullets in 5 colors (black, gray, red, green, blue).

You can really control your header with Weaver. If you Header Image has your site name in it, then you can hide the site title and description.
- Hide menu (+ details)
Don't want a menu - a simple check mark will hide menus.
- Add custom code to section (+ details)
If you have a bit of understanding of CSS, you can get almost total control of your site's appearance
by adding custom CSS rules, Javascript definitions to the
section of the HTML pages. No more editing the theme style.css file, or any other files, either. And
the custom code you create are saved in the WordPress database, not a file that changes with each
theme upgrade, so you won't lose your work. Weaver even includes an extensive list of CSS snippets that you can
use to fine tune your site.
- Export/Import your themes to your own computer for safekeeping and sharing (+ details)
So you've done all this work customizing your theme. Now you want to save it, share it, or move it from
your development site to your production site. Easy. You can save your customized theme to a file on your
computer, and upload and restore it later.
- Extend TTW easily if you know PHP (+ details)
For advanced users who know PHP, and want to extend the theme with specific capabilities
available only by using PHP code, Weaver provides an easy way to do this. You can add
custom headers, provide an additional tab to the theme interface, almost anything
using the ttw-extend.php file. While this is not exactly easy, it is compared
to the alternative of extensively modifying other theme files.
- Real Help Included with Theme (+ details)
While Weaver is supported by a website, it also includes a real help system with the theme. Just click on the Help tab to display a sample web page tagged with all the items you can customize. There is also a help file that explains the options, and includes examples and other tips. This help is also available on wpweaver.info.
2010 Weaver Version 1.1.7 (it may take until August for 1.2 to get approved) is available on
WordPress.org. You can download it there directly into your Themes Install panel. The WordPress theme approval process can take some time, even for updates, so if you want to be right up to date, the latest version of Weaver will always be available for
download from this page.
What is the difference between
2010 Weaver and
Twenty Ten Weaver?
(+ Show)
The
2010 Weaver theme functions exactly the same as
Twenty Ten Weaver. For technical reasons related to the WordPress theme approval process, the
2010 Weaver theme is not really a true child theme, while
Twenty Ten Weaver is. You will likely find it easier to use the
2010 Weaver version if you want to be able to use the WordPress automatic theme update feature.
If you will always have the default WordPress Twenty Ten them installed, you can use Twenty Ten Weaver,
which is a true child theme. The Twenty Ten Multi-Weaver theme is also a child theme, and requires you to
have Twenty Ten installed on your Multisite site.
Download 2010 Weaver here.
How to install on your WP 3 site: Most of you probably know this, but just in case. First, download the twentyten-weaver.zip file to your own hard drive. Then from your Admin page, go to the download tab of the Themes panel. Then click the upload link at the top, and upload and install the file.

Hi, I installed it but.. maybe it’s me but I just can’t seem to find the option to have 2 sidebars on the right.
You mention “double right hand sidebars” so there is an option but I can’t find it, maybo I am just tired. I did Ctrl+ F on this page and it isn’t there.
They are all structurally the same except the Ivory tone theme which has them on the left.
Maybe I am missing something.
Also what’s the point in having 2 sidebars if they are one on top of the other? Having one would achieve the same effect.. a long 120px bar with empty space on either side..
Hi Bruce,
Congratulations, your Work is really amazing. I’m Webdesigner (Paris) and I suggest wpweaver to my clients when they need a good free theme
Take Care
Great theme! thanks so much for creating it…Just wondering if there is a way to hide all of the CSS coding after the “” tag? For seo purposes I am just trying to show as little code as possible to the search engines
thanks again!
All the CSS tags generated by Weaver in the Head section are essential, and can’t be hidden.
