Thank you for releasing this theme (which license?)
I'm translating it in french, i'll advice you if I succeed.

Hey Dwit,
Please download the theme again. I have fixed the translation.
The comments.php file was taken from a client of mine so I forgat some words in it.
It should be ok now. Thank you for telling me.

Your theme is licensed under GPL? Then, you cannot place a no sale restriction on the use of your theme.
Now, the right thing for people to do would be to not sell your hard work, but it's certainly not an enforceable rule.
This is just a head's up. The folks at WP tend to look at themes as straight code and don't realize the creativity and artistic value of the graphics/CSS coding that goes into each individual theme and it's the reason why some WP theme designers don't agree with the GPL/GPL compatible license rule.

Is there any way to add another sidebar box with its own catagory of links iside it?
3:04 pm on July 19th, 2008
Open the sidebar.php file with a text editor and before the closing of the sidebar div add this code:
You can change 1 with 2 or 3. Depending on what color you want.
4:44 pm on July 19th, 2008
Thanks GlamourGaby
I did that already but I have the problem where I cannot open a new box for a separate category - for example if I want to add a new box for Premium Sites and one for Free Sites they both end up in the same box, that is they automatically default to the box containing the link:
I think the problem is that no sidebars are defined.
I'll try and fix it using wordpresses recomendations and see how it goes.
Thanks again and thanks for the great theme.
4:47 pm on July 19th, 2008
Could you supply a link?
3:43 am on July 20th, 2008
I love the look of this layout and planning to put it for my online shopping blog. the thing is, it's not widget friendly. any chance to make it a widget friendly?
3:52 am on July 20th, 2008
The next version will be widget ready.
4:00 am on July 20th, 2008
Thank you!

i've installed it on my blog, but it's broken.
i don't know what's wrong with the theme, but the images on the themes does not appear.
:-(
since i'm using linux, i didn't upload it via http://ftp. i used file manager on my cpanel, and i upload it one by one. did i miss something?
3:53 am on July 21st, 2008
nice!And it's suitable for girls.
3:55 am on July 21st, 2008
@chocoluv
You have to upload all the images from the theme here:

Hi,
We've tried this theme, we like it very much, it's exactly what we were looking for, nice and clean.
Unfortunately, the right column seems to be broken for some urls, when we've tried to activate the theme in our site. In the wordpress site, you can see that too, in the preview, here: http://wp-themes.com/dum-dum/
Here you are the broken thing: http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/9428/imagen3ma5.png
Did you know about that? could that be fixable? we've tried several browsers, none of them works.
Anyway thank you very much, it's a great theme, exactly what we wanted, if that can't be fixed, we will hate to search for another one :(
Regards,
Pablo
12:18 pm on July 21st, 2008
I fixed the theme Pablo. Please download the new version from the post above.
Thanks for pointing out the problem.
12:30 pm on July 21st, 2008
Wow, that was a fast answer, thank you very much, we'll try again with the fixed version.
Thanks!
Pablo

Hi
Is it possible to add a link to admin space (in the footer or somewhere else)
The french version need to be mofified (in vesion 1.1, the field "articles + récents" ne s'affichent pas entièrement voir : http://kiosk.toile-libre.org/blog/ en bas de page)
thx
pouet
6:59 am on July 22nd, 2008
@Pouet
You can add this code in the file footer.php
< ?php wp_register(); ?>
7:28 am on July 22nd, 2008
Hi!
We finally managed to use your really great theme, in our site, but we have a question about unordered lists.
It seems like the litle black point falls over the side line, you can see that here:
http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/1394/imagen5sh3.png
We are two people here, and we have a bet about that, my friend thinks it's a mistake that needs to be fixed, it should be moved to the right.
But actually, given the obvious quality of your work, and given the fact that I don't think that's 'ugly', I think you made those on purpose that way, over the line.
Sorry if we ask too much about a free theme, we are willing to pay/donate/whatever if that's necesary.
So what's it gonna be? a bug or a feature? :)
Thanks!
Pablo
8:01 am on July 22nd, 2008
Its a featured bug :)
I never use lists in my posts.
Add this to the css:
.post ul, .post ol {
padding-left: 25px;
}
8:32 am on July 22nd, 2008
Damm it, I guess my friend was right!
Anyway, thanks again :)
11:01 am on July 22nd, 2008
Thank you pouet, I'll try to fix it.
Gaby, when will you release the next version 'widget ready', just to know if I translate the version 1.2 or if I wait.
12:02 pm on July 22nd, 2008
I think in about 2-3 weeks. I have some other projects at the moment plus I would like to release the photo blog theme before I release the widget ready theme.
3:09 pm on July 22nd, 2008
I can't wait for the next version with 'widget ready' is ready! I really love you theme but I was already looking for another one because of it isn't widget ready. But now I'll just wait!
3:12 pm on July 22nd, 2008
I released this theme like this to see the interest it gains.
Since so many people are interested in a new version I will try to hurry the new version.
Thank you all for your interest and feedback.
Expect more glamorous themes from me in the future :D
3:13 pm on July 22nd, 2008
Oh that would be great! I really like your design! Keep up the good work (Y)!!

What a phenomenal theme! I'm new to wordpress, so I'm assuming I'll figure out a lot of stuff in the future, like how to add an image to the header, or alter the blogroll (probably a basic dashboard thing) but I'm BLOWN AWAY by how great this theme is in its look and can't wait for the widget-ready version.
I would gladly purchase a version with greater flexibility.
Thanks,

2:17 am on July 26th, 2008
It is really beautiful!Thank you!
10:05 pm on July 27th, 2008
Heya GlamourGaby :-), thanks for your beautiful template. I am currently messing a bit around with WP, get a bit more aquainted to it'n stuff.
Any clue about that? If i click on 'Widgets' -> i'll get a message 'Es wurde keine Sidebar definiert' what means sth. like 'there is no sidebar defined'. Then some blabla, that the theme needs to be changed to support Widgets …
Erm - any hints ;-)
3:27 am on July 28th, 2008
@Ron
GlamourGaby hat doch schon gesagt, dass die aktuelle Version keine Widgets unterstützt und das in den nächsten Wochen kommt. ;-)
Obviously the theme doesn't support widgets, although a lot of theme databases claim it would. So I was a little confused at first. I'm looking forward to the widget-ready version, too. It's such a light and friendly theme.
6:49 am on July 28th, 2008
Widgets are not currently supported.
But they will be eventually :)
9:25 am on July 28th, 2008
@Raleigh
Asche auf mein Haupt, manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht ;-) - yupp, einige Datenbanken schreiben dies. Danke für die Klärung :-).
@GlamourGaby
Thank you for your kind answer :-). Yes, would be fine to have the option for widgets. Anyway - Dum-Dum rocks!
10:29 am on July 30th, 2008
nice job! =)
12:51 pm on July 30th, 2008
hey, thanks for the nice theme. I love it.

Thank you Maxi. I really appreciate it.
I have put your version for download too.
9:42 pm on August 3rd, 2008
hey guys
I have translate this theme in chinese include simple And traditional chinese
and I have change somewhere in this theme
email to me I send you this version
12:33 am on August 4th, 2008
Here are 2 simple steps to enable widget support for this theme:
1. Insert the following code on a new line after "" in sidebar.php
2. Create a new file in the themes directory called "functions.php" and add the following code:
",
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => ",
'after_title' => ",
));
?>
1:05 am on August 4th, 2008
sorry, i don't see where in sidebar.php to add new code or what it should be
can you re write those instructions?
5:43 am on August 4th, 2008
What's about blockquotes in comments? See here: http://wpglamour.com/themes/2008/01/06/post-with-links-and-paragraphs/#comment-5
This is not the optimum. ;)
6:14 am on August 4th, 2008
The "postmetadata" line has some problems. I don't see why it expands like this but it doesn't look very nice.
http://img60.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dumdumot1.png
Shouldn't be too difficult to fix that or make it look better.
7:11 pm on August 4th, 2008
I love the theme! My wish list if you're looking for any more feedback is widgets and 3 columns. Thanks again!
1:00 pm on August 6th, 2008
can we get a widget ready theme please.
2:31 pm on August 6th, 2008
A little tip at GlamourGaby: Put an PayPal donation button on your site. ;)
3:23 pm on August 6th, 2008
seems like my earlier post got munched. I've zipped up a widgetised version of the dum-dum theme.
5:50 pm on August 7th, 2008
I've added the Simple and the Traditional Chinese translation of the theme.
Ian even widgetized the theme for me :) yayyyy.
Thank you Ian. I am a hard core wordpress user, I just edit the files.
All the new files can be found in the post above.
9:23 am on August 8th, 2008
Hi GlamourGaby
No worries - glad to help.
Can you change the link so that it points directly to the post? The blog is family related, therefore any technology related snippets are hidden.
The post url is http://www.perrinfamily.co.uk/…widget-support
3:03 pm on August 8th, 2008
Done
1:05 am on August 9th, 2008
Amazing design man..! Fabulous Job.. Thanks..
11:21 am on August 9th, 2008
Great theme - thanks for sharing.
3:51 pm on August 10th, 2008
Hi GG
We love your theme and have been using it our blog, but something seems to be broken with the archive
http://pinupbalm.com/blog
when you click on the archives the entire theme is breaking up, Any advice
Thanks again for sharing - you are pure design genius!
4:01 pm on August 10th, 2008
I love what you did with the theme. Very Nice.
I see you have don't have the theme in the original directory but rather in the "default" directory.
Copy the theme in the directory "dum-dum" and activate it from the admin panel. Don't just copy the theme files in the directory "default".
4:24 pm on August 10th, 2008
okay you are a super duper genius, when I went into my default directory I saw that I had duplicates of the files which was causing the problem as well. Thanks again for such an amazing delicious design - you've made my life all that more marrrrrrrrrvelous!
Any chance on getting widget support soon ;)
4:28 pm on August 10th, 2008
Download the latest theme version from this post. It has widget support.
11:28 pm on August 10th, 2008
I would love to use the theme…and I am sure there is an easy answer to this…. how can I remove some of the nav buttons along the top and in sidebar. Some of the pages being displayed are subpages and I don't want direct nav to them.
Thanks in advance.
12:45 pm on August 11th, 2008
@Pete
If you want the pages to only show top level links than you have to not use a widget for the box 1 and add the same code as in the header for the box 1.
10:19 am on August 12th, 2008
I will use Dum-Dum at the point it supports blockquotes… Please, please make that to work for the next version. :)
1:40 pm on August 12th, 2008
It doesn't?
Maybe it doesn't support blackquotes in the comments, but it does in the posts.
See here: http://wpglamour.com/themes/2008/03/06/article-with-quote/
3:40 pm on August 12th, 2008
Hi GG
it's me again - i also noticed that the blockquote wasn't working, viewing the source the only difference I noticed was even in code view when I add the tags they do not save in the source file …any suggestions?
4:32 pm on August 12th, 2008
So you are saying that you add the "blockquote" tag in the article and you don't see it in the page?
If that is the case than its not something from the theme.
The link from a few comments up is from an article that has blockquotes in it and it works fine.
I don't think I understand the problem entirely.
4:43 pm on August 12th, 2008
What happens is the image (quote) does not appear. The blue dotted line box works fine, any clues, if you go:
http://pinupbalm.com/blog
the July 27th entry
Thanks!
4:50 pm on August 12th, 2008
Open the CSS file
Search for .posttext blockquote {
add: clear: both;
The image is overlapping the quote box. this should fix it.
5:02 pm on August 12th, 2008
Thanks so much GG
Simply Fabulous you are! You deserve some lip balm would love to send you some :)
2:48 am on August 13th, 2008
The widget works fine but the colours for the most of the sideboxes are only yellow, instead of mixture of the three.
Can that be fixed?
7:49 am on August 13th, 2008
There are 3 sidebars. Each one with its one color.
Box1 is yellow wile the rest are different colors.
9:10 am on August 13th, 2008
nice theme
i Love it so much.
9:28 pm on August 14th, 2008
Hi GlamourGaby.
First of all, thank you for making this theme available. It is an adorable theme to use (I should know, I'm currently using it).
I'm new to Wordpress but I wanted to ask whether I would be able to add a header image to this particular theme? If so, what dimensions do I have to make it and which files do I change?
Thank you.

Links also aren't showed: http://www.frumble.de/…ionen/#comment-29
Blockquotes: Yes, in articles it works but even not in comments. When you quote others conclusion you fast want to use blockquotes.

Ok, ok, I'll fix that too in a couple of days :)
6:16 am on August 19th, 2008
couple of days before i wrote that i have this theme in turkish and i gave the link but it is deleted why ???
6:34 am on August 19th, 2008
Its one thing to add your link in the footer but it another thing to delete my link, the one to this website, and put your own.
Theme rejected.
6:35 am on August 19th, 2008
Oh, and something else. Exactly after your comment there was a spam comment in turkish, image the coincidence.
9:36 am on August 19th, 2008
it is not a spam it was just a word in Turkish for Turkish users it says this theme is available in Turkish
9:53 am on August 19th, 2008
i didn't delete your link it still there i double checked and
i just added my link that is all, no more.
do u still reject the theme ?
i just wanted to help that is all
7:19 am on August 21st, 2008
And a further "bug" (issue ;) ): I can't reorder the widgets "pages", "archive" and "links" (blogroll) in the sidebar cause they are fixed in Dum-Dum. "Pages" is always on top, archive and links always at the bottom. It would be nice if that were possible…
7:20 am on August 21st, 2008
Hi Maxi. Since the theme is now widget ready, you can activate the widgets and put the pages where ever you want.
7:46 am on August 21st, 2008
Ah, you're right with "pages". But the other two not, they are fixed. I even haven't drop they into my widget box in the WP administration, they are simply there without an entry:
7:49 am on August 21st, 2008
There are 3 sidebar boxes. Select the other two so you can add widgets in other boxes.
7:49 am on August 21st, 2008
A screenshot: http://s3.directupload.net/file/u/8011/nwmkq8hf_png.htm
10:33 am on August 21st, 2008
OK, wonderful. But the original links widget from Dum-Dum is so splitted in two widgets as you can see on my site. One "Blogs" and one "Podcasts" how my both links categories. But this is no big thing for me.
4:55 am on August 24th, 2008
I'd like to use this theme but also I'd like to have a header(like http://m33w-fansubs.com/)
I'm new to this and don't know how to edit a header. Hope any1 can help me so that i just have to add the image-url and such
i even don't know is this is allowed hope for comments

@Yukito,
Try to but your image in the file header.php
You'll get it working eventually :P (hopefully)
@Andrey,
The number that appears under each post is the number id not the incremented number from the last post.
Its normal that is showing like that.
@Mick,
I made a boo-boo with my blog about one week ago and I lost the french version.
If someone can resend that I will upload it again.
8:11 am on September 1st, 2008
My notes to 1.4.1:
sidebar.php: [...] [...] -> but it's in box 2
For the German version I had to resize the one button image a little bit (isn't in your 1.4.1):
.navigation a {
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
width: 133px; (-> to 133px)
In the comments.php a translation neglect (mine):
[...] Name
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" />
E-Mail (wird nicht veröffentlicht) [...]
In both "required" to "erforderlich", please. ;)
Why do you have kicked out this (no problem but it's only to prevent possible problems ;) ):
h3.single_h3 {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
color: #9A6A3A;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
But where are my comment blockquotes? ;)
1:04 pm on September 9th, 2008
Hey guys! Its me again.
Just wanted to report a problem(But I don't know if this problem is caused be the theme or the plugin)
I downloaded and activated the plugin: Wordpress Guestbook Generator from: http://www.alleba.com/blog/2006/09/21/wordpress-guestbook-generator-plugin/
The Plugin works but if I want to comment in the normal commentzone the layout does not display the images. btw the guestbook works with the commentfunction from wordpress.
maybe somebody knows more about this?
Ah and I know a guestbook is kinda "out" but I like this feeling of having a guestbook :D
1:20 pm on September 10th, 2008
Thanks for releasing. Use this to my blog.
Regards.
12:46 am on September 11th, 2008
hi!
I love your design!
I tried to insert my banner at: HEADER (header.php)
/head>
<a href="<img src="
I cannot see the image. What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to modify the CSS page also?
Thank you in advance.
Zurui
5:11 pm on September 14th, 2008
@Yukito
I do not know that plugin.
The code for my theme all validates so there isn't any bad code.
If you activate that plugin and it messes up your comments than that means the problem is from the plugin not the theme.
@zurui
I see you managed to put an image in your header. Nice.
5:14 pm on September 14th, 2008
Yes, I did after about 5-hours of studying other blogs and looking at their code. I admire you for being able to build this theme.
BTW, how do I remove the white space above my header?
Again, thanks for a great theme!
5:16 pm on September 14th, 2008
Zurui, delete the h1 and h2 tag from header.php
7:34 pm on September 19th, 2008
Thank you for your lovely theme. I am new to WordPress and your theme. My question: I am using the three styles of sidebars (three different colors), but I can't seem to arrange them such that the colors alternate. It puts all the box-1's, followed by all the box-2's, followed by all the box-3's. Is there a way to alternate them: box-1, box-2, box-3, box-1, box-2, box-3, etc.?
7:36 pm on September 19th, 2008
If you want to do this just from the admin panel then no.
You would have to edit sidebar.php file and create new boxes and add your content in them.
7:42 pm on September 19th, 2008
Thank you for your speedy response. I will try that.
3:50 am on September 30th, 2008

I love dum-dum. I try other themes and just keep coming back.
Great job.
7:49 pm on November 12th, 2008
Hi there! Really love Dum-Dum, but I've noticed that when a commenter adds any URL, the linked text is white — which makes it unreadable against a white background; cf.
http://indigestible.nightwares.com/2008/11/03/how-stupid-do-you-have-to-be-a-rhetorical-trifecta/#comments
The first commenter there embedded a URL that's turned the linked text white on a white background.
I've pored over the files in the theme editor but can't identify where the link colors are set for comments — can you point me in the right direction so I can change the colors?
Thanks!
5:13 am on November 13th, 2008
Warren, add this to the css:
.commenttext a:link, .commenttext a:visited{
color: #9A6A3A;
}

Thank you for this theme. It is so cute and perfect. I am new to blogging and don't know any code or CSS but is there any way to add one more box to the sidebar? I'd like to add a box to some of my own links outside of my blog. Is there an easy way to to do this? can someone help walk a newbie through it? :)

Hello Jane. I'm glad you like my theme :D
If you want to add another box to your sidebar then you need to first open the file sidebar.php
Look for:
</div> <!– SIDEBAR –>
Above that add this:
<div class="box3">
<div class="box3text">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
</ul>
</div> <!– BOX3 TEXT –>
</div> <!– BOX3 –>
Change the number 3 with 2 or 1 depending on what color you want.
If you would of read the comments your would of seen that someone already asked the same question and they got the same answer :)

Oh, and instead of:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
You will put your own text.

Wow! Thanks for the fast response! :)
I was already able to get a fourth box by copying and pasting but I can't seem to add the actual LINKS and TEXT into my box. I dont' know how to do this.

A link looks like this:
<a href="URL">TEXT</a>
I can't help you more than this :)

:) That was much more simple then I thought. For some reason, I thought I had to make another file and have it be pulled like the "bookmarks". Thank you :)
