Callisto – Free Wordpress Theme
I feel proud to announce another free wordpress theme – Callisto. The key feature about this theme is that it comes with four different flavors, namely; Blue, Red, Green and Gray. The blue color comes by default. This will allow you to choose your own favorite color, allowing you to enjoy the theme in any color you want.
It contains easy to use interface with a shining glossy look, making it appealing to eyes. Callisto has two widget ready columns/sidebars, Left and Right sidebars. In addition to that below are some of the other features made available;

Navigation Bar – On the top of your screen, a horizontal navigational bar is placed for you easily navigate through pages.
Search Engine Optimized – This theme is designed keeping in mind that all search engine spiders crawl your site by providing headings and title tags.
Adsense Optimized – Similarly, this theme is highly optimized for Adsense, enabling you to easily and efficiently monetize your blog, leading to higher revenue. You can place a 468*60 ad unit at the top of the navigational bar, next to blog title where CTR is relatively high, in addition to that you can place a vertical skyscraper or 250*250 block unit at the sidebar and also under each post title.
Socialize Button – At the end of each post it contains Feed, Digg, Delicious, Reddit, ReTweet buttons enabling others to interact and share your content with the rest of the world.

change blue to either red, gray or green. Hit ‘update file‘ button to save changes.

As already mentioned above, you have to go to style.css file inside Editor, under Appearance in your Wordpress Admin Panel. The last line “@import url(“blue.css”);” Replace ‘blue’ with either red, green or gray. Let me know if it works or not

Thanks for pointing it out. Working on it right away!

I love this theme and I downloaded it two days ago. It works great on Firefox, but on IE the left sidebar moves over. How can I fix this?
Thank you for appreciating and pin pointing the bug in Callisto. I am sending you a fresh copy on your mailing ID – version 1.3. Few modifications have been made in this version, I hope you’ll like them. If you have any ideas, suggestions or find any bugs in the theme; feel free to contact me any time!
PS: The above link has also been updated.
Thank you so much for the fast fix, it worked like a charm! I have one other problem with the widgets. When I had my sidebar problems, I tried removing widgets to see if one was causing the problem. Now, I notice that even though my control panel shows I have no widgets, some show up and I cannot position them the way I want. Thank you so much for your help!
My pleasure! Here’s the answer to your next question. Whenever there are no widgets on the sidebars, it will display a few widgets by default that have been hard-coded in the theme (you can see them inside right.php and left.php files. If in case you don’t want those default widgets to appear. Simply follow the instructions below:
1) Click ‘Editor’ under ‘Appearance‘,
2) You’ll see a list of files on the right side of the page,
3) Look for ‘right.php‘ and click on it.
4) You’ll see the following lines:
< ?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
Replace this with the following code below:
< ?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
They almost look similar, so what did I change? Notice an exclamation mark next to dynamic_sidebar(2). In the first code there was no exclamation mark and that is why it was displaying widgets by default. You can either copy and replace the second code or append an ! (exclamation mark) as suggested.
Great! Thank you so much.
One last question/suggestion. Would be possible to add an image or logo to the header if desired?
Certainly you can add an image. Callisto is highly customizable wordpress theme. However, you’ll have to provide me some information about the size of the image, and whether you want to replace the title and description with the image?
I was thinking it might look nice to have a small image on the right side of the header. It wouldn’t replace the title and description, it would be off to the side of it. I don’t have anything ready to use just yet. I just wondered if it would be possible.
My blog is back to life now! I did have to reinstall Wordpress, but at least my blog was so new I was still setting it all up. Thanks again for all of your help. I really appreciate it.
That’s great! You can have an image on the right side of your header, but for this you’ll need to align it according, as it won’t automatically appear on the right. However, if you need my help in the future, just ping me. Have a great day!
