(Original publish date: Nov 23, 2009)

The definitive WordPress theme for 2010. Buddymatic is a highly extensible Theme Framework for WordPress & WordPress MU blogs including BuddyPress enabled home and member blogs.

This framework features 13 widget-ready areas, drop-down menus, grid-based layout samples, plugin integration, shortcodes for your footer, & a whole lot more. BuddyPress functionality is integrated into the framework and activated when BuddyPress is detected. Perfect for any blog or WordPress MU site, Buddymatic is based on Thematic by Ian Stewart and works with Thematic child themes. Buddymatic includes 2 BuddyPress ready child themes: Coffee with Friends by Daisy Olsen and a Buddymatic Sample Child Theme ready for customization.

This is a basic theme for BuddyPress that will be very easy to customize. The front page shows the latest post from the main blog, has a widgetized sidebar, and three widget areas in the footer.

I’ve just updated this theme for BuddyPress 1.2. While I was at it, I added a theme options page with a font size & style selector, and extra color schemes. The blue is default and you now have gray, green, red and orange to choose from. I had originally designed this theme with more color blocking and borders, but decided to leave it out to be more versatile. I can’t wait to see what you guys do with it!

There’s also an added bonus – if you’re not running BuddyPress and just plain WordPressMU or even single WordPress, the theme also works. The BP features just smoothly go away. Turn on the BP plugin and they come back. One note about setup: to get the “Blog” menu item to show the latest entires from the main blog, create a new Page on the main blog called Blog, and save. Go to Settings -> Reading, and select the option to show the blog entires on the Blog page. Do not select a page for the home.
