I’m pleased it was helpful
J’ai fait une traduction en français de ce thème. Cela se trouve ici : http://wordpress-tuto.fr/theme-wordpress-bus-full-hippies-145
very awesome, thanks for translating! (added to the post)
Thanks for this theme - Joshuaink is one of my favourite design.
mine too
if only my themes were as hot as his…
Excessive modesty
- Your themes are hot and unique.
Hey there! I love the idea of this theme, but I can’t get it to work. The only files included in the download are the functions.php, style.css and some images. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
those are the only files that should be included. this theme requires that you install Sandbox as well.
unfortunately, there’s a bug in 2.2.1 that makes this theme not work. [solution below]
Ah, that must be my problem then. I tried overwriting my sandbox files with the “Bus” files but it said I needed a template. Will the old file mess up my wordpress?
Thanks for your help!
UPDATE: I tried uploading the new file, but when I went to the theme selector screen, all I got was a blank screen. Any idea what went wrong?
ok, sorry, referenced the wrong file. the file you need to change is
/wp-includes/theme.php.here’s the file to download, straight out of wordpress’ trac:
theme.php[updated file below].the file is completely safe, it’s just an older version. the only change between this and the current version has to do with how line breaks are handled.
Ah, that worked. Thanks!
One more thing (sorry!). Is it possible to show more than three of my pages?
you could add
#menu ul { overflow: visible; }to the very end of style.css. it’ll show the rest of your pages, but the items may run into each other a bit.
This is just great, but how do you fix the IE6/PNG issue? do you have to write all your css code with jpgs and gif backgrounds? That is not fair! There must be a way to write a style sheet and not to worry about this issue! Damn IE6!
well, john’s solution is in the CSS. personally, i don’t deal with IE6. IE7 is listed as a critical update. i’m calling that close enough to deprecated. I don’t have an install to test on it, and i’m not going to hack my registry or otherwise put my computer at risk, just so that other people can leave themselves vulnerable.
Unfortunately, besides the IE6 problem with pngs, how come you didn’t fix the background image to get rid of the gridlines? It’s easily done.
If anyone wants the fixed image please contact me at sbclark2002 at yahoo dot com and I will email it to you. It makes a world of difference, not seeing that nasty blue line across the top.
Example can be seen at Blogger
stop and think for a second about the effort it took to put the grid lines in. they’re not a glitch. they’re a wink and a nod.
/wp-includes/theme.phphas been patched by dougal. please download the updated file: theme.phpVery fresh and clean.
great template. It needed the following code in the stylesheet to show the menu correctly:
.xoxo {margin-left: 15px;}
dennis-
i’ve been thinking about that for a while, since the way i did it requires people to use widgets. i will update the theme as soon as i have a few minutes.
Alight, grab the updated version.
dennis’ code only works for people who don’t use widgets. the updated version fixes both layout and styling for non-widget users, and works as always for widget users.
Hey man! It’s me again, sorry. I just installed this theme, but I got the error: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sandbox_blog_lang() in /home/toddpbc/public_html/wp-content/themes/sandbox/header.php on line 2″
Do you know why?
Thanks dude!
have you hacked your sandbox installation at all?
make sure all the files for both wordpress 2.2.2 and sandbox 0.9.5 are intact. if you’re still getting the error, then please report it in the sandbox bugtracker.
I’m an idiot. Sorry. I wasn’t installing the theme properly.
Thanks for all your help!
hey adam i have the exact same problem as Todd above.. but i dont know where i went wrong.. i downloaded the hippies theme and sandbox 0.9.7. Both untouched. What do i do then?
thanks
This theme installs just like any other theme. install both sandbox and BFoH into
/wp-content/themes/. then select the theme from the presentation menu.Beautiful theme,thanks for great job~
Excellent theme, but I have one question: how should I go about removing the default icon (not replacing it, completely removing it?
the logo (sandbox icon)? you could upload a blank *.gif on the Custom Header page, or you could add
#header h1#blog-title a { display: none; }to the end of your CSS. If you’d rather have text than an image, you could use something like this:
#header h1#blog-title a {text-indent: 0; height: auto; background: transparent;
}
… and then style it as you please.
After installation I have a bug with header.

Could you help me?
the screenshot is refusing to load for me. can you email it to me? wp-admin@archgfx.net
Forgive my naivete, but I’m confused about the wordpress program I downloaded vs. the wordpress.com hosting site. Can this theme be uploaded for use on wordpress.com, and if not - what programs do you recommend for a ’self-hosted’ site? I think what I’m really asking for is the CSS code - the link to which is not working. I tried copying the code from the style.css page provided in the joshuaink folder, but that only resulted in a ‘bus full of hippies’ logo over the blank page. Thanks for your patience
if you’re interested in “self-hosting”, i’d heartily recommend bluehost, that’s where I host my blog, and the officially recommended host of my employer.
Most webhosts have fantastico, or some other means of installing wordpress in a few easy steps, without messing with any code.
there is a version of this theme for wordpress.com, but I will probably remove it shortly, as I cannot recommend wordpress.com at all:
http://archgfx.net/blog/2008/geek/blogging/desaparecidos-wordpresscom-sucks
the link to the CSS has been fixed now.
Thank you so much for the advice Adam. I will definitely be going with bluehost as the home for my site. Keep up the good work!
Hello there, I use wordpress Version 2.3.2. After I uploaded your zip file to wp-content/themes/joshuaink .. I notice in my presentation tab. At the bottom, it says Template is missing. Can you tell me how to fix it, I can’t load your template
thanks
Tiff - sounds like you’re missing the sandbox theme (this theme depends on that theme being installed). I’ll add a download link to that theme, since it seems a lot of people miss it.
where can i go to download that missing theme?
oh i see wt u meant .. thanks Adam

it’s also added to the post ^^
I just want to say that I love this theme, and untill I can master customizing wordpress for myself I will be using this.
Actually I think all your wordpress themes and styles are pretty amazing.
Hai just installed this theme and it is giving this error Fatal error: Call to undefined function sandbox_body_class() in /home/earnbux/public_html/roshan/wp-content/themes/sandbox/header.php on line 16
sounds like you replaced the sandbox’ functions.php with the bus full of hippies theme. see above. you should install the two themes in seperate folders.
Please forgive my ignorance, I am trying to figure out just how I should get the header on my wordpress blog I just installed it as your site indicates (or so I thought..i’m new to wordpress) but i don’t understand what to do with the header, or where I can upload a custom one.. i also dont have pshop on my laptop..
any help is appreciated, I really think I love this theme..
thank you for your help
@michelle - it appears that you’ve installed the theme incorrectly. please install both sandbox and bus full of hippies in
/wp-content/themes/(each in their own folder). right now you’ve got the bus full of hippies’style.cssinside your sandbox_1.3 folder.oops thank you for your kind help and time adam! i will try that
adam..
I installed it as you said, both folders in the theme folder this is what I got” I zipped the files first.. that’s right right?
Name Description
Stylesheet is missing.
The bus full of hippies Template is missing.
Hey, I just wanted to share with you all aWordPress ‘props’ logo I created esp. for the Bus full of hippies theme to add to your widget sidebar (txt>add img src html tag). Enjoy!
