Inspired by a certain GPS Manufacture, I designed this theme to feel like you're looking through a window out into the wilderness and hopefully inspire you to explore. I'm constantly adding new features to this theme to allow you to personalize it to your own needs. If you want a new feature or just want to be able to change something just ask me and I would be happy to add it for you. I would like to thank you for your support, visit the Theme URI for the update history, and Enjoy!
Thank you for downloading and installing the WordPress Theme “Adventure.” I hope that you enjoy it and that I can continue to create these beautiful themes for years to come. But, if you could take a moment and become acutely aware that I have created this Theme and other themes free of charge, and while I’m not looking to get rich, I really like creating these themes for you guys. Which is why I offer additional customization of “Adventure” when you support me and install the “Adventure+” on your WordPress. If you’re interested in supporting my work, or need some of the addition features in “Adventure+” just purchase it using the “Add to Cart” button above.
Thanks again,
Eric Schwarz
The video is for Semper Fi, but it is completely the same step. Also I will be creating a video specifically for Adventure soon.

The WordPress Theme Adventure files and folders in zip format can be downloaded by clicking on this link. The plus version of the Theme Adventure can only be downloaded after you have completed the checkout process. If you have any trouble obtaining the plus version after purchasing it, contact me using this form.
Now, under your Appearance Tab, in the Themes directory you should now have your new theme under the name “Adventure” or “Adventure+.”
| Version | |
|---|---|
| 2.4 | Added the ablitity to put soical icon and/or a search bar into the menu. Fixed the issue with the theme display “and comments are closed.” Added Google Analytics and Web Master Tool option because everyone should have it and more control of over the comments display too. The option to choose either display excerpts or the entire content of a post or page. You can choose to display dates on posts. |
| 2.2 | The update this time around was mainly for Adventure+ but in the process I added in a few more features. I included the option to have the menu lock to the top of the screen or the bottom similar to how the theme use to look. A lot of people asked for the ability to remove the “previous” & “next” links that come after content and I you guys one better. You now have the choice to remove the “previous” & “next” from just posts, just page, or both and you still can have it display the same. The slider and the content portion can now change to any color and adjust the opacity from 0% to 100% in 5% intervals. I also spent some time cleaning and organizing the customizer page, which means it is laid out a bit differently now but it works just the same. You now have the option to adjust the the amount of space fromt he top of the page to the where the content begins. I might have missed a thing or two but future updates should come much sooner with this hurdle cleared. |
| 2.1 | This is main an update to fix issues that I and others (like you) have found and fixed for the theme. The content no longer shifts to the right after the sidebar and embed video from YouTube and Vimeo are now responsive when embedded, plus some other minor stuff. I have also introduced the ablity change the color of the content of the background of content. In the next update I will include the ablity to change the sidebar. |
| 1.8 | The entire code for the WordPress theme “Adventure” has been completely rewritten in Version 1.8 and is a complete re-release of the theme. Not a single shred of code survived, and for good reason. The code was written over 3 years ago, before the HTML5 / CSS3 revolution, and had to be compatible with IE6 back then. Now that its three years later, I’m much better at coding and coupled with the progress made with HTML standards, the theme is back. While “Adventure” looks for the most part the same, there is a lot more happening in the code. |
| Version | |
|---|---|
| 6 | Same as “Adventure 2.4″ but I got some stuff special to you guys for next release. |
| 5 | Same as “Adventure 2.3″ but more. |
| 4 | Major backend update which is mainly for Adventure+ to implement a bunch of features, in particular the Logo that I have received so many emails for. If you have any trouble using the logo for your website send me an email about it and I’ll take a look, this isn’t exact science and I might need to adjust the code some. I included the option to have the menu lock to the top of the screen or the bottom similar to how the theme use to look. I add in the ability to adjust the spacing from the top of the page to where the content and sidebar begins. You can also change the color of the font in the content, but it will receive more work in a future update. A lot of people asked for the ability to remove the “previous” & “next” links that come after content and I you guys one better. You now have the choice to remove the “previous” & “next” from just posts, just page, or both and you still can have it display the same. The slider and the content portion can now change to any color and adjust the opacity from 0% to 100% in 5% intervals. I also spent some time cleaning and organizing the customizer page, which means it is laid out a bit differently now but it works just the same. You now have the option to adjust the the amount of space fromt he top of the page to the where the content begins. I might have missed a thing or two but future updates should come much sooner with this hurdle cleared. |
| 3 | Nothing extra, just the same great code that Adventure 1.9 recieved in the latest update to the themes. |
| 2 | Since completely rewriting all the code for Adventure, and because Adventure+ is dependant and Adventure, I have designated that version 2 of Adventure+ is considered the initial re-release. |
Hi Schwartzy, I purchased Adventure+. I need to remove the page title from the home page. I know youve said you plan to update…. but I can’t wait. Please just tell me what to put in the functions.php file. THANKS!!
I’ll be sending an email with the code shortly.
In the normal version of xxx I could change the font. I want to change the font in the blog title.
Unfortunately, I get no more response since I have transferred the money.
I have just bought the plus version so I can change the font.
I ask for your help.
Maybe I’m just too stupid for that.
write back
http://carltheodor-restaurant.de/1test this is my website and I want to change the heading font
If you get the update it can, it seems you have an old version.
Hi Eric!
Is it possible to have different background images for different pages, at the same time, in the Adventure+? I am going to order it, regardless, but that would be the Cherry on this already beautiful Sundae.
I am new to WordPress and after many…many trial and error uploads of different themes, yours is the one I will use to build my New Home. I still don’t know how to use all the great options that Adventure has, but I do know that Adventure+ will be the way to go. After all…this IS an adventure!
Thank You Eric!
Warm Wishes,
Kimmy Jay
Currently it is not possible to have a different background images for different pages. I have heard of plugins that do this but I haven’t used them. I’m really starting to consider doing it, but this would be a while before I implemented it.
HI Eric, love the theme and bought it. Happy to support you, nice work. I do not have the option listed to verify the purchase. Any thoughts?
Your most likely still on the Free Version, did upload a new version? and did you active the theme (appearance -> themes -> Adventure Plus)?
Hi Eric,
I’m just here to gush. No problems or questions; I’m actually on my way to purchase Adventure+. This is simply amazing! I’m brand new to setting up a web site… as in about 7 hours old now … and your theme makes me look like a pro!! Thank you for your generosity – $15 is an absolute steal for the features your theme provides. I’m looking forward to working with Plus & seeing how far I can go with this!
With much appreciation,
Buffy Marie | The Wreak Peace Project
Thanks for the complements! Just note that I have been needing to update the Adventure Plus with the new features for the past week, but I should get to it very soon.
Hi Eric,
I got the Adventure+ and I’m happy to support this theme.
I was wondering if there is an easy way to control the size of the body content box. I’m not using the widgets, so I’d like to expand the content box.
Any ideas?
The theme is responsive, so if you browse it on a bigger screen it gets bigger. It is a finely tuned process to balance everything, so it isn’t easily changed, but I’ll look into it for you if you want.
Hi Eric,
just bought the Adventure+ theme. Really nice work! Is it possible to have different backgrounds for my different sites? For example: by clicking “H3 Hummer” you get another background which fits to the topic. This would be really nice.
Greetings from Germany,
Martin
Hey Martin,
I recommend finding and using a plugin for this, because I’m currently not happy with the code it would take for me to do this and have put it off for right now.
Question on the Adenture+ theme – I would like to hide the page title from the page itself. I’ve googled it and found some helpful answers, but your theme doesn’t seem to go along with the answers I found on how to do it. Is there a line in your index.php page that can be removed or altered to make the page title hidden?
There a way to do that in the index.php file, but I will be adding that to the options in the Theme Customizer in the update I hope to have by the end of the week. It may be a premium option though.
It’s all good, I figured. I’m embarrassed to say I was making a rookie mistake of not doing hard-refreshes and was getting confused about my changes weren’t showing up so I thought it had something to do with the template. Don’t mind me, nothing to see here move along… *whistles*
Hi, the theme is responsive, great, but the background isn’t it, on small diplay like the ipad my picture is cut. How can I fix it?
That’s because the iPad doesn’t support it, which means there is no fixing it.
The theme makes the content box of my SImple Press forum really narrow and swishy. How can I remedy this?
Great design and awesome features. It’s also a bargain at 15$, but especially so compared to most other templates I have seen. I’m having a bit of trouble getting my font kit to work, but thats probably me. Well done!
Soon I’ll have Google Web Fonts built into the theme making it even easier to change the fonts around.
I like the system they use. That would be a great feature!
I’m enjoying customizing my site with Adventure +, but am having problems changing the font. I got a weird message that said, “Cheatin’ eh?” or something like that. Any tips?? Also, when will Google Web Fonts be available for use on it? And will I be able to add more than one font (ex. Header in one font, main page notes in another). Thanks!!!
I hope to get Google web fonts in it today, and yes you will be able to have the font different in the header and content. The “Cheatin’ eh?” is minor error that some times happens when you first active the theme because I redirect you to the theme information page. If it causes any errors tell me and I’ll look into it further.
How can I widen the content boxes when using the Adventure+ theme?
It isn’t very easy to do, but do you know that the theme is responsive and will change it’s size dependent on the computer using it?
Hi Eric, great theme. Have Adventure+ and everything was working well until I updated to WordPress 3.5.1 and I get the following error:
“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/26/8649626/html/4loveoftraveling/wp-content/themes/travel-blogger/functions.php:1) in /home/content/26/8649626/html/4loveoftraveling/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866″
I Googled the error and guess it has something to do with a space causing a syntax problem. I tried to find it and could not. Any ideas?
It’s because of a plugin your running.
Hi Eric,
I’m thinking about purchasing the Adventure+ theme. I wanted to know if for the pages, for example the home page, can I remove the sidebar that shows archives, tags, etc and have that limited to only the blog section? For the page layout is it possible to have on the main page three boxes for example a welcome box with info, latest events box linking to the blog page and a latest news page also linking to the blog page? If that makes any sense
Also, are there any issues if I want the navigation background box to be transparent can that be done without affecting the text and banner image? Thanks!
I’m working on making so you can have transparent navigation for a future update. As for the widgets / sidebar, all you need to do is remove the widgets from the widget by going to “Appearance -> Widget” and just drag them out of the box.
I’m trying to decide on whether to purchase your theme. Any response is appreciated. Thanks!
OOps nevermind
I see your response thanks!
this is a fantastic theme, thank you erik. there is only one thing I’d like to change and that is the capitalization of letters of site title and tagline. I’ve always used my site name with lower-case. is there a way I can do that?
There will be soon.
Really well done!
I just wanted to ask if there is a way to get along with your code changes related settings excerpt … Greetings!
What are you looking to do with excerpt?
Hello! I would like to get an overview of the post page, and then open the actual post. I just do not seem to work with the plugin, nor with elle d code changes. Indeed, it seems mess up the template after the changes, Greetings
Hello Erik
Nice job !
when we have buy the previos version where we can download the last version ? or need we pay again ?
Peter
Nope, all you have to do is send me an message some how and I’ll send you the new code.
Hello Erik,
i have installed Adventure yesterday, a really nice theme, thanks! I want to use it only as a website and not as a blog. Can you tell me, is it possible to remove “by admin and comments are closed.” and “older post” ?
Thanks,
Uli
I’ll be bring an update soon that allows for just that.
How do I change the font color to white in the main background without going through the paid TypeKit? I have been using a black theme with white or gray text and with images that have black backgrounds. Changing to the Adventure+ Theme was great except I want to make the main background as dark as possible while making the font white or gray. Doing this will really hide the edges of my images while allowing visitors to easily read my content. Thanks for any advice.
Kevin,
If you can hold on for a week or so I will have an easy to use build into function for the theme to change the color. If you can’t wait, take a look at the file Style.CSS, it has everything in there for the colors.
The version matrix, above, shows version 3 of Adventure+. How do I obtain this version? When I use the download link in my email I receive only version 2.
Just a mistake, I forgot to update the number in the file but you got the latest version even though it shows version 2.
Hi, nice Theme I like it.
Is it possible to add the Nav on the left side? Maybe the widget sidebar to the left side and then a custom nav in the sidebar?
And the Navbar on the top should be removed ^^
These features are going in the next update, but I will only be adding these features to the premium version.
Thanks Schwarttzy, I’m sold. Great theme.
I’m glad you like it! Your website seems like a perfect fit for the theme.
Haven’t used your template Adventure+ before. I paid for it and now not sure how to implement it. Dumb question I know but I am drawing blanks with all the OT I have been working. Any help would be appreciated
Well you have to download the theme from my website, after paying you will be redirected to page to download after which I have instruction above on installing the theme.
I really enjoyed the system of semi-transparent pages with the background.
Congratulations on your idea.
I am a beginner in making a website and would be very useful for me to have the opportunity to rearrange the layout
Hi there – loving the theme, very stylish.
Excuse me for being a bit of a newbie and asking dumb questions:
I’d like to add very plain navigation buttons to the side navigation bar (which I’ve already made and uploaded to media) – where is the place to attempt this, is it through the customizable menu label OR is it through the style.css ?
Also if I want to change fonts for the side bar is that also in the style.css ?
In the Adventure Plus options – after code activation – all the images for the choices are broken so I can’t see any of them, any idea why this might be?
Many thanks,
cass
You need to just add the widget for the menu to the sidebar, as for changing the fonts… I’ll have an update very soon.
Hello,
I was just curious when you might be releasing a new version of your theme. I had asked previously if you would be able to have drop down menus instead of the current way they work and you mentioned that you were working on it for the next version.
Thanks again for the great theme!
your theme is beautiful im using it for a site im building, one question i would love to be able to change the background photo in a rotation with maybe 5-10 different scenes do you have a facility within the script or is there someway i can get it
many thanks
jules
Hey Jules,
I know that there are plugins out there that do just what you’re asking for but for me I want my theme to use the WordPress.org Standards which is why I haven’t done it yet. Search for plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and you should be successful.
Thanks for using my theme,
Eric Schwarz
Great theme, has anyone found a background manager that works? I’ve played with a couple and no joy.
Great theme Schwarttzy I am just starting to use it at my site .I am very pleased with your work and am very well aware at the hours of time spent to develop this theme .Just giving a great thumbs up .Larry the bottle digger from New England Mass
Hi,
I am interested on your Theme adventure+. Can I change for exampe the date in the German format? Is it possible the show the name of the writer under the article?
Greetings from Germany
blessi
Hey Blessi,
It is possible and if you want I can personally do just that for you. All I need is what you want what to say and a Username / Password so I can create a Child theme for you.
Hi,
perfect. I bought your Theme a few weeks ago. Can I send you a Email with my wishes?
Hi,
no Feedback?
Hi! Love the Adventure+ theme, but I have a question. Would you consider adding the possibility of changing background depending on what page you go to? Or is there already any way of doing this? Thanks!
Ford
Hey Ford,
I get this question all the time. I haven’t done much research on having the background change depending on the page. I know that if you search on WordPress.org you will find plugins that can do it, but because I’m stuck using WordPress Theme Standards it really isn’t an option for me right now. But you could post up a request for that feature in the forums to be included in future releases.
I am testing the Adventure+ 2.5.0 on our site. I have a quick question.
When I create a new page, it is added to the menu (across the top in this case). I like the menu, but is there a way to not have all pages be listed on the menu? I can see where I can change the order and nesting, but I have some pages that I do not want to be on that menu.
Thanks,
Fred
If you go to “Appearance” then “Menu” you will see the option to build your own menu just how you want.
Thanks… figured it was something that simple.
Love the Adventure+ theme, but I was curious, is there a way to change the behavior of the menu in the Adventure+ theme to be a drop down instead of the way it currently behaves (second horizontal bar)? Everyone I have demoed my site to thus far has mentioned how awkward it is to use.
Thanks,
Travis
Ya that is something I’m working on right now for the next update.
That is awesome! Also, thanks for the quick response…any idea when the next release will be available? I was hoping to go live with our new website within the next few weeks and would LOVE to have that available.
With the adventure+ will i be able to remove the leave a reply box? Also can I make the header transparent as well?
Currently this isn’t possible without hard coding it, but these are some features I would like to include in next update.
Sorry I’m prob being thick, but I’m trying to change the post titles into bold type. (cos to some people is seems the title isn’t always obviously clear esp on gallery posts). I been trawling thru the style.css but I’m not seeing what i need – can u direct me pls, thnx.
Sorry bout that, sorted it 2 mins later!
