Malleable is a child theme for the Hybrid theme framework, which means you must have Hybrid installed to use Malleable. Don’t worry. Just because it uses a framework doesn’t mean it’s complicated. It just means that your site will be a lot more powerful and all you have to do is have Hybrid installed.
How to install Malleable
- Install the Hybrid theme first. This is required to run the Malleable child theme.
- Unzip the
malleable.zipfile (you’ve probably already done this). - Upload the
malleablefolder to your/wp-content/themesdirectory. - Go to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress admin.
- Activate the Malleable theme.
Using the Theme
Theme Settings
Malleable allows you to enter information into the WordPress backend and then displays it in the theme.
Go to Appearance > Themes > Malleable.
You can enter the following information:
- Address & Phone number (displays in the header and footer)
- Front page slider settings
Front Page Template
The theme comes packaged with an extra page template for you to use called Front Page.
When you write a page, scroll down toward the bottom of the Write Page panel and select the template of your choosing. You can also set this as your home page by going to Settings > Reading and choosing the page you added the template to as your front page.
You’ll also want to add feature images and thumbnails to your posts to make them look good. For your convenience both of these are located under the Hybrid Settings meta box when you write a post. Of course, Hybrid has a built-in image script that will automatically include images for you (if you’ve attached an image).
The settings for this page template are located at Appearance > Malleable.

Um, what am i missing?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _check_activewidgets() (previously declared in /home/content/s/p/a/…/wp-content/themes/malleable/functions.php:155) in /home/content/s/p/a/…/wp-content/themes/hybrid/functions.php on line 20
hybrid is installed and seems to be working but when I try to activate malleable it pees its pants a little.
Did you edit the theme at all?
Try re-installing Hybrid and removing your widgets and then adding them back.
Hello Patrick,
I’m not able to activate the “slider”. I mean, when I posted some new posts I get the last one inside the big black section but it is static, it doesn’t change to show the rest of the “featured” posts.
my links are:

or
http://www.foro.x10hosting.com/blog
Thank you!
You probably have conflicting Javascript because of a plugin. Disable all of your plugins and see if it works. Then re-enable them one at a time and see when it breaks.
I’ve tried it withput any plugin and it didn’t work.
I don’t have a clue of what happend, maybe something is wrong with the installation but this is not the first time I try, so maybe it is related to the server.
For being sure, do I have to activate the slider?? or it is default??
How many posts I should have for it to appear? (I have tried with 5)
Thank you for your last fast response
It works now!!!
I have a second page with plugins which I dindn’t try to disable!
WP Carousel and Smooth gallery
It’s now fixed
Thanks for your time and support!
Cool theme. Thanks guy for developing it. ;-)
Thanks for your theme Patrick. Just wondering how do I remove the top category navigation that show all the different categories?
The easiest way is to find line 29 in
functions.phpand comment it out or delete. Look for this:add_action( 'hybrid_after_page_nav', 'malleable_cat_nav' );I also have a navigation question, more related to your buddypress-compatible theme.
I’d like to use a two-tiered navigation as outlined here: http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/02/12/creating-two-tiered-conditional-navigation-in-wordpress/ (this one is for a page based navigation) or here: http://grafikdesign.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/the-code-to-display-categories-two-tiered-conditional-navigation-in-wordpress/ (category based).
Now, my issue is that whereever I place the code it is breaking my theme. Once I do get it working I’d also like to show the Buddypress specific pages under one navigation item ‘community’.
any thoughts on how to solve this?

Thanks for theme
I have use this :D
I dig your theme! It’s wonderful. One little thing: I notice that when you click the author link on the homepage, it returns a file not found error. Where should I reset the path?
Good find! Actually its not a bug in the theme, but a plugin instead. In fact, its my own Hybrid Byline function. If you’re not using that then all should work fine. I just deactivated it from the demo for the time-being until I fix it.
Good to know, thanks!

How do I slow down the slider transitions? i looked in both PHP files and tinker with the code that said “0.1″ but that didn’t seem to work.
thanks,
greg
You need to open the
/malleable/library/js/jsquery.functions.jsfile. You’ll find a line specifying thetimeout. Change that to how many milliseconds you want between each transition. You can find more options and details here: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/options.htmlthanks.
Malleable is by far my favorite child theme for Theme Hybrid. Do you have any new ones in the works?
Not currently. However, later this summer there’ll be some really cool news.
is there any way to tweak the slider to make the images non-clickable?
i have three feature posts. however, i am linking two of the Post titles to pages in my site, and do not want users to be able to click on the images and be taken to the “post” page.
if that feature can’t be disabled, is there a way to edit the href tag for the images?
thanks again for all your hard work.
-greg
In
front-page.phpreplace this:array( 'Medium', 'Feature Image' ), 'default_size' => 'medium' ) ); ?>with this:
array( 'Medium', 'Feature Image' ), 'default_size' => 'medium', 'link_to_post' => false ) ); ?>sweet! thanks.
Patrick, thanks for the great theme. I was wondering if you could describe what goes into inserting a log at the top of the theme, to the left of the website title. I’m somewhat new to wordpress, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you for your great theme. I would like to know the “home” button on the menu can be changed (either renamed / deleted). Further, can we reorder the menu (categories)..? Thanks in advance
Thanks for this great theme! I’ve been looking for a new one since WP3.0 broke my old theme and yours is a great one to build from.
