So, you ever wanted a clean theme like that of Techcrunch, which is a ultimate theme which everyone want in their blog. We thought of designing a theme inspired by Techcrunch for all those lovers of clean theme . It doesn’t have all the functions of the great wordpress theme ,but still I hope you guys will love the theme due to its clean design. We also tried to make it as simple as possible to use for the end users.

Some of the features of Comppress Theme are :

  • Clean Theme
  • Social Plugins –Tweetmeme,Facebook like and Google buzz on the homepage posts and on category posts.
  • Featured Image option
  • Change the logo from admin panel
  • Change the background of the logo from admin panel
  • Change the background image of the theme from admin panel
  • Top Ad placement near the logo :728*90 (directly any ad code like Google Adsense or any affiliate link).
  • Tabbed box in the sidebar for Popular ,Recent and random with Thumbnail.
  • Feedburner Subscription box inbuilt ,just add the Feedburner ID ( like ComputerTalks for this blog)
  • 125*125 Ad boxes for private ad sales or for affiliate links
  • Two WordPress 3.0 dropdown menus
  • Author Box in the post page to display the author credentials
  • Threaded Comments
  • Widgeted sidebar
  • Widgeted Footer
  • And most importantly it completely free.

Admin Panel:

Pagination and Footer Widgets :

Adding Categories and Pages to the theme:

Mention what you want in the Primary and Secondary Menu ,you can easily add your categories and pages out there.

To Add Thumbnail just add a featured image :

Demo URL Support Forum

if the above download link doesn’t work you can use direct download link

  1. Hey nice theme. Download link is broken.

  2. working from our side in firefox and chrome ,please try again or I can send you the theme by email.

  3. How can I replace the thumbnail images to my post images ??
    How can add the categories of my blog in top menu bar ??

    Please help, i tried but not found the options.

  4. To add thumbnail image to a post assign featured image for each and every post you are using .
    And for adding category go to the menu and assign category to the primary menu . See the screenshot I have attached .

  5. From where I can assign featured image ?? Is there any option of featured image in this theme ?

  6. Its there in the wordpress itself, when you edit a post just see below the categories or when you upload a picture in a post there’s an option to make it featured image .

  7. i liked the demo… but the download link is broken…

  8. sent you the theme direct download link, btw the download link is working fine from our side .

  9. Very nice template.But download link is not working.can u plz send me direct download link?

  12. Thanks for the theme

  13. I am really appreciate your work. Awesome theme indeed!

    If you can add a featured post as shown on techcrunch or Makeuseof it would be more attractive.

  14. We are looking into that in our next release, just wait for the next release. This is just a basic version ,we will be back with lot more features

  15. Great work guys.

    I’ve been looking for a techcrunch style theme for ages. I made do with some other awesome themes but I still think this one is brilliant.

    Any chance of getting a 300×250 square option above the ‘popular posts’?

    Or can I add a div class in the sidebar to bring one to the top?

    Cheers
    Chris

  16. @Chris its not that tough check this implemented out here http://www.falconhive.com/

  17. nice theme, I have no problem except that I could’t replace the thumbnail images to my post images,although I used, featured image, as mentioned above.

    Any help will be appreciate

  18. Can leave your site address so that we can look after that

  19. Also if you are using any custom field then don’t use those.

  20. The Comppress theme looks pretty sleek and nice. Will keep this, might use it in one of my later projects.

  21. Feels good that you like it.

  22. Is this theme violate any copyright ? I don’t want to get in to any copy-right issue later.
    Madav recently posted..Orkut Got flooded with New virus “Bom Sa bado”

  23. This doesn’t violate any copyright issue, this theme is built from scratch and if you see there are lots of features which differ from Techcrunch .

  24. Really like this theme. Thanks so much. How do I move the subscribe area widget? Wanted it to be last on right hand side. Featured image does not link to post when clicked and needs to for each article. The articles the function does not work so no spaces between paragraphs wgich is automatic in the latest wordpress version. Would like to see a cool categories dropdown menu function. Would also be cool if there was a simple way to change the color scheme. Would be willing to pay $5 for a theme with all the bell’s and whistles.

  25. when is the second version coming out?

  26. i cant add a thumbnail!!! PlseHelp!

  27. One more problem, how add new line. I have add but still not working

  28. thank you so much… i have used your theme.

    • Hi, theworldwinner..

      Thanks for share us this amazing theme, but why there is no h1, h2 and h3 in this theme? Can you explain to us? I think you are mastering SEO too, but why you don’t make the title tag? Please explain to us. Hope get satisfied answer.

      P.S. We will thank you very much if you share the sliding feature image too. :lol:

      Best Regards.

  40. I am using this theme. Thank you! How do I make a featured slider like on tech crunch and comp talks?

    thanks!

  41. If anyone is wondering why some images in the posts are shrunk, and would like to allow them to be larger look in styles.css file. Search for the following:

    .excerpt .entry img
    {
    max-width: 640px;
    max-height: 640px;
    width: expression(this.width > 640 ? 640: true);
    height: expression(this.height > 640 ? 640: true);
    }

    .excerpt2 .entry img
    {
    max-width: 640px !important;
    max-height: 640px !important;
    width: expression(this.width > 640 ? 640: true);
    height: expression(this.height > 640 ? 640: true);
    }

    Originally, mine was set at 175, and changed it to 640. Everyone of them looks perfect now.

    To find styles.css, click on Appearance in the Dashboard, and click on editor. Then look for it on the right side. Select it. I hope that helps.

    Awesome theme! Thanks!!
