ACMS Theme for WordPress
ACMS theme has been updated to v1.4
ACMS (not a blog) is a theme that turns WordPress into a Content Management System.
Blog posts become news items
Blog pages become CMS pages
The front page can be configured with static HTML content.
Use it for anything you might use a CMS for - sell a product, make a portal, etc…
It’s a fixed-width, 3 column theme, compatible with WP 2.2. and has been tested on Firefox 1.5, 2.0, Internet Explorer 6 and Opera 9.
This theme is not sponsored, and is released under the terms of GPL v2

Release notes:
WordPress can be configured to display a static page as its front page - ACMS allows the index page to have a different layout from other pages and display latest posts as news items.
(Sidebar) Widgets are available and optional - any other sitewide content may be added easily to the left sidebar.
Comments are removed from posts - (so no comment spam then…)
Categories/Archives are implemented - if you want to switch back to a standard blog, they’re all still there.
Ping, for example, Technorati and news items will appear exactly as if blog posts.
mod_rewrite permalinks - this has been tested with the common combinations, but there may some that don’t play properly.Consider this a beta - it’s best practice to take a database copy before you install any new WordPress theme on a working site.

Nice themes. I used it for my weblogs.
I want to put the the sidebar widget function in the right sidebar. But i still want to keep the news widgets function there. Can you help me?

The call to the widgets/sidebar, currently in sidebar.php
if ( acms_widgets() && function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) { }
can always be moved around to wherever you want it - you’d almost certainly have to restyle the CSS…

I was trying to figure out how to remove the line of text “Just another WordPress weblog” from the site. I have made most of my other customizations, but this one is stumping me. Any clues?

It’s the tagline - in Options > General

Hi there. Thanks for this theme. I am using it on my website. I have a problem with the theme. The search queries are displaying full content of each post every time I use the search for informations. Is there a way to make the search result only to display summaries? Like the title and some short summary and with more or read more… ? I don’t know PHP so don’t know to edit it. Thanks again.

And also for the categories. How to make it only display title of post and summaries not full content. If can also include the commenting also will make this theme even more dynamic.
Thanks.

@kathiroly
Excerpts should work on search and categories - you have to put the “more” tags in the posts when drafting/editing

Admin > Presentation > Edit ACMS should do it…

Hi Karen,
Thanks for a great theme. Can you tell me how to show only posts from a particular category (”News”) in the news column on the right please? If this is core WP stuff and too much to explain here, could you point me to an article that explains it clearly? I’ve read WP docs but just get lost in the detail.

…and as soon as I posted that question, I found the answer:
In the following theme file:
Presentation->Theme Editor->Main Index Template
line 27:
$number_string = ‘numberposts=’ . acms_news_items();
/* my required category id is ‘3′ */
$category = ‘category=3′;
$lastposts = get_posts($number_string . ‘&’ . $category);
This will also need to be changed in any area where the news column appears and should be restricted to only one category.
