This theme has been used for the past year by our client Fresh Edge Hockey. The theme is designed for use with our Simple CMS WordPress Plugin. It is designed purely for use on static websites and is not suitable for blogs or sites which require sidebars.

Ice Edge WordPress Theme
Features
As with the Simple CMS theme, “Ice Edge” does not display comments, tags or categories. This theme is only designed to display WordPress Pages as part of a static website.
Support
Support for this theme is available in our themes support board.
The Simple CMS WordPress Theme is designed as a development theme for our Simple CMS WordPress plugin. This theme is not designed to look pretty, but is a practical, simple theme to build your own designs from.

Features
The theme does not display comments, tags, categories or anything related to posts only. This theme is intended to display WordPress Pages and nothing else.
The entire theme folder contains only four PHP files, unlike WordPress’s default Kubrick theme which uses 16! Hopefully this will make building themes for static websites a lot easier as there is less junk to remove to create your simple static site.
Note: Just like the Simple CMS WordPress plugin, this theme is only designed to work with WordPress Version 2.5 or above.
Note: Support for the Simple CMS WordPress plugin has been discontinued. If you are interested in having this product upgraded for the latest version of WordPress then please contact us for information about paid plugin development.
The Simple CMS WordPress plugin converts the WordPress blog tool into a basic CMS (Content Management System). Simple CMS removes all of the complicated blogging functionality which is not needed for a basic static website. This allows for easier use of the admin panel by non web designers.

Note: The demo site is on an extremely slow server. The plugin will likely operate much faster and reliably on your own web host.
Installing
Simply upload the folder to your plugins directory, then head to the plugins page in your WordPress admin panel and activate the plugin.
If you are a “WordPress Administrator” you will not see any difference, but if you log in as a “WordPress Editor” or below, you will see a vastly simplified administration panel suitable for simple static websites.
To modify the items shown in the admin menu, go to the “Simple CMS” options page in the “Settings” menu.
Theming
To help with developing themes for static websites powered by WordPress, I’ve released the Simple CMS WordPress Theme (demo).
The plugin doesn’t do anything exotic, the original code is still there, it is just hidden from view via CSS. Users will still be able to access the hidden areas of the admin panel if they know what they are doing.
