The “Aqua Vaccinium” WordPress theme was originally intended for use on a clients site, but they have since decided to go with a red theme and use Dreamweaver (ick!) instead of WordPress, so we have decided to release this theme to you for free.

Aqua Vaccinium features a smooth blue and green theme and has a prominent Suckerfish dropdown menu built in (no plugin needed).

Bugs/feature requests

If you find a bug or would like an extra feature which isn’t present in the standard Aqua Vaccinium theme, feel free to leave a comment in our themes forum.

If you require any customisations specific to your site, please get in touch via our contact form.

Theme files

We’ve tried to keep the theming as simple as possible to allow for easy customisation. There are only five template files, plus images, javascript and css files. I’ve included the original build file for the logo (PSD format), so you can edit it to match your own site name.

The main dropdown menu is set to display categories by default, but you can insert other pages into your dropdown if you like (leave a post in our themes forum if you need help with this).

The blue section (below the main menu) displays either the blog description or the category description depending on what page you are on. If the blog or category description is missing, this will be left blank.

Naming

The word Aqua came from the mixture of the blue and green tones of the design. The name Vaccinium is the genus for a variety of berries including blue berries which we baked a pie for in honour of the new theme.

Note: This plugin has been superceded by the ‘Multi-level Navigation Plugin‘.

This plugin generates the code necessary to create a Son of Suckerfish WordPress dropdown menu.

Download

The plugin is available for download here … Suckerfish WordPress Plugin

Installation

Add the following code wherever you want the dropdown to appear in your theme (usually header.php) and activate the plugin in your admin panel.

This code adds a button for your home page and dropdowns for your Pages, Archives, Categories and Blogroll.
<?php if (function_exists('suckerfish')) {suckerfish();} ?>

Customisation

You can modify the look of your dropdown by using our new Online Suckerfish Dropdown CSS Generator. The generator has been designed with this plugin in mind, so just copy and paste the CSS code from the generator to the plugins options page.

Credits

Thanks to Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb for their article which we used as a model for the CSS used in this plugin. And thanks to Miriam Schwab for writing the blog post which motivated us to create it.

Support

For support, please visit the dropdown menus board in our support forum. Please note that many new features are available in the ‘Multi-level Navigation Plugin‘ so you should check that out before asking any questions about this plugin.
