If you read sites about blogging or WordPress, then you probably have heard or read about the Thesis Theme for WordPress. This theme has quickly become one of the most widely-used themes (it’s extremely versatile and powerful) for running your WordPress-powered site or blog. Thesis is really more than just a theme, it’s a framework upon which you can build nearly any type of design or layout that you could want – while being the most search-engine friendly of the themes available today.
While I’m not going to get into a review in this post – I did want to give an overview of the the theme and its capabilities.

Optimized for performance
As one of the most powerful themes on the market, Thesis delivers on value, quality, and results when implemented. I have used it and it makes managing your content, layout, and design very simple. The major aspects that go into setting up a new site have all been addressed with this theme:
- Optimized for search engines (SEO-friendly)
- User-friendly (you don’t need to know how to code or program)
- Easy-to-use interface
- Typographically optimized for best results
- Support in case you need help with something
- Lifetime upgrades included at no extra cost
Used by the professionals
Since its release, Thesis has become the choice for some of the top web professionals and some of the most highly-trafficked sites including:
- Chris Brogan
- Copyblogger
- Matt Cutts
- Tip’d
- and many other industry-leading sites
Powerful framework
As I mentioned earlier, Thesis is much more than simply a design for WordPress – it is a powerful framework that has features and functionality that put it in a class by itself.
Check out the theme
In order to really appreciate everything it does – you really need to go check out the Thesis Theme for yourself. You can watch a few of the intro videos that walk you through how it works on their site – and see for yourself why so many people are using it.
I’m using Thesis. Overall, I think it’s great. I have one question. On my blog on my home page the number of comments shown for a post will include all comments and replies. However, in each post itself it doesn’t include replies. I like to reply to each comments so normally, half the comments are from my readers and half from me. So, it’s common the see on the homepage a post has 30 comments, but then if you go into read that post, it says it only has 15 comments. Is there anyway to get the individual post to display the comment count as the same as the homepage i.e. including replies? I would really appreciate any help.
Gordie, after doing a little looking around it seems as though you probably have a plugin (I looked at your source code and it appears that you do) for threaded comments that is messing up the comment count – thus the difference on your home page and individual posts. Since the current version of Thesis and WordPress both support threaded comments, you shouldn’t need to have a plugin for threaded comments.
Try disabling your threaded comment plugin (you can always reactivate it, if this doesn’t work), then enable threaded comments in the WordPress admin area under Settings > Discussion > and make sure the box is checked “Enable threaded (nested) comments.”
Hope that works for you, let me know
Hey, it worked perfectly! We did exactly as you advised. Thank you so much. I will give you a shout out on my Saturday post.
No problem at all, glad to help out and I’m glad that it worked for you!
