Multi – a Child-Theme of Desk Mess Mirrored
Marble desktop covered with a mix of old and new items, such as some vintage papers, a stainless steel pen, and, a hot cup of coffee! This theme has the added RSS image in the cup and some of the basic multi-author functionality enabled.
Download from the WordPress Extend Themes repository here.
Please note, you must install the Parent-Theme Desk Mess Mirrored, v2.1 for this Child-Theme to activate and work correctly.

I was wondering if it were possible to upload a logo into the header instead of the generic “My New Blog”. If so how?
@Waldon – It appears you sorted it out. Well Done!
i am using Desk Mess on my site (with some customizations), and i LOVE it. Will this version of the theme give me any improvements over what i have now?
@Joel – Your theme looks more like the original “Desk Mess” and not like my “Desk Mess Mirrored” or this Child-Theme; although I would suspect you would find a more “core” WordPress functions and features supported in my versions, I cannot speak to what the actual differences would be.
Thanks Edward, i’m now running the new version of Desk Mess Mirrored.
Question, i’m looking at the preview of Multi, Desk Mess Mirrored’s child theme, and i’m not sure what the differences between it and the Parent theme. Can you elaborate.
Thanks for a great product.
@Joel – The main difference is basically the orange RSS image in the coffee cup, now … when Multi was first introduced it handled some multiple author functionality that has now since been better addressed in the core WordPress files.
Thanks so much!
When a post is added to my blog page, the comment section disappears. How can I correct this?
@DeBora – I’m not understanding what the problem is … the blog post appears to be displaying correctly. Perhaps you could provide more details what you believe needs to be corrected.
took care of it!
Hey I love this theme. I am curious to know though. are Ads allowed on the front page of this theme at all?
@tj – Thanks! There are no specific ad spaces set aside in the theme, but you can easily add them via widget areas in the sidebar.
Hi
Im using the Multi theme – but it seems that as soon as I add addition menu items – the last two default to the RSS feed link.
Thoughts?

@Frank – Yes, there is a “z-index” issue that should be corrected with the next release of Desk Mess Mirrored (or you can get the latest working copy from the GitHub link noted in the theme’s documentation). The ‘#cup’ element should have a z-index value of 1090.
Hello！I love this theme!Very good design!
I want to put mini calenders beside each entry titles,but I can’t.
Only one mini calender that showed oldest entry date at the page,please look at my site.
I would take mistakes where to insert (I made CSS and put to desk-mess-mirroed.php)
I’m very happy if you would give some hints.
Sorry for poor writing,I’m Japanese.
*I made the following lines.
月
And I insert the lins after “”.
Thank you.
@kwauch – You need to move the code you added into “the_Loop”; in the original ‘desk-mess-mirrored.php’ loop file you might try adding your code directly after line 41
<div class="postdata">. You may also want to look at the post format loops and place your code in a similar place.Thank you very much!
It’s difficult but I’ll try it!
@kwauch – Great! I look forward to reading about your success.
i absolutely love this theme, but is there anyway to change the objects at the top of the page and put different ones there instead.
@Alex – There are several ways you can accomplish this depending on your skill-set. You can over-write the images; you can re-write this Child-Theme to use the images you want to use; or you can upload your new images and add a custom style sheet to use them instead. Unfortunately there is no WordPress core functionality that can manage multiple header images, yet … and, thanks for choosing Multi!
Hello Edward -
Just came across this theme today and started using it! So far, it is working great. A few questions:
1 – is it possible (with my limited html/css knowledge) to change the color of the post-its for the menu items?
2 – is it possible to remove the “»Page Permalink«” on the home page?
3 – is it possible to make the text for the comments section smaller?
4 – are you planning on adding social media icons as part of future revisions of this template? One idea might be to consider replacing the app icons on the iPhone with social media icons?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
@Faris – Thanks for choosing Multi. I’ll answer you questions in the same fashion you have asked them:
1 – The “post-its” are actually images, you could re-work them graphically but generally not through any “easy” CSS
2 – See line 83 in ‘desk-mess-mirrored.php’ in the Desk Mess Mirrored theme files … this may change with future updates
3 – Look at this (and a few others, but this will get you started) CSS element: `div.comment-body p` … you will likely need to add it via a plugin or some other method of adding custom CSS to the Child-Theme
4 – An interesting idea to use social media icons in the phone image but not likely to be something added to this Child-Theme or the Parent-Theme.
Also to note, any changes you make to this Child-Theme’s files may be over-written with the next update to the Child-Theme.
Lol –
1. Hello Edward, thanks for this cool WP Desk Mess template.
1. How do I edit and remove the text on the bottom of the comment box. I want to remove (You may use these HTML tags and attributes… etc.)
2. How do I edit the “Leave a Reply” above the comment box also.
3. I am having issue getting the menu to drop down to show the child menu like it does on this site.
Thanks! Cool template!

First off, thank you for choosing the Desk Mess Mirrored Theme. Please see below for your itemized answers:
*This snippet is not fully tested but should work in most cases:
function bns_change_comment_title_reply( $defaults ) { $defaults['fields']['title_reply'] = 'The New Title Reply'; return $defaults; } /** End function - change comment title reply */ add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'bns_change_comment_title_reply' );Thank you Edward
I appreciate your help. – The text below the comment box is now clear after editing the style.css file and adding p.form-allowed-tags { visibility: hidden; } and
edited the comments.php template file
I finally also figured out how to create the drop down effect by dragging the child menu under the main menu and positioning it slightly to the right. Cool, thank you very much for your help Edward, take care… enjoy your Sunday.
