Carrington Mobile Theme For WordPress is the most common mobile theme used by Nigerian blogs, sometimes last year, I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to manipulate/customize Carrington mobile theme for wordpress here, I believe many found it really useful as I got a lot of feedbacks and comments. Based on the requests I got, I decided to play around the theme, gave it a face lift. A demo is running here or checkout the screenshots below. You can follow the instructions in my previous post to install and customize the template further but if you’re stucked at any point u can always drop a comment here. I’ll be glad to help 🙂
Why Carrington theme is the best for blogs?
- It has a simple and clean look.
- Because it doesn’t show much details, it loads very fast which is good for SEO (I went further to optimize this version to load even faster)
- It is easy to customize (your PHP & CSS knowledge is the only limit u have..lol)
- It’s free to use 😀
A copy of the template is live on this website(click here), Here are screenshots of what the template looks like after customization.

Please tomisin, after installing my the plugin… How do i change the weight of all my font. All the text of my post and every font on my blog is bold making it hard to read sometimes. Why is it link that and how to i make them show normally?
Oh..my bad! I left a <b> tag un-closed
To fix this, kindly login to ur dashboard, open carrington and edit headers-default.php
After opening headers-default.php, search for <b>, kindly delete the first <b> you see (i.e the one in front of a <center> ). Save n enjoy
BTW, this has been corrected in the theme.
Can’t still find it! see my screenshot here: http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/416216/c55c7a3cb392bd9a00459e233caeb463

hello i just install carrinton on my blog and it works fine but not showing my post on home page and all categories only showing recent posts and pages.
Hello Lawal,
To rectify this, login to your dashboard, under settings select reading, under Front page displays select your latest posts
that should fix it
How can I increase the number of post in my home page
Please check the Post above, it has been updated
Thanks man.
Have uploaded it to my site
Once you’ve uploaded it, copy the image link.
You’ll need to open header-default.php and paste your image link on a particular line that looks like dz i m g s r c=“ http :// syntocode. com/ wp-content/ bla bla/ logo. jpg “ />
Please refer to this post http://syntocode.com/install-customize-carrington-mobile-theme-wordpress/
