Current Stable Version: 1.5.3
Released On 1/19/2010
The Unwakeable WordPress theme and is a combination of K2 and Unsleepable. Basically, I used K2 as a starting point, and replaced the default K2 header with a modified header from Unsleepable. After getting a few requests from people wanting this theme, I’ve decided to release it to the public.
Please note, this is not a “style” for K2. This is a totally independent theme. However, it should still be able to make use of existing K2 styles that are compatible with K2. Unwakeable is widget ready and supports all the plugins already supported by K2, in addition to some others.
If you have any requests, comments, problems, or complaints, please let me know. I’ll be glad to make requested modifications if I find them to be useful. If you’re wondering about the name, I chose it because it can be nearly impossible to make me wake up at times. And it’s the opposite of “Unsleepable”, I guess…
For instructions on creating your own title image, see Ben Gray’s tutorial. Once you’ve created the image, save it as title.gif and upload title.gif to wp-content/themes/unwakeable/images/. A good resource for help with customizing Unwakeable is the K2 wiki, most information there applies to Unwakeable as well.

2007-09-04: Unwakeable 1.2.1 Released. This version fixes the XSS vulnerability found in the search facility of Unwakeable 1.2. It’s recommended that all users upgrade to 1.2.1 or patch your 1.2 installations.
2007-01-07: Unwakeable 1.2 Released. Fixed header CSS so the black area is flush with the gray area to the right. Added another visual style for these changelogs. Added support for Gregarious and Landing Sites plugins. Gave this theme it’s own options in the wp_options table, this way you can have separate configurations if you have both K2 and Unwakeable installed. Also included is an upgrade script for converting your K2 options right over to the new Unwakeable fields. We’re now showing post ratings, post views, and Digg on pages. Previously these were only shown on actual posts.

2006-10-10: Version 0.9.1 released, the initial release. Using K2 0.9.1 and Unsleepable 1.7 code.

I think its awesome that you’ve kept this theme going for 3 or more oddd years now – very rare indeed :)
Hey there,
Firstly I’d like to say i LOVE your theme, it’s great, does exactly what i need it to do.
The only problem i have, and i wouldn’t say it’s an overall ‘problem’, is that when I ran the site through the ‘Validated’ plugin, and varies websites online, to check the varies things to make sure it conforms to standards, it brings up several errors on the pages. I just wondered if it’s something you new about or if there was anything you could do to help.
Regards,
Jess
Any updates on my query?
Regards,
Jessica
Jessica, I will look into this for you. I haven’t checked a default Unwakeable install for XHTML validity for a while, so I will do that this evening at some point.
If a default install comes back with errors, I will fix them and issue a new release.
Please keep in mind that certain plugins or code snippets can break valid markup, so the problem could be related to something else on your site as well.
I will make sure Unwakeable is XHTML 1.0 strict valid though. And if it’s not I’ll make it valid and make a new release.
Will let you know what I find here in a day or so.
Nice theme. May very well consider this for a future project. Many thanks for posting.

First of all, congratulations for this great theme! I’ll try to use it in my blog.
I need to ask you a question. I want to change a few things in the place where the coments are shown for each post, where it shows the name of the commenter, date and avatar, but I can’t find in which file is located this code. Can you help me?
Thank you very much!

hey having some issues with the new update and RC2 check or email me for more details !!
It looks like this theme not working well with Wordpress 2.7.1
file: k2/app/includes/info.php
// Separates classes with a single space, collates classes for BODY
$c = join( ‘ ‘, attribute_escape( apply_filters(‘body_class’, $c) ) );
replace with:
// Separates classes with a single space, collates classes for BODY
$c = join( ‘ ‘, apply_filters(‘body_class’, $c) );
Benjamin
tried that and the site went down with nothing displayed at all.
And what about editing the header.php:
<body class=”">
replace with
<body class=”wordpress k2 blog columns-three lang-en “>
or
<body class=”wordpress k2 blog columns-two lang-en “>
hope that works!
damn … not allowed to post php-code.

Tyler,
Will you be finalizing this version? Also I would realy appreciate it if you can make unwakeble YAPB (http://johannes.jarolim.com/blog/wordpress/yet-another-photoblog/ready-to-use-templates/) ready!?!
I would like to use unwakeble as a blog and as a photoblog.
Thanks. Nice theme. Visit my blog THX
Why the tags isn’t in the frontend?
On another note, I want to display category parents in Unwakeable but the problem is that it is disabled in the PHP code, I went ahead and enabled it there but ran into an issue with the CSS, well mostly because I don’t know CSS and partly because it’s not clearly labeled…. at least to me it isn’t.
And to fix this one you need to edit the categories.php file found in ../K2/app/modules/categories.php in the line #11
to say
wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&show_count=1&hierarchical=1′);
I am done now. Thank you.
I’m having the same issue as Travo, asides can not be displayed in the sidebars…
I’m not really sure if asides in the sidebar still work with K2. I’ll look at this functionality and see if it’s broken or just no longer supported by K2.
Threaded comments are cool, and seem to work OK.
Yeah the k2 asides still work in Wordpress 2.7 but you don’t want to install the new sidebar manager since it just plain doesn’t work well.
I learned that I needed to go ahead and install the SMB-loader in the plugins directory.
Nevermind my last adding the k2 side bar fixed the issue with the supported plugin THANKS AGAIN!
I am having a small problem myself, I keep reading that there is an option to enable the “asides” in the sidebar but I can’t for the life of me get it to work. I am using Wordpress 2.6.5 if that makes a difference.
I having a werid problem, been having it for a while but have not had time to fix it because I’m deployed but,
