Beautiful Sunrise is now a WordPress 2.3 compatible theme, in particular the new WordPress 2.3 tag feature works with our Beautiful Sunrise theme (the original Beautiful Sunrise theme may or may not work with 2.3, not checked). Added WordPress 2.3 compatibility January 2008.
Beautiful Sunrise is also Widget compatible, works with the new widget feature added to WordPress 2.3 (no theme editing needed). Added widget compatibility January 2008.
Targeted AdSense Coding: New option from Google AdSense, we’ve incorporated this feature into all of our WP themes including Beautiful Sunrise. The targeted AdSense coding can not be used with popular AdSense addons for WordPress, unless you edit your theme manually. Added targeted AdSense coding January 2008.
The Beautiful Sunrise design is a WordPress theme my wife wanted for her Picture Blog (no longer uses this theme, uses the Talian theme). Surprisingly it was a pain to convert, some very interesting code usage 
WordPress Beautiful Sunrise theme with Google AdSense and SEO Optimisation
You can see the Google AdSense ad units in the screenshots below, a 250×250 ad unit that floats to the right at the top of the content of the first post ONLY, a sidebar ad unit 160×600 and a bottom (not quite footer) AdSense ad unit 336×280.
The first screenshot of the Beautiful Sunrise AdSense + SEO theme shows the home page format. You can clearly see the floating first post AdSense ad unit.
Note: with the version 03 Beautiful Sunrise WordPress AdSense + SEO theme the ad unit sizes are easily editable, so if 250×250 AdSense unit within the first posts content is too big in your opinion, it’s easily changed. We’ve included an extra file (found in the /alt/ folder of your Beautiful Sunrise theme directory) that will change all your ad units to less intrusive sizes, giving you two default sizes (large or small) that can either be used as is or edited further to match your blogging needs (full editing instructions are supplied with your WordPress theme purchase).
The second screenshot shows a single blog post page using the Beautiful Sunrise theme, this is where individual posts are shown (like the page you are reading now). You can see the floating ad unit again, the top of the vertical 160×600 ad unit on the right menu and the large 336×280 ad unit at the bottom. More content a post has (or comments) further down the page the last ad unit is found (so most pages won’t appear this cramped when using Beautiful Sunrise, great for taking a screenshot though ).
In my experience it’s the blog post pages that will create most Google AdSense revenue, especially the 250×250 square unit within the main blog post content (it’s a real hot AdSense CTR area and if you want max AdSense revenue keep it at 250×250).
Beautiful Sunrise with AdSense + SEO Installation Instructions
Beautiful Sunrise with AdSense + SEO is now FREE
1. Unzip the Beautiful Sunrise zip file.
2. Edit the file adsense.php within the /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/ folder to include your Google AdSense code (read the readme.txt file for more details, very easy to do).
Note: Adding your unique Google AdSense publisher code (your pub-##### number) is the ONLY required change needed to the entire Beautiful Sunrise AdSense + SEO theme to make the theme ready to turn your WordPress blog into a Google AdSense residual income stream.
3. Upload the entire /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/ folder to your WordPress themes directory (via FTP, just like any other WordPress theme you’ve tried).
4. Log into your blogs dashboard and under Presentation select the new “Beautiful Sunrise AdSense + SEO 03″ WordPress theme and you are done.
The Beautiful Sunrise AdSense + SEO theme out the box uses blended ad unit colours and large ad units for maximum CTR/AdSense revenue (like all WordPress AdSense themes on this site). If you wish to change unit colours and/or ad unit dimensions this can be achieved by editing just one file (adsense.php). If you don’t like the 250×250 sized ad unit for example, no problem a few minor changes and you could have a smaller 180×150 ad unit. Don’t like image ads, again no problem specify text only ads. Also checkout the /alt/ folder where you will find an alternative adsense.php file that uses smaller ad unit sizes (try it out, see what you think).
Search Engine Optimization and WordPress Themes
Most WordPress themes aren’t too bad SEO wise when downloaded directly from their original creators, but there are always improvements that can be made for maximum SEO impact and the Beautiful Sunrise theme was no different.
The Beautiful Sunrise AdSense + SEO theme (like all WordPress themes on this site) includes-
Optimized title elements (and meta tags, though meta tags aren’t very important these days). Take a look at the title of this page, (this site uses a AdSense + SEO WordPress themes) note it’s keyword rich and lacks the name of the site (for SEO reasons).
Optimised headers, (H1, H2, H3, H4) for example on blog post pages like this one the name of the blog is NOT within a H1 header, (interestingly this is the first WP theme I’ve used that did NOT have a H1 header that holds a link to home page). Instead the title of the post for Beautiful Sunrise theme users is within the H1 header and the link to home is only a H1 header on pages that lack a true keyword focus like the monthly archive pages.
Optimised anchor text of text links and rel=nofollow links to ALL unimportant pages (from an SEO perspective) like the login/register, trackback and RSS feed pages links (those links waste a LOT of PR/link benefit). Every blog post can have a trackback text link and an RSS feed text link, this means for a blog with 100 posts there are two hundred wasted links to these 200 pages that from an SEO perspective you DO NOT want spidering/indexing!! The Beautiful Sunrise theme adds rel=nofollow to these trackback and RSS feed links saving a LOT of SEO benefits and preventing some SERPs issues that can occur with these pages.
Support for the Free WordPress SEO Plugins on this site.
Basically optimised everything I could which makes the WP themes on this site the most optimised WordPress themes online.
Beautiful Sunrise with AdSense + SEO is now FREE
Compatible with WordPress 2.0, WordPress 2.1, WordPress 2.2, WordPress 2.3, WordPress 2.5, WordPress 2.6, WordPress 2.7, WordPress 2.8, WordPress 2.9, WordPress 3 and WordPress 3.0.1. Will be updated for WordPress 3.* etc…
If you purchased this theme, since it is now free receive a £9.99 discount off the Talian theme.

Beautiful Sunshine theme Cannot modify header information error
I “like” this Beautiful Sunshine theme.. I always get the following message when in Admin:
Warning: Cannot modify header information -- headers already sent by (output started at /USER//***//****/www/blog/wp-content/themes/beautiful-sunrise-10/functions.php:72) in /USER/*****/*****/www/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275
And not only me, after I googled, there are dozens of people who has the same message, when in WordPress admin. It’s very great: I spent hours for modyfing this template, and now I have to uninstall this!

WordPress Beautiful Sunrise SEO AdSense Theme Error Free
Hi Peter,
When I was editing the original Beautiful Sunrise theme (the one you have) I found the same error, so removed the code that caused it in my SEO/AdSense version.
So my SEO version doesn’t cause that problem.
Basically it’s trying to show a custom header when you load the admin interface, no idea why so saw no reason to leave it in.
Couldn’t tell you what to remove (didn’t take notes), but from memory wasn’t hard to do.

Beautiful Sunrise WordPress Theme Bug Fix
I’m too nice, could insist you buy my theme which is much better
Took a look at the original code and think I did this.
Load functions.php in a text editor.
Find this text HEADER_TEXTCOLOR
Two lines above it you’ll find <?php
Delete <?php and everything below it, save and upload, should work (not tested).
Rest of functions.php is for widget compatibility, so if you don’t use widgets you could try deleting the file from the server or uploading an empty file.

rss feed validated through feedburner problem
Hi, I loaded the original “Beautiful Sunrise” here: www.shtfblog.com. I like the theme, but I can’t get my rss feed validated through feedburner, it tells me that there’s an empty line before the page begins, which is causing the problem.
I switched to a different theme and had no problem getting the feed verified. Does your version correct this problem? Are there other benefits to your version? I’ll buy a copy so long as it’s going to solve this problem.
Also, assuming the rss feed is fixed in your version, I assume the theme will work just as I presently have it if I don’t have adsense ads. Correct?
Free WordPress 3 Theme Beautiful Sunrise with SEO and AdSense
I bought the 03 version and unzipped it. There are 2 adsense.php files. Do I need both?
Hal
There are two adsense.php files as one is an alternative formatted ads size (optional to use).
If you replace the adsense.php file in the main theme directory /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/adsense.php with the one under the /alt-files/adsense.php folder (remembering to add your info to that file) when uploaded to the main themes directory will result in much smaller ad sizes.
If your happy with the large ad sizes (recommended for max revenue) then add your adsense publisher code to the first adsense.php file and forget about the other one. Just there to make life a little easier for trying a different way to format the ads.

Hi David,
When you view 2 of my sites with IE 7 the post and comment areas appear at the very bottom of the page below the sidebar. Please take a look and tell me what you think is causing this;
(domain removed, no longer exists) and
(domain removed, no longer exists).
They appear okay in Firefox 2.0

David,
Please disregard my first post. I solved the problem. The email subscription box on the sidebar was set too wide.
Sorry for any inconvenience,

Hi David,
I updated to WordPress 2.3.3 and the Sunrise theme doesn’t work. Is there an update in the works? If so, how soon.
The reason I ask is I have exactly 13 days to roll-back my site to version 2.3.2. Go Daddy hosting installs the scripts and they have a time limit for changing back.
Best regards,
Hal Major
Beautiful Sunrise SEO WordPress theme comments
Whoops, I missed these comments, had WordPress set to only email me when a comment was held for moderation, not got through as is the case when a commenter comments for a second time (after one comment has been moderated).
Anyway, at the time I don’t recall their being any problems with this theme and WordPress 2.3. Looking through my update email in April 2008 I made an update and made this comment-
=======================================
Added edit post links to the Beautiful Sunrise theme to make editing posts easier, now you can edit a post direct from any page it’s shown on.
=======================================
Had there been something else wrong would have fixed it and mentioned what was wrong so customers know what is fixed in the latest update.

Are these themes for sale or free, i can see some paypal links up there ..
Well I am a dope when it comes to the wordpress theme issue. I have fiono and I hate it, nothing works for me. the free themes don’t have as much and I am able to muddle through and get everything working.
I was feeling pretty good about downloading this sunset theme -- I figured it was old and all the bugs were gone, but then I have heard about problems and I did not understand the question let alone the answer.
So update me please -- does this work when I activate it? I’ll leave the ad sizes alone. This is for dnextra.com if you go see it you’ll see why i need a new theme.
I was just going to upload this theme right over the current one and keep my fingers crossed. I would be more than happy to buy the theme to get some tech support. I deal in Dollars so not sure of the rate of exchange but I believe the dollar is pathetic against the euro and pound.
I have learned a lot reading through all this stuff. BTW I searched for wpthemes easy to use and you came up #10 for those keywords.

Beautiful Sunrise SEO/AdSense Theme works fine in WordPress 3
Beautiful Sunrise with SEO and AdSense works fine in WordPress 3.01. I don’t run it on any live sites, but have it available on my business PC for testing (when WordPress updates I give all the themes a quick test).
I was selling this theme a couple of months ago, so it’s a a good theme, but I’ve moved on with my main theme (Talian 05 http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/wordpress-theme-talian-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html which I sell) which is much, much better (I use it on all my WordPress sites) and I don’t have the time to upgrade a dozen themes to the same level as Talian 05. I might update a few later, but Beautiful Sunrise won’t be one of them, it was never a popular theme (wife liked it).
I plan to give more of the themes I’m currently selling for £9.99 for free over the next year or so. Recently included Naruto Strikes Back WordPress Theme http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/wordpress-theme-naruto-strikes-back-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html for free as well.
To get Beautiful Sunrise working with your AdSense account load the adsense.php file in a text editor and paste your publisher ID over mine (full instructions with the theme).
In comparison the Talian 05 theme has all the settings online: there’s a built in admin screen with dozens of options from your AdSense ID (the only required input from a user) to what colour version and which banners you want Talian to use.
BTW if you did install a theme that broke your site, all you do is either activate your original theme or if for some reason nothing was accessible (that’s rare) delete the problem themes folder (via FTP) in the themes directory which will force your WordPress installation to revert back to the default Twenty10 theme. Then you can activate another theme.

Free WordPress 3 Theme Beautiful Sunrise with SEO and AdSense
See Talian scares me, too many options. I am a dope. But let me ask this, (BTW) thanks for giving poor people the theme and info to publish sites and make some money from adsense, very kind and thoughtful of you) if your theme is optimized for SEO then does it have the area so I can do keyword, title and page description for each page or article?
and the dang ads -- are the ads easy to put in? like if I want revenue ads and ebay for some sites instead of adsense and clickbank? I like those bundles of 125 by 125 ads than run down the side or middle of some sites?
will google allow me to put in bunches of those little ads? the IM industry has a lot of those little ads that blink and shout.
thanks again,

Hi, I recently downloaded the beautiful sunrise theme, and have since had some trouble getting my images to display…
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks,
Nathan.
See the Post Teaser plugin on the SEO Plugins download page.

a minor problem
Hi David,
I’ve installed the WordPress 3 Theme Beautiful Sunrise with SEO and AdSense. It looks awesome and it works great except a minor problem:
Some Plugins do not work with this theme. I’ve installed the WordPress Related Posts, the WP Keyword Link and the Quick Adsense Plugins, non of them works with this theme.
Could you check how to fix it?
Thanks!
Some WordPress Plugins require template editing
I’m not a user of those WordPress plugins, have you checked what’s required in a WordPress theme for those WordPress plugins to work?
Many plugins require some template editing or specific theme features to work.
David
Nice theme, but not sure I installed it right
I did everything as per the instructions in this theme, but I am pretty sure that the ads on my site are still not linked to my Adsense account.
When I get my ad code from Adsense, it shows me a “ca-pub” instead of a “pub” code. I did some research to find out what those even mean and if it matters, but I am brand new to this and couldn’t wade through all the jargon. I tried both, putting the “ca-pub” one day and then deleting the “ca” and just putting in the “pub” for the next day.
Neither try resulted in Adsense picking up on my pageviews. It is a new site so I probably don’t have any ad clicks for Adsense to register yet, but I know I have pageviews because of a plugin I installed. I don’t think Adsense is picking up on my pageviews, so that makes me think that the ads on my site and my adsense account are not properly linked.
I have submitted a question to Google’s adsense forums but no one is responding… I am hoping you can help me with this because I really do not have the money to hire someone to do this for me.
Thanks very much.
PS, the theme is very nice, but for this possible issue.

Beautiful Sunrise SEO AdSense Theme AdSense Setup
You are right you’ve not setup the Beautiful Sunrise theme correctly.
You have to edit the adsense.php file and change my AdSense publisher ID number that looks like this:
$GoogleADID = "pub-8325072546567078";to yours. Doesn’t matter if you add the ca- part or not, both versions will work.
You can double check if you’ve done it correctly by viewing source of your home page (File >> View Source) if you see pub-8325072546567078 within the code (as you do on your site right now) you’ve done it wrong. When you see your pub-number you’ve done it right.
If you’ve installed using FTP edit the adsense.php file before uploading the theme files, it’s the file found at /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/adsense.php not the file within the /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/alt-files/adsense.php folder (that’s an alternative AdSense setup with smaller ad sizes).
If you installed via the built in WordPress theme installer and edited the file online via the WordPress theme editor make sure you edit the adsense.php file that starts with
Beautiful Sunrise Google AdSense Code
Not
Beautiful Sunrise Google AdSense Code Alt
If you see the latter you’ve edited the wrong file, look for the adsense.php that lacks Alt.

Thank You!
Wow, thank you so much for your help; I have been waiting for days for a reply to Google and I got nothing -- you solved my problem.
For some reason, it wasn’t recognizing that the alt adsense.php was not supposed to be the primary one. I just uninstalled the theme, copied the alt folder elsewhere so I could delete it from the theme folder, and reinstalled. It worked perfectly!
And thanks for telling me about the page source trick, I never would have known how to double check.
As soon as I make a little money with my new site you can be expecting me to upgrade to one of your paid templates instead of a free one, as a thank you.
