Not long ago, I released a page templates pack for the Hybrid theme that added 18 page templates to the theme. Since it has received nearly 2,000 downloads in just over a month, I figured it’d be fun to create a few new templates.
I hope some of these templates prove useful for your projects.
This brings the total number of page templates in the download to 30. Add that number to the current 15 page templates already in the Hybrid theme, and you get 45 templates.
The new page templates
These 12 new templates were added:
- Blog Backwards
- Custom Query List
- List Children
- List Future Posts
- List Most Commented Posts
- List Posts
- List Posts Alphabetically
- List Private Posts
- List Sticky Posts
- List Trash Posts
- Random Posts
- Random Posts Excerpts
The original page templates
In case you missed the earlier post or don’t want to go back and read it, here’s a list of the first 18 templates in the package:
- Archives By Category
- Archives By Post Tag
- Archives By Taxonomy
- Blog Information
- Category Cloud
- Custom Query
- Custom Query Excerpts
- Link Category Cloud
- List Authors
- List Pages
- Log In
- No Asides
- No Primary or Secondary
- Profile
- Quick Post
- Redirect
- Register
- Thumbnail Archive

I hope you all enjoy this release.
fantastic Justin.
What’s the chance or is there an easy way to add some of these especially the ‘List…’ to the Hybrid tabs plugin?
I definitely have plans for some of these in the Hybrid Tabs plugin. Some of them just became available with WordPress 2.9, so that’s why I’ve been holding off. Expect an update to Hybrid Tabs in the next week with an addition of a few of the list-style features.
Thanks Justin
have you plans to add a text widget to hybrid tab?

No, I probably won’t add anything like that. There are other plugins that allow that type of customization.
This is really fantastic, but what is the reason that you don’t include them in hybrid? I know you want to keep hybrid lean, but having 50 templates build-in is a massive marketing factor I would say.
As for marketing, I don’t really care about that. I won’t sacrifice the direction I want to take a theme in for a marketing angle.
But, the reason why I don’t add these templates to the theme is for a few reasons:
* Keep Hybrid as lean as possible.
* Don’t overwhelm users with too many more options than what’s already there.
* Some templates, if packaged with the theme, would require special CSS, which is something I wouldn’t want to style with every child theme.
* I want to promote the framework angle rather than the all-in-one angle (à la Options).
* It’s nice to have add-ons for the theme.
If I did want to have a marketing route, that last point would be it. By not packaging everything into one download, the theme has more add-ons that users can try out. Plus, it allows other developers to see that we can do things like this — package up add-ons for the theme.
Good thing about marketing is that you can twist it any way you want. I see your point.
By the way it would be cool to have a spin-off of list most commented posts, where There’s a time-frame Like the last 30 days.
Why would you need them included when you can download them anytime you need and take only those which really fits you…and you can read about them almost in all articles or in theme reviews so actually they are massive marketing factor
Thank You, Justin, for enhancing this pack , keep going
Justin , excuse me, i can’t speak english more. My comment use Indonesian.
Saya dari Indonisia dan mulai belajar membuat blog dan saat ini saya menggunakan tempplate buatan justin ( Hybrid dan Hybridnews ) dengan sedikit modifikasi. Saya berterima kasih kepada Justin untuk ini semua. Dan rencananya saya mau bergabung kedalam club agar pengetahuan saya semakin bertambah.
Mudah-mudahan dalam waktu dekat ini saya bisa bergabung dan saya juga berharap tidak menyulitkan Justin karena saya tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris dengan baik.
Sekali lagi saya hanya bisa bilang “Thank you very much”.
Hi Justin,
I have only recently started using your Hybrid Framework and I have to say it is fantastic, the configuration is almost endless. I have purchased other ‘configurable’ themes in the past but your framework absolutely beat them in every way.
I see many cookie cutter themes these days but I for one enjoy the satisfaction of creating one’s own unique themes; you have made the creative process so much simplier and the development cycle way way quicker.
A million thanks to you!

Billions thanks from Vietnam!
Very nice collection Justin… Thanks a ton.

Is that (open) top sliding panel available to use as a footer as well?? Im looking for at footer that i can toggle…
This is great. However, I’m intending to use the “list children” page but I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function hybrid_after_singular() in /home/frankpereiro/planeta-beisbol.com/wp-content/themes/hybrid-news/page-list-children.php on line 43
I’ve searched the forums but I couldn’t find the answer.
These templates are meant to be used with the Hybrid theme.
I’m using the Hybrid theme.
This is the URL where I’m testing the page template. http://francisco.pereiro.info/pruebas
Stop by the support forums if you need help with the theme or the template pack.
I updated hybrid to the lates 0.7 version but now I have this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_theme_support() in /home/frankpereiro/francisco.pereiro.info/wp-content/themes/hybrid/library/extensions/get-the-image.php on line 22
Anyway, when I come back I’ll try to fix it.
Hi Justin,
Just tried using the list-children page template. Got the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function hybrid_after_singular() in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wpmu\wp-content\themes\leviathan\page-list-children.php on line 43
Should the function be hybrid_after_single() ? Thought you should take a look at it.
OK. Just updated to Hybrid 0.7.1. Seems to have solved the problem. I guess I deserve the avatar you gave me.
On this “list children” page, is there any way to sort the children alphabetically or by page order? They seem to sort to the order I added the page. I tried changing the page orders, but it didn’t work.
Justin,
Why do you refer to the theme as the child theme, excuse my ignorance, but I’m knew to all this.
Thanks
George
List Children
Just something that came up due to a need I had: It might be handy to give the <li> a class with the post ID (or some other unique class/id) for styling purposes.
