Welcome to Triqui MochiAds Arcade theme for WordPress official page
This is the one and only official page for this theme, so check it frequently!
Current version is 1.0 released on June 05, 2009
Before you start your journey into game publishing world, let me warn you: this is a theme for advanced users… I won’t explain how to install or edit a theme, and same thing for the plugins and widgets.
If you are looking for a “how to” guide, this theme is not for you. However, if you want to make a complete guide, let me know and I’ll feature you on the blog.
Now, everything you need to know:
MOTIVATION
Triqui MochiAds Arcade theme for WordPress turns your WordPress blog into an arcade site powered by MochiAds.
PLUGINS REQUIRED
In the download section you will find all necessary plugins to make the theme work properly, but if you want to download them manually or check plugins sites, here they are:
MOCHI (required): the plugin to feed games from MochiAds feed and create blog entries for each game. Visit the official page.
WP-PageNavi (highly recommended): Adds a more advanced paging navigation to your WordPress blog.
WP-PostRatings and WP-PostRatings Widget (highly recommended): respectively adds an AJAX rating system for your WordPress blog’s post/page and adds a PostRatings Widget to display most rated and/or highest rated posts and/or pages on your sidebar.
WP-PostViews and WP-PostViews Widget (highly recommended): respectively enables you to display how many times a post/page had been viewed and adds a PostViews Widget to display most viewed posts and/or pages on your sidebar.
Askimet (recommended): Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. Very useful if you run a successful blog. Check the license conditions.
WordPress Reset (recommended): Resets the WordPress database back to it’s defaults. Deletes all customizations and content. Something like “in case of fire, break the glass”.
Anyway, I recommend to get the plugins from the download section as I modified some styles to make them have the same look & feel of the theme
KEY FEATURES
* Good-looking homepage layout like Gallery theme
* CSS only rollover effect on game selection (will release a JQuery version too during next days)
* Extremely commented css and php files
* Interesting place where to place ads
* List of all games in the footer. This may seem pointless at the moment, but with the release of the final version of the plugin you will be able to select the games you want to publish. Let me say you most MochiAds are garbage, and an arcade portal full of garbage won’t work. You’ll have to create a niche portal, such as a physic games portal, a racing games portal or a handpicked games portal. Just think about MiniClip. They put the list of all games because they haven’t a wide number of games, but they are all playable.
NEXT UPDATES
Obviously I’ll keep updating the theme, adding more and more features, and I’ll explain how to add new features in case you already customized the theme. Expect those features in the next weeks:
* “New” icon next to recently added games
* Social icons to submit games to twitter, facebook and so on
* JQuery effect on rollovers
* Any interesting feature you may suggest me
DOWNLOAD
Here we are… time to download the theme and the plugins used. If you change the style, send me the link of your site and I will be glad to showcase it in the blog.
The theme is free to use, modify, hack and so on. However, if you are making money out of it, my PayPal address is triqui@libero.it, just in case…
Download the theme and enjoy.
I would like to hear your opinions.

I adored you to have made available Plugin Mochi and the theme for wordpress that transforms in arcade of games. Thank you of A lot.
I am only with a problem, in the plugin he/she has the function directly of putting the games in the servant and really the games are only going to the paste mochi to love that the theme still catches the url of the you love of the mochiads, instead of diffusing locally.
He/she wanted to know this will be solved in the next version of the plugin of the mochi.

Loving the look and feel of this theme.
Can’t wait for the plugin, I’ll certainly be trying it out! (I’ll probably blog about my experience with it, I’m sure you’ll see that in your links-to if I do :) )
Thanks for taking the time to develop this!
Anyone have any idea why after I installed the theme, it appear blank?
And at my theme list there shows broken theme.
“The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.”
Thanks in advance
Im shocked,how a good theme!?
Thanks in advance,you are really rock ,guy!
Can you use this theme for any games or does each “post” have to be from Mochi?
Tim: at the moment, it works only with Mochi games, but I am planning a version that will let you “post” any kind of game
I have the same problem as weizai. “following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must…etc”
Ok so it seems that installing the plugin via the upload feature in wordpress fails due to the directory structure of the zip. Upload the triqui directory into your themes directory and activate it. Should work.
how can upload game images???
how to add games and games images…
please help…
I’ve tried to install the plugin using the wordpress uploader and each time i try to upload the zip it comes up with this message Unable to create directory /home/a7929275/public_html/arcade/wp-content/uploads/2009/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
anyone know what i could be doing wrong?
@Stupid
this is your hosting accounts problem.raise a support ticket to your hosting company.this will fix problem.
how do I raise a support ticket, I’m using http://www.000webhost.com free hosting too.
Great theme but I am having trouble displaying google ads! If I put the ad code in wp’s text widget, it shows, but ads in header.php and index.php do not show! Any help please? maybe someone here who has done it successfully can show a pre-edited header/index.php with the adsense code!
Is there anyway if we can get a feature that allow users to upload games? Like say when they upload, we can approve or not approve and then be published in a category?
awesome theme
Great theme. I’ve been able to use your plugin and theme to create my arcade site. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your hard work on this wordpress theme and mochi plugin. It has been really easy to work with and customize. Being familiar with wordpress already made the install and modifications go smoothly. I am excited to continue working with the code and modifying it further to suit my custom needs. I am glad you have released it as I was waiting to start my first portal experiments until I had a chance to try it before using other arcade scripts. I will remember the donate button if I manage to make any cash from it too! ;)
Thank, this is what i’m looking for :)
Absolutely a wonderful theme.
I am very interested to know when it will allow other than mochi games.
I’ve made some modifications to use this plugin more than one user:
http://dobosbence.extra.hu/?p=70
Woops I put this in the wrong forum…
Two changes would be awesome.
1) Randomization of the images on the home page.
2) Integration with the Mochi Bridge/Leaderboard.
Be more than happy to pay a bit for these additions.
Heck be more than happy to donate…

in your admin area, click Reading under the Settings Section and change “Blog pages show at most” with what you want;)
for adsense, you can add them with using Appearence-Editor thing
First thank you for this great plugin package and the theme, and the site in general.

Pls help me by the way thanks
I was the one who paved the way for WordPress arcade themes. You took all your cues from me. Bow down and be humbled you greasy wop.
Normally I don’t bow but I do credit people who inspire me :)

Got this error when I tried to feed games.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: json_decode() in /home/blognako/public_html/arcade/wp-content/plugins/mochi/mochi.php on line 295
thanks, this plugin and theme are what I looking for.
again, thanks
Hi, If i embed the games in my site……….will the viewers be able to embed them in their own sites. And will i get money for impressions from games played.
Thanks for the theme.
It works all well until it comes to “Feed Games” – works fine.
When it comes to “Add Games to blog” – I get – “No new games to add”
When I click “Manage game files” – I get – “wp-content/plugins/mochi/mochi.php on line 125″
Any clue why it may be doing this?
much appreciate your help.
When I select Feed Games I get the following:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 56 bytes) in /home/himitsu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mochi/mochi.php on line 148
Any suggestions?
OK managed to sort the previous issue. Got 20 games yet when I go to Add games to blog
it says No new games to add.
When I clich Manage game files
I get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/himitsu/public_html/wp-content/plugins
/mochi/mochi.php on line 63
This is going to sound stupid, but how do I actually put games on my site?
I figured it out. You need to upload the .zip file, not the extracted folder
i’m really like your themes. it’s very useful for my arcade games site
Thank you very much for the plugin and the theme.
Where do I add my Mochiad id for revenue generation?
What version of WordPress I need to install Triqui Theme, Mochi Plugin and all other plugins?
Thanks.
Emanuele Feronato i’ve made a profile page (Author) so when a user posts a comment and you click on the link of their username it won’t goto their website it will goto the profile page. DEMO:http://www.playedonline.net/author/admin/
if you would like the author file email me at admin@playedonline.net and i’ll send it you
I am using version 2.8 and works perfectly fine.
Is there a way to AUTO PUBLISH and set then ON?
Every time you try and get the feed you have to do this manually.
Any clue?
Thanks
Does anybody know how to add a single game or a featured game in the sidebar or like a quick play?
Hello
Congratulations on your work.
You can open the game in another page?

Found some small things for next version, in page.php: is missing. Keep up the good work.
Hello! For some reason, my WordPress blog with this theme/mochiad plugin only displays 10 thumbnails max on the homepage. How do I get it to display more like all the others I’ve seen?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Emanuele,
I noticed my AdSense clickthru rate was very high on my triqui based website, http://www.lingolux.com.
Someone pointed me to the AdSense policy of click and miss.
http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/05/dont-run-risk-of-click-and-miss.html
“As you may know, our tips and guidelines mention that “users should only click on Google ads if they’re interested in the services being advertised.
- In close proximity to Macromedia Flash games
Generally, we ask that you not place your ads near features of your site that your users may interact with by clicking. If your site contains elements that increase the number of ad clicks without increasing business results for the advertiser, we may consider these clicks to be invalid. “Business results” can range from an online sale to a page view. If we detect enough of these clicks and determine that the risk to our advertisers is too great, we may disable the account.”
Scary stuff!!! although Armor Games have 2 adverts immediately above and below their games i don’t want to fall foul of Google as there isn’t many good alternatives to them!
So i have added a margin of 50px to my adsense advert on my games page to help prevent click and miss.
It may be worth considering this for future versions of your theme?
Cheers
Scott
Hello Matt on number 64 up there :)
Yours only show 10 thumbnails max is because your setting for blog pages show at most is 10 posts.
Go to Settings > Reading, and change the value of blog pages show at most, for example 60 posts, and don’t forget to update this settings by clicking save changes button ;)
Ciao Emanuele molto bello questo template, lo scarico subito! Anzi mi faccio pure un giro sul tuo blog che sembra essere molto promettente. In caso me salvo tra i preferiti :D
Ah… Dimenticavo, GRAZIE!
This is one great theme. Thanks. A really good looking theme.

Hi Emanuele,
you got some really admirable programming skills and have a great blog from which I already learned quite a few things from and still have many many things to learn. Please keep up your excellent work!
I spend the last two days in installing and customizing your MochiAds theme and plugin. The result can be seen here: http://best-flash-games.org
As soon as I make some money out of it, you will definatly get a donation from me!
In that time I stumbled upon some minor bugs, one in the theme, one in the plugin.
The bug in the theme resulted from an update of the wp-postratings plugin, which is used in your theme.
In its new version wp-postratings inserts its javascript code in the footer and not the header anymore. Hence you have to call wp_footer(); in the footer.php right before the closing body tag or the rating won’t work.
HTH
can i add games manually ? or must from moshiads ?
Great theme and plugin
check out http://www.freegamespuppy.com and http://www.playbubbleshooter.com

Greet theme, but i hope you will upgrade/update the theme in the future with a funtion that it will download the thumbnails too. Google is now using the speed of a website to use in it’s rankings, connecting/pulling it of mochiads makes it slow, i would like the thumbnails te be hosted, but can’t script.
I hope you will fix this in the future!
great theme. although could you fix the issue with the footer going all the way up behind the post and sidebars for the pages?
thanks
Hi,
Installed the plugin and it gives the following error..
“Add Games to blog
1. No new games to add”
But other one says that there are 2000 new games !..
HELP!..
Thanks.
Anyone else having problems with the #contentleft section not growing when you want to show more games on your page? It seems like the more games I add, the footer keeps growing and taking away space from the box that holds my game thumbnails. I can now only show 18 at a time while still be able to get the next page buttons. If I do anymore than that the buttons disappear even though it looks like there should be plenty of room. Any help would be much appreciated.
Never Mind- I’m an Idiot. feel free to delete this post along with my previous – And thank you so much for this theme and plug-in. Donation will be coming as soon as payday hits.
SOOO is there a FIX for:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …..wp-content/plugins
/mochi/mochi.php on line 63
can i add games manually ? or must from moshiads ??

Hey, anyone know how to make the thumbs larger on the main page? like instead of 100 x 100, make them 200 by 200? I changed a few things in the CSS but now the thumb stays the same but the actual pic its area is 200x 200
thanks!
nvm figured it out. Thanks a ton for the theme!
Excellent plugin. But there are a number of modules are not compatible with new versions of WordPress. We must put an older version of WordPress. The rest – makes for a functional and possible additions to the development of all paid flesh game sites. There are some concerns – with an increase in traffic may hph super cesh not do. The rest – many thanks for the development, and for the availability of such a powerful development.
I beg your pardon for the English. Translated with an interpreter.
I got this message from Google when i try to Visit your site, check and see what is going wrong I just wanted to inform you about this. Thanks….
