2. hso | August 8, 2006 #

Thanks!

I am not quite sure I understand what you mean by want fixed version, this is a fixed version with optional fluid. Let me know what you would like and I will see if I can accommodate.

3. Chris | August 11, 2006 #

Hello there,

I am using your theme for my blog and just wanted to say thanks. It is a perfect theme for our applications.

Best thoughts,

Chris

4. hso | August 11, 2006 #

Ah, and yours is the perfect comment. Thanks!

And your site looks fabulous!!

5. Mark | August 19, 2006 #

HSO,

I downloaded your Klein template and I’m liking it a lot. In fact, I don’t even have any complaints so far. I do, however, have a question about modifying the design.

Is there a simple way to change the width of the (left-hand) text column? I’d like to make it narrower, so text runs up and down the page a bit more, as opposed to across. (If such a change will require a lot of tweaking just tell me – I’m really looking for a value or two to tweak.)

Regarding support and your forms here, I found it difficult to find you. This page –

http://www.headsetoptions.org/play/blog/

– says this:

“Note: Support via comment form has moved to http://www.headsetoptions.org.”

But when you go to that page you get this:

“A new page with all theme release and theme related posts, development and support forum have moved to a Live Design page.”

But when you go to the Live Design page and scroll down (for the Klein template) you read this –

“The theme will be supported at http://www.headsetoptions.org/play/”

– before you even see the form that I’m typing in now, which led me to click through to the /play site — which started me back on the same circular set of links.

Also, the link on this page –

http://www.headsetoptions.org/play/blog/

– to the Modified Klein page archives.php file is wrong

Thanks,

Mark

6. hso | August 19, 2006 #

Thanks for pointing out the err in the links and the confusion I have caused, I will correct the posts to reflect the correct info.

As for the width of the content area, it can be easily changed. Simply open style.css either from WP Admin or using a text editor, and change these two values in bold.

#primary { width: 450px !important; _width: 450px !important;
and correspondingly reduce the overall page width in the code below
#page { background: white; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 0 10px; position: relative; /* The entire template's width is set in this class. */ width: 970px !important; _width: 970px !important;

7. Mark | August 20, 2006 #

HSO,

Thanks for the quick reply. I made the changes as you suggested and everything went fine.

I am confused by something else, however. In trying to also narrow the middle and right columns a bit I couldn’t keep them from dropping below the primary. When I looked through the file and color-coded each section (primary, left and right) it seems that the code labeled ‘right sidebar’ is for the middle column, while the code labeled ‘left sidebar’ is for the column on the right.

Is that intentional? Am I reading something wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

P.S. I saw that you made changes to the support links, but I think you may want to do a little more tweaking. I was actually not able to find the support/comments box for the Klein template anywhere, and only linked to it via a link to my previous comment.

8. hso | August 20, 2006 #

@ Mark

That was intentional (right is middle and left is right!), I did mention it somewhere on the support site, but like you know, it is hidden somewhere on my site(s) (which, I am trying to club!)

I will tweak the links, I am on a commercial project and have no time for my own

9. Sooz | August 20, 2006 #

Thanks for a great theme. I’ve started to use it on my personal website. One thing I can’t seem to figure out is how to modify the width for the 2nd and 3rd colums (sidebars). I’d like column #2 to be 150px wide and #3 to be 170px. I thought it’d be a matter of modify the instances of 970px and then the lsidebar and rsidebar widths …. but that doesn’t seem to be working for me. If you have any tips, that would be awesome. Thanks!!

10. hso | August 20, 2006 #

@Sooz

Modify #Page, .secondary, .rsidebar and .lsidebar

11. Sooz | August 20, 2006 #

Thanks for the tip! (And speedy at that.) Unfortunately, I am not sure what to change on .secondary. If the width on #page is 900px … do you know what I need to change on .secondary? Apparently staring at it for a while isn’t helping me.

12. Sooz | August 20, 2006 #

Aha! it looks like I figured it out afterall.

13. hso | August 20, 2006 #

@Sooz

Out for dinner, yeah, you will need to change

width: 470px !important;
and
_width: 470px !important;

in .secondary

14. Cormac | August 27, 2006 #

Excellent theme! Few things i hope you can help me with…

the tab naviagtion that features “blog” , “about” and “admin” … what file do i need to modify to add more tabs?

how do i alter the space above the head.jpg so that it’s smaller?

on each page you have a horizontal rule which is #999999 … where can i change this value. I can’t find it all in any of the files

Thanks

15. alter ego | August 27, 2006 #

@ Cormac,

To add tabs, simply create new pages. If you want to manually add tabs, open header.php and make the changes.

To change the space above the header, open style.css and change the padding for header.

16. hso | August 27, 2006 #

@ Cormac

Open style.css change the padding under #page

#page { background: white; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 0 10px; position: relative; /* The entire template's width is set in this class. */ width: 970px !important; _width: 970px !important; border: none !important; border-top: none; }

it is currently set at 20px, change it to whatever you want.

BTW, what is the #999999 thing you mentioned? I don’t remember setting any such horizontal rule!

17. Cormac | August 30, 2006 #

hi guys, thanks for the helpfull and speedy responses

@ hso, i’m talking about the grey type hr here > http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/2788/imagedv7.jpg
in the lower area…i’m just wondering how i can change the colour there

thanks, cormac

18. hso | August 30, 2006 #

That is the footer code, there is a 10px line code in the footer section.
Delete
border-top: 10px solid #999;

from style.css if you want to remove it!

19. François | September 3, 2006 #

Hi,

Very nice theme. And nice Ajax touch.

I have to say the header image is just beautiful. Too bad the jpeg is pixelated.

My question now:

I have a small but annoying problem with the javascript. In IE6 only, the code spits out two errors, on of which to my surprise is in the prototype.js.php file. I do not want to print my stack trace in your blog, but I’ll be happy to send to you. You could also check the blog at the address provided above.

I suppose the errors are caused by the DHTML slider on top of the posts, which appears briefly and just vanishes in IE. Firefox shows the slider without any problem.

Thanks for your help.

20. François | September 3, 2006 #

The blog is at: http://blog.nosleepsoft.com/

Thanks again.

21. hso | September 3, 2006 #

@ François

Did you try disabling Rolling Archive from your K2 options page? I would try that, I am surprised you notice it in IE6, I usually hack all my themes for IE users.

22. Cormac | September 4, 2006 #

i know you’re probably sick of this question but my css knowledge is that bad

the two sidebars…what is the exact code to make the right sided one larger than the left one? Whenever i have gone near the css i have severly messed it up

23. hso | September 4, 2006 #

Look for .rsidebar and .lsidebar in the style.css file, they are both set to 200px, change as needed, but the total should not exceed 400px!

24. François | September 5, 2006 #

@hso

Thanks for answer!

The only way I could make the whole thing work was to disable:

LiveSearch
Rolling Archive
Ajax Commenting

The blog functions in a normal manner now, but without any Ajax or DHTML functionality. It’s a shame, I liked them so much. You see, I am programming a Project Management application at the very edge of Ajax dev, and the blog had that nice touch to complement the software.

I might try to put a little GWT into your nice theme, when I get the time.

Thanks again.

25. Cormac | September 12, 2006 #

hi guys, i’m trying to change the menu so that it’s the same one as here > http://www.whatismyip.ie/beta/beta2.html

The css below is the one i used for that site, but when i add it to the theme style sheet it doesn’t work at all.
h4 {
font-weight:700;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #000000;
margin: 0 0 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 0px;
text-align: left;
display: block;
}

#showentry {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display:block;
}

#showentry a {

text-decoration:none;
}
#showentry:hover, #showentry a:hover {
color: #ffffff;
display:block;
background-color:#FF7324;
}

I have stripped down the sidebar and i’m currently just using this for the menu

but this is the outcome i get
http://img54.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menulo4.png

26. hso | September 12, 2006 #

@ Cormac

The link to the .png is broken, I think. Send me the picture/link to your test site via email (headsetop@yahoo.com)

Do you plan on having the page tags on the left/right in the sidebar? Is that what you want?

27. Rudy | October 4, 2006 #

Hi, great theme, I’ve got a question: I’d like the full sidebar to show up on all pages, not just the home page. Can you tell me how I make that change?

28. hso | October 4, 2006 #

@ Rudy

You will have to hard code the sidebar.php file to show the same sidebar content in all pages.

Or

You can try using the modified 3K2 Klein sidebar.php file from here:

http://www.headsetoptions.org/play/support/

29. Stefan | October 12, 2006 #

hello hso,

i have a question regarding pages and menus. as i have found out, i can assign a parent-page to any page. my initial thinking was, that this would automatically affect the menu bar, as a submenu would be opened once i click or hover over the mainpage menuentry. however, it does not seem to be that easy

so, please tell me, if this feature would require some customization i have not yet found in the admin menu, or whether this would require scripting and development. if it is the later, please mail me a pricetag to the given email-address.

thanks a lot

30. hso | October 12, 2006 #

@ Stefan

There is no easy way to make a drop down menu in WP, although some might disagree, that is why you don’t see them in use.

I have in the past used JavaScript to create DD menus, like in this site I worked on a while ago:

http://clevelandparkblog.com/

is that what you are looking for?

If so, email me.

31. Stefan | October 12, 2006 #

hello hso,

that is exactly what i am looking for, however i failed the intelligence test as i can’t find your email address

so, please, write me first so that i can reply, lol.

thanks, stefan

32. hso | October 12, 2006 #

@ Stefan

Check your email!

33. dan | October 28, 2006 #

Hi.. great looking theme.. Just implemented this one instead of orange2

I am having a slight problem though.. for some reason.. in IE only, it loads the sidebars at the bottom, below the main posts

can you give me a hand?

thanks

34. hso | October 28, 2006 #

@ Dan

Your NeoCounter image seem to be pusing the padding off for IE. The current padding set is (under .lsidebar { ):

padding: 0 39px 0 10px !important;

You can change it to:

padding: 0 10px 0 10px !important;

Let me know if it worked.

35. Tony | October 30, 2006 #

I just downloaded the theme and I love the design. However, since i am a newbie and suck at these things , I cant for the life of me figure out how to change the image on the header and I cant figure out how to change the flcker link or image to change it so that it goes to my flickr site.

Thanks for your help

36. hso | October 31, 2006 #

@ Tony

Open the theme files using FTP (or whatever), and find this: /images/head.jpg

replace this image with your own logo of the same size.

For Flickr, open sidebar.php from WP Admin (WP Admin > Presentation > Theme Editor) and look for the Flickr JavaScript, find this piece fo code:

tag=art

replace it with tag=whatever, whatever being your own unique tag.

37. Tim Post | November 3, 2006 #

2 Quick Questions:

1. I’m trying to copy the javascript into my body tags for Google Anlytics. I’ve looked the header file but can’t find them. Where should I be looking?

2. My righthand-most sidebar also gets puched down in IE. Should I also change something (I saw comment above).

Thank you so much for your help and for designing a great theme. I really love it.

39. hso | November 4, 2006 #

@ Tim Post
1) Paste it after “body class=”k2…” and before div id=”page”

2) It’ because of an image in the post “Less is Definitely More”, reduce the size of the image and you should be fine.

40. John Jones | November 7, 2006 #

Okay, I admit, I am in love with the klein mod at http://www.theillustrativedesigner.com. Please, can someone give me general advice on how to imitate it?

I am more than satisfied with klein, but I would like to learn how to (a) place a new static image at the top of the primary (left) column and (b) relocate the navigation buttons from the header to right below the new static image.

Anyone?

41. hso | November 7, 2006 #

@ John

I will release that K2 mod soon, look out for it on this site.

The way I did it was by removing the image from the header and used a background image for the body. The body content primary and sidebar moves up when you remove the header tag from header.php, you increase the primary padding to over 200px, then adjusted the nav to match the change. Hope I am making sense. Let me know how it goes.

42. John Jones | November 8, 2006 #

After playing with the theme editor, I have decided that you are technically brighter than I, and artistically brighter than I! I can handle it!

Look, the Illustrative Designer site is absolutely beautiful. I anxiously await when you generously make this mod public and share with us your skill.

I will continue enjoying ‘klein.’ Thanks.

43. Dave | November 17, 2006 #

Hey. I love 3K2 Redux Klein. I just set it up for a friends site hes starting.

I seem to be having a major problem on firefox on both a mac and pc.

It’s as if any css below the header is just not showing up. Have you seen this problem before?

the url is http://www.musicitrust.com

thanks man!

44. Dave | November 17, 2006 #

ok. sorry, I figured it out. I had a test post with a youtube object that was getting screwy. Sorry!

45. mr nice ash | November 18, 2006 #

First off, I like the theme very much! Great!

But, there’s something wrong with it, i think. The first time I used the theme, extra breaks do not show up between paragraphs. I haven’t proved this is a bug from the theme though but It would be great if someone would help me figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

46. hso | November 18, 2006 #

@ Mr Nice Ash

While creating/editing a post in WP, there is an option to view the posts HTML, view the source code and tell me if there is a extra break between your post.

47. Jeffrey Kurtz | November 20, 2006 #

when I upload the theme to my file server, Norton Anti-Virus tells me it’s blocked two trojan horses in my FTP program from trying to access my computer. It doesn’t happen with other themes.

48. hso | November 20, 2006 #

@ Jeffery Kurtz

Where did you download the theme from?

Over 6000 people have downloaded and used it, and you are the first with this complaint, I hope you are not suggesting that it is there deliberately.

49. syksy | November 25, 2006 #

Hi! Thanks for the nice theme! Just want to ask, if it is possible to show the categories in the sidebar? Thanks!

50. hso | November 25, 2006 #

@ Syksy

Yes, ust add this code to your sidebar.php file where you want the category to show. Place the coe between a < and > sign.

?php list_cats() ?

51. Brook | December 4, 2006 #

I use the 3K2 Redux Klein theme and with the archive page I can only see 15 posts, which is what I have my Post setting as under WordPress options. I want my archive setting different. I’d like to show all my posts in the archive or at least have a link at the bottom of the archive page to go to the next 15 archived posts.

Other than this I think your theme is the best one out there. Excellent work!

52. hso | December 4, 2006 #

@ Brook

The “previous” and “next” button should show at the bottom! Send me your site URL and I will check.

53. wpeaceman | December 6, 2006 #

Is it possible to extend search/livesearch to also include pages not just blogs and comments?

54. hso | December 7, 2006 #

@ Wpeaceman

Try this plugin:
http://www.contutto.com/software/wordpress-advanced-search

55. syksy | December 7, 2006 #

Hi!

Thank you for your last reply about adding the category! I also noticed that in the bottom of Sidebar file there are some similar codes, so I used the below code directly in the place where I wanted the category to show.

I have a new question on this: when I browse through categories or archives, the longer entries are supposed to be truncated, however all the entrie texts are completely shown which looks quite messy also without pictures…

I wonder if it is possible to modify the code to only show the link(title) of each entry without any contents, for readers to browse through quickly the tiles under the same category or archive…

Here is my website example using your beautiful theme…sorry that the content might not be understandable since it is in mandarin
http://life.newscandinaviandesign.com/?cat=5

Thanks you so much!

56. syksy | December 8, 2006 #

Hi me syksy again!
Sorry just want to tell that, I think I’ve already figured out by modifying the archive.php file…:)

57. Moylan | December 14, 2006 #

Hi guys, I’m trying to install the ‘Digg This’ plugin which is available here > http://www.aviransplace.com/index.php/digg-this-wordpress-plugin/

It stipulates that the function code which is digg_this_button(); (without the php bracket)needs to be placed anywhere in the template (in “the loop�?) you want to show the link back to digg.

I presume the loop for this template is the file named theloop.php but i have added the fuction and installed the plugin and it doesn’t work.

I have added the fuction just after the /* Start The Loop */ comment

I’m just wondering if what i’m doing is correct?

Thanks

58. hso | December 14, 2006 #

@ Moylan

No, you need to place it in the loop, not above it, so look for “metadata” or “chronodata” and place it beside it to show the “digg” text or button below the post/page heading. You should do this at all instances of the metadata or chronodata to have it show in every post and/or page.

59. Carl | December 26, 2006 #

Love the themes, so thanks for your brilliant work.

I’ve got the same problem as Brook reported: my archive/category pages only display 5 posts (the number set in WP’s options for “per page” display) but offer no previous/next or older/newer navigation options.

60. billg | December 27, 2006 #

Hi,

I’ve been looking at Ism and the 3K3-Redux series on a local WP 2.05 install. On wp-admin’s theme presentation and selection page, the CSS from these themes spills out into each of their areas on that page. If I select one of them as the default theme, the entire CSS file (or files, in the K2 themes) spills out onto the page, pushing all other content below it.

I haven’t noticed this affecting the behavior of these themes, but it is disconcerting. Have you seen this?

61. hso | December 28, 2006 #

@ Billg

That is strange, I have never heard of a theme affecting WP, it is usually the other way around. Can you let me access the site, I may be able to check it out for you!

62. billg | December 28, 2006 #

Sorry, it’s a local installation. I haven’t yet moved it to a server you could access.

I have a distant memory that I’ve seen this issue raised elsewhere. I’ll look around and let you know if I find anything.

63. A.Oudelet | January 13, 2007 #

Hi, everybody !

Thanks for this great theme! But as a french user on Mac OS X, I am willing to get this theme to “speak” french in my wordpress page. How can I make this happening ?

I thnik I should edit the k2.pot file, but I wonder to know how to make it. What charset should I use? UTF-8? and How to complie the .mo file on a Mac OS X system? Because the poedit program (1.3.6) seems to crash every time I use it?

Thanks by advance to help me.

64. hso | January 13, 2007 #

@ A.Oudelet

Not sure what the issue is, I see you are using a K2 based theme in French and it is working fine, why would this theme be any different, the base files are all K2, I only changed the stylesheet! Let me know what the issue is, write in French if needed!

65. A.Oudelet | January 14, 2007 #

Hi,

My current site runs K2 theme from getk2.com and yes it is french.

But I would like to change this theme to your 3k2redux-klein theme, but it’s in english. So I would like to translate elements of the UI into french. Elements like “Comments” into “Commentaires”,…

For that, I need to translate the theme with k2.pot file in a program like poedit.org but it doesn’t run wery well on my Mac OS X system. All that I can do is to complete the .po file manually in a text editor, but I can’t compile it into a .mo file to get my translation effective.

So my issue is looking for a .mo compiler.

Should my post help for the issue ?

66. enzo | January 15, 2007 #

hi, great theme, just a couple of question how to add a little flash movie instead of the jpg? (head.jpg) and if u can write 2 lines about translation in some txt file in the distro package u get the theme translated in no time (from me in italian)

67. Lloyd | January 18, 2007 #

Hi!

I like the theme you made and I’m planning on using your theme. Actually, I finished customizing the side bar now. I just need to customize the CSS and on how it each post are displayed. I’m actually having problems looking where to change on how an entry will appear on my blog.

I’m mixing the things I like on my current theme and Qwilm! 0.3 theme.

Basically, heres what I need to do:

1. Move the comment link. It should appear after the post (just like the one in the Qwilm! theme).

2. Instead of displaying “Published by” , I need to change it to an icon like the one on my current theme.

3. Place a seperator / line image between each post just like the Qwilm theme.

I hope you can help me with this.

Just for referrence…

My blog is located at: http://www.lloydlopez.com

Customized (for test purposes) 3k2 Redux-Klein theme can be found here: http://project.lloydlopez.com

The Qwilm theme can be found here:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/61/qwilm-03/

68. hso | January 18, 2007 #

@ Lloyd

It is possible to customize the theme, but you are required to play with mosr than just the CSS, for example to move the comments to the bottom and to make the published by to a icon, you need to make changes in the theloop.php file. To add a divider line, you do that from the CSS.

You need to look for “small class=”metadata”�? code in the “theloop.php�? file and move all the class content to below the call of content/excerpt (which is usually the line that looks like ?php the_content(__(‘Co…). if you get to do this without messing your theme, let me know and I will walk you thorough the rest of the changes.

69. Lloyd | January 20, 2007 #

Hello,

Actually I was looking at loop.php yesterday but have no idea on which line is responsible with the blog data display.

Your help was really helpful. I was able to move the “comment” link after each post.

I just need now to change the “Published by” and make the seperator.

70. Lloyd | January 20, 2007 #

Oops! Some typo. I meant your tip was really helpful.

Thanks you so much.

71. hso | January 20, 2007 #

@ Lloyd

To change the “Publish..” to a icon: You wil need FTP access to do this, and I do nto mean WebFTP.

1) Open theloop.php and look for the word “Published” and delete it.

2) Open the images folder (via FTP) and replace the time.gif with your icon and call it time.gif, this is the simple way, or try 3.

3) Add an icon to the images folder, then open style.css and look for:

background: url(‘images/time.gif’) left center no-repeat;

In the code, replace time.gif to the name of your icon.

Do this and we will get to adding a line separator.

72. pablopabla | January 25, 2007 #

Thanks for the beautiful theme which I’ve adopted for my website here.

Will the theme still work okay with wordpress 2.1 upgrade?

73. hso | January 25, 2007 #

@ Pablopabla

Yes, it should work.

74. pablopabla | January 25, 2007 #

Thanks! I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 and it is working as usual

75. Roosevelt Franklin | January 30, 2007 #

Hi,
I’ve been using your theme for a while and then suddenly, for no apparent reason, the sidebar started to be displayed below the blog content rather than on the right side. you can see it on my website http://franklinchronicles.com/

help!

76. hso | January 31, 2007 #

@ Roosevelt

Since it is happening only on the home page and not your about page, my guess is it is one of your recent posts with some formatting issue (either the use of HTML or something else). Check the recent posts and remove any unwanted format or hotlinking!

77. Carl | January 31, 2007 #

When Rolling Archives is enabled (default), the rolling scroll bar does not appear at all on Category Archive pages. This means that even if there are more entries available, they can’t be navigated to. When Rolling Archives is disabled, a link to Previous Entries appears at the bottom of the Category page as necessary. Rolling Archives is clearly a far better way of navigating through a blog, so what can i do to enable it on each Category page? Thanks.

78. hso | February 1, 2007 #

@ Sarah

It does appear like a padding issue, did you alter the sidebar styling?

79. hso | February 1, 2007 #

@ Carl

I guess the guys who designed K2 thought it makes no sense to add a rolling archive to the archives page!

If you want to change it, you will need to edit theloop.php file to add rolling archive in the 1st loop, which dictates what is displayed when you are on the archives page. Maybe I will do it in the next release of K2Redux, which is in the pipeline!

80. hso | February 1, 2007 #

@ Sarah

Have you tried deactivating the sidebar modules? If the problem exists, then it is not the sidebar modules. Let me know.

81. Toni | February 3, 2007 #

Hello hso,

I’ve decided to use your 3k klein theme for my movie website. I’ve been doing lots of customizing as you can see in this testing area. However, I still need help with the following:

1.) Is it possible to put ads between posts? There doesn’t seem to be a way.

2.) Like Lloyd, I’d like a line to separate the posts.

3.) I’ve managed to add color to most of the links, except in the Comments section (see example) and the Pages section. I’m having trouble finding in the CSS where to make the edits.

4.) I tried to incorporate the contact form from the in the Contact, Call for Writers, and Scoops Pages, but as you can see the contact form itself is unformatted. I basically copied the formatting from the regular Page template on top of the Contact template, but something got messed up. Please advice.Thanks very much in advance!

82. Toni | February 3, 2007 #

Oops, sorry I think I left a tag open in my 4th question. Feel free to fix my comment if you like!

83. Toni | February 3, 2007 #

Oh, and #4 is supposed to say, “I tried to incorporate the contact form from the Blix theme”. I put in the link to the Blix theme, but I forgot to close the tag.

84. headsetop | February 3, 2007 #

@ Toni (and Lloyd?)

To add a line below each post, there is two files to edit, first the style sheet-

Open style.css and add this line code at the very bottom of the sheet and save it

.endmetadata {border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;}

Then open theloop.php and add this piece of code:

div class=”endmetadata” and /div

both within < and > just above the line that contains the terms:

Normal Entries…

85. headsetop | February 3, 2007 #

@ Toni

To change color of font, open the style.css file and look for each instance of the term “comment” or “comments” and check the currosponding color: attribute, change if it is not the color of your choice.

As for the contact form, use a plugin like http://phrixus.co.uk/pxsmail instead to insert contact forms, it is relatively easy to use and style. If you want to the use the same style as in Blix Redux, then you need to also make sure the contact form code is the same as the comments form in Blix, which is a pain if you are using a plugin, so I say use a plugin and style it from the style.css sheet.

86. Toni | February 7, 2007 #

Hello hso,

I’ve been noticing a strange error message. It only occurs the first time I would visit the front page of my website. It disappears when I refresh the page. It appears at the very top and says, “Warning: ob_start() [ref.outcontrol]: output handler ‘ob_gzhandler’ cannot be used after ‘URL-Rewriter’ in /home/nofacefo/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 336″

I don’t know what this means. I never touched the functions.php file, and I don’t know what ob_gzhandler or URL-Rewriter are. It’s possible that they may have something to do with one of the plugins I’m using, but I thought to ask you first.

87. hso | February 7, 2007 #

@ Toni

What plugins are you using and what is your WP version number? It will help if you deactivate all the plugins and then chekc if the problem goes away, then activate one plugin at a time and check, that way you can nail the one that might be causing this issue.

88. Carl | February 8, 2007 #

Hi again

HSO: “If you want to change it, you will need to edit theloop.php file to add rolling archive in the 1st loop, which dictates what is displayed when you are on the archives page. Maybe I will do it in the next release of K2Redux, which is in the pipeline!”

I think I’ll have to wait until the next release of K2Redux, unless you can give me instructions. The loop.php file is beyond my comprehension of code so how to modify it isn’t at all clear to me. Thanks for the help though.

89. Toni | February 8, 2007 #

Hello hso,

I’ve found the problem is with the psx mail plugin you suggested to me, which is a damn shame since it was the perfect solution to my problem with needing contact pages. It was even invalidated my feed. Looks like I’ll have to find another mail/contact form plugin. Do you know of any other similar ones that allow you to put contact forms on as many pages as you want?

90. hso | February 8, 2007 #

@ Toni

I am using http://ryanduff.net/projects/wp-contactform/

Version: 1.4.3, works for me.

91. Kaonashi | February 12, 2007 #

Hello hso,

Thank you for the advice on the contact form. I still need some of your help though.

- I followed your directions on putting a dividing line between posts, but it didn’t work.

- I noticed that there isn’t a “Previous Posts/Next Posts” link available. I’ve disabled Rolling Archives because it takes too long to load. I had heard that changes to The Loop in WordPress 2.1 caused “Previous Posts/Next Posts” to stop working?

-I noticed that in the Archives section, if I pull up a specific month, it doesn’t show all the posts for that month. I think it’s related to the “Previous Posts/Next Posts” situation, but in many other themes the rest of the posts in Archives can be found by clicking “Previous/Next”.

Thank you very much in advance! Sorry to keep bothering you.

92. Toni/Kaonashi | February 12, 2007 #

Oh just to let you know, “Kaonashi” is me, Toni

93. headsetop | February 13, 2007 #

@ Toni

The previous/next tag works in WP2.1, check the info in Codex for more.

As for the post, do check the number of posts setting at WP Admin > Options > Reading, if that is set to 10, then the max posts display per page will be 10. However, without the previous/next link, you can’t get to those pages

96. chuck | February 16, 2007 #

Is there a way to change the font size or color on the ‘published by’ chronodata? Thanks – new to this.

97. hso | February 16, 2007 #

@ Chuck

If you are familiar with CSS, you can create a div class for meta and add it right above the meta ad close it below the chronodata (2 lines I believe), then style it as you please in the style.css sheet! Does this help?

98. Toni | February 18, 2007 #

HSO- I have the number of posts showing on the main page as 10. I noticed that the same amount appears per month on the archives. I can’t find the “previous page/next page” link, which is why I can’t get to the rest of the pages.

I’ve tried looking through the Navigation and Archive files to find the link I need. I’ve tried different methods but none worked. I can not read PHP so I don’t know what code or link to use and where to put it.

99. jay | February 19, 2007 #

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out how to add more pages. The default thmb -tags (not sure if that is what they are called) are ‘Blog’ and ‘About’. Can I add more? I thought maybe i could add it in the ‘Write’ ‘write page’ area of the editor but when i published it…nada. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I checked out the other forums and couldn’t find the answer.

100. hso | February 19, 2007 #

@ Jay

The page tabs will only show the top level pages, that is, it will not show child pages, so check to make sure you are not creating a page under an already exisiting page. If that is not an issue, then send us the exact error you encounter (do you get an error message?)

Let us know!

101. jay | February 19, 2007 #

I see, so if I want to add any tabs, the Page Parent must be set to ‘Main Page (no Parent)’. I guess I was thinking that was my main blog page and I didn’t want to over-write it. Got it, that worked. Thanks so much for the help!
One more question please…
Now that I have my new tab…is there any way to do any of the following:
A: Have that tab point to my forum which is another website (http://glutenfreepost.com/forum/index.php) and be presented and run undern my current Wordpress banner or…
B: simply have that tab point to the forum and not worry about the blog top banner being presented.

I hope I explained this ok. The basics are that I want my parent blog (http://www.glutenfreepost.com) to have two extra tabs, one for my forum (http://glutenfreepost.com/forum/index.php) and one for my recipe page (http://glutenfreepost.com/Recipes/main.php). I really appreciate your help, and I have heard sooo many compliments about my new blog, so I owe you a big thanks!

102. hso | February 19, 2007 #

@ Jay

You can open header.php and add these lines of code each < within >:

li class=”page_item”

a href=”forum url”

/a

/li

Add it right below the “wp_list_pages” line.

103. Andrew | February 20, 2007 #

Perhaps the silliest question ever – How do I take out your flicker click throughs and the announcement of your different templates? I can’t seem to find that in either the plugins or the presentation options? Thanks for a great design BTW!

104. hso | February 20, 2007 #

@ Andrew,

Open sidebar.php and delete the announcement as instructed within the file and while you are at it, look for the Flickr javascript and just delete it. Make sure you make a copy of your original files before you try any of it, just in case.

105. Andrew | February 21, 2007 #

Hi – deleted the flickr reference and the section with ‘delete between here’ but am getting the following error on the page:

Line 156
Char 5
Error: Invalid Argument
Code: 0
…and the web url

Any ideas how to fix? Thanks a ton!

106. Jay | February 21, 2007 #

@ Andrew:
I had the same issue but after trial and error I just deleted part of that code. So if you made a back-up of what you deleted…and I know you did . Then paste it back in and delete enough to make your code look like mine below:

Flickr

______________
It may not be the way others say to do it, and I am far from a CSS guy, but at least it works for me.

107. Andrew | February 21, 2007 #

Thx Jay. Will give it a try!

108. hso | February 21, 2007 #

@ Andrew

Delete this piece of code:

h2 My Flicks /h2

!–Hoverbox Flickr by Nathan Smith http://www.sonspring.com–

div id=”flickr”

script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?

count=4&display=random&size=s&layout=y &source=all_tag&tag=3k2reduxScreenshot” /script

/div

Note I have removed all the < and > from the code.

109. ryan | February 26, 2007 #

Hi, is there a way to remove the scrub bar (or whatever it is called) from the rolling archives? I like the function of rolling archive, but i just want the older/newer links.

Thanks,
Ryan

110. hso | February 26, 2007 #

@ Ryan

If you are comfortable with deleting codes, go ahead and open rollingarchive.php and look and delete href codes that points to “rollprevious” and “rollnext”. Save a copy of the original file just in case!

111. ryan | February 27, 2007 #

Oh sorry, maybe i said it wrong, what you suggested does the opposite of what I want. I still want the “older” and “newer”, but I want to get rid of the slider bar. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Ryan

112. hso | February 27, 2007 #

@ Ryan

Go to K2 options page and deactivate rolling archives, that will take care of the slidebar.

113. ryan | February 27, 2007 #

Yeah, I totally got that, and I am super sorry to bother you with these questions, but that is not what I mean.
1. I want rolling archives on.
2. I want the “older” and “newer” links
3. I DO NOT want the slider bar.
Do you think it is possible?

114. headsetop | February 27, 2007 #

@ Ryan

The rolling archive is the sliderbar!

Do you only want the newer/older links?

115. tecosystems » I Have the Fatigue of a Bear That Has the Fatigue of Ten Bears | February 28, 2007 #

[...] For the vast majority of folks – those of you picking up my feed – this is a non-issue. But for the folks that visit the actual site, you’ll notice that the thing looks different on an almost daily basis. The reason for this is that I keep discovering minor problems with each theme, and my efforts to fix the problems seem to be manufacturing new ones. I’d more or less settled on Serene, a theme I’d admired from its TextPattern days, but after mucking around in the templates this weekend something went wrong and the comments portion of each entry got screwed up. So it was back to my other three column template, 3 K2 Redux Klein, which isn’t bad but has a number of issues of its own (Mint/Statcounter no longer work, the post slider doesn’t work, it breaks Alex’s Popularity Contest plugin, and so on). The “solution” for this is probably going to be to wait until Alex has some free cycles (not only don’t I have any bandwidth, but I’m so bad with CSS it takes me eons to do anything) and contract him to build me a Sandbox based three column template (and maybe ones for Cote and James – you guys interested?). Until then, I’m going to be desperately swapping from theme to theme in a shell game fashion to try and find the one that’s least broken. [...]

116. ryan | February 28, 2007 #

Yeah, only the newer/older links, but i like how they load just the content area and dont mess with my sidebar (so the music i have keeps playing etc).
Think it can work?
Seriously, thanks for your time, if it can’t be done thats fine, but i think it would be cool if it can.

117. jay | February 28, 2007 #

Hi, All of the sudden I can’t view any drafts. I keep getting:
Not Found
Oh no! You’re looking for something which just isn’t here! Fear not however, errors are to be expected, and luckily there are tools on the sidebar for you to use in your search for what you need.
…when i click publish on those same drafts, it works just fine. Any ideas?

118. hso | February 28, 2007 #

Strange! Where do you see this info? In the preview window below the WP Editor?

119. jay | March 1, 2007 #

yep…exactly

120. headsetop | March 1, 2007 #

@ Jay

I never tried that with any of my posts, may be K2 does not consider a draft as a post since it is not published! I need to check.

121. Jay | March 1, 2007 #

ok, its worked every time up till now…no changes were made on my end that i would think could effect this. But I have at least 50-7o posts that this worked on and now my last 4 dont show the draft. But again, when i hit publish on these drafts, it presents just fine. Not a show stopper, but i always like to see the draft first.

122. hso | March 1, 2007 #

@ Jay

Did you add any new plugins?

123. jay | March 1, 2007 #

no, the last thing i added was the Snap preview. That was over 3 weels ago. And I post at least once per day so i dont think that was it.

124. Francisco Carle | March 5, 2007 #

Hi there HSO:
Thanks for your theme. It Really fits with my design needs. It’s cool!!!
But I have a problem, As you can see in my blog ‘Rolling Archives’ doesn’t seem to work. It just keeps loading and loading, but nothing appeared.
Can you tell me which file of K2 I have to review to find a possible solution?
What and where can be my mistake?
Which files may need a fix?
Thanks so much.
Best wishes.
Francisco.

125. headsetop | March 7, 2007 #

@ Francisco

For some reason, that version of K2 had issues in IE, I believe you have done nothing wrong, it is a IE bug that may be resolved in future releases.

126. Daryl W.T. Lau | March 16, 2007 #

Hi there HSO… thx for a great template with superb functionality. I am facing some issues with it tho and hope you can enlighten me since I am not good with codings and such. I wanted to change the post title color but can’t find the code that does the trick.

Cheers!
Daryl

127. Daryl W.T. Lau | March 16, 2007 #

So sad that we have to disable the Rolling Archive in order to work with IE… have this been fixed cos I really really love this feature very much.

128. hso | March 16, 2007 #

@ Daryl

Open style.css and look for this:

body {
font: 62.5% ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
color: #444;

Change the color from #444 to whatever!

Oh, the rolling archives,I need to check the new K2 theme. It may be fixed in all our future K2 based themes, watch for new themes for downloads exclusive from headsetoptions.org

129. jay | March 20, 2007 #

Hi…i am having an issue where my comments no longer work. if you go to the comments and try to post…the page just hangs. Can you please let me know what I need to do to fix this? You are welcome to try to post a test comment so you can see the issue.

130. Jay | March 21, 2007 #

Update to the above: I have the comments issue resolved for now. I ended up turning off the AJAX commenting (i think it was on by default as I have no idea what that does so i never would have messed with it) and all of the sudden peeps could comment again. very strange.

131. domenico | March 28, 2007 #

Hi.
I’m using your theme for my wordpress blog.
The theme is 3k2redux-klein.
I ‘ve tried the validation but it doesn’t pass it.
I fix the xhtml problem(i can send the sidebar.php if you want) but i have problem with css.
This is what i get
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://makemoney.netsons.org/

Thanx

132. hso | March 28, 2007 #

@ Domenico

You have 6 errors between lines 121 and 167, all of which are from some sort of translate code you have added for English and Italian. Remove and you should be good on XHTML validition.

For CSS validation, you really need to hack it to suit your site, this theme is so old that _ (underscore) in the code will show as errors! It will work well across most all browsers though.

133. Crystal Waters | March 30, 2007 #

First, thanks for a great template! I’ve been using it for a few months now. I’ve altered it a bit, but overall I’m very happy with it. I’m not a programmer, so I have to count on talents like yours to get me started, and then I fuddle around trying to tweak things and often end up just confusing myself, lol! But I’ve been able to figure a lot of things out that I wanted to accomplish.

I have a couple of things I’d like to add/change, and I can’t figure out how to do them.

I’d like to add ‘recent comments’ to the sidebar, and I can’t figure out how to do that.

Also, is there any way to change the TITLE to reflect the content of the page, or am I stuck with the one?

Thank you!
Crystal Waters
girlbike.com

134. headsetop | March 30, 2007 #

@ Crystal Waters

1) To add recent comments, you will need either “Get Recent Comments” or “BLC” plugin.

2) Title? blog title or page title?

135. Jay | March 31, 2007 #

I have a quick blog title question too. Although I think Crystal’s question is based on page title ((girlbike.com is a pretty cool lookinig site btw, nice work Crystal!)).
My issue is that when Technorati scans my blog, they have it listed as ‘untitled’. The reason is, if you check out my blog page, my header is custom so if I fill in the Weblog Title under General Options, it writes on top of my new header. So is there a way to make that font so small that it is almost not visible or is there such a thing as ‘clear’ font? People love my new site since i switched to your template so thanks a bunch!

136. hso | March 31, 2007 #

@ Jay

Unfortunately, there is no “clear” font, so the next best thing is to have it there for search engines to read, but not for your users.

I am not sure if this will work, but you can make things invisible (for users at least) by adding a < followed by a ! and -- then as space followed by our tag for the title, then space and -- and >

Try and let us know if it works!

137. jen | March 31, 2007 #

I want to move the comments at the top behind the published by (breaks when I do it) AND put a comments link at the BOTTOM of the post… I managed to put it aftewards, but I have the sharethis lplugin and it puts it after the comments, and I cant find the right place for it… should I put it IN the sharethis plugin code maybe?

138. Todor | April 1, 2007 #

Hi,

Congratulations for the great FREE theme!

I have one problem with it, however.

After setting up my website http://www.sitamanagement.com with the theme, I saw that when looking at the theme in Firefox and in IE6, there is a blank space which appears between Sidebar 1 and Sidebar 2 (left and right sidebar).

This blank space is approximately 50px and shows only in IE and I do not know how to proceed in order to fix it to look the same in FF and in IE6.

Can you help me with this one?

Keep the great work you are doing!

139. hso | April 1, 2007 #

@ Jen

Try using the Shart This plugin in manual mode. To use it, open the Plugin file (share-this.php) and look for this:

(‘AKST_ADDTOCONTENT’, true);

and make it false like this:

(‘AKST_ADDTOCONTENT’, false);

Then add this line to where you want Share This (in line with the bottom comment line) by using this tag between < and > like this:

?php akst_share_link(); ?

As for the top links, you should be able to swap the Comments and Published by links, make sure you are NOT pasting the comment code above the small meta tag.

140. headsetop | April 1, 2007 #

@ Todor

I think I know what that it, open style.css and look for this line:

padding: 0 39px 0 10px !important;

It will be under .lsidebar

Change the 39px to 10px and see it if reduces the blank space, let me know.

141. Todor | April 1, 2007 #

Hi hso,

I changed 39px to 10pix and after that – even to 0px – the effect was that under FF the two sidevars are not equal in width anymore and they look more like in IE.

But how to make those 2 sidebars equal, like it was in FF when the padding was 39px?

When with equal width, the theme looks much more balanced.

142. hso | April 2, 2007 #

@ Todor

Check if these setting are similar in your CSS:

#primary {
width: 500px !important;
float: left;

.secondary {
font: 1em/1.5em ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
padding: 10px 0 10px!important;
margin: 5px 0 20px 10px !important;
width: 470px !important;
float: right;

.rsidebar {
margin: 0;
width: 200px !important;
padding: 0 5px 0 5px !important;
border-left: 1px solid #CCD6E8;
border-right: 1px solid #CCD6E8;
float: left !important;
}
.lsidebar {
margin: 0;
width: 200px !important;
padding: 0 45px 0 5px;
float: right !important;
}

If not, email me your style.css at headsetop [at] yahoo [dot] com.

143. jen | April 2, 2007 #

Thanks! got it all pimped right… one more question…

How the hell to ditch the dots next to the blog roll cat titles?

144. headsetop | April 2, 2007 #

@ Jen

I am guessing you are using Widgets! Well, for one, there is no easy way to get rid of the dots, unless you are willing to try manually entering some code, let me know and I can walk you through!

145. jen | April 3, 2007 #

yup widgets, dang, I can do code I just need to know what to do. No biggie, just as a designer the dots are annoying since they aren’t consistent…

If you know what to enter, throw it at me, I’ll give it a shot.

jen

146. headsetop | April 3, 2007 #

@ Jen

Well, I was thinking I’ll ask you to open sidebar.php and add the code for blogroll yourself as below (remember, each line is within a < and > )

ul
?php wp_get_linksbyname(’somename’); ?
/ul

Replace the ’somename’ with your links category name, like ‘Other Ohioans’

147. Kaonashi | April 18, 2007 #

Hello hso,

I have several other authors who will be publishing on my blog. I’d like to be able to give credit to their posts.

I’d like to add something like, “Posted by ” code at the top, after “Published (date) in (category)”. I’ve looked in theloop.php but since I can’t read php, I have no idea where to add this. Thank you in advance.

148. headsetop | April 19, 2007 #

@ Kaonashi

Code for the author’s name is included in your theloop.php code, you need to make sure the users have their nickname filled in their user profile and it should show up. If not, let me know and I will check again.

Very nice and well designe theme keep it up

151. Ladin Ventures | May 8, 2007 #

Love the Theme!

I’ve installed it here at http://www.theschmoozer.net.

One problem though. When I view it on IE6 it comes up all jumbled.

Firefox works fine though.

Please help!

152. Don | May 10, 2007 #

Thank you for all your work on this theme. I’ve customized and installed it on my site.

153. headsetop | May 12, 2007 #

@ Ladin Ventures

The problem appears to be staring from this post (http://006a9e2.netsolhost.com/blog1/?p=37), unformat the post and you should be good to go! Also, never copy and paste from a Word Doc or other formatted sources.

helloone cuestion..
how to change your flickr images for my own images?

i saw the code and only view this code:

div id=”flickr”

script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?

count=4&display=random&size=s&layout=y &source=all_tag&tag=3k2reduxScreenshot” /script

/div

but i not can change or replace for my flickr photos.

(excuses for my terrible English)

155. hso | May 13, 2007 #

@ Cristián

If you have a Flickr account, you probably already have images with some tag, use that tag in place of this

&tag=3k2reduxScreenshot

For example, if you images are tagged myphotosfromhome use it as

&tag=myphotosfromhome

156. jen | May 17, 2007 #

Hey, I’m wanting to add a login tab to the top, I tried to add one from the sister template and it broke klein, any help?

157. hso | May 17, 2007 #

Thank you!

@ Sam

Go to yous site and login to WP. Then click on “Write” from the top level menu, then “Write Page” from the 2nd level menu and creat a page. The name of the page will be added as a new tab in the header.

163. jen | June 12, 2007 #

Can you ell me why it scrolls side to side? I’ve been trying to figure it out since i put it up… is it the BG image I picked? I shouldn’t make a diff but it’s all I have halfway come up with as to why.

164. Hitman1 | June 18, 2007 #

I love your theme and I’m using it currently for my blog. I even customized it a little bit to fit my need.

The one thing that I miss after using your theme is that my additional pages like the About page, no longer display comments!! Is there a way to re-enable that?

165. hso | June 19, 2007 #

@ Hitman1

Pages usually do not have the comments form, but it is easy to add in most themes. The backend for this theme you are using is based on K2, which is a little bit different from all other themes and has conditional queries to address index, single and page files. In short, it’s a little bit different with K2 to add comments.

To do so:

1) Login and go to pages and click edit on the page you want comments in.

2) From the right hand side menu, select templates and pick the one that says “Default Template w. Comments”

3) That’s it.

166. Stonelove | June 20, 2007 #

Hello, great theme and great artwork! I just have a few simple questions (i’m a newbie) …

1. How do I add a link of clickable text above my header? I figured out how to move it down to make room but I’d like to link that text to the “win” section of my site

2. How do I “lighten” up the color of the header to a deeper orange? The red shade of the header and the links is a little too strong. I like how the tabs change to orange and green and want to keep that. I just want to maybe change the color of the header image. Is this possible?

3. How do I remove the whole My Flicks section from the sidebar?

167. hso | June 22, 2007 #

@ Stonelove

1) Not sure what this clickable text is, is it a menu or an advertisement that repeats on all pages?

2) The header is an image, so you need to edit the image head.jpg in your images folder. Also, the menu buttons colors can be altered by changing the “background” part of the code below in your style.css file:

ul.menu li a {
font: 1em Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif;
color: white;
margin: 0;
background: #F25705;
}
ul.menu li a:hover {
background: #F2B014;
color: #eee !important;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.menu li.current_page_item a,
ul.menu li.current_page_item a:hover {
color: #fff !important;
background: #69943E;
text-decoration: none;
}

3) Open sidebar.php, find and delete the JavaScript below the text “Hoverbox Flickr by Nathan Smith” and also the h2 heading “My Flicks”

168. Stonelove | June 23, 2007 #

Thanks hso, I’m getting there slowly but surely. In regards to #1 above, yes it’s an ad that repeats across all pages. Would be nice if I could make it random. I will use that to announce giveaways.

#2, I have a more pressing problem. I have a pretty popular post on my site called “Top 10 ways to beat the Casino” that’s been getting a lot of hits at http://www.agrandioseblog.com. So I added an adsense block into the post (the footer was fine before that). Now I notice that my footer is off to the side underneath my sidebars! How do I get it back to the bottom of the page?
This was the code I added in the post

Thanks!

169. Julia | June 25, 2007 #

Hi, hso!

A quick sidebar question:

I’m trying to add a Feedblitz form under the existing RSS Feed form. But when I add it, my sidebar drops way down. Any ideas as to why this happens?

Thanks!

170. hso | June 25, 2007 #

@ Stonelove

1) Copy and paste ad code in header.php between

div id=”page”
and
div id=”header”

2) I would not add the adsense code in the post, but rather in the single.php file between

?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/theloop.php’); ?
and
?php comments_template(); ?

171. hso | June 25, 2007 #

@ Julia

If you look at your FeedBurner code, you’ll notice this:

size=”30″

That size is the what determines the width of the form where you type the email ID. Change that to “20″ or play around with the size to reduce it (it only reduces the size and not the “maxlength”), that should do it.

172. Shine | June 25, 2007 #

Hi. Thank you so much for the great website. It’s the template of my website at http://www.shinewithgrace.com now. Love it.

173. Julia | June 26, 2007 #

Thanks so much! That did the trick.

174. Julia | June 26, 2007 #

Oops, except now I see my main column has moved to the left, when it should align under the header. Help?!

175. hso | June 26, 2007 #

@ Julia

Looks fine to me on IE and FF. You can make the form smaller if you like!

176. Julia | June 27, 2007 #

Thanks for checking it out, hso! But to me (in IE), the main column is unaligned. I did try making the form smaller and it didn’t move the column back to where it should be (aligned under the header). I’ll keep trying. Thanks again for all your help and great theme!

177. Julia | June 29, 2007 #

I’m sorry to be such a nuisance. I can’t get the main column to align properly. I’ve played around with the E-mail form and other features…I can’t figure out from style.css what to change or how to change it. It seems like a left margin issue–like I should be able to change a margin setting so the column aligns under the head and the whole main body is centered. Can you please help me figure this out? Thanks so much.

178. hso | June 29, 2007 #

@ Julia

What is your screen resolution? This theme is fixed width and is optimized for 1024px wide screens. It looks fine in 1024px.

179. Julia | June 30, 2007 #

Hi, hso:

I did have my screen res set to the highest setting. I changed it to 1024, and now everything looks kind of blurry and awful. And my site now takes up the whole screen instead of centering nicely with white space on either side. Is this how you see it? I don’t think I changed my screen res at any point–it never looked like this before. I’ll keep playing around. Thanks!

180. hso | June 30, 2007 #

@ Julia

The screenshot looks like this:

http://www.wpsnap.com/wp-content/themes/default/screenshots/23.jpg

181. Stonelove | July 3, 2007 #

Hso, thanks for all your previous help. The site is coming together quite nicely at http://www.agrandioseblog.com

Any luck on helping me figure out how to add text to the white space above the header? I’ve figured out how to create space for the text by moving the whole page down. I would like to have that text link to my “contests” page. What would be an easy way to do this, because I figure I will be running contests frequently and would need to edit the text above the header image accordingly.

182. hso | July 3, 2007 #

@ Stonelove

Did you try adding the text right in between the following tags in header.php?

div id=”page”

//add text here//

div id=”header”

You might have to use some formatting like text-align: center; or whatever you like!

Here’s a screenshot of how my header looks:

http://idothings.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/header1.JPG

Hopefully I did this right, and you can see that the body of the site is shifted to the left of the header rather than aligning underneath it.

Thanks Hso, that worked! Now I just have to figure out how to add the text alignment properties, lol.

I’m trying to add feedburner stats pro code to my site, and the people at feedburner want me to add their code just above the line – they used the default wordpress theme as an example and edited the style.css

I also need to add some code to the single.php, again using the default wordpress theme as an example.

Where can I find these 2 locations in the 3k2 redux klein theme?

I checked the k2 support forums to no avail: http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2951&highlight=feedburner

186. hso | July 5, 2007 #

@ Julia

Did you edit any of the php files? When I view your source code, it appears like you have more closed div’s such as /div than open div’s.

187. Julia | July 5, 2007 #

Hi, hso:

Yeah, I did edit some of the phps. I posted my problem on WordPress’s support forums, and someone was kind enough to run a validation test on my site (lots of errors!) So I’m going to work on fixing those nasty div’s and br’s over the weekend and see if that helps. Thanks again for all the great support!

188. Roshan | July 6, 2007 #

I would really love it if they cud be included on the sidebar all the time rather than only on the archives page. Can you help me out with the codes?

Please email back.
Thanks

189. hso | July 8, 2007 #

@ Roshan

The theme is widget ready, which means you can add the necessary elements in your sidebar using the Sidebar Widget plugin.

190. A Grandiose Blog - Free Men's Blogazine | July 10, 2007 #

Hso, I read a pretty good article on how to prevent sites from leaking pagerank. One of the things the author mentioned was preventing the blogroll from showing up on all pages of a site and restricting it only to the homepage.

I wasn’t sure where to find the blogroll code in your template – how do I go about making this edit to the klein wordpress theme?

Thanks

191. hso | July 10, 2007 #

@ A Grandiose Blog

If you want the blogroll to show only in the home page, you need to use a conditional statement in your sidebar with the code for blogroll manually included (cannot use widgets).

A simple example is below, remember the codes need to be placed with < and > which I stripped to show the code:

?php if ( is_home()) : ?
BLOGROLL CODE HERE
?php endif // is_home() ?

Also, there are many ways to show your blogroll, use this page on Codex to decide how you want the blogrolls to show.

Hope it helps!

192. Julia | July 11, 2007 #

Hi again, hso!

I had to reupload my theme files, and can no longer remember how to change the font color for post heads “I’m Writing a Blog” and “I Went to a Nude Beach” or how to change the font color of the sidebar heads “Latest Posts” and “Subscribe.” As you can see, the other sidebar heads are blue–I just can’t figure out how to change those 2.

And…one more thing, if you don’t mind. Is there a code I can input to make the feedblitz and feedburner chicklets align under everything else in that column? I tried addin a command, which worked, but I didn’t like the way it looked, and that vertical green rule STILL didn’t extend down.

Any help? Thanks.

193. hso | July 11, 2007 #

@ Julia

Look for this in style.css:

h2, h2 a, h2 a:visited,
h3, h3 a, h3 a:visited,
h4, h4 a, h4 a:visited {
color: #444;
}

The color #444 is the color for your h3 (which is the posts heads) and search for this:

h2 a:hover, h2 span a:hover {
color: #27d !important;
}

to change the sidebar h2 colors.

It appears like one or more files are missing from the theme. Ensure that the content/themes/3k2redux folder has 19 .php files, if not, reload the theme files via FTP from a fresh download.

198. Cocktails, Cigars, Tech & More aka Stonelove | July 13, 2007 #

Hso, got another question for ya – but before I ask I just want to take a minute to recognize your efforts in terms of the support you provide the hundreds of people who are using your theme. I’m sure it must be somewhat taxing at times in addition to everything else you do – but a lot of us really appreciate you. I guess in a way that adds to it’s popularity – that sure was one of the main factors that led to me picking your theme over the thousands of other wordpress templates out there. So once again, thank you.

Okay here’s my question – I’d like to run some auctionads javascript in a widget to go in one of my sidebar. I’ve added the javascript in a text module and dragged it to the sidebar but I can’t see anything. How should I go about this?

Thanks!

199. Yen | July 14, 2007 #

Thanks hso! I still can’t figure it out but I have another question for you in the other theme I am using now:) Hope you don’t mind!

Thanks!

200. Julia | July 18, 2007 #

Hi, hso!

I’d like to change the “Comments” under the post title to read “Post a Comment. But I’m assuming this would screw up the number of comments made? (I currently have 0). I’m also assuming the code to be changed is in here somewhere:

‘.__(‘Comment’,'k2_domain’).”, ‘1 ’.__(‘Comment’,'k2_domain’).”, ‘% ’.__(‘Comment’,'k2_domain’).”, ‘commentslink’, ”.__(‘Closed’,'k2_domain’).”); ?>

But I haven’t been able to change anything. Thanks for any help.

201. hso | July 19, 2007 #

@ Julia

You want it to read “Post a Comment” when there are no comments I am guessing?

If so, open theloop.php and look for:

<small class="metadata">

<?php comments_popup_link('0 <span>'.__('Comments','k2_domain').'</span>', '1 <span>'.__('Comment','k2_domain').'</span>', '% <span>'.__('Comments','k2_domain').'</span>', 'commentslink', '<span class="commentslink">'.__('Closed','k2_domain').'</span>'); ?>

Change

<?php comments_popup_link('0 <span>'.__('Comments','k2_domain').

to

<?php comments_popup_link('0 <span>'.__('Post a Comment','k2_domain').

202. Julia | July 20, 2007 #

Thanks for the response, hso. I tried that–it still says “0 Comments.” I’ll keep playing around…

203. Cocktails, Gadgets & More | July 22, 2007 #

Hso, could you take a look at my site and tell me how to fix the issue with the runaway text-link ad “luv my cigar”? I don’t know why it’s showing on top of my sponsor box when it’s already where it’s supposed to be under “Other Grandiose Sites”. In other words, it’s only supposed to show up once yet it’s showing up twice.

Also, is there a way to keep the mybloglog sidebar widget on just the home page?

Thanks!

204. hso | July 23, 2007 #

@ Cocktails, ga…

First off, the Luv My Cigar link is repeated twice because you have pasted/added it in both the left and right sidebar, not sure how you are doing it, but if it is a widget check to ensure you just have it on the left sidebar, if not go edit the sidebar.php file.

As for having your MyBlogLog only on your home page, paste the script between the codes as shown below in your sidebar:

<?php if ( (is_home()) ) { ?>
//your mybloglog script//
<?php endif; ?>

205. Julia | July 24, 2007 #

Argh. I give up. This must be so simple, but…
…how do I get the Archives feature to work? I see the archive.php file but I don’t know how to make the archives appear on the page I created. Please help!

206. hso | July 24, 2007 #

@ Julia

Do you have the ELA plugin active? If not, do so first since K2’s default archives page uses this plugin (extended live archive). Once activated, go to the theme options page (WP Admin > Presentation > K2 Options) and activate archives.

207. Julia | July 25, 2007 #

The ELA plugin is in my WP folder on my server but it doesn’t show up on my Plugins Management page so I can activate it. I did activate the K2 Archives on the Options page, but still no ELA plugin to activate.

208. hso | July 25, 2007 #

@ Julia

I included the ELA for the sake of downloading along with the theme, it needs to be moved to the wp-content/plugins/ folder. Then activate it just like you would any other plugin from WP Admin > Plugins.

209. Cocktails, Gadgets & More | July 26, 2007 #

Hso, I’ve checked to no avail on that issue with the repeating “Luv my cigar” links on my site, http://www.agrandioseblog.com

When I look at the page source of the file in my firefox browser, I can see the links above my first sponsored ad, the one for absinthe. Is there a way that I can just go in and edit that file – I guess for a regular html site it would be the index.htm file but I’m not sure what the equivalent file would be in your theme. I think this would fix the problem. Thanks!

210. hso | July 26, 2007 #

@ Cocktail, Gad…

Login and go to WP Admin > Presentation > Theme Editor and select sidebar.php from the right column. Search (Ctrl+F) for “luv my cigar”, find and delete.

211. Cocktails, Gadgets & More | July 26, 2007 #

Hso, I already did that. I even ftp’d into my server and looked at the sidebar.php manually. No instances of the phrase or words “luv my cigar” at all – bet yet it’s still there if you look at the page source code in a browser. This is very odd, I can’t where it’s coming from. I’ve also searched the header, stylesheet and footer but still no luck

212. hso | July 26, 2007 #

@ Cocktail, G…

Do you have WP Cache enabled? If so, delete it and check. If not, I could check your site via admin panel, contact me using the contact page.

213. Julia | July 27, 2007 #

Hi, hso

I did upload the folder into my plugins folder and activated, updated the options, etc. I typed in

the page I created as an Archives page, but nothing shows up. Is it because WordPress keeps changing the code to

or am I just missing something really obvious?

Thanks so much.

214. Julia | July 27, 2007 #

Sorry, what I typed in and didn’t show up was the code in your Read Me document.

215. hso | July 27, 2007 #

@ Julia

When you activate the plugin (ELA) and select “Enable the K2 Archives page” from the K2 Options page, you should automatically see a new page being created called Archives (with a ’s’). The page slug for this new page is ‘archives’, which means, if you already have a page with the same name or if you are using clean Permalink, you might be clashing with the page name slug. To correct it, make sure you don’t have more than one page names archives, if so, rename the one you created.

Also, what version of WP are you using? Check to ensure you have the correct version of ELA to work with you version of WP.

216. Julia | July 28, 2007 #

Hi, hso,

Thanks so much for your patience. I deleted the Archives page I created, but a new one wasn’t created in its stead. My version of WP seems OK with the version of ELA, so I’ll keep trying…

217. Julia | July 30, 2007 #

Hey, hso, it’s me again!

How can I insert some padding between the bulleted lists (under “Categories” and “Latest Posts”) and the vertical rules to their left? The bulleted lists look fine in IE but in Firefox the bullets overlap with the rule.

Thanks for any help, as always!

218. hso | July 30, 2007 #

@ Julia

There are some IE hack included in the CSS that is outdated, I suggest you open style.css and find this:

.secondary ul, .secondary ol, .secondary div div {
margin: 5px 0 0;
padding-left: 0;
}

and add the necessary left padding in px, like 5px or whatever. Hope it helps!

219. Julia | July 30, 2007 #

Thanks again!

220. Roshan | July 30, 2007 #

221. hso | July 30, 2007 #

@ Roshan

If you are talking about the rolling archives it does not work for categories as far as I know. Is that what you are asking about?

222. Roshan | July 31, 2007 #

Yes I am. But how do you go through the posts in a particular category? Say for example, if in a category I have 30 posts. Can we add a ‘Next Page’ link at the bottom or top of the page? What could be the codes?

I’ve been poking around trying to figure out how to rectify that, but haven’t so far . . . did you have any ideas with either of those two?

225. hso | August 11, 2007 #

@ John

If you have rolling archive active, the bottom nav is disabled! It’s one or the other that would be on at a give time.

226. John | August 11, 2007 #

Shucks! I LOVE the rolling archive, but can’t figure out how to get it on the archives pages! You gave some brief instructions, but I confess they didn’t make total sense to me. Any chance you could spell it out for an idiot?

I’m impressed by all this support you give. Thanks!

227. alecatania | August 11, 2007 #

Hi hso, I am having a problem.

In Internet Explorer 6 only, it loads the sidebars at the bottom, below the main posts…

can you give me a hand?

thanks

228. hso | August 11, 2007 #

@ John

You want to add bottom navigation to the archive page? Your archive page is currently blank? You are not using ELA I am guessing. Anyway, to add the navigation to any page, you’ll need to identify the loop for that page type in theloop.php and add one line of code with the loop where you want the nav to appear:

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/navigation.php'); ?>

The question then is, are you planning on using ELA for archive in which case it has it’s own nav or do yoou have anything else in mind?

229. hso | August 11, 2007 #

@ alecatamia

This usually happens with the size of the image you are using in your post exceeds the width of the content area. Check the images and reduce the size a bit and see if it help!

I checked in IE6 and your site looks fine.

I’ve changed

to:

231. John | August 11, 2007 #

I fumbled around attempting to do what you suggest and, eventually, got it to work basically by putting that code above the archive title. So no I have the slider on the front page and the previous/next links on the archive pages. It would be cool to bet the slider on the archive pages too, but from reading here, it doesn’t seem possible . . .

Regardless, thanks for all your help!

232. Ruecast | August 17, 2007 #

I want to increase the number of recent post showed on the side bar. The configuration just leave 5 recent post. I want almost 10. How can I configure that option.
I also want to increase the size of the calendar it is too thin. And ubicate the search tool bar in the top of the side bar.
Thank you.

233. hso | August 19, 2007 #

@ Ruecast

Go to WP Admin > Options > Reading and set the number of posts to display. As for the calendar, there is no styling included for that widget, you might have to included a width parameter for div id=”calendar” like below:

#calendar: width:180px

As for search, do you want it right above both sidebars?

234. Ruecast | August 19, 2007 #

Thank you for your response.
I mean, the recent posts in the left side bar. Not in the main bar. It just publish the title of 5 of the latest posts, how can i change it. You can enter to my site at http://www.programapolitico.info . I mean in the center bar.
I want the search tool bar above the left side bar. “again, the center bar”. In the top.
Thank you hso

235. hso | August 20, 2007 #

@ Ruecast

If you are using widgets, it will should show 10 posts, if not, open sidebar.php and look for this:

WP_Query(’showposts=X’)

or

query_posts(’showposts=X’)

and change the value of “X” (which in your case is 5) to 10.

Also, if you are using widgets, moving the search bar is as easy as dragging and dropping the search widget to the top of the center column. If you are not using widgets, you need to copy paste the hard code in sidebar.php to the top of that column.

236. Seth | August 21, 2007 #

I would like for the Nav Menu to call the Blog page “Home” instead of “Blog.” Where can I make this change?

237. Seth | August 21, 2007 #

Another question: my post info seems screwy. For example, a post says:

TITLE
0 comments [icon] Published by May 6th, 2007 in .

That’s not right. What plugins does the theme assume I’m running?

238. hso | August 21, 2007 #

@ Seth

Open header.php and look for this:

<li class="<?php if ( is_home() or is_archive() or is_single() or is_paged() or is_search() or (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php _e('Blog','k2_domain'); ?></a></li>

Change

<?php _e('Blog','k2_domain'); ?>

to

<?php _e('Home','k2_domain'); ?>

Also, there is no plugin it assumes you use, it appears like you have no categories selected for your post!

239. Seth | August 21, 2007 #

But I do have a category. It appears on the site just after the icon in the line I posted.

240. Seth | August 22, 2007 #

Please take a look at the site so you can see what I mean: http://www.ramslive.com.

241. hso | August 22, 2007 #

@ Seth

Did you make any mods to the theloop.php file?

242. Seth | August 22, 2007 #

No. I tried, in order to fix this problem, but as far as I know, I didn’t.

243. Seth | August 22, 2007 #

OK – the problem goes away when I deactivate the Nice Categories plugin (http://txfx.net/2004/07/22/wordpress-conversational-categories/).

Hmmmm.

244. Bike | September 3, 2007 #

Hi there,

you mentioned that the ELA plugin is in the download. Maybe I am not looking right, but where is it?
If it is not included, which one/where should be downloaded in order to work with your theme?
I saw this http://www.sonsofskadi.net/extended-live-archive/

But none of these files are in your theme download as far as I can see.

Thanks!

245. hso | September 8, 2007 #

@ Bike

If there are no ELA files in the download get it from the link you have included and download the latest stable version.

Great ! Compliments.

248. hso | September 14, 2007 #

@ Vatu

Open style.css and find the styles for:

#primary
.secondary
.rsidebar
and
.lsidebar

Adjust the width as needed, remember the sum of primary and secondary should not exceed 970px.

[...] Technical note: The release of WordPress 2.3 is a putative boon to bloggers everywhere. But if you’re using any variant of the K2 theme (as does this very site), be aware that your asides.php (in /themes/[themename]/options/app/) will break. See here for a useful fix — for my part, I had to comment out the IF statement that called on the now-defunct post2cat database category. If you’re not up for monkeying with your PHP code, there’s a list of WP 2.3-compatible themes here.

Oops….I guess I should have known the trackback would show up!

252. Lloyd | September 30, 2007 #

I’m getting an error when a click the archive page after upgrading to WP 2.3. Below is the exact error message.

WordPress database error: [Table 'lloyd_blogdata.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_categories

Anybody have an idea on how to fix it?

253. hso | October 1, 2007 #

@ Lloyd

Are you using Sidebar Widgets? What version of WP did you upgrade from? Do you have a backup of the DB from the earlier version?

254. Lloyd Lopez | October 2, 2007 #

I’m not using sidebar widgets and I was previously usingWP 2.2.2.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a DB backup of the earlier version.

255. hso | October 3, 2007 #

@ Lloyd

Are you using Extended Live Archive plugin? The default K2 archive page uses ELA, make sure it is active and is V2.3 compatible.

256. Jeff | October 19, 2007 #

hey, thanks for the great themes…

stupid question…which files do I need to upload into the plugins folder?

Thanks!

257. hso | October 19, 2007 #

@ Jeff

If you downloaded the theme recently, I do not believe there are any plugins in it. The optional plugins for this theme is the Extended Live Archive and Get Recent Comments. The theme works without any plugin.

258. Jeff | October 19, 2007 #

Got it, thanks!

next question: I have the 2-column layout, and yet when I go into the widgets editor, there are two sidebars..

Also, when I add widgets to the first sidebar, it doesn’t delete the default widgets, and some widgets aren’t appearing at all…

any thoughts?
Thanks!

259. Jeff | October 19, 2007 #

never mind…I figured out how to update the sidebar.php file…

260. Jeff | October 21, 2007 #

I have the sociable plugin installed, which adds bookmark links to the end of post on the permalink pages, but I want to also add the links after the posts on the main homepage. Here’s the code I think I need to add:

Can you tell me where I would ad it? (in which template and where in the code?)

Thanks

261. Jeff | October 21, 2007 #

sorry, here’s the code:
<div class="sociable"> <?php if(function_exists('wp_email')) { email_link(); } ?> </div>

262. hso | October 21, 2007 #

@ Jeff

Open theloop.php and find this:

<div class="itemtext"> <?php the_content(__('Continue reading','k2_domain') . " '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'"); ?> </div>

Add the code right below that. The above code will appear in 2 places within theloop.php file, add your code in both instances.

263. bdtmz | October 22, 2007 #

Hello
I have been using your themes for over a year and I love it. you did a great job.
there is this problem I am facing (i am novice to coding) I cant fix the font size in comments.
I want to increase the font size in the comments to atleast double or equal to what the post font size is. any help?

264. hso | October 23, 2007 #

@ bdtmz

Add a style in your style.css like this:

.comments p {font-size: 1.0em;}

Change the 1.0em to whatever size you want the font to be with respect to the main body font.

265. bdtmz | October 23, 2007 #

Hello
I already did that. I played with
“.comment lists” and added the font : 1.2em afterwards and to me its working.

thanks by the way. I will keep in mind ur tip for the next time.

what do u mean by plugin files? I cant find any. I cant make the theme work to show all the post on pages 1,2,3 if a category holds like 60 posts, it shows only first few.
any help ? i think i cudnt becoz i dont ko which files to upload to plugin folder. is that the reason? if so then which files to upload ?

269. hso | January 4, 2008 #

@ bdtmz

You are right, there is no plugins files included with this download anymore since it is not necessary for the theme to work. As for the pagination, if you deactivate the rolling archives from the theme options page you will automatically activate pagination. Hope it helps!

270. bdtmz | January 5, 2008 #

thanks, it worked

271. Sarah | January 27, 2008 #

Is there a way to delete “Type and Wait to Search” text in the search form?

Thanks!

The theme is fabulous.

272. hso | January 27, 2008 #

@ Sarah

Do you want to disable live search or just change the text?

- Disable is easy, go to the theme options page and uncheck live search.

- Changing or deleting text requires you open the theme folders and look for 3k2kiein/js/livesearch.js.php and open the file. Search for the text “Type and Wait to Search” within the php file, edit or delete it.

273. Sarah | February 2, 2008 #

Thanks for the help. I kept looking in livesearch.php and not livesearch.js.php. My text is changed now.

For most part, this theme is ready for any language, just add to a localized WordPress and it should translate itself. Learn about how to prepare themes for localization here.

279. Karen | April 13, 2008 #

Can you please tell me how to move the ‘Blog’ tab in the menu bar? I want to change the order of the tabs on my menu bar.

I have made a static page called ‘Home’ and used WP to change the default setting so it opens to the static ‘Home’ page first (as a normal website would do)… but the problem is the menu bar. the ‘Blog’ tab is in the place where I want the ‘Home’ tab to be.

I have downloaded the plugin PageMash to control where all of my other tabs are on the menu bar, but it will not recoginze ‘Blog’ as a tab to move it.

Can you help please? Thanks alot!

(PS, I have also emailed you another question as I needed to send you my style sheet for it, hope thats ok!)

280. hso | April 13, 2008 #

@ Karen

With this theme, you need to move the codes manually. Open header.php (header) and look for:

<li class=”<?php if ( is_home() or is_archive() or is_single() or is_paged() or is_search() or (function_exists(‘is_tag’) and is_tag()) ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>”><a href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>”><?php _e(‘Blog’,'k2_domain’); ?></a></li>

Cut and move it past the following line:

<?php wp_list_pages (’sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’); ?>

This will put the blog tab past all the other WP generated tabs. Hope it helps.

281. Karen | April 13, 2008 #

Thank you, that did work, but…

Now when I click on the ‘Blog’ tab, it does not show the blog page, it diverts back to the static ‘Home’ page instead because it is my front page.

I have tested this by changing the front page display option in WP to my ‘About’ page (instead of Home), now when I click the ‘Blog’ tab it diverts to the About page.

So it has something to do with this front page display option, right?

Any ideas? Thanks!

282. hso | April 14, 2008 #

@ Karen

The blog links back to the home page, so irrespective of what page you choose as home, it will point to it. What do you want this tab to point to? If you want to have your blog posts in another page, you need to create a page and select it in the options page to display blog posts.

283. Karen | April 14, 2008 #

Ok, I see what you mean. I have a set up a new page that will now show my posts instead of ‘Blog’. Sorry, I didn’t know before now that you could turn any page into the one that shows posts. Great! (sort of a beginner here)

Now I have got the problem of the ‘Blog’ tab, from your original theme.

I am now no longer using it for my posts, and I can not edit it to become just a static page (my WP dashboard doesn’t seem to recognize it as a page at all) – I need to basically delete this ‘Blog’ tab, so it doesn’t show up on my menu bar at all.

Can I do this?

Thanks for all your help on this!

ps.. did you happen to get my email about the sidebar widths?

284. hso | April 14, 2008 #

@ Karen

Just delete the blog tag code. I did not get your email, do resend.

285. Karen | April 15, 2008 #

THANK YOU!! got it!

its still headsetop [at] yahoo [dot] com right?

286. hso | April 15, 2008 #

@ Karen

I edited your comment to remove my email from spam bots. It is the correct email and I replied I think (are you dkstuff?).

287. Karen | April 15, 2008 #

Thanks so much for your help, cant tell what a relief its been. Saved me MANY hours of fumbling around.

Number one reason why I chose your theme in the first place, the support given. Great stuff!

288. MARTY | May 15, 2008 #

Hi,
is it possible to move one of the sidebars to the left side

like this
sidebar – blog – sidebar

thanks for the theme! Very nice!

289. hso | May 15, 2008 #

@ Marty

It is not possible to move the sidebar without hacking the theme and stylesheet, I have not gotten around doing it yet, but keep an eye out for it on our site.

290. Julia | June 21, 2008 #

Hello! I’m trying to replace my header image. I’ve uploaded the image to the theme’s images folder. The jpg is named “webhead.jpg.” I changed the name in style.css from “head.jpg” to “webhead.jpg,” but the header is just black. I’ve tried uploading other images already in the images file (ie, pencil.gif) and they show up as the header. But new files I’ve added do not.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

291. hso | June 22, 2008 #

@ Julia

That is weird, but remember, there are two stylesheet and images in each of the K2 Redux themes, so look for the stylesheet (and corresponding header image) in themes/3k2redux-klein/styles/twocolumn.

292. Julia | June 22, 2008 #

Arrggh! I just tried that: uploaded the jpg into the /style/twocolumn folder, where I also saw the original “head.jpg.” Changed the file name in style.css here:

#header {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background:url(images/head.jpg) no-repeat #000000;

But still the same problem: the header is all black!

Is there somewhere else I need to upload the file? Change the file name? I’m desperate!

Thank you!

header

293. Julia | June 22, 2008 #

I figured it out. I had to replace the existing “head.jpg” with the new file and name the new file “head.jpg.” I was trying to use a differently named file, change the filename in style.css, but that didn’t work.

So I’m good!

Thanks again.

294. Julia | June 24, 2008 #

Aaaand . . . now I’m not good. I switched back to my original header so I could do some work on the new one. Now, when I upload the new image, it doesn’t change on my site. I’ve tried loading “head.jpg” in every conceivable folder on my server (in my theme folder), and NOTHING works. I’ve even deleted the “head.jpg” from its folder, and I STILL get my old header (instead of a black box). Please help!

Thanks.

295. hso | June 24, 2008 #

@ Julia

Would you be using the WP-Cache or similar caching plugin by any chance? If so, delete all cached files and you should be able to refresh the page. Worst case, delete all images by the name head.jpg and reload the new one.

296. Julia | June 24, 2008 #

Hi, hso. No, I’m not using that plugin or any other cache plugin. (I don’t even know what it is!) And I did try deleting ALL images named head.jpg, and the header stubbornly remains. I even tried the whole procedure on a separate computer. Same results.

What am I doing wrong? It’s got to be so simple!

297. hso | June 24, 2008 #

@ Julia

When I visit themes/3k2redux-klein/3k2redux/images/head.jpg I see the same old header. Change that and it should work.

298. Julia | June 25, 2008 #

Hi, hso.

I’m not sure I understand. You see the same old header when you visit that folder–how are you seeing that? When you say “old header,” do you mean the original (orange and green) header or my current header that I’m trying to replace?

http://idothings.info

And “themes/3k2redux-klein/3k2redux/images is the folder I’ve been trying to upload my new image to. Even after I delete “head.jpg” from that folder, the image is still there.

Thanks for any help!

299. hso | June 25, 2008 #

@ Julia

Do you have more than one copy of the theme on your server?

I simply typed in the full URI of the image and I see the one you added (not the orange one) with the “I Do Stu…” and lines. Email me via contact form if you still can’t solve it.
