OptionsTree (V2) Redux With Widgets!
I have had the most issues with my first hack at Tree with the “themetoolkit.php space break” issue and “header already sent” error! Not anymore.
I reworked the theme eliminating all the original files and starting with just the stylesheet. This theme is “widgets” ready and no longer uses the themetoolkit file!
I know there have been multiple requests for this both on my site and elsewhere, so I hope this will help those who have stayed with the older version. In fact I must thank them for getting me to go this route!
Here are some useful links: Test Run | Download
Note: This also means I would get the Orange theme upgraded soon!
Thanks…. Tree V3 is working ?
Pazzo.

Hey, I’m using the great theme you’ve created. But for some reason, my blockquotes won’t do paragraphs. Do you know why?
Thanks!

Open style.php, change:

I noticed you are using Tree! Tree V2 is a new version with Wdigets, give it a try if you like, but do the changes to the blockquote anyways.

My bad, it is style.css

hso,
I tried using Tree V2. It loads faster than the original, and I like the Wdigets.
But the sidebar in V2 doesn’t have a blogroll, synopsis, or previous entries.
Also, there isn’t a “tree options” page in the Wordpress “presentation” section.
Is there an easy way to get the sidebar from version 1 into version 2?
Also, I noticed that the “split post with More tag” makes all of the “more” section bold typeface.

For the isdebar, use Widgets to add the missing elements, that is why I changed it to begin with. Also, there is no options page as it was one of the reasons for the many bugs the earlier theme had. For the split post, I will check and get back.

I love your theme. I’m just wondering how I can add the flickr.com picture on mky sidebar like the old version of tree theme. If that can be done, I would be so happy!!

Hi,
I have been using the old tree theme and want to change to the new version. In the old one, I had issues in IE with the sidebar appearing at the bottom of the page. It looks like it is because my images are too wide, but I can’t seem to find anything to tell me what width to use. None of my images are over 400 pixels wide.
From this article it sounds like an issue with the theme design:
http://andy.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/defective-themes-image-width/
I would like to avoid this with the new version. Can you tell me what width to use, or if this was fixed in the new version?
Thank you. I love the design of this theme.

@ Martha
The problem is neither with your images nor the original theme, and I looked at your site and I still can’t tell why it appears the way it does. Anyway, the new version has a main content width of 458px with 5px margin, 5px padding on each side of the image (so max image width can be 438px). Hope this info helps!
February 17th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Thank you. I will try switching over and see if that helps. The article I mention above also says that it doesn’t have to be the image width -if the text area is too large it will cause this as well. I haven’t changed the text area width knowingly, but maybe this is the cause?
On another note, I noticed in the new version that the left margin of text doesn’t line up with the left margin of the images. Is this the padding you mentioned? Can I get rid of the padding so they line up?
Thanks again.

Hello,
I’m having problems editing ur theme, i mean font size of post title. I tried modifying the font-size of h3 and didn’t make it bigger, looks like it’s taking the style from someplace else. Can someone tell me where can i modify the font size of the post title?..and what else changes together with it? Thanks!

@ vusi666
Did you change the font size here:
font: 16px to whatever size you wanted?

Hello hso
My apologies for what I’m sure is a vry basic question!
We want to alert article directories, and others, when a new posting has been made on consultuk.com
we realise that Technorati + the auto RSS Feeds (we think?) are doing this ~ but we have many other directories and sites that are asking for the RSS Feed detail (code? address?) ~
Can you please advise us as to what we should be sending them?
I can find some code/detail “below” the RSS icons, but I’m not sure if I’m finding the right information.
As always, if you can help ~ many, many, thanks !

@ CJ Williams
Not sure if I quite get what you are asking for, but if you want to simply alert multiple directories, try a service like ping-o-matic, you can have WordPress do it for you. Once you ping using ping-o-matic, it will direct you to add a piece of code in your WP.
March 21st, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Hello hso - thanks for your reply - sorry I’m not explaining it very well ….
what I’m after is, in a way, the opposite of a “ping-o-matic” link
separately from the WP blog (consultuk.com) I am sending the same articles to directories which are not on the ping-o-matice and technorati lists
I want to be able to send (in an email, or when submitting an article to them by hand) information or code, to these directories, so that they can then link up with the RSS Feed(s) on http://www.consultuk.com
(rather than ask them to individually go to the site and then link up - because some won’t do this)
then, each time I put a new article on http://www.consultuk.com, these (additional) directories will be pinged
hope that makes sense ! CJ

@ CJ
1) If the user who is accessing your RSS has a reader, it should automatically update the content as it refreshes on your site.
2) Your directories should not rely on a post per post feed, they should try using something like FeedBurner if their current site has o feed reader.
3) If #1 and #2 us not the answer, I probably still do not get the question right!

Hello hso
I’m trying to remove the “Comments” facility, entirely (only receiving viagra and porn links!)
but can’t see how to do this ~ be grateful if you could explain how to
Many thanks ~ CJ

@ cjwilliams
Open single.php and look for these 3 lines within < and >
div class=”commentform”
?php comments_template(); ?
/div
Delete or comment them out and you should be good to go!

I really like this theme, it is simple and neat. I’m trying to have the number of catagories follow the catagory listing. When I modify the entry in sidebar.php to:
wp_list_cats(’optioncount=1′);
I get the number of posts in the catagory below the catagory name, not to the right of it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nate

@ Nate
Open style.css and look for this code:
#menu ul li a {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
Change it to this:
#menu ul li a {
display: inline;
width: 100%;
}
Changing the display from “block” to “inline” will put the number right next to the categories, however, ensure that this is a line break (usually by placing the code within a UL or OL) between two categories.

Headsetop,
Thank you very much. That worked like a charm. And thanks for not commenting on my poor spelling of category in the previous post.

Hello hso ~ hope all is well with you.
I am trying to make changes, insert, “keywords” into the blog ~ as we do in our other websites ~ but can’t make sense of the Wordpress advice, and can’t see how to do it in the Tree template ~ can you help?
We would like to put in keywords that are relevant to our site ….eg. “distance learning” “management courses” etc, etc, but can’t see how / where to do this ….
if you can help ~ many thanks !! CJ

Hello hso
please ignore my last question …. sent my original question (correctly) to Tree V1 and then checked for your response in V2 - my mistake CJ

[...] Tema konusunda da bir değişikliğe gittim ve ziyaretçiler tarafından çok beğenilen Tree isimli temadan vazgeçtim. Bundan sonra bu temayı kullanacağım. Böylelikle hem önceki temada karşılaştığım birtakım teknik sorunları da aştım hem de siteme yeni bir görünüm kazandırmış oldum. Kısa bir süre içinde de yeni eklentilerle siteyi zenginleştirmeyi düşünüyorum. Tek sorun şu ki önceki temayı kendim Türkçeleştirmiştim, bu temayı Türkçeleştirmek için zaman bulabilir miyim bilmiyorum. [...]

I love this theme (tree v-2), however, I am missing at the bottom of the page a “next page” or “previous page” option? Can you no longer scroll through pages in tree v-2?
Thanks for your help

Thank you! I have one more question. In Firefox the layout looks perfect but in IE, the sidebar is pushed below the posts. Is there something I can do so it looks right in both browsers? Thanks, again!
