Nonzero Red LCR: Download | Demo
“Nonzero Red LCR” is a new widget-ready Fluid WordPress template with both left and right sidebars by Headsetoptions.org and MandarinMusing based on design by NodeThirtyThree Design.
Please go to our WordPress Downloads and Support page for any queries or customized web design projects.
@ Staticbrain
Yes, this theme is clean and SEO friendly, you should see all your posts indexed.
This looks like a very good theme. If it was done in a green version, I’d start using it right away.
Is it easy to modify? Could I use the “standard” nonzero stylefile, or is there something in it that applies to the columns that make it impossible?
I found a problem with this theme. There is a border around the emoticons.
Is there an easy fix for this?
@ BeRKA
Green, sure, all you have to do is download the Nonzero Green version of this theme and use the images that comes with it to replace the matching images in this theme.
Also, the border is due to all images being bordered. If you remove that for the emoticon, all image borders will go away!
This theme is great, however it could not run in IE, it works fine on Firefox. Could u fix this problem, please
@ Lamuhu
What seems to be the problem? We did check in IE and FF before release and it worked.
Love this theme, but I have a couple of questions. Any reason why the sidebar widget columns are reversed? 1 - 2 actually displays as 2 - 1 ? The other questions deal with ul lists on the sidebars. The left (2) side bar used to show the bullets in IE7, but they dissapeared recently. I’ve reinstalled the theme, but they haven’t returned. They look fine on the righ (1) sidebar. Also, is there a way to indent a second level bullet, so that all of the bullets do not line up, this is also reguarding the sidebar! Thanks for this great theme, I’ve been trying to match in my Moodle installation…
@ Brian
The numbering is a goof up on our part, if you open leftsidebar.php and rightsidebar.php, you will notice the call for widgets like “…dynamic_sidebar(1)…” that (1) and (2) can be switched to make the order correct, it should change nothing else.
As for the bullets, they should show up if you are using an unordered list, check the code of the sidebar and make sure you have ul followed by li (for each line/list).
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the reply… got the columns straightened out. I’m using widgets on my site, and checked out the leftsidebar.php file, which has the same ul/li lines as the right. It just stopped working in IE, though Firefox shows it as it should be. I’d like to discuss with you about customizing this theme for my site further (paying for your services). Thanks!

I’m getting a fatal error message when I try to instal automattic sidebar widget. They say it isn’t widget-aware. Is there something I can add to make this widget friendly? I like this theme a lot and want to use it. Thanks!
@ Pete
This theme is Widget ready and works with Sidebar Widgets plugin! Can you deactivate all the plugins you have active and try with just the Sidebar Widget plugin active and tell me if it works!
Love the theme! It was installed on my web site by register.com. But the comments don’t appear under the “recent comments” heading. How can I fix this? Also, I can’t find the wp-content directory to upload a plugin.
@ Kotra
You need to activate a plugin called Recent Comment, here’s the plugin, upload it into wp-content/plugins and activate.
As to accessing wp-content, you need to either use FTP or webFTP to be able to view this folder, contact your host if you do not have access to it.
I’m using one version of this theme, but I’d like to know how to let users paginate through the posts. Right now, the only way someone can find a post other than what isn’t on the homepage is to dig through the monthly archives. Some folks like to read back through posts in chronological order.
[...] Zwei Sidebars (Position frei wählbar), 100% Breite, der Content ist fluid, die Sidebars fixed. Die neuen Versionen des Themes sind Widget Ready, das Theme gibt es auf der Seite in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen. Download Download (Widget Ready Version) Live-Demo [...]
@hso
Thanks. I guess I should have clarified that getting the pagination options isn’t so much the issue I’m having rather than getting pagination to work.

all show the same content. I would think this something more to do with the theme than a plugin needed to generate the nav links. Any help is appreciated.
@ Jaushua
You are using a older version that used a query in index.php without a conditional statement to change it in pages 2 and over. I suggest you download the newer version (Nonzero Red Widget) and use it instead.
I have been using your theme for many months, and just now realized a problem. I use FF and all is well there, but when viewed in IE6 or IE7 there appear to be formatting issues. I am running WP 2.3.1.
-In IE6 the text in the center column runs into the right column, making it nearly impossible to read the text.
In IE7, the center column text runs clear to the right hand of the screen and the right column actually moves to the bottom of all post entries.
I had modified some of the css settings and stuff (wanted all black and red) and thought maybe I did something wrong there, so I have actually just downloaded a fresh install from this page and it is doing the same thing. I did disable plugins that I thought might have been messing with the formatting but that didn’t help (I have reenabled them).
I will leave the current (just downloaded) version active for a day or two in case you want to see what I am talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I love this theme and want to continue using it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
@ Michael
That is strange, I ran a test run (from the demo above) on all three browsers and it looks/works fine. If you have replaced the CSS with the original, then the issue is not with the CSS itself, it’s either a plugin (guessing here) or if you have used a HTML code someplace that is actually causing the divs to break.
I want you to test the demo from this page (scroll back up) and tell me if you see the theme broken in IE6 and IE7?
One thing you could try is disable ALL plugins and check, if you are running version 2.3.1 the only difference with this theme is one deprecated tag (which is you are using the latest widgets plugin should not be an issue at all), either way it will not cause the theme to break!
This is really weird. Your test site looks fine in IE 6 and IE 7, but in FF it loads almost as if there is no CSS or something.
I have disabled all the plug ins on my website now and am still having the same issue. The theme I am using is a new install so it is not anything I have done to HTML.
Any other ideas?
Thank you for the quick reply!
Also, the problem on my site, is on individual posts and pages as well as the main page, so it spans more then 1 PHP page.
Well, problem fixed! I don’t know what the issue exactly was but I uploaded a new install of Wordpress and problem solved.
Thank you for your help!
@ Michael
During updates, always overwrite all the files/folders, not just the new ones.
I am glad it got fixed, I fixed the demo weirdness in FF.
Hi, love your theme. Unfortunately, the buttons for “next page” and “previous page” don’t appear under my posts. I have no idea what’s going wrong here, can you help? Thanks, mgr
@ mgr
Refer to this comment.
hi and thanks. unfortunately, this does not bring about the desired effect. I think I’ll need to change something on the single.php, so that users can navigate from a given post to next/previous. any idea?
@ mgr
To navigate from one post to the next in single posts, open single.php and look for this:
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
Add a line between the two lines code to make it look like this:
<?php endwhile; ?>
<p><?php previous_post_link(’« %link’); ?> <?php next_post_link(’// %link »’); ?></p>
<?php else : ?>
That should do it.
hi and thanks again. unfortunately this does not work either. When I paste the code, I get this error message “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /kunden/178742_10249/webseiten/serendipity/wordpress/wp-content/themes/nonzero/single.php on line 38″
Also, I do have a previous/next post code order in my single.php which looks like this, but it does not appear on any of my pages.
I have no idea, why it’s not being displayed.
@ mgr
Please refer to this section of Codex to check if you have added the code as described.

I really like this theme design, but I have one question to ask. I am wanting to upgrade my theme, but I would like to make sure the theme I pick is SEO (search engine optimized). The last few themes I picked before the one I have now when picked up by the engines actually read the sidebars, and the page lists and even the shoutbox. They did not pick up articles and headlines. I have no idea why this is. I just know that it happened. The theme design I have now is SEO friendly, but I am unhappy with it. I prefer three column layouts and it is only two. I want to switch themes, but I need to be a bit more careful in making sure that I choose one optimized for the search engines. So if you could please tell me if your Nonzero Red LCR theme is SEO friendly or not, if you know or have tested it, I would greatly appreciate it.
