Took me long enough to name it, but it finally has come out for public use. I call it aslampHC, High Contrast. I know, very original, but it’s what it says. There might be a few errors here and there, if there are, let me know, and I’ll fix them and release another version. I started with Derek’s Foliage, and just kept modifying it until I liked it. Just extract the files onto your desktop, or any folder, then upload to your /wp-conent/themes/ folder.
I’m testing out the 2-column version for my art blog but I’ve run into a problem.
In single post view, whenever a large image appears near the end of the post it overlaps the footer. It doesn’t affect all image posts, just cases where the end of the image extends past the length of the sidebar. The footer floats just below the sidebar in this case, as if there was not enough content to push it downward. This problem appears in Firefox but everything works correctly in IE.
Any suggestions?
I took out a div closing tag in single.php, that seems to have fixed it.
Kelly,
Glad you got it working. Not sure exactly what the problem was, but I’m glad you corrected it.
Hi Nathan,
I like the look and have been trying it out. When you use widgets in the sidebar, there is an annoying bullet point that shows up at the level. Do you have a suggested fix?
Hi,
I am jsut strating with the Rockin minimal 3 column–I changed the background color, and I’m finding in FF, if the sidebars are longer than the posts, that the container color only goes to the bottom of the posts, not the sidebars–so bottom of sidebars are against the background color, not container color. Does that make sense?
My other question is if it is possible to have the number of items that are displayed in the archive view be different than the number of items in the page views.
For example, I’d like to have one or two posts on a page, but if you select a category or archived month, I’d like to be able to have about 10 items displayed.
Thanks in advance!
Yokum,
Sorry about that. What you’ll need to do is change the following:
#l_sidebar ul li {
}
to this:
#l_sidebar ul li {
list-style-type: none;
}
That should remover the bullet.

Cardin,
Sorry, but we currently only do custom requests through our custom request form. If you would like to have some custom work done to the theme, please fill one out and we’ll get back to you with a quote.

Which is the custom request, wanting to have a trackback URL show up or wanting to change the number of items that appear in archive view?
Ooops,
I made a mistake, my actual question is, what is custom–wanting the theme to work the same in FF and IE, or changing the number of items viewed in the archive view?
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the suggestion. I made the change, but the bullet point still shows up when I use widgets. Any additional thoughts?
Cardin,
Changing the number of items in the archive view is a custom request. It requires extra WP coding to circumvent the default.
For the FF issue, send me a link and I’ll take a look.
Nathan
Yokum,
Can you please send me a link to your site?

Hi Nathan,

You can click on my name in the comment, I believe to get to the site. I’ve turned off the widgets since I don’t like the way it looks. The bullet point will show up at the h2 level
Hey, awesome theme. For some reason, however, I cannot edit the widgets in the right hand sidebar (3 column version). Any reason for this?
I am having the same problem as Stefano. I can only alter the left widget in the widgets tab. I, too, am using the three column version.
I am totally in love with this theme, hope you can help!
Okay! I discovered the problem!
The l_sidebar.php and r_sidebar.php should read:
The functions.php should read:
That will cause the right sidebar to show up.
Sorry to flood you with comments, but I too am experiencing the bullets on each widget. Any solution yet?
