Theme problem

  • Hi

    I am new to wordpress.. I installed it and really like it. I only got one problem:

    the theme i would like to use has a little bug, and my knowledge of css / php isn’t that good (yet)

    the comments/posts appear like they are supposed to, but somehow the info above (I.e Posted by, Category and Comments) is somehow off balance..

    here you can see…

    anybody know where to change what to get it right?

  • Go to your style.css file and change the following:


    .entry div.entrymeta {
    text-decoration: none;
    margin: 0 15px 15px 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: right;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #ab0303;
    }

    To this

    .entrymeta {
    text-decoration: none;
    margin: 0 15px 15px 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: right;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #ab0303;
    }

    This should fix it, however I don’t have Firefox at work so I can’t test it there. But I’m pretty sure it should be cross-browser consistent. Let me know if it works.

    brilliant!!! that did the trick!!!

    However, I’ve got one more question:

    Is it allowed to “borrow” somebody’s template and redo it into your own? Change graphics, colors and so on?

    In general, yep. Just check the theme’s license first.

    ok, I’ll check.

    next issue:

    If i click on comments when I’m not logged in: the error message “You must be logged in to post a comment” seems to be off aswell..

    any ideas there?

    Looking at your source I saw this:

    <h2 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h1>

    Should be:

    <h2 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h2>

    That should fix it. You’ll have to find it in your .php files. It should be in your comments.php file.

    done that, but id didn’t fix the problem, sorry…

    Here is another one:

    <h2 id="comments">One Response to “Hello world!”</h3>

    Should be:

    <h2 id="comments">One Response to “Hello world!”</h2>

    Sorry, but those code lines have nothing to do with the question.
    If the “you must be logged in…” thing appears on your blog – it means YOU did set it up in that way.

    couldn’t find that one..

    well, i think the problem is bigger than we thought. I deleted that blog entry, and now I get the message

    Not found, Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

    this also is moved to the left…

    So I think that everything is moved to the left….

    @ Moshu

    It’s not about the you must be logged in. It is about that all these messages are positioned too far to the left…

    and thus don’t fit in the design

    Sorry, I’ve misread your post.
    That’s just bad design.

    Moshu,

    The problem in question is why the text is aligned too far to the left. Not why it’s there. Please read the questions carefully.

    bbrader,

    Have you edited this theme much yourself?

    Whoops, sorry, double post.

    Actually I tried some stuff, f**ked it up completely and did a fresh install. even dropped my whole database, so really started from scratch. So all the editing I did up to now is what you told me…

    Maybe I should go for another theme then, eh…

    Yeah, that’s what I recommend. It seems like the author of this theme needs to address some bugs and CSS/XHTML issues.

    Here are a couple of themes to check out:
    Hemingway
    Chaotic Soul

    Hemingway has white option, and Kyle Neath (the author) just had a contest for alternate styles of Hemingway. So there should be some more variety coming soon…
