Unfortunately there are no theme options for the link colors.

After replacing style.css earlier tonight I couldn’t activate the child theme. Did some finagling and got the child theme activated and now the link colors are changed. Thanks!

Followup question: Is there a way to change the link colors of the sidebars only? I’ve been looking and can’t find anything that looks like code for a separate link color in the sidebar. Do you think making that kind of change is possible?

Thanks again!

It didn’t work. I made the changes but the links are still the blue color.

Thanks for your suggestion, though. This is so frustrating — there is no reason these changes shouldn’t work, yet they’re not. I even deleted the previous style.css child theme and created a brand new one a few minutes ago, then put in the code changes you suggested, and that didn’t work either.

Any thoughts?

I also wanted to mention that on the dashboard, when I go out to the Custom Header page, it SAYS 300 for the height and it shows a header which is 300 px tall, but if I use a 300 px tall image it gets scaled down to 198.

So, this is my last attempt to ask: Does anyone know how to change the header size in Brunelleschi, or is it even possible?

I’m back because the change I made to the header didn’t stick.

As I mentioned above, I changed this in the code:

define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'brunelleschi_header_image_height', 198 ) );

When I changed the 198 to 300 several days ago, it worked. When I went to check on my blog today it was back to 198 and no matter WHAT I change that code to, the image height stays at 198.

Why did it change back? Is there ANYTHING I can do? If someone can help me please, I would very much appreciate it.

EDIT: Thanks David, I think I figured it out. I changed this code:

/* REQUIRED! -- define content width */
if ( ! brunelleschi_option('content-width') ) { $content_width = 960; }
else { $content_width = brunelleschi_option('content-width'); }

/* Disable Based on Settings */
if(brunelleschi_option('use-header-image') || brunelleschi_option('use-featured-content')) {

	/* Define Default Header */
	if ( ! defined( 'HEADER_IMAGE' ) ) { define( 'HEADER_IMAGE', '%s/images/headers/beach.png' ); }

	define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'brunelleschi_header_image_width', $content_width ) );
	define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'brunelleschi_header_image_height', 198 ) );

	register_default_headers( array(
		'beach' => array(
			'url' => '%s/images/headers/beach.png',
			'thumbnail_url' => '%s/images/headers/beach-thumbnail.png',
			'description' => __('Beach', 'brunelleschi')
		),
		'fog' => array(
			'url' => '%s/images/headers/fog.png',
			'thumbnail_url' => '%s/images/headers/fog-thumbnail.png',
			'description' => __('Fog', 'brunelleschi')
		),
		'grass' => array(
			'url' => '%s/images/headers/grass.png',
			'thumbnail_url' => '%s/images/headers/grass-thumbnail.png',
			'description' => __('Grass', 'brunelleschi')
		)
	) );

	/* Add Post Thumbnails */
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

	set_post_thumbnail_size( HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT, true );

	if ( ! function_exists( 'brunelleschi_admin_header_style' ) ) :

		/* Backend Header Style */
		function brunelleschi_admin_header_style() { ?>
			<style type="text/css">
			#headerimg {
				display: block;
				margin: 0 auto;
				margin-bottom: 17px;
				border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
				border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
			}
			</style>
		<?php }
	endif;
	add_custom_image_header( '', 'brunelleschi_admin_header_style' );

}

You’ll see it has the height as 198. I changed the value to 300 in the original functions.php file — my mistake was forgetting the post I quoted in my original post said that it wouldn’t work when doing this in a child theme file, and now it works! Kept a copy of the original functions.php, of course.

But does this mean the header size change will get overwritten any time there is an update?

Can anyone help me with replacing that constant with a literal value? Thanks.

No problem!

I did try the one column and it works fine, but I decided I really wanted a sidebar. Rumput Hijau is really nice but not quite wide enough in the two column size for me.

It’s been about a week and no answer, so I thought (for the sake of anyone looking for info later on and coming across this thread) that I would post a brief update.

The documentation says that the width is flexible, but if it is, I have no idea how to achieve it other than changing those percentages in the css.

Adjusting the width of the content on the left does not open up space for the main column to take.

To make the main column bigger, you have to adjust the percentages of both the main column and the right sidebar, and doing so makes the right sidebar so narrow it’s basically useless.

Oh yes, I have a child theme that I’m editing, and a backup of the unedited theme in case something goes wrong.

You’re right that the theme description makes it sound like there are all sorts of variants in width you can choose from since it says “flexible width,” but I cannot find them at all. I found the place to choose either the one-sidebar or the full-width options, but otherwise nothing. I’d LOVE to use options instead of fussing with the css, but I just CANNOT find those options anywhere.

Do you have any idea where I should look? I’ve been through everything under Appearance in the Dashboard and have found everything BUT how to change the “flexible width.”

Thanks for identifying the code for the item on the left! I haven’t grabbed Firebug yet, only because I was hoping to not have to fiddle with the code at all.

My preference is to have a sidebar, so I do want to make changes. I’m not sure why you’re telling me I shouldn’t.

What I would like to know is if the entire blog (main column and sidebar) can be widened? As of now, I have changed the percentages of the widths to make the main column 600 px wide with the sidebar narrow. That’s okay, but I would like to widen them both, which is why I wanted to know how to increase width on the original one-sidebar layout.

It looks like I might be able to do this if I could make the column on the left smaller. I don’t know what this column is, but it has this info in it:

Is that area adjustable? I cannot find it in the style.css

This is the webpage I’m working on, if you want to see what I’m talking about:

Thanks.

I did that yesterday. Once I did that I had followup questions, but they were deleted for being a “duplicate” of this question. I don’t know why, they weren’t the same question, but anyway…

1. I would like to use Rumput Hijau with a wider main column. Can the default layout (2 column) be modified in width? If so, how? I have gone through style.css and see nothing to indicate the width (which I think is 940 px but I am not sure) in pixels. The width measurements in style.css are in percentages (71.429% for main content, 22.449% for sidebar) — is that the only thing that can be changed?

2. If I cannot get a width I like on the default layout, I would like to use the full page layout without a sidebar. I can create a separate page that is full width, but I cannot figure out how to make the MAIN page full width. How do I do this?

Thank you.

You’re right. It’s my film blog, mostly movie reviews with lots of big promotional photos and screen captures. You can see it now at shebloggedbynight.com, but that’s a custom layout on the Blogger template. I don’t want to keep that layout, although I do want to keep the wide main column and the right sidebar.
