Glenn, apologies for delays in getting you a version that does not use scandir(). I will work on that tomorrow and email you a modified file.

Hello Tomas, do you mean the box that appears on the right of posts/pages with links for Comments Feed and other actions? If so, do you want to remove the entire box?

Hello Federico,

Thank you for your very kind praise. It is much appreciated. To answer your questions:

1. If you mean the small images that is displayed in the URL bar on the left (typically), then that's done using what's called a 'favicon'. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon. If that is indeed what you are looking to do, and you need help with it, please let me know.

2. You need to edit the theme. You can do that by going to your WordPress Dashboard and navigating to Appearance -> Editor. Then you should edit the stylesheet (style.css) and find the section for "#header" and replace "background-color" with a colour of your choice.

3. You can create as many colour schemes as you wish. There is no restriction in the theme on the number of colour schemes. Do you see some particular error right now when you try to create a new scheme?

4. If you don't mind waiting till the next version of the theme, it will have better support for internationalisation. At that time, a lot of the theme text can be translated using an existing language file or by creating a new one. Right now, you will have to hack into all the theme files to achieve this, which is a messy affair and will get lost when you upgrade the theme to a newer version.

Thank you again for your very kind comments.

Richard, I am not sure I understand what you mean by "navigation column". Can you explain? Thank you.

Todd, its an idea I have considered myself, and I think it’s a good one (perhaps also IntenseDebate given that ID is owned by Automattic now!). My big problem is to setup Disqus or ID on a blog so I can start styling the theme for them. I don't want to enable either of them on my blog, so I would need a separate test blog for this purpose. Unless you want to be my guinea pig! ;-)

Dave, thank you! Glad I could help you.

ravi replied on November 03, 2009 03:25 to the question "Two formatting questions" in Ahren Code:

Hello Dave,

you can edit the stylesheet and add a style for H2, such as the below:


H2
{
line-height: 160%;
}


For more on the line-height property, see: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_dim_l....

Hello Dave, you can edit the stylesheet and disable display of those boxes. That's one way, though of course that means you will lose the display of those links/text. Here's how to do that. At the end of your stylesheet add:


.nocomments,
#postaction
{
display: none !important;
}


ravi replied on October 21, 2009 19:05 to the question "How can I get a blank page" in Ahren Code:

Getting rid of the "Comments are Closed" message is easy: you can either edit the stylesheet and add the following towards the end:


.nocomments
{
display: none !important;
}


Or edit comments.php and scroll down to the section that includes the text "Comments are closed" and remove this chunk of code:


else : // comments are closed ?>
<!-- If comments are closed. -->
Comments are closed






Getting rid of the orange box with the links for "Edit Entry", "Comments Feed", etc, is a bit more of an issue. That's because you probably don't want to just remove these but want to move them elsewhere, yes? Otherwise you will lose some of those links. If you really do not care for those links, let me know and I can give you changes similar to the above to remove that box.

ravi replied on October 15, 2009 02:00 to the question "hels with sidebar please" in Ahren Code:

John,

you need to look in header.php in the case of Ahimsa. Also the call above (include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php')) is for older versions of WP. Widget capable themes (for 2.7 WP or later) instead include instead a call to "get_sidebar". Look around like 181 in header.php for Ahimsa.

If you are going to try to add a right sidebar, then the best thing to do is to add another table cell similar to the one you see defined ("id=sidebar") after the content cell (id="content").

ravi replied on October 14, 2009 14:31 to the question "hels with sidebar please" in Ahren Code:

Hello, those instructions are essentially what needs to be done by any theme developer who wants to support more sidebars. They will sort of work for my theme (in fact something along those lines is what I am working on right now, for the next release of Ahimsa), except:

* you have to know where and how to add the additional sidebar
* add the hide/show functionality of Ahimsa to the new sidebar
* add the Sidebar tab

The last two steps make it more complicated, but they are not absolutely essential if you do not plan to support hide/show of the second/right sidebar.

If you can hold on for another 2-3 weeks you can just upgrade to the next version of Ahimsa which will support left and right sidebars.
