Black-Letterhead 1.1
I just updated the Black-Letterhead theme (you are looking at it) to version 1.1. I’m making it available to anyone interested in using it with their WordPress installation. To learn more about the theme, visit the Black-Letterhead pages.
I was wondering if you can help me use the Black-Letterhead template on my site. I want to add the sidebar to the comments template but can’t seem to figure it out.
Help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Glenn
Glenn,
No problem. I’m assuming you would like the sidebar to show up when you’re viewing a single post which includes comments. The file you will need to edit is ’single.php.’ First, you will need to change ‘widecolumn’ to ‘narrowcolumn.’ Next, you need to add the sidebar and footer php functions at the end of ’single.php’ similar to index.php.
I have one question if you have the time: I’m using your nifty theme here, and I just want to move the sidebar from the right to the left. I’m very new with wordpress, but is it possible?
Leeroy,
Hey, anything is possible. It involves flipping the values of the #sidebar and .narrowcolumn in CSS. If you’re not familiar with CSS, then it can get a bit complicated sometimes. Also, it involves moving the sidebar function on several template files ahead of the content. This means placing the sidebar function after the header instead of being next to the footer section. If I have some extra time in the future, I can work on it. I actually have never done it before, but I know it’s possible. I hope this gives you an idea how to get started. If not, then just look for a future update.
