A WordPress theme built on WP Framework. With features like microformats, a traditional template structure, clean semantic code and atomic templating system. The theme utilizes XHTML 1.0 Transitional HTML 5 and CSS level 3.
RedLine is released under GNU General Public License version 2.
Installation
Extract the archive and Upload the /RedLine/ folder into your ‘wp-content/themes’ directory.
- Login to your WordPress Admin and navigate to the Apperance Tab.
- Select RedLine theme and Activate it.
- That’s it!
Instructions
- Now this theme supports custom header image.
edit 17 may 2010 If you don’t like plain white header, you may change the look easily. All you need to do is to upload appropriate picture into images folder (the_theme> library> media> images). Default requirements are – size:.960x85px name:header.jpg
Dropcap is described in CSS but you have to apply class="dropcap" manually.
See the example with Lorem ipsum
<span class="dropcap">L</span>orem ipsum dolor

IE6 issue
RedLine is built according CSS 3 specifications and because of this Internet Explorer 6 doesn’t render the theme correctly. Making RedLine compatible with IE6 means to undergrade it so I’m not intend to do this. But there is a solution – check the Nathan Rice’s explanation and follow his advices (in brief: you can force WordPress to serve default theme /Kubrick/ for IE6 users).
Edit 22 oct 2009
The Problem is Solved – I found a solution about this and I hope since version 0.2.6 the menus will appear correctly under IE6.
Thanks for your wonderful theme. Here is how I used it: http://www.effectivediettips.com
I will probably do more tweeking at a later time.
Thanks again!
It looks good. And you may call it ‘BlueLine’ yet.
Blue Line is good
I love this theme more and more. Thanks again.

Thanks for the themes, these themes are amazing and I’ve made some changes on this theme (please check my site) and I intend to add a sidebar on the left sidebar themes as existing on the right side. How do I do? Please help. Thank you.
Looks very neat. Good work!
Putting sidebar in left is possible but not so easy to make, unless you are experienced WordPress user.
The structure of Redline theme is as follows
content primary (main content aria) secondary (sidebars aria) sidebar-top sidebar-left sidebar-right footerSo if you want a sidebar on left, you need to make appropriate template and implement it before
primary div.Congratulations on this Theme. It is really really nice.
If it cannot display the sidebar correctly in the latest version of Firefox what is wrong?
can you look at this http://www.agora-dialogue.com using Firefox and answer me please?
I have sent you another message but don’t know if you will get it.
Thank you again
Извините, но тема просто ужасная
I really like the theme. I have used it here: http://www.salesianlaymissioners.org/home. One thing I want to do is to put the date next to the „Recent Posts“ so that people can see when they were added. Any easy way to do this?
Thanks!

Thanks.
About your question: you need to edit core wordpress files to enable this feature. It can’t be done with theme itself.
I have your theme for WordPress 3.0, but when I tried to open yesterday, here is the message I got: Call to a member function add_rewrite_tag() on a non-object in /home/ellish42/public_html/raisingchristianmen.com/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 289
Can you help me?
Thank you,

Oh, it looks like bug in core WordPress.
All themes’ files by default are stored in wp-content folder not in wp-includes. Try with another theme, if the problem persists – reinstall the core WordPress (version 3.0.1 is most recent at the moment).
Hi !
Thanks for this beautiful theme !
I have just 1 question : I’d like to increase the height’s logo (in the header) but I don’t find where to change the dimensions …
I have sent a new header.jpg (120px heigh) but it doesn’t change anuthing on my blog.
Can you help me please ?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for choosing my design
To change the header width you have to edit file functions.php a little. It is in theme’s folder > library > functions > functions.php
At the top you’ll see the parameter
define('HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', 85);, change 85 to 120 (as you want) and that’s it.Thank you very much for your answer !!!!
Everything works fine !!

Great theme, thank you. However, when I make a child theme (with no changes to the original theme) the sub-menu items in the primary menu do not display properly. They are being displayed with the 20em width specified in the style.css file. In the original theme I think the width of the block is being calculated somehow, as the 20em is being overridden.
How can I get the child theme to automatically calculate the width of the list items based on the width of the largest item? Thank you.
Dropdown menu needs superfish.js and screen.js to work, check if you have them in /library/media/js or you can ‘play’ with settings in screen.js. At the top you’ll find the default parameters of the menu
minWidth: 9, // requires em unit.maxWidth: 25, // requires em unit.
extraWidth: 1
Thanks. The problem was that the child theme was looking for the javascript files in the /wp-content/themes/redline-child/js directory, which didn’t exist. I had to edit the environment() method in the framework.php file of the original (parent) theme, in /wp-content/themes/redline/library. I modified the paths used in the CSS, IMAGES, and MEDIA variables to point to the correct path. That’s probably not the best way to fix it but now everything is working!

I upgraded and now the Categories / Pages and Tags are on the bottom of the 1st page.
but the sub pages all look good
It appears only on first page, older pages are OK like Page 2 and Page 3
At first page the last two articles cause this problem – they somehow are placed outside the main frame (may be your previous skin have had other structure). Try by editing them to fix this, or look if they are assigned as ‘important’, if they have special tag or something like that. If it don’t help, try to republish them and delete this two.
