I am using the redline theme but only have the option to have all pages with 3 columns. I would like to have some pages without the side columns. Is that possible?
I’m sorry for the late answer, I was away from Internet for few days.
- No, it can’t be done by some tweak or other “easy way”, to do that you have to edit the template structure if the theme

Hi Peter
1) The link to previous comments is at te top of the comments area
http://post-scriptum.info/redline-theme/comment-page-11/#comments
2) Open Admin panel > Appearance > Editor > style.css and find this selector
/* Document Body */ body, input, textarea { font: 0.81em/1.62 Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333; background: url(library/media/images/brushedmetal.png) #C2C2C2; }Make your changes and save the file. You are done with fonts.
Julian,

Exploit: Input passed via the “s” parameter to index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s browser session in context of an affected site.
Thank you for the report. Yes, I know that and it’s already fixed in versions after 0.70.
This is just another example why user have to keep their software updated
Hi,
Redline theme is great! Please check out my website: http://www.ryansingleton.com.
Is there a way for me to remove the side bar for this theme on all of my pages except the page titled “Portfolio,” which is my blog?
Thanks so much!
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Good site
No, the sidebar cannot be removed – the design structure is such. But you can go to Admin panel > Appearance > Widgets and customize the look and the content of the sidebar. If you don’t want some of sidebar areas just put an empty text widget in it and it will disappear.
Thanks for this! I really appreciate your positive feedback and help. I’ve been having trouble with widgets, though. When I go into Admin panel > Appearance > Widgets, the instructions say I can drag widgets from a main menu to a side bar at the right; however, there is no side bar at the right. Consequently, I can’t add any new widgets or edit the existing ones on my site (i.e. Tags, Pages, and Site Admin). What are your thoughts about this?
Thanks again and be well,
Ryan
Hmmm.. I think it’s a some browser issue or you’re using narrow monitor and the sidebar goes bellow other content.
Look how I see the Admin panel from this website on my monitor.
Keep me informed
This is all interesting stuff. In the image you posted, I noticed that you have a top side bar, right side bar, left side bar, and bottom side bar. I don’t have these available under my Appearance>Widgets page; however, I do have access to the HTML code under Appearance>Editor, and all of these categories are available to me. Is there anything I can do to the code to make these categories visible under the Appearance>Widgets menu? I don’t have a lot of education/experience in computers; however, I’m willing to give it a shot!
Thanks for all of your time and work on this issue.
Be well,
Ryan
@Ryan
Hmm, Widgets are the core WordPress function. What WP version you are using? The current is 3.2.1
Hey, I came across your theme and was wondering if there was a way to change the sidebar background color? Nice theme! Thanks!
Sorry for the late answer.
Yes, there is a way to change it. Go to Admin panel > Appearance > Editor and open style.css, ther find the selector
#secondaryand change the colorHow to edit the categories below the header on this theme? In my website i have 3 lines of categores but i would like to choose the categores to be shown there. how to do that?
Go to Admin Panel > Appearance > Menus, create a menu with the content you desire and assign it as a Secondary (if you want to be under the header) or as Primary (if you want to be above the header image).
Save the changes and you are done.
Hi -
The visited links don’t change color! I changed every “a:visited” in the links section of style.css, but there was no change in their appearance. What can I do?
It’s in style.css row 197:
.entry-content a:visited { color: #9D724F; }Thank you. I changed that color, but didn’t notice any difference to the visited links. ???
In the articles or in the sidebars? Because currently only visited links in articles change their color. If you want the same for sidebars you should add a new css selector in style.css
Like so:
#secondary a:visited { color: #9D724F; }http://floridasoundmoney.com
Hi, my titles aren’t underlined. What can I do to fix this?
It’s because the articles are published as pages not as posts. Single pages have slightly different layout in order to be distinguished from posts.
This fixed it:
h2.entry-title { border-bottom: 2px solid #92000A; }

Thanks for a style sheet that’s so well-organized!
Hi, i made a question here before about Redline for wordpress and you answered. Thanks for that.
Now, one other question:
- On IE, even though i use a header image, it still shows the blog title on top of the header image. How to remove that?
- And also, one of my categories are being shown on the page title,up on the browser top bar. Right before the blog title, and description. How to fix that?
Max, I did this to my header.php, to fix the I.E header problem:
<!– Prevent display of blog title over header image
<a href="” rel=”home”>
–>
Well, not all of what I pasted in here is showing, so I beter just wait for the boss to tell yo!
Oh
I’m sorry about that. WP has very limited support for posting code in comments. Sometimes it’s difficult for myself to publish certain type of code here.
Ahh this IE…
In admin panel > appearance > editor open style.css go to line 85 (it’s in /* Logo */ section)
#blog_header, #blog_header athere add the following:
If in the future you decide the title be visible, you will have to delete this.
As far as the second question, I suppose it’s a bug of some plugins you use.
