Thanks, Ravi! Looking good — I’m trying it right now at “Almost A Movie.”

I like that you’ve made the S icon easy to remove and given us the option to have the sidebar on all the time.

There was one thing I changed in the past, but now I can’t remember where it was located. The first letter of each post has that bold red font, but I’d like to omit it. Do I look for that code in the CSS or in one of the other template files?
- ravi writes:

  Mike, in fact I thought I had removed it from the style, since even I was somewhat ambivalent about it, but it looks like I did not (remove it). You can make the change by editing style.css (in your Site Admin -> Theme Editor) and removing (at around line 702), the following:
```
  .entry > P:first-child:first-letter
  {
      color: #662222;
      font-size: larger;
  }
  
```

  RIchard, did you go to the Theme Editor and add the necessary sections? If you look at my site, you will see that pages do show up, so it is possible in Ahimsa. Please ping me if you need more help and I will be glad to give further info.
  - ravi writes:

    Correction: its not the Theme Editor but in Admin pages, choose Appearance -> Widgets.

  Richard, on second thought, perhaps I have misunderstood your issue. What do you mean by “nav bar”? I was thinking of the sidebar, but perhaps you are speaking of something else?

  Shaun, you will probably find WP plugins that can accomplish what you want, and which should work with most templates/themes. Themes that support widgets (a requirement for any new theme) are probably a safer bet. I haven’t done any work with ads so I am afraid I don’t know what is involved, but if you have more specific questions I can still try to take a shot at answering them.
  - Shaun writes:

    Ravi, thank you. Can I safely assume Ahimsa supports such widgets?
    - ravi writes:

      Shaun, I can think of no reason why it won’t work in Ahimsa. I believe I am fully widget compliant in my code. If you try some paid ads widget or plugin and it doesnt work, feel free to ping me for help.

I loved this theme, it was so easy to modify the colours to something else, but unfortunately friends who used Opera couldn’t even render some pages so it’s been removed.

Good job anyway though. :)
- ravi writes:
  January 25th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
  
  What version of Opera are they using? In Opera 9.63 I am seeing little issues other than that there are no rounded borders and there is an annoying tan coloured bar at the top of the comments section with a “Reply” link in it, that is confusing.
  - SCdF writes:
    February 24th, 2009 at 4:20 am
    
    I have similar issues in Opera– specifically Opera 9.63 in Windows and Linux. The lack of rounded corners is fine, but it does not correctly render comments at all.
    
    Check out the following two pictures depicting the same blog post at the same time:
    – http://mylittlepwnage.com/misc/blogTheme/Firefox.png (Firefox 3.06 Linux)
    – http://mylittlepwnage.com/misc/blogTheme/Opera.png (Opera 9.63 2474 Linux)
    
    The whole comment section doesn’t seem to render correctly. Also, if you don’t have threading comments it’s a little odd to have the outer part of the reply button but without the actual word ‘reply’.. prehaps the entire button should go.
    - ravi writes:
      March 6th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
      
      SCdF, thank you for taking the trouble to attach the screenshots. I hope to have a new release of the theme up next week which should address many of these issues. The blank Reply button is annoying indeed (and this blank capsule appears in a few other places too). I will include fixes for it next week.
Mark writes:
January 25th, 2009 at 1:31 pm

When the sidebar is closed (fadeSidebar js function initiated), the main content is a couple of pixels indented to the right – which takes away from the rounded corners effect in the browsers that support it. I’ve been trying to modify both the js and the css, but without any luck. Any suggestions?
- ravi writes:
  January 25th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
  
  Mark, I spent quite some time ironing out that issue so I am surprised it still shows up… can you show me some site or page where this happens? What browser are you using (and version)? I cannot reproduce the effect, so any info from you would be very useful. Thank you.

  Please be sure to add the details to your request, and I can see if I can implement it.
Crystal writes:

I was actually just talking about the main content area or at least I think that is what I am talking about. Basically I would just like the dark gray, white line, and the green in the far background to expand and contract when you adjust your browser window and not the actual text.
- ravi writes:
  February 11th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
  
  Crystal,
  
  okay, so we are indeed speaking of the same thing. You want the main content area to have a static size. That’s possible… if you haven’t given up on the theme, can you contact me via email (code (at symbol) ahren (dot) org) and I can give you some small code changes you can make to the theme using the editor, to implement the change you want.

Forgive my ignorance, being a newbie to Wp, but I want to display PAGES in my sidebar as you have done on this site.
How do I do that.
Also the Calendar you have – I would like that.
Please tell me how to do it – I know it requires editing in theme editor but I don’t know which file to edit or what code to put!

Thanks

  Radheshyam,
  
  go to your Admin pages and choose Appearance -> Widgets option. You can then drag in the Pages and Calendar widgets from the left to the current selections on the right. You then have to click on “Save Changes” at the bottom of the list on the right. That should do it.
  
  I will try to post some screenshots next week.

  Aditya, I think someone already pointed this out in the comments, but let me add: go to the Admin section of your blog and choose Settings -> Discussion (this is in WP2.7 — if you have 2.6 or older, let me know). Then enable the checkbox for “Enable threaded comments”.

I choose to “Hide Sidebar by default in Main/Home page” and “Hide Sidebar by default in posts and pages”, but when I open the site, the sidebar just appears and then fade away. I’m wondering if we can make it just “invisiable”, not a fade-away style.

Thanks
- ravi writes:
  February 11th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
  
  Otto,
  
  a later version of the theme will let you upload and use an image banner. For now, in order to achieve this, you need to first upload the image somewhere, then edit the theme (either directly in the theme directory, or using the admin pages: Appearance -> Editor). Then you can modify Header (header.php) and add in an HTML “img” tag in the header, pointing to your image. If you need help, please ping me via email to code (at symbol) ahren (dot) org.

one more question: when I install this theme i always get the name of my blog stacked on the left, ie each word on one line. i notice here that the words “ahren code” are next to each other, not stacked..how do i do that on my blog? thanks
- ravi writes:
  February 11th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
  
  Otto,
  
  in order to prevent the word wrap, in my blog configuration, I set the title to be:
  
  Ahren Code
  
  The “ ” is HTML speak for “no break space”. This prevents the browser from deciding to break the line at that point, when it makes its rendering decisions.
  
  Try it out and let me know if it doesn’t work for you!

- ravi writes:
  February 11th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
  
  E.B, they can be modified, but in order to do that you have to edit the stylesheet. If you go to the Admin pages for your blog and choose Appearance -> Editor (this is WP2.7, for 2.6 or earlier you have to go to Themes -> Theme Editor, I think), you can then select the Stylesheet (style.css) and start hacking around with the colours. I am afraid I have not consolidated the colour scheme into the smallest set of entries, in the stylesheet. That will happen in Ahimsa 2.2 which will also include a few alternate colour combinations, as well as giving you the ability to set some of the colours to any colour of your choice.

  Fernando, sorry my knowledge of Spanish[?] is close to zero. I think you want to translate the theme text into Spanish? If so, there is unfortunately not one single file that you have to change. You have to change, at least, single.php, index.php and page.php. Additionally, if you want the header and footer bars also in Spanish, then you have to edit header.php and footer.php.

I definitely love your theme, but I’m having trouble with the comments, I have already enabled threaded comments but no comment at all appears in the single page. It can see how many responses exist, but it only displays those who were added AFTER I changed the theme…. editing any old comment doesn’t help either…

I’m using WP 2.7 selfpublished… and I’m also a Spanish user, if I figure how to fix the comments problem, I will translate the theme to Spanish.

Para Fernando López, estoy tratando de publicar el tema en español, tan pronto como pueda, lo haré disponible.

Hi Ravi

I really like your design, it is very elegant and colourful, and would love to use it. Big problem is IE. Are you managing to iron out the bugs, and will it be IE compatable soon?
- ravi writes:
  March 6th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
  
  Ged, I am trying to both make the theme presentable on IE7/8 and perhaps even IE6. However the rounded corners will not happen in IE since IE does not support any form of the CSS3 border-radius property :-(. At a later stage, I might use images to render the rounded corners, but that would be a sad backward step…
bernddasbrot writes:

Great theme with lots of potential!

I can only second some of the request made in the bugtracker for really flexible theme. Especially thse two would make a huge difference and turn into an all-purpose theme:
- option to have the sidebar on the right OR left
- various color schemes (incl. self-defined ones)

Hope we’ll see this implemented soon!
- ravi writes:
  March 6th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
  
  The custom colour schemes is definitely coming in a couple of weeks (Ahimsa 2.2)… the choice of sidebar position (left or right) might also make it in, but that’s a bit tougher, and I don’t want to promise that for 2.2.

      Abishai, I think you mean the missing span tag? Actually, in this version, I decided to not do those capsules for the tags… because I found them a little too overwhelming. So, what I really need to do is remove the closing span tag! ;-) Do you disagree? Do you think the tags should be in capsules? I personally prefer the simpler comma separated version in this release.

To fix the problem with the first comment, look for this in “comments.php”:

Delete it and save the document.

En español, busca el texto de arriba en “comments.php”, guarda de nuevo el documento y se acabo el problema del primer comentario en la pagina del articulo.

Ok, can’t show code.
Delete line 28 to 32 in “comments.php” and save it

  Can someone give me the quick php to do an ifelse around lines 28-32 in the comments.php file? Basically I want to skip those lines of code if the browser is IE. thanks!

    Orin, those lines are just comments. You can safely remove them. I did not terminate the comment properly which is why IE was messed up. Firefox/Safari are more forgiving!

Hi Ravi,

I’m using your theme on my WP blog, however the fluid width feature doesn’t seem to be working quite right. It works perfectly fine for me on this blog, but on mine, it doesn’t fully reduce to the width of the window when I unmaximize or change the width of the physical window. Can you help point me at the right place to look to fix this?

Cheers,
Robert

  Hi Ravi,
  
  Disregard. I failed to look at the actual content and noticed a very wide image. The code itself is perfectly fine.
  
  I’m feeling a little like a bit of an idiot.
  
  Anyway, love the theme!
  
  Cheers,
  Robert

Hi Ravi,

The themes do not support IE, there is a blank shown in the top of IE .

  Kalley, yes I think this is an issue with IE6. Are you using IE7 or 8? If so, then its much worse. I am working at this problem this weekend and I should have something up, hopefully, next week.

Hi Ravi,
yet another WP virgin, but I managed to install Ahimsa in minutes – it’s excellent, thanks.

In response to previous posts re: ‘ads’, Google AdSense works perfectly with your theme – even managed to colour code the ads to match at: worcestershirewebdesign.co.uk/blog

Tested my Ahimsa in 4 browsers and no issues with Firefox, Safari or Chrome – just wish I.E.7 was as good as them at doing it’s job…

thanks again.

Ravi,Thank you for your attention. IE7 or IE8, I have not tried, but at a lot of people still using IE6, and I hope the best of CSS compatible with IE6. Finally, or thank you very much for bring us such a beautiful template.
Yours kalley

  Kalley, supporting IE6 is quite difficult (if you don’t believe me, see http://bit.ly/Qv0YE). However, in an update I hope to put out today or tomorrow, I will have better support for IE7/8, and some improvements for rendering in IE6. Please check it out and let me know what remnant issues you see.

Ok.. I’ve writte you before about this.
It bothers me that in this section… the reply/comment section above the “name” entry box is overlaped by the “Leave a Reply” lable.

can you do anything about this so that it does not overlap?

  Dave, I think I have this fixed now (I am assuming you noticed this problem in IE?) and will have a release tonight or tomorrow.

I am having the width issue that is discussed. Your page loads fine and the width adjusts, mine doesn’t. Using Firefox3.

  Nancy can you give me a URL where I can see your problem, or can you describe it in more detail? Thank you.
