your theme is excellent. it’s the nicest and prettiest theme on wp. i have a question though. i really want to disable/disallow comments on the pages, not the posts. how do i go about this? can you recommend a workaround? thank you!

and thanks again for making the theme.

An older version of this theme with the old font can be downloaded here http://bitpress.googlecode.com/files/emptiness-1.12.zip

I’ll prepare version 1.14 which should have the old font.

If you want to hide stuffs on non-page, you can use this piece of code:

… the content you want to hide here

The body left sidebar can be modified in the theme’s index.php file, section .

Other conditional tags (useful when you want to display things on post only, or on front page only, etc) are documented here http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

Thanks for using Emptiness Theme.

Re your questions:

1. I can’t see the right sidebar doubling on this blog post http://stephensimmonsmusic.com/wordpress/?p=65 .What browser are you using? Could you please take a screenshot of this problem and send it to blah@cliffano.com ?

2. If the sidebar content requires more than the header height (281 pixels), then the theme will make the section scrollable so that it doesn’t mess up the header height. However, certain components (like the drop down menu widget that you use) uses more than 281 pixels when the Press menu is expanded, hence the gap between the header and body sections on your site.
I’ve never used any menu widgets myself since my blog only has few pages, but perhaps you can try other menu widgets and see if there’s one that doesn’t mess up the height?
Another option is to reorganize the pages so that you only show the main pages (no child pages) on the header.

Btw, I’ll be away for the next few days, expect slow reply :).

HTH.

two issues i cant figure out:

1: how to make the left sidebar go away on posts (not pages). it doubles the right sidebar on my homepage where ive added a post.

2: i read that the sidebar lengths are just determined by how much info is there? but my top left side bar will never list all of my pages ( i assumed there were too many for widget to display). i even installed a widget for drop down menu….which works ok, but its still not quite right.

any help with these issues would be appreciated ..

thanks a million

I’ve just put up version 1.12 on the wiki download page http://code.google.com/p/bitpress/downloads/list .

This is only temporary, the plan is still to make the latest version of Emptiness Theme available from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes, but that will have to wait until I have the time to fix all the remaining issues that WordPress Theme validator picks up.

Cheers,
Cliff.

thanks for the tip and the theme.

The default seems to display only five blog posts to the right. I have combed all areas and don’t see a place to change that display, unfortunately. Thanks very much for your help. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Do you happen to use a widget to display the recent post links? If so, perhaps the widget has a setting where you can change the number of recent post links.
By default (without widget), the sidebar should be able to display 10 of them.

I have one pesky problem: only a few past post links show up on the right under ‘recent posts’, and I’d like them all to show. I’m goodbonfire.com if you would like to see for yourself. Any ideas? thank you,

Hannah B.

Thank you for raising the issue and for using the theme.

I have something to ask about.

It is by default when we want to reply a comment within this theme, the page reload into uri: …/#respond.

Can we make it just pop up under the comment we would like to reply without reloading the page?

Regards,
Cahya.

Would you be able to try the following:
- Go to your blog admin -> Settings -> Permalinks. On Custom Structure field, change %postname.html% to %postname% . Check if the links are working.
- If it still doesn’t work, try few other themes and check if the problem also occurs on those other themes.

Please let me know how you go with it.

Re moving the link from the left to be below the post, unfortunately you’ll have to modify the theme’s code for that, please have a look at index.php file.
