There is some incompatibility in the header with the WP 2.6.3

Nice Theme, very nice, good work and thx for share. The incompatibility is probably a problem with different language files?! With the original english version of WP this Theme works fine and if i use german mo files the following error was displayed:

Project-Id-Version: WordPress 2.6.1 (de_DE) Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: POT-Creation-Date: 2008-08-15 15:48 0100 PO-Revision-Date: 2008-08-15 16:02 0100 Last-Translator: Robert Pfotenhauer Language-Team: Robert Pfotenhauer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1; X-Poedit-Language: German X-Poedit-Country: GERMANY X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8 X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;__ngettext:1,2;_c;__ngettext_noop X-Poedit-Basepath: ../../../../WordPress 2.6.1 X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: .

Is there a chance for a fix next time?

I do not know how far it is possible to post code here, but try the following change in row 18 of header.php.

Change

to

The problem is “. __(”).”), here is something to be translated, what does not exist, for this reason causing other language files an error.

I hope the code will be displayed properly, this change works without problems with German mo files.

It worked! I am very grateful for the help, I was needing much change my current theme, and this was the only one I found really interesting.

In place of that previous error now appear only these characters, see: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4315/imagekf4.jpg.

But now the error is almost imperceptible.

Again, thanks a lot for your help

@Sandip
Thanks, still working on bugs probably related to some of the plugins I’m using, I thought it was something just like you said. Reading this now. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt
@Harro
I’m using this plugin to rotate banners in the header on my blog. http://meandmymac.net/plugins/adrotate/

WordPress rookie here,
Thanks & Happy Trails . . .

First thing, great theme, thank you again for it. Next a bit off topic I realize but can you tell me how to use the latest post and popular post block in the sidebar to pull the posts from a plugin I use called the simple forum plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

@ Mike
See these two files, sidebar_l.php & sidebar_r.php
Remove what you don’t want and you will have two empty or shorter sidebars.

@ Dave
Just a guess, but looks to me that you would want to change code in the sidebar files by replacing a snippet of code with code from the plugin. Sorry I can’t paste in any code examples here.

The sidebar.php file seems to be irrelavent as it looks like a left over from an earlier theme.

By looking at sidebar_l.php & sidebar_r.php you will see that items like latest post are already there so you do not need to use sidebar widgets to show those things.

Hope this helps.
WordPress rookie here, still tweaking this theme.
Happy Trails . . .

Ah! Italiano maybe, looks interesting. Very nice.

Happy Trails . . .

I have the template also adapted a little bit and use it for a whole new blog. A gallery with various examples which demonstrate the possibilities would be a fine thing.

@ David Pilditch
Boy, that’s a good question.
Everything in the left sidebar of my blog is hard coded into the sidebar_l.php file and everything in the right sidebar is a widget. Not sure if the sidebar file controls what the widget displays or if it is the widget itself, but I would dare to guess that it is the widget considering what the sidebar files look like although they could be controlled by another file of this theme.

Looks to me like OTTI “see above comment” has figured out how to turn the numbers into small images on his blog but I believe he is using the sidebar files and not any widgets. He also figured out how to add the number of articles count to the archives section, something I have been trying to figure out.

Still learning & tweaking
Happy Trails . . .

Sorry for double post… the count numbers for Archiv, articles etc. will be et up in the widgets option.

Great theme! I want to add my logo to the header..how can I do that?Am new to all this..so if you can make it an easy lesson, it would be appreciated! thanks

Sorry for the double-post – I see I mistyped the background URL in the post… but not in the code – it’s actually:
background:url(images/abstract_bg.jpg) no-repeat scroll top;

Original body section at top of css file.

color:#464646; /*#333;*/
background:#666666;
margin:0;
padding:0 0;
font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:75%;
line-height:1.8em;
text-align:center;

with 30×26 background image.

color:#464646; /*#333;*/
background:#666666 url(images/yfwbg2.gif) repeat;
margin:0;
padding:0 0;
font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:75%;
line-height:1.8em;
text-align:center;

with 30×26 background image fixed, like on my blog.

color:#464646; /*#333;*/
background:#666666 url(images/yfwbg2.gif) repeat;background-attachment: fixed;
margin:0;
padding:0 0;
font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:75%;
line-height:1.8em;
text-align:center;

In other words, after uploading the image I wanted to use, I added this,
url(images/yfwbg2.gif) repeat;background-attachment: fixed;

Happy Trails . . .

GLENDA:
The header image is in the themes folder under /images/
.
Simply take that into Photoshop or Gimp or whatever and change it as much as you like.
.
Here’s a hint: The header can be as tall as you want if you change the #header height attribute… I made mine 180px tall.
.
I also removed the text in the title and sub title in the WordPress dashboard so it would not interfere with the banner.

Hey,
nice Theme,
but…

… is althoug a german version available?

How to eliminate top margin to zero?

I want to give you one suggestion. Even though you say that this theme is widgetised, this is not completely correct. If you turn some widgets on, those default widgets will still appear. That is happening because you put if on wrong place. So on left sidebar you’ll need to put :

on third line and

before two last divs. Same applies to right sidebar.

Also I want to ask you something about customization of theme. How could I make to posts content be wider than default 540px, if there is, for example, some picture that is wider and I want to show it whole, but that right sidebar moves to right also? This will, of course, make horizontal scroll bar in browser but that is not important to me. You can see what I want to achieve here.

I tried by changing width:540px in entry to min-width:540px but then right sidebar is moved below. I’ll appreciate your help.

I am using CognoBlue theme which is great. BUT… i have just gone to insert a single page and page template field is altogether missing!

I reset to default and it appeared, went back and it is still missing.

Has anyone else had this problem, its a very popular theme so I am hopeful.

Thanks

Can someone walk a real novice as to how to add an image to the header in this theme? Thanks

@ TICE, scroll down the style dot css file until you get to /* left sidebar ———-*/ Look just seven lines above that, remove the word, “decimal” but nothing else, best I can do, worked for me. ie: change this: list-style-type:decimal; to this: list-style-type:;

Good Luck . . .

The header is just a blank, white rectangle. I’m new to this but want to at least have the title of my blog in white letters on a blue background but don’t know how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

TS

I cannot get the file permissions to change on this profile. I’ve gone in with my FTP program and allowed full rights, but the template is still not editable. Can someone help me out?

Great theme..would like to add my own logo to header…how can I do that..am new to web. Thank you

@ NKK
from above:
You won’t see images/ full post when you browse category because Cognoblue theme is coded to display just excerpt. You can easily make it to display whole post and images just by deleting or renaming archive.php file present in Cognoblue theme folder.

Thank Don,

Change or rename achive.php didn’t work. But I changed coding in archive from “excerpt” to “content” and it worked.

NKK

I like the theme. I’m a newbie and have a question regarding links in my posts. When I post, linked text is hard to see. It appears fine in preview of wordpress but after publishing, they are hard to see. I’m assuming this is easy to fix but am rather nervous about looking around. Any ideas as to which file to look into and what to change?

Thanks for your help.

Brian

I have too much on my header..is it possible to make some drop down lists with this theme? Thanks

@ TICE, scroll down the style dot css file until you get to /* left sidebar ———-*/ Look just seven lines above that, remove the word, “decimal” but nothing else, best I can do, worked for me. ie: change this: list-style-type:decimal; to this: list-style-type:;

Good Luck . . .

Thx for pointing the way to remove numbering in sidebars.

How to change text color to darker one? The code is inside the CSS or page.php or other files.

How do I make the big blue stripe with the blog name thinner? I’d like it to take up less space when the blog appears in the browser.

when you click on a select a category … the following page opens without the photos.

@ Vision

You won’t see images/full post when you browse category because Cognoblue theme is coded to display just excerpt.

Open achive.php and change coding in archive.php from “excerpt” to “content” and it will work.

Happy Trails. . .

I’d like to change the hyperlink color in the body of posts to a different color. It is too dark and difficult to distinguish between the text and a hyperlink. I’ve looked through the style css file but to no avail. Can you please tell me which item this is and where it’s located so I may change the color. Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated. Wonderful theme, by the way.

Is there any way to change the page order list at the top of the header (Home, About, Site Admin, Log out, etc…) Thanks.

Sorry! I forgot to mention that the problem mentioned appears in the sidebar_l because I have the wp_list_pages in there.
Thanks

@ Jill
Sorry don’t use google stuff, works fine in Firefox though.

Good Luck, Don

Hi,

I love this theme, I tried it simultaneously with another theme on another blog, and decided to use this for all my blogs. I need a little help with the header though…

What code would I use to add columns to the header in the Cogno Blue theme? By reading comments above I figured out where to edit it, but don’t know the code to use. I would like to have it appear almost the same as having two sidebar boxes in the header – preferably the same width as the sidebars in the main content.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

For anybody who’s trying to change the spelling error “Previose” in the theme – it’s in the Single Post php file just CNTRL + F (CMND + F for mac users) and type in the Previose in the Find field – you can then change the spelling to Previous – just an FYI for anybody unsure how to change it.

Love the theme

Great theme, very customizable. Does anyone know if there is a way to make one page link a different color or boldness different from the rest?

Hi;
I like the Cogno Blue theme very much and have used it on three of my blogs. I have one challenge. I like to make my opening page a static page, or home page. The title of that page is built for SEO. What do I edit in the header to eliminate the “HOME” page form showing up and make my title page become the “home” page

Don, the main page of my blog using Cognoblue looks fine, but when I visit a permanent link, it’s stripped of the template. All I have is text.

What did I do wrong?

Question about footer content creeping to the right sidebar.
From the right sidebar, I commented out the Subscribe to Feeds and What We’re Reading sections.
Now viewable footer info. in the theme has moved to the right sidebar. Not sure how that happened, as footer.php hasn’t changed.

Anyone know how this could happen?

@ Tom

After looking at the original right sidebar file I can only conclude that you made some kind of error in “commenting out” Subscribe to Feeds and What We’re Reading sections.

I did not do in “commenting out” on this file.
Just remove everything from, “” to “” for each section to remove them completely.

Leave one empty line between the remaining sections of code.

Hope this helps,

Happy Trails. . . . .

Hello,
I’m trying to contact the developer but the contact form isn’t working and I don’t have an email address.

Here is the email I am trying to send:

Hello,

I have a question and would appreciate your feed- back. I want to install google analytics code in your cognoblue theme. The code below is taken from your cognoblue theme.

My question is where do I put the code?

Put the code in like this:

OR do I highlight all of this and paste the code over the highlighted area?

What’s causing my confusion is that it’s always been my understanding that the tracking code is alwasy placed just before the as follows:(analytics code tag)but in cognoblue it’s telling me to put the code here
So, does it go between the — here –/ OR do I delete
and place the code over the area I just deleted?

Keith

I have wordpress installed in my root directory.

I am using cognoblue.

I like the theme but it has taken over my site.

Is there a way I can add pages to my site that are not subject to the cognoblue theme?
thanks.

Hi!

Your cogno blue theme is no longer available for download on wordpress.org and your download link.zip redirects to wordpress.org

Is there anyway to download this theme? Is it still available?

I already have the theme, so am I allowed to give it away free to others?

The real beauty of this theme is ths simple way the tables are defined in the side bars so it is easy to move them, add in your own ads or an optin list form

please let me know on this

thank you, Scott Casey

“Your cogno blue theme is no longer available for download on wordpress.org and your download link.zip redirects to wordpress.org.

Can a copy be emailed to me. Thanks Ken

Thanks the wonderful theme. Do we have to keep the footer links to use it?
