LightCMS Width update [IE]

I had heard that there was problem of content area going down in certain websites in Internet Explorer for the LightCMS theme. I sorted it out by removing the width. You just need to download this style.css and replace it with existing one. The sub category problem is also covered now . :)

  1. Works like a charm!
    You’re the best!

  2. I like the look of the theme. Is there anyway that I can make the middle column wider? I’d like to post flickr pictures in there and the default of the good sized ones is 500 pixels wide. Any siggestions?

  3. Hey Brian,
    you need to find this in /style.css

    #content {
    width: 362px;
    margin-left: 180px;
    margin-right: 200px;

    and increase the width as per you need. Now increasing that will cause your page to have more width than screen resolution, so you need to justify it by lowering the #sidebar width, and if necessary navigation width.

    #sidebar {
    float: right;
    width: 175px;
    border-left: 1px solid #d5d7d2;
    padding-left:10px;
    }

    Hope that helps.

  4. Should be great if you fix the internet explorer problem in the internet job theme. This is a problem with the tags, because it looks with a lot of space between each other.

  5. Hi, great theme! I’m trying to customize it a bit and found the sub-categories bug with IE and it works to replace the style.css with this new one. But I’ve already changed alot to the style.css and want the fixed width. Can someone point out which does I need to edit to just fix the sub-category-problem?

    Thanks alot!

  6. The problem is with sub-categories in Internet Explorer. The Sub-categories shows up in the menu as they should but the rest of the menu is to the right of the whole menu putting down the whole content etc. I’ll keep hacking the CSS and see if I get it to work… if anyone fixed this please let me know! Thanks!

  7. Just wanted to tell that I finally fixed the subcategories.
    Here’s what I added in the style.css:

    #navigation ul.children
    {
    display:inline;
    padding: 2px;
    margin:0;
    font-color:#fff;
    float:none;
    }

    #navigation ul.children a:link, #navigation ul.children a:visited
    {
    width:90px;
    color:#f38503;
    margin-left:10px;
    padding-left:10px;
    }”>

  8. Hey Micheal , sorry for the delay. Glad you shared the edit with us.

  9. Hi, is the a way to use page in a different way? I mean without all the post info in the bottom..is the a conditional clause to say something like “if is a page don’t show this piece o code”
    thanks..good job anyway!

    I did not get you :/ . Are you reffering to the “time, category” etc ? if so , and you need to remove them, in index.php delete the codes ( you’ll should get it once you open the file ;) )

  11. Hello!

    I’m using the LightCMS 1.0 theme and cannot resolve some issues:

    1. Is is possible to put messages from a specific category only to the
    loop, for example News?
    2. I noticed that sometimes categories in the sidebar disappear. How
    can I fix it?
    3. Is it possible to set a background picture for this theme?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Alex.

  12. Hey Alex ..

    1. try http://wordpress.org/support

    2. I did not get you, can you show me the URL ? do let me know the browser and OS details.

    3. It sure is possible, in theme’s style.css file, add this on top

    body {
    background: url("image.gif") #fff;
    }

    and put the image.gif in your theme folder.

  13. Hi Alex, I’ve already changed the style.css but IE still ruins your beautiful theme on my page. I’m using the IE 5.2 for MAC. Any Idea?

  14. Could you tell me what exactly is the prob ? and which browser are you using ?

  15. Well. I’m using IE 5.2 for MAC. Firefox and Safari are OK. The the layout gets weird. Both main center columm, where the posts are, and the right sidebar falls down.
    One more question, can I add a “last Posts” box at the float left? Thank you.

  16. Dear Sreejith,

    I was used your great themes to my site http://3gweek.net. I want to put feature a kind of “Mostly read items” to my site. How to do it? Big thanks

  17. Dear Sreejith,

    Love the theme, and have uploaded new css as recommended for IE, however still having problems (different/similar)in IE and Firefox. Take a look at lvreqa.net … in IE leftsidebar catrgories “pop-out” issue and also when you select a new page from the “Pages” on the right sidebar, the Meta heading “pops-right” into the content area.

    Similar in Firefox, new css solved problem on index page, but when you select pages, Meta Header pops into comments area. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    regards,

    Patrick

  18. nice theme…tried a lot of versions but will probably stick with this one for now…simple, clean, makes us look like pro’s and what have you
    keep up the good work and thanks for the support…waaay better than the wordpress forum and speaking from experience…nothing personal wp family

  19. just noticed my site is expanding 100% to fit browser size as opposed to fixed width…anyone with any ideas on how to fix this please let me know…will be checking back if i cant fix it on my own
    thanks a lot

  20. Hi Al-fallujah ,

    Actually this version is a fluid layout . If you want the layout to have width you can specify it in CSS by opening style.css and adding a wdith (like width: 700px) between #container { and }

  21. i was using the theme and everything is cool then now i think putting some icons would make it more sexy eg. icons for edit, authors, menus. but just cant get it working. it just dont show. any help?
