Hi Lukasz,
I’m afraid your theme doesn’t work properly in IE6 for XP Service Pack2. All the content appears below the sidebar.

Thanks for the info :) I’ll look into it.

Hi Lukasz
I’m looking for a new theme to start my Wordpress blog
Is there anywhere I can see an example of your Clockworkmint theme working with 3 columns?
Thanks

@heatheronhertravels - If you look at the sidebar here, you’ll notice it is already mixed (i.e both 2 and 3 coulmns), so to get a pure 3-column layout you could either just remove the content in the wide sidebar (the part with the “about”, “tags” etc.) and use the 2 sidebar design (currently “categories” and “archives”) or you can leave some of the wide sidebar at the top, followed by a 2 sidebar section and a wide section at the bottom - hope this helps.

Hi,
Can I switch out the top photo? If so, can you tell me how?
Thanks

@Erica Wilson - sure, there are two ways to do it:
the easy way:
1.) replace bird.jpg in the image folder with the image you would like to show as header (the original image is 900px wide and 147px high). For best results the new image should have 900px width.
2.) open style.css and on line 52 change “height: 145px;” to “height: XYZpx;” where XYZ is the height of your new image in pixels.
the different easy way
1.) open style.css and on line 52 change url(’images/bird.jpg’) to url(’images/XYZ.jpg’) where XYZ is the name of your new header image
2.) open style.css and on line 52 change “height: 145px;” to “height: XYZpx;” where XYZ is the height of your new image in pixels.
Hope this helps :)

Hello Lukasz,
I erased something in the sidebar template and it created a parse error. I was wondering where I could find another copy of the sidebar template to compare it and see what I did wrong.
Thank You!

You can download the theme here http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/clockworkmint and just use the original files in case you need any undoing ;)

I plan on inserting a different graphic where your Bird graphic is which has my company’s name and logo on it. Is there a way to suppress the blog title (i.e. where it says ClockWorkMint) from showing up?
12:04 pm
Łukasz Sobek
@Lori - Sure, just delete line 43 from the header.php file.

Hey Lukasz - encountering a strange problem.
When using this theme, if I visit my site going to pulphaus.com, it works fine - but if I include the http://www. in front, I get a message looking like so:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/28/d236056024/htdocs/wp-content/themes/clockworkmint/functions.php:36) in /homepages/28/d236056024/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 694
I haven’t modified beyond changing the banner image. I think I may have broken the internet. Help?
1:03 am
Łukasz Sobek
@Brandon Schatz - Sorry, my bad.
To fix it:
1.) Open functions.php
2.) delete lines 34,35,36
3.) Save the file
after that it should be ok, as there is whitespace in line 35 which needs to be got rid of. If you need more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F

Do you have any idea on how to solve this error?

Awesome. Thank you!!

@Tin - the solution posted here - http://clockworkblogger.com/theme-clockworkmint/#comment-546 - should do the trick. Posted a reply to the thread on the forum as well.

Hi Lukasz,
Thanks for such a terrific theme … I’d like to have a bit more control over the theme picking up the tag line for my blog. I’d like it to appear in only one place (not two). For example, if I choose to enter a tag line, it shows up both above and below the banner. I think I’d like it above the banner only.
I’d also like to style that text a bit differently. I’m not a php guru but I can work a bit with css.
If you can help, that would be great. Thanks!

Hi Łukasz,
I have the same problems as Tin and Brandon above, but mine goes further since I can not even log in. When I try, I only see a page with:

How can I delete anything? Or where? When I can’t login I mean.
I hope you can help me:)

@Berit - v1.1.2 should fix that - the link to the download: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/clockworkmint.1.1.2.zip

@Liz
- the “top” tag line stays there on whatever page you are on your blog, the “bottom” tagline is only displayed on the front page of the blog. On all other pages it is replaced by a breadcrumb.
- to style the top tag line just edit line 26 of style.css

Thanks for the theme. I’ve been playing with it all weekend in anticipation of converting to Wordpress from Blogger.
A couple of questions/problems.
1) I’m interested in trying some other fonts. Is there a way to do this globally, or do I have to go into each file?
2) Probably nothing you can do on your end, but it would be nice to be able to order everything in the sidebar from one master list. It’s very difficult to get everything in the order I want, as the main list goes before the subs.
3) If I wanted to change the background color, where could I do that?
Thanks.
4:15 am
Randy C
OK figured it all out. The bg.gif controlled the background. Everything I wanted to do with the fonts was in the style.css file. I hope the result doesn’t bother you too much. It suits me better this way. I should have it up by the weekend, I think.

Hi Łukasz,
Thank you so much for helping me out with my last question!
Now I was wondering if it is possible to change how it looks when you have a two level page structure like me. I mean, I would like the subpages not to be visible all the time. Only if you choose a page and click on it, I would like it to roll out and show its subpages - or the titles of the subpages.
Can that be done? I have tried to look at some of the other sites using your theme, but not many uses pages like me.
Hope you can help me again.
Thanks! Berit

Łukasz Sobek
@Randy C - I think it looks really great, clean and accessible. One thing about the footer though - did you mean it to be aligned with the left column only?
@Berit - take a look at this page http://www.milonic.com/beginner.php, it should have all the info you need to create such a menu.
