remove ‘by admin’ line

look for

BY <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> in your index.php delete or comment it

<!-- BY <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> -->

There is an options page, but all you will find there is a choice of three color schemes, and a question about showing the byline after the headline.

from the theme authors home page

looks to me like you should have an options menu in your admin under appearance that turns off the byline….which looks to be what displays the author info

which line? you’ve got 3…. under the header, beside your sidebar, or above the footer?

if it’s the line under the header…. it’s an image called quentin-head.gif

should be in the images folder from that theme. you could go about editing the pic so the line isn’t there…. or possibly in your layout.css file in the theme you have

#header {
	margin: 15px 0 30px 0;
	padding: 1px;
	height: 160px;
	background: url(../images/quentin-head.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
}

I’d venture you could delete the background: url(../images/quentin-head.gif) no-repeat center bottom; portion to no ill-effect

(of course….make backups before changing things in case I’m wrong….its early and I’m still on my first cuppa coffee)

ahhh….the vertical line is a border, in the same stylesheet I mentioned above, its this line

#content{ padding-right:24px;margin-right:25px;border-right:1px solid #A99880; }

you could delete the border-right:1px solid #A99880; to get rid of it.

Now are you trying to just get rid of the line, or the whole sidebar? Cuz if you want the sidebar gone and the post content to fill the width of the page, its going to take some fairly heavy mods….

well….its hard without seeing the code for your index.php (don’t forget page.php, single.php, possible archive or category.php if you want the sidebar gone in all views)

you have to delete the call to the sidebar, usually <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

now that clears oput the sidebar, but it won’t allow the content area to grow necessarily

for that you have to find the div related to your content and widen it to fit into the wrapping div

your theme confuses me a bit….but thats cool.

You have an outer wrapper, which is 710px
you have an inner container which is 760px……see why I’m confused?

you have a content div that is 470px

On first glance, it looks like you could get rid of the sidebar call, and edit .span-12, #content {width:470px;} to be somewhere around 700px

But its hard for me to be exact without better tools at hand…. I’m just kind aeyeballing it here

Now if you don’t plan to remove the sidebar on everything, its harder….as #content is shared by your posts, pages, etc. So if you left the sidebar in some areas and widened #content…it would jack up some of your layout

So to just affect your index.php youd have to do something like change #content to #content2 and copy the css in your stylesheet, changing the name to the new div id

confusing yet??
