    Okay. I changed the code to call grid 8 and found which container it was calling from and changed the size. It fixed my problem and did not screw anything up. I suppose the best way to learn to edit a template is just screw around. haha

    Haha. Sorry. I thought I put up a link but I guess I was wrong.

    I noticed that .container_12 .grid_9, controls the width of the content on the main page and the other pages. The main page has a separate template from the other pages, but both have a reference to grid 9 in them so when I change the width of it in the 960.css file it changes in both.

    I dont understand girds and containers so I hope its more simple than having to create a new grid and container

    Okay. I figured it out. It was easy, but now I have a big empty space to the right of all the inside pages. I believe the content boxes are all calling the same container/grid as the main page’s boxes. So am I wrong and dumb lol or do I need to rewrite some hard code.

    Thanks for responding. Dangit. That blows. I don’t know php well enough to do that. It was pure luck that I figured out how to resize the sidebar. What might I look for in the code for this theme to do that please. Thanks.

    I thought the mailpress plugin would work for my mailing list but it doesnt seem to function right. I don’t see an option to send mail to a set of emails and when I try to submit an email through it, it errors.

    I am trying to use constant contact instead but I can’t find any options besides the widget. I just want something that will collect the email addresses people subscribe with so the band can go in and write a letter that automatically gets sent to the subscribers. Please help me good coder people.

    I tried doing something like

    <li><?php wp_list_events('depth=1&location_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); ?></li>
    
    or
    
    <li><?php wp_list_wp-events('depth=1&location_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); ?></li>

    None of it works. There is no page option for the plug-in like there is in the nextgengallery plugin. What am I doing wrong?

    Your code doesnt work for me. It makes the trans bar too tall and too far off to the right. However I did modify it to this which works, but also still puts it behind hte blog titles, but thats okay because its aligned.

    #contentwrapper .pageTitle, #contentwrapper2 .pageTitle {
      margin: 15px 0 10px 0;
      font-size: 14pt;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      color: #fff;
      font-weight: normal;
      background: url(images/bg-trans.png) repeat;
      padding: 5px;
      }
    #contentwrapper .topTitle, #contentwrapper2 .topTitle {
      margin: 15px 0 10px 0;
      font-size: 14pt;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      color: #fff;
      font-weight: normal;
      background: url(images/bg-trans.png) repeat;
      padding: 5px;
      }
    .topPost {
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      font-size: 9pt;
      }

    below is what i think makes the bg-trans work

    #contentwrapper {
      float:left;
      width: 560px;
      margin: 0 0 15px 0;
      padding: 0;
      }
    #contentwrapper2 {
      float:left;
      width: 900px;  margin: 0 0 15px 0;
      padding: 0;
      }
    #contentwrapper .pageTitle, #contentwrapper2 .pageTitle {
      margin: 15px 0 10px 0;
      font-size: 14pt;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      color: #fff;
      font-weight: normal;
      background: url(images/bg-trans.png) repeat;
      padding: 5px;
      }

    I tried making this below it

    #contentwrapper3 {
      float:left;
      width: 560px;
      margin: 0 0 15px 0;
      padding: 0;
      }
    #contentwrapper4 {
      float:left;
      width: 900px;  margin: 0 0 15px 0;
      padding: 0;
      }
    #contentwrapper3 .Title, #contentwrapper4 .Title {
      margin: 15px 0 10px 0;
      font-size: 14pt;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      color: #fff;
      font-weight: normal;
      background: url(images/bg-trans.png) repeat;
      padding: 5px;
      }

    that didnt work though

    I then tried to add <div id=”contentwrapper3″> to the main page php file and i closed it even </div> but not working

    i tried your code and it didnt line up. also, it applied the bg-trans.png to the blog titles as well.

    i tried altering your code to just say .title{ etc etc because the php in the source code for those pages says the titles are “title”

    that didnt work either

    I changed the main index template to fix the home page to have the bg-trans behind the pagetitle. I have added the members and about pages, but they don’t seem to want to have the transparent bar.

    Thread Starter dismantledesign

    However, as for changing the title of the pages I create. I think it is going to be trickier. Apparently those define the title as “title” and not “pagetitle” like the home page, so I think I just have to define a new content wrapper in my styles that will be called for those. Hopefully there isnt anything else defined as “title.”

    Thread Starter dismantledesign

    (@dismantledesign)

    Yep, this code worked.

    <ul id="nav">
      <li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
      <li><?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); ?></li>
    </ul>

    And as for the bg-trans. You led me right in the right direction. The div was already called in the main page, I just had to go in the code and tell it what the page title was. So, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
