  • I made up something quickly for a friend a few days ago that might be useful to you.

    It’s just a basic Twenty Twelve child theme with adsense areas built in. Here’s a screenshot
    http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9393/snap20121127at021250.png

    You basically paste your adsense code into 2 files, save them, and it’ll display ads as shown in the screenshot. There’s instructions in the zip.

    If you need ads in the sidebar, paste it into text widgets.

    It’s set to only show the content adsense on single.php, but that can be changed by opening adsense-content.pgp and changing the if ( is_single() || is_page() ) part to whatever you want.

    Download it here http://zeaks.org/wp-content/downloads/Twenty-Twelve-Adsense.zip

    GPL licensed do whatever you want with it.

    Reduce the margin and increase the width by the same amount.

    .left-sidebar #secondary {
         margin-left: 7.6%;
         width: 23.8%;
    }

    if you reduce the margin by 2% increase the width by 2%

    Here is my updated post on the Twenty Eleven sidebar

    Using @media screen and (min-width: 600px) around my menu modifications seems to work perfect. Thanks again for the idea.

    That might be a way around it.

    I’d be really surprised if there wasn’t a class specific to the main menu though. If I so much as add padding to it, or a background it’ll mess with the mobile menu.

    Thanks for the @media idea, I’ll try that out.

    Scratch that, it’s not working.

    This is what I have in functions

    function conditional_sidebar_body_class( $classes ) {
    
    	if ( ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) && ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ) )
    		$classes[] = 'full-width';
    	return $classes;
    }
    add_filter( 'body_class', 'conditional_sidebar_body_class' );

    And this is my sidebar.php

    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) ) : ?>
    		<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
    			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ); ?>
    		</div><!-- #secondary -->
    	<?php endif; ?>
    
    	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ) ) : ?>
    		<div id="extra-sidebar" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
    			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ); ?>
    		</div><!-- .extra-sidebar .widget-area -->
    	<?php endif; ?>

    What am I doing wrong?

    I figured this out, had to use

    // If sidebar is inactive use full width body class
    function conditional_sidebar_body_class( $classes ) {
    
    	if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) && dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ) )
    		$classes[] = 'full-width';
    	return $classes;
    }
    add_filter( 'body_class', 'conditional_sidebar_body_class' );

    I tried with new id’s sidebar-7 being the “main sidebar”. The first problem I ran into was the main sidebar is pushed down under the content.

    I’m guessing it’s got something to do with the content width conditional. If sidebar-1 isn’t active it’ll use the full-width body class to display a 1 column layout.

    I changed the id in sidebar.php to sidebar-7 then I added to functions.php

    function conditional_sidebar_body_class( $classes ) {
    	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-7' ) )
    		$classes[] = 'full-width';
    	return $classes;
    }
    add_filter( 'body_class', 'conditional_sidebar_body_class' );

    But the sidebar still stays below the content.

    Any ideas?

    Wow nevermind, I think I’ve been staring at this for too long, it does work.
    I had been playing around with the posts formats and had them all set as links and quotes, everything but what I had excluded.

    Thanks for the help

    I don’t have any plugins installed but wp-pagenavi which I’ve removed, and it’s a new wp install.

    I tried this using your example as a test template and it limits the posts but won’t filter the formats. The first two posts it displays are an aside and gallery format.

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php $formats = new WP_Query( array(
    	'posts_per_page' => 4,
    	'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
    	'tax_query' => array(
    		array(
    		'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
    		'field'    => 'slug',
    		'terms'    => array( 'post-format-link', 'post-format-aside', 'post-format-gallery' ),
    		'operator' => 'NOT IN',
    		)
    	 )
    ));
    if( $formats->have_posts() ) : while( $formats->have_posts() ) : $formats->the_post();
    	echo '<h4>'; the_title(); echo '</h4>';
    		endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
    
    <?php get_sidebar( 'front' ); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    This is working now, I’ll post what I did in case anyone else needs it. Above the query in the page template I added

    global $paged, $wp_query, $wp;
    $args = wp_parse_args($wp->matched_query);
    if ( !empty ( $args['paged'] ) ) {
    	$wp_query->set('paged', $args['paged']);
    	$paged = $args['paged'];
    }

    ah, you’re right, it is the padding. Is there any way for it to take into consideration the 10px padding around the image without making the div wider?

    Nice choice of colors for most of it, layout is good.

    Few things I noticed.

    • Text is a bit hard to read on the page you linked, line height is off or something, it’s centered while the video is off to the left.
    • Content is pulled up too close to the blue header area, i hardly even noticed the “Social media marketing” above the video.
    • Menu area should be lowered a bit, it’s covering the logo text when items are hovered over, and would just look better if it was lowered.
    • Menu hover effect doesn’t really match the site
    • Logo image could also be lowered, it’s almost flush with the top of the browser
    • Add some a:hover effects to links in the footer, possibly other areas
    • Footer could be cleaned up a bit, the brown block isn’t doing much for it (the jetpack smile is minor and can be turned off in settings)
    • Buttons (EX: signup now) don’t match, font is too small on the button and blue color is off
    • Forum headers and font do not match the site, forum headers might look good as the color you used in the blue header area.

    Sounds like alot but it’s not really, don’t think I’m picking the design apart, just letting you know what I noticed.

    Not sure why but

    td{
        list-style: none outside none;
    }

    Works in firebug
