hello richie,
anyway, I can make the subscribe-to-commens plugin work with this theme, it seems that post and pages are moving way right
Hi Nice theme….
I wonder if I could repeat the issue raised about the non-functioning widgets which really is restricting the design.
It seems the footer functions are working so Widgets are added to the sidebar when requested to the Footer. Also the the ordering cannot be changed on thr sidebar.
Please can you give this some attention.
Thanks
First and foremost, your theme was one of the easier ones to install, easiest to modify, and looks the nicest to a “Web 2.0″ look ‘n feel. I’ve managed to make a few slight modifications to the theme, and with your permission, will document how I did everything for your readers/viewers to be able to make modifications of their own. This will give everyone a more *professional* look, which I feel, is essential, if not required, in blogging today.
Although I am still noodlin’ around a bit, I should have something put together soon. One of the things that I am working on is a banner rotator at the top of each page. Instead of having the Google AdSense ad (no offense, Google), I wanted to put something else there in case someone wishes to advertise. For starters, it’s really simple.
Next came the branding, by removing the title name and description of the blog, and replacing it within the logo of my company. Fairly simple, and was able to find most of the conditionals requiring the name (which, BTW, you don’t need, IF you’re going to utilize a logo or company brand name).
I was having similar trouble with the problem of the ending “” Again, simple fix. Simply put an extra “” at the end, and you’ll notice that the problem goes away for IE 6.x. I’ve tested this with IE 7.x, a beta version of IE 8.x, Firefox 2.x, and one of my buddies tried it out with Opera (don’t know which version). Everything worked fine, and looks great.
The blog is dedicated to homeland security and critical infrastructure protection (CIP), and at some point in time, I will migrate this to a larger bandwidth “pipe” (no, I don’t need one, thank you).
The blog may be found here: http://blog.infracritical.com.
Everything is considered “open source intelligence”, and is available freely, openly, and isn’t classified or designated as “sensitive information”. Any ideas, I’m open to ‘em.
Also, I’ve started using PHPEXEC — great program, BTW. Simply put in the following code sandwiched between …, and zacko-zingo…instant advertisements. I’m still trying to figure out why JavaScript scripts won’t work within PHP, but will figure that out soon enough.
Any questions, just send me an email…
More to come, too…
BTW, would you ever consider a split-format of offering 2, 3 and 4-columned formats for the Box Tube theme? This might be useful for those who want a little bit more variety in their content formats.
Just an idea…
Hi! ,
I have one question but not sure can it be done or not?
I want the 3-column-footer to move up and become 3-column-header.
Possible? Any coding expert here?
Thanks, it is a nice theme…
Zach
Thanks for making this great theme.
I’ve made a Dutch translation, it’s available at: http://vertalingen.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/box-tube/
It is something new for me
Hi Rithcie, First off let me say thank you. This is a beautiful theme. I have inserted small images at the top of every post on my site. However, when viewing a category page, all images are not displayed. Is there a way I can make a modification to the template in order for these images to show up while viewing categories??? My site is http://www.freethemac.com
thank you very much

I need help to modify the width of the sidebar and the theme, to make the site become larger. Can anyone help me ?
@Hung
You can go into the theme editor from within WordPress and choose Stylesheet(style.css). There you can change the width of various items, such as header, content, wrapper, sidebar, etc. The default width of the wrapper and content is 900px. The code will look like this:
#wrapper {
width: 900px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
Thank you mike.
How can I set the template to only list the xxx number of Recent Entries ? like it will only list:
Entry1
Entry2
Entry3
Entry4
Entry5
More…
and more is the clickable link to view all entries ?
@Hung
If you are referring to limiting the number of posts that show per page, you can adjust that figure from within the WordPress control panel. Go to Reading under the Settings panel and you will see an option titled “Blog pages show at most” with a box to enter a number.
More is typically used if you are not displaying the full post content on your posts page. Clicking more will show the remainder of that individual post.
This template has a link at the bottom of the page that says “older entries” (if I remember correctly, I changed it on mine). “older entries” will show the rest of your posts.
Mike, any help using dagondesign sitemap on this theme? if you look at my blog you can see under sitemap.
@Leo
I have never used that plugin before. What problem are you having with it??
I used this layout. Unfortunately at times, the sidebar slips beneath the posts..why does that happen?..once I publish a new post, all the elements of the sidebar go below..
Hi,
Its a great WP theme, one of the best that i have seen. I was trying the extend the post width and shrink the side bar. I have tried to change the following:
#wrapper {
width: 900px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
but all does is moves the content box on left. Any help??
Thanks
@footpath
take a look at your sidebar.php, there maybe an extra div on it, i have experienced it only to find out that I have an extra div placed.
@mike,
have a look at http://www.mirabuna.com/sitemap/, the supposed to be listing are being shifted to the right on firefox. but using IE8 seem fine.
Thanx Leo..you feedback was useful..I love your theme..but I’d like to modify it just a little to suit my requirement…
1) Can you tell me how to increase the font size?..Only the font size of the text of the posts..not the title and other things.
2) I also want to increase the Size of the my title. It’s too small, and definitely needs to be bigger..How do I go about it?
3) Is there a way I can replace that title with my site banner? Which size banner would you recommend?
4) As my blog is a multiple author blog, how can I add both the author’s names after “home” and “about” (Just below the title), so that I can link them to their articles?
thanks and keep up the good work

@Leo
The link in your post has a comma at the end, so it is not working. I did view your sitemap in both IE and Firefox. I do not see the problem that you mentioned. I have uploaded a screenshot of what I see using Internet Explorer and Firefox
http://www.freethemac.com/media/IE.png
http://www.freethemac.com/media/Firefox.png
Does it display the same as this in your browswer??
@footpathsfaded
You can adjust the fonts for anything in the stylesheet. Go into the theme editor and select stylesheet(style.css). Browse until you find the item you would like to adjust and change the value for font size. It will look like this:
font-size: 14px;
@Katy
The wrapper is only one element of the page. The code displayed in the post is just an example of what to look for. There is individual code for all elements (sidebar, header, body, etc.) Look around for the item you would like to adjust (for example, sidebar) and adjust the width property.
@Leo
You have a comma at the end of your link in the above post, so it does not work. I did view your sitemap with Firefox and I did not see the problem you mentioned. I uploaded a screenshot of what it looked like when I viewed it. You can see it here:
http://freethemac.com/media/Firefox.png
@foot
All of the font sizes can be changed from the theme editor. Choose the stylesheet and browse to the item you want to change and adjust font-size.
@katy
The wrapper is only one element to change and it was just used as an example of what the code looks like. The same process is used to adjust the width of the sidebar.
@mike,
thanks, that’s strange, hmmn let me check the plugins of my firefox, i am running at 2.0.0.16.
@foot,
mike is right, take a look at styling.css, you can find header for your header information and post-content, try to play it a little
dagon sitemap generator and contact us form plugin does not work for boxtube theme in mozilla. Please help me, thank!
awesome theme
Thanx a lot!
Could anyone help me on how to get the trackback function to show up in this gorgeous theme?
Excellent theme, thank you!
I am having trouble inserting my adsense. I have tried:
“yeap..adsense are integrated in single page only..you can input your adsense pub-id in the adsense.php and you’re ready to roll”
Unfortunately, it did not work. How can I get some add’l help with this?
Thanks.
@michael,
what basically is your problem on adsense?
I have put my pub-id into the adsense.php but nothing happened. Is there another way to use the adsense on the page? Thanks.
yes there is, take a look at my blog and see how i implemented it, are you sure you are not banned from adsense? i wonder why there is an extra space on your pub id
if you want to can just place the adsense code on single.php in lieu with the adsense code in place
Not banned from adsense, extra space? tried the single.php as well to no avail.
it seems you fixed it now, i see the ads showing
What is the best way to add a link to the navigation bar. For example, suppose I wanted people to click on a external link off of our naviation bar, how would I go about doing that? One of the other things I would like to do is have the SureThing Baseball link only show Post from within the Baseball category. I can not find the HTML.
I also have read all the comments about adding the logo but I have not had any success. Sorry, I know these issues are probably super easy fixes but I am having a difficult time.
Thanks in advance.
thanks
@kev,
try to add the link on the header.php under the div id navigator
I must admit this is the best theme I have ever seen. That is why I use it on my blog. Thanks a lot. I have one problem though.. people using internet explorer can submit comments. It gives an error asking them to fill the name and email field. This happens only in internet explorer. Everything works well in firefox, safari, opera and chrome
I will greatly appreciate some help.
thank you for given the wonderful information.
How do I create Another sidebar on the left?
Can somebody tell me!
Just wondering how do I change the font type of the posts and comments.
Im having problems with EI it collaps the border corners of the boxes and pushes the content to the left. does anyone else have this problem? and is there a way to fix it?
thanks.
Thanks for this fine
theme! I just recommended in in my blog-O-rama to my readers.
@mauro,
don’t experience that on my site in IE, maybe there is something you have added to the boxes to make it shift to the left or there are extra div in place.
Thanks a lot for this good job. But can anyone tell me how to replace the character ” (&dquo and &ldquo) which apprears in wp write panel with the normal ” (") character? Just because when i want to write code snippets it gives error.
Thanx

Great theme! Can you someone give advice as to how I can remove the social.php bookmarking bar from a custom page template without disrupting the position of the sidebar? See here.
I have created a custom page template and can clear out the page until i reach :
” < ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/social.php'); ?> ”
when I delete that or replace it the sidebar changes position..
@Jono,
YOu can delete that fine maybe there are some div that you also removed.
thank you for this FREE quality theme! we just changed our theme using this wonderful design… Big thank you and more power!
Thanks for this great theme!
Quick question… when you post links in posts, such as, http://dezzain.com, they only show as text and not hyperlinks. You have to manually create a link during writing the post.
Is there a way to fix this so it recognizes links?
Thanks a bunch! Keep up the good work!

125×125 ad

First off, what a great theme. However, I discovered some inadequacies with some of the header tags H1, H2, H3 etc. To start, the H1 tag is the same for each page, which isn’t exactly optimal for SEO purposes. The main page of my website only appears in search engines, the actual permalinks files do not show. Does anybody know of a quick fix for this problem?
