Blue Horizon Wordpress Theme with Sidebar Widget support
April 1st, 2006 by Kaushal Sheth
Well I updated my Blue Horizon theme today and it now supports the famous newly released Sidebar widget plugin by Wordpress. The plugin is zipped alongwith the theme and just follow the simple instruction as given in the readme of widgets. Upload and activate the widgets.
Upload the Blue Horizon theme as usual and activate. Click Sidebar Widgets button under Presentation column to fiddle with new various options available. It’s really cool feature and I recommend people using my earlier version of this theme to please update the theme for more options and functionalities.
Widgets currently supported:
- Pages
- Recent Comments
- Recent Posts
- Google Search
- Archives
- Categories
- Meta
- Blogroll

Cool… thanks for sharing it. Hope you’ll do the same with the In Business theme. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

Thanks for the wonderful theme!
I made a quick change to my copy of the template I thought I’d pass your way for review. In the header file, I changed the H2 tagline to bloginfo(’description’) so that it dynamically displays the blog’s description without requiring subsequent reediting of the header file.
Thanks again,
— Evan

Am I stupid or something? How can I fix the spacing on the right hand side? I want to shorten the length of the indent so the page names aren’t so spaced out.
Any advice?

Do you have plans to update the theme for calendar widget support? I attempted to use the calendar widget, and it definitely does not work.

Hi Kaushal,
I like your theme. Spiffy!
I couldn’t find the setting such that only the excerpt comes out on the index page.
Could you help an ignorant user like me?
thanks!

This theme is great. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I too would love to have the calendar work in the sidebar.
Thanks again.

Sorry Kaushal
I suppose you can ignore my previous message. I’ve just spotted Evan’s post above where he talks about bloginfo(’description’).
Thanks again for the theme

Um, I don’t see any sidebar options under the presentation tab. How come? I’m running Wordpress 2.0.3, and this new version of the Blue Horizon theme. Under the presentation tab I have two options (the same that were there before the “upgrade” to this new version): Themes, Theme Editor.
I’m very excited about sidebar support for this theme–since this theme is my favorite one yet, but I don’t understand why it’s not working… Hmmm…do I need to have a sidebar widget installed first?

Kaushal, great theme! Thanks for your efforts.
I was wondering where to modify or delete the green boarder that appears around pictures?
Thanks, Garrett

Kaushal;
I realy like the look of this theme. I switched to it for my firefox users, who realy disliked the way my old theme showed up on their screens.
After loading the extra items I use in my sidebar, I’m trying to figure out how I can make the spacing correct so the sidebar items stay put alongside the posts. right now, they drop to the bottom right. I’m rally new at this, so I’m unsure of which item to modify to try to get the sight spacing for all areas.
Thanks!

Does the menu nav giving issues for IE for anyone else? Running IE 6 here… The top nav seems to have extra padding at the bottom. Looks great in Firefox and Safari!

Yes! I am having the same problem. Mess Sheth? Can you assist us with your beautiful theme?!

Responding to the two previous comments — I’ve had the same issue and just today figured out a fix:
To get rid of the extra space or padding in IE at the bottom of the hnav menu at the top, you need to adjust some of the margin and padding settings in the “#hnav ul”, “#hnav ul li”, and “#hnav ul li a” sections of style.css. Specifically, IE needs a “margin-bottom: 0;” added in there. It also looks like IE and Firefox interpret “margin” and “padding” settings a little differently. Besides the margin-bottom setting, I fiddled with other padding, margin, and line-height settings in that part of style.css and got it exactly like I want it. Very cool!

Hi is it possible to make this beautiful theme in 3 columns and wider?
Thanks!

Go make your own 3 column layout. Lazy prick.

Hello Kaushal,
nice Theme. I was happy, if I found it after I installed the German version of WordPress 2.1.2. last Friday.
Unfortunately, i don’t have options on the widgets, if I activate your theme. If I use the WordPress default theme 1.6 with the widget-adaptions from automattic.com then I can edit the widget options. Do you know the reasons?
Please send me an e-Mail with your phone number or your Skype name. It can be that I have a little assignment for you.
Thank you for sharing many themes.
Till soon
Thomas

By the way, where is this header sky?

Using a modified version of your site. Upgraded to WP 2.1 and now sidebar blogroll/categories is displaying the following:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM
Do you have a version that is 2.1 safe?
Thanks.
Don
