Need help with Wordpress themes by ryxdp on 10-17-2008 at 09:51 AM
I've just installed Wordpress at the temporary directory of http://cmyk.890m.com/blogzorz, and am trying to get it to match the rest of the site (see http://cmyk.890m.com/skins for an example). What files do I need to edit, is it easy and can I use the original CSS file for the theme?
Failing that, could someone make a Wordpress theme for me?
Thanks

Make a copy of /wp-content/themes/default and copy it to something like /wp-content/themes/newtheme. Now edit /wp-content/themes/newtheme/style.css and change the Theme Name, Description, Version, etc. It will show up as a new theme in your Wordpress admin panel.
Most editing is done in style.css, but all other files in /newtheme/ are responsible for the theme as a whole. If you are fine with CSS and HTML it shouldn't be too hard to modify themes to your likings.
Your links aren't working for me btw.

Working fine over here
If you see a 404 error page with orange text, that's the style I mean, except left aligned and with a bit of padding on the left.EDIT: Try clicking on the Skins link in my sig, perhaps.

I've almost finished it, still a bit of stuff to go.
I've hit a problem with the footer (see the link in the OP). It doesn't appear to be moving down to accomodate the posts. Does anyone know why this is? I think all I need to do is move the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> up so the content div is directly below the footer, so I'll try that.
EDIT: Didn't work.
