September 14th, 2007WORDPRESS : ADD THE SIDEBAR IN SINGLE AND ARCHIVE POSTS FOR KUBRICK THEME
WORDPRESS TIPS AND TRICKS
I use Wordpress 2.1 with the theme : WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann aka KUBRICK but i would think most tips work with older and newer versions. (v1.5 to v2.2+) and other themes.

ADD THE SIDEBAR IN SINGLE AND ARCHIVE POSTS FOR KUBRICK THEME
For some strange reason, with the kubrick theme, the sidebar does not appear while viewing single posts and archive posts. If you have the same problem then follow these simple instructions.
Go to PRESENTATION –> THEME EDITOR
In single.php look for id=”content”
You will have to change the class to narrowcolumn :
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
In archive.php :
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
In archives.php — change to widecolumn :
<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>
In index.php :
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
I did this modification a while back so i don’t remember exactly which files i had to modify to get the sidebar to appear but if all your files are the same as my indications above, i’m pretty sure it should work. Let me know otherwise.

Hi,
Thanks for the pointer, it’s also worth mentioning that in order to have the sidebar appear add
[?php get_sidebar(); ?]
before
[?php get_footer(); ?]
on all of those pages.

Thanks, both of you. My only frustration with Kubrick was the single post / sidebar issue, so now I’m happy.

I really appreciate the post you made cormac because without it, I would have not figured this out, but there is a little bit of an error…
Instead of adding [?php get_sidebar(); ?] on all those pages.
It should be on all those pages.
The difference is that you used brackets [and] and it should be at the beginnings and ends.

Oh well, I just made the above post, and now I see why cormac made it the way he did. This comment won’t allow me to use the pointy sideways looking V symbols. I assume it would mess up this page??
Anyway, if you replace his bracket symbols [ and ] that he shows at the ends of his tags with the pointy looking V symbol laying on its side, it will work!

So, I resume howto correct the sidebar bug in the Kubrick’s theme :
You just have to edit single.php and replace
by
and add, at the bottom of the page :
juste before
it works great for me with the kubrick theme customized with a left sidebar…
have a good day

erk… the php doesn’t appear !
so replace “content” class=”widecolumn” by “content” class=”narrowcolumn”
and add the get_sidebar instruction before the get_footer

Thanks for the great tip! Worked fine – but I noticed that, on the single posts, the sidebar does NOT have the light blue background (that helps separate it from the main body column) like it does in all other instances.
How can we get the sidebar to have that blue background in the single posts?
Thanks,
Brian
