    Hi Sadish

    As already wrote I am very happy with your theme.

    Only one question: There are files like pages-download.php, page-archives.php, page-links.php and so on.

    In which case these files are used?

    Thanks.

  3. Sadish says:

    there is no page-downloads.php.

    there may be
    1.page-archives.php and
    2.page-links.php and
    3.contact.php

    these are “page templates” that come with the theme.

    “1″ is the Archives Page Template.
    Create a New Page using the write page option within the wordpress admin.
    and on the right hand side you see a box called ‘page template’
    choose ‘archives’ as the page template.
    then when someone views this page, page-archives.php will be loaded.

    “2″ is the Favorite Links Page Template.
    Create a New Page using the write page option within the wordpress admin.
    and on the right hand side you see a box called ‘page template’
    choose ‘Links’ as the page template.
    then when someone views this page, page-links.php will be loaded.

    “3″ is the Contact Page Template.
    Create a New Page using the write page option within the wordpress admin.
    and on the right hand side you see a box called ‘page template’
    choose ‘Contact’ as the page template.
    then when someone views this page, contact.php will be loaded. This gives an easy option to create a contact page without installing any plugin.
    People can email you using this page.
    the email will be sent to the email address entered within wordpress options as the ‘admin email’.

    Hope you are clear now.

    Hi Sadish Bala,

    I would like to add a link to AquaFluid under the “Meta” grouping.

    Could you give me pointers?

    Thank you very much,

    Chris Masse

    When using a screenresolution greater than 1024×768, I get a strange line going fra top to bottom on the right side of the sidebar. I see the same problem on your “Live preview” page. How can I fix this?

  6. Sadish says:

    Michel,

    just remove the image that is being used by the sidebar in style.css

    go into style.css and look for #sidebar.
    make the background to just say #f0f0f0; and remove the reference to the image.

    That would solve your problem.
    Thanks.

    Sadish, I’m trying out your aquafluid theme now…one request when you next make an update. Can you add the About and Subscribe sidebar info on as options when someone is using widgets? Those go away for me when I use all my widgets. Actually the RSS links come up under the Meta tab…maybe this is because I switched from the other theme? I like how you have them separately in the subscribe tab better.

    Also, my verse of the day widget at the top of the sidebar ocassionally does not wrap the text properly (it gets cut-off). It only seems to happen on the home page. Will it hurt anything if I make the sidebar a little wider?

    Thanks for the great work again!

  8. JunCTion says:

    Also, I have the same problem as Michael and tried what you suggested but it didn’t work. Is this the code you were referring to?
    li.sidebox {
    padding:10px;
    background: url(img/sideheadtop.gif) #ededed no-repeat left top;
    margin-bottom: 10px;

  9. Sadish says:

    JunCTion,

    you are really becoming an annoying commenter, seriously.

    When I am saying about #sidebar, where are you coming up with sidebox ?

    the sidebox is the one in MistyLook theme and is not present at all in AquaFluid.

    I dont know why you are applying what I said to Micheal, to Mistylook theme !!!

    if you do not understand what you are doing, kindly do not touch those files at all !

    @Sadish
    Thanks for the information about the additional *.php files in the template. I have used now “archive” – works well.

    For the “contact” file I would like to suggest to implement a Gaptcha function in a future version, too.

    Thanks.
