Redoable 1.2 has just been released. Head to the Redoable homepage to find out whats new and to make sure you download the latest copy. enjoy.
Drum roll please Mr. Music, Redoable 1.1 is here! Ok, there a few reasons why it was delayed longer than first anticipated. The main reason was that I decided to hold off until WordPress 2.1 had been released so that I could make sure that it was compatible. In the last week I’ve spent a fair amount of time checking that everything works ok in both 2.0.x and 2.1. If you come across anything that you think isn’t working correclty just let me know.
The other major reasons were the number of bug fixes and new features that have been included in this release. Some of the new features include Livesearch now works, choice of two different single post layouts, and a preview of the dynamic style feature which allows you to change between dark and light colour schemes from the admin area.
On top of the extra features, support has also been added for several new plugins. More details about the features of Redoable 1.1 are included below. Also included is some information about upgrading and/or installing Redoable on your blog. If you’re ready to go you can download Redoable 1.1 now.

New plugin support
Support for these plugins has been added.

Bug fixes
These are just some of the bugs that have been fixed in Redoable 1.1
- LiveSearch now works. It is suggested that if you are using Alex King’s Share This plugin, that you upgrade to the latest version which is 1.4.
- Numerous css fixes and changes to correct some alignment and positioning problems on selected pages. Including styles around the Gregarious plugin and the position of the Share This plugin.
- Due to the changes in the way that WordPress 2.1 handles categories for both links and posts, the sidebar and all modules using categories have been modified to work with both WordPress 2.0.x and WordPress 2.1
- An additional loop (searchloop.php) has been added to help with the handling of the LiveSearch results.
- Float problem with sidebar modules has been rectified.
New features
Features for everyone.
- LiveSearch, and the ability to display search results in either the body of your page or in the sidebar.
- The dynamic style option allowing you to choose between dark (default) and light colour schemes from the admin area.
- Additional support for the previously mentioned plugins.
- The option to choose between two different methods of displaying post meta data on the single post view. You have the option to display it the sam eas on the homepage with the meta data under the post title, or in a seperate column to the right hand side of the post.
- Addition of support for my Ultimate Category Cloud plugin on the Archives page, which will display a Coloured and Weighted cloud of your categories when the plugin is active.
- The search box will be displayed using the special Safari search box when using Safari. When not using Safari the search box will be styled differently, and in the case of Firefox users it will have a similar ’rounded’ look to the Safari search box.
For full details of all changes in this release please see the included changelog.txt with the Redoable 1.1 download.
Exisiting issues
- Some people are experiencing a problem where the comments and permalinks are all referring to the incorrect posts. As yet I have been unable to replicate this problem, and it doesn’t seem to happen on everyones blog. It could be related to the use of different permalink structures, but as yet I don’t have a solution for it.
- Sidebar overlap issue. This hasn’t been completely fixed but the sidebar will now overlap on top of the footer instead of disappearing behind it when there is only a small amount of page contents.
- LiveSearch doesn’t seem to work with custom permalinks. This has also been reported by other users of K2 (which Redoable is based on), but as yet no-one has had a good answer.
Installation
Download the zip file. Extract, then upload the Reodable 1.1 folder to your wp-content/themes folder on your web server. Goto the presentation section in your admin, and select Redoable 1.1. Set your options in the Redoable options panel. Enjoy.
Upgrade
It should be possible for you to upgrade from Redoable 1.0 to 1.1 by copying the new files over the old ones, however I recommend that you upload the Redoable 1.1 folder and leave your Redoable 1.0 folder intact. Upload the new Redoable 1.1 folder to your wp-content/themes directory on your web server, and then select Redoable 1.1 from the presentation menu in your admin area. Which ever method you choose, you should not lose any of your settings from Redoable 1.0, unless you choose the “uninstall” option. As always if you’re worried, just make a backup beforehand.
WordPress 2.1 Support
As mentioned I have tried my best to ensure that everything works ok with both WordPress 2.0.x and the new WordPress 2.1. The only thing that I highly recommend is that you check any of you exisiting plugins and update if there is a newer version available. Many plugin authors are in the process of updating their plugins to be WordPress 2.1 compatible.
Should you come across any compatibility problems with WordPress 2.1 (or WordPress 2.0.x) please leave a message in the Support forums, and I will try and fix it asap. In fact, if you come across any problems what-so-ever, leave me a message in the support forum and I will get back to you asap.

This is excellent. Thanks for posting this guys!
[quote comment=“1015”]I think your template could be improved in one way. I stead of having the break down the middle where the post info appears could you not float it right inside the main div making the text/images in the post wrap around it?
Other than that this is one sweet template and I may start using it myself soon!
Nice work mate[/quote]
Nice idea, I would have to look into how this would work with the structure I’m using. Depending on if major changes are need or not, I might look at adding this in the future.

[quote comment=“988”]Maybe somebody want’s to remove this disturbing horizontally scrollbar: I changed margin in the body-tag from “0px 20px 0px 20px” to “0px 20px 0px 10px” and now it is gone.
Couldn’t find any information about it (neighter in the forum nor here in comments)…[/quote]
Thanks for sharing that with everyone.
The same effect should be able to be achieved by changing the margin on the body to:
0px 0px 0px 20px;
This is what I have changed it to for Redoable 1.2, as it keeps the left margin that I wanted, but allows the page to display without scroll bars on 1024×768 resolution monitors.

[quote comment=“208”]Yes, unfortunately this has been reported by a number of users, but the exact reason as to why it is happening is yet to be found. The code that handles comments has not been modified, as far as I can remember, from the original K2. I’m stumped, I cannot reproduce this on any of the three installations I’ve got, so if anyone has any ideas please post them in the support forum.[/quote]
Sorry to “Clog up” your post Dean, but I think this is important for people to find. If your users are finding it difficult to post comments to your site, try taking the comment code from another template and using it in Redoable. I haven’t had any problems with it so far. If you need to see how I did this, see this file:

Good luck fixing it Dean and thanks for the awesome Theme!
Hi,
The theme looks great, thanks! I have a few questions:
- The dynamic style option allowing you to choose between dark (default) and light colour schemes from the admin area. — This isn’t working for me. I am trying this out on Windows, with Apache. The theme doesn’t change a bit when I choose the different options.
- How do the voting/rating stars show up with the posts? The default installation doesn’t seem to show them?
Thanks.
Very very good theme.
I just loved this menu! Great fx and colors… Congrats for you work.
Thank you!! :)
I do it using the ‘Noteworthy’ plugin, you can then set important or interesting posts to be ‘noteworthy’ and the little heart will be displayed. Do a google search and you should be able to find the plugin. Hope that helps.
Hey Dean,
This might sound a pretty dumb question… but how can I add images (like you added the heart) to the title of my posts?
Thanks a lot! :)
Hi! First off, I want to start by saying what a great theme it is, and thank you for releasing (and supporting) something so wonderful!
I followed Paula’s advice (from the support forum) on how to get an image to cover the red header, but I cant figure out how to change the thin 10px strips on either side of the header image? I imagine these would be in one of the stylesheets, but can’t seem to find it?
Cheers!
P.S. I couldn’t post in the support forum as a guest, do I have to sign up to use it? :-)
Hey me again. It appears disabling the Sidebar Widgets plugin fixes my “comments not matching article” problem. I made a couple test entries to ensure it stayed “fixed” after updates and it does. So right now turning off widgets corrects the problem, at least for me.
[quote comment=“274”]In the admin panel there ist “Blog” and “The text on the first tab in the header navigation.” Is there a header navigation with tabs? I have only the logo and than start at once the first posting.[/quote]
Sorry, that is left over from K2, I should have removed that. K2 has its navigation as tabs, Redoable has its on the right hand side above the sidebar (except in IE6…)
[quote comment=“274”]In the single page post the little box right handed has at your blog “share this” — have I to install a plugin for this feature?[/quote]
Yes you can use Alex King’s Share This plugin.
[quote comment=“279”]When will a fully widgetized three column version of this theme be released?[/quote]
Making the third column ‘widgetized’ is on my list of things for the future. Probably not the next release, but sometime in the future.
When will a fully widgetized three column version of this theme be released?
