Download Redoable 1.2 Now!

Redoable 1.2 is now available and is compatible with both Wordpress 2.0.x and Wordpress 2.1
Redoable is built upon the popular K2 code, with some things changed, a couple of things removed and a whole bunch of things added.
The sidebar is module/widget ready, with over 20 different modules available to use. By deafult the sidebar will work without the need to add any modules, and will display the calendar, categories, tags, blogroll and listen and watch modules depending, of course, on whether you have the relevant plugins set up.
Two of the modules, ‘Listen’ and ‘Watch’, make use of categories in Links, you can set which category and how many links to display in the Redoable options panel. The idea of these is to provde links to music, movies etc that you might be enjoying at the time. This was based on a method described by Matt Brett.
Sidenotes will be shown on the homepage. The category and number of sidenotes can be set in the Redoable options panel. They are displayed using Matt’s Asides technique just as they are in K2.
As with K2 the Extended Live Archives can be setup from the Redoable options panel, and you can also enable the Archives page. I also added support for Alex King’s Articles plugin, and once the plugin is activated the Articles page can be turned on or off from within the Redoable options panel.
On top of all this there are countless tweaks here and there to just about everything, too many to list here and many are probably barely noticeable.
Note: Redoable is not a style for K2, it is an independant theme. You can have both K2 and Redoable installed on your blog at the same time as they do not share any config options and can be configured seperately.

Thankyou
Michael, Chris, Zeo, Steve, Ben and anyone else who has contributed to K2. Without K2 there would have been no starting point for my theme.
Tyler Longren for his Unwakeable theme which was also based on K2, and served as a good base to build Redoable from.
FamFamFam for the fantastic Silk icon set. There’s an icon for just about everything.

Known Issues
There were a couple of things that I have been unable to completely fix so far, these are listed below. If you have any suggestions your help is always welcome. If you find any bugs please leave details of them in the support forum.
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.- Fixed in v1.2- 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.

Hi Dean, i’m using this theme. But the “Category” still couldn’t preview on the side bar, can you teach me how to switch on it?
my site : http://www.daisycave.com
Dean,
An updated version of Redoable for WP 2.6 would be awesome :)
Hi Dean,
I don’t know much about php, I’m learning css and stuffs but what I really like is … the font you used for your redoable theme, the one you use to write “redoable” in the header. Could you tell me what font is it? I’m very intrested as I wanna use it to design my blog.
thank you in advance.
Ok, figured it out (that is how to remeove the “Get firefox” banner. . You need to goto the Theme Editor, and click on the file - I think Header, and remove the 6 or so lines near the bottom that reference the “Get Firefox” banner. - Sorry, wish I kept my cut. Obviously this will break the templte, but if you think it rocks - like I do, and are desperate to use it, but really can’t deal with the “Get Firefox” banner,then until the template is fixed, this is what worked for me. I hope it helps someone.
it really is a shame the option to turn OFF that gawd awful “Get Firefox” banner doesn’t work. Just can’t use this theme with that hangin’ there. Using WP 2.6.1, can anyone tell me howto remove that firefox banner. i have selected the option to turn it off, but it’s still there. pls comment here, of on my blog http://www.vk2ttg.com
Is there a relatively easy way to add an additional sidebar on the left side or even another column to the right of the default sidebar? I’m not familiar with modifying code so I’m trying to find a way to do this which is as simple, clear, and straightforward as possible. Thanks for the help!
Good theme
1st of Hahlo is the shit and should be standard for tweeting lol.. and it will be for me from now on. i am new to wordpress and i am aprently retarded love ur theme and want to up grade.. i think i will go read wordpress for dummies at the store then send u the 30 bucks lol. good work man even tho i cant set it up.. its clean and well done! and i want in!
probably a total noob question, but I have the same posts showing up twice on my site - any help as to why?
Love the theme, btw! It was exactly what I was looking for!
Hey Dean,
Thanks for the great wordpress theme. We’re using it for our footwear+apparel store in Canada called Unit 5 (http://unit5.ca), and it’s working great for us so far.
I hope you decide to keep updating and improving the theme.
Regards,
- Mark
Cool, nice work, and thanks for keeping my link in the footer, much appreciated.
I discovered the light-version of your theme at Wordpress.com and I really loved it. I also ported it into a blogger-template, which you can see and download at http://redoable.blogspot.com.
Great theme… looks great…. but…. i have some problems with the Firefox banner for ie users… it’s off in the options.. but shows up anyway?? I want to use the badgefarm but i can put it on but it isn’t showing?? anybody who can help me fix this pls drop me a line in the comments of my blog or something :) THX
I really like the theme and intend to use in for the blog I am planning. One little comment is that I feel it is much better to put an image in place of a text as a title. Sometimes the text don’t look too good. One last thing, I would like to know if it is redoable that you use as your theme for this site or another one.
OK, I feel like this should be obvious and I feel dumb asking, but I can’t figure out how to use the sidebar modules in the first place. I can edit the sidebar.php to my heart’s content if it’s using an existing module or a plugin, but I don’t see how to just include a module from the theme or build a sidebar out of modules.
I saw the K2 sidebar theme plugin, but it didn’t activate and I didn’t think it would solve the problem anyway. Help?
Really great :-)
Awesome theme! It is so nice! I am planning to use this for my wedding photography blog - score! Thanks

This is one of the best themes I’ve found, and I’m using it on my blog now. My only question, since I’m not a CSS expert, is how I could add a little bit more space in between the end of each “block” in the sidebar and the start of the next one? Right now everything looks very crowded and bumps right up against the item below it, but I can’t figure out how to change that in the CSS. Can anyone help?
Hi there,
I’ve tried this theme with Wordpress 2.5 and it seems pretty solid on the new platform but I’ve hit an issue with Comment Flooding. For some reason it extends the normal 15 seconds to some indeterminate length thus preventing anyone (including me!) from commenting more than once for ages.
Are you intending updating this theme for 2.5 by any chance? I really like the look and feel - very simple and stylish.
Cheers
Hye…i would like to ask
sorry iam really new in using this theme.
i really like the functionality..but i would like to ask how to change the background color and all colors in the theme.
it would be great if you guys can email me, tgpaan[at]gmail.com
have a nice day
Hi !
Thanks for this nice theme.
Is it compatible with WordPress 2.5 ?
I am using this theme for almost a year now. Thanks Dean!
I love this theme, thank you ;)
Hi Dean… Thanks so much for developing this theme. Is there perhaps an update coming that will fix the few small issues and be compatible with 2.2 (or the upcoming 2.3)? That would be great! I’d be happy to donate towards the project if I knew there was a new version in development.
And if not… thank you anyway, for your hard work and your gift to the community.
Do you have any idea when a supported wordpress 2.2 Rechuked Buttons Plugin will actually go live? Or does anybody else have a similar plug in that works like this? I really would love to get this activated on my blog.
Thanks man, and keep up the great work. I love Redoable.
how 2 download skin for WP 2.2.2 Thnx!
A Fake theme
Man your intention is not that good ;)

man, I love this theme. I just hate the fact people I know don’t care what browser they use and just default to IE.
but yeah, trying to fix it.. while on a mac… is painful, hahaha. If I get bored enough, I might try my hand at making a fake redoable-esq theme.
Also, I came across a “web design blog” in my search for an answer to a problem on wordpress.org and lo and behold, it was using the redoable theme, except it had been debranded and the owner of the blog was passing it off as his own…. I’ll see if I can find the url to the guy’s site.
Love the theme. Is there a way to make the footer stick to the bottom of the page? (Like when the sidebar is longer than the main content?).
Nothing I try seems to work.
Wow… Exellent theme. I love it
Thanks for such a great template. If your interested, I found a way to add another sidebar to the left hand side. It allows for a lot more information to get to your readers. Come check out my site and throw me a line…let me know what ya think!
Thanks again!
Hey, its wonderful. Awesome.
Look I’ve used this is my blog. http://www.profitmakingtips.com
It’s not 100% true that a theme gets better or nicer when it goes widgetized. This depends on the layout of the theme. I personally don’t think this theme is good to become widgets friendly. The layout is too unique and special.
Hello, Dean. First of all, thanks for Redoable.
A friend of mine and I have just finished translating Redoable 1.2 into Spanish. You can find that translation here:
http://code.google.com/p/redoable-es/
There you will find a MO file - that’s the one you have to install -, a PO file - in case you want to modify the translation so it better fits your needs -, a PATCH file and a ZIP file.
There are some strings that are not translation-ready in Redoable 1.2 - i.e. they are not printed/passed using _e() or __() — . We’ve taken care of that and prepared a patch file that modifies many of that strings and get them ready to translate. For those afraid of patching, we’ve also included the modified files into a ZIP file so you only have to replace them.
Please let us know any thoughts you have regarding this translation.
I love this color so cute and match each other… well done my friends ;)
My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com
I love your theme!
but, I have a little problem: how can I modify the CSS?
I tried, but I make a disaster :-)
(sorry for my very bad english, I’m italian ;-) )
1 for being able to center the entire theme in the browser.
Cool theme though, I’ll use it anyway thanks.
adam
hello every body i really like what you do continu i’m here to help me too
good luck all
Very good site. You are doing a great job. Please keep it up!
Looks great. I love your text area boxes. Very nice touch. Also the contrasting colors over the dark greys. (reds, blues, etc) Very nice.
Hi,
very good Theme ;)
My Question:
You have more distance on your sidebar on your widgets.
In which page, script, css can I change this?
Thank you for answer,
with best regards, Phil
Hey dean, very nice theme! Cheers! :)
Well, I did try tweaking the CSS for the overlapping footer. I noticed there are three parts (this is what I inferred: post footer, footer below the page and another below the sidebar) to the footer. I’ve not gone through the PHP of the page. If the footer is not divided in the way I assume, would it work if you actually did it? I mean break the footer into two parts, one for the sidebar and one for the page. Just my guess.. Can it work?
I really this theme.
I always like using different shades of gray.
This one works out well.
I like the numbered comments too, slick.
Hi Corraze, sorry must have missed your last comment.
I’m just using the default Gravatar plugin that you can download from http://www.gravatar.com
Hope that is what you were after.
Hi Dean,
I just have a question concerning the style your using in you comments. I’m actually using “MyAvatars†plugin but yours looks better. Is that another plugin different from mine ? If yes, where am I able to download it ? If not, which HTML code do I have to enter and where ?
Best regards,
Hello Corraze,
May be you are right.This comment style looks totally different and hopefully it may be a different plugin.
regards,Robin

Just wanted to say thanks for Redoable! I had great fun restyling it, and it’s attracted a lot of positive comments from visitors - but I feel it’s time for a reboot!

hi Dean,
Thanks for this well made theme.
I still have an issue with comments in my blog, from time to time, if someone uses the “quote” feature, it creates a stack error in php: any idea why?
Best regards,
Philippe
Sounds like you have a problem.
Hi Dean! I love this theme! Very nice! Congratulations! I’m from Brasil and I’m new on WordPress world, but I found an error on your new theme… In Redoable Options on section Badge Farm, when I select “Yes, show the badge farm.”, the option returns to the “No, don’t show the badge farm.”. I can’t show my Badge Farm. What can I do? Thanks.
Great theme!
I think I will use it in my next blog

Hi! I wonder how you put all the translations link at the top of your site?! Thanks!
Great theme! Short question:
The plugin “recent links” makes a litte box with the word “LINK LOG” - where could I change this words (I want to show “Quick Links” instead)? Thank you again!!!
Thanks Dean….I’ll go ahead and patch it myself :)
If it helps, remove my above comment…I don’t want to be the cause of people loosing their sites, and I’m sure you don’t either.
Thanks again!
