Looking for some help here... I'm running WordPress 2.3.3 with K2 as my theme and that is styled with TrueBlue 1.5. Running Gallery2 version 2.2.4 with WPG2 plugin 3.0.2 - Theme is the wordpressembedded theme. You can see the site at www.pimptiva.com My problem is that when you go into the gallery, the theme for K2/TrueBlue is setup to display with the Wordpress sidebar. The gallery is embedded into a wordpress page, but the sidebar doesn't display. I'd either like to: 1. Display the sidebar from Wordpress on the embedded gallery page or 2. Change the images that display on the K2/TrueBlue theme. I've already modified the images to go route #2, but I'm not sure how to set something up so that it displays properly... Anyone have any suggestions to go either route? I'd appreciate it. |

SimonTuffGuy,
Unfortunately I am not really a theme designer however I believe the K2 Theme does not output the Wordpress Sidebars.. You can add the Wordpress Sidebar back in by adding the following line to the wpg2header.php file <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

oz - Thanks for the reply. I tested out a wpg2header file with the code you provided (I read that on one of the topics I searched)... However, the sidebar was displayed on the page to the left... Then it was almost like a line break and the gallery was below it. I poked around in the CSS of K2, but it was a little more advanced than I've ever done myself.
I could probably try to ask someone over on the K2 forum, except the last time I did, it went unanswered.

Actually... I found another site running site that's running K2 with Gallery and his works. He posted a question on the K2 forums asking how to make it work as well, but no reply.
I've got a PM into him and I'm waiting for a reply.
(His site is at http://karlsengroup.dk/) - I thought I could steal his wpg2header.php, style.css, etc. files... But can't...

Best of luck, I am really not the best as CSS, ok I really suck @ CSS so my attempts most likely would end up with a 20px wide G2 and no sidebar

Haha...
Thanks. If I can find a solution from the other person who got it figured out, I'll be sure to post it up here incase anyone else comes here looking for it.

Got an answer after searching a good bit more... It was another post from the guy I listed above, on another forum.
Basically, I'm running a custom header and a custom footer under WPG2.
In the wpg2header file, I ended it with: <div id="wpg2content">
In the wpg2footer file, I started it with: </div> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
And then in the style.css for my K2 theme, I just added:
#wpg2content {
width:538px;
float:left;
padding:3px;
margin:6px;
overflow:hidden;
display:inline;
}
I had to tweak the padding and margin to make the sidebar fit in there correctly... But I got it working and it looks just like the rest of my pages.
Thanks for the help - and hopefully I can help someone who is looking as well.
