Civilized
Civilized is a wordpress 2.0 theme, that is based on a design by Free CSS Templates.
Here is a small screenshot.

Its features include
- Supports the sidebar widgets plugin.
- Includes 404.php, archive.php and search.php, so that it clearly differentiates if you are looking at an archive view or a search results page.
- Includes a template page for creating the Archives Page.
- If a page has sub-pages, they are listed at the bottom of the page.
- Supports posts that span across multiple pages.
- Clear style definitions for ‘ordered-list’, ‘un-ordered list’, ‘blockquote’ etc

Great theme thanks!
My one question is how do I use the same sidebar I have for the homepage on all of my other pages and single posts? As they do not retain the catigories.
thanks,
Mike
I could not see why the categories are not displayed on other pages.
try and see the sidebar.php and look for the calls like if (is_home()) and delete that line.
also delete the corresponding closing } too.
or you can also use the sidebar widgets plugin, which will get you what you want.
I’ve link my civilized-10 with my http://whengoodmendonothing.com/wordpress/ site
Please tell me how I set up a link (next to the blog “Home” button), from my blog header, back to my whengoodmen~.com’ site’s homepage.
I found the link for the existing “Home” button (for Civil~) in the header.php file, but don’t know how to duplicate the necesary lines properly and code a PHP link back to my whengood~ homepage.
Or should I be in the WP support forums for this?
Thx, John
Forgot to leave my response to the template.
Often, less is more. Its simplicity of design is both elegant and easy to look at. Works well for those like me, who want to use their own header image that spans the entire page width. Integrates nicely with my website.
Great template, thx.
John,
open the header.php file.
just paste this line after the <ul> tag, but before the original ‘Home’ link.
<li><a href="http://whengoodmendonothing.com/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
That should work.
Sir Admin,
That worked perfectly – sorry it took me so long to get back.
Thx, John

I found what I assume is a bug in this theme. Good news: I don’t think it is entirely your fault. With your theme, my Pages possess categories. Well, more precisely, the default category, since there is not a menu option to change the category. In fact, it seems that WordPress 2.1 thinks posts and links deserve categories, but not Pages. (maybe 2.2?) To further illustrate this bug, clicking the default category displayed on a Page displays a list of posts with that category but no pages.
Ahmed, Yes Pages were put into the default category for posts and you cannot edit it.
but what is the issue because of that ? when you click on that category, you see the pages too ?
thanks you
Hello,
I love this theme, but for some reason my block quote lines are scrolling over into the paragraph text. How do I fix this problem?
Nevermind. I fixed the problem (a plugin was causing the left-shifting). Anyway, I have another question. How do I reduce the background margins to a smaller width? About two inches of blank white space currently fall on either side of the content on my frontpage. I would like to reduce that, if possible, to 3/4ths of an inch.
thanks good theme
Which file has the “next page” and “previous page” text so I can change the wording? I’ve checked every file and even ran a grep through PHP files and it’s not found.
I love this theme – just love it. I searched for hours knowing what I wanted but could not find it – then I found Civilized. However, I have one small problem.
When I first created my site I had one post (in December) and one Link. The “Link” banner and the actual link appeared as it should. I added a second link but for some reason the second link would not not show in the “View” page. I then added a second post (in January) and now my links have disappeared, including the “Links” banner. All changes were done using the Dashboard – I did not tamper with any code. It’s almost as thought the “Monthly” is overlaying the “Links”. Any suggestions ? – I really want to keep this theme.
Regards and Happy New Year to all.
