wow best theme on the net by a long shot!!! I recently upgraded to latest version (Brunelleschi 1.5.5 ) but now the footer boxes look weird in IE. They show up on the right and are really thin so that the page is long. I checked IE at my work computer and its the same. Looks good on firefox. sorry if you have already answered this but don’t see it posted. any suggestion would be appreciated – RCW
I actually have the same in IE.
Chrome and FF are working great.
But in my IE my 4 footerblocks are all on the left site, like it’s cropped…
On my gf IE it does work fine… Very weird
My site also is not correct in IE, only everything is scrunched under the right sidebar. It must have to do with the sidebar float not getting cleared in the CSS or something, still working on getting this figured out.

Hi Kit,
Do you know how to get rid of the horizontal ruler at the bottom of the pages, but NOT between the blog posts? I’d like to keep the ruler between the blog posts, but it seems that it is the same HR for both the pages and the blog posts. I haven’t figured a way around it. Can you help?
Kind regards,
Annika
Hi – love the theme but having lots of problems with the Featured Content Slider. My photos are coming out way too stretched out. How does one set up the slider itself, and the photos to go in there. I’m getting lost between all the measurement options.
Thanks!
Hi Anne,
The issues with the featured content slider are probably Bugs and aren’t your fault. In future versions I’m going to remove the Featured Content slider from the theme and add it as a plugin so that they can be developed individually. Sorry about the issues with this, it’s a work in progress.
Beautiful, clean theme, and fantastic on mobile! Thanks, you will go far!
Hi,
I love your theme! I wanted to know if there was a way to expand the side widget bar. Also am I missing the field for widgets at the header?
Please let me know!
Thanks,
Caitlin
Hi Caitlin,
Brunelleschi is not currently set up for Widgets in the header, however you can change the sidebar width under Appearance > Brunelleschi Options. Look for the select box labeled Sidebar Column Width.
fabulous! thank you so much!
Is there any way to accommodate a side bar widget that is 300pxls wide? It is getting cut off at the largest 1140 width.
Thanks!
Unfortunately anything wider breaks the layout. It’s defined in percentages instead of pixels so that it is flexible in smaller browser windows.
Hi Kit,
I just found your Brunelleschi theme and I love it. I have the latest version, 1.5.5, but there’s just one problem I’m having. When my blog is viewed on my iPad, it looks great in the horizontal orientation, but in the vertical, the right sidebar is chopped off a bit (text and graphics run right to the edge). On my iPhone, the layout doesn’t show the right sidebar at all, either horizontal or vertical. I’m just using the single sidebar option, 3 columns, with overall theme width at 960.
I had left the mobile theme css in the default configuration; I’m not quite sure how to adjust it to fix this. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Paul
Hi Paul,
Brunelleschi drops the sidebar down to below the content on mobile devices, but you can change that if you want to. I’m not sure about the iPad issue. Can you see the sidebar if you scroll or is it totally cropped?
Thanks, Kit.
Ok, I installed the child theme, and it is showing like that on my iPhone now, except that it is only showing the left side of the blog, the right side is totally cut off. Can I just adjust the minimum width now?
On the iPad, I can see most of the sidebar ok, except that the right margin and a small portion of the sidebar, header image, etc. are cropped off. This is just in the vertical orientation still, in the horizontal it looks perfect, just like on my desktop Mac.
Hi Paul, try replacing your current child theme with this modified one: link.
I tried, but I can’t replace it. I get the message that the “destination folder already exists” and my server (Page.ly) won’t let me delete that folder right now via ftp, either…
Try deleting it directly in the Themes page.

Doh! I had looked on the themes page first of course, but didn’t see it listed anymore, forgetting it was named “no collapse” instead of just Brunellischi.
I uploaded the new modified version of the theme you just gave me but the layout still looks the same, sorry. It *seems* to be just a width problem, but not sure? Everything looks good except for the right half of the blog being cut off (on iPhone).
Unfortunately this isn’t a width problem but a zoom problem. When iOS devices rotate the site they attempt to maintain the same zoom-level, but the screen is larger so half of the screen gets cut off. If you pinch the screen you can see that the scale is correct again.
One option that might work is to disable zooming, which makes the website behave more like a web app. The result is you should get the correct size in the mobile version, however it disables pinch to zoom. If you want to try this, replace your current child theme with this one. (You’ll have to delete and reinstall again).
This is still an issue I’m trying to figure out, but hopefully I’ll have a better solution in the future.
I had tried the pinch to zoom before, too, but it still doesn’t work for my blog (on both my iPhone and iPad) but does for any other non-mobile version web site I’ve looked at so far on them in Safari. Weird. Then I checked the Accesibility settings and saw that zooming was already turned off – ?! Might be an iOS 5 problem? I found comments about similar recent pinch to zoom bugs in some of the forums.
Thanks for your help, I didn’t want to bother you too much with this, was just hoping for an easy fix.

Sweet! Thanks.
Is there anyway to adjust the width to 768px so it renders correctly on an ipad?
You could try adding this to the Custom CSS box under Appearance > Brunelleschi Options:
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) { body { max-width: 768px !important; margin: 0 auto;} #main { max-width: 550px !important;} }Thanks for the quick reply but it still doesn’t center the page. Is there any way to get it to center?
Actually I just deleted the left padding and it is at least centered now. thanks
My mistake. It still is offcenter.
Ok, here’s a good one. Could I use that code to make a widget not show up on the iPad version?
Is there a way to increase the number of sidebar columns? If not could you increase the number of columns to five in the next release? Thanks
Great theme Kit! Exactly what I was looking for. I am moving my site off Typepad over to WordPress so the site I have listed on this comment still pulls up the Typepad one.
On Brunelleschi is there a way to make the landing page significantly different from the other pages? Specifically, the two changes I want to make are that on the landing page I do not want comments enabled; I don’t even want them there. And actually I would like to turn off comments on the other pages too (about & demo), leaving comments on only on the actual blog portion of the site. Secondly on the landing (home) page I do not want to have the “groovy box shadow” turned on but I would love to have it on for the rest of the pages.
I am comfortable with basic – medium coding in both HTML and CSS but am self taught. I am very new to WordPress and am still learning my way around.
Thank you again for such a beautiful, well thought out, and elegantly simple/clean theme!!
Hey Viv
Comments can be switched off on any site you want. Go to
–> pages
–> click any page; for example — samle page
–> on the top right you see: “screen options”
–> click on “screen options” and you will see the customazition – at least: discussion
–> activate discussion and then you can turn on/off “discussion” on every page you wish
have fun with wordpress

Hi Kit,
I would like to have my page showing the left and right sidebar with a width of two columns each. And so I adjust the listboxes in the options to “both” and “two”. What happens is, that you can see the content in the correct place but the right sidebar is empty. All widget areas are shown in the right side in the order from top to down: Ternary WA, Quarternary WA, Primary WA, Secondary WA. What seems to me amazing is that the Primary WA is shown at the level or nivel of the end of the main content. So if the main content is long you can´t see the Primary WA without scrolling. Do you have any idea to solf this problem? Would be great…
Thanks

Hi Kit!
Is there a way to customize the title (without the header)?
Thanks,
Caitlin
Hi Kit,
Thanks for a great theme, just updated my site with it and linked to you. Awesome job, and glad to see you are also in Portland!

Hi Kit,
Beautiful theme! I really love it. My site needed a change after 6 years using Tarski, and Brunelleschi was just what I was looking for.
I’ve been making little CSS tweaks here and there, with pretty much no problems. I’ve only run into one snag: one single-entry pages, the following is appearing at the very top of the page, above the header:
Continue reading→"/>You can see the problem for yourself here.
I tried switching back to Tarski, and also to the default Kubrick theme; in both cases, the text snippet was gone. Just to be sure, I tried removing my additional CSS from the box at the end of the Brunelleschi Options page; sure enough, the text snippet was still there. I also ran the single-entry page through Adobe Browserlab, and the text snippet appeared in the renderings from Firefox, IE, and Safari, as well as Chrome (which is what I’ve been using).
Any help you can give will be hugely appreciated!
That bug looks like it’s being caused by this chunk of code in the header:
This makes me think that this is probably being caused by a plugin, probably this one: Open Graph tags provided by Social Sharing Toolkit v2.0.6
Thanks a lot, Kit! I fixed that plugin’s settings and it’s all sorted out now.
Hi Kit,
Is there any way I can change the width of the header image. The original size of the image I’d like to use is 694X474px and I’d like to keep it at that size if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Seema

Hi,
How can I exclude the navigation menu only in the home page?
Thanks and great work!
Hi Kit,
Thank you for, both, the most attractive theme in WordPress and your dedicated support. I, and I’m sure many others, have tried to do you and your theme justice by investing time and effort developing Brunelleschi’s many user capabilities. As committed as I feel to this theme, I can’t help wondering what the real prospects of it becoming browser and mobile friendly are. The Modernizer pug-in, btw, only helps a little and IE, for example, is just to mainstream to ignore forever. Is it realistic to expect relief soon?

Great Theme well done!!
I have a question; how can I make the Featured Slider/Header image appear only on the home page?
Thank you
Issa
Hi Kit, thanks for a brilliant theme.
I’m using v1.5.5. I’ve just noticed something that I hadn’t noticed before – my quotation is appearing in a block one character wide on my little phone! I fixed it by making a child theme with the following in style.css:
/* Mobile */
@media handheld, only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
blockquote {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
}
@media handheld, only screen and (max-width: 400px) {
blockquote {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
}
It’s still indented by the 3em padding in line 696 of your style.css, which it fine.
Tom
Thanks! I’ll put it in the next release of Brunelleschi!
Hi Kit,
I have your theme for my blog and would like to change the header to match my website. What php file do I need to use to do this?
Thanks,

Hello Kit from Los Angeles!
I just installed your theme and I love it!
I was wondering if you could help me out. I’m trying to make indents/tabs to organize some writing on my resume page to make it more clean looking. I was wondering if you knew of a plug in or code that could help me. I’ve been unsuccessful so far.
