Exactly what I was looking for - worked perfectly. Instructions and explanations are clear, easy to understand, and thorough.

This is a perfect example of how thesis tutorials should be done (and I've read plenty recently...)

John, can you send me an email (Thesis@TechForLuddites.com) with a link to your site and the page you want to customize? It will make it easier for me to figure out what specific code you need.

I have been trying to set up a wordpress website where the post on one of my pages is a little less wide than the post data on the other pages and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set up the conditional to make that happen. I keep on getting random syntax errors. Any help?

This is the code that I am trying to set up as conditional:

The idea would be to set it up a duplicate of this language so I can make the statement conditional for (is_page('3')), allowing me to go in and edit the CSS.

Did you try thesis_hook_after_header? That shouldn't repeat multiple times for each post. You could also try thesis_hook_before_content_box or thesis_hook_before_content. Unfortunately I don't have time to test it out right now, but will try in the next few days if one of these doesn't work.

Hi, nice tutorial. Only problem I have is I'm applying to a specific category. It's working though the box it's appearing before every single post on the archive. What should I put on the function before_headline so that the text box only appears once (at the post this category which happens to be an archive)? Thanks so much!! Gustavo

To change where the box appears on the page, you would change the hook named in the add_action line. Right now, it's thesis_hook_before_headline. You would change that to wherever you want it to appear, e.g. thesis_hook_after_header or thesis_hook_before_content. You can find more info about hooks in this post:

Yes, it can be applied to category pages. For example, if you had a category called "products", you would change the conditional statement in the code to if (is_category('products')) {

Hope that helps.

Hi, great tutorial Thanks!!
One question. How should I change the code if I want this box to appear below custom header and above content of specific page?
Can this be applied to category pages?

thanks, Gustavo
