@ Niklas,

Check you have followed all the steps, especially the bit about adding the Template Name to the top of the new template file. This name needs to be unique too.

Thanks for the article, but i have followed the steps like it says, and now i cant choose any page template when creating or editing one.

I removed the new one that i had created following the tutorial here and still the page templates wont show in the page options.

Hi Phillip,

Glad you liked the article.

You will probably have CSS inheritance issues with your method. Although it’s more long-winded, I would change the div id=content to div id=fullwidth.

Then copy all of your #content styles and rename the copies #fullwidth, and change any width settings to suit your page layout.

Hope this helps.

noticed that some of my code was not displayed… will re-write it in a way that it won’t get ‘rejected’.

The page.php file of the them i am using has the following code at the top:
div with the id=content
I have changed this in my custom template page to:
div with the id=content and then class=fullwidth

hope that makes it clearer…

Hi there. this is really useful post and i am trying to apply the logic to a different theme.
The page.php file of the them i am using has the following code at the top:

I have changed this in my custom template page to:

however, where i am struggling, is how to add this fullwidth class in the right way to my ccs file?
I just know where or how to stick it in?

i imagine it would go somewhere in this area:
/* Deal with content (all styles used in index.php) */ #content {
text-align:left;
width:570px;
padding:5px 10px;
float:left;
margin-top:5px;
min-height:570px;

border-left:1px solid #e1e0e0;
}
html>body #content{width:570px;}
#content h1{
margin: 10px 0 10px 0;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-transform:uppercase;
text-shadow:#999999;
font-size:20px;
}

Desparate for help!

Don,

Agreed – not so easy with this theme.

Revolution 2 Album uses a background image to “frame” the images. Therefore it’s a bit trickier than with other themes to create a full width page – you need to create a new background image to deal with the wider page.

Using page.php would be starting point. Your best bet is to post a question over at http://www.studiopress/support

Revolution 2 Album is a thorn in my side. I definitely need a full page solution for this theme.

Hi Elliot,

The Revolution 2 Album templates are quite different to more traditional themes, so the method described above would need additional steps to create the same concept in this theme. If you provide some more info as to what you want (and a URL would be useful too) I can give you some pointers.

Hi – Thanks for posting this. I’m trying to add a full width page template to my Revolution 2 Album theme but am struggling. I tried following the steps here but have problems. As the core of the theme is photo based when i remove it, the whitespace just takes over!

Any ideas or help you can give me (e.g. an example full_page.php) would be awesome

Thanks!
