In the last months I saw a few new blogs coming like prawnsonthebarbie.be, tmclssns.net, pieterbaert.be/blog and davypeleman.be. All of them are making use of Kubrick 2 – better known as K2 as there theme.
Because of the fact that the standard K2 style is a bit basic and blue, “How do I make my own style for K2?” is a question I heard a few times. The answer isn’t that difficult and because I couldn’t find a nice tutorial online already, I decided to make one myself.
- The moment you want to make your own K2 style, you managed to install K2 on your WordPress already, so I’m skipping those steps, check codex.wordpress.org for more info
- First you have to find your K2 theme folder at yourwordpresssite/wp-content/themes/K2 there you will find the general stylesheet style.css and a map called images/
- In this folder (yourwordpresssite/wp-content/themes/K2) you will also find a folder called /styles, here you can make a new folder for your first own style, let’s say myownstyle
- copy the general stylesheet and the map images to your new made folder
- Go in your Adminpanel to Presentation » K2 Options, here you can select your new new style in the dropdown.
- Once you have done this you can start pimping this stylesheet without having to worry about messing up the general stylesheet. Your new stylesheet will override all the style-elements and classes from the general stylesheet.
- !!! Just be carefull not to delete some elements of your new stylesheet, if you do so, the elements of the general stylesheet will be used. If you want no border, just set border: none; instead of deleting it
- And after some playing in css and adding some images you have your own K2 style,
Enjoy!
