I have searched my ass off but I need a script that will take make a Wordpress theme facilitate languages that write right to left. I have found some plugins that will enable RTL for the text only. I need a solution that will also make the theme layout RTL. I need it to be a simple solution that even a cave man could do. Please let me know if you know of any solutions or you are able to code something.


I pay in genuine digital US dollars.
 


Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you just code the theme layout the way you wanted things positioned?

Regarding RTL text, pretty sure this CSS property will work:

div
{
direction: rtl
}

Are you doing this in Hebrew or something? I used to work for an Israeli company, so I've had to do a few of sites RTL in the past. I'm not sure if this is helpful at all for you, but feel free to PM me for ideas or whatever.
 
Well this is where I need some help. Where exactly do I place that code and will it make the entire theme RTL? Meaning will the sidebar be on the left instead of the right? Will the main nav be on the right with the home link on the farthest right? I know it will mess up some images but I can fix that.

Thanks for your suggestion I will look into it farther. I found what you mentioned in my search but it seems over my head when it comes to actually applying it.
 
No, it will only make your text right to left.

Look in your CSS code and see if theres already a body rule, if not then make one.

body {
direction: rtl;
}

EDIT: If there is then just add in 'direction: rtl;' before the }
 
Thanks. Yea I figured out that it was a css style. Everything looks great in Firefox but stupid IE is pissing me off. My test theme is at 40k.us. What I am working on is the category nav that is just below the header. IE is pushing the drop down menu off align whereas Firefox shows it as it should be. I have a separate ie7 css file so that is what I am hacking on. Pretty much any other modification is going well except for the cat nav.

Thanks again for everyones help.
 
What was it in the source you edited to make it do that? Or if you don't know then what have you edited so far?

Can you post your header.php file? (WP Admin > Appearance > Editor > Select header.php and paste the code here)

EDIT: Btw its screwed up in IE and Firefox for me (FF 3.0.8)
