Click here to download the modified theme Chunk by Automattic with sidebar at homepage
IF you need further modification.. pls do comments..and i will do my level best to help you.
this is great! and exactly what i wanted, but if i use this new modified theme, will my css changes disappear? sorry, i don’t really understand!
actually..i also don’t understand really what exactly to do once i’ve downloaded the new theme. sorry, i’m new at this. haha!
Hi,
if you install my modified theme then obviously ur previous changes will be overlapped..so pls take backup of ur previous theme/css. After installing this modified theme u can use ur previous changes there..
Om
how do we upload the modified theme?
Hi docmate..
better u take backup of ur previous theme…… then remove it from ur host..then install the modified one… and u will be done..
let me know if u have any other question..

Hi,
I’m trying to use this modified theme, but I’m having issues with my Twitter widget not displaying properly. Also, I cannot seem to get the custom header image code from your previous Chunk post to work. Help?

I’ve been trying to use the header code provided in your previous article on Chunk theme customization: http://allaboutbasic.com/2012/04/07/theme-chunk-by-automattic-css-and-style-sheet-modification-modify-and-change-site-titlepost-title-post-font-colorsfont-sizewidgets-commentslinks-and-more/
Also, Twitter seems to be displaying fine today…so that issue is okay.
Thanks for the help.
HI,
Nice to know Twitter is working…but..would u mind to tell which header code u used from my previous article?
Om
Sorry – using code listed under #9.
Hi,just checked your site..it seems you have successfully implemented that Header css code to use Image in the header of Chunk theme..
Om
Yes, I think I got it working finally.
Thank you!
This is exactly what I am looking for! I downloaded the modified theme, but now what? Really not sure what to do next. I am not using the self hosted version of WordPress. I used the hosted service from WordPress.com. Does that make a difference?
Hi Scatterpost…
you can’t use that modified theme in wordpress.com. You can use that only if you have own hosting..
Om
so this can only be used in wordpress.org blogs? even if i have my own domain? sorry, i’m dumb and confused!!!
Hi,
yes…this change is for wordpress.org (if you have ur own hosting)
Kind Regards
Om
What happened to my comments? They got deleted?
I just wanted to thank you for providing this help with the Chunk theme and to ask how to get the sidebar to show up on all the pages.
Thank you!

I think there might be something wrong with this Comments section. This is my 4th time replying with my site url and it never posts to your site.
My url is wp.3theorymusic.com
Hi realdoyle
I think you are searching for this code
** Home page Content Section width and Sidebar Widget section width of Theme Chunk
.home div#contents #widgets .widget {
float: left;
padding: 80px 7px !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
.home div#contents #widgets {
float: left;
width: 235px !important;
}
.home #post {
width: 752px !important;
}
Thank you! This definitely. Helped!
