After upgrading the theme we’ve been using, a couple things broke, and strangely enough, going back to the old version doesn’t fix it, which is why the sidebar on the right has things out of order and not functioning entirely correctly. Some of these issues are known, even though they weren’t listed on the front page of the theme’s homepage. I expect some days of quirkiness before things are adjusted appropriately.
The same goes for all the lowercase titles – I need to manually go in and update some of the code, so the annoying lowercase nonsense goes away. What’s with lowercase titles and blogs, anyway?
Update: Lowercase issues are now fixed. The sidebar widgets issue was alleviated by installing the non-Redoable Sidebar Modules (SBM) plugin, and copying the contents of the Redoable modules folder into the SBM modules folder. At least for now, the page looks okay, though I’m hoping a patch for Redoable fixes the need for this hack.

I am trying to get this theme work for a little project of mine..
This might be helpful, thanks.
Can you explain how you fixed the lowercase issues?
Also, I cannot seem to get the unique styling (IE – the orange highlighting and “NEW”) working.
What’s the correct method of use?
The lowercase “issue” is actually intentionally coded in by Redoable’s author. I’m not a fan of everything defaulting to lowercase, so I removed the code that makes headers and such appear that way.
If you want to prevent things from showing up in all lowercase, edit the style.css file included with Redoable, and find the lines that say:
text-transform: lowercase;
You can either remove these lines entirely, or comment them out, in case you want to easily change them back in the future. If you opt for the latter, simply replace them with:
/* text-transform: lowercase; */
As far as the orange highlighting for the “new” section goes, you want to use something like this:
<p class=’new’>The text inside the orange “new” highlight.</p>
You’ll find additional highlighting types/colors described at the Redoable homepage.
