Mailchimp widget destroys columnyness

    Hello,

    I am at https://www.outsource-typing.com.

    I didn’t really know what to call this as I have absolutely no idea what has actually happened to my page! Argh!

    Here is what I did: installed Mailchimp for WordPress Lite, then, as advised, added widget to Main Sidebar. (What I wanted to do was have a newsletter sign-up on homepage, which worked and was right-aligned moving everything left :0 But then… well, see below).

    Silly me, then I decided I didn’t want to add it after all and deleted everything (woman’s prerogative). But now all my text has been moved to a left-hand column and there’s a huge white space where once the text was lovely and filled the whole page ?? How can I restore it back so my text on all pages is justified and fills the whole page?

    Help much appreciated, is there some code I now need to remove or something else I need to do?

    Thanks in advance, F

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    I’m suspicious that it’s because of the Mailchimp for WordPress Lite thing I applied. Anything else I can try?

    There is no magic bullet in these situations. This is just the start of basic troubleshooting – a process of elimination deliberately designed to locate the root cause as quickly as possible by first removing the most obvious and common culprits via a series of (often) temporary steps.

    Your theme & plugin settings are saved in your database and should be retained for future use.

    What if I just update? I have a theme update, will that work to reset everything?

    Please try the steps I suggested.

    I’ve deactivated all plugins, the whole lot, and it still looks the same. What now?

    And the other steps?

    How do I switch to default theme?

    Via Appearance -> Themes.

    I unnecessarily skipped a step and renamed the plugins folder and back again; when all I needed to have done was switch themes for a second and back and now it looks A-OK again.

    Thanks Esmi, you’re a star ??

    Glad to hear that you got this sorted. ??
