    I’ve got to apologize in advance for my general ignorance about scripting, I’ve been constructing a site based on examples by Jonathan Wold and the responses to other posts here. However, now I’ve run into a problem that I can’t figure out how to solve.

    My problem is with how the archived posts are displayed — it doesn’t follow the same format in my “style.css”. Basically, the sidebar which should be on the left side shows up at the bottom of the page instead.

    Here’s how the front page looks:
    https://www.kingofrpgs.com/wordpress/

    Here’s how the archives look:
    https://www.kingofrpgs.com/wordpress/?m=200902

    Can anyone suggest what file I need to modify to display the archived posts with the sidebar on the left like the front page? Thanks, any help would be awesome!

    Hi

    The problem probably is this…
    On the wide page is the line
    <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

    On the front page are the lines
    <div id=”contentContainer” class=”withSidebar”>
    <div id=”content”>

    Most likely, if you change the wide page coding to the same as the front page coding it will fix your problem.

    The tricky part is you have to add an additional closing </div> tag for the contentContainer Div you are adding.

    It’s supposed to go just before this line
    <div class=”rightColumnContainer”> on the wide page

    Make sure you make a backup copy of the file you are about to change before changing anything, so you can put it back as it was if your changes don’t work.
