Horizontal scroll issue

no scroll issues on the ‘persi..’site;

on the ‘tradi..’ site, possibly caused by the positioning of:

#site-description { width:50%; text-align:left; clear: both; float: left; position:absolute; margin-left: 600px; margin-top: -14px; }

or more specific by the width:50%; – replace with width:330px;

just out of curiosity:
how can a change to the styles, which does not happen by chance, lead to: ‘suddenly developed horizontal scroll issues’ ?

The persimmontour.com site did have a horizontal scroll but it went away. Can this be browser specific? I use IE9, Chrome, Dragon, and firefox. Must be like the car problem, when you get to the professional at the shop the problem disappears.

Clearly I’m a newbie and by ‘suddenly’ it refers to suddenly I noticed it more than suddenly it occurred. What do you mean by change to the styles? If you mean changing the style.css file, no intentional changes were made that I know of. Maybe something I did caused a change but I have learned not to touch the style.css file.

I am unable to find the #site-description code in style.css exactly as you indicated but I did find this below and you will see that the width is not 50%, so probably I am finding the wrong #site-description:

#site-description {
clear: right;
float: right;
font-style: italic;
margin: 14px 0 18px 0;
width: 220px;
}

Thanks so much for the help and the patience. I apologize for being so dense at this but one day I’ll learn.

the styles, i mentioned, are in style-weaver.css which (as far as i can guess – i am not too familiar with that theme) is the dynamically generated style file;
you might possibly be able to change that from within the theme options section in the dashboard (?)

the theme seems to have its own forum at https://wpweaver.info/forum/
