    Hi,

    I have a slight issue with my current theme Skirmish which I really like but my homepage which is also my post page has the text overlapping the sidebar. This only happens on the homepage and when there is more than one post on a page. If you click an individual post it’s fine.

    Can anyone work out why it’s doing this? I can’t seem to figure it out.

    My site is: https://marktiddy.co.uk

    Thank you

    Mark

  • Have you corrected the problem? I cannot see any text overlapping at the link you provided using Firefox or IE9.

    No I haven’t. I know it works in IE and Firefox just not in Chrome or Safari…it’s bizarre

    At lines 411-416 of style.css you find these lines:

    @media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){ #content {
    	margin: 0 10% 0 0;
    }} /*end safari hack */
    @media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){ .page #content, .single #content {
    	margin: 0 22% 0 0;
    }} /*end safari hack */

    If I change the 10% margin to 22%, there is no overlap. It is possible that this hack is no longer needed.

    Thank you!

    that’s fixed it in Safari but not in Chrome…hmm

    Odd – it worked for me in Chrome. Have you cleared your cache?

    I have now and it still does the same…I’ll give it a bit of time and see if that clears it…thank you for your help

    It looks like line 411 is still set at 10%.

    On mine lines 407 – 16 read

    }
    #content {
    margin: 0 22% 0 0;
    }

    #main .widget-area {
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 20%;

    Are you looking at wp-content/themes/skirmish/style.css?

    yes

    I can’t explain it. When I look at the css in Firebug, it is still set at 10% as before. Changing it to 22% removes the overlap.

    Perhaps you can search other css files for the 10%.

    It’s very strange, I’ve pulled up all the CSS files in the theme folder and can’t find any reference to 10% in any of them

    Are you using a WP caching plugin?

    Nope, I’m accessing the file directly through FTP

    If you have a WP caching plugin, you should clear it.
