The Morning After Sidebar issue

I have tested the website using firefox and chrome. The error appears in both.

Open the style.css file add the below code in this file and check..
I hope it will work for you

.widget {
margin: 0 0 1.4em;
width: 470px !important;
}

@piyush Pujara@ Please STOP advising people to just edit their theme’s stylesheets. This is poor advice.

Thank you for the fast reply.

My current code reads.

.widget { margin: 0 0 1.4em 0; }

I replaced it with the code you suggested but no difference was made to the format of the page.

Below is the whole widget section as it appears on the style.css

/** widgets **/

.widget { margin: 0 0 1.4em 0; }
/*.widget {margin: 0 0 1.4em; width: 470px !important;}*/
.widget a { color: #224970; }
.widget a:hover { color: #000; }
.widget ul, .widget ol { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
.widget ul li { padding: 0 0 0.3em 20px; margin: 0 0 0.5em 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #dadada; background: url(images/bg/postbullet.png) no-repeat 0 2px; }
.widget ol li { padding: 0 0 0.3em 10px; margin: 0 0 0.5em 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #dadada;  }

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

Ok, I have experimented with child themes a few times. I’ll create one now.

Any suggestions of css codes I can use to fix this?

It was working perfectly and I have no idea why all of a sudden this has happened.

I was not editing the website when this error occured.

I don’t know this theme well, so all I can suggest is that you try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting (or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser) to locate the CSS that you need to over-write.

In the meantime, and as this theme is made available for download by wordpress.com, I’ve tagged this topic for the attention of the .com folks. Hopefully, someone will be along shortly who understands the theme better than I do. ??

Thank you for your suggestions.

Although I have some things to try I am looking for as much advice as possible on this.

The site has just been relaunched at the weekend and 4 days later it already has an error.

I’ve figured it out. The LastFm widget was displaying the title of a song that I had recently listened to. The name of the song was quite long so therefore it went over the boundaries and then messed up the formatting.

So I have disabled the last fm widget for now…..although I’ll miss it.

Any suggestions on how I might restrict the lastfm plugin from doing that?

I’d suggest you try asking the LastFm plugin developer directly for help. I’m not sure exactly which one you’re using, but if it’s one in the www.ads-software.com plugin directory, there will be a link to the plugin’s support forum on the plugin info page.
