Theme goofed up after WP2.0 upgrade, help please?

Check the political compass image, either delete it or make it smaller and see if the problem corrects it self.

Usually when a sidebar drops to the bottem it’s because of content in the sidebar or the text section is too large.

Thanks, Marc–I gave that a try, since I had suspected I had an oversize image. It didn’t work, though. I noticed that “previous pages” worked just fine–the sidebars ar up where they are supposed to be. They’re just hosed on the main page…

Next guess was removing the “author info”, which only showed up on the main page, but that didn’t do it either.

I’m curious about what you meant when you said “the text section is too large”. I set the last several posts to draft status, going back about a week. Again, I had no problems with the layout until this morning.

I am not exactly sure if this is the problem for the layout getting messed up, but its definitely a problem, so you should check this.

Scrolling down to the bottom of the page, I found this:

Currently absorbing:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: amm_getmedia() in /home/madmblue/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/ragiels-dream/sidebar_right.php on line 40

I am not sure what is causing that, if its some plugin you are using or some other hack ..

Hi skulled–yup, I was shutting off plugins when you came in, and hadn’t cleaned out the amazon media manager call in the sidebar yet. It’s gone now.

Everything is working great on subsequent pages–it’s just the darn first page that’s hosed.

hey,

can you paste the index.php file that you have in your theme here https://pastebin.com and then provide the associated link here.

I think that is what is sort of messed up, you body content is getting executed before the left block is for some reason.

And thats why your whole layout is messed over, but on subsequent pages, the left block executes first, then the body block and finally the right block, so they work fine.

Sure would appreciate it if you spot something, skulled.

In your stylesheet, you first need to change this:

#body_block {
width: 490px;
min-height: 1024px;
background: #transparent;
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
margin-left: 140px;
padding: 5px 4px;
border: solid #999999;
border-width: 0 1px;
}

to:

#body_block {
width: 490px;
min-height: 1024px;
background: transparent;
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
margin-left: 140px;
padding: 5px 4px;
border: solid #999999;
border-width: 0 1px;
}

that might be a problem with the rest of the style information not getting recognized

removed the #, but still no change ??

looking into it, will let you know as soon as I can see what the problem is

Alright, finally I cracked it down ..

The problem is with that post. In that post you have a <div class="content" />, which is not allowed. DIV tags require a closing tag, and since no closing tag can be found, you other divs below that are getting mixed up, and closing at irregular places.

Edit that post, and you should be good. If that doesn’t work as well, then let me know and I will see if I can dig up something else. But my bet is, that post is causing the problem, because that post page is the only other page that I can find the problem with.

skulled:

you are fantastic; thank you SO much–IT WORKED!THANK YOU! ??

Now, if I could only figure out how that div got in there in the first place. I think I may have posted that entry with a program I’m trying out called Elicit. Will have to look at that a little more.

This forum is great.

glad to be of help ??
