HALLELUJAH!!!! i checked it on somebody elses browser and it finally works! thanks so much for your help andrew!!! sometimes you don’t see the forest for the trees…

i also removed one sidebar widget after the other to check if any of them are responsible for the column being pushed down, but it makes no difference.

did that already, so funny, every time you run this page it throws different errors…

all the attribute, category tag and bad value errors are original WP code, so i’m disregarding it. “Element div not allowed as child of element span in this context.” is caused by the social share widget which i disabled to see if that’s the issue but it’s not.

i fixed the unclosed div error but it’s still not resolving my issue.

for example, visit https://suited.myomnipod.com/mike/diabetes-on-trial/ but it’s really any article page.

i just restored WP 3.5 and it’s the same, so it’s not caused by the update to 3.5.1. i so badly wished for that to be the fix…

sorry, i forgot to specify, you need to drill into an article, it works fine on the home page. i know that originally 2011 does not have a side bar on the single article, but i found a workaround and it worked just fine until recently. is it possible that the last WP update screwed it up?

thanks for looking into this!

this is currently my css code, i’m using \9 at the end to target IE8:

#primary {
float: left;
margin: 0 -26.4% 0 0;
margin: 0 -250px 0 0\9;
width: 100%;
width: 1000px\9;
}

#content {
margin: 0 25% 0 5%;
margin: 0 200px 0 30px\9;
width: 68%;
width: 650px\9;
}

#secondary {
border-left: 1px dotted #999;
float: right;
margin-right: 3%;
margin-right: 20px\9;
width: 18.8%;
width: 180px\9;
padding-left:2%;
padding-left: 15px\9;
}

thanks andrew, i tried that as well but it makes no difference. i tried using pixels instead of % but again, it’s not working. it also makes no difference if i remove all margin and padding. i’m not a css novice at all and i’m really at my wits end here ??

thanks WPyogi, i found one unclosed “a” tag, but that didn’t solve the problem. all other errors that show up are unrelated to the div column issue. any other ideas are really appreciated!

riyaz got back to me via email pointing out that the metrics would reset if i changed the permalink, so that resolved my question.

nevermind, accidentally posted this to the wrong plugin. sorry about that!

i forgot that i used a different author page than the page that comes with wordpress by default. you need this line in your code to show the avatar:

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( ‘user_email’ ), apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_author_bio_avatar_size’, 130 ) ); ?>

note, the size of 130 is specific to my design, you can change that to whatever you need it.

also, i found out the hard way (meaning trial and error for quite a while) that in order for the avatar to show, you need to associate it with an article, otherwise you will only see whatever default avatar you set in the ‘settings/discussion’.

i hope this helps!

thanks for the heads up, in that case i just wait.

i posted this on another forum and was able to fix it.

hi gary,

thanks so much for your detailed response, it is very hard to find a plugin that is supported as well as your and therefore even more appreciated. you pointed me in the right direction, i forgot i changed the author page at some point to a different layout and as soon as i implemented the original WP code for the image it worked just fine.

thanks also for explaining the thought behind the linking structure, i will look into the custom filter you mentioned.

thanks again,
anita
