WP should “wrap” your text but most of the time, there are code errors. I would suggest going to validator.w3.org and validating your site.

I would start by fixing the errors found at validator.w3.org

You da man, neon. Thank you!

I only found #content h2 { color:#(hex color); in the layout.css. When i add it to the spring_flavour.css nothing happens, nothing turns white (#FFFFFF). Anything else i could try. Has to be getting the color from somewhere. Thanks

Glad i could be of some help. Yeah, went into the css files and changed float: to right and left. When on “left” the navi is switched to the left side and is arranged right. When on “right” the navi is switched to the right side and is reversed. Maybe i should flip the code around in the header.php file?

Ok, i figured this out (not sure if this is the way you wanted it done but this is how i switched navi’s to the top in blix).
Go into your theme folder then open header.php file. Find the line that has <!–Navigation–>. Move this entire entry (all the way down to the closing div and <!–end navigation–>) to the top of the header.php file, just below <div id=”container” line (the actual line is longer). Save and refresh your browser. Now you should see that you navigation is at the top. The 1 thing i am still working on is, mine, has reversed the order of the navigation (ie was Home, About, Contact, FAQ, Forum, Profile and Photos. Now is it reversed ie Photos, profile, forum, faq, contact, about and home). If anyone knows how to make this back to the first ordered list, please let me know.

I too am using this blix theme and trying the same thing you are. I am using the semiologic static front page and the blix “home” page needs to be renamed/moved. Please, lets keep each other informed as to how we make this work. So i could not offer any help at this present time.

So, your wiki is NOT a wordpress section?

Great. I wonder why i can not get permalinks working?

I too am having the exact same problems. I have my blog at https://www.mytimewithgod.net
I have the mod_rewrite module loaded in Apache (phpinfo file at /phpinfo.php)
I am using WP 2.0.1 (WP is supposed to do everything for me)
I start with the default permalink structure (ugly links) — EVERYTHING WORKS FINE!!!
Everytime I try to update my permalink structure via the Admin Panel of WP it writes the following info to my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
I have confirmed from another user that they too have the whitespace at the end of their htaccess file and it IS working for them.
I have tried the following suggestions from the WP Codex:

From Codex:
1. If you leave whitespace at the end of your .htaccess file, it may make all pages on your site unavailable — So I removed all whitespace. (Everytime WP updates the file it always adds whitespace, so I make sure to remove it.)

2. I edited my wp-includes/vars.php file to say — $is_apache = 1

3. I edited my httpd.config file to say:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

4. I deleted the contents of my .htaccess file and re-created it (by updating the permalink structure).

NONE of those up above helped me.

I have tried the following suggestions from other users:

1. I blanked out the .htaccess file (if I delete it WP doesn’t create a new one; WP didn’t even create one on fresh install I had to make it myself)
2. I went to the permalink page in Admin Panel of WP and chose Date and Name based. That is supposed to give me the structure /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/.
3. After doing that I check my .htaccess file again. My text editor tells me the file was updated by WP so I know it is being written to. When I look at the contents of the .htaccess file it just rewrites the same info I had before: (in otherwords nothing changed)
You always get 404 errors with permalinks. Can anyone help?

Well, at a total loss now. Tried everything on the link to the codex you posted (again)->still broke. No errors in the apache log that stand out. Tried 1 other thing as that was to add different rewrite rules (manually) and this did not work either. Confused!

Good to know that someone else has the white space and it works. I do have it set for default now but can set it to the other if you would like to test drive it?
Edit..Set to numeric for testing. Let me know…Edit

OK, got mod_rewrite verified as loaded and restarted apache2. Still can not get permalinks working. Now, looking at the htaccess file, it was exactly like this:
#BEGIN WorPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php
</IfModule>
#END WordPress
Now, when updating permalink structure, it looks like this:
#BEGIN WorPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php
</IfModule>

#END WordPress
Notice the white space at the end. So, i know this file is getting written to because of the change. Problem is, i also read here on the forums, that the white space is not good and will cause it not to work. Any ideas?

OK, here are the weird apache2 files:
httpd file:
# generated from APACHE_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2
Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf

loadmodule.conf file:

Can anyone help?

Well, i got a little further ?? Seems novell has done some modifications to this distro. There isn’t a section in httpd of LoadModule; this section says include /etc.sysconfig.d/LoadModule and this file has the LoadModules inside it. Also this file refers to /etc/sysconfig/apache2 where you also insert the mod_rewrite.so file along with its file path. So now, all entries in the WP admin panel are now missing the /index.php/blah/blah. It simply has /blah/blah, no index.php. And it still does not work and to get it back to working state, i must select the default permalink format. Like i said, got some where but not working with custom permalinks
