I just installed this plugin on a site using infinity pro theme and ran into this issue. Thanks @curtismchale for saving me a bit of time digging through the code to fix this.

Yup, that did it. Thanks so much!!!

Try clicking on the big yellow advertise button on one of the pages under “Our Shows”.

Found the issue, turns out a plugin I activated in April declares some DONOTCACHE constants.

Try turning on debug mode in general settings and reading the results in the page source to make sure everything’s working correctly. Also try across various browsers. I had a similar issue and doing this let me see that DONOTCACHE constants were being declared by another plugin.

Okay, I’ve been messing with the settings some more according to the specs here
https://www.wpcub.com/w3-total-cache-settings/ and reloading /blog in FF after saving each page of settings changes.

Before moving to the next page of settings, I refresh the /blog page a few times to see what happens. On first refresh, I get the newer page, but then I get the older one from April on the subsequent reloads. This happened each time I saved new settings. No matter what, the newer version would not stick. Then I saw there was a debug mode that adds info to the page comments and there’s apparently a DONOTCACHE constant being defined somewhere. But the site has been cached definitely on April 12 and according to other browsers, as recently as today.

Oh okay, you just needed to be more specific by including the li tag. So…

li.search {
float: right;
padding-top: 6px;
margin-right: 0;
}

It looks like you have some custom css throwing things off on the search page. Specifically this…

.search {
float: right;
padding-top: 6px;
}

Absolutely, thanks for making that clear.

You can create a custom.css file with the changes you need and just make sure that it is linked after all of the other stylesheets for your theme. That way you leave the original theme’s CSS in tact. I could give more css specific suggestions if you post a link.

Your sidebar has its position set to absolute. When it’s absolute, the parent container doesn’t stretch to contain it. This is so that you can position it wherever you want without affecting any other elements. Here are the CSS overrides you need (to override existing CSS, put this at the end after all of the other styles) so that the parent container stretches with the sidebar.

#main {
overflow: hidden; /* needed to stretch parent container since children are floated */
}

#primary.content-area {
width: 68%;
float: left;
}

.site-main .sidebar-container {
position: static;
float: right;
width: 30%;
height: auto;
}

.sidebar .entry-header, .sidebar .entry-content, .sidebar .entry-summary, .sidebar .entry-meta {
padding: 0;
}

The property already in the stylesheet is “max-width”, you also need to add a property of “width” and set it to 100%.

They seem similar but perform different functions.

When I go to https://www.madsoninterimsolutions.com/blog/ I see the standard first ‘Hello World’ post there.

That inline style is probably either hardcoded somewhere in the theme or is being added dynamically with javascript. Either way it would require some deeper investigation into the theme files to remove it.

Hi Taaron, could you post a link to the site?
