The footer is white.

It seems to look ok in IE but in Firefox the comments stick out on the rhs of the page.

If this is your issue it can be rectified by changing your stylesheet ( style.css ? in your theme directory.

As a starter change this section

.widecolumn {
padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
margin: 5px 0 0 45px;
width: 450px;
}

and edit the margin: 5px 0 0 45px; to say
margin: 5px 0 0 15px;

If you want a permanent home page (not like a standard blog) then look at https://www.semiologic.com/software/static-front/

1) the actual document of a blog post is created as the visitor comes to the site. The click on the url causes wordpress to take the post content from the database, put it into the theme template and apply the stylesheet.

….. so the robots instructions are not in the post.

If you look in the theme files you will see the php code to create the meta tags in the page. They are probably in a file called header.php

2) I assume you mean directories when you say catalogue. The robots.txt file should be in the root directory of your blog – that is to say the directory called when the url https://www.yourdomain.com is clicked

Is the site new or is this an error which has suddenly happened?

Are the ‘missing’ posts merely saved or ‘published’ in your edit screen. A post has to be ‘published’ by selecting the radio button in the edit screen for it to show up externally. The categories will then also show up.

Is this a new error following upgrade to 2.0.3 or is this a new site?

Are the ‘missing’ posts merely saved or ‘published’. A post has to be ‘published’ in the edit screen for it to show up externally.

Assuming your root directory is ‘home’, the plugin directory on a normal install is at

/home/wp-content/plugins/

To upload depends upon your hosting provider and whether wordpress itself has permissions to upload or if you need to use an ftp program.

Look in the theme editor (and you will see the php files that control the template.

You probably have one called header.php – this will be the one to edit and insert the link … if you are comfortable editing php files.

Both browsers interpret the web standards in different ways so a web site will always have subtle differences when viewed in each browser.

Sometimes a small interpretation difference cascades into large differences by the time the screen has finished rendering.

When you are building a site it is a good idea to regularly review how it appears in the major browsers if you want to cater for all visitors.

If you provide the url of the site other members can attempt to give more detail concerning your issues.

Have a look at the authors site where he explains how to customise the theme.

The tags are probably added by a filter – wpautop

See https://www.uberdose.com/journal/archives/2004/07/17/mime-wordpress-plugin/ for an idea on how to disable it on a post by post basis – extreme but wpautop gets in the way of correct xhtml many times.

Here is a quick example to start you off. You reaally need to know about css to do what you are seeking to do. If you don’t know css I suggest you switch to a template that already has 2 sidebars.

In your sidebar.php file you need to define two divs

<div class=”left-sidebar”> and <div class=”right-sidebar”>

and include the menu item entries to be displayed within these divs

Then in the css file put an entry such as

/* Sidebars */
.left-sidebar, .right-sidebar {
font-size:10pt;
position:absolute;
width:150px;
}

.left-sidebar {
left:5px;
}

.right-sidebar {
right:5px;
}

Admin log in

Goto manage, pages, delete on the appropriate page record.

The gap between the header and the content is due to the style for the header in the stylesheet.

Look at the entry in the stylesheet as below

#header {
color:#444;
margin:0;
padding:10px;
background:#fff;
height: 150px;
}

and change the height line from 150px to say 100px.

The content is set as below

#content {
margin:20px 0 20px 0px;
padding:0;
float: right;
width: 576px;
text-align: left;
}

which means it is to float to the right with a width of 576px. As the screen is wider than the sidebar and the content width of 576px you get a gap between them.

The issue shows up in IE but not Firefox.
