Hello Esmi,
Thanks for your answer. I tried it but without success.
Could you give me the precise code to add? (I’m not that good in programming languages!!)
Many thanks, in advance.

My blog loading is ok now after disabling the Minify function in the settings of W3 Total Cache.
Thanks to the people at W3edge for their good advice.

Hello,
Thx for answering. The problem was : Nothing was at the right place, images, text, the page width was totally different, the white background of the theme became transparent, and the sidebar was I don’t know where… this is was I called “a display in a mess”.
After emptying all the caches in W3C and in my browser it was ok again but a while later the problem was coming back.
The support in W3C told me maybe I should disable the Minify css function. I’ll test it now.
I’ll post the result here, in case it could help someone else….
(**WP 3.2.1 / twenty Eleven theme with a child theme / https://www.hazlotopics.com/blog/)

That’s great.
I think I got it now.
You’re right : never forget Firebug!!
Thanks a lot.
All the Best.

After searching through older topics I found a code given by Esmi telling to modify the block starting with #sidebar nav but I can’t find it anywhere in the style.css of my parent theme (2011).
Any idea?

Thanks again

Hello Esmi
Sorry, I’m a beginner with code.
When finding this topic I thought you gave the solution to my problem but…
I installed a child theme for twenty eleven, that’s ok.
Now I’d like to modify the background color of the main sidebar.
But I can’t find in the parent theme’s style.css any block starting with #sidebar nav that I could change as explained above and add to the style.css of my child theme.
Would you give me a hand?

The url of my blog is :

Many thanks for your help and for your involvment here as well.

Thanks again Samuel for your help and advices.
I’ve been finally able to create a proper child theme as explained.
But till now i do hesitate with removing the home button. Think I’ve learned my lesson!..

I did it. It worked!
Thanks a lot Samuel. I can now switch back to my previous theme.
This was my first big fear with WP!!!
I’ll be more careful now…..

I did it the right way and everything is fine now.
Many Thx to all of you.

Maybe another little question if you are still there?
If I try to do the same for another page it works up to the point where I try to remove the sidebar.
I don’t know how to change your code
<?php if (!is_page(4)) get_sidebar(); ?> which is now in the page Template.
I tried this
<?php if (!is_page(4)(5)) get_sidebar(); ?>
and this
<?php if (!is_page(4)) get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php if (!is_page(5)) get_sidebar(); ?>
But there is a syntax error then.
Any idea?
Thx Joseph

It works perfectly. Many thanks Joseph for the time you took to give me a hand.
On your blog I saw a pic a Simon Rattle. Must have been a great moment. I’d like to listen to one of his concerts too.
Thx again.

In the Page Template maybe you’ll find a line looking like :
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
If you remove it there will be no sidebar anymore in the author pages.
But do a BACKUP, before any removing in your code!!!
I’m not a specialist but maybe it can help.
Regards

…And here is the Page Template code, in case it could help.
Thx.

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<div class=”postmetadata”><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘(Edit this entry)’, ”, ”); ?></div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(‘before=<p class=”link-pages”>Pages: &after=</p>’); ?>

<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div><!– end .post –>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>
<div class=”post”>
<h2 class=”title”>Not Found</h2>
<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here. Contact me or yourself</p>
</div><!– end .post –>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!– end #content –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hello again. Sorry that I’ve been long to answer. Actually I’ve been fixing some of the errors noted in the Validator report (mainly quotes to cancel). And the blog page worked good again.
I don’t paste from Word. I have some active plugins but I don’t see anything that could interfer here.
But recently I tried to reorganize my posts. Maybe this caused the increase of those quotes.
I will look more often at the Validator report. Many thanks to you for this idea.
Many thanks for having taken time to help.
Best.

Many thanks for answering and for caring of my trouble.
I’ll try some changes with the tags.
Oops! So many errors!! I’ll need a hole week to fix all that!
Is there a good plugin that could help? Something to debug, or cleaning the cache?..
Thx.
All the best.
