How’s your hosting service? Are you using Shared Hosting or a Dedicated Server? If Shared, I have sometimes experienced that slow Hosting can cause these sorts of problems.

Chris Coyier is a pretty well respected WordPress designer – he wrote “Digging Into WordPress” authors the site css-tricks.com and co-authors digwp.com (Digging Into WordPress).

He recommends several designs throughout his blogs and is a source with reliability.

I’d offer my own services, but depending on how complex I might not be the best person for the job.

I’ve been there actually – had the same problem with a site before and I about flipped out ha! Glad it’s resolved for ya.

Have a good one ??

Interesting… not sure why that would cause a conflict. Could have something to do with some of the recent version updates I suppose – if they have a website you might find some content there if you want to find a way to keep it working, or if they’re working on an update themselves.

That worked right there actually.

Thanks a bunch on that! Saved me a gigantic amount of time ??

I really do need to just buckle down and learn more too.

It’s really unfortunate that some of these plugins cause such conflicts. I’ve found them to be very rare, but usually when I get blank pages all of a sudden that’s the issue.

Out of curiosity, were you able to figure out which plugin it was exactly? If so, please share ??

I must be missing something as I’ve tried all these no with no luck, but it’s clear I’m writing something in my page the wrong way. I wish I had a live example.

Here’s an example of some of my code, very basic I believe. I’m trying to locate where to insert this to start on the 2nd post. I believe seeing this in the code would help me tremendously if possible.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
	<?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
	<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
	<div class="entry"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
</div>

No way to do this dynamically in CSS that I know of – you could definitely do it with jQuery though.

Would definitely need to see your page and view the source code to provide any insight.

If you are using any plugins they could be conflicting, though there are not many that would have that effect. I have experienced that kind of effect with some Caching plugins though.

Probably located… wp-content/themes/Thesis/sidebar.php

I recommend adding “Comment” commands throughout your page to separate it. As the spaces collapsing is built in I believe and according to W3C it’s proper mark-up to do it that way – perhaps even helping speed, but I don’t think that speed would change significantly (if at all).

For your PHP files and HTML files you can add comments as such…
<!– YOUR COMMENT HERE –>

For CSS
/* YOUR COMMENT HERE */

For Scripts
// YOUR COMMENT HERE, NO ENDING STATEMENT AND IT ONLY IS ADDED TO 1 LINE

Let me know if that helps.

Gave up and uninstalled the Total Cache plugin – too much headache at the moment

Another note, when I go to analyze this on my Host’s Control Panel an error comes up reading “Your CGI will be available in a few minutes. If, however, it is not, please enable CGI manually.” – it has been this way for roughly 8 hours.

It was 100% the DOCTYPE – I put a page wrap around it in the Home.php

Thanks for your help guys – couldn’t have done it (that quick) without ya ??

I spotted the error there – Put that “PageWrap” on the home.php right before it called the Header.php

kmessinger said it appeared fine in IE 9 – I’m running IE 9 where it looks like crud. I’ve cleared my cache, but still crud. Is there something else I need to do or I’m missing that will let me view it correctly?

Thanks for your help guys – I feel closer now – think it might be something in my IE 9 browser… hopefully.
