Sadly I did not.

Studioxpressbr,

Do you have a site I can look at? Do you know what version of jQuery you’re using?

Thanks Esmi,

It’s a theme-specific issue. Everything works fine in Twenty Eleven. Not sure why just yet, but looking.

I know right? What gives?

I figured out that if I change the theme to twentyeleven, posts show up in the results as I’d expect, so I must be doing something wrong in my search.php template. I’ll provide an update when I figure it out.

Hey there,

First, you should never have multiple elements with the same ID. Your loop is creating posts that all have the same ID of “postblock”. You should change that to a class.

If I’m not mistaken, it seems as though you want to make the postarea div all gray, so to do that you can float that div left and add a background color:

.postarea {
    background-color: gray;
    float: left;
}

And then if you want to make your posts have a white background, you could add some margin and change the 100% width like so:

If you change postblock to a class

.postblock {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 10px;
    width: inherit;
}

If you don’t

#postblock {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 10px;
    width: inherit;
}

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks!

I suspect that what’s happening is that when you view your site on other computers, those computers have different monitor widths than your computer, or you’re viewing the site it a browser window that’s narrower than what you’re used to seeing.

Your main blog content area (#page) is set to have a maximum width of 1000 pixels, which means that with any browser window that is wider than 1000 pixels, it will show your background for the extra space not taken up by the blog content. You can see what this looks like by adjusting your own browser window.

If you wanted to ALWAYS have at least a certain amount of your background image show on the sides, you could increase the padding on your #page div, but beware: for users that have narrow browsers, they may be more interested in your content that your background image.

Hope this helps!

Hi ladybajan,

Do you have a link you can share so that we may have a look at the issue you’re referring to?

Hi karenhymer, welcome to WordPress!

Have you had a look yet at the Using Themes page in the documentation?

There are instructions on how to add new themes using various methods, hopefully that will help.

Cheers,

@redlinemd,

I’m getting the same problem. I’ve created my theme template correctly, but the drop down doesn’t show up in the Page Write panel.

When I switch to the default wp theme, the issue goes away. Switching back does nothing.

Also, I’m using the WP-Framworks theme as starting point.

any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: For some reason the syntax in the WP-Framework files didn’t include ‘Name’ when naming templates. As in:
/* Template Name: test */

vs.

/* Template: test */

Hope this helps for others.
