Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: rule of thumb for wp cssMy rule of thumb would be to delete the CSS you’ve currently got and start over with the default templates. Once you’re back to the drawing board, try changing some things gradually and refresh your browser so that you can see those changes happening. If you do something completely wrong, you’ll notice immediately. Sometimes the best way to learn this stuff is to make a lot of mistakes and correct them.
My other advice would be to post a link to your site and CSS so that visually your problem can be identified.

In reply to: Alter width of the text areaI don’t use these templates, but you probably want to alter the #content width to greater than 600px. Also, post a link to your css rather than posting it all right here. Helps with reading the thread.

In reply to: strtolower (?)Thanks Skippy. I needed this to impact all categories so I went back to the source of
the_category()
. Here’s what I did:I fixed it by hacking the templates-function-category.php file. If you capitalize your categories normally, but want them lowercase only on posts like me (mainly for tags) add this line to the file:
$category->cat_name = strtolower($category->cat_name);
Around line 75 where you see these lines of code (hack is in bold):
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$category->cat_name = $category->cat_name;
$category->cat_name = strtolower($category->cat_name);
if (0 < $i) $thelist .= $separator . ' ';If this breaks something, I’ll post it back here. I checked it and so far everything seems ok. Hope this helps someone.

In reply to: No Div adds WP Strayhorn.@ Root: I briefly tried to do what you are suggesting. I’m not really paying a lot of attention, but the dl is not ‘filling the gap’ as should be expected. BTW How does one contact you? Can’t find anything at your site… infoATjasonspageDOTnet.
@tg: Thanks for the info.
