Ah so simple, stupid me. Many thanks. ??

Fixed! Many thanks.

Thanks Esmi, I appreciate you taking the time to have a look. I’ll give that a go and let you know how it works out.

Hope this works. ??

Getting a 500 – Internal Server Error message

I can’t get that link to load. Is there an alternative?

Oh that sounds interesting, thank you I’ll take a look and let you know how it works out.

That sounds more like it. I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the help, Dor.

I had a quick look but I’m not sure that’s what I’m looking for (excuse me if I’m wrong, php is a bit foreign to me still). I don’t want to change or reorder the category list, I want to display posts from only one category on the Main Index Template file. Will I be able to do that with the code on that page?

ok nevermind, I’ve backed everything up and I’m going to try rewriting. Thanks again dino.

Oh and if it helps I can provide the original css before I began editing (if it’s a mess I’ve made ;)). If I could just get the 3 columns set to the right widths that would be great.

Hi dinosrules,

Thanks for your reply.

This is my first time using wp and if I was coding it from scratch I would do so how you suggested above, however I have no idea how to reproduce that within the wp templates.

How would the divs position automatically without margins? If say I wanted a 10px space to the right of one column is there somewhere else in the wordpress admin I would specify that rather than putting it onto the stylesheet?

Hi,

Thanks for your post. In the end I found there were two seperate classes controlling these. I got the columns all set to the correct size but for some reason they all now seem to be sitting one after another on the page, rather than sitting side by side. Anyone know what could cause this?
