OK it was pointless linking before as maintenance mode was on, but now it’s https://timeout-retreats.co.uk/

Thanks in advance for any pointers

Oh good, I’m relieved it’s not me being rubbish – it is actually hard to track down. Right, I am going to first of all take the menu out of the equation and see whether that sorts out my IE10 problem (which is the sidebar dropping to the bottom) and if it does I’ll replace the menu somehow… not sure how!

Oh this is hard work and my brain hurts now

Thanks Esmi x

Wow, how did I get the child theme idea so wrong! What a numpty.

So I find the relevant bit of CSS that I want to change and copy that section into the child bit and make my amends?

What difference does it make if I do it the way I’ve done it, just out of interest?

Thank you so much for your time on this, I really want to learn how to do it right

One more thing – I think the validator errors are being thrown up by the menu – should I scrap it and start again?

Oh now I am so confused. Thank you for your input – I think I followed the instructions when creating a child theme – and I don’t even know where the @import line is. I’m just doing as I’ve been told by wordpress aren’t I?

I love using this, I have felt it very user friendly up to now, it is only IE10 that I seem to be having a problem with.

I amended the main content in the user friendly interface bit on the pressworks theme.

Thanks for the ideas but I still don’t know where to go next.

Thanks for your response – I have some knowledge of HTML and CSS but probably not enough. I thought WordPress was going to be a lot more user friendly – but maybe I’m doing something wrong.

I will have another look at that form then – although I have another site which is doing the same and it only has recent posts in the sidebar so I don’t know.

Would putting in a container size help at all? Just a thought…

Oh this is all beyond me. I don’t know what to do. Any more help or could you explain what I should do with my errors? I can’t even find them in the files. I took out the X-UA-Compatible line out of the header.php but it’s still showing “Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta”.
And there’s 3 more but I can’t find them. I’m out of my depth here

Ah ok, so it’s not a general IE10 problem, it’s definitely something I’m doing. I’ve just been told that another site I’ve done isn’t showing right in IE10 either so I guess it’s me! Nuts

Thanks Esmi

Wow, WPyogi, thank you so much – I have no idea how they got there and I’d never have thought of looking in widgets! That’s never happened before to me, weird.

OK so the page looks loads better now but any idea how I can get rid of the sidebar on that page? I’ve got it set to Layout – Full Width, but it isn’t doing it for some reason. Looks a bit silly with the same posts again!

Thanks

I’m getting this problem too – has anyone resolved it yet? Need help!

I have the same problem – keeno did you get any response or did you figure it out? Thanks

Ah, you are totally right – I have found and started amending the @media section and it’s definitely getting closer with the iphone, although my header is still strange. But thanks for pointing me int he right direction. (for anyone else looking at this forum the file to be amended is actions.php )

No I am deinitely stumped. The header image is shrinking to the width of the main content only, the sidebar is underneath… The page is all tiny and stuck in the middle very oddly.

Also the ‘main’ font on the index page is so much smaller for the 3 columns than it is for the rest of the page. Weird. I think I am a snadge out of my depth!

Ah thanks for that – just looked up about the theme (PressWorks – but I’ve been modifying it) and it says this in it’s blurb:
PressWork is a free, open source WordPress theme framework built for modern browsers using HTML5 and CSS3. Features include a drag & drop front-end editor for easy customization, the top 20 most popular Google Fonts and a responsive design using media queries so your site will look good on the iPad, iPhone and other handheld devices.

So I guess it’s probably something I’ve done…

Great, will give it a go in a bit!
