My VA fixed it — I’ll ask them what it was exactly that they did and let you know.

Will do but I’m at a loss. I just deactivated ALL the plugins except for the contact form and the extra space was there. I also just tried again using the Twenty Ten theme and it didn’t help. Is there anything else I can check? I’m on WP 3.0.3.

Yes, it is 2.9.5.4. I see the difference between the codes. It is a custom theme developed for me, but it didn’t change when I switched to the Twenty Ten theme — the extra space was still there. I will experiment with the plugins again. I deactivated them in groups – this time I will delete all of them at once.

Hello Mike. I just tried both disabling the plugins as well as temporarily changing to the Twenty Ten theme, but the extra spacing still remained, unfortunately.

Any other suggestions? Thanks for your assistance.

Ok I can see how that might be a problem. And I just played with some numbers and think I have it all figured out now. I need to learn some CSS going forward so I understand my site better — I think I’m having similar conflicts between HTML in my site admin panel’s posts and pages and the CSS in my stylesheet.

I’ll get it figured out.

Thanks for all your help.

Ok I see now. When I change the values in the above code in the CSS, it makes the changes anywhere there’s a table <td> on the entire website, naturally. However, even changing those values for margin and padding from 0 to 1 makes a HUGE difference in the layout.

Also, I only want to affect the table on the above page that I referenced, not every table everywhere in the website. Isn’t this possible?

So right now I have in the HTML of the table on that specific page:
<table border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10">
but it’s not taking. I can make those values 1000 but it doesn’t matter.

No changes. Are you seeing large spacing and padding on your browser for that page?

I added

td{
 margin:0;
 padding:0;
}

as the last lines in my style.css but unfortunately nothing changed on the table itself. I’ve added cellspacing and cellpadding values of 100 so it will be obvious when the changes are in effect. I’m looking at this in both Safari and Firefox in my Macbook Pro.

Thank you for your feedback, folks. Would you be so kind as to tell me exactly where in my style.css I should add these lines of code?

Great – it works! Thanks so much.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately that didn’t seem to change anything. My sidebar.php is still the same as above. My subscribe.php is now, per your instructions:

<div id=”pp-subscribe” class=”clearfix<?php if ($pp_feed_id) echo ‘ pp-email-true’; ?>” style=”border-top:1px solid #ccc”>
<ul class=”clearfix”>
<li id=”pp-feed”>
<a target="_blank" href="<?php if ($pp_feed_address) {echo $pp_feed_address;} else {bloginfo('rss2_url');} ?>" title="Subscribe to This Feed via RSS">Subscribe <span class="email-narrow">to Our Feed</span> via RSS</a>

<?php if ($pp_feed_id) { ?>
<li id=”pp-email”>
<a target="_blank" href="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=HawaiiHousingNews&loc=en_US" title="Subscribe via Email" >Subscribe via eMail</a>

<?php } ?>

</div>

On a separate yet related note, this is a custom theme I’m using. If I drop widgets into the Theme Editor in the admin panel, they do not appear. From my limited assessment, it seems to me that there’s no place in this sidebar code to allow for widgets to ‘come and go’, i.e. it’s hard-coded instead. Is this right? I’d like to get my “Subscribe via Email” link to work, but I’d also like the flexibility going forward to add other widgets to my sidebar if I choose so I can allow the site to expand as needed.

Thanks for the notes, but unfortunately it didn’t work. Just so we’re clear, I only duplicated the one line, not the body of text that follows. I’m hoping to get the Like on both the excerpt as well as the post.

Sorry but I need crystal clear instructions. I know tech, but I don’t know coding or scripting. If you can provide step by step instructions, I’d be most appreciative. Thanks.

Hi there. I don’t have a key, so I enter my info in the required fields: First Name, Last Name, Email Address (twice) and Role (RE Professional). When I click Submit, I’m taking back to the General Settings page of my WP admin panel.

Also, if I click the link that asks if I already have an API key, I get nothing. The hover link at the bottom of the window says “Go to # on this page”
