Is there somewhere anyone could suggest that I go to get help on this subject as I know it may not be a purely wordpress issue?

Hello – If this post is to the wrong group, could someone let me know where to repost it for any help? Thank you all!

Still wondering about this one, TIA for any help.

Sorry, now I better understand the forum rules, so here is my pastebin link to the code:

TIA!

Thanks esmi for the quick reply. So quick, I missed it for a while! I checked the header.php file (assuming that’s the same as the header.php template file you reference. I just don’t see the culprit. Here’s the code, and further guidance is appreciated!:

I’m backkkk. Finally had a chance to get back to this project. I started over from scratch, using the tutorial found here:https://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/building-custom-wordpress-theme/ which I found very comprehensive and more up to date that the previous one I used. Anyway, it all works fine now, EXCEPT…

Looks fine in IE 6 but when viewing in Mozilla and Safari there is a space between the horizontal menu and the header. You can see it here:

Any suggestions very appreciated – almost there!

Thanks – I believe the trouble started when I downloaded another theme and activated it. I’ve since trashed that, and reinstalled the default theme from my original WP download and that did the trick.

I’m now realizing that the HTML and CSS provided in the tutorial don’t match the code in the current default (Kubrick) files. I’m going to go back to square 1 using the current files and only mess with the text and header formatting and see if I can get ‘er going that way. There must be some code within my single.php I’ve been working with that isn’t matching up right, and I need to clean it up anyway.

Thank you all so much for your help, and I’ll try to get back to you ASAP with my results, but I now know that esmi’s suggestion works and I need to keep it simple stupid and get back to that point.

Any and all suggestions/comments always welcomed!

Thank you both very much – now I have another problem – wanted to test in the default theme but it is not showing up in my WP/admin/themes? Give me some time to resolve it, and I’ll report back!

OK, I’m back! Tried the

It might be the <h6 align=”right”>

Take out the align=”right”; you have to do that in CSS, not html.
but realized I had put that html only into the single.php and was not referenced to any CSS, so it did not make a difference to remove it.

I also checked the original “Default/Kubrick” theme, and realized that the single.php pages eliminated the side-bar, so maybe if I re-phrased my question it might help.

“How do I add a similar sidebar that exists on all other pages of the default/Kubrick theme to the single.php pages?

Thanks again for your consideration and help.

Thank you! Will try and report back.

Does everyone that uses WP experience the “no space between paragraphs” issue or is this possibly something I did when changing the coding?

Thank you both for your responses. Songdogtech – I did

then compare that basic code to the code in the theme files that do work OK in IE6, like category.php and archive.php

but since I am unfamiliar with PHP I don’t know where the HTML/CSS is incorrect, if that makes any sense. Basically, I don’t know if I am missing/misplaced a closing </div> tag since I don’t know how PHP is structured. Yes, the animation is large, and I need and will fix, sorry for the delays.

Samueldiener – you said”

don’t know the answer to your first question. However, the carriage return problem seems to be pretty common for me. Inserting a
into the html should do the trick ??

but the inserting a ___ kind of dropped out in the post, would that be a
tag?

Thanks again all!
