Ok, I found a solution, but I can’t imagine why it worked. In my sidebar.php file there was a statement:
<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>

and I had that statement commented out with <!–, but it was ended in –> so it shouldn’t have been a problem, and it wasn’t on the main page but for some reason un-commenting it changed nothing on the main page but fixed the category page. Go figure…

Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks Moshu for leading me in the right direction.

I see what you’re talking about Moshu, but I can’t seem to find that <!–.

It isn’t in the sidebar file (as the firefox box comes up fine on the main page) and I couldn’t find it in footer, archive, or archives.

Creating a copy of index.php and renaming it category.php doesn’t do anything that I can see.

Hmmm. Why would it just randomly insert a <!– when you go to category view and nowhere else? It isn’t even a transition between .php’s, it right in the middle of two parts of my sidebar.

It works perfectly. Thanks!!!

Thanks for coming up with that, mdawaffe!

Would this go into sidebar.php? In place of what’s already there for links or in addition to it?

Sorry, that’s a ton of info, but it doesn’t help me. I think it’s a bug, but I’m not sure. If you go to the WP 1.5 backend and click links, and then link categories, there will be a line after every link category that says Before:, Between:, and After:. The default for each one is Before – ‘li’. Between ‘br /’. After ‘/li’.

Checking out the source of my page reveals there is indeed a ‘li’ before each link and a ‘/li’ after the description, but no ‘br /’ between them. My mission then, is to find away, aside from just doing my links myself in html outside of the backend, to put that ‘br /’ in there.

Ha! Copied someone else’s Kubrick 1.5 page, and now it works. For some reason mine didn’t have the new “if” statement. Now it does.

Sweet.

Any ideas out there on making the link description in the sidebar go below the links instead of next to them?

Ah, I see the diffence now. The old kubrick said this:

body { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”); } <?php /* Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (! $single)) { ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } ?>

while the new one just says:

body { background: url(“https://cruzcontroller.com/blog/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg&#8221;); }
#page { background: url(“https://cruzcontroller.com/blog/images/kubrickbg.jpg&#8221;) repeat-y top; border: none; }

So I guess the new version of Kubrick took out that functionality and the second page command.

I’ll try to copy it over and see if that works. If not, any help would be appreciated by people know know Kubrick.

UPDATE: Nope, just copying it did not work. Suck.

1. Thank you.
2. Individual post pages used to not have the green sidebar. I would like to continue not having them. I like them centered.
3. I just checked. It *is* using ‘br /’. Still doesn’t work.

Thanks alpha, you gave me enough info to figure it out myself, which was probably better for me in the long run! ??
The actual graphic kubrickwide.jpg was the problem. For some reason, it had the black line in it. I changed that, and all was well. I need the if statement because the comment page looks just as bad with the right side menu graphic, which the kubrickbg.jpg file had. Thanks again alpha!

Aw man! Just when you think everything is ok, my comments page is a mess. I never checked it before now. I edited the comments files according to advice I saw on this forum, but then after noticing the chaos I re-uploaded the originals, and still it’s a mess. Any ideas? I guss the thread should be renamed: Stryke11 needs all kinds of help :P.

Thank you, all is perfect now!

Thanks Podz! As far as the second line goes, I still see it on IE 6 with XP, it is right above the text “Posted in General | 1 comment” and continues through the page where it is also right above the “Categories” header. It is identical in length, color, and thickness to the line through the list above. If I scroll over the General link or the 1 comment link, it will dissappear, but only the leftmost 2/3rds of it. And it will reappear if I scroll over any of my list buttons.
I’m also still trying to find out if you can move the menu panel (with Categories, Links, etc..) down a bit from the header.
Thanks again,
Michael

I just looked at in in IE, and that’s even worse. Appearantly, the horizontal black line though my list repeats itself for no appearant reason a bit lower on the page, right through the sample post! That is obviously something that detracts from the overall beauty of the page :). Any help removing this issue would be greatly appreciated, as well.
