Andrew Nevins:
Yeah, it works fine. The only clumsy part is that it’ll probably center all iframes instead of just youtube embeds. If there’s a way to make that line of code specific to youtube embeds, that would be cool.

Jan Dembowski:
Centering embeds from the visual editor or HTML editor only works if your account has Editor privileges or higher. It doesn’t work for Author accounts.

I don’t really know what i’m doing so this is probably super clumsy, but adding this line to my stylesheet seemed to work:

#content .entry-content iframe { display: block; margin: 0 auto; }

So the answer is no?

I appreciate the workaround suggestions, but i can’t believe there’s no direct way to do such a simple thing.

Thanks for the response. You’re saying i should rename my existing readme.html to something else? But what about all the incoming links?

Can’t be done?

Screw it. I give up on Recent Comments until WordPress implements the option to moderate trackbacks/pingbacks separately from regular commments.

It’s frustrating how much of WordPress is crippled due to trackbacks and pingbacks being treated as comments.

Thank you for your help. I’ll ask somewhere else.

What about separating them in terms of moderation rules?

I mean, why isn’t it a default option? These problems come up all the time and the person asking usually spends a few hours/days following suggestions, then gives up on trying to find a good solution.

I’ve seen plugins that do this sort of thing but i’m hesitant to install anything that was created 5 versions ago.

I think i figured it out through sheer trial-and-error, although i can’t explain it. Adding this to the style.css file fixed the issue:

#content {
	margin-bottom: 36px;
}

So there’s no way to change the header image height from within style.css?

Okay, new problem. I created a child theme and all i did was change those layout numbers, change the font, and hide the title.

Here’s my website: ComboVid (not launched yet)

The problem is if you scroll all the way to the bottom, the “Older posts” link has dropped onto the footer bar. How do i fix that?

What i’ve found is that deleting all the layout changes from style.css fixes it, but the mystery is that using the original Twenty Ten numbers doesn’t. In fact even if i copy and paste the entire layout segment directly from the Twenty Ten style.css it still causes the same problem.

Any ideas?

I don’t know the answer to your question, but i did find some helpful resources. Here’s some CSS tweaks posted by wpweaver in another thread.

And it looks like Adeptris answered my question in another thread as well:

Container needs the -sidebar width
Content Needs sidebar width + 60px
Primary and secondary are the sidebars

-260 / 320 / 260 worked for me, and so did hiding the title. Now i just have to get the header taken care of, and hope nothing else breaks in the process.

Thanks guys, this is very helpful. I’m just learning about child themes now, because i’ve never had to edit anything major before.

Is there a reference for what all these declarations represent?

I’d like to do the addition/subtraction myself, but i can’t figure out what #container, #content, #primary, and #secondary stand for exactly.
