Xam 1.0

You need to add your background to the container div. Something like:

#container {
        background: url('image-path');
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
	float: left;
	margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
	width: 100%;
}

Replace the image-path with your actual image-path and play around with css to make it fit properly.

I noticed that the plugin is only compatible with wp-versions up to 2.5. You can ask Donncha for help on the plugin page. If you regularly work on themes you could use xampp and install wordpress on your local computer, this way your ‘live’ site will never be affected with this kind of problem.

The recent project is a footer-widget, you can probably delete the widget via the widget-dashboard or you can delete it from the footer.php.

The .htaccess file is not the problem. Your host was right though, their version is cleaner, you don’t have to specify the blog directory since the .htaccess file is in that directory. But either one will work. The problem probably has to do with the plugin. I suggest you ask Donncha (the theme tester author) for advise.

Hmmm, that last problem could be with the changed .htaccess. Do you know what changes your host made to the file?

I suggest to deactivate the plugin, see what happens. If the problem still occurs you can also try to delete the plugin.

You probably need to set fixed height for your ‘column’ and set overflow to hidden.

.column{
	float: left;
	position: relative;
	width: 350px;
        height: 500px; ///(or whatever)////
        overflow: hidden;
}

Did you make any changes to your site before this happened?

If u want to use the plugin and hide certain widgets on single posts u need this command: !is_single()

Then the widgets won’t show up on single posts.

Twenty Eleven uses a 940px header, so any image u upload will be uploaded to that size, even smaller images. So if u upload a smaller image it looks bad due to loss of pixels. To change the height and width of the twenty ten header you will have to edit functions.php and change HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH and HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT to 780×138. But then u also need to change ur css (branding img) to the new size.

There’s a plugin for that:
