Left Sidebar @ bottom of page

  • I’m using a left sidebar to post our YouTube videos but the sidebar appears at the bottom of the home page on all devices. Website is https://www.christourredeemeranglican.us. DB we looked at this a while back, it worked briefly, now this. Earlier today I asked if it was an issue with too many <div/> lines as from another post. Thanks

  • Something major changed.
    – Did you update this site not using a “Child Theme”
    – If you did your changes were probably lost.

    This will get you going down the path….

    .content {
    width: 70%;
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    }

    .s1 {
    width: 30%;
    z-index: 2;
    float: left;
    }

    Hi Roy. Yes, I see where we worked on the sidebars about a month ago. What I see today when I inspect your site is this in the <body>tag:

    <body class="sfsi_1.47 s1-collapse s2-collapse" cz-shortcut-listen="true"><body>

    When I check my test site with the same one-sidebar layout, I see this:

    <body class="home blog logged-in admin-bar col-2cl full-width topbar-enabled mobile-sidebar-hide chrome customize-support s1-collapse s2-collapse" cz-shortcut-listen="true">

    Not sure why the <body> tag on your site is missing all the theme-related classes. The “sfsi_1.47” class is coming from your Ultimate Social Media Icons plugin. Can you try disabling that plugin and see what happens?

    No change deactivating the Social media plug-in. Noah was correct in that I did an update not using a “child” theme,.. so I’m going to attack that now

    Child theme now active…

    What do you have in your child theme? Anything besides the style.css and functions.php file?

    no

    The child theme isn’t the issue. If you didn’t have one before the update adding one now won’t make any difference. Here’s what I’m seeing now:

    1. You’re loading a style.css file from a directory named “cora-child”. Is that valid?

    2. On your home page the banner image at the top of the content is wrapped in a <code> tag. This is not css; it’s part of the HTML page structure. This is not something that’s generated by the Hueman theme.

    3. There are dozens of errore being genereated from references to a stylesheet named “www-embed-player-vflZNlRSj.css”. I can’t see where this is being loaded.

    4. The page <body> tag now looks like this:

    <body class="s1-collapse s2-collapse">

    Those are two of the classes the theme would insert but there are several others that are missing.

    I suppose a place to start might be to disable all your plugins and see what that gets us. Hopefully that would put your site back to the basic theme layout. If that works then you’d need to enable the plugins one at a time until you find the one that causes the problem.

    “cora-child” is what I named the child theme

    The banner image was loaded through a plug-in, should that be done through Hueman??

    Not sure what the stylesheet “embed player” is,I haven’t found that yet. Used debugging and didn’t find it anywhere.

    I disabled the plugins, added one at a time. I did not see the sidebar videos until activating the Google for WordPress plugin.

    So right now,.. I’m lost, but still looking. Thanks again!

    The “Theme Options” link is missing under “appearnce”… in both the child theme (CORA Child) and the Parent theme.

    All the theme options have been moved to Appearance > Customize. This was required by the WP theme review team. Might take a bit to get familiar with where the various options are but I think the developer did a great job of making the transition.

    Well, I quickly looked, added a YouTube video, edited the “primary sidebar” to include “Home” (did not add “single post”)The link shows up, BUT at the bottom of the page above the footer.

    Under this new format I am not seeing the options for Global layout, sidebars as I did before.

    So have I lost the original sidebar? If so, then I have to add my other links, not a problem to do, just wondering. I cannot find any way to make the sidebar show on the left side of the page.

    Thanks again BD, hate being a “pill” ??

    Under this new format I am not seeing the options for Global layout, sidebars

    Check Customize > Content > Layout Options

    hate being a “pill” ??

    No problem; that’s why we have these forums. Well, not so you can be a “pill” but so we can (hopefully) answer your questions ??

    Something still isn’t right. The body tag now shows this:

    <body class="sfsi_1.47 s1-collapse s2-collapse">

    It’s still missing several classes that should be added by the theme. We need to get to a normal layout configuration as a baseline. I’d recommend (a) disabling all your plugins, and (b) activating the parent theme. As a note it looks like your child theme style.css file has an @import line which is no longer needed with v3+. And it also appears to contain php code, which shouldn’t be there. So, disabling all your plugins and activating the parent theme should hopefully bypass all those issues. Then, if we can get that to function correctly, we can start working on the child theme and reactivating the plugins. I know that may alter your site but, unless you have a subdomain and can copy your live site to a test site, that’s about the best we can do.

    other projects in the works, but I’ll get on this later… THANKS AGAIN!! Super Support!

    still no luck, the sidebar appears in “appearance >customize” to edit. I deleted a Google+ plugin which had not been tested for my WP Ver. Replaced that with a YouTube plugin which does post my videos the same way,.. at the bottom of the page. I saw a note which said the sidebar would be visible at the bottom of the page on mobile units… related maybe??

    I’m using the “Childify” plugin to create the child theme,.. going to delete that and see what happens…
