Black Bar on Page, twenty fourteen

  • I have a page set to display one long post more-or-less permanently. On this page, and this page only, I have a vertical black bar where the “left hand’ column might be, and my post is very narrowly displayed to the right of the bar.
    Here’s the page

    I would like to make the black bar go away. So far I haven’t been able to do so.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Jeff

  • you have somehow (invalidly) reused the same CSS ids as have been used for the structure of the theme;

    i.e. do not use:
    <div id=”page” class=”hfeed site”>
    <div id=”main” class=”site-main”>
    <div id=”primary” class=”content-area”>
    <div id=”content” class=”site-content”> `
    in that page template.

    Um… I didn’t do any direct html on the page – I’ve never brought up an HTML editor on a WordPress site, although I do on my Joomla sites…
    Where in the template is that erroneous code located, so I can fix it?

    I have a page set to display one long post more-or-less permanently.

    how?
    what code / plugin / method have you used?

    In this order:

      I wrote the essay in question as a regular post
      I selected new -> page on the dashboard
      I copied and pasted the post onto the page
      I did a little cleanup editing
      I selected “publish “

    Poof! Black bar.

    I have been looking at the html view of my page. I see the lines you quote.

    Should I just delete them? Do I not need any div definitions at all there?

    This is my first ever WordPress site. I have some knowledge of html & css, but not a deep level of knowledge. Almost all my html experience is from long years ago before css became a widely accepted means of defining site characteristics.

    Thanks again for your help.

    OK – deleting the <div> lines fixed it.
