Can not move contents to the left in TwentyThirteen

Can you please post a link to your site? Thanks.

Hi,

I am afraid that this is not possible because the access to the site in development is secured (not public). If there is no other way that you could help (code or screen snapshots, etc, ?) I would talk to system managers and see what could be done.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Here is he link: http:\\tt.xenya.si.

Should you need admin access – i have to talk to the system manager, as already said.

I appreciate your response very much.

Kind regards,

What is happening is this rule:

.entry-header,
.entry-content,
.entry-summary,
.entry-meta {
   margin: 0 auto;
   max-width: 604px;
   width: 100%;
}

The margin value of 0 auto centers the content. So if you want to move the content to the left, copy this to the end of your child theme’s style.css file:

.entry-header,
.entry-content,
.entry-summary,
.entry-meta {
   margin: 0;
}

Hi,

Thank you, that convinced me I’m on the right way and helped me realize that whatever I place in child css has no effect.

So it comes apparent that the problem lies elsewhere: the child theme css does not function as expected! I tried to make some other changes in it and they do not appear either… On the other side, the child theme .php’s seem to function. I’ll try to troubleshoot child css functioning. In case you have some hints they are more than welcome, of course. For me this is the first child/parent setup experience :).

Kind regards,

The problem comes from lines 135-139 in your child theme’s stylesheet:

/
 * 5.0 Content

 * Move page contents to the left!
/

It looks like someone tried to put in a comment but didn’t know the correct syntax, so the browser can’t correctly parse the next rule, which in this case happens to be the rule that you were trying to add.

/*
5.0 Content
Move page contents to the left!
*/

Hi!

Thank you very much. Now it works!

Arghhh….. I’ll have to learn some more basics before I make all the good guys mad. Right? Embarrassing – that someone was me… of course.

So let me start searching other stupidites I managed to place in the css in order to gain the authority for marking this topic as resolved.

Kind regards,

OK, it’s time to close the case….
