cleaning up archive page

    if you scroll down on this page (https://bankingwiththebeard.com/?cat=3) which is the archive page for the DVDs of this business, you’ll notice about a third of the way down that the products start to appear in the left column.

    why is that? how do i fix it so that the left and right columns extends all the way down the page???

    on a related topic, how do i limit the amount of products that show before the “Next entries…” button at the bottom? the only related code i could find is here in the archives.php file:

    <div class="navigation">
<p><span class="prevlink"><?php next_posts_link('Next entries &raquo;') ?></span>
<span class="nextlink"><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous entries') ?></span></p>
</div>

    please advise. thanks!

  • about a third of the way down that the products start to appear in the left column.

    The closing div tag </div> for the id=”content” div is in the wrong place, just above where the products appear too far to the left. You have an extra closing div tag in there someplace and you need to remove it.

    how do i limit the amount of products that show before the “Next entries…” button at the bottom?

    Look at Dashboard nav option Settings / Reading, at the # of posts per page, “Blog pages show at most”. Try changing it to what you want it to be. If that doesn’t work you will need to add a query_posts statement before the WP loop on the archive.php template (or category.php if your theme has that file), setting
    posts_per_page to the # you want displayed on a page

    thanks. i took that out and now the products do stay within their middle section.

    however now the bottom div, which contains the bottom curved border picture, gets scrunched in on the archive pages. any idea why that is???

    Maybe other misplaced </div>'s and code errors?: [Invalid]Markup Validation of bankingwiththebeard.com ?cat=3 – W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.
