Colorway color coding issues

  • Hi, about 2 wks ago updated the theme to whatever version they were touting that wk. It totally screwed my site.
    Fortunately I had saved my style sheets from version 3.1 which never gave me any issues.
    Unfortunately now, Blog, Video & Contact pages have olive green colored background. Don’t know where or how. Can’t find that color code in any stylesheet.
    Pls check it out here and tell me how to get back my white background. Also the header banner width seems to be coming up short. AHHHHHH

    Never updating again ??

  • Hi WanderlustWomen,

    Looks like you are missing a div to clear the float after <div class=”grid_24 content”>. Because that div is floated, the next div, div class=”container_24 footer-container>” is floating up into your content. The dark green you see is the footer-bg.png image that is the background image for .footer-container.

    If you are making changes to your theme, make sure you make a Child Theme so you can safely edit your theme files. If you just need to add some custom CSS, you should be able to use a custom CSS plugin.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, I checked the page source code and there are two </div> at end of that section but not in the theme’s CSS stylesheet or footer stylesheet. It must be coming from somewhere else……ahhhh, it only happened after I updated the theme and I checked the code changes. Any ideas? The theme allows custom css in its settings? Thanks much

    Hi,

    My apologies, it actually looks like there is a missing </div> (closing div tag) on the pages that have a sidebar (Blog, Video, and Contact pages). Have you edited the sidebar.php of your theme? I ask because I did a test install of this theme and I can recreate the same issue if I delete one of the closing div tags at the end of sidebar.php (there should be two </div> tags at the end of that file). If you find you only have one </div> tag at the end of sidebar.php, add the missing </div> tag and that should fix the issue.

    If you feel like diving into the details, here some info on how I tracked this down. I viewed and copied the source code from your On Writing Blog page and did a Find All for “<div” (opening div tags) and then another Find All for “</div>” (closing div tags). I found 65 opening divs in the code, but only 64 closing divs.

    Next I used a code editor that has opening and closing tag highlighting to inspect the code a bit more. From what I can tell, there is a missing closing </div> tag for <div class=”grid_8 omega”> which is the div that surrounds the sidebar.

    Hope this fixes the issue for you.
