Move content

Hi,
In your wp-members-2012.css file, it looks like your problem is your left margin here:

#wpmem_reg, #wpmem_login {
    margin-left: -26px;
    padding-top: 30px;
}

Not sure why you would have that as a negative, but if you change it to 0, the “N” on the Member Registration page moves over fine.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks Laura that has fixed that page. looking at the site the left hand boder makes the text very close to the edge of the page. Is there anyway I can change this for the whole site so that the text is a bit away from the edge of each page. You can tell I am technical from the wording here. ??

Many thanks for taking time out to try to help

Glad to hear that helped. Yes, you can change the content padding for the whole site. I should first menttion that if this is a theme that might have updates, you should make any kind of changes using a Custom CSS plugin. If you don’t, any changes that you make will be lost when you update. Using the Custom CSS plugin, or in your style.css file, you can add

#content {
  padding-left: 20px;
}

I’ve used 20px, but you can change it to whatever looks good to you.

Also, if you’d like to make other changes to the look of your site, installing Firebug could help you a lot.

Good luck!

Hi Laura

Many thanks for your expert help, not sure if I can handle this it is beyong my senior years I entered your coding but found some of my second columns in a few pages of the site disappeared took the coding out byt the second column did not come back.

It is me not you I know that but I need these second columns back

cheers

Try changing your #content width to 610px. If you are using a Custom CSS plugin, you will need to use

#content {
  padding-left: 20px;
  width: 610px !important;
}

If for some reason you need the content area to be wider, then you will need to decrease the width of the sidebar.

Hope this helps.

Hi Laura Again I am grateful for your kind help. However I do not appear to be making much progress.

The website I am trying to get correct is https://eac.eu.com/newsite

Up until a couple of days ago I had all of my pages apart from the home page with linking menus to items in that section by when publishing a page making it a child of the main header page. For example EAC History under Page Attributes showed About EAC as the Parent page. This created a menu on the right hand side of the page detailing all of the pages that were children of the main page for example if you can look at https://eac.eu.com/newsite/join-eac you should see a main page with a menu of pages down the right hand column.

Now everytime I edit a page I am losing the right hand side menu.

I have used the plugin Custom CSS it now reads

/*-- Enter your custom CSS below --*/

/*--body--*/

body {
font family: helvetica,verdana,arial,serif
font size: 12px,
}

/*--sidebar--*/

#sidebar {
  width: 580px !important;
  float: left
  margin-left: 5px;
  margin-top: 20px;
}

/*--sidebar--*/

#sidebar.widget {
width: 320px !important;
float:left
margin-right:20px
}

Which has got to be incorrect.
This all started trying to move the content in the left hand content area a little to the right to prevent the first letter half disappearing. Now I am in a bigger mess having lost my important menu’s down the right hand side

I appreciate I am asking an awful lot but can you have a look at this for me please and try to help me get these menu’s back

I shall be your humble servant for the rest of my life (it should be shorter than yours I haven’t got many birthdays left as one of my dear friends tells me each birthday :-)) Just don’t give me a job that needs kneeling my tin knees don’t fully bend as a result of MRSA but that is another story.

cheers

Hi I think I have solved that mystery I have removed the coding from the plugin and have rebuilt the pages from where the menu disappeared, it looks like it is working but if you, or anyone else, would be good enough to check the site for visual presentation at http:/eac.eu.com/newsite and try a few pages and let me know I would appreciate it.

Many thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,
I am seeing the sidebars now on the pages I checked, so it looks like you have solved the problem.

Again Laura

Many thanks for all of your help it is greatly appreciated and good to lnow that there are people like you who are willing to offer help with no thought of reward to oldies like me.

take care

Dave
