My first WP Theme

  • I’m making my first wp theme and, while there are still minor tweaks to do, so far so good.

    Though I’ve been having issues with positioning the content and sidebars. I’ve been playing with it for hours, searching google and still having trouble. I’ve got it some what close to how I want it but now having issues with the text in the content.

    Could someone have a look at it and see if they know where I’v gone wrong? I’m using the shape theme as a base starting point.

    The markup validator says you got a stray end tag div here

    </div><!-- #page .hfeed .site -->

    fixing this might fix the issue.

    Thanks for you quick response. I’ve corrected the stray end div tag. Still have the same issue. Any other ideas?

    Here is the style.css. As I’ve said, I’ve be playing with this for a while trying all sorts of options and may have some things that need to be cleaned up or fixed that may or may not be causing the problem. That’s why I’m asking for a fresh pair of eyes before I start smashing things.

    [ 701 lines of code moderated, that’s just way too much. For that many lines of code please use pastebin.com instead. Or just post a link to your site. ]

    Your website isnt working. Are you able to post your css?

    Sorry have been having trouble with the host not always working. I’ll get onto them about it. Keep trying it. The css is posted above.

    Site still not working but it looks like you have some CSS errors that may be causing problems:

    Also, for future reference, please see:

    An entire stylesheet is too much — use the pastebin, please. Normally, I would remove that much code, but since your site is not working, I’m leaving it for now.

    Sorry I forgot to ask is there anyway you can take a screenshot and post a link here?

    Site should be working now. Sorry about the full css code I’m new here, I joined and posted this post as I’m getting frustrated with it. will keep it in mind for future.

    Will look at doing screenshots if there is still trouble with the site not working.

    It’s a test site for me to test themes on so its full of a lot of random posts etc.

    OK seems that I have solved the issue. I had a couple of;
    clear: both;
    that weren’t needed. when I disabled it, pages came right. give me some time to keep checking it and testing it and if all good I’ll mark the thread resolved.

    OK so I thought I had it all solved. Had it all looking good on the testing site;
    https://demo-sites.jonathantrinham.com/testing-ground
    Then I tried to copy it over to my main website;
    https://jonathantrinham.com/
    And now the sidebar and content won’t line up again. Yet the same theme on the testing site looks fine.

    This is starting to drive me crazy, what am I missing here?

    Fixed it, it seemed to have been a plugin that was somehow causing it. I deactivated some un-needed plugins and then it was fixed all of a sudden.
