please help- my whole blog is centered!?

  • I was adding an adsense ad to my blog above the header and now my entire blog is centered… (www.kidworldcitizen.org)

    My theme is coraline. This is what someone told me to do. I only want the ad centered, not every single thing on the site:
    Place the following code directly before the opening <head> tag in the header.php file.

    <div align="center"><div class="banner-ad">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9452940836904778";
/* Leaderboard */
google_ad_slot = "5588351876";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>

    Place the following code at the bottom of the CSS file.

    .banner ad {
width:728px;
margin:0 auto;
}

    Oh- is it the button that says delete cache?

    ?? I clicked on delete cache- I had never done that before!

    Under plugins find SuperCache – there’s a clear cache or something similar.

    Cross-posted but you did it :). Now you need to correct the CSS – it needs a hyphen in the “banner-ad” class here:

    .banner-ad {
width:728px;
margin:0 auto;
}

    I guess I don’t have that plug-in. Should I install it?

    OK- I am in the CSS. Do you see what line it is? I am so sorry to take up so much of your time. Thank you so, so, so, so much for helping me!!!!

    I am in the “edit css.”

    Did you add it there before? I should have said this earlier, but there’s a huge fundamental problem with all of these changes to theme files – they will all be overwritten and lost when the theme is updated. You really should be using a Child Theme when you’re making modifications to theme files… I’m guessing you hadn’t run across that yet?

    Is the header the only file you’ve changed?

    Hmmmm…. I think I have heard the term “child theme” which makes me think I have that. How can I tell if I do?

    We are a little beyond my capabilities and understanding:). I tried to browse the link you sent and I feel like it is written in another language:).

    No you don’t – I can see the theme you are using…it’s not a child theme. So that’s something you really should do… but I have to go to bed soon so can’t get into that right now :/

    But to fix the centering, add this under Edit CSS:

    .banner-ad {
width:728px;
margin:0 auto;
}

    No problem!:) I will put that on my list of things to do!!! ??

    Should I just add that at the bottom or the top?

    Cross-posted again ?? – well, I know that all sounds way complicated, but it’s really not so bad – and someone (me possibly) can help you walk through it – I just can’t do it tonight. So do read through it so you get an idea of the concepts…and then we can jump off that deep end when you’re ready.

    Doesn’t really matter where – bottom is good so you don’t mess up any other CSS by mistake.
