Text Widget Changing Page Color Problem

    I recently added social media buttons to the homepage of the website I created for my organization via a text widget for my sidebar. After completing the buttons the background for the homepage turns a deep green (it used to be white) and it appears to have shrunk the width of the sidebar as well.

    I have had trouble locating the right answer on these forums or on Google.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Hi Aaron,

    You can adjust the width of the sidebar on the homepage only by adding the following CSS to your theme style.css

    .home .sidebar {
  width: 250px;
}

    The green seems to be coming from the .footer div in your template, so the following CSS should hopefully sort this for you.

    .home .footer {
  clear: both;
}

    Hope this helps

    your site has html validation errors, like:
    ‘Error Line 182, Column 7: end tag for “div” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified’
    which can possibly break the layout of a site.

    what code exactly have you entered into the textwidget?

    make sure to close any opened html tags properly – you might just have a typing mistake in the code… the last bit at the end of that code should be </div> …

    Thanks for the help. I had <div> and not </div> at the end of the HTML for the social media icons. When I added it it seemed to solve the problems I was having with both the color and the sidebar width.

    Thanks again for the quick responses!
