[Theme: Twenty Ten] sidebar too short and showing at the bottom of one page

    Hi,

    I’m new to CSS and started to change a few numbers in twenty ten but created a new problem.

    1) My sidebar is showing at the bottom of my second page. (this was the original demo page)

    Can someone help me figure out what number to change to get it to come back up to the side? A view of the original code may make it obvious which number I changed to create this problem, but I don’t know where to get the original code.

    The original issue I had before I started messing with things is that on all pages:

    2) the “like my facebook page” widget is cutting off the last letter in the sidebar.

    I would like to widen the sidebar on all pages so the whole title shows up.

    If anyone can help me with these two column sizings, I would be incredibly grateful!

    Thanks,
    Ursala

  • Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Thanks esmi,

    After doing some research, I think first I need to create a root install for wordpress to have it’s own directory. And then I need to make another directory to start the child theme. I know I need to access FTP files to make these changes.

    Do I make the changes through Bluehost by creating a subdomain or creating an FTP Account, or do I make the changes through WordPress general settings?

    For example, the child theme says to “Make a new directory in wp-content/themes, and name it twentyeleven-child (or anything you like).”
    I’m trying to figure out:
    -where do I go to get to “wp-content/themes”
    -If I need to create a root install first in order to have and access said files
    -how to create a new directory after that

    thanks for your guidance.

    Is there somewhere to find the original twenty ten code so I can compare and fix what I change?

    No. Try reading that Codex section again. Yes – you will need to use FTP (or whatever file management application your host provides) to make the changes.

    Download a basic Twenty Ten child theme

    Thanks Esmi,

    I finally figured out the FTP child theme upload. I’m assuming that I add the code I want for the changes before I upload it. I think I can find the code online.

    I appreciate the guidance.
