Awesome playing2012, that did the trick! ??

Thanks for the suggestion playing2012, but Bombax already includes text-align: center in the body tag. Also, Bombax uses body in the same way most themes use wrap — in this case Bombax is customizable via the admin gui, and I’ve set the maximum width for the page to 1000px, and Bombax outputs the css:

body {
   text-align: center;
   max width: 1000px;
   margin: 0 auto; /*added by me in the child theme<strong>EDIT:see below</strong>*/
}

however the whole page still sits hard against the left side of the monitor.
**********************************************
NEVERMIND I’m just an idiot ??

looking closer at my actual code after I wrote the above, I discovered in my child theme I had written:
#body {margin: 0 auto;} (as an id, rather than just the body tag)

Thanks for the help playing2012, and now I feel bad for hijacking ctec67’s thread!

(tl;dr – resolved for me, however I can’t speak for ctec67)

having the same problem. Can’t find any answers on WP forums.

The obvious solution (in my child theme css file) would seem to be:
body {margin: 0 auto;}
but this doesn’t have any effect.

d’oh – the problem wasn’t in the php, it was in the CSS:
#header .pageList li {float:right;}
All fixed now!

Thanks for the help anyway, esmi ??

Finally found some time for Role Scoper… it only seems to add more fine-grained control to permissions, rather than forcing each blogger’s posts onto their own page… or maybe I missed something in the complex settings?

Will try Me2995’s suggestion next, and post back here how that works out.

Thanks esmi – I’ll give Role Scoper a look-see. Doesn’t sound quite like what I’m looking for, but closer than nothing. I just want to have several blog pages in one site, not several inter-linked blog sites like WPMU would do. Role Scoper looks close, but more like a work-around than the clean solution I was hoping for. Still, it’s worth a shot!

Oops! My bad – I was unaware of the No Replies list – clearly a forum newbie here… Thankyou esmi – Sorry!
