I did the deactivate all plugins and reactivate one at a time. Found the one that interfered and screwed up the layout: NextGEN Gallery. So keeping it deactivated.

Now I have to go back through and restore all of my widgets, etc, that were lost, and some other things that got screwed up. But seems that the core problem is fixed, so thanks!

I don’t know if I am supposed to report the issue with NextGEN, saying it doesn’t work with this current WP version. If so, please tell me where/how to report.

Thanks!

Thanks!

When I load the site, I see no indication of a “500 error.” Where would I see this?

Seems as if it may have been a server issue. At the very least, it was recoverable via hosting company who restored a prior saved version.

Okay, I am going to mark this topic “Resolved” and start a new one just for the drop down nav question.

Found the following solution online, and it worked:

Replace this section of style.css:

#sidebar ul.children li a{
	border-left: 10px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul.children ul.children li a {
	border-left: 20px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul.children ul.children ul.children li a {
	border-left: 30px solid #EDEDED;
}

With this:

#sidebar ul ul ul li a{
    border-left: 10px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul ul ul ul li a {
    border-left: 20px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul ul ul ul ul li a {
    border-left: 30px solid #EDEDED;
}

So now all I need to figure out is if possible to have sub-pages drop down from nav bar.

I tried the solution above for indenting nested pages. Didn’t work. Perhaps I put it in the wrong spot?

This is the code from my theme’s stylesheet (style.css) for the sidebar section (without the added code from above):

#sidebar {
	width: 228px;
	float: right;
	margin: 20px 35px 0 0;
	font-size: 1.3em;
	display: inline;
	}
#sidebar span.sidetitle {
	color: #333;
	padding: 3px;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	display: block;
	font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, arial, serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	letter-spacing: 1px;
	font-size: 1.2em;
	margin: 0;
	border-top: 4px solid #333;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #333;
}
#sidebar ul {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}
#sidebar li {
	list-style: none;
	margin: 15px 0;
	padding: 0;
}
#sidebar li li {
	margin: 0;
}
#sidebar a {
	display: block;
	color: #222;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 7px;
	font-size: 1.1em;
	font-family: Arial, verdana, tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	margin: 0;
}
#sidebar a:hover {
	color: #222;
	background: #EDEDED;
	}
#sidebar ul.children li a{
	border-left: 10px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul.children ul.children li a {
	border-left: 20px solid #EDEDED;
}
#sidebar ul.children ul.children ul.children li a {
	border-left: 30px solid #EDEDED;
}

Thanks for the “sample navigation menu” tip. That worked and I got the tab up top on the nav bar.

So now I just need to figure out if/how it is possible to get the sub pages to drop down from the nav bar.

And to resolve that prior issue with indenting the sub pages in sidebar, and not knowing where to insert that line of code.

Again, thanks for putting up with the newbie questions. Sorry if I’m being annoying. ??

Re: the code for indenting nested pages, which doc should that go in? sidebar.php? or is that something for the whole theme?

The theme comes with a few things built in in the sidebar, but if you add widgets, it replaces them all with a widgeted sidebar. So not sure if it still belongs in sidebar.php or not. This is full text of what I find when I open sidebar.php:

<div id="sidebar">
	<ul>
	<?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
		<li><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?></li>

		<!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.-->
		<li class="calendar">
		<?php get_calendar(); ?>
		</li>

		<li><span class="sidetitle">Author</span>
		<p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.</p>
		</li>

		<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<span class="sidetitle">Pages</span>' ); ?>

		<li><span class="sidetitle">Archives</span>
			<ul>
			<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
			</ul>
		</li>

		<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&title_li=<span class="sidetitle">Categories</span>'); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>
	</ul>
</div>

Okay, Order option worked. Thanks!

Now just trying to figure out the indenting subcategories, and also second question about Nav bar.

Sorry — I thought the tag would indicate my theme, but I am using “This Just In!”

Re: URL, I didn’t include because blog is still unlaunched. Trying to get the whole thing designed correctly first. That being said, the URL is https://www.funjoelsisrael.com — but as I said, please realize that it is still a work in progress. ?? But you can look at the Pages section in the sidebar for an example of what I mean.

I will try to get the pages in order, as you suggest. Thanks for your help!
