Well I figured it out myself, a custom page template, modified footer document, and some “!important” declarations in the css file…

thanks. henryLemmon>

I have a empty 2013 child theme set up, I have set up a static front page in dashboard > settings > reading.

I want to have the footer widget area only on my blog, so that I can take advantage of the wonderful new post formats in the 2013 theme at full width.

I do want a sidebar widget area, and no footer widget area on all my static pages though, except for on the home page that is, “my home page is my front page”, and I want that to be full width along with, all the post pages in my blog.

I am having problems with the absolutely positioned aside elements:

I have tried child theme’s custom templates, but I am unable to get around the absolute positioning on the footer asides that contain the widgets.

I have used jquery to strip off the abs pos but, it seems as though it is replaced, and only works intermittently.

we have even called the sidebar widgets into the footer widget area that worked but I know that it is probably not the way to do it, and I am sure that there is a better way.

can you please help me?

Thank you I am almost there.

yes thank you for your attention, I will refrain from posting again once I start a thread.

I thought I had exhausted my child theme options. Let me investigate that option once again, I will get back to you with the results.

I wonder if I should start a new thread because I messed this one up so bad?

That inline, absolute positioning is coming from somewhere. ill find it and strip it out…

I do not know anything about bumping. I am willing to wait my turn, but this must be pretty complicated… it’s the bumpers in the world that mess it up for everyone else. I guess I will go back to twentytwelve. That will solve the above described problem.
Thank you.

correct me if i am wrong:
I changed:

$(document).ready(function()
to
jQuery(document).ready(function($)

and I added the var below as a global to handle all the instances of the $ that was not insice of the document.ready function.

var $ = jQuery;

Is that what I am supposed to do? I know it works this way, it also works if I change all the $ to jQuery, but I did not think that was right, so let me know.
Thank you!

Thanks Andrew

I went over my code with a fine tooth comb after bluehost told me that they detected a open tag in my css, and I found one open set of tags for the media querrie just above the ones that I was trying to get to work.
Now it works fine. “learning experience”
Thanks for the help. I come away learning several things about media querries.

We got a email ticket goin and I disabled all the plugins, so we will see what they say.

The host got me on hold as he refers the issue to there css tech, and I will disable plugins to see what effect that has.
be back!

to the bottom of the style.css located in my child theme

wow what a situation.

I made the recommended changes to the file, but it still only works local.
I will get on the horn with bluehost and see if they have any idea what is going on.

This is what I have at the end of the style.css file in my child theme:

/* To make my front page respond correctly to various screen sized with the p wrap
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
	.alignleft {
		float: none; !important
	}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 750px) {
	.alignleft {
		float: none; !important
	}
}

it works localy but not when I change the style.css on the server in bluehost.
