Jamooche

Of course right after I post on the forums, it starts responding instantly like usual. Was down for about 2 hours or so…strange!?!

Forgot to post the link to my site:

@ianbee – Thanks for this fix! Worked perfectly for me! Thanks again!

Well, I got it to work exactly how I want via a different method. I added this:

<style type="text/css">
#site-generator {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    border-top: 0px;
    color: #000000;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.0em;
    padding: .9em 0.9em;

}
</style>

to my child footer.php and it responds as a normal style css would.

The main problem I seem to have is that the #site-generator is not working

This code:

#site-generator{display: none;}

which should remove the footer changes nothing.

WPyogi,

Thanks for your response. I placed the code with only the padding and played with the numbers. Large values set to zero values don’t affect anything on my page.

All I’m trying to do is have my copyright at the bottom of all my pages / posts with no change coloration or spacing.

Not sure why these modifiers are not taking effect.

Here’s the site I’m trying to modify:

Thanks very much for your post!

theindiansabroad,

I looked at your site on my work PC in IE7 and Firefox and see no errors. I can see the black horizontal menu bar and can click on the links in both browsers. What is the exact problem you are seeing?

Thanks! You rock! Such simple code and I couldn’t find it anywhere.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info Voodoo. I’m glad it works and glad everyone else figured it out.

Your site looks good in IE9 as well as Safari.

I’m pretty dumbfounded as to why a blank child theme would cause this issue.

Are you seeing my menus in IE7?

Liz – what’s not satisfying about a fix that solves the problem?

I have a search box on my website in the footer widget. You could also add the search to the sidebar widget too. Or you could add it to both.

Every browser displays websites differently. I’ve tested this fix on many versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. And my site looks good in all.

I figured it out!!! You need to add this code in the style.css to remove the search box:

#branding #searchform {
display: none;
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 3.8em;
}

I found it from this page:
https://allaboutbasic.com/2011/06/15/wordpress-com-theme-twenty-eleven-css-style-sheet-modification-change-site-titledescriptionpost-titlecommentsmenussidebar-and-more/

My twentyeleven child theme has one file “style.css” and this is the only code in it (I removed all my mods), and it still doesn’t work. All it’s doing is calling the original style file with no changes:

/*
Theme Name:     Twenty Eleven Child
Theme URI:      http: //www.jamilabbasy.com/blog/
Description:    Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme
Author:         Jamil Abbasy
Author URI:     http: //www.jamilabbasy.com/blog/
Template:       twentyeleven
Version:        1.2
*/

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");

However, if I switch back all is fine! What other file do I need to call to make the menu work in IE?
