yeah bizarre… after i used firebug to change the sidebar and content width its like “stuck” in those widths

i just measured the width of the sidebar with a screen tool.

The width is 328 pixels.

Clear the cache

Lets see if we can get rid of some of that left margin or padding to the left of the sidebar. In styles.css:

#sidebar-primary {
blah blah
width: 315px; /* change to 315px */
margin-left: 0; /* set this to zero and see if works */
}

Look at the size of the ad above the search box. Its clearly too big – about 20-30 pixels too big. Thats one problem I see. Imagine taking the ad plus the width of your horizontal images… they won’t fit side by side.

Do you see the problem in overlap? You will have to make room for the banner ad at 300 pixel width. But the images are too big width wise.

Its a 300×250 banner ad.

do this in styles.css and see if it works:

#sidebar-primary {
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
width: 315px; /* change this to 315px */
margin-left: 15px;
}

The calendar, video, latest tweets popular posts, press release and screen shot widgets are up. I’m staring right at the page.

Your welcome Amy. And a funny thing is that you are in west san jose. probably in my backyard LOL

Whenever something like that happens, its because you have an element in the sidebar that is larger than the width of the combined total width specified in your page container.

Its probably the YouTube video set at 300 pixel. Try a smaller width in the iframe definition, like 260px.

And by the way, your slider on the home page is offset wrong. its ok in opera 11.61 and ie 9 but messed up in firefox 11

mackyinc where did you get this theme? is it paid?
anyway I dont have access to it.

You can try this in styles.css type this in:

.bottomcover {
display: none;
}


Lets see what that does. Let me know when you have it saved.

In styles.css:

#site-description {
color: #7a7a7a;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 0 270px 3.65625em 0;
}


Fiddle with this line:

margin: 0 270px 3.65625em 0;

If you change the 3.65625em to say 2em it will shrink it.

However, you will have a gap at the upper end.

In that case, fiddle with:

#site-title {
margin-right: 270px;
padding: 3.65625em 0 0;
}


And change the 3.65625em to 2em also and it should look balanced.

it sounds like you have html errors like a tag missing or something

run it through the w3c validator and see what it coughs up:

its likely hard coded into the theme

what theme are you using?

Just comment out all get_sidebar() function calls in the PHP files except for index.php like so:


<?php /* get_sidebar(); */ ?>


You shouldn’t have to create a page template for the home page. Just leave index.php alone.

do you have a URL so we can look at?
what are you wrapping your blog posts with?

sharks:

If clicking on navigational links are causing HTTP 500 errors its likely that you got permalinks or .htaccess problems.

Switch to another theme like Twenty Eleven. Does it work? If not, its not your theme, its your setup.

Do you have mod_rewrite enabled? Create a php file with this in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>


Do a search for “mod_rewrite”. If it isn’t there, you need to have your host enable it.

Without permalinks enabled can you click on pages with no problems?
