Wow– thanks. I didn’t know they could propagate through posts like that.

It wasn’t in the code I gave you (sorry, I realized late that was probably the point). Whatever was there wasn’t working so I erased it.

Tried a couple different things then finally just erased the whole thing and reinstalled it.

And it worked (I never know whether to grumble of be thankful this type of solution clears it all up).

Okay: the difference I suss is that I put the ‘center’ directly after (in) the .sidebar h2.widgettitle line, since that’s the way I interpreted your directions.

What ended up working was moving it to the bottom of the list of attributes. After I reinstalled.

You’ve been wonderful, Thanks so much for your help!

Okay, here’s my confession: I started by trying out the child theme, but when Cut & Paste didn’t result in what I was looking for (perhaps the CENTER command was throwing everything off there, too?)

I reverted to my original (as in 4-years-old, only way I’ve ever done it: by picking things apart) method, saving the original in word, then inserting & highlighting the changes so I’d know what was diff if updates change things.

Yes, I’m sure your way is simpler, but my head couldn’t wrap around a nearly empty box. I guess I don’t have enough faith.

That said, I copied the full text (sans “center” command) into pastebin (user name UntanglingTales), since I didn’t know what part would be the best to exclude.

I finally just logged out and re-logged-in, and it worked.

Thanks so much for your patience.

Applied your suggested code, and it all worked except for the last one.

Somehow adding that word (center) removes the green bg bar and lets the sidebar overflow (bump) the main content.

To respond to your response, I’m in and out of my editor (I think that means I’m logged in) but I have only the date-tag beside the post.

(Am I supposed to say where I am? It’s Helmericks.net, if that’s in any way useful.)

Off to try the sidebar advice and see if that fixes things (sorry for crossing topics, I’m a little confused here.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I’ve just used up my computer-time so I’ll check out this fix in the evening and get back to report.

A tab under the date would be so elegant– I actually don’t see one, but if there’s a way to add it in, I’ll follow directions.

Well, it’s still working again for me– I’m not touching anything till my week of flat-line works of the stats.

GL figuring our your stats.

I stuck it in, nothing happened for a while.

I removed the “meta” widget (b/c it wasn’t part of the formula when I changed themes right before this junk started) and I’ve recorded for page-loads so far.

I’m totally going to be a stat junkie today– see if tis keeps working.

Me too!

It’s been a week now. I saw on another something (the .com forums?) about needing <?php wp_footer(): ?> in the footer section, but if I need that (and it isn’t in my new template) I don’t know where I aught to put it and whether it needs a closing tag (or what that would be) anywhere.

Hmmm, well, it’s back now (after a couple hours).

I guess my addiction can be fed again…
