    where does one go in order to post a question to wordpress ? God only knows how I got here.

    im having non stop troubles with my site and I want to alter 2 things at the moment

    1) the white space between the left side menu and the content of the website because it push’s so much of the web page content so far to the right which leaves huge white space between content and the left side menu ( yes I want to keep left side menu )

    2) my footer has disappeared, I for the first time install child theme and now ive lost my footer, if people know code, please ask me and ill get the code to show whatever, I don’t know code very well so please don’t get too technical

    what do I need to change or add ?
    I had footer 24 hours ago, I had something called “inspect elements” and another called “firebug”

    should I post the web site URL here so people can see what I am talking about ?

    help would be much appreciated, spent the last 24 hours on this problem and still cant fix

    Yes, a link to your website would be crucial.
    I am afraid I don’t understand what the plugin has to do with your site issues, though.

    It’s hard to say what could be causing the issues without seeing the full code of your website.

    You say the issues came up once you installed the child theme. A good troubleshooting method is to remove your child theme, and slowly add it back bit by bit to see what parts of your code are causing issues.

    First, check how it looks if you switch it to 2014 theme, and see if the footer and white space issue are still there. If it’s gone, the issue is your child theme, if not, then it’s not your child theme.

    This is a good tutorial in case you are not clear on adding child themes (though you’ll need to change it to 2014). Once you get the child theme in, check your site. If things are problematic, you may have put it in wrong. Then you can add in slowly any code that you had in your first child theme and see what causes the issue.

    I remove the child theme and the problem was exactly the same, which code would you need to see ?
    I could go into editor and get any files out if you need

    Can you work backwards? What have you been editing? Have you touched the theme files at all? Is it possible you deleted your footer.php by mistake?

    I think its too far down out of view or something, I open something with inspect element, before footer was blocking everything and couldn’t see the body, now its the reverse, cant see the footer but can see the body
