1) What theme are you using?
2) Please post a link to your site, it is difficult to tell what is wrong without being able to examine it directly.
i added the widget at the very top of the site and as you see most everything is centered
I was working with other threads here and was attempting to create a header widget but i think it attempted to create the widget section to the left and somewhat distorted that side. Ugh..
lol…any help appreciated
Somehow the ending header tag got deleted, so everything is showing up in the header. That is, when I do a view source of your page, I see this:
<header>
but not a matching this:
</header>
i actually added text below to header
<div align=”center”> <header>
and then i added the widget code
Did you try doing a view source on your page? That DIV and HEADER elements that you added, as well as the widget code, show up at the very top, before everything else. That’s definitely not where they belong. Just run the site through the W3 Validator and see all of the coding errors.
do you have any idea how I can use my widget code up in the header section? I removed what i had up there
Does your theme support a widget area in the header? If not, you’ll probably have to create a child theme and edit a copy of the header.php file to add a widget area.
You can also try posting a question in Cyberchimp’s support forum for the iFeature-free theme.
I figured it out, thanks. And just in case someone is needing a fix — all I did was put this code — <center>[code here without brackets]</center>
OK, even though you got it to work, I’ll warn you that it’s a very non-standard way of coding; you have that <center> element at the very top of your source, before the DOCTYPE declaration. It won’t validate properly, and you may run into other problems in the future. It should be somewhere within the BODY element, instead.
