    I am new to developing wordpress themes. (I am using ths _s as the parent theme.) I am having trouble with a page that has an image at the bottom of the content area.

    The content area is styled to have a white background and the rest of the column (the primary div) is brown. I want the whole content area, including the image, to have a white background, even when there is no text below it.

    See http://petra.edkatzman.com/clearing-floats/

    Here is the code:

    Many thanks.

    In your css on line 99, try adding overflow:hidden…

    article.type-page, article.type-post {
background-color: #ffffff;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}

    Works. Thanks. I’ll need to read up on overflow to understand why this works. overflow:visible seems to make more intuitive sense to me.
