Custom Press and Page Alignment (9 posts)

    Hello. I'm trying to use Custom Press to create custom page types in hopes of eventually developing some calculators. Unfortunately, I'm having some problems with content alignment on my Custom Press pages. Please see the image below. Normal pages appear to be aligning properly.

    Might I evoke, as an unskilled WP user, some advice for remedying this problem? Your time is greatly appreciated.

    You should place more information in your meta-data DIV (see the screen-shot below where in your PHP template). You can put somethings like that : post date, comments, modified date, vote, tweet button or Like button.
    Like that, you will have a long long DIV container above your post. To do this, each item must have a Float:left attribute.

    See my website if you want to see how it sounds.

    Thank you for your advice. Are you saying that this will repair the alignment problem in the OP image? For a direct link, see here: http://combatarms.stratics.com/eq/guitar-gun.

    Hi,

    Is this correct now ???
    See here : http://www.monsterup.com/upload/1307867574609.png

    I've changed .post_content in your CSS.
    You have :

    .post_content {
    width: 395px;
    margin-right: 45px;
    float: right;

    I've replace by (see Width) :

    .post_content {
    width: 615px;
    margin-right: 45px;
    float: right;

    Because the parent container has this (see Width) :

    .postcontent {
    width: 660px;
    background: url(images/postbg_mid.png) repeat-y;
    float: left;
    padding: 0 15px;
    overflow: hidden;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-style: italic;

    You can try !

    Yay! It's aligned properly. Thank you so much for your help!

    The only thing is that the text is spilling outside of the content area. See here: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7959/csssm.jpg (squared in red). How do I fix this?

    Bump. I'm not sure why the content is spilling out of the container.
