    I’m a middle of the road wordpress guy (At best) and I’ve had this issue before, I solved it in few days. NOW? its been a week and I’ve aged badly because of it…

    Site I’m working on is fine in all other browsers except IE 8. I’ve moved the “Doctype” inserted the usual code between head tags and attempted to move things around within the style sheet. All to no avail.

    I’ve also removed the radius corners of the theme (Preference Lite) in the style sheet for the IE specific css. It moves the site up but the sidebar and centering of the post is still buggered up…

    I’m at the point of BEGGING for help here guys. Help a redneck out will ya?

    First validate each webpage you want browser-compatible to W3C standards.

    Thanks Andrew, I’ve removed all but 2 of the errors found. I can’t seem to find them. I removed the post on the page and just put test. I think the errors it’s finding are in the theme itself and I didn’t mess with those lines at all…

    The IE layout is still buggered.

    Those two errors look pretty important. Try deactivating plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.

    I did it just now and it revalidated the same. 2 errors and 1 warning. I’m going through the PHP files looking for it… Any help is surely appreciated…

    You have a broken <body> link in header php. It should be
    <body <?php body_class(); ?>>

    Fix that and check again for missing closing </div> tags.

    This is what it looks like in my header php file.
    <body <?php body_class(); ?>>

    I have been playing with it trying to get it to revalidate. Not working at all..

    Read the code in the validation report; tick “Show Source.” You still have an unclosed div : <div id="centered-wrapper">

    Is it unusual to have NO /body tag in the header file? The extra > in that body quote above doesn’t look right. I counted all the DIV tags in the header file and they have matching closed tags… I’m down to my last handful of hair here folks…

    These files are what came with the theme. I haven’t modified any of the header files other than to insert “meteor slide” code. And I removed that during this IE troubleshooting issue.

    Thanks for the help folks.

    Songdog, Yeah I have the entire thing going through my editor (TACO) and finding NOTHING missing.. This is the line of code it references:

    <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
    <div id=”page-top-bg” style=”border-top-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘page_top_border’, ‘#595A67’ ); ?>; border-bottom-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘tophalf_botline’, ‘#BCBCBC’ ); ?>; background-color:<?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘tophalf_bg’, ‘#ffffff’ ); ?>;”></div>
    <div id=”centered-wrapper”>

    <div id=”logo-wrapper”>
    <?php
    $logostyle = get_theme_mod( ‘logo_style’, ‘text’ );
    switch ($logostyle) {
    case “default” : // default theme logo ?>

    <div id=”logo”>
    ” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>” rel=”home”>
    <img src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() ; ?>/images/logo-demo.png” alt=”<?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?>” />

    Read the validation report and the line numbers: You’re missing the closing tag for <div id="centered-wrapper">which is a </div>

    Yes sir SongdogTech. I read it. I’ve tried to insert the /div tag all over it and it helping it. The line number it references is 290. It’s not in the header php file. There is a closed div tag for every open one.

    This particular theme has 32 editable PHP files and 2 style sheets (One is for the visual editor) The header php file appears to have the closed div tags… The header php has a total of 153 lines. The error says line 290 so it’s happening somewhere else?

    I’m a rookie bud, be patient with an old dude will ya?

    I reloaded the original version of this theme and the errors are still there. I was pretty sure I didn’t create these errors with my editing but I had to prove it. I guess this theme isn’t going to validate and I’ll be spending a lot of time trying to make it happen.

    My wife loves this design and I’d really like to make it work. [Soliciting work comment removed] … Holler.

    Seriously this is ridiculous. A brand new theme, no edits no posts, no plugins, nothing won’t validate.
