In my case, using Firefox, the “footer” is slightly to the right of the body and header. (body and header are aligned perfectly).
In IE this is not a problem. But my users will use Firefox. I did not see the padding statements in the footer.php file. When I change the padding in the “Header.php” file, that only throw off the header from the body.
Help!
make it right in firefox, and then fix internet explorer with http://ie7.sf.net
Mine was aligned properly in Firefox (but not in IE, but that’s a problem for another day), and then all of a sudden it went out of whack and I’ve tried fussing with the padding and margins and can’t figure out how to get it back in line. Any ideas? My site is mydogischelsea.com. I’d appreciate any advice you might have!
Cheers,

Just to let ya know.. the Default theme has been fixed now, it’s in the latest and greatest version of WordPress 2.0.4.
http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
Becareful when upgrading your Default 1.5 theme though, there has been style.css changes and so forth.. It’s now the Default 1.6 theme. You’ll have to select another theme first.. save ALL of your original theme files.. especially if you have plugin codes added to them..
Select another theme first, temporarily.. then, in the FTP directory for the default theme, delete the older ones.. then reupload the newer ones.. then, re-add your plugin’s codes if you had them in there before.. 😉

For the record only though, Octa and I have made up some fixes for this theme before..

Spencerp,
I’m sorry I’ve taken so long to respond to your suggestion. Oy. Thanks so much for your help. I’ve been a total delinquent on my end and I’m sorry for not following up.
What I’m wondering is this: I’d like to upgrade, but I’m worried that it will be a real pain in the arse. I use the default theme, except that I’ve changed a lot: colors, fonts, the background, the header, I’ve put pictures and various stuff in my sidebar, etc. Will upgrading mean that all of this will be erased? And if so, can I just copy and paste the relevant portions of the old code into the new documents, or will that cause it to revert to 1.5?
Thanks!
Laura
It’s ok. =) Umm..best thing to do would be, backup ALL of your current theme file changes. Also, everything else…to your hard drive, on your computer..
Then.. do a normal blog upgrade. You can follow these directions here.
I’d upgrade your blog itself first, then let’s worry about upgrading and fixing your default theme second. It won’t be as hard as you think.. 😉 =)

And no, upgrading your blog to 2.0.4 won’t mess up your theme’s looks or anything..
Okay, thanks!! I’ll give it a try. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best (I have tendency to mess up this sort of thing)!
Hey… I never responded to this. doh. I did end up upgrading my WP but it didn’t fix the alignment issue. So I changed my theme instead! Hey, whatever works, right?
Thanks for your help, spencerp!
