• I recently set up a new site with a theme called wsCorvette from WiredStudios.com. I really like the theme but have a slight problem with the side bar. Widgets included with the blog such as the META one display fine, others are aligned slightly to the left. Same goes for adding a text widget or anything else. I’m am sure it is in the CSS somewhere but I am not that good with that stuff so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • your div’s are all wrong ..

    try this :

    <div class="div_wrap_sidebar">
    <div class="top_sidebar"><h2>TEST</h2></div></div>
    testing stuff
    <div class="bottom_sidebar">
    </div>

    but i am not at all sure it would help, since you have SO MANY wrong div’s that are opened and not closed, and viceversa, that it is hard to determine where to put the finger …

    Your right it didn’t change anything other then to remove the background from the other widgets. Spacing all stayed the same. Thanks for the try though!

    I really like the look of the theme and would hate to have to find something else because of this problem. But having it half broke doesn’t work out either. Hopefully someone will have the answer!

    Thanks again, take care~

    The answer is simple, you will have to fix all the broken DIV’s that you added one by one, just go over them, and see that there is no closing div that has not been opened and no open div that is not closed , and put ALL your sidebar widgets under the same “big” class div .

    Thanks… Not sure I follow you completely. I am not that great with all the code stuff. But I will try and mess around with it some. Worst case I guess I will look for another theme.

    Thanks again for taking the time.

    There is nothing wrong with the theme… the problem is with the things that YOU have added to it, or more precisely, HOW you added it .
    I am sorry I have no time right now to go over all the code in your theme, if i will find some time in the next few days, i will try to fix it for you…
    I would also reccomand you to read what a DIV tag is (google) and understand a bit better what I wrote …

    I will check Google for the DIV info. But I haven’t added anything other then via the widget page. In the picture above the stuff below meta box is a widget I got and installed just as an example, same for the Gallery slide show widget. The last is nothing more then a text widget. As to HOW I added them all, I went to the widget page and click on them to add them to the sidebar. All three seem to have the same spacing problem.

    I will check Google for what you said. Thanks!

    Well I looked around on Google, but didn’t have much luck. I did start thing about the comment above “the problem is with the things that YOU have added to it, or more precisely, HOW you added it .” has now got me thinking there is something wrong somewhere other then the CSS page. But honestly I am not sure where to look. Any help in pointing me in the right direction is appreciated… Take care~

    yes, the problem is not at the CSS file, but at the theme files themselves (index.php…)

    OK, Thanks again for all your help. I think the best bet is to just find a new theme. I don’t believe I have the skills to fix this one. Again, I appreciate you taking the time. Take care~
