Well not sure without access to all the files but your footer lies within your wrapper so that is as wide as it will go.
To move it outside the wrapper (maybe thats the way it was before)
open footer.php
find
<div id="footer">
replace with
</div>
<div id="footer">
Okay thanks, that did the trick. Just don’t get how it came to be like that in the first place as I never touched anything in footer.php.
I’m using Chrome and IE9 and I just noticed in IE9 that I have a double footer but not in Chrome.
I see it too. FF and Chrome your good but not IE9 and I dont know why.
The only thing I can think of is do you have in your <head> a conditional statement for IE browsers to use a different stylesheet?
yeah, that’s weird. Let me explain how I went about adding the map image as I think that might be where I went wrong.
The thing is, it’s not a widget,(I want it there as a permanent feature) but I registered a “top sidebar” in functions.php and then added the map image under “top sidebar” in sidebar.php. Not sure if that is the right way to do it or not.
It’s late here now so I’ll be checking in on here again tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
