Title: Aligning Header and Sidebar Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Aligning Header and Sidebar * Resolved [madtripper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madtripper/) * (@madtripper) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-header-and-sidebar/) * Hi, * I’m tweaking the Kubrick theme to create a custom theme for my blog. For the most part it’s working out well, but I cannot get the different pieces to align properly. My header is aligning left and I need it center. My sidebar is floating to the far right of the entire page and I need it flush right with my header. The footer and background are correctly centered. The site is up at [http://www.girltrip.org](http://www.girltrip.org). * My header.php is coded: *

* ================== Some code from my style.css: * #header { background: #90a090; position: center; border-bottom: solid 0px #aba; border-left: solid 0px #9a9; border-right: solid 0px #565; border-top: solid 0px #9a9; font: italic normal 230% ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; letter-spacing: 0.2em; margin: 0; padding: 1px 1px 1px px; } * #header a { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } * #header a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } * #sidebar { background: #ffffff; float: right; width: 210px; } * #footer { clear: both; ========================= * I am ultimately going for a gray background (background 666666.gif) with an 800 wide page centered on it. Any help would be appreciated. As I said, everything I’ve tweaked in the Kubrick code has worked well except these alignments. * Thanks, MT Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-header-and-sidebar/#post-404204) * Ran the css through a validator, check these out: * `URI : http://www.girltrip.org/wp-content/themes/pinksuitcase/style.css * Line: 61 Context : h1 * Invalid number : position center is not a position value : center * Line: 169 Context : #header * Invalid number : position center is not a position value : center * Line: 177 Context : #header * Invalid number : padding px is not a padding-left value : 1px 1px 1px px * URI : [http://www.girltrip.org./](http://www.girltrip.org./) * * Line: 30 Context : #page Parse Error - center * Line: 31 Context : #header Parse Error - center * Line: 32 Context : #footer Parse Error - center * I’m concerned about your “page” properties, they’re not listed in your post but they take precedence… * Anyhoo, first see about addressing the above errors? * Thread Starter [madtripper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madtripper/) * (@madtripper) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-header-and-sidebar/#post-404205) * Thanks! I cleared the CSS and checked for validation. It seems to be fine now. I also checked my page properties (assuming that you’re referring to page.php and didn’t see anything about alignment, but here is my page.php code: * *
