Hi there Kpashko,
I’m experiencing the same problem. Your second post only mentioned ‘solved’ but not how you did it. Can you help me out please?
Thx,
Renato
Hey SixtySpecial, from the original description it sounds like either inner page header and footer needs to be filled, or width needs to be specified in css. If you post a link to your site I can advise further.
Cheers,
Maeve
Hi Maeve,
I tried experimenting with both inner page header and footer and width but it looks like it only screws up the other catalog pages that were previously looking just fine. Maybe I didn’t try hard enough 😉
Since the catalog is not yet fully filled and the lay out is not 100% you can only get there through the link… No menu item in the homepage yet…
Checked it…
Your WP Catalogue is placed within a page with a container width of just 605px. This just isn’t big enough to fit both the side menu and 3 columns of products. You need to use a page template that uses the full width available.
Thanks! Should be able to figure that out. But then again, how come it only happens to the page where all available items are shown? Once you’ve chosen any of the available options in the left menu, it all fits perfectly. I believed that the same page was loaded again but just with the chosen selection, but it’s an whole different page altogether then?
Because the inner pages are not using that page template.
Most people have the opposite problem – they set their chosen template for the main page, so that looks good, but inner pages don’t pick up the right page template and it skews. That’s why the Inner Page header and footer fields exist. Your issue is kind of the reverse – by chance, the inner pages look OK but the main page needs a page template to be set.
Hi Maeve.
No luck yet. I looked and found the container in style.css. Changed it from 605px to 1000px just to see if that was the problem, but nothing changed. Tried the full with page but that didn’t fix it either. Then I fiddled with the width of the thumbs. Nothing. Tried going from 3 to 2 thumbs in a row… again, nothing. So either I’m overlooking something (I’m not an experienced user) or something else is going on. Could you please give it an other look?
Thanks again!
Do you have a Page Template available that is Full Width? If yes, please set that as the page template for the WP Catalogue page and post back here.
Because currently I can see that page has the content within a div called “main” which is 610px and then inside “container” which is 605px, hence your width problem. YOu will need to use a full width template or if one doesn’t exist in the theme, create one, which uses the full 960px width available. Then your WP Catalogue will fit.
Hi Maeve,
Template is set to full with. Nothing changed, but maybe you can see what’s going on. Also changed ‘main’ div to 960px and ‘container’ to 950px, but again nothing happens.
Please advise…
And of course, thanks… again… 🙂
Make your col-2 a bit smaller, say 702px
Because currently your col-1 + col-2 + padding is greater than the width available in your container
Alright! That solved the problem. Except now the rest of the site is falling apart. I guess that’s where the template header and inner template footer come in handy? Btw, In case you’re going to take a look: I changed it all back to how it was before, because the site is still live and it looked really bad (apart from the main catalog page).
Cool.
Yeah well like I said before, you will want to great a full width page template and apply that for the WP Catalogue pages. Because what we did above was change your containers to be much wider, which will affect your whole theme.
I am having the same problem :/ But don’t want to mess my whole site up. Any ideas?
Main page http://www.womensbusiness.club/womens-business-speakers
Catergory page messed up http://www.womensbusiness.club/wpccategories/business-growth
Also how do I change the brown that comes up everywhere to grey and how do I change the word product to speakers?
Thanks for a great plugin! Just what I need if I can get it to work and will happily donate 🙂
