    Hi,

    I am having some issues with my style css and would appreciate any help I can get 🙁

    I tried to change the width of my blog posts (unsuccessfully, I thought), now the width has blown right out and my page looks ugly as and totally unreadable. I am using the Yashfa theme

    http://www.eatsleepmove.com.au

    I have made the changes in my blog dashboard to put it back to rights and nothing has changed!

    I have read some of the other forum questions and answers to try an get a solution. I have cleared my cache and I am not running a wp-cache plug-in, so I am not sure why these have not worked.

    Can anyone please help me?

    Cheers,
    Crystal

    .posties .one {
    margin-left: 130px;
    padding-top: 20px;
    width: 100%;
}

    I added this to style.css on line 269 and it lined up the post, not sure how you wanted it to line up but it got the main content out from behind the left column.

    grr!! no go…the issue that I am having is that I am tinkering with the css in dashboard but it is making NO changes to the display on http://www.eatsleepmove.com.au
    is there anything else I should be doing?

    Since you have been clearing your cache the only other thing that I can think of is if the dashboard interface doesn’t have the necessary file permissions to overwrite the old information, then any changes you attempt to make will simply not be applied. Whatever was there before will show up again as if no changes were made when you load it up again. I can’t say for sure as I typically make edits to the files directly, but that does sound like what is happening.

    Hi Frederico,

    I am grateful for your assistance, can you please tell me how to get the necessary file permissions?

    Thank you

    not sure if this is the right place to look but my permissions in the wp-admin/js/ are all 0755.

    Is this the right place to look, should they be 0755 or something else?

    If I were to make edits to the files directly, would this be in the admin or content folder to the theme?

    Hey Frederico

    Thank you for your help, I tinkered with the permissions and also looked @ the files directly and made sure they reflected the changes I was trying to make in the dashboard. Not sure what it was that actually worked, but it is all fixed now 🙂

    So thank you very much!

    Very cool! Sorry I wasn’t on to see your other responses but I am glad you found the solution at any rate.
