Title: Content below sidebars Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Content below sidebars * [sashira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sashira/) * (@sashira) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/) * Hello everyone, * I have spent the last couple of hours searching for a solution, but either I’m not looking for the right thing or I’m just unlucky. Anyways, I’ve been trying to modify a theme called “Seashore.” * But I can’t seem to figure out how to get the main posts section to fit between the 2 sidebars on either side. * I have validated numerous times, but it tells me congratulations all is well!( Not fair really, if they found a problem it would be helpful this time.) * The website is located here: [http://journeytoantarctica.net](http://journeytoantarctica.net) * If any of you could spare the time, to help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Compare your theme edits with a fresh copy of your theme files and see what tags are different. * Thread Starter [sashira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sashira/) * (@sashira) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334517) * Thanks for the response. Should I only check in the CSS file? * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334519) * If you edited the css file, check that. Also check index.php or other php theme files you edited. * Thread Starter [sashira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sashira/) * (@sashira) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334522) * I mainly fiddled with the css file from all the searches I made about it. Anything that I tried in other files, I put back the way it was after it didn’t work! * Thanks again. 🙂 * [carolineh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolineh/) * (@carolineh) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334523) * Hi Sashira, could you post up your style.css and your div layout: ie. * ```
``` * etc * I’m sure we can help you with the layout, * One tip for you, so you can actually see the div boxes. You will need to be using Mozilla Firefox as a browser, install [this add-on](http://https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60), and use the ‘Outline’ – ‘Outline current elements’ function: * Thread Starter [sashira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sashira/) * (@sashira) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334542) * I went ahead and completely reinstalled the theme. I figured it was good to start from scratch again. 🙂 * Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it possible that the way the author designed the theme that it wasn’t made to separate the sidebars from each other? * Thread Starter [sashira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sashira/) * (@sashira) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334543) * Carolineh, I am on Firefox, and the add-on you linked to goes to a page not found.

If you need an additional part, please let me know. * Please note, this is a freshly installed theme, so now everything is correct, but I still do not know how to get the content to appear between the 2 sidebars. * /* Content */ * #content { float: left; width: 470px; padding:10px; } /* Column Two */ * #sidebar1 { float: left; width: 175px; padding: 10px; font-size:0.9em; margin: 5px; } /* Column Three */ * #sidebar2 { float: left; width: 170px; padding: 5px; font-size:0.9em; margin: 5px; } #main .sidecol { border-left:#ccc 1px dotted; } #main .sidecol ul { margin: 0; padding:0; } #main .sidecol li { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; background: none; margin-bottom:2em; } #main .sidecol h2 { padding: 0 0 5px; font-variant: small-caps; font-size:1.25em; } #main .sidecol p, #main .sidecol form { padding: 10px; margin:0; } #main .sidecol ul ul { margin:10px 0 0 20px; padding:0; } # main .sidecol ul ul ul { margin:0px 0 0 10px; padding:0; } #main .sidecol li li { list-style-image:url(img/bullet.jpg); margin:0.5em 0; padding:0; * And as for the
I’m not quite sure what you are asking for, sorry if you could tell me which file it is in, I’ll happy copy it here. * [carolineh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolineh/) * (@carolineh) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334601) * Hey Sashira, * ‘Div’s are like boxes that contain the information, and styles can be applied to these boxes to position them relative to each other. I’ve looked at your layout and it is basically this: * ```
``` * and normally if they are all floated left they will appear in their normal order, but your’s dont :s not sure why but post up everything in your style.css that has the following: * #content #sidebar1 #sidebar2 * and it should start making sense 🙂 Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Content below sidebars’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 11 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [carolineh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolineh/) * Last activity: [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-below-sidebars/#post-1334601) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
