Support » Fixing WordPress » differences in single post and blog front page, sidebar broken

  • Hi, I am not a developer, but no one else is fixing these problems, so I am trying to. Someone else set up our website and blog using the Twenty-Ten theme. There are static pages and a blog, but the blog has issues.

    – no title in single post view
    – content and sidebar widths need to be adjusted
    – static footer seems to be in sidebar

    A single blog post:
    http://openshow.org/blog/a-conversation-with-dan-herrera/

    Compared to a functional static page:
    http://openshow.org/aboutus/

    How do I get the blog to look like the static pages? I’ve looked at the stylesheet but I’m having trouble figuring out which parameter I need to change. Is it this?

    .single-attachment #content {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 900px;

    I also looked at the template for the single posts, but they seem to have a line calling up the title of the post, so I’m not sure why no titles display. I can’t tell much from the blog page code itself since that contains nothing.

    Can anyone help? I’m hoping if someone can just tell me which terms I should be searching for in the document, I can figure the rest out myself. I’ve included the code for our single post template.

    Thank you!

  • on your style sheet located in wp-content/themes/twentyten/style.css
    the h1 is set not to be displayed. Delete the line where it says ‘display:none;’ and your single title will be displayed.

    The other things need some more time. I myself is learning WordPress. Maybe later.

    Hope this helps you partially.
