Hey.
Firstly, if you’re using a theme from the WPORG theme repository, you should not be editing that theme’s files directly. Instead you should make any changes via a child theme. Information on why using a child theme is considered best practise and how to implement them can be found here: codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
Your footer has two sets of padding being applied to it via the CSS which is causing it to shift to the right. To resolve this, include the following CSS snippet:
#links-wrapper {
padding-left: 0;
}
As an aside note: Great site. I’m currently trying to gain funding for a project aimed at young travellers. 🙂
Hi Siobhan
Firstly thank you. I think i have managed to change my theme to a child theme now…. but not sure how to check this to make double sure!
I entered your text into the css but it hasn’t seemed to work (i simply added it at the bottom…. any further advise? i would be very grateful.
Glad you like the site, the awards have been running for around 8 years now. I work for BETA (British Educational Travel Association) if you are interested in youth travellers you should check out our main site (http://www.betauk.com).
Thanks
Hi Helen.
In what file did you place the snippet? I can’t find it anywhere in your source code.
I also cannot see any child theme files, if you created a child theme, please make sure that it’s activated: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
