• Hello everyone, I’m new to wordpress and have been finding my way around from the past posts. I have 2 problems with the template I’m working on. 1) My menu sizing was perfect until I changed the link title to Content. I tried to fix it by changing the width: 10em; in #menu. Nothing seems to work now. Does anyone know how to fix this? 2) This might be the first question like this but I can’t find the answer anywhere. Since in wordpress you create the whole template unlike in b2 where you just put the post anywhere. How do you put your links (contents of website) to show up where your posts are. If the posts are in a frame how do I find out the frame name? I don’t know if anyone understands what I mean but if you do could you please help me. Your input is greatly appreciated. Here is the URL to where my wordpress page is http://www.nielegirl.com/wordpress/index.php. Thanks in advance, Jenn

  • You may be unaware but your server carries a very *in your face* 404 error message. I wouldnt want my visitors treated like that.

    I don’t know why it has a 404 I can see it perfectly. Believe me if I knew it was goig to show a 404 I wouldn’t have posted the url. Let me try again http://www.nielegirl.com/wordpress/index.php

    Oh and the 404 was meant to be taken as humourous πŸ™‚

    Well, it ain’t that funny. Odd, that page belongs to a webring of other great 404 pages. (sighs) I guess there really isn’t anything left on the Internet that surprises me anymore.

    I don’t see what all the hype is about. I can see her site.

    A move to another host might suit you in the long run. I cant access the page persistently enough to diagnose the error.

    well thanks for your help!!
    davedorm, my post was about my wordpress help not for you to judge my 404 page. It’s stuck up people like you who I don’t want on my site. If you can’t handle humor than x out!!! I’m not trying to be a B****H but all I asked for was help not judgement. I’ve seen alot of posts were people get put down when all they needed was help. I’ll figure it out on my own. Thanks anyways…

    I think the “content” css is actually for the daily blogs. If I remember correctly, the side menu is called “menu” or something. So change your class or id for the side to “menu” or whatever similar title you see there. You can also change the size of whatever you want in your css file by setting the width you choose, e.g., width: 200px, background-color: transparent, font-size: 10px, etc.

    Still a 404. You might want to look into this.

    jenn808: Someone expressed an opinion, no need to be insulting and resort to leveling personal attacks. If you care to try again, there are many here, like Root, who enjoy helping others.
    P.S. You can edit your first post and remove the period in the link that is causing the “404” and thus got things sidetracked.

    @beel : I’m very dissapointed Root didn’t see that extra period… πŸ˜‰
    @jenn808 : I would suggest you look at your wp-layout.css file for this :
    #menu {
    background: #DCDADA;
    padding: 5px 0 0 2px;
    position: absolute;
    right: 50px;
    top: 178px;
    width: 10em;
    }

    It’s a modified version of the default template. So I presume you did not only “changed the link title to Content”… You broke your design all by yourself πŸ˜‰ What if you change the right value to 2px (default value) ? That would certainly bring your menu next to your content.

    Im not sure it will.

    You were right.
    Actually the content was set to :
    #content {
    margin: 50px 13em 0 3em;
    padding-right: 60px;
    }

    So you simply need to set the same right margin for your menu, thus declaring : right: 13em; instead of right: 50px;.
    I tried it and it works.

    Actually, the real issue is that there is a div id=”content” (which I am sure to which the above css refers) and an li id=”content” in the menu – big no-no πŸ˜‰ There are also several missing closing li’s which i am sure can’t help the layout of the menu. Of course this may all be moot as she perhaps has x’d outta here herself πŸ˜‰

    Thank you all for your responses. I’ll try all your suggestions and I’ll post if it worked or not.
    Root, I’ll try and edit my first post so that you can be able to see my page although I did make the correction in my second post. If you tried my second post link and still got a 404 I don’t know what else to say because it worked for me and others posting. Right now I see my site is down though but it gives me a “Page cannot be found” not a 404. Thanks for trying to help πŸ™‚
    Beel, posted my davedorm “Odd, that page belongs to a webring of other great 404 pages. (sighs) I guess there really isn’t anything left on the Internet that surprises me anymore.” What part of that wasn’t insulting to me? I’m sorry I didn’t mean to sound insulting on my reply to davedorm but to me it’s apparent that he doesn’t get my sense of humor and in his commemt I took it as insulting. My initial post was because I needed help and to get an “opinion” that wasn’t asked for was totally off topic.
    Thanks alot though for everyone who replied trying to help me in my situation. I will get right to it and I’ll try to find out how to edit my first post for you root. I’ve seen you help so many others and if all else fails your input would be appreciated!
