News Style Themes Problem

    Hello,

    I have tried to install some of the more magazine/news site style themes, but each time, the tables are all out of wack. The header is fine, but the body is messed up.

    I am an avid coder, and can’t find anything wrong with the actual theme. I have tried this, and have had problems with 3 themes.

    Am I missing something?

    I have tried the Original Premium News from WooThemes, and Quarx from Themelabs.

    I can’t remember the 3rd. I didn’t like the looks anyway, and deleted it.

    Specificly, when you see the page, some of the columns are below everything else, instead of where they should be.

    I even tried on a fresh install of WP, so I think I am missing a plugin or something.

    Thanks!

    Sounds far more like a CSS issue. A link to your site demonstrating the problem might help…

    esmi: I’ll have a link later today. I’ll put it on a testbed, since I can’t take down my live site.

    Pages work, but frontpage doesn’t

    (note: I didn’t go through and re-add all the categories)

    The large box is for “Featured Content”, and it slides images and such across with a post title and excerpt.

    Let me know if you need the admin details for the site. I can get an account for you if needed.

    You have a JavaScript error:

    Message: ‘featuredcontentglider’ is undefined
    Line: 26
    Char: 2

    I noticed that. Didn’t get it on the live site. I’ll trace it down and find what’s missing.

    Missed the scripts folder. My bad. Re-uploaded everything. Still the layout problem.

    EDIT:
    Yes, I know it has no images, that is something I have to configure in each post, as a custom field. This is just a feature of the theme.

    I tried originally with each one configured, and still the layout issue, so, unless absolutely necessary, I would prefer not to have to configure images for each post.

    I’d suggest that you start by sorting out some of the validation errors in your theme/site.

    Wow, I love how people advertise themes as Valid XHTML or CSS, and yet they have tons of errors…

    I’ll take a look through when I have time over Christmas Break (finals next week, and I unfortunately have to study).

    Thanks Esmi.

    Hi zoomerx, I am working with this same theme now and had the same problem as yours as far as I can see from the link you’ve given.

    I solved the problem by setting a height value for most-discussed box in the master.css & ie.css.

    #most-discuss {
	float:right;
	width:210px;
        height:277px;
	background:#2c2929;
	margin:7px 7px 7px 0;
	border:1px solid #404040;
	}

    I am not sure if this is the best solution but it works for me.
