    Hey everybody,

    I hope you can help. My site http://www.redstarrecruitment.com has a slider on the front page. I am using a modified version of the backstage theme. My sidebar is positioned below the slideshow, but I want it to be aligned inline with that. What have I done wrong?

    Ps this is my 2nd site I have made and I usually just get things working by trial and error.

    You have the slider div (#loopedSlider) above the content div — if you want it side by side with the sidebar, then you need to put it in the #col-left div — and change the CSS for the slider so that the width fits in the #col-left div. Also probably remove the margin settings for the slider — or adjust as needed.

    Thanks mate – total noob here, forgive me for asking stupid questions… Should that be done in index.php?

    Since you said you were using a modified theme, I figured you’d already messed with it… You are, I HOPE, using a child theme, right?

    I’m definitely not a php whiz like some people on here, but it looks like you should be able to move it by moving this section

    <?php
if(get_option('woo_slider') == "true"){
include_once 'includes/slider.php';
}
?>

    move to just below `<div id=”main”>’

    BUT before you change anything, make a copy of this index.php file so you can easily change it back if it does not work…

    LOL! Not quite…like I said, still getting the php angle on this, so I’m glad it worked!
