Title: Post Text Overlaps Sidebar Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Post Text Overlaps Sidebar * Resolved [hmnim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marktiddy/) * (@marktiddy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/) * Hi, * I have a slight issue with my current theme Skirmish which I really like but my homepage which is also my post page has the text overlapping the sidebar. This only happens on the homepage and when there is more than one post on a page. If you click an individual post it’s fine. * Can anyone work out why it’s doing this? I can’t seem to figure it out. * My site is: [http://marktiddy.co.uk](http://marktiddy.co.uk) * Thank you * Mark Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/page/2/?output_format=md) * [vtxyzzy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtxyzzy/) * (@vtxyzzy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928443) * Have you corrected the problem? I cannot see any text overlapping at the link you provided using Firefox or IE9. * Thread Starter [hmnim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marktiddy/) * (@marktiddy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928473) * No I haven’t. I know it works in IE and Firefox just not in Chrome or Safari… it’s bizarre * [vtxyzzy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtxyzzy/) * (@vtxyzzy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928500) * At lines 411-416 of style.css you find these lines: * ``` @media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){ #content { margin: 0 10% 0 0; }} /*end safari hack */ @media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){ .page #content, .single #content { margin: 0 22% 0 0; }} /*end safari hack */ ``` * If I change the 10% margin to 22%, there is no overlap. It is possible that this hack is no longer needed. * Thread Starter [hmnim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marktiddy/) * (@marktiddy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928503) * Thank you! * that’s fixed it in Safari but not in Chrome…hmm * [vtxyzzy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtxyzzy/) * (@vtxyzzy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928504) * Odd – it worked for me in Chrome.

When I look at the css in Firebug, it is still set at 10% as before. Changing it to 22% removes the overlap. * Perhaps you can search other css files for the 10%. * Thread Starter [hmnim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marktiddy/) * (@marktiddy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928513) * It’s very strange, I’ve pulled up all the CSS files in the theme folder and can’t find any reference to 10% in any of them * [vtxyzzy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtxyzzy/) * (@vtxyzzy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928515) * Are you using a WP caching plugin? * Thread Starter [hmnim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marktiddy/) * (@marktiddy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928516) * Nope, I’m accessing the file directly through FTP * [vtxyzzy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtxyzzy/) * (@vtxyzzy) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-text-overlaps-sidebar/#post-2928517) * If you have a WP caching plugin, you should clear it.
