 * Having problems with updating the theme to the latest version (2.1.4, July 19th
   2013)? All your settings should be saved in the database so there should be no
   need to worry.
 * You’ll ‘lose’ your widgets but they’ll still be in the widgets section (Appearance/
   Widgets) at the bottom (‘Inactive Widgets’) and can be dragged into the widgets
   area on the right.
 * Make sure that you go to Appearance/themes and that you have the right theme 
   selected (it should be a gray image with a sidebar on both the left and right
   and content in the middle).
 * You might also find that your header image is no longer showing – go to
    Appearance/
   Header in the left sidebar and upload an old copy of the image. If you don’t 
   have an old copy go to Media/library in the left sidebar, find your image and
   click on it. On the top right it should say ‘file url’. Copy that url e.g. [http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/image.jpg](http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/image.jpg)
   and paste it into your browser (e.g Internet Explorer, Firefox) and you should
   be taken to a copy of your image that you can then save to your computer (right
   click, ‘Save Image as).
 * This was a major update – usually updating is far more seamless than this.

 * Good morning! Well, I hate to bother you, but I am having trouble since the update.
   It’s not YOU – it’s ME. My header image is being cut off by the sidebars, both
   left and right, because the color of the sidebars run right up through the header,
   slicing off the ends of my image picture.
    Also, I can’t make the right sidebar
   get back over to the right. It is down under the page hanging next to the left
   sidebar – towards the middle of the page. I found the widgets and put them back
   in the right sidebar, and they are right – but the whole right sidebar is not
   in the right place. I love your theme because I can pick colors for everything.
   All was going well and I had it all figured out how to do stuff – (I’m not a 
   genius and don’t know how to do all that code stuff – I can just check and uncheck
   boxes. I wish I had not taken the update, because now, I don’t know what to do.
   Thanks for any help you can give me. Hugs Donna Dallman [http://www.az-desertriders.com](http://www.az-desertriders.com)

 * P.S. – also my page width is set for liquid 100, but it does not fill the center
   of the page anymore.

 * P.S. to my P.S.
    I can’t explain this one! OMG! Honestly – I did NOT touch or
   change anything – and suddenly, when I just went to the site to see it – IT WAS
   ALL BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THE UPDATE!!!! I didn’t do anything – so you must
   have fixed something! Whatever happened – I sure hope it holds! Thank you for
   whatever you did! I am so happy I can still use your theme, because it is a great
   one! BIG HUGS Donna Dallman [http://www.az-desertriders.com](http://www.az-desertriders.com)

 * Hi azdesert,
 * Just had a look at your site and it looks fine – fills up the page, and the sidebars
   stop beneath the top image. Checked in Firefox, Internet explorer and Chrome.
 * maybe a cache issue? Need to refresh browser?
 * See the image here

 * I note that you have rounded top corners on the top image – you can make them
   square in the section called ‘Rounded corners’ at the bottom of the options page

 * Good evening —
 * I have had a small problem ever since the upgrade. Prior to the upgrade I was
   able to choose “Page without sidebars” and fill the entire space with text, which
   was great. Ever since the upgrade, though, the text on my Page Without Sidebars
   pages reverts to the width of the sidebar page and sits on the left rather than
   center.
 * Here is an example: [http://wgrl.net/halloween-books-for-kids/](http://wgrl.net/halloween-books-for-kids/)
 * Do you have any suggestions?
 * thanks very,
 * Martha

 * Whoops, my mistake. You need to get the following either into the bottom of style.
   css
 *     ```
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars,
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars-or-a-title,
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars-or-a-space-at-the-top {
       border:none;
       margin:0;
       padding:0;
       width:100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * or put this into the top box on the options page (Add CSS, javascript or shortcode
   in the head element of all pages of your website_
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars,
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars-or-a-title,
       body.page div.content-page-without-sidebars-or-a-space-at-the-top {
       border:none;
       margin:0;
       padding:0;
       width:100%;
       }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * The centering has been caused by whoever wrote that page because the paragraph
   tags look like this:
 * `<p style="text-align: center;">`
