Wanted to update my recent posting, and happy to say that the issue has been resolved. It seems the hosting server was dealing with issues due to the latest WordPress hacks that have been going on in the last day or two. Hope all are safe with respect to their own WP sites, if you hadn’t heard of it, best to ensure updating your wordpress version to the latest secure version, as this has been released to help prevent the recent hacks.
Best regards,
Aline

It is definitely strange behavior 🙁
The funny thing is that I don’t have Akismet plugin installed on our site.
And from doing a bit of research it seems that Akismet would be the only other possible plugin that might cause that.
I don’t have any other ‘spam’ related plugins installed…I even uninstalled and deleted the WP-SpamFree plugin which didn’t really fix the issue.
hmmmm…mind boggling eh…

The other option I have is to upgrade our wordpress version to the latest (am running 3.3.1 right now) and see what happens.

Again, I so so so appreciate your assistance!!!!!
And still open to any other suggestions….am hopeful that we’ll get to the bottom of it and find a solution.

Looking forward and openly receiving any and all suggestions 🙂

hmmm….so I deactivated and deleted the plugin…then I went to reply to a comment and it still went to spam 🙁

Any other suggestions…thoughts?

I found the solution!!

Check this thread…and you should be able to find those sneaky “hidden” admins…and delete them 🙂

Thank you so much for responding Esmi!
I really appreciate your time & assistance 🙂

I checked the links you suggested…i’ve actually checked these resources before, and unfortunately have no idea what to do with them.

The theme i’m using (Meta-morphosis) wasn’t built by me…(it’s a free theme by WooThemes) so all these code errors i’m getting from the validation site…is foreign to me. And i’m at a loss to know how to fix them. 🙁

Mind you though, the content layout was aligning correctly before on all browsers…This is very new. It’s just recently that i’ve noticed the pages Not aligning correctly when viewed in Safari browser. On Firefox it shows correctly.

I’m not an expert on markups or validation…and even after checking the markup and css errors i still don’t know what is causing this…especially when it’s only showing incorrectly on Safari, IE & Chrome.

I just can’t seem to get my head around it. 🙁

I’m in most humble appreciation for anyone to be able to assist in any way…

Ok, i’m back! First of all spstieng, thank YOU so much for your assistance! I changes the opacity to 100, and the widgets are showing!! – very cool.

There is a couple of problems still though.
1. The recent posts & Links are only showing two lines, when there should be 10 recent posts and about 6 links ???

2. The fourth widget is overriding (on top of the first Meta widget) and when you click on the ‘next’ button to go to the next slide, it doesn’t move, in fact it just refreshes the same page. Any clue as to why this is happening???

Here is the footer.php file source (the widgets area):

<!-- start Widget slider -->
    <div id="loopedSlider">
        <div id="slider-top"></div>
        <div id="slider-block">
            <?php if (is_sidebar_active(4)) { ?>
            <ul class="nav-buttons">
                    <li id="p"><a href="#" class="previous"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/btn-prev.png" alt="<" /></a></li>
                    <li id="n"><a href="#" class="next"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/btn-next.png" alt=">" /></a></li>
            </ul>
            <?php } ?>
            <div class="container">

                    <?php if (is_sidebar_active(1) || is_sidebar_active(2) || is_sidebar_active(3)){ ?>
                    <div id="slide-1" class="slide">
                    	<ul class="widget"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(1); ?></li></ul>
                    	<ul class="widget"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(2); ?></li></ul>
                    	<ul class="widget last"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(3); ?></li></ul>
                    </div>
                    <?php } else { ?>
                    <p>This area is controlled in your WP admin under <strong>Apperance > Widgets</strong>. You need to <a href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/help-widgets.png" >add your desired widgets</a> to one of the 9 widget areas (Footer1-9).
                    <?php } ?>
                    <?php if (is_sidebar_active(4) || is_sidebar_active(5) || is_sidebar_active(6)){ ?>
                    <div id="slide-2" class="slide">
                    	<ul class="widget"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(4); ?></li></ul>
                    	<ul class="widget"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(5); ?></li></ul>
                    	<ul class="widget last"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(6); ?></li></ul>
                    </div>
                    <?php  } ?>
                    <?php  if (is_sidebar_active(7) || is_sidebar_active(8) || is_sidebar_active(9)){ ?>
                    <div id="slide-3" class="slide">
                    	<ul class="widget"><li><?php dynamic_sidebar(7); ?></li></ul>

                    </div>
                    <?php  } ?>

            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="slider-bot"></div>
    </div>
    <!-- end Widget slider -->
