In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeThe page that the form is on is a custom page template. The custom page template acts as a post page where I can add content via wp admin. The content content area is full width (no sidebar) but the header and footer code are included. I can remove the footer area from this template so you see that I’m not writing in the footer area.

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeI have no problems with the 3 widget areas in the footer section and yes, I do use firebug. My issue is with the form displaying in the main content area of prosocialroi.com/optin

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeCould you tell me where to change the width of the text widget? Please understand that I pasted the form from a html page into a WordPress page using the html, not visual pane.
FYI: When I think of text widgets, I think only of sidebar widgets, not widgets in the main content area aka body container.

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeNow, how do I fix the form text to display correctly on page? I want the text to be on one line and not broken into 2 lines
ex. I’ll show you how to quickly list your business FREE!The form text displays perfectly on an html page –> view [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/34fmume.png[/IMG]
However, the form isn’t displaying correctly on the WordPress 2011 child theme page –> see –> [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/21oav5j.png[/IMG]
Here is the form code on the WordPress page: http://pastebin.com/zVyrbrza

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child theme@alchymth, now that was a glaring error I made and it’s fixed now. I then retried
.confirmation {width: 40%;}and I tried#confirmation {width: 40%}in .css and either property works — ie. text is adjusted to desired width.WPyogi alerted me to hundreds of markup errors that I have to clean up. What’s worse, the site’s not displaying in IE at all. I doubt that the errors are causing the IE problem — what do you think?

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeI want to adjust the inside section only — the text area cause it doesn’t look good stretched the entire width of the page. I’ll check the errors with the css validator.

In reply to: Adjust text width on custom page 2011 child themeHi esmi,
I’ve got firebug.
In WP admin page, I added the following div tag above the text but that didn’t fix it. I also replaced the css with
#confirmation {width=400px;}
<div id=”confirmation” class=”confirmation” style=”margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px; width=”400px;” border=”0px solid #ffcc00″; background-color=”none;”>

In reply to: Images not display in 2011 widget areaI was missing a > tag so that’s why the image didn’t display.
<html> <body> <a href="http://www.prosocialroi.com/contact-us"><img src="/images/callmeagain.png" width="180" height="180" alt="Call me today."></a> </body> </htm>FYI: Some folks use the following code for images but my image was hyperlinked to another page:
<a href="/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/sidebar/sidebox.jpg" width="236" height="226" alt="Titan WordPress Theme" /></a>I appreciate your input.
I cleaned up most of the css errors in the child theme and as a result, the top nav image icon now shows on the About page 🙂
The css errors in the child theme that still require fixing relates to colors and the helper stated that “Such things as background/foreground are not very reliably detected by code, if it looks fine in browser I’d not bother trying to get it to validate.”
I now know how to fix most validation error and will work to ensure that the parent css isn’t messing up the css changes and the syntax I use.
Thanks to everyone 🙂
Someone just shared that he was able to add and view .page-item-4 using Firebug. He said that my “CSS file seems to have several issues with brackets improperly closed and such. That might be why rules fail to apply.”
My question:
I went to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ but it’s showing the .css for 2011 parent file and the child theme ought to override it.
Should I make make the suggested http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ changes in the child theme and see if my child theme changes work? I can make some changes easily but others may be beyond me. And the css validator makes a difference between css2 and css3 properties.
Also, the DigitalRaindrops author did suggest using custom-style.css in the child theme when making changes but I’ve been using the child .css since it didn’t look like the custom-style.css was taking changes.What do you think?

In reply to: Move default 2011 sidebar to the left side in Child ThemeFYI: I’ve found it easier to use this code to add the sidebar to 2011 child theme using this code
http://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/twenty-eleven-sidebar-on-single-posts-and-pages instead of adding page templates for left and right sidebars.The code will place the sidebar on the same side of the page as the index/homepage. If you want to customize your sidebar locations then I suggest using the page templates for the left and right sidebars.

Yes, I regularly use Firebug. I cleared the cache. I do agree that image path is important — I use the full path since the /images/ doesn’t always work for me.
I’d like to add an image on the navigation text links. For example, instead of the text link “About”, I’d like an image link. On the child theme .css, I just tried the following code instead of the #menu-item-(4)

In reply to: Syntax error in 2011 child theme headerOops! It was the code for the search box in header.php:
<div class="only-search<?php if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) : ?> with-image<?php endif; ?>"> <?php get_search_form(); ?> </div> <?php else : ?> <?php get_search_form(); ?> <?php endif; ?>Now I’m trying the following code but it’s not working on my 2011 child theme either:
