    I don’t have browser stack, but I’ve tested it on the major browsers. Haven’t tested below IE8.

    Also, regarding the duplicate ID’s surrounding the WP calendar widget – for now I’ll just remove one of the widgets from my home page, as it’s WP generated code.

    Thanks for your feedback everyone.

    I will validate where possible, although it’s not always possible. Using my site as an example, webkitallowfullscreen and all the other allowfullscreen‘s are part of the embed code copied directly from Vimeo. This stuff isn’t hard coded into the theme, and if it’s a problem I’m sure Vimeo wouldn’t still be adding it to it’s own embed code.

    As for the rest, I should have used classes instead of ID’s and I will fix that now.

    @chomachomachoma thank you for the specific feedback, yes I am currently using a shared host unfortunately. This might be sorted in the future. The comments feed wasn’t working as there were no comments, I’ve added a comment now to fix that! I might add an if statement to hide the comments link if there are no comments as a better fix though.

    Thanks again everyone, and feel free to check the validator in a few minutes time!

    I’m not sure if there’s any free themes, but Googling ‘Car Dealer WordPress theme’ found these: http://themeforest.net/browse/tags/default/car%20dealer

    Might be of interest?

    The div with class entry-content is set to a width of 68.9%

    Assuming you’ve already created a page template, just add the following to the top of your page template somewhere between <head> and </head>:

    <style type="text/css">
    .entry-content {
         width: 90%;
    }
    </style>

    You can change 90% to whatever you want.

    Let me know if I’ve misunderstood your question!

    It would be possible, yes, but it’s not necessary. I can’t see that it’s that much easier to download the theme, make changes and upload it again.
    Thanks.

    Your themes comments template uses the comment_form() function to generate the reply section.

    See here: comment_form()

    You can change the title using something like this:
    comment_form('title_reply=Your Reply Text');

    This will replace comment_form(); on line 54 of comments.php.

    First of all you need to create a child theme, follow these instructions:
    Create a WordPress child theme
    Replace every instance of “Totum5” with the name of your theme.

    Next, in the folder containing your child theme, you need to create a file called “full-width.php” and add the following:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Full Width
    */
    get_header(); ?>
                   <div class="page-heading">
                      <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                <div class="clear"></div>
             </div>
             <!--Start Page Content -->
             <div class="page-content-container">
                      <div class="page-content">
                         <div class="grid_16 alpha">
                            <div class="content-bar">
    			<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                    <?php the_content(); ?>
    				<div class="clear"></div>
    				<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'black-bird' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
                <?php endif; ?>
    
        <!--Start Comment box-->
    		<?php comments_template(); ?>
                <!--End Comment box-->
    
              </div>
        </div>
    	</div>
    	 </div>
          </div>
       </div>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    This code isn’t added to the current page.php, it’s a separate page template.

    Once you’ve compressed your child theme as a ZIP, you need to go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php?tab=upload and upload the ZIP file. Install and activate it.

    Now, when you go to Pages > Add New on the right, in “Page Attributes” you should see a drop down menu called “Template”. Select “Full Width”.

    Here’s a screenshot of that: full width template

    Now just publish your page and it should be full width. If your struggling with the child theme part, tell me the name of your theme and I’ll create it for you.

    Hope this helps.

    Glad that fixed it, some versions of HTML don’t like that for some reason. I’m sure there’s lots of documentation on it though, if you wanted to find out.

    Ignore the bit about enqueuing it, I don’t think you need to – it’s already enqueued (hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong here). WordPress uses jQuery in no conflict mode though, which means you need to change any instances of “$” to “jQuery” in your scripts.

    It’s entirely up to you if you continue loading it as you are or not though.

    Also, it’s not actually necessary to import jQuery as WordPress already has it. You need to enqueue it though.

    Hmm, try changing <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"/>
    to
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    Not sure if this’ll make a difference or not, but I’m running out of ideas!

    Vbulletin is not the only forum software available, but it doesn’t sound like WordPress is ideal for what you want. I expect it can be done, but not easily as far as I am aware. Perhaps you should look up the likes of SMF and phpBB.

    What happens if you comment the ul back in? Currently it’s got li elements without a parent element which is invalid HTML and could be preventing most of the page from rendering.

    If you open up the file ‘header.php’ does it contain some code that looks a bit like this?

    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    If it does, great. Your issue now becomes a CSS issue. If it doesn’t, could you post the code here?
