doodlebee, thanks so much for all your replies. yes i edited for the margins, thanks for pointing that out. but i went back to my old theme as there are just too many bugs in this new one. darn, defeated by another wordpress theme!
Ah, now I understand. You are using IE? Yes just changed browswer and realised that the text is flush in IE, so you’re right I just need the margins. In FF though the text is not flush.
Please don’t tell me this is getting complicated. How do I get FF to show what IE does?
i need the { display: inline } code somewhere in there to get the images to wrap round the image right? yes the margins are wonky too, i haven’t got around to working on that. i can only handle one html problem at a time!
doodle bee, i added to the end as well as in various sections like img, full-posts etc.
Off topic but the categories and archives widgets push the post numbers to the next line. any ideas there would be appreciated!
Wow, thanks for the quick response. I’ve just activated the theme that doesn’t work. Look at the images in the sidebar, or follow the excerpts to the full posts. Funny thing is the alignment works fine in the excerpts, and I think that’s because the code uses ‘thumbnails’ in the excerpt coding.

In reply to: Can’t move widgetsHi I’m having the same problem except that it wasn’t a plug-in. It was Alexa and I’ve deleted it (using a Mac so I just moved it to the Trash) but the problem remains. Any ideas how to re-set the widget settings so I can drag and drop again?

In reply to: “Error establishing a database connection” (new install)Thanks Chaosprime for the tip. I didn’t log on till after I’d solved the problem which apparently was not a firewall issue though that’s a good thing to bear in mind in future.
I tried lots of things like changing DB name ‘localhost’ to ‘Localhost’ in the wp-config.php file, since I’m using a Mac and apparently some Mac users have that issue. So if any of you are Mac users that may help.
What solved my problem was reading a post here that GoDaddy, which I use as a server, does not recognise ‘localhost’. I emailed GoDaddy which confirmed it. I had to go into my server account, log into my SQL database and copy the exact number into the config file. The number looks a lot like what Chaosprime posted, just as series of numbers separated by periods.
Rocknation, the other thing I struggled with after sorting out the server connection issue was an error message on the URL. If your WordPress is in a separate folder, you have to tell your domain to locate the blog-header.php file inside the WP folder. Open the index.php file in the main html or root, then change ‘…/blog-header.php’ to …/wordpress/blog-header.php’ assuming your folder is called wordpress. If not just type in your folder name instead of ‘wordpress’.
Gosh I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about! And I’m a complete newbie to html and servers and wordpress. Amazing what 3 days worth of being driven up the wall can teach you!
Thanks all.
