Really sorry Thomas – the version of GTM4WP had not been updated. I’ve been working with fresh installations recently so had not checked what version was installed.

Apologies again and thanks for a great plugin.

Hi there

I changed the CSS slightly to make it work for me:

/*three footer widgets for sidebar-front.php styles*/
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.template-front-page.three-sidebars .widget-area .widget {
 width: 100%; }
.template-front-page.three-sidebars .widget-area .first.front-widgets,
.template-front-page.three-sidebars .widget-area .second.front-widgets,
.template-front-page.three-sidebars .widget-area .third.front-widgets {
       float: left;
        margin-right: 3.7%;
        width: 30.85%;}
.template-front-page.three-sidebars .front-widgets + .front-widgets + .front-widgets {
 margin-right: 0;}

So I’ve added a bit of CSS from Zeaks. Looks great in FireFox and Chrome. But not IE8.

Is this part of wider issues with IE8 or perhaps specific to the code you’ve created Alcymyth? I’ll have to experiment bit more and read up on IE8 issues.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I probably need to change themes in the near future but for now I’d like to stick with Twenty Eleven as I’ve not got a great deal of time to work on the site (and I don’t want to rush a bad job), so I was looking for a bit of inspiration from how other people had modified Twenty Eleven so I could make do in the short term.

Thanks very much for the replies, much appreciated.

I’m surprised that it is the update that is causing problems but it it pretty clear that the problem is my end.

I will get in touch with the server guys- I don’t like to bother them too much as it was an effort to get WP installed in the first place!

Understandably they are security focussed. I’ll reply when I’ve had a response from them.

Thanks for your reply!

With the debug mode active I get this message:

Before I didn’t have to set any special permissions for the plugins folder – has this changed in 2.8.4? What permissions do I need to set for the plugins folder? I don’t have direct access in this case unfortunately.
