I’m not sure what you mean alchymyth, do you mean I have to remove the last comma? Or something else.

okay I screwed up the file after put the div in.

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
   register_sidebar(array(
       'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
       'after_widget' => '</li>''<div class="hr"></div>',
       'before_title' => '<strong><h3 class="widgettitle">',
       'after_title' => '</h3></strong>',
   ));
}
?>

I keep getting this error where ever I put it: Parse error:

syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /functions.php on line 5

and unable to access the dashboard after. I know I can easily fix the error by rewriting it with the original and ftping it up but I don’t know where to put the div for inclusion.

thanks Esmi! however most of that in the link went right over my head. I tried to add the div tag in the after_widget part but it just went crazy and returning a syntax error. I hope it’s not too much to ask for a step by step guide.

also I want to do some editting to title font size but so that it has different font styles. here’s what I mean.

I want the font to be formatted like this:
<h3><‘strong’>Search</’strong’> all posts</h3> splitting up the first and second words with the first being in bold. this is the code but I don’t know how to automate it.

'before_title'  => '<h2 class=\"widgettitle\">',
'after_title'   => '</h2>' ); ?>

'before_widget' => '<li id=\"%1$s\" class=\"widget %2$s\">',
    'after_widget'  => '</li>',

also after ”should I add the div tag?

thx

Okay I fixed it. What I did was to move the ‘content’ div above ?php if (have_posts()) : ?> and deleted the extra </div>

thanks alchymyth, I tried it and it didn’t work. 🙁 also I am having one post on a page.

I have an open div in the header (column-Left) and closes in the main index php which could be the the cause but I’m not sure.

 <!-- Get sidebar ends -->

here’s the sidebar code with the “column-right” div inside it but the same thing happens.

hmmm. that way of writing it works fine on the html page. I think it’s correct because it’s part of the CSS cascade.

here’s the way it’s written in my htlm:

<div id=”content”>
<div id=”blog-508″ class=”blog”>
<p class=”date”>June
<span>30th</span></p>
<div class=”blog_small”>

<h2>Title</h2>
<p class=”tags”>Tags:</p>

along with the part of the CSS style sheet:

div#container div#content{
clear:both;
padding:15px 15px 0;
}

div#container div.page,
div#container div.blog{
margin:10px 0 0 0;
}
div#container div.blog p.date{
float:left;
width:65px;
height:52px;
font-size:14px;
text-align:center;
padding:10px 0 0 0;
}
div#container div.blog p.date span{
font-size:20px;
line-height:28px;
font-weight:bold;
}
div#container div.blog div.blog_small,
div#container div.blog div.blog_large{
margin:0 0 0 80px;
}
div#container div.page div h2,
div#container div.blog div h2{
font-size:26px;
margin:0 0 15px 0;
font-weight:normal;
font-family:”Trebuchet MS”,sans-serif;
