Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: IE Problems with modified default theme@stvwlf = Thank You! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this really really useful wisdom.
I have applied some of this knowledge and begun to fix the problem. Your methods helped me uncover some simple coding issues in my sidebar text widgets that were indeed the culprit.
If you are having problems with ie, and you are a beginner like me who uses a lot of text widgets, that’s a good place to start.
I highly recommend using stvwlf’s advice for (beginners) labeling the major template files with comments, it helped me learn about what is happening with the page load.
Iridiax was right to assume it would be a more or less basic coding error: I had my
- and
- tags mixed up and not closing properly, it made ie go berserk (and rightfully so)
Thanks, main problem solved, coding errors being worked on… go the smackdown on that one 😉
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: IE Problems with modified default themeYes, I humbly accept that I have created many errors. Tis true…
IE 5 is causing me problems, ie 6 on the pc I tested on this morning. I will attack my widgets, we are using an amazing amount of text widgets and there is a good chance that the problem lies there.
I am just starting to the hang of css and php via wordpress, so I expect many errors… but I will work to fix them, and in doing so hopefully understand it more.
One problem I have with simple points that stvwlf makes (thanks so much for your feedback and commentary!) is that in fixing my divs, I am kind of stupid and don’t even know which actual file to edit, as in, do I open sidebar.php? do I open header.php? I know this sounds amazingly rudimentary but that’s how I currently roll.
Thanks iridiax and thanks stvwlf for your help, I think it gets me one step closer.
