Hello. I thank you deeply for taking this clearly precious time to help me 🙂 Sadly though, nothing worked for me. I hope it is a mistake ive made.

As for the first solution, I did the following:

In the Index, I found:

<?php if(function_exists('the_content_limit')) { ?>
<?php the_content_limit(500);  ?>

I replaced them with

<?php the_excerpt() ?>
<span class="read_more"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="/al-rasid/personal/wp-content/uploads/more.gif" alt="read more" title="Read more..." /></a></span>

Then, in functions.php, whose full content is:

<?php
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/controlpanel.php');
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
    register_sidebars(2);
?>

just before the ?>' , I added:

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 20;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

However, nothing works. It reports syntax errors all the time.

__________________________

With the second solution U suggested, I tried the following combinations, None of them worked, either give fatal error, or the post content doesnt load at all , though the full index show up.

echo "'><img src='"/al-rasid/personal/wp-content/uploads/more.gif"' alt='"read more"' title='"Read more..."' /></a></p>";

echo "'><img src="/al-rasid/personal/wp-content/uploads/more.gif" alt='"read more"' title='"Read more..."' /></a></p>";

echo "'><img src='/al-rasid/personal/wp-content/uploads/more.gif' alt='"read more"' title='"Read more..."' /></a></p>";

echo "'>'<img src='"/al-rasid/personal/wp-content/uploads/more.gif"' alt='"read more"' title='"Read more..."' />'</a></p>";

Thank you my friend.
I tried your suggestion and a bunch of others, but none is working.

UP (desperately)

UP

PLEASE !! ANYBODY ?

Thank you very much for your interest. I wish you follow up with me till the end .

Look what I have done, I am sure what I am gonna tell you will be important.

1- I restored the ORIGINAL non localized version of the sidebar.php.
2- I added the built in widgets of Tags, Archive, Links, Search, Pages, and Categories.
3- I saved changes, and the widgets of the Tags and the Archive and the Search appeared chopped from bottom. The others (Pages, Cats, and Links) appeared Ok.

To make sure the bug is not in the localized CSS, I restored the original CSS of the Original theme, and the chopped widgets still appear as they are. See this image:

SO it is not in the localized version but rather a major bug in the original theme. I assume it is in the sidebar.php. There should be somewhere where the shape of these faulty widgets is defined, and there is a mistake there that needs to be fixed.

Thank You again

Bump againnn
