Wish I could add a screen shot – but when I check the CSS on your sidebar it doesn’t even show me the float:left; command – like when you added it it didn’t make it there.

When I use my browser to add the above code it shifts the sidebar to the left – and looks great.

Sorry it was no help.

On your theme you will probably want to target .sidebar-primary in CSS

.sidebar-primary {

float: left; !important

}

Go to Appearance>Customize and choose Additional CSS tab section on that menu to the left.

Add the above code and it should work. I made it work in my browser so that CSS is sound. Just find the Additional CSS tab, add it, and save it.

Cheers

It looks like you need to go into your Comments settings to allow people who aren’t logged in to comment as well.

On your dashboard go to Settings>Discussion

Make sure that
‘Allow people to post comments on new articles’
‘Anyone posts a comment’
are checked –

Make sure that
‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment’
‘A comment is held for moderation’
‘Comment author must have a previously approved comment’
are un checked until you see that comments start to populate.

I would make sure your email is correct in your site because I like to make sure that I am in control of what is being posted on my site by checking ‘A comment is held for moderation’. It will email you when someone comments so that you can moderate it – if not you can check the Comments tab in your WordPress dashboard.

Here’s a great overview of comment settings in the WordPress codex…

I don’t know if that image will work too well.

Usually you set a background image that is repetitious – like your .png would have those multi-color balloons throughout the background image without the white space in it.

Then where your content was added you would add a background color / gradient to make the verbiage visible.

You can play with your div sizes, etc. on different devices to see what works best in that case. In this scenario there’s more control over padding a margin of the white space.

Hope that makes sense –

Hey,

The site looks really good – great work.

There’s two issues that I am seeing.

1.) it took quite awhile for your server to respond to my browser’s request for your website – so there is an issue there.

2.) While your images may not be too big – they are everywhere on the first page of your site. I have been on your site for at least 10 minutes and it is still loading images on the front page, because there are so many. This is the biggest issue.

I would try removing the blog feed from your front page or changing the blog setting to only show a summary instead of the whole post. You can change your blog settings to display a summary of the post in Settings>Reading and then find ‘For each article in a feed, show’ and click on ‘Summary’ then Save Changes. https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen

Your content is awesome so removing the blog feed from the front page won’t harm but will probably help people navigate your site better. I would place a few 2-3 of your favorite images in its place possibly. Add the *short code* you removed from the front page and add it to your ‘Blog’ page. And add the Blog selection to your primary menu in Appearance>Menus.

Good luck!

It sounds like an issue with your database. Like the permissions are not set up correctly, or it’s an old structure. Had a similar issue earlier today on a site.

I went through this tutorial and got out of my tailspin….

http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/333-add-admin-via-mysql

Basically adding a new admin user via your host services in phpMyAdmin.

Then you can use the new admin to clean up your user issues – hopefully.

Good Luck.

I use xampp often – the only thing I would do to quickly see if it’s a xampp issue is if you have a live WordPress site – upload the plugin and see if it comes up with the same browser.

May be some permissions issues or SQL settings – you can see them in your my.ini file.

The plugin seems to have a lot of documentation – if what I am looking at is what you’re using – you may also want to ask this question on their Support forum as well.
