In reply to: mystery quotations show up above first post<div id="topcontentdouble"></div>
<div id="content">
<div class="contentright">
" <div class="post">"
<div class="title" id="post-2">This is the offending section of source code. Though I’m not familiar with the RIN theme, I would start by looking in the single.php file and see if you can find that div class=”post” that has the quotations on either side of it, and you can then delete them, save out the file and upload. Make sure to use either an html editing program or a plaintext editor, if you use a wordprocessor you’ll have lots more marks like that showing up on saveout.
If it isn’t in single.php, then look in index.php and page.php

In reply to: Just a note for those asking “simple” questions…Oh, can I add my two bucks here? (this is worth MUCH MORE than two cents . . . and Lorelle, don’t laugh too damn hard, willya?)
Here it is–
Before you post your theme problem- VALIDATE YOUR CODE AND FIX THE ERRORS. Then if you still have a problem we’ll be happy to help, and happy to point to the pages on the codex that’ll fix things if you can’t find them yourself.

In reply to: IE spews out another problem – content aligned wrongDid this theme validate on its homepage? In other words, did you make changes that made it not validate? If so, I suggest you just trash the customized theme and start over with a fresh copy. It’s either that or start at the top of that validation error list and work your way down.

In reply to: WordPress Theme and GoLiveThough I don’t use GoLive I do often read this support board, and have read of people having problems with GoLive adding/changing code in WordPress files. I would proceed with caution, or, better yet, plan on working in a plaintext editor.

In reply to: Newbie needs customization helpKubrick, though it has its problems (like embedded css in the header file) is actually a good theme to work from because NONE OF THE PIECES ARE MISSING. If you want to customize starting with the Kubrick theme, just follow the directions here, it explains how to deconstruct and reconstruct Kubrick:

In reply to: Comments are too brief!I’m glad it worked.
Ah yes! I made this mistake when I set up my very first dbase, so it stuck in my mind as one that could be made! I’m glad things were resolved happily.
Usually when you set up the database you have to create the user, create the dbase then add the user to the dbase. If you don’t add the user to the dbase the server will not be able to access the dbase using that user/pw combo. From what you’re saying, I suspect this step wasn’t taken. If it isn’t then you can’t proceed further. I’d delete all dbases and users and start over, making sure to add the user to the database, then start with a clean install of wordpress. If all is as I said, the clean install should go right through.
I use the cpanel my host provides to handle this dbase admin stuff, though I understand phpmyadmin handles it too.
I hope this helps.

In reply to: Problems with images and layout in KubrickIt’s because it has its css in more than one place. Plus some of the choices in the css, such as defining the font on the body in ems, trigger IE font size inheritance bugs. I’m sure there are a couple other reasons.
But if you’re determined to start with that theme as your base, there is actually a lot of good about it also. It has ALL the files you’ll need to do anything, whereas some other themes don’t have all the php files, which regular readers of this support forum are aware of. Anyway, there’s an article on how to “deconstruct” and “reconstruct” this Kubrick theme that you might find helpful. This article got me up and running on themebuilding.

In reply to: How to include own pages to wp (not made via admin cp!)If the theme you use has all the css in one file it’s pretty simple to create your static pages using that css file, to carry the same look throughout your site, but you’d have to create these pages yourself. My site has static and blogged pages that match when the rare event occurs that my own default template that matches my site is active. However, if you want the dynamic stuff added, like the blogroll and linklists, the pages have to be done through WordPress as WordPress Pages. I don’t think you can call a “part” of wordpress, it’s all integral, though someone a bit more php literate might say I’m wrong.
