As of now, I just have footer.php, header.php, and the stylesheet.

Thanks…I removed the float on the sidebar and adjusted the height to 100%, but I’m not quite sure what its aside element is (sorry, I don’t have much experience with this). I tried removing the float from the #left.sidebar primary, but it just moved the sidebar under it.

I have cleaned up the HTML code, except for one error which I can’t seem to figure out on stray end tag on <div id=”primary”>, but not only are the social media icons still vertically aligned, but now there is a string of other problems, mostly with the background colors. I’m hoping that one error is what’s causing these issues- any thoughts on where this error is coming from and how to fix it? I’m having a hard time reading the Markup Validation- it says the error is on Line 272, Column 20, but I don’t know where that is, and it doesn’t match up to my view-source page on Chrome.

I fixed the parent stylesheet link problem, but the list issues on the top navigation menu are still there. The top navigation bar is displaying a dropdown of all of the child pages, but it’s not taking into account the fact that some of those child pages are child pages of other child pages. All of the child pages, despite their parent, are in the class “children.” When I try to look this issue up online, everything says to just make a custom menu. However, my parent theme, Sandbox, does not support the custom menu function, so I can’t edit it that way. I’ve taken a look at the functions.php file in the parent theme, but I’m really not sure what to do to fix this problem through .php.

Oh, nevermind, got it! I needed to edit the main widget area, not the secondary wrapper…still getting used to this!

Thank you SO much- that worked perfectly! Yes, that code was coming from the stylesheet for a color scheme option.

I will look into Firebug, and definitely learn some more CSS. I don’t have a lot of experience with it and was originally only supposed to switch this site over to a Wordpres format for blogging purposes, but got in a little over my head when the client wanted to change a few colors and I learned that you lose your css changes when you install theme updates (which is why I created the child theme)!

Thanks again for saving me!

I added the above code to the child theme CSS, but it still didn’t change the color. I noticed in the “Inspect Element” for the site that is says:

#content {
background: #EDF6FE;}

which is causing the light blue border around the content. However, I can’t find that anywhere in my style sheet. It looks like it may be coming from a different stylesheet altogether (the URL next to it says forget-me-not.css:1). I’m not quite sure what that means or how it’s taking code from a different stylesheet. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for your help!
