I tried removing the float from the #left.sidebar primary, but it just moved the sidebar under it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Horizontal Social Media Icon](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-social-media-icon/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-social-media-icon/#post-3507411) * I just don’t know what .php file that bit of code with the error is in…I’ve looked in all of them and just can’t find it, and when the validator tells me what line the error is on, the line number doesn’t match up with the source code of my site. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Horizontal Social Media Icon](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-social-media-icon/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/horizontal-social-media-icon/#post-3507389) * I have cleaned up the HTML code, except for one error which I can’t seem to figure out on stray end tag on
, 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. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Editing the top navigation bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/#post-3177496) * I went ahead and switched it over to a Twenty Eleven child theme- the default nav bar was already exactly how I wanted it once I made the switch! * Thanks a million for all your help! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Editing the top navigation bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/#post-3177492) * 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. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Colored boxes/border around content and widget area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/#post-3177778) * Oh, okay. For some reason I thought you could make permanent changes in Firebug. It was very helpful in finding the solution to that border issue though! * Thank you again for all your help- I appreciate it! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Colored boxes/border around content and widget area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/#post-3177776) * Oh, nevermind, got it! I needed to edit the main widget area, not the secondary wrapper…still getting used to this! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Colored boxes/border around content and widget area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/#post-3177775) * One more question- sorry! * So, after I applied that bit of code that you gave me, it got rid of most of the colored boxes. However, there is still a colored border around the main widget area that I can’t seem to get rid of. * I went in and played a bit with Firebug, and I was able to find out that there is a 5px border in the #secondary wrapper that is causing that border around my widget area. Once I set the border to 0px in the “Layout” option of Firebug, it goes away and then there’s a box shadow, which I can get rid of by setting box-shadow: none. * However, I tried making those changes in the live edit of Firebug, but it doesn’t work! I even went back to the WordPress theme editor and tried the code there, but that border is still there. * Perhaps I am doing something wrong in Firebug? It is completely new to me and am still figuring out how to navigate it. * Thanks again! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Colored boxes/border around content and widget area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colored-boxesborder-around-content-and-widget-area/#post-3177773) * 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! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Editing the top navigation bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/#post-3177477) * That is very strange.

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! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Editing the top navigation bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/) * Thread Starter [mgray1122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgray1122/) * (@mgray1122) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-the-top-navigation-bar/#post-3177429) * Yes, your are right- I did apply it to the wrong things. Thank you for catching that stupid mistake! * I just applied float:none to the li.page_item.page-item-159 through page-item- 276, which would be the child pages under “Special Events.” Unless my code is wrong (which it may be, since I don’t have much experience with lists), it still didn’t work.
