In reply to: Gutenburg Theme IssuesI went with margin-top, because applying all margins to zero makes the content and menu crowd the header a bit. Thank you for the heads up, I wouldn’t have been able to come up with that stuff without you guys :D.
Now to find a more appropriate picture for the header…

In reply to: Gutenburg Theme IssuesI’m still having problems with the image in the header bar. Can anybody shine some light on the subject?

In reply to: Gutenburg Theme IssuesI did that as well until I realized that the “comments” and “leave a comment” headers were also <h2>s, and I don’t want them aligned to the right, as it looks fairly ugly to my taste :(. That is another solution, however.

In reply to: Page not displaying in i.e. properlycss was designed to make it easier to design the site as a whole. It’s just one of those things that requires a small amount of upfront time before you get any benefits. If you actually think about it, for any blog-like site, css saves the time it takes to learn it by a factor of ten – unless you never want to change anything about your site.
Luckily enough, browsers will still show code that doesn’t validate – I suppose we should all be thankful web dev is more lenient than application design.

In reply to: Gutenburg Theme IssuesThat fixed everything, thanks 🙂
A few notes, however, for anyone else using Gutenburg that has this problem.
The
text-align: right;property is what makes the date align to the right on top of posts. Apparently the creator didn’t notice how this screwed up the “comments:” and “Leave a comment” headers, as well as the comments themselves.I used this fix:
– Change the
text-alignproperty in #content toright
– Create a new definition as such:#date {
text-align: right;
}– Modify your
index.phpfile so that this:<?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?>
Becomes this:
<?php the_date(”,'<h2 id=”date”>’,'</h2>’); ?>
That should make everything work how it was supposed to 😀

In reply to: Gutenburg Theme IssuesDamn, sorry about that. I just realized I didn’t leave a link and got back on XD.

In reply to: Editing Sidebar LinksIt’s possible that the defaults for those boxes are
<li>,<br />, and</li>, so I would try just putting some tags that will have no effect on anything in those boxes instead.For example: Before – <span> … After – </span>
Then again, that’s just something that would make sense. If it doesn’t work, hopefully someone that knows more than me can help.

In reply to: Combining search and archives into one column?I’m glad I could help! I actually have very little web development experience, so I’m trying to learn more by looking around at stuff like this and learning by thinking of what just makes sense.
On a side note, I don’t see any bullets anywhere on your site o _o. Maybe you already fixed the problem?

In reply to: Editing Sidebar LinksBy editing the category for links, did you mean changed it so that each link isn’t wrapped in a list item tag? That would be a big thing to check on.

In reply to: Combining search and archives into one column?if you look at the code, both the search element and the archives element are wrapped up in list item tags. If you take both elements and wrap them in only one set of tags, it should work much better.

In reply to: Combining search and archives into one column?Your sidebar code is most likely included into index.php as the page is being loaded, so it should reside in a different file.
Putting it all in one
<li></li>element should fix things.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to make this layout workI’m still kind of in the dark as to exactly how I would implement the “remember how the sidebar looks” part of the idea. Can anybody help me out? Just a general idea on how to make all the stuff play nice would be helpful.

In reply to: Need help with templateHave you tried looking at the css of other designs to gain some sort of starting point?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Need help with templateI recommend that you read up on css, because that’s the driving force between most styles today. Basically, creating layout is more or less about making divs with different positioning and size properties.
