I've managed to do some really neat things, but I'm hung up on one thing. I've got a content width slider that sits next to the main sidebar. Under the content width slider (which is about 600px wide) I've got my posts set up to 410px wide, and then next to that I'd like to have a smaller sidebar that is 170px wide. I've figured out how to create the sidebar, but getting it to sit and stay next to the posts is proving difficult. I've managed to do this but it doesn't fully work. 1. I added the widgetarea short code above the post area bfthumb short code, this puts them next to each other but only for the 1st post. The remaining posts start after the sidebar ends. Any ideas? <img src="http://i.imgur.com/P0Wjx.png"> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/hM2CQ.png"> Then my next question is with my secondary sidebar, I want the widgets to have a different bg color than my primary one. I've tried just about every way imaginable to change it from a black background to no avail. Is there a specific way in this theme to target a specific widget for styling purposes? I'd like to custom style a couple of my widgets, but the normal way I'd target them doesn't seem to be working. Using the class feature in the short code also doesn't seem to be working. I've been all over firebug, all over inspecting elements. No dice. I'm missing something somewhere. malady on "feed blank" http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/feed-blank#post-8310 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:26:50 +0000 malady 8310@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ I'm also having this issue, though it's sporadic. The main feed works, but if I want to pull the feed by category it's hit or miss. Some categories work and pull the xml file, and some categories don't work and essentially shows you your website in html like you would see if you did a view source. There's really no rhyme or reason to which categories work and which don't. It's not a plugin issue as I disabled all plugin's and still had the issue. All my categories have their own custom template page, not sure if that makes a difference or not. modernclassics on "remove separation line above widget" http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/remove-separation-line-above-widget#post-8309 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:46:57 +0000 modernclassics 8309@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ I've inserted a third party slider as a widget using the same method suggested for inserting the BFSlider - as a widget in "Adspace - Blog home below nav". When the BFSlider is inserted, it goes directly below the nav bar with no separation line: <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sd3g_vQxq4Y/Ty18PClATmI/AAAAAAAAAxI/eV2cjdg0boA/s1155/BFSlider.JPG"> But when I insert the third party slider, I get a dividing line: <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ALfgbin1DT0/Ty18P6EhauI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/0mVfnZs1kpk/s1111/thrid%2520party%2520slider.JPG"> I've identified the code using Firebug: <h2 class="widgettitle"></h2> But nit sure which file to edit / can't find the code in my files on the server...

I also want the content of the navigation bar to start at the same position of the other content of the page (i.e. that there is some white space left and right to the content of my page). It would look like this: <a href="http://consumpsy.nl/" rel="nofollow">http://consumpsy.nl/</a> I've been adjusting the navigation parameters in the stylesheet and searching the web for two hours, unfortunately it didn't work out.

You can test this by switching to the wordpress theme twenty eleven to see if the urls work then. The question here is if your wordpress installation is working at all. Since it's the hosting 404 and not the wordpress one that is returned it's most likely an issue with your wordpress installation. It's worth resaving the permalinks (settings - permalinks), since they can cause such problems. By saving that settings page the permalinks will rebuild. vfxdude on "Double title showing up" http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/double-title-showing-up#post-8290 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:34:14 +0000 vfxdude 8290@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ that is the archive listing and to hide the category heading uncheck this theme setting: "Show Category name in the archive". btw, If you rather want category listings not showing the whole post you can use the <a href="http://youtu.be/mzFXQVhiNOs">Shortcode Template system</a>. hunter on "table style missing.." http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/table-style-missing#post-8289 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:00:44 +0000 hunter 8289@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ welcome! i am having trouble centering tables in WordPress.
