    I need help I am working on a semi-custom site build, I will admit I am completely out of my depth on this deal but I didn’t have a choice with the time constraints and clients limited budget… Again, I need help bad.

    I have been working endlessly in customizing the home page on this site for a client of ours. I have the home page layout almost perfect but now that I have started adding content pages I have a serious layout problem on the content pages. I have no idea what to do to fix the problem, I hope that there is some sort of line of code that I am missing.

    I have used css to make most of the adjustments to this theme

    This is the link for the home page (perfect)
    http://stockcarracing.dpgsandbox.com/

    Here is one of my content pages that is all messed up.
    http://stockcarracing.dpgsandbox.com/competitors/

    This is the link to the original theme if that helps.
    https://flexithemes.com/demo/Limousine/

    I’ll give the admin info to someone who can help me or at least point me in the right direction.

    Thank you

    Generally I get a response from someone… even if its to tell me I’m an idiot. I really need the help on this, can anyone out there give me some advice?

    Hi!

    Dug through the source code of the problem page and found an HTML tag mismatch.

    <div id="Content-sidebar" class="secondary">
    Was on line 654 (of the HTML, it’ll be a different spot in your template file).

    It didn’t have a closing tag, so it was throwing off the whole page. Removing that line should make a huge difference.

    When you look for it, find the second reference to that ID. There’s also another duplicate, empty <div> just below it named ‘content-sidebar‘. I don’t think that one is hurting anything, but it can probably also be removed.

    Good luck! 🙂

    Awesome! Glad it’s fixed 🙂

    If you want to clean up the code a little more, you should be able to eliminate that div entirely, since it’s both empty, and a duplicate ID.

    And I’ll definitely let you know next time I’m up near Buffalo 🙂
