Posts Dont Display Properly on Theme

What Theme are you using?

(Please also add the Theme name as a tag.)

Okay, what do you mean by:

…the posts are broken apart into individual sections

Are you referring to the style applied to the content column, where on TravelsWithNathan, the content column displays as a contiguous column, and in CoffeeShopDating, each post has its own background/border?

Yes, that does help clarify. 🙂 At first, I thought you were having issues with the display of the content itself.

Your issue is entirely CSS-dependent. I would recommend reviewing your site using Firefox Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools, to get an idea of what elements you need to re-style.

For starters, take a look at div#content, which is the “content” column for your Theme, and div.postFrame, which is the container for each post.

I would recommend creating a Child Theme, which will enable you to experiment with modifications, while not messing up the original code.

Start here:

Basically, create a blank style.css file, and add the following header comments:

/*
Theme Name:     Dovetail Child
Description:    Child theme for the Dovetail Theme
Template:       dovetail
*/

Then, import the dovetail style.css file:

@import url("../dovetail/style.css");

Then, below that, add any modifications.

Now, upload your style.css to wp-content\themes\dovetail-child\.

Now, go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes, and activate your Child Theme.

That’s it! Everything should look exactly the same as Dovetail. Add any modifications to your Child Theme’s style.css. Play around with it, and find what works.

If you mess up, just delete everything after the @import, and start over.
