Problem with Featured Content Gallery alignment.

I had to take down the new site while I continue with the maintenance, but here are the sources:

	<?php query_posts("showposts=4&category_name=Featured"); $i = 1; ?>

      <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="clearfloat">

	foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>

	<div id="cat-<?php echo $i; ?>" class="category">

The Featured Content Gallery script is:
`<?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/content-gallery/gallery.php’); ?>’ and it can be found on line 9 of the index. When viewing the page, the gallery aligns itself to the center of the site overlapping the sidebar, rather than being nicely aligned to the left as it should. I could really use some help on this, it’s so frustrating.

No one knows?

Something else strange I’ve noticed is that I’ve got this:

<div id="headline">	

<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

<b>Most Popular</b> | <b>Recent Reviews</b>
- list content
- list content
- list content
- list content 

</div>

Logically, you’d think that since the Content Gallery plugin is aligning itself to the center that the “Most Popular | Recent Reviews” etc. below it would be in the center as well. But they’re not. They’re aligned to the left where they’re supposed to be, and the Content Gallery is parallel to it, flush. I really have no idea why this is happening. I switched to another theme, dropped in the plugin script, and it worked just fine. What is it about this theme (or perhaps headline css) that needs to be edited to stop causing this?

I’ll have the site live for the next few hours as I’m working on other sections. Please take a look at it.

Thanks for replying. I’ve messed with it some more and I am almost positive it’s a conflict between the theme and the plugin.

This issue still stands unresolved. Does anyone have any ideas on how to adjust either the plugin or the theme to work properly with the other?

I’ve contacted the developer of the Featured Content Gallery, but I am yet to hear back. I’m obviously not alone with this problem.

It’s a matter of going into the gallery.php of the plugin and removing an additional div tag that pulls from the “featured” in the style sheet css. That extra div tag messes everything up.

Glad to have this resolved. Hopefully my frustration and endless tinkering helps someone out in the future.
