Problems with the Marla theme

    I have the same problem as the message I have copied below but I don’t have the “follow me” widget. So I don’t understand why this is happening on my page! Please help. Thanks.

    Either the first time a user loads the main page (mostly), or if they go to another sub page (like “About” or “Contact”) and then comes back to the main page (almost always), the posts overlap each other very badly so you can’t read them. They basically “stack up” on top of each other and the only way to “fix” it is to click and drag the dimensions of the screen until they “unstack” and flow into a different layout.

    When I test my site at different resolutions for mobile, tablets, and screen sizes at quircktools.com/screenfly it happens there too, no matter what I do.

    HELP? 🙂 I really want to keep this theme but this is a pretty big issue right on my main page

    Hi,

    I see the issue. The problem is the facebook widget, you must wrap it on a div and give it a height with CSS so don´t overlap.

    <div style="height:350px">

/* your code for the facebook widget

</div>

    Regards

    Hi Ceslava,

    Thank you for responding. I am a novice at WordPress so all of that meant very little to me I am afraid. Is there any way to break it down to very basic instructions?

    The same happens with the twitter feed box that I had on there, so I just ended up deleting it from the page.

    I am also under the impression that with a basic wordpress account i am unable to change the css on my themes, is this correct?

    Thank you

    I am also now having the problem that I cannot link my facebook fanpage in the social media section. All of my other social media has connected. Is it the way that I am typing it?

    The facebook page URL is:

    http://www.facebook.com/solitarysociety

    If you could tell me where I am going wrong here that would be great too.

    Thank you

    Hi again,

    You can edit the CSS on the customisation page of my theme there´s one option, the very last at the bottom to do that but.

    But what I meant is that if you have added a HTML widget like the twitter and FB with HTML code you can actually insert some inline CSS.

    About the link to FB you just need the last part: solitarysociety

    OKay – I have worked out the facebook issue – thank you.

    I have copied and pasted the code into the css in the customisation option you have – this seems to have worked too. Thank you.

    I could not work the text widget – it didn’t seem to change anything.

    Lastly, I have added the twitter feed, back into my page. Can you take a look and give me the code to add for this also.

    Thank you
