# WordPress Formatting Errors

 * I bought a domain and installed WordPress on it years ago. Since then I decided
   to make a free wordpress website at [http://www.secondaryentertainment.wordpress.com](http://www.secondaryentertainment.wordpress.com)
   
   I’m migrating it to my other one.
 * I want my website to work with the **twenty fourteen theme** but it’s giving 
   me constant formatting errors, because it’s old even with updates.
 * 1. The slider on the top of the page doesn’t work as it does in the theme
    2.
   The post on the main page still has a white bar where the header was 3. The post
   page images don’t stretch across the page. Separately, how am I supposed to get
   plugins that I can use to look like the one I already made? The alternatives 
   I have just don’t look as smooth.

 * Honestly, I can’t tell which is the original and which is the copy. Are you moving**
   to** wordpress.com or **from** wordpress.com?
    Obviously, the themes and plugins
   there and here are a little different. You’ll have to work within whichever environment
   you choose to be in.

 * I’m moving from the wordpress.com to the .com website. This is me recreating 
   the original using what I have available.
    I have the same setup on both websites
   except my .com one won’t give me half of what the .wordpress.com has available–
   stock widgets (unnamed) and improper formatting.

 * Hi!
 * For this:
 * > The slider on the top of the page doesn’t work as it does in the theme
 * It’s a setting in the Customize section. It’s the featured content setting in
   particular. I’m guessing the current layout setting is **Grid**.
 * So to clarify a little bit, you’re trying to move from secondaryentertainment
   to the davids one, correct? Or is it the other way around?

    I set it to 
   slider, but it took up over twice the same amount of space. instead of 3 objects
   and a slider to move to the next 3, it was one giant article twice as high and
   stretching across the page.
 * Yes to the second question. I’m **remaking** it on the .com.

 * Gotcha.
 * Was that altered somehow? From what I can remember the slider is not a typical
   behavior when using the grid option. I know the amount of posts shown can be 
   changed though. It’s been quite some time since I last fiddled with that theme
   though so I could be wrong.
 * As for the white bar, can you clarify a little more on this?
