In reply to: Nav Bar bottom decoration creeps with hoverMoshu,
I didn’t respond to those points because it was not clear to me that you were responding to the question I asked. I have adjusted the links admin, which was incorrect as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect my resulting source code.
If I change my sidebar code to <?php get_links_list(‘name’); ?>, the links bar on the website changes to read:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘name’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name, auto_toggle, show_images, show_description, show_rating, show_updated, sort_order, sort_desc, text_before_link, text_after_link, text_after_all, list_limit FROM wp_linkcategories WHERE cat_id=nameCareful reading goes both ways. I can’t follow your advice if you haven’t understood the problem.

In reply to: Nav Bar bottom decoration creeps with hoverAll I did was add the code I noted above to the sidebar.php. The link.php was already part of the package. As I said before, I didn’t code the part that generated the source code you quoted. Since that code came with the template, it’s a lot harder for me to debug someone else’s error than it is for me to backtrack and undo my own.
Your directions so far have assumed I was responsible for code placement in the source code you quoted. Since all I did was add:
<li class=”listHeader”><h2><?php _e(‘Links’); ?></h2>
<?php wp_get_links(‘sort_column=name’); ?>to the sidebar file. Since it does not appear to me that this code would have generated the source code error, it is not clear to me how to fix the mistake at all. Did I not add the correct code in the right place, or does this have to be fixed somewhere else?

I haven’t touched any of the code in either case, except to change the graphical elements. Everything I know about CSS I’ve learned in the past 48 hours (and frankly, I think I’ve done a pretty good job under the circumstances). The only code I changed was to add the links to the sidebar.php in this instance. Everything that got filled in afterwards was what I was given.
If you look at the test page for F3Green and click on the title of the first post, you will see that the resulting page (in IE, at least) gives you the same results that I experienced after spending many hours adapting the main page to fit my graphical outlay. If you click on the Archive link for the month on that site, you will also see that the footer changes width.
I don’t mess with code I don’t understand, and frankly it’s not very helpful to me when you keep making assumptions that I’m stupid or making mistakes instead of helping me to figure out what is wrong. It’s hard enough trying to figure out how to adapt things that work, let alone the frustration of realizing that I’ve been struggling with something that is inherently wrong with the program. I’m just doing my best.

I’m afraid I don’t understand. The template included a php for the links, but no code to insert it. I didn’t write the sourcecode for the links section – the php built it that way, taking the links from the wordpress admin. Are you saying I need to hard code the links in myself, instead of letting the module fill them in automatically?
It appears to be a fault with the template itself. I hadn’t thought to check all of the links on the template before I installed it, but most of the formatting inconsistencies are similar on the wordpress.com test run, too. What a shame, I actually liked the layout. Switched to something else and it’s working fine.
moshu: thanks for the feedback. However, when I restore the entire theme back to its original state, I still have the exact same problem. Could this be a problem with the original theme instead? I’d hate to change it – it really is the closest to what I want. The only thing I had to change was the background image and make some color changes. Otherwise, I barely touched it.
I didn’t know that was the case, but I’m guessing this topic has come up before. Does anyone have a link to previous threads? I was unable to locate anything that seemed close to my particular problem. Links would be greatly appreciated.
I had to boot up another system to check firefox. It is much better, but the footer is half the width it was previously, so the text hangs off the box on both the main page and the comment page, and it still stretches across the bottom on the archive page.
