Whenever I view a post on my site, the theme moves the sidebar below the main content of the page. The link below shows what I mean.

Any help would be wonderful.

Hey,
A modification / adjustment / change, (either by yourself or caused by a plugin / widget) has broken the layout as you can see on the W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Flaserproductsus.com%2F2011%2F04%2F22%2Ftop-3-sourcing-failures-of-kitchen-bath-shops%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Fixing these bugs should restore the layout.

I went through and fixed the errors that made sense (missing alt tags) but the rest make no sense to me at all. When I look at the code, it is correct. There is nothing wrong with it.

Should I be looking in the single.php file for this? Because there are only 87 lines of code in that file.
<?php
global $k_option;
$k_option['custom']['bodyclass'] = ""; // $k_option['custom']['bodyclass'] = "class='fullwidth'";get_header();
?>
<div id="main">
<div id="content">
<?php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// check if we got a previe picture, and which one should be taken
// (image resizing with "tim thumb" on? then we can take the big one and resize it)
$preview_small = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_preview_small", true);
$preview_medium = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_preview_medium", true);
$preview_big = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_preview_big", true);//defaults:
$preview = $preview_medium;
$link_url = $preview_big;
$lightbox = 'singlepost';
$link = true;
//change if necessary:// resizing? => take next sized picture
if ($k_option['general']['tim'] == "1" && $preview_medium == "")
{
$preview = $preview_big;
}// no bigpicture? => no lightbox
if ($preview_big == "") { $lightbox = ''; $link = true; $link_url = get_permalink(); }
// the kriesi_build_image function used here checks if the image should be resized.
// the function is located in framework/helper_functions$preview = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$preview,
'height'=> '273',
'width'=> '610',
'lightbox'=>$lightbox,

Hey,
The template file loading the page is single.php, but other files including header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php are also loaded. Based on the fact that the other pages display correctly, I recommend using the original template file from the Theme Forest package, then making your changes one at a time to avoid the problem again.

I have reverted back to the original single.php, sidebar.php and footer.php and nothing has changed. When I tried to revert back to the original header.php I got an error message saying:
Fatal error: Class 'description_walker' not found in /hermes/bosweb26a/b1553/sl.laserproductsus/public_html/wp-content/themes/display/display/header.php on line 131
and only the header loads with that error message.
Any other thoughts about how to fix this?

Tried changing back to all the standard css files (style.css, style1.css, style2.css and style3.css) and no change.

Hey,
There are a few steps you should take here:
1.) Disable all plugins
2.) Remove all widgetsIf the site doesn't work at this point, delete and reinstall the theme using a fresh copy from Theme Forest.
3.) Reactivate your widgets one by one, testing that the layout works.
4.) Reactivate your plugins one by one, testing that the layout works.Something was edited breaking the layout, I know that the original theme files (with no plugins / widgets) works so the steps above should help you figure out where the problem is.

Am I going to have to document and rebuild the menu structure and all the settings for Display them?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Hey,
You shouldn't have to rebuild the Menu / Settings for Display unless you have to delete and recreate the DataBase. This step would only be required if the above steps I posted don't work, let us know how you get on.
