Need a Wordpress (or PHP) Guru...

ScottRaven · 11-20-2008, 03:02 PM

Hi Warriors,

I have a site that I just put up with a Wordpress Blog. I found the perfect theme for it and have posted some articles to the site today (I put up 10 and will change dates on the posts so the blog looks like it has been posted to every few days).

Anyway, something is not right with the them and I need a PHP or Wordpress Genius to help me figure out the problem. This is for a site that we plan on flipping soon, so I hope to resolve it quickly.

The problem is that when you go to "uncategorized posts" it has the title bar landing on top of the post description. It does the same thing on the "About Me" page.

It did it on the posts too, but I was able to drop each post down 3 lines before posting to fix that. I could probably do that on the "About Me" page but I know I can do it on the other.

Could someone take a look an make some suggestions? I could even provide access to the theme's pages to fix the PHP if necessary.

Here's the site: MakeALittleRomance.com

Any help would be awesome as it is pretty urgent that we flip this site soon. I want it to work in every way before we do.

Thanks so much!

I just notice that it works fine in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer...

Any ideas? Anyone?

Thanks,

Scott

I have a guy that I've used on several WordPress projects. He is also the producer of the WordPress podcast. You can contact him at [removed email and sent it as a PM instead].

He can probably help you.

Those pages are not even showing up for me so..

I'm not a WP pro, but it looks like a layers problem - perhaps your heading is too large, which is creating an extra line in the heading layer, and thats why it's covering your text.

This is only a guess, but it's where I'd start looking.

cheers

Jason...I've shot over an email to your guy to see if he can help.

Callmestrip...I tried to change the Permalink Structure to be more attractive, but it made the posts show a 404 error. It works now.

Sam...thanks for the idea. Hopefully I can figure out where this is in the header and correct it. I don't understand why it works right in FF but not in IE though.

Yeah, though if it's a linebreak problem, IE and FF do work slightly different, and they also handle spacing differntly depending on the webpage type set in your "DOCTYPE" header.

It's all quite messy, unfortunately!

cheers
