Help Please

Hi,
This is probably a simple problem, but I can't find the cause.

I'm using the Illacrimo Wordpress widget theme with 3 columns.
2 columns on the right contain widgets.

On the home page, the content for the 2 right hand columns appears UNDER the content in the main left hand column, and not beside it.

If you click on any of the links to posts or pages, the columns are correct.

I've tried replacing all the theme files, and changing to other 3 column themes, but the problem remains.

The site is at www.InternetBloke.com

If someone has any ideas on what is causing this, I'd appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Eric G.

Without looking at your website I'm gonna guess the problem is with the CSS style sheets.

Try changing your permalinks structure to the default one (ie ?p=99 thing)
and see if the problem persists.

If it does, then you may need to specify a complete URL to the CSS style sheets in the header.php file.

If not, then its something to do with the template it self..

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help Bruce,
Changing the permalinks didn't solve the problem.
And the problem happens on other templates as well.

Cheers, Eric G.

Hi Eric,

I've had a similar thing happen on one of my blogs before, the way I got round it, after a lot of messing around with the post content (without success!) was to set this value in wordpress:-

WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically

It should be under 'writing' setting, hopefully that might sort it out for you.
