    hello,

    i am likely missing something obvious, but i installed both your bullit and typography themes, and i have the same problem with each:

    fringe-media.com/wp

    EDIT: link removed due to forum restrictions

    notice how the sidebar alignment is... wrong? i can get the featured images to show (i just uploaded anything to see how it works) but the slide menu just isn't working for me. the little thumbnails that should be underneath and actually further down under the news posts, and over onto the left.

    what have i got wrong? :(

    You have a div tag open, please check this:

    [url=http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffringe-media.com%2Fwp%2F%23section3]

    Close the div tag and the theme will work like here: Showcase

    actually i can get it to pass validation when i remove a div tag from the index.php page, but then the layout goes wonky again.

    honestly? don't know what i'm doing wrong!

    oh thanks, im sorry to be a bother :(

    the weirder thing is, i tested it on my other site and i had no issues? and yet, here i sit having installed a fresh copy of wordpress, no plugins, nothing. and the theme right as it was unpacked and i have this odd problem! i must be doing something wrong.

    Looks like there might be an error via the custom fields,
    can you please check all custom field values,
    maybe there is the "bad" code, as the other site is running without flaws.

    Okay,
    first of all this url fringe-media.com/wp does not work anymore, so I cannot check anything.
    second: I've checked all files on my two test WP sites and it's working.
    third: you may have more than two testing posts, so the content stays left and sidebar right.

    Once again: please check via validating service:
    [url=http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffringe-media.com%2Fwpress%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&No200=1&verbose=1#line-172]

    It clearly states that the slider is empty after the first post, therefore closes with unneccessary div tags.

    Check the line 147 and following:

    <div class="section" id="section2">
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    Simply said: write more test posts with article and lead images, then the template will work.

    thanks! it worked!

    can i just quickly ask what is the code needed to have the news slider pull posts from a different category, a 'special posts' category than that of the regular news posts that appear on the main page? and where do i add it?

    Easy, open the Bullit featured php template,
    find this line:

    <?php query_posts('showposts=1&offset=0'); ?>

    here you have to add the cats by ID like so:

    <?php query_posts('cat=5&showposts=1&offset=0'); ?>

    where cat=5 indicates your cat ID,
    shown on this page in WP admin:

    manage → categories → status bar
    the number shows up by hovering your cat like so:

    http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=5

    you have to repeat this step on the next sections as well, like so:
    change from

    <?php query_posts('showposts=1&offset=1'); ?>

    to

    <?php query_posts('cat=ID&showposts=1&offset=0'); ?>

    Note that the offset changed to zero, so it will show the latest post
    from your desired category, this way you can show six posts from six categories
    or leave the offset and choose only one category.

    You can see the possibilites are endless.
