I’ve tried posting a clean version of the RIN Theme – didn’t fix.
Are you sure you cleared the cache? Because the div nesting doesn’t look right currently…
Thanks for the reply Yosemite!
The current version is not the clean version. I changed it back. But I didn’t clear the browser cache, I noticed the that the blog header had changed, but the problem footer didn’t.
I try again and clear the cache…
shift reload in Firefox didn’t fix it.
What do you see in the nested div tags?
I can’t actually ‘see’ them, but according to the source, the footer is in the ‘container’, but it’s also in the ‘contentright'(?) which is the div for the actual posts.
I suspect a closing div might have been lost? And then fixed/replaced but put in the wrong place.
Did you copy/paste code from any theme files? Try checking the original (Rin) index.php file, does yours close div’s and <?php get_footer(); ?> is the last line look similar? e.g.;
<?php posts_nav_link('','« + newer posts ','') ?>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!--Closes the contentright div-->
</div> <!-- Closes the content div-->
<div id="bottomcontentdouble">
</div>
</div> <!-- Closes the container div-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I think the problem is in your last post. Should it be all bold?
@jwurster: Yeah – that document was copy / pasted from a News paper website and it’s jacked up pretty good. But I took out the -strong- tags and fixed it with dreamweaver – still the problems.
@yosemite: Thanks for your help on it. Right now I’m using the fresh copy of the theme and the problem is still there.
Okay so here is the funny part: When I copy the HTML source and the CSS, and I paste them into a new document – it works fine. check it out here:

I think it’s something to do with the server… when I test that file locally it displays fine, but when I upload it to the server it displays this way… download the files and try it yourself.
thanks for working through this with me… If I can’t fix it tonight, I’m going to get a new theme.
thanks,

Okay… I put in a bunch of closing div tags and it works. It doesn’t validate, but it displays correctly.
I’ve looked to see if there is a div tag that wasn’t closed in a post but I can’t find it.
The whole thing is screwy to me. I have no idea, but I”m going to bed.
‘ </div> <!–Closes the contentright div–>
</div> <!– Closes the content div–>
<div id=”bottomcontentdouble”>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!– Closes the container div–>
<div id=”footer”>’
Jwurster!
I think the problem was in a post. There were some un-closed div tags that were causing a big fuss.
So, I fixed that and fixed the problem…
but, the left menu dosen’t clear in IE on the front page now…
If I can’t fix it, I’ll post another thread.
I just made the #sidebar margin smaller and now it displays correctly
Hooray! problems fixed… for today
