Great info, thanks. I also have a blog which is a css gallery and I was having issues with widgets in the sidebar. This did the trick, thanks!

Great post. I’m started a new blog about hair styles. I have a similar kind of problem with my theme. I hope this will help me with the widgets part. I will try it out. Thanks for sharing the information.

Sorry.. simple school boy error from a newbie. Was just a case of mistaken idirectory

I still have to play around with the widgets to get them to display properly and there is still something not right with the theme but at least the widget links work now.

It’s been 24hrs and I’m still learning

Okay,

I did the fix you suggested, and made a backup first and have the same problem as Nova.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home6/my_site/public_html/wp-content/themes/black-lucas/functions.php on line 4

I have the original file backed up but now I can’t get back into wpadmin to change it back. I have ftp’d the entire theme back onto the site and I still get the same error.

Yikes.. what did I do???

Don I know of no way to do what you are asking other that training your authors to keep images to a certain size. There may be a plugin that can do this or a code tweak in the theme or script itself for self-hosted WordPress blogs but your blog is on WordPress.com, I know very little about the blogs on WordPress.com other than it limits your customization options. I suggest taking your question to the WordPress.com forum.

Check out my blog…I can’t make those pictures and blogroll widgets appear in the righthand column all the time. I know it’s because one of my many posters is putting images too big—-is there a way to automatically resize things already posted and automatically size future images so that the widgets pop back into place where they need to be (instead of being dumped at the bottom of the page as they are now?) THANKS
