    Any Wordpress Ninjas Around?

    I just started with Wordpress a few days ago, I have read up on it some, but something is still alluding me..

    I have an old Kubrick theme that I want to use on my copy of Wordpress (version 3.3.1).

    The problem is, when I post to Wordpress while using the Kubrick theme (using the built in text editor Ultimate TinyMCE, or with Windows Live Writer), the text, line spacing and everything gets all messed up. When I revert back to using the Twenty Eleven theme, everything in regards to the text looks great. The line spacing is fine, the text formatting is preserved, colors, style, fonts are just as specified.

    My question is this:

    WHAT part of the theme, style sheet, or the underlying theme framework is responsible for the text formatting? What do I need to focus on updating within my old Kubrick theme to make it play nicely again with text?

    style.css, but honestly it would be way easier to just grab a new theme! But if you insist, a little googling always helps...

    edit: ok so you asked "what part of the... style sheet" is responsible for text formatting and I said style.css so that's all pretty obvious, but if you don't know how to find what parts of the css to edit then you really should just use a different theme.

        The old theme will not have a reset.css plugged into it...

        In your header.php file, place this line beneath your current stylesheet links and obviously above </html>.

        Code:
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="[YOURDOMAIN]/reset.css" />
        then create a text file and dump this inside it...

        Code:
        html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
        h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
        a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
        del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
        small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
        b, u, i, center,
        dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
        fieldset, form, label, legend,
        table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td,
        article, aside, canvas, details, embed, 
        figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup, 
        menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary,
        time, mark, audio, video {
        	margin: 0;
        	padding: 0;
        	border: 0;
        	font-size: 100%;
        	font: inherit;
        	vertical-align: baseline;
        }
        article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, 
        footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {
        	display: block;
        }
        body {
        	line-height: 1;
        }
        ol, ul {
        	list-style: none;
        }
        blockquote, q {
        	quotes: none;
        }
        blockquote:before, blockquote:after,
        q:before, q:after {
        	content: '';
        	content: none;
        }
        Save it as reset.css and upload it to wherever you linked it to.

        See if it works now, if not...then make sure you have written the stylesheet link properly.

        Otherwise, ICQ me.

              This sounds promising. I'll give it a try...

                While everyone is being helpful with wordpress issues.....

                I am trying to place a banner add to the right of my wordpress setup but outside of the blog and sidebar.

                So I am in the index.php of the template and its got idk maybe 10 lines of code. I want this:

                Top Banner
                Blog - Right Banner
                Bottom Banner

                All outside of the blog/wordpress

                I have the top and bottom working fine however the right banner will not stay equal to the blog. I have used tables, divs, absolute positioning and I cant get it to work properly.

                Any ideas?

                  Equal to the blog ?

                  Im guessing you havnt placed it within the container div.

                  Might be called wrapper rather than container.

                    for wordpress issues, when you can't find help on the wordpress.org forums, the stackexchange site is very helpful.

                      It looks like (from talking to Mrwww) what I have is a theme dropped onto old Kubrick code. It probably worked fine with older versions of WordPress, but not with 3.0+ because of all the deprecated functions it's now calling to. That might be the reason behind the complete thrashing it's giving my text formatting.

                      I'm not sure if it can be patched up (using updated calls), or if I'd have to extract the design, and attempt to rebuild it entirely on top of new updated code. Hmmm..

                              i dont use any software to post to wp myself, the kubrick theme works fine in 3.3.2

                              could you take a screenshot to show what the issue is doing?
