Fixing Left Column in Extra theme from Elegant Themes

Thanks, Kiran –

I copied the fields over from my staging site to my production site. It definitely works better than before, although it’s still imperfect.

I have a question about your note, where you said “This compatibility is for left sidebar, so use only display left sidebar for GD pages from GeoDirectory > Design section.” Does that mean that your updates fix the left sidebar, but break the right sidebar?

When I have elements in both sidebars, the center column seems to extend all the way to the right edge of the content area, meaning that the right sidebar is actually being pushed beyond the content area and disappears off the right side of the browser window. I’m guessing this is what you are referring to.

For now I’m just using the left column, so it’s okay. But there seems to be a CSS incompatibility between Extra and Geodirectory, because I’m unable to change the width of the left column.

Is there documentation that describes how the Theme Compatibility scripts are to be written? It might help me understand how to tweak things further. I can’t figure out how to configure the Theme Compatibility fields.

Separately, nothing happened when I tried to “export” the theme compatibility settings you created. Is that normal?

Thanks
James

Hi Alex –

When I press the “Export” button, a box appears below the buttons, but it doesn’t contain anything except some light gray text that says “Paste the JSON code here and then click import again”

So if there is supposed to be JSON code in that box, it’s not there.

Here’s a thought…

I see that the tag: geodir_wrapper_open

has

<div id=”main-content”>
<div class=”container”>

while the tag: geodir_wrapper_close

has

</div>
</div>
</div>

So is that a mismatched number of <div> and </div> tags?

Not sure if that’s really the issue, but it seems odd.
