My custom blog (CSS) template is not displaying correctly

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog suddenly started having template issues. I use a slightly modified version of “Contempt” and I have not made any changes to it for at least a year. The navigational elements on the top are not showing correctly and the spacing within the blog entry text no longer has any line breaks in it. Did a site upgrade cause this issue?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there – I see what you mean about the menu. I’m investigating and will keep you posted here.

  • It looks like some code changes were recently made to the Contempt theme. Since your site had been using the “replace CSS” method to completely replace the theme’s default CSS – instead of overriding it by using “Add on” CSS mode – your menu is no longer being styled correctly.

    I’ve spoken with our theme team, and they suggest that you switch to Add-on mode for your CSS, here:

    Once you select the Add-on mode, you can then deactivate your current CSS, either by removing it (you can copy-paste it somewhere safe) or by commenting it out, putting it between /* and */ marks.

    You can then un-comment (or re-add) your styles bit by bit until you determine which portion is affecting your menu. Once you find it, you can modify the menu styles to match the new code, as needed. If you’d like any assistance with this process, our themers would be glad to help, if you post in the CSS Customization forum.
