ZP: 1.0.8
ZP theme: Sub-Albums Testing Theme
WP: 2.0.7
WP theme: iTheme
Gallery Link: http://rottenmo.com/zenphoto

I just switched my WP theme, and this new one does not seem to integrate with ZP as nicely as my last. I wanted to add my WP sidebar back to my gallery page, but no matter where I put the get_sidebar tag, the sidebar does not sit where it is supposed to. It sits above, below, or inside the current column.

My other problem is the image in the background. As you can see, it ges cut off after the header section. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but I just do not know what I am doing, apparently.

Let me know if I need to post any extra information for help!

To fix the background.

change this:
`

body {

background: #698d31;

font: 75%/170% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

padding: 0px;

margin: 0px;

color: #333333;

}

`

to this:
`

body {

background: url(images/main-bg3.jpg) no-repeat left top #698d31;

font: 75%/170% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

padding: 0px;

margin: 0px;

color: #333333;

}

`

and change this:
`

page {

background: url(images/main-bg3.jpg) no-repeat left top;

}

to this:

page {}

`

Thank you! That worked. I knew it had to have something to do with that.

Now to figure out the sidebar...

Is Zen Photo and Wordpress running from the same database?

-Raz88

Yes, they are.

include the function at the end of the zen functions file, or create one inside the ZP theme directory.

That posts the sidebar but off to the far right, enlarging the calendar font and centering all the links.

The way it should look: http://rottenmo.com

That sounds like a CSS problem. You are probably going to need to edit a bit of the CSS and upload and test to see what works. I recommend using Firebug for Mozilla Firefox or IE Developer Toolbar for Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

To be honest, I have no idea where to even begin. I've tried numerous changes already to no avail...

I'm actually using Camino on Mac OS X so I have to edit and upload, edit and upload...

I can help. If you enable the sidebar I can copy the code over to Dreamweaver and modify the CSS inorder to get the desired look.

It's up. I fixed some of it. Now it is the right distance from the top, the font size is correct in the calendar, and the links are aligned properly. All that needs to be fixed is moving it into the right position vertically.

Thank you so much for your help so far :)

The sidebar isn't placed inside the wrapper.

-Raz88

Is that better? I put the sidebar function back into functions file. The sidebar is back to sitting to close to the top, but the font sizes and alignment are still correct, fixed that in the WP stylesheet.

The sidebar function needs to be requested in the wrapper inside the body tag not at the top of the html.

I'm feeling very dumb right now. What file should I put it in? I don't want to keep trying what I think you mean and being wrong, lol.

Do you have AIM?

-Raz88

yes
