I have the same exact problem.

I was just about to put in a support request when I found this thread.

I have learned from having so many problems with Neighborhood updates to always make a copy of my current theme version so I can quickly go back to it if I need to, which I needed to do this time. 🙁

Awaiting a fix…

Thanks!

[creatorofstuff]

Yes, that did it. Thanks.

[creatorofstuff]

I appreciate the quick response.

I don’t understand why this was broken in the first place when I haven’t customized anything. I like the Neighborhood theme but it feels like it often needs patches here and there to make it work right.

Anyway, the code you provided almost fixed the problem but not quite. Please see in the screenshot that the link on the right is not aligned with the other content. The “>” is sticking out too far.

Please help.

Hi David,

Oh wow. How ’bout that? Glad to know I’m not crazy. 🙂

Thanks for sticking with it in order to discover that!

Yeah, that’s where I test everything. I do have a test environment.

I even commented out the custom css in theme options, then activated the parent theme, and the problem is still there. It seems to absolutely need “auto” to eliminate the 1170 px image from being shifted to the right, instead of aligning with the blog content.

I don’t get it. I have gone through and cleaned up old code that was given to me by the Swift Ideas support team for past problems, and the only thing left is code I believe I understand and shouldn’t affect it, but obviously there is something. 🙁

Oh well…

[creatorofstuff]

Thank you for the suggestions. I was able to pinpoint the problem by doing that. Sorry. Duh, why didn’t I think of it without you having to make the suggestion. My apologies. Thank you for your time!

[creatorofstuff]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Yep, the theme is up-to-date. 🙂

1. I’ve seen that page but I’m not sure exactly what you are wanting me to get from it. I do understand that past css tweaks could be a problem, which is exactly why I literally deleted my child theme and started a new one. The only tweaks I have in there now (except for code given to me by your team) is stuff like font color, size, getting rid of the horizontal lines in titles, things like that. No major changes.

My goal is to not have any tweaks or patches whatsoever, because I’m just so tired of things not working.

As far as I know, this is the only other “tweak”, and again, it’s because things don’t work properly without it.

/***to prevent right sidebar from dropping down on post page***/
.single-post .sidebar.right-sidebar {
margin: 0px !important; float: right;
}

Anyway, thanks for your help.

1. Thank you, David. This called attention to some code that you found in my custom code, which was given me to Mohammed in this thread. (Which was a fix for something that did not work properly right off the bat the very first time I tried to create a blog post.)

blog page – 2 sidebars, right sidebar is below content – no room?

This issue of having to fix things to make the theme work right is what I have been complaining about in another one of my threads. It feels like it seems to be necessary to add patches to make things work, and then those patches end up becoming a problem later on. I really want to keep my child theme clean and not have so many patches. (I recently dumped my original child theme and started over completely, in order to get rid of all that extra code.)

It would be nice if, for example, there was a line in your documentation that says something like, “to include blog post featured image, create an image that is 1170px wide“. And when you do that, it would be nice if it aligned with the rest of the content in the page.

What I want to know is why I need any of those lines of code at all? I tried taking them all away, but still found that it is necessary to use:

margin: 50px auto;

Or else the image is shifted to the right. Why? If the correct size is 1170 px (which is what my image is), why does it shift to the right by default? Why should I have to “fix” that? The theme should work right from the beginning. (Shouldn’t it? Am I missing something?)

(Also, your suggestion of
margin: 0 auto;
jams the content vertically to the image, which looks too crowded, so I changed it to margin: 50px auto;)

Sorry to vent. I’m just frustrated from having to add so many patches for various things that should work from the beginning. Or if it doesn’t work because of code I have included, it’s frustrating when it’s code that I actually got from your support team.

2. Thank you! That was exactly the code I needed. (I don’t mind adding this sort of code because this is an instance where I am intentionally customizing something. It’s only patches that I mind.)

I do appreciate your help very much. I really do! 🙂
