The background image pulls up, but not the sidenav on the left or the main content area on the right. I’m pretty sure this broke when I was changing stuff in siteHeader.php But I went through the page with a fine toothed comb, so at this point I’m not sure if its a php issue or CSS issue.
Any ideas on how to narrow this one down?
Thanks!
seeing code would help find the problem.
When viewing your source code, the bottom half/60%, 70% whatever, is missing
It’s not really clear what the question is. All I see is a big background image, no navs or content areas. What do you mean by “pulls up”?
Try fixing these invalid comments. I’m seeing JS error when I visit that page, likely caused by these.
wonshikee, I fixed the invalid comments and the page is still not rending as it should. I checked it in IE 8 and also saw the javascript error. This is for a file I have never modified, as I bought these template from themeForest.com
Any other ideas on why the sidenav and the main content areas are not even pulling up? I’m guessing this is not a PHP error, otherwise the page wouldn’t even render the background image.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
The problem is the way the JavaScript is written, in your script.js file you have A LOT of document ready statements which is redundant but that’s not the issue. The issue is that your also loading the prototype library into the page, but because your loading everything within your <head></head> tags the jQuery declaration aka the dollar sign $ is been overwritten by the prototype library. The easiest way to get around this is to simply remove the prototype library itself otherwise change all instances of your jQuery dollar reference to the word jQuery.
See the below example of the line causing the JavaScript error:
if ($('.tweet_list').length>0){
The above line should be changed to:
if (jQuery('.tweet_list').length > 0){
Once you fix this error we will be able to help more as currently we cannot see the site at all, we can only see your background.
Ok, I removed the prototype library line and yet the page still does not pull up. Thank you for being patient, as I know PHP, but not javaScript. Would it help if I posted the whole siteHeader.php file? I know something in this file is the culprit, because no other page on my website works either, as they all reference this one file.
Thanks!
From the look of things now that the page doesn’t error out you have a PHP syntax error, if you could please post your PHP code so we can investigate it further.

Nope the error isn’t in there as your page is only loading up until your #wrapper element so the error is occurring somewhere in your body content.
EDIT: You need to go into the advanced editor to get the code buttons.
My index.php is setup like this:
include siteHeader.php
include siteNav.php
html related to this specific page
include footer.php
So the reason it is only rendering up to the #wrapper is because that is the very last line of my siteHeader.php. Ugh, what else could it be?
I’m good to go now. There was a small php error in sideNav.php Thanks everyone!
