There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

I was in the process of making a custom template for pages that consists of everything except menus. So I copied index.php and grabbed some info from the header.php (which I swapped for the dynamic header plugin) and wound up getting a page that shows the loop on top of the sidebars.

I just can't seem to figure out how to get everything to align like it would had all I changed was the top header area.

I'm using ATA 3.4.4

and this code...

PHP Code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: LP
*/
?>

global $bfa_ata; if ($bfa_ata == "") include_once (TEMPLATEPATH '/functions/bfa_get_options.php'); ?>
<?php

Figured out how to get all the sidebars & content to show across the width of the center "container'

I added the following between the <head></head>...

PHP Code:
<?php     /* get all options: */ include (TEMPLATEPATH '/functions/bfa_get_options.php');?>
But for some reason the 1st widget takes up the whole center and kicks the rest just outside of the fixed width I had set up.

Would I have to style a new CSS/template to get these to line up?

I removed the extra <body> tag thanks for that...

Here's the entire code that worked for me. The key reason I did this was to create a header that mimicked my site headers minus clickable links. The menu bar spacing is retained as it's part of the site design.

PHP Code:
