Genesis Landing Page Displaced — Why?

[ludvig]

Hey,

To see what I mean just check out this page:

This displacement doesn't happen on my "normal" pages. Before I used the landing page for my contact page, my about page, and my book page. But then when this trouble occured I switched to the normal page.

However, I am now in a position where I must produce a landing page within the coming days, therefore I would greatly appreciate any help I can get from you in finding out why my landing page doesn't look right.

This happened ca 2 months back when I was playing with my theme (PHP), and switched places on my secondary navigation bar, and then switched it back.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ludvig

You may have an unclosed tag which is causing the problem in your PHP or HTML

Hey Brad,

Thanks for taking the time to help.

However, after taking a look at the link you sent and my PHP, I still don't understand where the problem is.

By looking at the link you sent I figured the problem was this one:

Error Line 189, Column 5: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</div></div><div id="inner"><div class="wrap"> <div id="content-sidebar-wr…

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

But I couldn't find it in my PHP document on line 189.

However, am using Dreamweaver and I saw that there were 3 read RED signs words when using the code "<?php" in the document. Could this be what's causing the problem?

Here's my PHP code:

1. You don't need any php tags. Not sure why you have them.

2. You could also deactivate plugins and see if that solved the problem however it may be an unclosed tag within the content area so you'll need to check your editor and widgets.

3. Also not sure where you got this code but it looks suspect and not Genesis code:

function sws_social_icons($menu, $args) {
    $args = (array)$args;
    if ( 'primary' !== $args['theme_location'] )
        return $menu;
    ob_start();
    dynamic_sidebar('Social Menu');
    $social = ob_get_clean();
    return $menu . $social;
}

4. You don't use dynamic_sidebar for a genesis_widget_area().

I can only imagine where you got it from!

I did the following:

I tried doing everything you suggested above, but there was no difference.

It did however crash my site, and despite refreshing, I don't know what it was that caused the site to crash. I believe it was when I removed the "non-genesis code".

Then I restored everything back to how it was, but the page was still looking weird. This was probably because of WC3Cache or other plugins. So I deactived them all. Then it was all restored to normal.

--- So I gained nothing, except having to fix and readjust plugins.

...........
I still have no idea what is causing this displacement of the landing page.

Any kind of tips would be appreciated.

[ludvig]

Here's an image of how it looked when the the home (and other pages) [[BUT NOT THE LANDING PAGE!] crashed.

[ludvig]

Here's the PHP code inside my Genesis "page_landing" document looks like. (But as far as I can remember I have not touched it):

<?php
/**
* This file adds the Landing template to the Streamline Child Theme.
*
* @author StudioPress
* @package Generate
* @subpackage Customizations
*/

/*
Template Name: Landing
*/

// Add custom body class to the head
add_filter( 'body_class', 'streamline_add_body_class' );
function streamline_add_body_class( $classes ) {
$classes[] = 'streamline-landing';
return $classes;
}

// Remove header, navigation, breadcrumbs, footer widgets, footer
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 );
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav', 15 );
remove_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs');
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15 );

genesis();
