ParticipantHi,
The Glam theme setup gives instructions on how to remove the "splash" that is behind the slider image in the theme, but a similar splash is also in the primary sidebar area (it looks like there is coffee splashed on my screen, at first I thought it was!). I've scanned the style.css file and can't seem to locate where this image is hiding in the primary sidebar (which is at the bottom of the page, not on the side). Any help to locating this code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Candace

ModeratorIt looks like you were able to figure it out - I'm not seeing that image anywhere on your site.
Here is where the image is located in the Stylesheet for the sidebar on the demo:
.sidebar .enews-widget.widget { background: url(images/sidebar-enews.png) top no-repeat; background-size: 100%; text-align: center; }

ParticipantHi Susan,
Actually, I haven't figured it out -- you will see two splashed in the "Sign up for our fitness newsletter" section (under the blog post). One is right over the word "fitness." Thanks for sending the line of code -- is this the line that I should delete: background: url(images/sidebar-enews.png) top no-repeat;
Thanks,
Candace

ModeratorAre we looking at the same site? Here's what I'm seeing on your home page:
I'm not seeing any image, and I'm not seeing that code on your site. But, to answer your question - yes, you would remove that line 🙂

ParticipantOkay, that is really weird. My view has the "Primary Sidebar" under the blog post (I'm using Firefox) -- not on the right side! The social icons are also centered. I have a screen shot, but don't see where I can insert it in this reply. I'm going to remove that line of code, but seeing your screen shot is raising more questions.

ParticipantIt worked, the splotches are gone. But why is the sidebar displaying on the right side of your screen?? I actually like it, but it's supposed to be under the post -- that's how it is in the demo. Very strange.
I noticed the site doesn't render correctly in Chrome either. Is this common with sites? What are the work-arounds? Okay, we are off topic. I appreciate your super fast response and help with the splash issue. Thank again...

ModeratorThe demo doesn't have the sidebar at the bottom - it's on the right:
Check your monitor's settings. If you are seeing the sidebar below the content, it sound like you may have a narrow monitor, in which case, it's jumping to one of the media settings.
The theme demo & your site render correctly for me in Chrome.

ParticipantOkay, now I feel like an idiot. I did have my display set to very large (less strain on my aging eyes), and when in the recommended setting everything looks like it should be. Thanks for the tip - although I'm destine to be working with my readers on from now on.
Thank you again for all your help! You advice and super fast responses are greatly appreciated!
