Make a post sticky push down the sidebar

Hello,

I`m having some issues with this unique and beautiful theme. This is the URL: filodelatijera.com.

   1. Make a post sticky push down the sidebar to the level of the most recent post. Is it possible to avoid this displacement while using the sticky function?
 
   2. Image aligning and wrapping look nice on the post editing box, but some things messed up when published or previewed: Text contact the border of the image (no margin, no padding), image goes to the left if the image is centered and there is no text. Caption code show up below the image. I added some code at the end of the style.css, following some tips from wordpress.org. The modification helped me to wrap the image to the text, but the other issues remains.

3. How to avoid or remove the caption code that show up on the teasers or excerpts in the index page?

4. I modified the lenght of the index teasers changing a line (continuebox) on the "main index template.php" of the theme but cannot see any effect with the Advanced Excerpt plugin.

5. Gravatar overflow over the Author box (see filodelatijera.com/?p=63)

Thanks in advance for any help.

– I'm not sure what you mean by making a post sticky? Also, not sure what you mean about pushing it down the sidebar to the level of the most recent post? Can you clarify, screenshots are always helpful as well.


2. Image aligning and wrapping look nice on the post editing box, but some things messed up when published or previewed: Text contact the border of the image (no margin, no padding), image goes to the left if the image is centered and there is no text. Caption code show up below the image. I added some code at the end of the style.css, following some tips from wordpress.org.

– Did you edit any of the image/post css? Do you have the easy image caption plugin uploaded and activated? The CSS on your site is different from the demo/theme-package, so wondering what's changing it.


3. How to avoid or remove the caption code that show up on the teasers or excerpts in the index page? If you use captions and don't want them to show up in excerpts, use the advanced-excerpt plugin and uncheck all the html tags to be stripped, including 'caption'. 4. I modified the lenght of the index teasers changing a line (continuebox) on the "main index template.php" of the theme but cannot see any effect with the Advanced Excerpt plugin.

– The advanced excerpt plugin should allow you to specify how many words are generated in the excerpt, change this field from its settings page in the wp-admin.


5. Gravatar overflow over the Author box (see filodelatijera.com/?p=63)

– This is because you have no author description. To fix either use an author description in the user profile, or:

open rsidebar.php go to line 12 replace

<br style="line-height:5px;" />

with

<br style="line-height:5px;clear:both;" />

"– I'm not sure what you mean by making a post sticky? Also, not sure what you mean about pushing it down the sidebar to the level of the most recent post? Can you clarify, screenshots are always helpful as well."

A sticky post in WordPress is one that stays at the top of the page no matter what gets posted after that. WordPress will always list posts from the newest to the oldest but a sticky post overrides this order. The setting option is located on the right hand side of the Post editing box, under "Visibility"…

This is what happens to the sidebar in the Frontpage when I set a post sticky ("Stick this post to the front page"):

Normal posting, without a sticky post:

"– Did you edit any of the image/post css? Do you have the easy image caption plugin uploaded and activated? The CSS on your site is different from the demo/theme-package, so wondering what's changing it.

Yes, I added some code at the end of the style.css, following some tips found on wordpress.org. The easy image caption plugin is activated and the theme style.css comes with the code already pasted. I made a backup of the original theme-package style.css. I`m playing with many solutions found on wordpress.org, but the rendered posts still have non-simetrical frames, or too wide frames, etc.. What I see on the editing box is not what I get on the rendered post. Very erratic. It`s interesting that the  style.css of ART CULTURE dont seems to have the image caption easy codes. I wonder how they manage to control those so clean images-frames-captions.

Both issues solved! Thanks a lot!
