Hi,
I installed the theme, together with demo data.
Right after i installed your empty child theme, included in the package, before any customization and the layout breaks in this way http://imgur.com/r3DTeRl

What should i do?

Thanks

A brand new version (4.2) was just released…
I just updated, both the theme and the child theme, but it happens anyways =(

Hi,

I believe somehow you have a block added in the top right widget area like this: http://screencast.com/t/IgPFd4kiw

You have to go to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and at the Top Right (Social) widget area please remove the block you have there, like this: http://screencast.com/t/I4u4rzG2S

Should fix this, like this: http://screencast.com/t/19NHXetana

Thanks

Hi Lucian and thanks for your answer!
I was already trying to do something in there, but “Top right (social)” widget area was already empty!

So I solved putting some random widget in that “Top right (social)” and then deleting it right after.

But now I’m wondering: how come this behavior came out only when I activated the child theme? With the main theme everything was just fine… =)

Hi,

Glad you have fixed it. I’m not sure, must have been some error within the child theme, so that’s why this issue appeared when you have activated the child theme, it was only within child theme not the main theme.

Thanks
