No worries, glad to help! I am really liking s9y so far and will definitely keep playing with these plugins, they are quite interesting and could save me some time if I wrote a few (and will of course share them if people want).

You could try forcing a width for the element serendipityRightSideBar in wp-layout.css, something like:
hth

Ok server is now sorted and I can modify the code in the plugin without any troubles. I hope you don't mind a few observations about it:

I changed the showbody from string to boolean, the radio boxes appear in the admin, entry is saved properly. Has no effect on the site, but...

$text = &$this ...

Yes that was the code change I made - but I should have paid more attention, as the only problem was that the file was never being saved :oops:

Because I installed it through spartacus it is owned by "nobody" and I had no rights to modify it. Opps :) Am going to have to run the admin system ...

I'm using version: 1.2 - I entered the word 'false', saved and it had been lost the next time the configure plugin screen loaded :) (and naturally had no effect on the front-end either).

How do you modify the plugin code? I tried changing the plugins/serendipity_event_entrysplit/serendipity_event ...

Ahh, I did wonder what the "Media" button does! I should have clicked it - that's perfect (I have turned off HTMLarea, too many markup issues for my liking, and I'm quite comfortable entering the html by hand).

I hadn't got around to the static pages thing yet because you resolved the split pages ...

Excellent, thank you That worked fine.

My articles now page correctly. Re: photoblog, yes there was a thumbnail version created (definitely not the same size!), but I've uninstalled photoblog and will just use an img src tag instead.

Thanks for your help. Glad to have helped crush a bug!

Many thanks for your reply. My permalinks are the standard installation ones, I did not change them.

I changed 'Path to archives' to "/archives/" (and all the rest of the "Path to" values) but it didn't appear to have made any difference.

I tried adding a / infront of the "Permalink Entry URL ...

Static Pages is version: 3.10 - I installed it from Spartacus, not manually, incase that has anything to do with it?

I will look for the setupDB function now and run it, thank you! I'm using MySQL.

God this is going to sound like one major moan, and it really isn't meant to be that way - I want to use s9y, I love the ease at which it installed and got up and running, and I found creating my own template a breeze. But I've hit numerous problems, mostly with the plugins that are driving me ...
