Everything went well on the instal, easy to read understand instructions, but after the install, when you click on forums, it shows it in proper placement on the with of the page just not at the top where it should be.

http://styledinthewild.com/forum/

Then scroll down till you see the forum......

I am not a programer, not stupid either, but will need to walked step by step and pointed to the exact files I need to change the glitch to make this work.

Thank you

Try going to your forum page record in the WP admin > Pages > edit - and change the page template it is using to the page 'fullwidth' template your theme provides.Not sure exactly what it is called but you should be able to identify it.

That only removed the side bar, which needed to go, but did not fix the issue.

Maybe try this from the Codex Faq...

I am seeing multiple forums displayed
On some WordPress installs, there can be integration issues when the WordPress theme or another plugin perform non-standard actions. This can cause the forum to be displayed incorrectly – often twice on the same page or sometimes duplicated in a sidebar

If this is the case with your setup, there are some option settings you can use to bypass the problem and force the forum to display once.

Go to the Forum administration > Integration > Page and Permalink panel and look in the Theme Display Options section where there are options to limit forum display to within WP loop and allow multiple loading of forum content.

Try each one individually and try then both turned on as well.

The actual problem is that your theme is loading up a div that contains that image using CSS rules to position it fixed in place. For reasons I am unable to tell you, this div is not being created with the same CSS on the forum page. This is why I suggested changing the page template to the same template that other pages were using as I thought the rules for this might have been involved.

But thinking some more on this, the div would have to be created early on in the display process in the header, way before the forum display starts. So - is there perhaps, some logic in the header processing that is determining whether the page requires this div to be created?

I can use this to test, edit code without worring it will screw up my site, I will just have to load the forum

So what do you propose I alter?

Oh - I am sorry. I have absolutely no idea. It will be your WP theme adding the CSS and the div to the page header. This all has to happen prior to the forum being displayed.

If you load a page and view the HTML source - where the Body tag is defined near the top - you will see the div being added. View the forum page and you will see it not being included. I think the key is to find out where that is being added in the theme code to find out why it is being selective.
