Override help please. Options

[zolka]

Okay, I tried to change my layout and it didn't work. I wasn't sure what I did, but it really didn't matter. I still had the code for the last layout I had been using and I decided to put that one back up. When I tried to do that nothing happened. I'm not sure what I did, or what I have to do to fix this.

This is my journal: Zalko

This is the code I used:

ok, first things i noticed.

you have 2 <style type='text/css'> right at the beginning.

you have 2 body{

i didnt really look further than that, but you need to make sure you didnt repeat anything else in your overrides.

[zolka]

Thanks, shows how much I pay attention.

I fixed the two things that you pointed out, and I moved all of the information that would be under the "body" together in the same portion.

[*Libertie*]

Did that fix your problem?

[zolka]

Did that fix your problem?

Sadly no it didn't.

I'm not sure as to what to do. I guess I can take another look at it. I've never been that good at Livejournal override codes, and what not (though I'm in love with Livejournal). If it doesn't work I could divise another layout for it. But I'm really not sure if it would work. Because the code that I posted here was the original one I had, and it worked. Then I changed it to another layout (which didn't work). Now trying to change it back, and it's giving me problems. Stuff like this has happened before to me. I have bad luck I guess.

[*Libertie*]

Strange, are you SURE you're using that EXACT code you posted?

Is this what you were wanting to get?

I just took the code without modifying it at all and pasted it in my test account. XD

Yeah that is what it use to look like.

Hmmm

I don't know, I'll try it again. Using the one I posted. Maybe it will work.

Or maybe I just out right broke my Livejournal (which I don't believe you can do, but me I make the impossible possible).

[*Libertie*]

Well. =\

Try these things, just to make sure..

Go to your modify journal page where you paste the overrides, and clear EVERYTHING. Of course the page layout style needs to be generator, but anything that has any type in it needs to be empty. Just delete it all, including everything from the override box.

Then paste what you've put in your original post and see if that helps. X(

PS I don't think you broke your Livejournal, there's always something that can be done. :P

[zolka]

I don't know. It didn't work. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm think of some more things I can try. Thanks for all the help! It was very much appreciated!

[talcumpowder]

.... Refresh once or twice after you've saved it and see what happens. Seriously, don't think about it. Just do. Especially if you've been using the current layout for longer than a week.
(I could try to explain why, but it takes too long.)

[Mulder]

also, quick check list:

all styles set to generator?
website in profile?

just..check. and yea..sometimes overrides are right, but they just dont work. so..leave it for an hour, then re-paste the overrides, and it should work.

Check, everything is set to generator.
Check, there is a webite in the profile.

I just re-pasted the the overrides, which didn't work (I hate to say that because everyone has been very helpful). I'm going to leave it for a while like an hour or so and try it all over again. Hopefully (fingers crossed) it should work.

Thanks again.
