Wrong blog layout after ugprade (1.7 to 2.5)

[Neuromante]

Hi,
Title says all. Apart some minor CSS problems, my biggest issue is that the layout of my home site is messed up.

Where I should have a main article and then two columns with 4 articles each, what I have is a single column (like I wouldn't chosen the column layout) with 9 articles...

Any idea how can I fix that? In the backend, I have the right configutation. It is just the frontend which is not showing it right

Cheers

There is missing some css in the frontend template.

Have you modified one of the core templates that got overwritten by the upgrade?

Try to clear the Joomla cache.

Use Firebug to investigate.

The layout will have the following classes:

Code: Select all

<div class="items-row cols-2 row-0">
<div class="item column-1">
<div class="item column-2">

CSS:

Code: Select all

.cols-2 .column-1 { 
float: left;
width: 48%;
}
.cols-2 .column-2 { 
float: right;
margin: 0px;
width: 48%;
}
.row-separator { 
border: 0px none currentColor;
clear: both;
display: block;
height: 1px;
margin: 0px;
}

Well, Per...

You have saved my afternoon... I was already prepraring a fresh installation, with the plan of copying then all the tables related to content, forum, menues, etc...

I simply copied your suggestion for the CSS code in the customl.css file I use, et voila! It works wonders

I am not using any core template. I actually removed them, which may be the problem. But in the fresh 2.5 installation I did, if I install the template I use... it works. Odd.

In any case, it does work, and I really appreciate your help and support. Thumbs up!

Takk!
