Updating WordPress broke my theme

If you have recently updated your WordPress to 2.2 you may have noticed that your columns are mis aligned or simply fall below your content.

This is a very common issue and I’ve fixed literally dozens of these in recent days and figured I’d write a summary on this.

To begin with, MANY existing WordPress themes on the market free or otherwise are usually some sort of modification of other themes. In fact those themes are modifications of the original themes which you could essentially trace back like a genealogy or family tree.

The most common thing I encounter when fixing the layouts is the issue of MARGINS which breaks the layout. With the new widgets integration people are finding the layouts breaking. So I’m going to take a quick break and assemble some demo files for this article so you can see the steps.
