Seems to be a theme issue. Try switching to garlin to confirm. Then I would start with page-front.tpl.php if the theme has one, looks like there's css wrapping issues too.

garlin works fine and no it does not a page-front.tpl.php.

The theme work fine for a month or so.
Yesterday morning, I was updating the website with a couple of stories and it stop displaying the menu and log in on the front page.
I deleted the stories, thinking that that had something to do with it.

if garland works correctly and the other theme does not, it's likely a theme issue or something promoted to the front page that is throwing things off.

the theme that you are having issues with, is it custom? Is it contrib? have you customzied it in any way?

Steve Myers’s picture

its is a custom theme, but as I wrote before, there were no issues until yesterday.

vm’s picture

regardless, if it works in a core theme and not in the custom theme it's an issue with the theme itself.

Steve Myers’s picture

So that is it? The theme? No suggestion as to how and fix it? It has nothing to do with the data base?

Steve Myers’s picture

blah

vm’s picture

you say "menus", which menus and where? in block? in which region of your theme?

I have no suggestions on how to fix it, beyond inspecting your themes page.tpl.php and making sure it's in good order.

what's different about your theme and it's regions as compared to garland and it's regions?

Steve Myers’s picture

none of the "blocks" Log In , Who's new, Who's online, ect.. display on the front page.
Take a look:

ok, so were talking about blocks in the left sidebar.

do blocks work in other regions in your site? ie: right bar bar, header so on so forth?

have you run your site through a validator to see if there are any glaring errors? ex: the omission of a div.

have you compared your page.tpl.php to a core page.tpl.php to see if there is anything glaring? Specifically with the left sidebar regions?

I can't debug for you in total, mainly because I don't have the theme you are using.

Steve Myers’s picture

Can you not see for yourself ?? NOTHING WORKS ON THE FRONT PAGE !

vm’s picture

because there are no blocks, am I supposed to guess at where they are? what regions you've tried? I can only compare what I see in the links you provided. That doesn't tell me if its a region wide issue or a specific region issue.

you're asking to debug a theme issue, without offering up and REAL DEBUG information.

Steve Myers’s picture

can anyone help??

vm’s picture

no one can help you until you start offering more debugging information.

by trying to set other blocks may lead you in the direction of a region issue.

I highly doubt it's a database issue. Especially because it works on other themes.

have you cleared your cache? both browser and database?

help those supporting the forum, help you by offering information we need to try and figure out where the problem may lie. If using a base theme point us to that base theme so we can install it.

Steve Myers’s picture

OMFG!! GO AWAY!

vm’s picture

lol, why not answer questions already posed.

Specifically where it concerns, running your site through a validator and checking your page.tpl.php file against a working page.tpl.php file which is where regions are laid out as well as checking your style.css file which is where your regions and blocks are styled.

have you pastebined and then linked here, your page.tpl.php file so someone can take a look?

Temper tantrums can cause your thread(s) to be less than fruitful.

Holy smokes dude-- you need to get a grip. No one here works for you-- we are all volunteers and we do the best we can. Where do you get off talking to someone trying to help you like this?

Maybe you need to review http://drupal.org/forum-posting for some ideas on how to ask for help and interact with the community.

The amount and quality of assistance you receive, if any, is directly proportional to the amount and quality of information you provide. If you don't like that feel free to have your temper tantrum some place else.

Steve Myers’s picture

Thank! I understand the fact that no one here is paid, I posted here hopping someone had had the same issues.

WorldFallz’s picture

So that entitles you to behave like spoiled brat and be rude to those that try to help? Sorry that bird won't fly. Perhaps you should check with mommy and daddy about some manners....

Steve Myers’s picture

I found that answer!! Fixed!

So what was the answer?

:warning, hand holding in progress:

in doing some of your legwork,

strict validation: (which is what your theme is set at in page.tpl.php)
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgenesee3c.org%2F&charset=...

^^ you have 28 errors and 2 warnings

traditional validation:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgenesee3c.org%2F&charset=...

^^ you've 28 errors and 3 warnings.

Could also be something promoted to the front page recently that is throwing the theme out of whack.

I'd chase those issues down and see if repairing them offers you the cheese.
