Yesterday I upgraded to DNN 5.6.2 and the Blog module to 4.1.0.  Now the page layout on the blog my blog page is broken.  The calendar control is acting kinda wonky.  It doesn't fit properly into my container and I'm not certain what changed or what CSS might be necessary to fix it.   Here's a screenshot of the relevant portion of the page.  Notice how the right edge of the calendar appears to be cut off.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I can't say I've seen that happen myself, but for how to fix it, I recommend trying out FireBug on Firefox, it allows you to inspect CSS and make changes in browser to see their effect.

Been doing that now for two days. I've tried every CSS setting I can think of and nothing has worked. This isn't the only problem BTW. FCKEditor is now ignoring the settings I placed in the custom fckconfig.js file to tell it which css class it should apply to the fck editor body.

It's really getting old having almost every version upgrade break something. Either it breaks something in my skin or I have to manually fix up the web.config to get the site to even load because the upgrade never properly installs the Telerik editor, which I'm not even using.

If i can't figure this out by Monday I'm going to have my hosting provider restore from backup. Then I'm going to abandon DNN and roll the site myself, maybe I'll do it in MVC.

In your case you need to change the following CSS
.BlogArchiveDayHeader {
    background-color: #CCDDFF;
    font-size: 11px;
}

to something like

 .BlogArchiveDayHeader {
    background-color: #CCDDFF;
    font-size: 8px;
}



As for upgrades breaking things, upgrades should always be done in a test environment first, not in production. If you want to upgrade production without doing any testing, you have to live with the risks involved in that.

That css fixed the calendar control. One problem solved. Now I just need to figure out how to get the fckeditor to once again obey these lines in the fckconfig.js file:

// This will be applied to the body element of the editor
FCKConfig.BodyId = 'fckbody' ;
FCKConfig.BodyClass = 'fckbody' ;

BTW, I did test the upgrade on my local box before moving to production. The calendar being wonky was a minor issue that I was fairly confident I'd be able to fix if I could just figure out the right CSS to edit. The issue with the editor background being messed up is only an issue when I'm edting, it' doesn't impact visitors to the site. The really annoying thing is that stupid Telerik editor issue that has been around ever since it became part of the DNN core. Every time I upgrade DNN since then, I always have to manually edit web.config to reference the new version, manually copy the new dll, or both in order to get the site to load.
