    I’ve done a search and I can’t seem to find this particular issue mentioned…similar ones but not this one. Apologies in advance if this has be covered and I am just a big searching fool.

    Problem: My side menu has slipped down to the bottom of the page. I have no idea what I did for this to happen. I am not very handy (but know a bit) and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. Is is my wonky html?

    This is the offending thing — https://www.blog.elias.to/

    Any help would be really appreciated. Really!

    I guess the left part’s width is too high so there’s not enough space to place the sidebar. Since you told it to float on the right side it floats as soon as it can… at the end of the page.
    Try decreasing the width of the left part a bit. If you use some kind of wrappers (i think so), you could increase their size instead.

    Thanks! Yes, I think you must be right…either the sidebar is to wide or the body is. But the thing is this weird slide-down just occurred for no discernable reason –I have not touched the php or style.css since I started the blog — one day this just happened…maybe it was an offending post? I have looked at the files again (and again) and tried a few things but nothing works – I did manage to create a mess but I saved my work so I am just back to square one now. In what (php?)file do I need to amend code…and pray tell where in the code do I change something. I am code-phobic but I am really trying to learn. I feel like a fourth-grader in a highschool calculus class today ??

    It’s most likely in a post. It’s possibly a graphic that’s too wide for its container (the post area), or link that’s very long.

    Start looking at your latest posts….

    Makes perfect sense, vkaryl as I did not alter anything…
    I am going to look at all my recent posts. Thank you very very much…

    Good luck – let us know how it goes!

    I know I am late to the party here. I’ve had this problem recently. I’m using the 2.x version.

    The solution I discovered was to go to select the possible offending post and then to select the HTML source editor from the toolbar above the content window. A window should pop up and in the corner there should be a checkbox for “Word Wrap”. Make sure this is checked. This fits the HTML code to the width set in the theme and allows the sidebar to float where it needs to be.
