Sidebar has a mind of its own

  • This is happening with every theme I download. On my front page, the sidebar, which should be in the right column, gets knocked down to the bottom of the page, below the body of posts. If I click through to a single post, it’s back justified to where it should be – the right side bar.

    Again, it’s happened on every theme. Don’t know what to do. Thanks.

  • troubleshooting sidebar issues, is made much easier when youre using a theme that has a sidebar on single post pages, like you are right now.

    So ..

    let look at some of yours:

    that page displays fine, and its also one of the posts on the front page.

    how about another?

    Not so good, eh? Your trouble is with what is inside that post. when youve fixed that, your sidebar ought to go back to the top. If it doesnt, check the remaining single post pages for all the posts on the front page.

    It seem like some of your posts has a broken tag that causing most of the themes to break. go to w3c validator and try fixes the broken tag.

    your about page render nicely thought.

    Hmmmm okay I validated the code and it still doesn’t work.

    Sidebar looks fine on each of my single-article pages.

    Hmmmmm

    Alright – solved!

    I looked at each single-post page and there WASN’T a single page that had sidebar at bottom.

    But the main page did have it at bottom.

    So I tried cutting the html of each entry, one by one, updating, then refreshing the main page to see if the problem went away. it did!

    So then I re-pasted the html from clipboard and searched it for <div> errors. I just deleted all the divs and re-formatted the text in the visual editor.

    Problem solved!
