    Hi folks,

    Just updated to 4.5 at the request of my host and pages have changed. It has been soooo long since I did this I have no idea how to fix it, but I think its likely simple. In short, I have a static right side bar that is now below the left hand page content instead of next to it. Can someone point me where to go and what to do to get this back?

    Thanks!!

    All the pages that broke seem to be based on the sidebar template. Not sure if I overrode that in a style sheet, but likely. Not sure where to find the settings to get the margins back, assuming that is the issue. Appreciate pointers.

    Pretty sure I did change a bunch for that and put it in the css style sheet. I have tried changing a half dozen settings, but nothing seems to move that wide left column back to the left so the righ column will move back up to be side by side. I can post the css if needed.

    Thanks.

    not sure if you were aware but if you reply to your own support questions, it makes it seem like the question has already been answered and volunteers on the forum might not respond.

    before continuing to make changes to your styles/layout….be sure you have a backup.

    are you working with a child theme or making changes directly to the original theme.

    which theme is installed on https://www.in4m8n.com/

    I was not aware. Thanks. Was just trying to add more info.

    I used 2011 and modified it. I stated modifying years ago befor eI learned of child themes. So “some” but not much of my changes may have been in 2011. The rest in child.

    I DO have backups I ran one after these changes and downloaded from yesterday and today so I could compare. Still not finding where this likely simple error is.

    What other inf can I provide? It seems like the sidebar is just right, but the wide either got wider or lost margins or padding. But it has been so long since I did this!

    Thanks.

    Sorry to reply again as it seems frowned on, but I restored my site from the previous daily backup. If you visit, you will not see the issue. I save a complete backup of the site WITH the problem.

    Seeing that is is so common there is a missing <\div>. I searched every file I could think of that seemed to pertain to the broken pages. I could find none.

    I would still like to fix this as I am sure my host will enforce updating to 4.5 and this will break again.
    Can anyone assist?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the fix. 4.5.1 works as expected.
