    Hello all,

    I’ve been trying to get my theme to function correctly for days now. Everything works fine, except whenever I search for anything, or click my left sidebar links (which are linked to categories), my exterior border doesn’t refill around all the content. Also, my right sidebar is called a second time and stretches the width of the page below all the existing content. I’ve gone over and over my code repeatedly to no avail. You can go to the page at blog.noelmarie.com to see. Try the left sidebar links or try to search, you’ll see what I mean. I’ve tried to validate the page after this error, but I don’t know how to fix the errors within all my template files. I did notice that “div class navigation” is on some files twice, and I believe I’ve narrowed it down to either my Main Index Template, Search, Archives, or Footer. Here is code from those, if it helps. I’m going live with this next Monday and am really starting to panic, so any help would be fantastic!

    Main Index:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div class="contentLayout">
    <div class="sidebar1">
    
    					<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?>
    
    </div>
    <div class="content">
    
    <div class="Block">
      <div class="Block-body">
    
    <div class="BlockContent">
      <div class="BlockContent-body">
      <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    
          <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
            <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
            <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
    
            <div class="entry">

  • Hi

    Your archives file has a call to sidebar 2 at the bottom of the file.

    And you footer file has a call to sidebar 2 at the top of the file.

    2 calls to sidebar 2…

    Removing it from the footer removes it altogether. Removing it from the archives gives me the same result as before, with 2 right sidebars. Search and Archives do the same thing.

    typically in WP themes the sidebar call is in the individual content template files, not in the footer files.

    Why it disappears when removed goes back to the same issue of where your div’s are closed. You have so many div’s its hard to tell what is going on. Ten to one the sidebar in the archive file is in the wrong place, relative to the closing div’s.

    It is a really good idea to tag closing div’s with a comment that shows what opening div the closing div is associated with

    </div><!-- end id="content" -->

    <div class="BlockContent-tl"></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-tr"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-bl"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-br"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-tc"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-bc"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-cl"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-cr"><div></div></div>
      <div class="BlockContent-cc"></div>

    why do you have 3 closing div’s and one opening div on all the middle lines in this code?

    Long story. Anyway, I removed all those unnecessary ones and tagged the closing div’s. Here it is, any ideas (this is the version without the sidebar2 code)?
