Sidebar bumped to right on pages, but not posts

    I use a three column template with the main content in the middle. This works fine for posts, but for some reason on pages the entire sidebar is pushed to the right instead of half of it appearing on the left. For example, here is how a post looks (correct):

    And here is how a page looks (incorrect):

    I can’t figure out why pages and posts are being treated differently. I thought it might be the Google ad, but removing that script doesn’t fix the problem. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

  • You need to validate and fix your code (you have major errors that can really mess up display). Also, check your theme’s header.php links, they have missing double quotes.

    Thanks, Iridiax. I’ve fixed a few of the errors, though I think getting all of them is beyond my skill level at the moment. Trying to fix others has led to further display problems, which I’m sure is my fault for hacking together a theme whose workings I don’t fully understand.

    I’ll leave this unresolved through the morning in case anyone spots the specific error that might cause the sidebar problem. If no one does, I’ll assume I’m stuck with this until I am able to do a more thorough debugging.

    Fix the div errors first, these ones usually cause the type of display issues you describe.

    OK, thanks, I will work on those and hopefully get this fixed. I appreciate the tips.
