Sidebar in the wrong place

    I am trying to build my own wp theme, and I followed a tutorial (don’t know anything about html or css). It all seems to look fine, but if you want to comment on a post then the sidebar ends up under the comment space. Any ideas on how to get it to the right?

    Try these options:

    1. Try to reduce the size of your comments box. I feel this is causing the issue.
    2. If the above doesnt work, try placing your sidebar code right below the header code in page.php

    let me know how it goes.

    Ah, I found out how to reduce the size, but it didn’t work. Do you have any other ideas?

    in your stylesheet, (style.css) you should have code like below

    #commentform input {
    width: 170px;
    padding: 2px;
    margin: 5px 5px 1px 0;
    border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    }

    Try reducing the width here.

    did you try putting the sidebar code right below the header?

    Sorry, I cannot think of any other idea…you just have to test your sidebar code positioning for different combinations.

    Good Luck.

    Fix the missing and broken tags in your code; they are effecting the sidebar position: [Invalid]Markup Validation of syntium.nu test – W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.
