    As usual, firefox is great but IE is only causing problems. I changed hosts today which involved moving all my content as well as my database. I think I have most everything in order except for the sidebar in IE. For some reason the sidebar starts below the entries on the page. Does anyone have any ideas?

    The site is at https://www.diyhappy.com

    Here is the code from the sidebar, which is unmodified from the equiX theme. If it would be helpful, I will post my main page code as well.

    <div class=”sidebar”>

    • <!– Activity –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Activity’); ?></h2>
      <!–This will show the last 10 posts, including the last one. To change the number of post shown
      edit the ‘nuberposts=x’ to whatever value you want, and to skip the last one (or last 2, 3, etc.)
      increase the value of ‘offset=x’ (default is “0” so it will start by the last post)–>

    <!– End of Activity –>

    • <!– Categories –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Categories’); ?></h2>
      <?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”) ?>

    <!– End of Categories –>

    • <!– Archives –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Archives’); ?></h2>
      <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

    <!– End of Archives –>

    • <h2><?php _e(‘Site Content’); ?></h2>
      <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>

    <?php if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php if (function_exists(‘wp_theme_switcher’)) { ?>

    • <!– Theme switcher –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Themes’); ?></h2>
      <?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
    • <!– End of Theme switcher –>
      <?php } ?>

    • <!– Links –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Interesting Links’); ?></h2>
      <?php get_links(-1, ‘

    • ‘, ‘
    • ‘, ”, TRUE, ‘url’, FALSE); ?>

    <!– End of Links –>

    • <!– Feeds –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Feeds’); ?></h2>

    <!– End of Feeds–>

    • <!– Meta –>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Meta’); ?></h2>

    <!– End of Meta –>
    <?php } ?>

    </div>

    I would first start with validating your site. It looks like you have problems in lines 131, 144, 206. Hope this helps

    Turn off the Italics in the post “Multi-Connector Cable from Cat5”

    Your sidebar in IE will magically jump back to the correct position!

    Here’s a link to the bug in IE (and possible solutions):

    Don’t post long code here, please!
    It is difficult to read and nobody really bothers to take a look at it. You can use https://pastebin.com or similar services – and post back with the URI.
    For posting small code snippets, please read carefully the instructions here below the text input area: the “backticks” usually are located on top-left of your keyboard, where ~ [tilde] is.

    I’m having the same problem: https://www.thejesusfolk.com. My sidebar displays properly in Firefox but not in IE. To make things a bit trickier, my sidebar shows up on my homepage ok in IE, but not the other pages. I’ve tried adjusting the width of the sidebar and of the main content, but the problem persists.

    That website details the problem extensively and solves it as well. Good job Reggie!
