    Something seems to be wrong with the coding in my index.php that I can’t quite pinpoint.
    The problem itself lies in the location of the widgets; when the widgets I use and place should be in the sidebar they are showing up at the bottom of the blog itself.
    The reason I know the problem is with the index.php is because I recently changed the index.php to a temporary “construction” file and when I checked up on other individual posts, the widgets were back in the sidebar where they were suppose to be.
    Not sure when this problem started, it may have been when I updated my wordpress version but I’m not absolutely sure.

  • Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    The CSS is easy enough to fix but it’s really difficult figuring out where the HTML references are in the WordPress editor. I also tried resetting the theme completely but it still does the same thing now I lost all of my custom html because I was stupid enough not to save it. I’ve also tried applying other themes to my page and those also make the sidebar appear at the bottom of the page.
    After tearing apart the entire blog I’ve come to find that some pages have the sidebar and some don’t. The main page moves the sidebar to the bottom of the page while sub pages and articles show the sidebar where its supposed to be (not all though) which makes things even more confusing.

    Here’s another update on my quest to resolve this dumb sidebar/widget issue: relating to the previous comment, after many tries and many refreshes of the page, the sidebar finally appeared where it was supposed to on the Main Page. However, some sub pages still put it at the bottom. So still inconsistent but I’m still open to help so that I can prevent it from happening again in the future.
