Right Hand Sidebar Formatting Lost

    Hi

    My blog is The Soccer Blog

    I have a left and right sidebar that work on individual widget blocks. Both have been working perfectly however, I have just noticed the right one has suddenly lost all its formatting and has therefore pushed everything down to the bottom of the left sidebar and nothing fits in its own widget block anymore.

    I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to find out why and fix this. I have no idea what could have happened.

    I am currently on version 2.6.2 the latest version of WP. I have also tried reinstalling a previous backup from 2.6.1 and that didn’t work either.

    If anyone could suggest a potential reason and fix to this I would be very very grateful!

    Many thanks and I look forward to hopefully hearing from someone soon.

    Cheers
    Rik

    As a European native, it is my foremost duty to point out that the correct term is “football”, not “soccer” 😉 Although I see that you’re from the UK, so you might disagree. But besides that…

    Your sidebar_right div closes after the subscribe widget. All other sidebar elements are floating individually.

    <div id="sidebar-right" class="dbx-group" style="position: relative; display: block;">
<div id="add-to-any-subscribe" class="dbx-box Add_to_Any_Subscribe_Widget_display dbx-box-open dbxid0" style="position: relative; display: block;">
</div>
<span class="dbx-box dbx-dummy dbx-offdummy" style="overflow: hidden; display: block; width: 0pt; height: 0pt;"/>

--> </div>

<div id="text-219082021" class="dbx-box widget_text">

    Try removing the –> </div> and moving to the end of the sidebar block.

    Hi

    Totally agree on “football”, it will always be that to me, but global market and all that…!!

    Thanks so much for your reply, greatly appreciated! Can I ask where you got that code from? Was it through View Source? I’m afraid I can’t find the

    –> </div>

    in there nor in any of the theme’s files, like Sidebar, index, header? Looked everywhere.

    Many many thanks for your help on this, looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Cheers

    I looked at the page source, yes. Since WordPress is PHP and creating that HTML code server-side, I have no idea exactly how it was generated. But there’s got to be sidebar code in your theme somewhere (and it should be widget-friendly), and somewhere there, an extra <div> is inserted.

    Closest thing I could suggest remotely is to search all of your PHP files for

    <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

    It’s gotta be around there somewhere.

    Hi

    Good news!!!

    Discovered what the problem was and all is solved.

    It was the Subscribe Plugin itself, the one that was remaining at the top of the sidebar. It was out of date with the new version of WorpPress 2.6.2 and that plugin is now no longer widget based so it was messing everything else up!

    Thanks for all your help though, got there a lot quicker because of it. A very frustrating afternoon but all has ended well! 🙂

    Cheers
