• Okay, I have two major issues going on. First, my sidebar is now appearing below my posts on my post page instead of next to it. I looked at the code on the main page and then on the single.php and the placement looks no different.

    Also, now when, on the main page, I click in the comment number it takes me to the post page and I can’t see comments anywhere. NOT good.

    I’d love any help I can get as I have minimal HTML knowledge. I’d even email the code to someone so you can see it. I’m so confused!

    Thanks is advance for any help you can give me.

  • Site url?

    1) Probably a missing (or extra) opening or closing div tag.
    —- main-blog div is not closed prior to sidebar div

    2) Potentially linked to #1 or something wrong with your theme and the location of the php that puts the comment box on your page to begin with.

    Fix #1 and see if that also fixes #2.

    sweetangst – the main blog-div is closed. the last things I see look like this:

    </div><!–end main blog–>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <div class=”clear”></div>

    </div><!–end content–>

    </div><!–end wrapper–>
    <?php get_footer();?>

    Where’s the trust?

    I inspected your page elements with Google chrome. Your main-blog div is NOT closed prior to your sidebar div.

    Just because it has a little HTML comment next to a </div> tag doesn’t mean it’s actually closed hon. That </div> could just as easily belong to another div nested within your main-blog div. The only way to know for sure is to look at the code and make sure all the <div> tags have </div> mates and make sure that main-blog is closed prior to sidebar.

    Were you looking in the right template page… I’m guessing it’s probably either in single.php or archive.php. It’s obviously not a problem on the index.php because that page works.

    FYI – Your footer needs some love (e.g. your css isn’t enclosed in <style> tags, there’s other random stuff, and it isn’t aligning properly on some of your pages) and your google ads are jacking up your whole theme, look at your About & Contact pages.

    Use the an HTML validator and check your page and that will help your locate missing closing tags and other errors:

    I’ve found and fixed many code errors that have caused wacky layouts….
