   for some reason the footer does not display on my index.php and single.php pages

   http://www.boobmood.com/

   but on the about page it does display:

   maybe this is related to the fact that my sidebar for the theme i am using is not widget ready? I am not sure if that is the source of the problem.

   the footer displays fine on all pages on wordpress versions 2.2 and lower.

   i dont know how to convert it to widget ready, the instructions were too complicated...

   anyway here is my sidebar code:

   http://www.boobmood.com/sidebar.txt

   at the bottom of my index.php file this is the command that gets the footer...:

   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   is that the correct one?

   Is it working fine now?
   To display the footer in the blog,diffrenet theme use different methods. some justmake a different page for footer "footer.php" and then include it at the end of page using the following code <?php include('footer.php'); ?>
   some call the function directly to output the footer of the page.
   you just check whether your theme has footer.php page or not. and then check whether it contains the function get_footer() or not.
   if the above page does not exist check functions.php for existance of the function.
   which theme do u use??

   nope still does not work.. help!

   the mystery continues...

   http://www.boobmood.com/index.txt

   there is my index php file...

   yes my theme does have footer.php and it is called as you can see at the bottom of index.php

   I am using the equix v1.1 theme.

   it is weird that the footer DOES display when you go to the about page... that should be a hint as to whats wrong but I cant figure it out..

   Th issue most likely lies in your sidebar.php file.

   In any other page but your About page, the code is ending like this...

   <div style="margin-left:5px;">. There is most likely an error in your sidebar.php file which is stopping the footer from being called.

   You probably have morethan one sidebar file too - maybe sidebar-left or something? Try looking at both.

   Post your sidebar.php code [in .txt format]and we can have a look at it too, if that helps.

   well my host just went down, geez..

   I only have one sidebar file, sidebar.php

   I looked at the sidebar.php file and cant seem to find anything weird in there...

   anyway here is the sidebar file

   http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7MN3D11A

   all the pages show the footer correctly, whether it be the about page or any other page i create... contact page etc.

   This must have something to do with the fact that this is wordpress 2.3 because I didnt have any problems with this theme on earlier wordpress versions...

   the theme I am using is not sidebar widget or tags ready...
   and I dont know how to upgrade my sidebar to be widget or tags ready
