For some reason, my sidebar showed up at the bottom of my website this morning. I was not this way last night, this has not happened in the past two years, and I certainly did not make any changes to the template yesterday. I was hoping someone might be able to help. It might also be worth noting that my site did get hacked about a week ago. However, the site was cleaned out professionally, and so it should be cleaned up perfectly by now.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

This might explain a great deal. Try re-installing the contact form plugin.

Thanks so much for the reply, I did not see that code there earlier today but did when I logged back in.
As such, I deleted the two contact form plug-ins. The code disappeared but the sidebar was still at the bottom. So I then re-installed one plug-in (contact form 7, v3.0). However, the problem continues to persist.
The remaining issue is due to what appears to be a missing closing </div> in your theme's template file(s) - possibly in sidebar.php

To my knowledge I did not change sidebar.php but I did make small changes in style.css. Is it possible the problem is there? If helpful I can provide code from my sidebar.php or style.css sheet.
No - it's definitely a template markup issue.
quite likely in index.php - possibly the 'wp-followme' section (which is not showing, anyway) after the 'pagenavi' and before the 'get_footer' line.
just try to add the missing </div> before the 'get_sidebar' line.
edit:
just downloaded the theme -
the sidebar gets called in footer.php - corrected above.
however, try and find where the 'wp-followme' sections is added - there might be an error in there.

Thanks for the responses.
1. on the index.php page I don't actually have a wp-followme section. In fact, the only place I see the we-followme section is on the dashboard menu --> left sidebar --> settings menu.
2. I also tried looking for the missing </div> however before the 'get_footer' line there was already a </div> in place. (see below)
---
Entries', 'inove')); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="fixed"></div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
3. As for my footer tab, it starts with a bit of funny code. I don't know if it belongs there or not. Perhaps you'd have a better idea. See below for that code.
---
</div>
<!-- main END -->
<?php
$options = get_option('inove_options');
global $inove_nosidebar;
if(!$options['nosidebar'] && !$inove_nosidebar) {
get_sidebar();
}
?>
<div class="fixed"></div>
</div>
<!-- content END -->
<!-- footer START -->
the error is in the latest post - caused possibly by the way th etheme shortens the content for the front page.
this is the html output of hte first post - the area is wrapped in a <div> which is also closed properly </div> at the end - see section below:
<div>
<p><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WaitingRoom.jpg');" href="http://www.jeremycwilson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WaitingRoom.jpg" ><img class="size-large wp-image-1428 alignleft" title="WaitingRoom" src="http://www.jeremycwilson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WaitingRoom-150x99.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="99" /></a>Many people i
...
... You might be better off in the end.</p>
<p>Hopefully I am too.</p>
</div>however the shortening of the post for the front page is breaking this;
edit the post in html mode of the editor, and remove both the <div> at the beginning and the </div> at the end.

@alchymyth Great catch, that's exactly what was happening. Thanks so much for your help. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for this in future posts.
