• Hi my site when viewed on Internet explorer the sidebars disappears to the very bottom of the site, stationed in the center of the body post below it. On firefox the site looks just fine but on IE this mess starts to happen…. Any help on how to fix this problem will be appreciated thanks!

    My site is loyalkng.com

    heres a screen shot on IE: here

    Ah thanks for that validator, Although I don’t understand where to locate the coding pieces that I need to edit from that list. Do you have a way to navigate it?

    Check the box that says “show source” and click the Revalidate button.

    Your source code will be displayed at the bottom with line numbers; the line number next to error corresponds with the numbers in the source. You can then just use Find in your source editor to find the code and fix it.

    the version in the screenshot is IE7

    The errors in the document are summed up in the order of which they occur.
    I always take a dump of the sourcecode of my page, next to all templates. Go through the error-list one-by-one, find it in the sourcecode (refresh that after every fix ofcourse) and then find it in the corresponding template-file. There’s no easier way.

    Thanks Shifuiman, illutic, and whooami! I’ll do my best to clean up some of this mess and i’ll return if this still doesn’t fix the IE7 issue.

    I just fixed a lot of the common errors from 120+ now I am left with only 5 errors, which I thin kare the culprit of the problem. Mainly the “Wp_page_number” one. The problem i have is locating this code in my template or plugin. I use the wp_page_number plugin to remove the next and previous button at the bottom of the body article section to navigate through previous sets of articles. But I have checked all the files and can’t seem to locate this code.. Can anyone walk me through this? Thanks

    Also on the TopBlogArea error, I dont fully understand what the issue is here or how to fix it. Thanks

    I found that the error of the coding could be in the navigation.php

    <?php if (is_single()) : ?>

    <div class=”navigation”>
    <p class=”previous” /><?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?></p>
    </div>

    <?php else : ?>

    <div class=”navigation”>
    <p><span class=”older” /><?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?></p>
    </div>

    <?php endif; ?>

    You guys see any issues?

    thats not the problem, ignore that.

    I dont have ie 7 on my laptop — so I can only tell you how to do this (if I had 7, I would do it). Follow your permalinks. Do the sidebars drop on some but not all of those pages? Better yet, make a post with just text — no images. Go to that permalink page – do the sidebars drop? If not, than the images you are putting into your posts are too wide for the fixed width <div>’s in your theme.

    Thanks Whooami, I did all that and it seems that the side bar drops only on the home page where the page numbers actually comes into play. I went to my pages where I had only text and oversized images that I manually resized using WP resize tool and the bar seems to be in their right place.

    But when I go to my homepage it randomly works and sometimes it just does this for a couple of seconds and returns back to normal. Sometime though it just stays like this.

    heres an image: here

    Also when the side bar goes back to its place, this happens right under the page numbers: here

    Hmm… I just opened the page in IE7 and it displayed as it should, but when I reloaded the page (tried a few times) the display is just as in your screenshot..

    Okay, I see it is something in one of the sidebars. If you load the page and the sidebars are below your content, hover over the sidebars and you’ll see they ‘bounce’ back up to where they should be.

    Hmm I just tested your theory out by removing all the side bar buttons “Feature Articles” and such but the site randomly on refreshes still does the same thing, and not only that but the space below the page numbers are always extended. Heres a pic
