Title: PHP footer problems… Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # PHP footer problems… * Resolved [dersankt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dersankt/) * (@dersankt) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-footer-problems/) * Hello… * I’m here as the last resort–I’ve tried searching this up more than once and I’ve already tried the “sticky footer” by Ryan and nopes, it didn’t work. I can’t seem to get the footer to move below the content rather than the first two posts. * Either that or the sidebar, though I’m inclined to think that the footer is set to be placed beneath the second post–though I can’t figure out why. * In the original CSS (HTML only) the footer doesn’t seem to have a problem staying down–it’s only when I move it into php file that this problem occurs… * my site can be seen here: [http://www.deafchange.com/dh5](http://www.deafchange.com/dh5) * Any help would seriously be appreciated!

I was starting to get worried…Then I saw your comment.. Laughed of course, I knew it’d be a simple thing like that… * Unfortunately, the footer will not budge. The validator reduced my errors to five–thus effectively canceling out all errors within the template (the other errors comes from the posts itself).. * Yet, the validator says I put in the and wrong. Uhm. Could you elaborate on where to put the closing tags? * Again, thank you for your response. * -Ben * Thread Starter [dersankt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dersankt/) * (@dersankt) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-footer-problems/#post-965098) * uhmm…anyone? * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-footer-problems/#post-965119) * look in your theme’s footer.php what is messed up? * Thread Starter [dersankt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dersankt/) * (@dersankt) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-footer-problems/#post-965131) * I can’t tell.
