# Plugin causing issues with theme template

 *  Resolved [alicekenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alicekenny/)

 * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causing-issues-with-theme-template/)
 * I’ve installed the plugin and successfully made some edits.
 * But now I’ve found that my theme is playing up on that page. What should be the
   sidebar on the right is sitting underneath the content instead (see example [http://www.huntinghouse.com.au/blog](http://www.huntinghouse.com.au/blog)).
 * It’s not happening on any other pages so I assume it must have to do with the
   coding of the plugin. I’m very new at this so could I have done something to 
   the plugin code to cause this?
 * I was having problem with the font and adding it a “.post .hentry .ivycat-post”
   style to my theme’s css wasn’t working so I’ve done a hack job on it. I’d appreciate
   any help I can get, thanks!
 * Code below:
 *     ```

 * Hi alicekenny,
 * It looks like you may have some mismatched DIV tags. If you don’t have closing
   div tags (</div>) in the right place for each opening div tag (<div>), it can
   wreak havoc on the larger page layout.
 * I added them in the snippet below. Does that help?
 * You might check elsewhere in your site, too. I checked your page on [a DIV tag checker](http://www.tormus.com/tools/div_checker),
   and it reported 6 missing closing div tags. If you’re still having trouble, you
   may need to track down the other 4. 🙂
