Title: Sidebar lost all formatting Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Sidebar lost all formatting * [remarkabledogs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remarkabledogs/) * (@remarkabledogs) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-lost-all-formatting/) * My side bar lost all it’s formatting and do not how to get it back. The issue started Tuesday night. I have checked with HostGator and they claim their servers are fine. The only change that was made was removing the code for the search box and replacing it with Google Site Search for businesses. That change was made Monday afternoon and all was running fine. I followed the direction on the theme site to make the change. I have had other programers confirm the change was made correctly. * Please Help me to reformat my sidebar!!!
