 * My website isn’t showing the side/menu bar on the left hand side of the screen.
   Does anyone know what could have caused this? All I did was edit an entry one
   day, and the next the whole side bar (minus categories) is missing.

 * I think your sidebar is there but hidden. You have a few [validation errors](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocupleto.spiffykerms.com%2F)
   in your most recent post that are probably causing the problem,

 * Hmm ok.
 * I just deleted my two recent posts, and it doesn’t seem to change anything…
 * I haven’t played around with the widgets or anything either.

 * My sidebar ads are there but no longer in the sidebar — they are in the middle/
   bottom of my posts — but only on the front page; the other pages are showing 
   the ads in the sidebar.
    Any suggestions on what may have caused this and how
   to repair it? I was also using Firefox today. I usually use IE –but not today.

 * Can anyone help me? Esmi helped with the CSS validation, and I deleted my posts.
   But my sidebar is still not there. 🙁
 * Do I have to delete wordpress + all my posts and start again? There must be an
   easier way!

 * [@spiffykermscom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spiffykermscom/): It looks
   fine now so I assume you managed to find & fix the problem. Sorry for the delay
   getting back to you but I think I’m in a different time zone to you.

   Could you start a new topic please? And include the url of your site?
