    Hello everyone,

    My right sidebar for widgets used to be slightly below the menu at the top of the website but for some reason it now has dropped down next to the latest posts.

    I did not change anything with the code afaik so it is really strange as to why this happened. Does anyone know how to make my sidebar at the top right again?

    It is a fan website i am creating atm which is Findmymain

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: I have found out this only happens on the homepage! What could have happened?

    It got pushed down because of the featured image above it. Sure, your image isn’t that big, but the image’s container (.featuredBox class) is. Get rid of the featured image and it should normal again.

    Also, your site’s load time is far too slow. Most visitors would be frustrated if a simple page–without anything fancy–take more than 2 secs to load.

    Thank you for replying,

    I really like the image container, i tried to remove the padding but that didnt help. Is there a way to make the container smaller?

    Also.. how do i improve the load time? I dont really know how to do that.

    Thanks again for replying!

    Can you create a new thread about that? It’s only fair since Techievous replied in relation to your sidebar issue.

    Alright i will mark this as resolved and create a new one.

    Edit: I was wrong, i still need help about the sidebar. I will create a new one for the load time though! Can you mark this as unresolved please?

    Yes, but making .featuredBox small wouldn’t solve the issue. The sidebar is inside #page .home-page .content, together with .article; that means if you want to move it up without moving articles, you’d need to use negative margin-top (and maybe adding z-index, too, if necessary).

    That’s not good because then it would screw up the sidebar position on the rest of the pages (instead of just the home page now).

    Nothing can be done with CSS to achieve what you want. You’d have to edit the PHP portion of the theme.

    So i tried to post one with a smaller image and… look what happens! There is a new image in the right upper corner. Im not sure how this happened but maybe that is why my sidebar is lower on the homepage? If not i think ill try to remove the featured image.

    Can you provide us with a link to that post?

    The image in the upper corner is on the homepage.
    The post itself is Test

    What i meant is that maybe because of that new upper right image might be a theme thing which causes the sidebar to drop on the homepage. Not that i choose any but maybe it comes up after you have 2 posts.
