WIdgets push content down

    Help! I’m working on a custom template (the authors are no longer available). I need to add a widget to the left sidebar under the side nav. When I add any widget it pushes the main content of all pages down to the bottom. I’m guessing that there is some coding issue since “Contact Sidebar” shows up where a contact form used to reside. Any help would be appreciated. http://DGLAustin.com — I checked the code and found an open section tag in the footer but fixing that didn’t correct the issue.

    Looks like there is still an html error — http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdglaustin.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

    Looks like there are some other layout issues in that template (width and margins on the middle section of the page) — but fix that error first…

    Firebug is really helpful for looking at the CSS on a live page.

    Cleaned up that issue and now the main content looks like it’s part of the left sidebar, limited to the size of sidebar.

    Great — but that leaves you with some major layout structure problems 

    <section id="content">
     <section id="sidebar">
</section>            THIS IS CLOSING THE CONTENT SECTION

<section id="main">

<section id="sidebar_right">

    Basically, the main and right sidebar sections are below the content section — but they should be inside it…

    And the footer section is outside the wrapper section — and it should be inside it.

    So I’m not sure which of your template files are messed up or what is going on. You might consider changing to another similar theme as it is going to take some php and html knowledge and work to fix these problems…
