 * Thanks the problem fixed the error. But another error came up now.
 * For some reason, I can now only show a limited amount of posts that depends on
   my sidebar length (otherwise the posts goes mess up). If the total post length
   is longer than the total sidebar length, the posts goes everywhere. By everywhere,
   I mean that posts starts appearing on the sidebar.
 * I tested it on other themes and the problem is still there. So that means its
   not the themes problem.
 * Does anyone know the problem? The only thing I did was in /public_html/home/wp-
   config.php
 * How do you change the placement of posts back? Thanks.

 * [@govpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/govpatel/) its ok. Yesterday,
   I already changed MySQL database username, password, and generated a new set 
   of secret key authentication info.
 * Do you know the problem with my wp-config.php file? It looks like “excess” posts
   are going directly towards the sidebar instead of continuing in the main column.
   So I think it might be a missing code in wp-config.

 * wp-config.php file has nothing to do with where your post are posted.
 * It will be your css as that where it is all layed out.
    and widgets as all widgets
   go in sidebar

 * And yes the widgets should be on the sidebar. But the posts are taking up the
   space for the sidebar.
 * Which file do I need to edit for CSS to fix the problem? Theres so many of them.
 * style.css
    admin.css ie6.css ie6_full.css ie7.css pagenavi-css.css wp-paginate.
   css

 * It seems a problem in the wordpress package.. Because it is clear from your post
   that you have got a fresh wordpress installed.. better will be you replace the
   wordpress with a fresh copy downloaded from wordpress site and then try it out..
   I hope it could solve the problem… 🙂

 * No its not a fresh install. Everything was working properly. I was doing some
   edits for wp-config.php and then next thing you know, posts and widgets gets 
   misplaced.

 * (see next paragraph) If it is a 3.1 install you could try a re-install (in the
   Dashboard Updates screen). This should endure that all your core files are correct.
   If the problem still persists then it is a wp-config.php/plugin/theme issue.
 * It is generally easier to test for plugin and theme issues first (to at least
   disregard them from the problem). Turn off all the plugins and switch to 2010
   theme. If the problem goes away, turn them back on 1 by 1 to find the problem.
   You could try this before doing a re-install and afterwards.
 * I say all this because it is unusual for wp-config.php to affect your css.

 * I just tried all of that (re-install 3.1, deactivate plugins, remove widgets,
   new theme) and its still not working.
 * The sidebar still gets misplaced. It looks to me that I can only get exactly 
   4 posts on the front page. Anything more will get posts misplaced.
 * Also, when I click on page 2 and 4 the posts are misplaced and messed up even
   when I have 4 posts setted. The sidebar gets moved to the bottom of the side 
   while posts take up the space in the top of the sidebar.

 * STOP THIS! If your config.php is working now and it apparently is mark this resolved.
   This post should NOT be about anything but the title.
 * If you are having problems with some other area post something new with a title
   that describes what is happening. Post a URL so people can actually LOOK at the
   problem. Do a SEARCH on the web for similiar problems. Stay focused.
