  Hi,

  Does anyone know what’s wrong with my sidebar? Ever since I uploaded a post containing a series of photographs, all the widgets in my right sidebar have been displaced. They’ve been shuffled right down below the bottom of the page, seen here: http://flashbangers.com/2012/09/26/2011-12-queensland-country-press-awards/

  Any advice that might rectify this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Harry

  Sidebars do not fall to the bottom and display below posts unless
  (1) content has been imported into the blog,
  (2) the blogger has been copying and pasting content from elsewhere, without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
  (3) or the blogger has copied and pasted invalid HTML into a text widget or left an HTML tag open

  See here for sorting this out > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

  Thank you for a comprehensive response.

  Unfortunately none of those solutions seemed to work, however I have been able to determine that the problem is because I pasted something from Word.

  However, it was pasted as a caption for a photo, and I’m guessing, like would be the case if the error was within a widget, I will have to re-do it manually.

  Cheers!

  No, the instructions on that last link should work. Just be sure to edit the post once you’ve changed the setting.
