  Also have you been copying and pasting from elsewhere? Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal.

  If you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, please see here so you know how to do this correctly in the future. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  I’ve tried everything. Nothing works. My posts are displayed but no widgets, no older entries link, nothing. Just the posts and they are not displaying properly. This is getting to be painful and I am thinking of moving to another blog site. How’s Blogger ?Any ideas ? Could the blog have been hacked ? HELP ME !

  Any ideas? Apparently you didn’t read the reply I linked to.

  Thanks Pana: I just went and put all my posts from the last 2 days in the trash and the blog is working again ! Now I got to figure out which one did this ? Re-instate them one by one until I find the culprit ?
  Thank you,
  Lou
  BTW: I felt like I lost my best friend. I’m definitely hooked on blogging !

  You’re welcome. But you didn’t have to trash the posts: my instructions would have corrected them.
  If you’re curious to know which one was the culprit, yes add them back one by one till the blog front gets messed up again. If you’re curious to know what exactly caused it and you’re not familiar with HTML, leave the culprit on and uncorrected for a while so we can check its sourcecode and tell you. But I can tell you in advance that it’s probably an unclosed or stray div tag.
