My widgets are showing up in the wrong place.

    My blog: onlynatural.wordpress.com
    Theme: Tarski

    The summary and example of the Tarski theme shows it to be two columns, with an option to have widgets in the main sidebar (to the left) and footer widgets.

    So I have three widgets listed in my main sidebar (flickr, tag cloud, and top posts) and one in my footer (archive). But when you go to my blog, it shows up with all of my widgets under my entries at the bottom of the page.

    I’ve tried…
    -Removing the sidebar widgets, and reactivating them in the sidebar.
    -Removing the sidebar widgets, activating them in the footer, then removing them and reactivating them in the sidebar.
    -Viewing my blog on other computers and other browsers.
    -Giving up.

    I’d really love to actually notify WordPress about it to see if they could fix the theme or something? It does the same thing with other themes and it hasn’t done this until yesterday. I just switched from the Benevolence theme and they worked perfectly for me in that one.

    Help! And if you don’t have any ideas, is there anyway for me to contact the site?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Okay, and I just tried switching back to Benevolence. It still works for me with that theme, but still not with Tarski.

    Benevolence is the only theme the widgets have worked for me. All the other themes I try have had the same issue.

    On your “My dream wardrobe would include these:” post, the “more” tag is within the div tags for the image right above it. Open that post for edit and put your cursor right after the image and hit return/enter and that should take care of the problem.

    Another note: With the W3C validator, it is showing a lot of formatting errors on your main page (missing ending tags for spans typically). Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “save changes” at the bottom of the page. Then open each post on your main page, make one small change (like adding a space and then deleting it) and then click “update post” and wordpress should automatically correct the errors for you.

    YAY! Thank you so much!! The more tag issue didn’t fix it, but having wordpress correct the XHTML for me did!

    You are officially my favorite person ever at the moment.
