  Whatever theme I use, my widgets only show at the bottom of the page underneath all my posts. How do I fix this with the new update?

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

  Hi there,

  Sidebars and widgets in them do not fall to the bottom and display below posts and/or posts do not appear in sidebars 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

  After you go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
  Formatting
  _ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

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

  NOTE: Not every theme is designed to have sidebars. Read the theme description in each case. Example http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/typo/

  It shows where the archive should be in the themes I use, but as soon as I activate it, it doesn’t go where it says. It goes straight to the bottom of my blog. I don’t customize my widgets or anything. It used to appear in the proper spot it says on the theme until the update.

  Go here and read please. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/typo/
  That theme does NOT have sidebars designed into the theme.
