  I am using the Selecta theme and have three widgets running in the default sidebar. The sidebar appears in the appropriate place on every page of the site, except the landing page where posts are displayed. On the landing page, the sidebar appears below all of the posts. Does anyone know what the problem is?

  The site can be accessed here: http://fuerzatucson.wordpress.com/.

  Thanks for your help!

  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 http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  The reason your sidebar has fallen and is displaying below your posts is either due to copying and pasting or it can also be a result of importing text containing invalid HTML. Typically this is caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts.
  Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)

  Thanks for your response. That all makes sense and I checked both possibilities. What I found is that the sidebar falls any time there are more than two sticky posts, regardless of the content. Even if I post three new, clean sticky posts with no content, the sidebar still falls.

  That sounds like a bug so it’s good this thread is in the Themes Forum. Themes Staff monitor threads here and will address this.
