Sidebar dropping to bottom of page
-
My sidebar on my front page drops to the bottom. I’ve looked at the HTML and there are no <div> tags that I can see. It Happens in the post Joyrides for Grandma. I’m not sure which others are causing it, too. Thanks for your help.

The code of the captioned image is messed up. You need to remove this from the HTML editor:
<p><a href="http://mattdevir.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/old-lady-speeding.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-148" title="old-lady-speeding" src="http://mattdevir.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/old-lady-speeding.jpg?w=640" alt="" /></a></p> <dl class="wp-caption alignleft"> <dt class="wp-caption-dt"></dt> <dd class="wp-caption-dd">Gonna hit the road and then gonna hit something on the road.</dd> </dl>Then re-insert the image.

Help! I am having the same problem — my right sidebar dropping to the bottom of the page. Also, the black admin bar on the blog doesn’t work.

I don’t have any stray <div> tags that I can see. I checked the last ten posts. Even checked some older posts. The blog was fine until I posted my lasted entry. I even deleted the content and repasted it using the text editor. The sidebar is still dropped, and is dropped for all posts.
-
What about OTHER tags? Did you change that setting under Settings->General? Did you check your widgets for open tags?
-
I changed the setting under Settings->Writing. I reposted and updated the article. I checked my widgets, and didn’t see any open tags. Could they have opened if they were closed? The only thing I did different today was post an article. Everything was fine during the posting except that the image uploader didn’t work right away.
-
One weird thing happened while posting the article — after I clicked publish, the image disappeared so I had to add the image again and update the post.

The right sidebar is dropped. I checked the blog on firefox and it looks fine, but on IE, the sidebar is dropped and the admin bar doesn’t load right.
-
Which version of IE are you using? Not all are supported, and if you’ve done any CSS editing, IE is notoriously difficult to work with.
-
I’m using the most current. IE 8, I think. And I don’t do any CSS editing. My blog has been static for years, but something happened while I was posting today.

Okay, I “figured it out”. I clicked the box ensuring the html code works. Then I cut and pasted the culprit post and reposted it. It’s worked fine.

Define “doesn’t work.” What do you expect it to do when you take action? What action do you take? What happens then?

One possible problem is the image cover images you have added. The right sidebar in Garland is 188px wide but those images are a lot larger, and IE has issues with images downsized the ‘normal’ way. You should downsize all these images to the right pixel width, using an image editing application or an online tool, and upload those versions. If you can’t do that, use Text widgets instead of image widgets, with the code I’m giving here:

When you’re reading a blog post, and you hover over the name of your blog in the left hand side of the admin bar, normally you get a dropdown box with several choices, such as dashboard, stats, widgets, etc. I don’t get dropdown box. On the right hand side, the icons are shuffled, first comes the search icon, then new post. And if I hover the mouse on my name, I don’t get the drop down box to manage the blog, find friends, etc.
