Sidebar dropping to bottom of page
-
Well, I know one thing — the problem has nothing to do with my post today. I have five blogs with the same theme, just different colors, and I notice that all of them have dropped sidebars in IE, and disabling scrolling didn’t work.
-
Which version of IE are you using? If you are using IE9 and have it running in compatibility mode then that reduces the function to rendering as IE7 does and IE7 is not supported.
-
And I never said the problem has to do with your latest post: if it had, we would have told you what to correct in that post. Please don’t ignore the advice re the oversized images.
-
justpi, I won’t ignore the advice. But why all of a sudden today did all five of the blogs go bonkers.
timethief, I am on IE9, but not compatability mode.
I disabled infinite scrolling, and that didn’t work, so I followed the instructions about disabling it by switching to a theme with a footer, adding a widget to the footer, and then switching back, but the sidebar is still at the bottom, and the admin bar still doesn’t work.
-
I changed the images, and still the sidebars are dropped and the admin bar is screwed up.

1) “But why all of a sudden today did all five of the blogs go bonkers.”
I guess because both MS and WP change things all the time. Maybe it’s a new bug that WP will find and correct.
But oversized images breaking a theme in IE is a common issue anyway, so you should take care of that, especially since various users use various versions of IE.2) “I changed the images, and still the sidebars are dropped”. Which blog are you referring to? you didn’t change them in http://ptbertram.wordpress.com/ .
-
You’re talking about the widget images, right? Only the top two are image widgets, the other three covers are html code. And I changed the top two images. (Just didn’t change the image you get when you click the photo. But now I did so you can see the change.)
-
And yes, I changed the images in http://ptbertram.wordpress.com/ . I’ll wait to change the other blogs until I get this one straightened out.
-
I had checked your sourcecode, so I know what widgets they are! No, I’m talking about all the images: doesn’t make any difference if they have been inserted via an Image or a Text widget, the result is the exact same type of code.
If you don’t want to edit the other images, modify the code in the Text widgets as I’m suggesting in the post I linked to. That is, remove the standard width and height indications and turn this:
<img ETC ETC
to this:
<img style="width:188px;" ETC ETCSorry for insisting, but clearing this up will help others too.

Two of them aren’t small enough: daismall is 207px wide and ashfbordersm1 is 209 while they should be 188 or less. And the alignment of all of them should be set to none, not left.
-
-
So, the images are changed, the scrolling turned off. Any other suggestions as to what I can try?
-
justpi, I’ve been reading your blog. I didn’t realize WP no longer helps with matters such as this one, so I appreciate your helping me try to find a way out of this mess.

I hoped the problem would miraculoulsy clear up over night, but I’m still having the same problems with my blog. When viewed with IE9, the sidebars have dropped to the bottom, and the admin bar is not working. 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.

Having trouble with our blog as well (free-procurement.com) in IE, but not FF.
Right-side menu (using links in Widgets) is pushed down to the bottom-left of the blog.
Also, “share” buttons not displaying (but links still there).
Also, when logged into system, the links in the top black bar (e.g. to manage blog, check status, logout, etc.) are all over the place (i.e. not lined up where they’re supposed to be).
I’ve deleted temp internet files, history, etc. and problem persists. This is definitely an issue with the WordPress platform and/or Garland theme.
-
I manage blogs with other themes, and so far, the problem is only with my Garland theme blogs.

@ptbertram: You’re welcome. Sorry I didn’t respond earlier – I was out of town. There’s nothing else you can try: you’ll have to wait till WP staff find out what new bug crept up and fix it.
