  My sidebar suddenly moved to the bottom of my blog. I deleted the blog post that I thought was causing the issue. I am not able to find ‘open <div> tags on any posts. I tried a different theme. I took off everything but the follow blog button on the sidebar to see if that would do anything. I have not added any new plug ins. I don’t know how to fix it. I sure would appreciate some help. Blog URL is here: https://mariaappleby.wordpress.com/

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

  Hey Maria!

  I see you sidebar to the right now with the follow widget. Is everything set now?

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  When I pull up my blog, it’s still on the bottom. Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you for taking a look. I’m sorry…..I have no idea why it happened….and I have no idea how or why it resolved.

  Hi there,
  Just in case this happens again.

  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 Dashboard > Settings > Writing
  Formatting and enable
  _ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

  For sorting this out see:

  I don’t have the option to edit a sidebar, only footers. How would I add a sidebar please?
