Sidebar showing up on the footer

  • Unknown's avatar

    Sidebar is displayed on the footer. I checked the help>layout issues and narrowed down the culprit post (latest one) but there are no extra html tags especially the </div> tag within this post. The only extra attributes beyond the text are a page link and a photo which was uploaded.

    I’m using the Chateau theme if that makes any difference. When I made the post last night I didn’t notice the layout change but it was late so I might not have.

    Any further suggestions?

    If you want to try some troubleshooting please try this:
    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.)

    if that does not work see here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

    timethief,

    Thanks so much for your response. I had already checked and saved the “correct XHTML” but your suggestion of switching it to draft and republishing it did the trick.

    Great community, fast answer – thanks again.
