Sidebar widgets are forced to the very bottom

  I’m exasperated. All of a sudden (on other themes too) my sidebar widgets are across the very bottom of my site….after you scroll and scroll and scroll. I can’t figure out what is causing it. There is a weird Instagram link showing that says //platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js appearing where my widgets should be. Can anyone help?

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

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

  For sorting this out see:

  Thank you so much! There were some Instagram links I had in a post 5 weeks ago that were messing the entire blog up. Of course now I have a different problem where a good link keeps saying it doesn’t exist. Ugh! I’ll figure it out though.

  Thanks again! Avoid Instagram embedded and linked videos!

  :-)
