Need some help for my Wordpress Blog.

    Hello all,

    I just encountered a problem with my wordpress blog and I would really appreciate it if you can help me.

    You can find the site here. I don't have any ads on the site whatsoever, so I am not trying to advertise my site in any way.

    The problem I have is that the sidebar is not on the right (as it used to be). It's below all my posts on the homepage. If you click on the About Us page or try to read any post, the sidebar reappears on the right - but on some pages it doesn't.

    The width of the posts on the homepage seems to be messed up as well. I don't know how this happened. The blog used to be in perfect shape and all I did was to add more articles. As far as I remember (and this only happened 10 minutes ago), the site went crazy when I added my last article. As soon as I added it, I visited to homepage to see how it looks and I saw all these problems.

    Please help :)

    Thanks in advance for all your responces!

    P.S.: It's definately not a problem with the theme cause I tried using several others (including the official default theme and the same problem occurred).

    i think, something wrong in your "sidebar.php" file. Edit this, and make a necessary change in it.

    I apologize in advance for a long post but this is my sidebar.php. I can't see anything wrong with it - do you?

    Thanks for trying to help!

    i suggest you export the files via "export" in your wordpress dashboard, and then reinstall the template. Then import your content back again. the sidebar is at the bottom on my pc as well.

    Try removing 'sidebar.php' from the themes folder and uploading a new copy.

    Tried both your suggestions. None of them worked - thanks so much for your thoughts though.

    Removed the sidebar.php and uploaded a new copy - No change.

    Exported all the files - deleted the posts - reinstalled the template - imported all files - No change.

    However, it's worth pointing out that when I was deleting the posts, I saw that when there was only 1 post left, the sidebar went back to its original position. The sidebar would get closer to its original position for every post I erased. If I set the homepage to only display 1 post, then the sidebar is right where it should be... but I would really like to be able to show more than 1 post in my homepage.

    Another thing to note is that when if I use the old classic WP default template, the sidebar is at the right place. If I use any other template (including the default blue) then the sidebar is messed up. It's very confusing and I understand that it can be really hard for you to help me if you don't have access to the blog setup.

    I would be all for giving access to someone who is willing to help me out, but as a precaution, I would ask that this person be registered with DP for at least a year.

    Please keep posting guys. This is a PR3 blog and it is very important to keep it up and running :(

    Thanks again!!!

    I've deeply investigated at current bug. I'm sure. it's not problem of theme.
    If you spend little amount of money. I'll fix this bug. However, without practical action. we are unable to fix this bug.

    Thanks for the offer! I have finally managed to fix it though :D

    The problem was that some of the posts were preformatted from Word, and they were wider so they pushed the sidebar away and it went to the bottom. I pasted the posts on notepad - copied and pasted back to the blog - and boom! the sidebar was back in place!!!

    Thanks to everyone for their help!
