Wordpress question

    I have a site running WP and I've got the WProbot plugin installed and I just made a change to the setup so it is doing translation on the post that it creates.

    It seems that after enabling the translation module it has started messing up my page formatting / layout. The sidebar is now going at the bottom of the post. The space for the sidebar is still on the side but the widgets are going under the post in the right hand side of the main content area. And the footer now appears to be under the leaderboard ad space

    The site is http://www.makemoney2011.us. It will open to a static page. In the widget on the right for "Recent Posts" the top two post have been added since the translation function was enabled.. Also notice the footer on normal pages i.e. any page besides these two recently added pages, has the "Socrates" logo in it but the footer on the messed up pages appears to be at the top, above the content area. It's as though it's been removed from the page flow like maybe with a z-index value or an absolute position value. ANd why only these two pages?


    Note the bottom two post were added before the translation function was enabled and those pages seem to be fine.

    Hmm... I looked at this last night in Firefox and IE and both of them were pushing the widgets down under the main content area

    Now this morning only IE is doing it. That's an improvement but still IE accounts for well over half the browsers out there. It would be good if it displayed correctly in IE.

    What usually causes the box to move down the page is that it is too wide. I suspect this is the case here.

    You are also using borders for both the left-side of sidebar and the right-side of main content. Unfortunately the sidebar is not as tall as the content, and you can see it.

    You can remove the border from the .im-sidebar class rule in your stylesheet. That should allow room in IE for the box. Border widths are in addition to the width of the box in IE, while other browsers are typically not. Also, the padding on the left side is not really needed. Getting rid of both will allow both boxes room to breath.

    It should read like this:

    
.im-sidebar {
  clear: none;
  float: right;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  padding: 0 5px 5px 0;
  width: 311px;
}
    Code (markup):
