Help, sidebar is messed up.

Hey take a look at http://bandeq.com/taiwan/?cat=5 .. the rest of the site works fine, but I don't know why - but for some reason whenever you enter a category - the sidebar moves below the posts..

Can anyone help me?
Jason

Er.. but how would I do that since the sidebar is controlled by sidebar.php, and it automatically generates the page by pulling information from sidebar.php. It's not like there's an index.html where I would edit everything..

Please tell me if I don't know what I'm talking about here, because I'm quite sure I don't

Jason

 

try putting this before the content div is opened:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

 

Uh, okay wait where do I put that? in which of the files - style.css, index.php.... and also I just realized I don't have category.php, would that be the problem?

PS I don't see anything out of the ordinary.. I don't know why its even acting up like that.

HELP PLEASE!!
Jason

 

go into your theme folder and have a look for these files in the order

category-6.php
category.php
archive.php
index.php

it is inside the first one of them which you have i think, so open that file and try moving the line:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

to before the <div id="content"> so at the top of the page underneath <?php get_header(); ?>

maybe will work not sure..

 

Yeah, the wierd thing is - the theme i downloaded did not provide category, or archive files...

What now..?

Jason

 

its in the main index file... or your theme's index.php..
the arrangement must be
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id content>contents and some wordpress codes here </div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

if that wont work.. there has to be some bug in that template's css...

 

Jasoncdu if U still have problem send me the files I will do that for u. Its not a big issue I guess.
