Wordpress sidebar issue, need help

I have an issue where I have built a new wordpress site for a client and I downloaded the simple green theme through wordpress. The problem I have is the sidebar is showing up on the bottom right of the page below the post.

Here is a link to the page, Custom Care Construction LLC

For testing purposes I have disabled all plugins and I had deleted all pages and posts but still have the same issue.

I did some looking on the internet and found a site that uses the same theme, bizoppshome and that is how the theme should look. I've tried looking at their CSS but I can't figure out what's going on, it's a brand new site so I am really lost.

Any help you can provide I would greatly appreciate!

    Have you made any changes to the style sheet? It's definitely something with the CSS, kicking the sidebar to the bottom.

    Maybe download the theme from a different site and change it out, could have bad code in the stylesheet.

    I haven't made any changes to the style sheet. I actually deleted the theme and re-downloaded it through wordpress but I will start looking for another site with it and see if that works.

    In your style sheet (style.css) - your #container is set to:
    Code:
    #container {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:left;
width:960px
    Change the width to:
    Code:
    #container {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:left;
width:950px

    Jayo! Thank you so much! That fixed it. I wonder why the author would have a set his template to that width in the first place.

    Thanks again!

      Jay,

      While only the developer can answer that for certain, I noticed the footer has the copyright date as 2009. I ran into something similar one time where the culprit was that the theme was no longer compatible with the latest version of WP. The only remedy was to install an new theme.

      I'd keep an eye on it.

    No problem. If you use firefox, download Firebug. It'll make you look smart
