Wordpress help

by andybeveridge

I put together a blog for my sister sometime ago. She contacted me this morning asking for help.
The blog has two sidebars for widgets. She has done something and for the life of me, I can not see how to put it right. The right hand sidbar has disappeared completely, but is clearly visible in the admin area.

When you add a wiget it appears at the bottom of the page.

Any ideas?

    What's where the sidebar is supposed to be? Is it just white space, or has the content stretched right across now?

    Have you tried looking at it with Firefox using the 'Firebug' plugin? It is often possible to spot what's amiss quite quickly with that one.

    Diana, there is just white space where the sidebar should be. I even activated another theme for her but it stays the same. here is the link Creative competitor

    Just do not understand what she could have done. She said that she only added an html script into a text widget.

    The problem shows ONLY on that "About" page... used as a homepage now (looks awful with the comment form on frontpage, btw).

    Try to figure out what's wrong with that one Page - the rest seems to work.

      I would definitely use another theme - 2 reasons:

      One - the menubar isn't displaying properly on any of the pages
      Two - there is a permanent link to "cheap cigarettes" in the footer

      I'm by no means the Wordpress expert that Istvan is, but if you like I'd be happy to login and see if I can spot the problem. PM me if you'd like me to do that.

    It looks like you've got a missing or unwanted div tag going on there somewhere. The right sidebar and footer are inside the content div for some reason. The page content must be causing it if it is no different with another theme. If it were the widget content then I imagine it would do the same to sidebar on all pages.

    Andy, can you go into the back office and create a new admin account and pm me the details? I think I might be able to fix it for you.
