Wordpress footer question

9 replies
The footer of my WP blog has moved from where it belongs to a place on my second column on the right of my blog page. All the links work but it is in
a compressed box and I'm not sure why it moved. Any ideas?

    have you made any changes to the page, i.e add graphics or widgets?

    If so, they may be to large for the style sheet settings thus, moved the footer.

      Thanks Eric--I have made changes and added widgets including a youtube window. I'll have to check that out.

      OK I made the changes, took out the banner and you tube widgets and the footer is still out of place. Is there a css issue in another file?

        Looks like your autoresponder has been dropped into the widgets bar w/o being in a widget. Yes, that can mess things up a bit too.

        You could try to put your signup in a real widget (alter the size within the widget) and then remove that code.

        I've had issues when adding stuff like that before. I'm guessing it's your second sidebar alterations.

        Never mind then if you didn't make any changes to the CSS file then that's not the problem.

        I did notice you have a lot of long links in your top navigation menu. They're too long to fit there. Remove one at a time and see if the footer goes back to normal.

        Sometimes when this happens you have to roll back to the way it was originally and make one change at a time until you figure out what went wrong.

    It's because that banner and video in your side bar is too big. Remove them and the footer should go back into place.

    Claude,

    Did you already make modifications to the style.css file?

    You may want to just re-upload the original style-css file and that should fix it.
