Just installed wordpress 3.8 on a brand new site/domain. Using the prosense grey theme. Prosense has 2 sidebars.

The first sidebar anything I add sticks to the bottom of the page.

This is a demo site: pretend the adsense banner is stuck to the bottom of the page.

ProSense Grey

Im sure this must be a simple fix as its a fresh install.

Any help?

    There is only one reason why sidebars go "below" the content: there is at least one item that is wider than the defined width of the container. It could be something in the content area or, most likely, in the sidebar.

    It could be an image, a long link or a long compound word without spaces... or just wrong code.

      It would have to be code because its a fresh install and every widget i try has the same result. Would this be in styles or sidebar.php?

        I wish it was that simple... one file or the other.

        Are you saying the error appears only when you put a widget into the sidebar?
        If yes, that's already a sign pointing toward one possible solution: the width of the widgets could be bigger than the sidebar's.

        Start checking in the style.css and compare the width of different elements.
        Also, let the theme author know about it - it may be some incompatibility of the theme with the latest WP version.
