Title: Fix Sidebar Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Fix Sidebar * [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/) * I don’t know what happened — but, after a few weeks, some pages don’t like the sidebar where it is on the homepage, and I don’t know why. Can someone help me out? * [http://www.absoluteonline.org](http://www.absoluteonline.org) * Check any of the pages other than the home page.

Or maybe even someone might help you quicker though here, just just by viewing your CSS and such.. I’m not sure..I can’t really because I’m kinda busy right now.. =) * spencerp * [the_rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the_rob/) * (@the_rob) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346273) * Difficult to tell… But it looks like your page template file has misplaced code. Check the position of the sidebar in the template. * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346275) * Also, in IE6, I’m getting a javascript error, make sure on the javascripts you have in the sidebar.php or whatever other files is ok.. =) * Plus these [4 Errors](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.absoluteonline.org%2F) should be fixed then as well. =) * spencerp * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346343) * even if I revert back to original K2 theme CSS, the Sidebar is still messed up— so perhaps it has to do w/ the HTML? When I delete the code I added to make the Photo Gallery and Devotionals appear on every page (adding HTML to the sidebar in the theme editor) it still looks messed up, so I figured it wasn’t the code I imported that made the design mess up. * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346345) * why would the sidebar look fine on the homepage and this ‘staff page’: * [http://www.absoluteonline.org/?page_id=26](http://www.absoluteonline.org/?page_id=26) * :/ I don’t get it. * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346347) * Also — I use FireFox w/o much interest in supporting IE kids 😀 * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346350) * I just viewed it again in both IE6 and FF once…seems that just maybe the search field could be shortened.. :/ Try that once…see what happens.. * Scratch what I said about the devotional thing, here I didn’t have Javascript enabled in FF. Dang thing.. Keeps changing settings on me when I open it up… sigh.. * So I’m not sure really, but like I said, maybe try shortening the search field once.. * spencerp * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346363) * how can I shorten the search field? * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346365) * ya, I think that’s the problem … why does the search bar get longer on the other pages, can I control this? * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346366) * wait — nevermind, take a look at the photo gallery; the search bar isn’t crazy long and it still puts the gallery over the sidebar. * [http://www.absoluteonline.org/lazy-index.php](http://www.absoluteonline.org/lazy-index.php) * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346367) * On that page in IE6, the sidebar is on the left side. :/ Could you maybe not have the sidebar on that page all together? Atleast people will still have the“ home” link to get back home at the top nav bar..This way it won’t clutter your gallery either.. just a thought.. * spencerp * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346369) * I’ll have to give that some thought. And where I’d place things like the gallery and devotional, I’d prefer there be links to those from all pages. * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346373) * Ok. =) It’s up to you, but I have to get off here for now, gotta do some errands and stuff lol.. * spencerp * Thread Starter [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * (@leetcharmer) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346376) * ya — and I gotta go to school — I’ll think about it, thanks. * Alternatively — I guess I could reinstall WordPress, and that should prolly fix it 😀 Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Fix Sidebar’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [Misplaced](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/misplaced/) * 14 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [leetcharmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leetcharmer/) * Last activity: [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-sidebar/#post-346376) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
