 * Fortunately the widgets have not disappeared but they are showing at the bottom
   of the page.
 * Some edits to the CSS file were made which has pushed the sidebar below the main
   content of the page. Please update on the changes made.
 * If you can post the CSS file code in pastebin that would helpful as well.
 * Not to worry this can be fixed.

 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_a_Website](http://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_a_Website)
 * your site has a lot of html validation errors:
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwvredreads.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwvredreads.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
 * some of which are very likely to distort the layout of a site, such as ‘Stray
   end tag div’.
 * these errors can be in the template files or within the content of the posts.
 * for instance, check the content of ‘Beyond Your Blog – ABEA’ for matched opening/
   closing divs.
 * use the html mode of the post editor…

 * Sorry there is no need to post the CSS code in pastebin. I can access it (I guess
   it is pretty late for me in the night)!
 * Agree with [@alchymyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/). I also
   feel the errors need to be fixed first before going further.

 * Ok. I am still a novice at WordPress.
 * This issue has only arisen today. I have made no changes to the site structure,
   so I am not sure what I would “undo.”
 * How are these errors arising? I usually post directly from WordPress itself. 
   And how would I go about fixing them and preventing them?

 * >  I have made no changes to the site structure
 * therefore my comment, to look for the errors _**in the content **_of the latest
   posts.
 * anyway, you seem to have fixed the error(s), as I can see the sidebar in the 
   right position.
 * if you are working with the visual editor and using copy/paste, it is not always
   easy to totally avoid these errors; hopefully you now know more how to correct
   the errors if this problem occurs again.
 * is this is all sorted, please mark this topic as ‘resolved’ – thanks.

 * Thank you for your help. I don’t cut and paste but I will know how to fix this
   issue in the future. (maybe) 😉
