then perhaps the problem is with your posts or how you call images, etc.
unclosed <div>'s are a killer
I was thinking that, but on the dummy page I used plain text and not a lot of it. The default theme did the same thing in that situation.
If it is a div issue, which seems plausible, I can’t find where to correct it, especially since I have done nothing to the code to begin with.
many themes make it a feature not to show sidebar (and footer) in single posts. some do extend the space to show a wider area for the single post, some don’t. look into ‘single.php’ and you will find no ‘get_sidebar’ near the end.
if you insist in having a sidebar even on single posts, add the lines back into single.php – right at the end:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
you might need to change more than that and adjust the style as well.
^Thanks – I checked with the theme creator’s page, and their page with the theme has a sidebar and footer on single posts.
I also checked the single.php file and the sidebar and footer php statements are there. Here is the code for single.php:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post single” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<div class=”post-header”>
<div class=”date”> <?php the_time(‘M j’) ?> <span><?php the_time(‘y’) ?></span></div>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class=”author”>by <?php the_author() ?></div>
</div><!–end post header–>
<div class=”entry clear”>
<?php the_content(‘read more…’); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(‘Edit This’,'<p>’,'</p>’); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div><!–end entry–>
<div class=”meta clear”>
<p>From <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> </p>
<div class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘<span>Tags</span> <p>’, ‘, ‘, ‘</p>’); ?></div>
</div><!–end meta–>
</div><!–end post–>
<?php endwhile; /* rewind or continue if all posts have been fetched */ ?>
<?php comments_template(”, true); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!–end content–>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
the last echo in the html is:
</div><!--end meta-->
</div><!--end post-->
that indicates that the single.php aborts some here:
<?php endwhile; /* rewind or continue if all posts have been fetched */ ?>
<?php comments_template('', true); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!--end content-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
i pass this to the php experts …
Why don’t you try what samboll hinted at and validate your site?
^Yes, I initially did that and saw the “end tag for “div” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.”
Problem is, I can’t find any self closed or unclosed div.
If it is a PHP problem like shown above, I have been unsuccessful in fixing that as well.
I had the same problem and it drove me nuts. I found this article: http://www.wordpressmax.com/wordpress/add-sidebar
After I added the “get side bar” in the code, I changed the column size from wide to narrow to allow room for the side bar.
div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”> to div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
This worked for me.
