    Horrible in wordpress

    i have installed and running my site using wordpress one issue that makes my head burst is that when i posted for about 2 to 3 topics all seems to be good but if i posted nearly 4 posts the side bar messed up and dragged to the bottom of my page..
    whats wrong with my posts?
    i even shrinked the images in my site so that it never overlaps in sidebar..
    is this problem is due to not upgrading my wordpress to 2.6.3 from 2.6.2?
    please help me out :dunno:

    sounds to me that it is a theme issue as previous poster also seem to suspect, an upgrade of version would not help in that case.

    Second page which displays sidebar correctly

    First page which messing up the sidebar
    Edit:
    Back after restoring the original theme files but it doesn't make any difference the sidebar still messing up..
    i checked for possibility of misplaced tags but the tags seems to be fine after all its a premium theme..
    my images are also with in the width of the post section (Post width=598PX in style sheet) i tried increasing the width and decreasing the width of the sidebar it changes but it still being dropped to the bottom as early.
    take a look at those two above links and please help me out..

    Re: Horrible in wordpress

    premium themes are no guarantee they are correct...
    I have ran into a few themes that works rather well as long as you don't change the default settings.
    In one I've tried an error occurred when I disabled commenting, and hence hiding the comment form (through the setting)
    The page broke completely. Investigation of the theme turned out there were a (floated) <div> that remained unclosed in that case, with the comments on it was ok, the div got closed in that template

    Ps. to investigate it's best to view source of the page that displays bad and copy that into a text/html editor of choice and go through it to see if something is unclosed, just checking each template usually does not reveal the issue easily

    Re: Horrible in wordpress

    you're probably not gonna find the error through looking at the theme files, it is by viewing the actual output, ie the parsed page you can find unlcosed tags (they might be closed properly when one condition is true, but not when the condition is false, or wise versa) The problem could also be with in a plugins code.

    After finding the problem, you need to narrow it down to the actual theme file where the code is...

    I do not have the time to do so at the moment (I'm at work), but I'll have a look when I get home if Im not too tired...

    On another note, it does display correct here at work (using FF 2.0), some browsers handle unclosed tags better then others
