CSS Sidebar overlay my content - css

Question

I have found a sidebar and have insert a link. Here you can see a sample.
But the link doesn't work because the sidebar overlays the link. What can I do to resolve this problem?
z-index is not working for me.
a {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.me {
width: 400px;
margin: 90px auto;
}
.me p,
.me h1 {
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 3px;
text-align: center;
}
.me p {
font-weight: 200;
}
.me span {
font-weight: bold;
}
.social {
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
}
.social ul {

Answer 1

You need to give the div a position. In order not to mess with z-indexes, put the div after the sidebar.
div.problematic_div {
position:relative;
}
But I recommend you to check how you are positioning your elements.
div.problematic_div {
position: relative;
}
a {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.me {
width: 400px;
margin: 90px auto;
}
.me p,
.me h1 {
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 3px;
text-align: center;
}
.me p {
font-weight: 200;
}
.me span {
font-weight: bold;
}
.social {
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
}
.social ul {
padding: 0px;
-webkit-transform: translate(-270px, 0);
-moz-transform: translate(-270px, 0);
-ms-transform: translate(-270px, 0);
-o-transform: translate(-270px, 0);
transform: translate(-270px, 0);
}
.social ul li {
display: block;
margin: 5px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.36);
width: 300px;
text-align: right;
padding: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 30px 30px 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0 30px 30px 0;
border-radius: 0 30px 30px 0;
-webkit-transition: all 1s;
-moz-transition: all 1s;
-ms-transition: all 1s;
-o-transition: all 1s;
transition: all 1s;
}
.social ul li:hover {
-webkit-transform: translate(110px, 0);
-moz-transform: translate(110px, 0);
-ms-transform: translate(110px, 0);
-o-transform: translate(110px, 0);
transform: translate(110px, 0);
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}
.social ul li:hover a {

.social ul li:hover i {
