I'm designing a blog in Wordpress using the Thesis Framework and there is an issue that I just can't seem to find a fix to:
Basically everything is fine on the main page, but when I go into any individual post, the side bar is getting pushed off and showing up right down the button of the page (below the comments).
It's pretty obvious that there is some kind of sizing/width issue and I've played around with a lot of the widths in firebug but just can't seem to find where it's going wrong. I can't find a difference between the main page and post pages either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! A specific solution would be ideal because I've already spent a lot of time tinkering with it to try and address the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I had this problem as well with the thesis framework. I found two reasons where it produced a similar mistake on my blog:
The first reason is that the sidebar + content area is bigger than you container. That would make the sidebar go below the the content. Make sure also that the content of the sidebar is also smaller than the sidebar. I had a Facebook box in the sidebar that was bigger, thus pushed the whole sidebar below the content.
An other reason was a plugin that I had installed. If you have any plugins installed try and see if one of those is interfering with the sidebar layout.
If that doesn't work you can also post a snippet of the code so that I can look at it.
I often have this problem when editing a page in html (text) mode and forget a closing tag, most notably a . If using tables, a missing , or similar will cause this.
So, in brief, make sure all your opening tags have a corresponding close tag.
Make sure the html is syntax-error free. I had the same problem and the culprit was a wrong closing tag (<b/>)

I am a writer and I have menu for my chapters list on my website of 30+ chapters and currently it annoyingly looks like this:
current website
As you can see it cuts off, and Wordpress annoyingly doesn't have a feature that turns it automatically scrollable. There are 30+ chapters and you have to keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling down to see them all.
I have found some good looking solutions on StackOverflow but don't know where and how to apply them on Wordpress.
If anyone could talk me through literally step-by-step 1. where to find the CSS of my Wordpress site 2. the code I'll need 3. where to paste it 4. if there's anything I need to add to the navigation block's inidividual "Additional CSS Classes" part like so: Additional box in the corner and anything else I need to do. I would be super grateful!
One of my fears is just dumping a bit of code somewhere in the middle of editable CSS and screwing up my entire site! My CSS knowledge is super beginner so laymans terms is very much appreciated thanks :)
I tried using Plugins (those seem even more confusing than CSS) and have considered using Elementor too but I have Googled and YouTubed, trying to find a solution and nowhere has something as specific as what I'm looking to achieve frustratingly.
I tried following this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73XjO7hFZaw but didn't know what my "Target Element Selector" was, even when I went into Inspect on Chrome, all I found was this
hope someone can help, I'm a rookie with WordPress, recently made the jump from Joomla.
My client has asked me to put a phone number on every page, top right, I didn't know how to do this, so, with a little digging I found a plugin called 'custom header footer content' this has allowed me to put the phone number in using code within the plugin, however, when you resize the page it moves from left to right and I would like it fixed to be inline with the end of the navigation, any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a better/easier way to do this?
Any advice would be appriciated?

I was googling to find a solution for this forever, I was so close but still can't find the problem...
The closest solution I found was at this site But:
I want exactly the opposite of what this guy posted: Automatic line break in js SyntaxHighlighter
He wants instead of horizontal bar to break the code down, but what do I want is instead of breaking the code down, to display a horizontal bar.
I've used SH on multiple projects and never actually had this issue till now.
I've installed it in wordpress as a plugin in a custom theme, I modified the theme css file(s) and the syntax highlighter's file(s) (.css), but still nothing's going on.
Here's a screenshot
If you have any suggestion what the problem might be, please tell me - any help is appreciated.
I think what you are looking for is a combination of overflow and white-space css properties.
pre {overflow:scroll;}
.pre-wrap {white-space:pre-wrap;}
Please see the footle here

I've just solved it.
Downloaded this plugin that fixed everything alone.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/installation/
I have a Wordpress site that uses a JQuery plugin called Hover-Caption ( https://github.com/coryschires/hover-caption ).
The main page of site: (http://brighidfitzsimons.com) looks good.
However in Internet Explorer 9, a similar page based on Category adds a 282px top offset to the post thumbnail image. (http://brighidfitzsimons.com/category/lifestyle/)
I am new web developer so I am struggling to figure out how to isolate problem. Based on this stackoverflow entry ( How do I get rid of an element's offset using CSS? ) my current train of thought is to add a IE specific CSS sheet to 'reverse' the offset but I can't seem to get at the offending element. Also I'm confused why works on main page but not on category page. If you watch page loading carefully, it initially loads correctly then at the very end the images are moved down. Perhaps this is a clue.
First stackoverflow entry so I hope I have followed correct ettiquete. Please advise if you need me to provide any more information.
Thanks for taking time to read problem.

It has something to do with the substitutions of the content inside the title, probably some quirk about ie9 which someone else would have more of an idea for me
just so you can take my word for it: http://jsfiddle.net/BXjK3/
the first two i have removed all the greater, lesser and quotes and it works, but I would say the browser does the substitutions before Javascript can see it, and it all goes down-hill
edit: worth mentioning the reason it looks like that is because the text is no longer properly contained, and so the display none is not taking effect on it, pushing all the images down and making it a jumble, due to the way the content is loaded the ie inspection cannot show me how the text is after the javascript, only what was loaded on page load, so i can't give you more help than that
