“Next Page” appears in a strange place

    Good afternoon.

    I’ve found a lot of posts about issues with the
    Next/Previous Page links, but they don’t seem to be the same issue as mine. Mine work, but they don’t appear at the bottom, they appear after the title of a post near the bottom (see https://www.movienarc.com).

    I’ve tried a couple other ways to code the link but the same thing always happens.

    Any help/suggestions to fix this is much appreciated. I’d like it to appear after the last post on the page.

    Thanks!

    Maybe it is in the wrong place. Maybe it needs its own div. Try to move it, or put it in a div – I don’t know, it’s a trial and error. (Eventually, try to validate the site – that makes easier to locate the problem. I know most of the rrors you have come from the ads, but…)

    Yup, include them in a DIV so that they clear everything.

    If this is the same as the problems I have had it’s because the content block is defined to float:left; for the sidebar. However which this it inline, not block, and subsequent stuff doesn’t clear. As a result anything that is posted afterwards tries to move into the space that is available.

    You can overcome this by adding a clearing-element afterwards. It’s a stupid hack, but try:

    <br style=”clear: both; font: 1px/1px sans-serif;” />

    It simply clears the whole line before continuing.

    It’s not a stupid hack if it works! And it does!

    Thank for the replies people! Much appreciated.

    Hah, it’s a stupid hack because CSS shouldn’t need something like this to achieve a basic formatting requirement. When I had the problem I spent a long time trying to fix it another way rather than sully my source with what *is* an ugly solution…

    But hey, it works huh?!

    The sidebar seems to be central to the problem, I’d be interested if there is any other way to position a sidebar than the one used on most themes as that seems to be the problem.
