How can I get sidebar beside content? It was perfect. Now it’s below content.

  • How can I get my sidebar to appear next to the content?

    I somewhat know how to use Chrome’s “Inspection” tool for looking at css. Is there a way to live-modify php too?

    When I last looked at my site, it was in fine form. Now it’s partially messed-up. I suppose an update to a theme or one of my many plugins caused it. The theme updated Aug 18. I have backups but I don’t think any from before then.

    The theme’s support forum has never had any replies, including to my questions.
    I’m not looking for feedback about how to make my site better. I’m hoping someone can figure out what happened, or skipping that, how can I get my sidebar to appear next to the content? Also: why are my footer elements now ten times their proper size and in the wrong orientation?

    I ran debug, but to me at least it doesn’t seem these are causing the ill effects.

    DEBUG:

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    It kind of looks like a theme issue to me and that is a free theme by a commercial concern who overlooked their support channel here for that free theme… but they did update it recently so that was probably a mistake on their part.

    I’d swap out the theme temporarily for one of the Twenty series themes… Twenty Seventeen is one of my favorites there. Play around with that using the theme customizer to get everything looking as close to what you want as you can to prove it’s not WordPress itself and/or the plugins causing this then turn your other theme back on and see what happens.

    From there you might decide to buy the commercial version of SKT, look for something else, or stay with what you have.

    Thanks, both. “Health Check”‘s Troubleshooter is amazing, except that even with no plugins enabled*, every theme including twentyseventeen caused a site failure.

    *except Health Check and 2 other plugins deemed “Must-Use” by Health Check (SSO and Endurance Page Cache)

    ————-

    When switching the active theme to twentyseventeen, a site failure occurred. Because of this we reverted the theme to the one you used previously.

    When switching the active theme to twentynineteen, a site failure occurred. Because of this we reverted the theme to the one you used previously.

    When enabling the plugin, wp-chatbot, a site failure occurred. Because of this the change was automatically reverted.

    When enabling the plugin, better-wp-security, a site failure occurred. Because of this the change was automatically reverted.

    When enabling the plugin, gym-studio-membership-management, a site failure occurred. Because of this the change was automatically reverted.

    ——————–

    It did actually successfully load at least two of the themes but then it reverted.

    The site mostly works – just has the displaced sidebar + funky footer (partially ‘fixed’ using css).

    Can the Troubleshooter – or any other approach – help me find why a “site failure” keeps occurring?
