My footer is being sucked up into my sidebar

  • The footer of my site is being sucked into my sidebar. I can see the problem is that a <div> is not closing (or something of that nature) when I look at the source that is generated after the page renders.

    This happened one night when I had made a lot of little changes to my site. The most recent file that I edited was a plugin file that allows people to sign up for my newsletter (phplist.php).

    Here is the pastebin for the sidebar:

    Pastebin for the footer:

    Pastebin for the newsletter plugin:

    At the end/bottom of the sidebar you see the RSS feed chicklets. Those should be in the footer. At the top of the “post” area you see the rounded corners and what should be the bottom of the site.

    Let me know what other information you need.

  • I think you should delete one </div> before the footer… (not 100% sure)

    you have 2, but couldn’t figure out what the 2nd was closing

    The very last </div> closes the very first <div> of the file, the <div id=”sidecolumn”>. The one before that closes the <div class=”sidebar”> 8 lines previous. Unless you are seeing one that my glazed over eyes can’t see anymore.

    These are in the sidebar.php file.

    I tried removing each one of those individually and it did not fix the problem. I did not see what new problems were introduced in the process.

    Thanks for taking a stab at this.

    This is not really resolved, however, I have put in an old backup of the sidebar.php file. It re-introduces some problems that I was trying to fix in the first place. But those problems seem to be less destructive than the ones I ended up with.

    So for now, consider this thread dead. Thanks for your help.
