• Regarding my sidebar widgets: Something I have or which is missing in my child’s header.php is causing my right sidebar widgets to load funny.

    I am using the Twenty Eleven theme.
    This is my current LIVE header.php

    <?php
    /**
     * Header template for the theme
     *
     * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">.
     *
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
     * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0

    When I replace it with the parent themes default header.php script this problem gets fixed but then for some reason my sites header logo gets switched to the featured image so instead of my header logo showing it displays the post/pages image from the page?
    This is my parent themes header.php script

    <?php
    /**
     * Header template for the theme
     *
     * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">.
     *

    With my current child’s header.php on single pages/posts the right sidebar widget loads all the way to the right and in its own awkward column after the main content and this does not look correct.
    See https://i.imgur.com/RrkV06T.jpg

    I would like it to load like this all in one column after the main content, which I had before but not sure what caused it to go wrong.
    See https://i.imgur.com/UZjnchJ.jpg

    Any help will be appreciated
