WordPress Appearance/Right Side Bar Jumping Problem

  • First, a link to my site,

    https://www.spunk-ransom.com

    I would recommend looking at it with Mozilla Firefox. Tonight I was posting some blogs from a MySpace that I have into WordPress. Things were going along pretty good. I would check after each save. Then, all of a sudden, the bottom was all stretched out, and my right sidebar is jumping down underneath but over top of the last blog entry visible. There was a particular blog entry which changed color to match the color of my other side boxes. So, I thought maybe the problem was there and deleted the blogs which were effect. It didn’t change the way it looks now. Please note, I was having a right sidebar issue before this problem tonight but it didn’t effect my blog entries when I was updating over the last week or two. I am working with someone on my site and he has been having difficulties seeing where that problem is. So now, my page is all messed up and I am not sure why. Is it WordPress? Is it my code? All I know is that everything was fine until tonight when I was posting new blogs.

    Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • You have code errors like a misplaced script after your closing body tag </body>.

    Suddenly displaced sidebars are usually due to either code errors or oversized content (like a too large image or movie).

    Thank you, I will show this to my friend who is designing the page as this is like another language to me. I appreciate your prompt response! Any other feedback is appreciated!

    Here’s a follow up question, we will use this page as an example,

    https://www.spunk-ransom.com/about.html

    I checked the videos that are placed the upper right hand corner to see if they were the reason the right side bar area was jumping down to the left. I removed the video, refreshed, and it jumped.

    There was a script outside of </body> and we moved that back up before </body>. This didn’t seem to make a difference.

    This occurs on Mozilla Firefox 2 but doesn’t appear to happen on IE7.

    Any suggestions?

    the about page was fine under ff3 on mac….can’t get to your home page however.

    On the https://www.spunk-ransom.com/about.html page, the closing html and body tags need to be switched. Change this:

    </html>
</body>

    To this:

    </body>
</html>

    viceng, thanks for the input on ff3 on mac! The homepage is currently down so that’s why you couldn’t look at it! Sorry! I am working on that.

    iridiax, I made those changes. This also didn’t change the right side jumping down. Any other suggestions?

    I also wanted to add that the person who is doing the code does not see the problem in Mozilla FF3 either…. so is this really a Mozilla FF2 problem — the right sidebars jumping left?

    Thank you!

    I am bumping this thread looking for iridiax! Thank you!

    On Mac Firefox 2, I see a right sidebar and a left sidebar, but everything looks good and they are nicely placed. I don’t see any jumping sidebar issues.

    iridiax, on the main page, right? https://www.spunk-ransom.com

    Can you humor me and look at https://www.spunk-ransom.com/about.html

    because on my PC Mozilla Firefox 2, the right sidebar still jumps down…. not a WordPress question persay but…. do you see it there? Refresh it a few times if it looks okay at first.

    THANK YOU iridiax!

    It looks fine to me on page load and on several refreshes. However, you have some code errors in the youtube video directly under Why Spunk Ransom? in your right sidebar that may be causing trouble. Different browsers can react differently to code errors, and while mine doesn’t care about these particular ones, yours might.
