Just recently, my client's blog http://robertnogueira.com/ encountered a bug. If you look at the site the footer has been displaced. It's been running fine until I tried to populate the posts for the 6th time with caff content. It got broke and I don't know how to fix it.

I chose to ask help here because the folks here usually responds to my question unlike the wordpress forums.

Please help me figure this out, I do this for a living. :(

With the way that the sidebar is underneath the content it seems that your html/css formatting got messed up. This also could be why your footer disappeared. Did you change anything beside adding content? Did you change the css/html/php?

Try looking at your formatting...or what have you changed. Could be something as simple as you having a post that is too wide (like a really long URL)

EDIT: I quick played around on firebug on you need to float your footer left:

float:left (get rid of your position:relative)

I don't know how you had your sidebar before but this is defiently a float/position problem.

EDIT2: Your sidebar is located underneath your "content-left" div tag - your sidebar should be on the same level as your content left:

<div.....><div id="content-left".....>....</div>
<div  id="content-right".....>....</div></div> you have the content-right nested underneath the left

Therefore you can fix this by floating your footer and then fixing your tags to allow for your sidebar to float to the right and your content to the left.

Well I don't know why it broke but I posted a solution in my second edit

That fixes the placement of the footer but the sidebar is still underneath the content...
Joann
check my EDIT2 for the reason for the sidebar

I appreciate your help bvandrunen... However, they're not nested. If you look at the single and page, nothing's wrong with them and they have the same structuring.

Fix your code errors: [Invalid]Markup Validation of robertnogueira.com - W3C Markup Validator, like the missing </div> tag. Missing </div> tags are the leading cause of out of place sidebars in Wordpress. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.

I suspect caff content is causing all the errors. But I will look into it further..Question: I have accepted bvandrunen's answer already. I clicked the check icon and it turned green. Did I do it right?
Joann
The errors in the validation report are in theme files, not content. What do you mean by "caff" content?And yes, click the check icon to accept. You should go back through your old questions in your profile and accept answers, too....

caffeinated content, it's a plugin that automatically populates your blog with posts...
