WordPress Theme Messed Up

I did nothing. Nothing at all. No new plugins installed. Didn't even go into the Theme Editor for days yet, today the the side bar on the index page is messed up. The post page seems fine but the index page is messed up at the bottom. Any suggestions?

What is being shown now:

your sidebar has elongated to extreme measures

Thank you for that insight, now tell me how to get it back into shape.

well actually your footer comes after the content and then sidebar comes. So naturally it just overflowed when you the length increased past a certain limit.

Length of sidebar or of content? I removed some stuff from the widgets, no help. Ok here is the funny thing:

lower half of index page:

Code:

    </div>
        
        </div>

        <?php get_sidebar(); ?>    
           <?php get_footer(); ?>
    
</body>

This is same as that of Single Post (which is proper) & 404 (which again is proper). now if I interchange get_sidebar & get_footer, the sidebar goes back on top but I still have that extra white band at the bottom.

after some minutes of noob hacking I was able to get this:

But the white bar at the bottom was not there till yesterday.

Well its the sidebar, happened with my theme too at one time

let me see abt that white band.

How can it happen on it's own?

^ or did somebody hack into in ?

Your footer is getting fixed height somehow which should be fluid. I think you need to do some CSS cleanup.

Your case is of broken footer. Better download the theme pack again and re initiate it. Or ask at the Theme developers support forums

I don't think so, but you can surely tell better since you're 'THE WEBSITE HACKING GURU'

I had an intuition that it was you! Fix it now.

@Deb it is him, he was the last commentator on the blog

Fix it please.

main thing to check is your CSS style sheet.

And did you by any chance added some div element in one of your posts and forgot to close it. Just see your page no. 2.

whole sidebar is at bottom.

it has some posts which have some stray divs.

I can surely tell that it started from that page only

Try to see which post of yours is the culprit.

page 3 and onward shows your site as it was meant to be.

EDIT: seems like you are experimenting now, so the sidebar is at the bottom in first page now

k, i guess this problem can be seen in FF.
On opera, everthing looks fine.
In FF, the sidebar has shifted down and centered!

Even in IE! (though the positive here is that IE 7 is as good if not better than FF)

Page 2 shows it properly and I don't use any div tags to write posts.

well there is one way to remove that white patch, see if you like it, though that blue area below has reduced

Dont worry abt that sidebar, i know how to fix that.

The only problem that is bugging me is that how can something happen on it's own. And once it has happened, why can't it be undone? I mean the CSS fix is an improvisation.

^^ask Rohan, what did he do ?

Well, if he had something, I'm sure he would have fixed. But, the problem still persists. Now, I'm getting paranoid.

Ok, there is problem with your new post about twitter. Please rewrite the entite post. As of now, the tags are messed up in that post and so this problem. I was able to edit the HTML locally and get it displayed as normal.

gotcha, i think its solved now:
