Somehow or another, my 2 sidebars have moved below my container.

And I don't know what happened... I'm completely clueless:

Here's a photo of how it looked before:

Here's 2 photos of how it looks now:

The sidebars moved to below the content, and the footers are all messed up. And the very bottom footer is now next to the body/container.

I have no clue how this happened. I recently had to let go of my graphic designer and I'm thinking maybe he did it out of spite, but I hope not. I could have just done it by mistake.

Please help me, I'm supposed to launch this site in a few days.

Thanks so much

If you have updated yesterday to the new 1.4 version, probably you have the same problem I had.

save the theme settings to recalculate the widths and to create a new optionstyles cache file.

I haven't upgraded to the new theme though... unless wordpress did it for me automatically-- is that possible?

I'm a novice to this stuff, can you explain how exactly I go about creating a new optionstyles cache file?

And when you say save the settings, do you mean go to Theme Settings, then press "save changes"? If so, I've done that several times and it has stayed the same.

if you have the "Cache the settings stylesheet" setting enabled then you have the save the theme settings for every dimension change, also when you add widgets into any of the sidebars for the first time. yes, go to theme settings and press save changes.

i have saved it like that several times, but it remains at the bottom.

I looked and i see that i dont have "cache the settings stylesheet" setting enabled, should i enable it?

@axelts: I tried changing the container to 900 and sidebars to 200, but that didnt work.

@admin/vfxdude: saving it also doesnt work.

This is my layout code, is there something in here that needs to be changed to ensure that sidebar1 and sidebar 2 are next to the container?

/**********************************************
Layout
***********************************************/
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 800px;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 20px 50px;
}

#navnew {
position:relative;
top:-25px;
text-transform: uppercase;
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
A:active {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: black;}
border: 0px solid #333;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
}

#navnew2 {
position:relative;
top:-32px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-color: #000;

}

#header {
margin-bottom: 30px;
}

#content {
float:left;
width:480px;
margin-right: 50px;
}

#sidebar, .sidebar2 {
float:left;
width:270px;
overflow: hidden;
}

.inside { margin: 0 auto; }
.feature { margin: 0 0 30px; }

enabling it speeds up your website. Can you email(contact form on the sidebar) me a wordpress admin (create a new temporary one), so I can take a look at this?

I just emailed it.

And now its fine on the category and featured article pages, it just a problem at the home page. This is getting weird.

there is a problem with your "Jeaned Up" article, probably lacks a closing div or something like that. I set it to draft and now the blog frontpage looks as it should again.

okay, thanks so much!

so one article can do that much damage? interesting.

while you're in there, could you see why my cufon font isnt working. It only works for the first article, but doesnt work for the others below it or for the sidebar headers.

Its geosans light.

it was because footer.php was edited, the wp_footer hook was removed, I added it again.
