Hi! Love your themes.

So on the site heatherhavenstories.com I put several custom (Text) widgets in the right sidebar. Underneath that were all the other widgets I use on the site. But the other day I noticed they aren’t showing up there, they show up beneath the posts.

I presumed the widgets must be in the wrong spot (that is, not in the Right Sidebar Widget area, but in a footer area) but when I went to widgets they were all in the right sidebar.

I also tried putting those widgets into various parts of the footer to see what would happen, and noticed that the stuff added to the footer goes into an area that is lower than the widgets showing up below posts that are supposed to show up in the Right sidebar.

In summary, some of the widgets that are set to be in the right sidebar are showing up underneath blog posts instead, but not in the footer, above the footer. The two Text widgets are in the Right sidebar as they should be. You can see these widgets by scrolling to the bottom of any blog page; there’s a ton of stuff there, like half the page is stuff, everything below the comments, that should be in the right sidebar.

Using text widgets to render HTML is very easy to create markup errors that break the layout.

You can use the browser’s source view to point out such errors (Firefox for example colours markup it considers invalid in red):

That makes total sense: I’m throwing in random HTML that could easily affect the page with errors. Wasn’t able to find red-coded HTML in Firefox, but that’s a great tip in any case. I used an online validator to find the errors. Thanks so much!
