WordPress Comments area misbehaving

[alemieux3]

I’ve got to the comments section in the BLANK Theme and there’s a div that I cannot identify that’s pushing my sidebar down, see here:

When I outline it with Google’s Developer tools, I see it, but when I inspect it, it comes back as the HTML tag??? The h2 in the top of the post is floated left and I zeroed out its margin and padding. Same with the meta content beneath it.

Here’s the theme as it is now:

Everything else is working except this comments section. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Well, any ideas?

If you had a link, could tell you in a few seconds. Looks like a float issue.

Did the links above not work? I’m hoping to resolve the issue before I push the template to WordPress.

It’s really hard to tell with out an actual link to the site to debug. but, as @noahgelman said it looks like a float issue. I would try to put a float: right; on the sidebar container and float: left; on the comments container.

Here’s the stylesheet in Codepen: [http://cdpn.io/nkbay](http://cdpn.io/nkbay “Codepen Sample”) I am floating the comments to the left and the aside to the right. There’s some other element that is pushing the aside down, as you can see in the screen shot.

That pen is sort of worthless. It would take about five seconds if you provided us a link to the theme actually in action.

[alemieux3]

OK, I’ll put the theme up in WP and see how it goes. Then I’ll send a link.

Here’s the link to the WP blog with the theme in action. http://blog.lemieux-design.net/ Now the aside is missing.

For starters: quite a few errors happening here: http://cl.ly/image/3o2o0q051U3h

I would wrap all of your posts in a div call `.posts` or something like that, then float *that* to the left.

[alemieux3]

I’ll fix the errors, seems like some paths to the fonts are wrong. In terms of your suggestion, which files do I put that in? Header and footer or content? I thought it was just the comments.php file screwing things up.

[alemieux3]

I got it to work. It was the index.php file that needed attention. Thanks for all your help.
