misaligned sidebar in comment page Options

[towntown2]

I'm including my sidebar in my WP comment pages by simply putting <?php include('sidebar.php'); ?> in both the "wp-comments-post.php" and "wp-commentsrss2.php" files.
But in the comment pages, it looks misaligned.

Go here to check it out
Is there another place where I need to include the sidebar file again?

wp-commentsrss2.php code:

    require_once('wp-config.php');
    wp('feed=rss2&withcomments=1');

echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'>';

<? include('sidebarphp.php'); ?>

I basically have the same thing for the wp-comment-post.php file.

Why don'tyou just put <?php include('sidebar.php'); ?>
in your header? so that you don't have to put it in both templates?

Thats much easier or put it in your footer adn link the footer in each page..

[Mulder]

...why are you using the default template?


use the classic one.

DO NOT use the default one. please, trust me on this.

[towntown2]

ok, well i'm not going to use the classic one right now.
i'll try the classic one when I make a new layout, so it'll be all new.

For now, just please help me with the default one.

[freeflow]

Well I think she meant you should change templates and it would fix your problem Because it would.

Anyways did you try getting rid of the
<?php include('sidebar.php'); ?>
include and putting it into your header so that whenever your header is included the sidebar is included.

[towntown2]

I fixed it!
Thanks everyone. :)
