Side bar loading wrong in WordPress

  • On desktops I would like sidebar to load to the right of main content, which I had before but not sure what caused it to go wrong.

    Its loading incorrectly on desktop post pages . The page I need help with.

    Seems like there is something I have or that is missing in my child theme’s header.php that is causing my right sidebar widgets to load wrong.

    I am using the Twenty Eleven theme. Below is code for my current LIVE header.php

    <?php
    /**
     * Header template for the theme
     *
     * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">.
     *
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
     * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
     */

    Seems that my current child theme’s header.php on single posts orients the right sidebar to load all the way to the right and in its own awkward column after the main content and this does not look right.

    On desktops I would like sidebar to load to the right of main content, which I had before but not sure what caused it to go wrong.
