Tumblr theme: post footers - html

this is my first time making a Tumblr theme and I've run into a problem with the post footer. I adjusted the width of the posts/content on the page, which in turn meant that I also had to adjust the width of the post footers. However, once I had done this, the positioning of the footer was off on most of the posts - but not all. Namely, the footer appears to only be positioned correctly on Answer and Video posts. On all other posts it's off to the right/above where it should be. Can anyone explain how to fix this? The theme is live here. Here's what I'm working with:

Any help would be appreciated! I know there are some other issues with the theme at the moment but this is really frustrating me. Thanks so much!

NEVER MIND, I fixed it! It turns out that I forgot to close off some < div >'s, which lead to the footer being considered part of the post content and aligning with the edge of the content rather than where I wanted it to be. But I fixed it :)

My goal is that the sidebar stays on the side at the very beginning of the document on the left side of the main text. For some reason it says down below the main section. I know this is a matter of position but I can not find the correct position. I would deeply appreciate any answer that you may give.
Try this,
#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 208px;
padding-top: 30px;
background-color:#D2D2D2;
margin-left:initial;
/*position: fixed;*/ //remove it
}
#content {
float: left; // change right to left
width: 564px;
padding-top: 30px;
}

Materialize and bootstrap interfering with external css

I'm trying to replicate sites for practice and tried to import materialize. That totally messed up the styling of my page. I tried to download the css with only the components i need but still no change.
This is the page without bootstrap:

This might occur because bootstrap and materialize uses the same class name.
You should pick one to use, and use your own CSS to personalize it yourself.
The materialize has its own navbar center style.
Good luck
Alright, I figured it out. It seems that the following code was the culprit:
#left{
float: left;
}
#right{
float: right;
}
I changed it to:
.row {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.row::after{
content: none;
}
and
<div class="row">
<div id="left">
<a class="header-link" href="#">Offers</a>
<a class="header-link" href="#">Fanbook</a>
<a class="header-link" href="#">
<span><i class="fas fa-mobile-alt" style="width: auto;"></i></span>
Download App
</a>
<a class="header-link" href="#">TriBe Membership</a>
</div>
<div id="right">
<a class="header-link" href="#">Contact Us</a>
<a class="header-link" href="#">Track Order</a>
<a class="header-link" href="#">Pay online & get free shipping.</a>
</div>
</div>
and now its working perfectly.

Footer is not staying at the bottom of the page

I am creating a portfolio website from scratch. I am stuck on the footer part. The footer I have created for other pages works as intended but for the Resume page it stays in the middle of the page rather than at the bottom of the page. I have already tried to search for similar problem and try their solutions but sadly it didn't work for me.
Here is my HTML code

I am not a web designer so don't mind messy code.
Thanks in advance.
I think you need to change the position of both footer and .social-footer to 'relative' instead of 'absolute'
footer {
text-align: center;
//position: absolute;
position: relative;
bottom: 0;
padding:10px 0 auto 0;
width: 100%;
}
.social-footer {
bottom:20px;
background: #8a8a8a;
height:50px;
position: relative;
//position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: inherit;
}
This Stackoverflow thread seems to explain the difference between the two and when to use both.
Position Relative vs Absolute?
change your social-footer class like this :
.social-footer {
background: #8a8a8a;
height:50px;
position: relative;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: inherit;
}

Adding this tag to your css made everything seem okay for me!
html {
position: relative;
}
I used this as a reference: How can I position my div at the bottom of its container?
Some other folks have already pointed out that you need to have position set to relative, left set to 0, and only one value defined for the 'bottom' property. I don't want to steal their thunder. While looking through your code, I noticed that a lot of dimensions are hard-coded, though, and you seem to be doing your grid system from scratch. I think you could save yourself a lot of headache and make your page look more professional if you include this
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
in your header and define your dimensions in 'vw' (meaning "percent of view width") instead of px. You would probably be better off than that, even, if you were to at least reuse the grid system from Bootstrap, even if you don't want any styling from the rest of the framework.
Try to change the position from absolute to fixed
footer {
text-align: center;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
padding:10px 0 auto 0;
width: 100%;
}
.social-footer {
bottom:20px;
background: #8a8a8a;
height:50px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: inherit;
}

My footer div won't connect to the left side of page and other divs collapse

I've been racking my brains to to figure out where I went wrong. The bottom div stretches all the way right will everything stays center page but the left side won't stretch full. Also when I resize the window smaller all the sub-divs collapse. Ideas???

You should look for satisfying js lib for that. They are often easy-to-install and do not require any coding for basic usage. Here're some popular examples:
LightBox - Very popular lib
FancyBox - I used it for most of my projects, it's lightweight and really fancy
Theese libs support HTML content to show up, so you can add any content to youy pictures. They are recommended, because they are developed for a long time and stable enough. Good luck!
EDIT:
<!-- Usage example -->

Link can have any inline content - image, text, etc.
