Wordpress theme, sidebar location

I bought a non-wordpress theme that I'm currently adapting to wordpress. The only problem I have is the location of the sidebar. It loads in the same area as the main content for some reason.

End of header file:

    <!--Content Sec -->
        <div id="content_sec1">
            <!--Main Section-->
            <div class="col1">

And the start of the footer file:

 </div> <!--col1 end -->
<div class="col2">
                <?php
                    /* 
                     *  Load the sidebar
                     */
                    get_sidebar();
                ?>
</div>

As said the sidebar loads in the end of the col1 div instead of in the col2 div as it should. The col2 div remains empty.

Any ideas 开发者_运维技巧why this happens?

Based on what we've discussed, I assume that there is a call to get_sidebar() somewhere between header and footer - take a look at single.php, page.php, etc. Or just run a grep in the theme directory and see where it is: grep -rn 'get_sidebar' .
