Additionally I would like to mention the following too.
As you will notice on my site, the list of Menu Berichten is longer than the side bar length.
Result: no links are present
Hi there,
please note this is not related to our plugin. It looks like a theme bug, and by the way it’s dependent on browser (occurring in Chrome but non in Firefox).
Please check the following threads that are probably related:

A quick and dirty trick could be to change the styling in your child theme’s style.css,
from:
#primary {
float: left;
margin: 0 -26.4% 0 0;
width: 100%;
}
to
#primary {
float: left;
margin: 0 -26.4% 0 0;
width: 99%;
}
Hi,
thank you for your reply, and help / suggestions.
[1] I tried copying the dirty trick code into the style.css file. Alas, that did not foresee my links in the side bar when using the Chrome browser.
[2] In one of the links you provided above, I noticed below code too. Hence no positive results.
.left-sidebar #primary {
margin-left:0;
width: 72%;
}
.singular .entry-content {
width:100%
}

And indeed, it depends on the browser utilized. Yesterday I noticed that the Safari browser does not have the link problem either.
BTW: when using an Internet Explorer as your browser, the website layout suffers even more…
[4] I reported my problem on the Twenty Eleven Child theme forum in the past, hence I did not receive a reply from them. Eventually I thought adding new pages would solve the problem, perhaps a kind of refreshment issue, but off course that was not true 🙁
Conclusion: perhaps I have a need to change the theme indeed. But I am afraid changing the theme will be influencing all my current / existing implementations …
Hi there,
the code change I proposed in my last message works for me with Chrome on Windows 10.
Are you sure you implemented it correctly?
Thanks for this answer. In my case, I am using a very simple theme I created with _S. Using the built in WordPress widgets for Categories, Archives, Recent Posts, etc. the links were not working in Safari, but were working as expected in Chrome and Firefox. I changed the width in the #primary.content-area to 99% as you suggested and it fixed the problem.
It appears this is not a problem with any particular theme. I really don’t understand why this works, but after hours of trying to debug my CSS, I’m not going to question it! 🙂
