  Hi there,
  I would like to activate the sidebar. Is this possible? And if yes, how do I do this?
  Cheers,

  Hi Jacky,

  It looks to me like your theme, Dyad, might not support a sidebar. What do you want to accomplish with the sidebar? Are you open to changing your theme?

  One thing I noticed on my blog is that sidebars don’t work so well on mobile devices, so I ended up not using one.

  Thank you for helping out dw! :)

  Jacky, to back up what dw said: Dyad doesn’t support a sidebar but you can instead add content to its footer area.

  If it’s important for you to have a sidebar, then you can filter our repository for themes that do support them here:

  If you let me know a little more about what you’re trying to achieve and what your site’s going to be about, I’ll be happy to help with some suggestions.
