  Hello, We would like our blog tab to have the sidebar. But the sidebar no matter what we do does not display properly. We have a few blogs on there now to see that it will continue to “push” the sidebar below the top line of blog posts visible. Is there a way to correct that? So the side bar is below the top most current blog (that’s ok) but yet even with/same level as the blog archive? We have two in the blog archive section and one current blog. I hope I’m explaining this right :)

  If anyone has a setting suggestion that would be really helpful because right now it looks terrible. If we can’t have a sidebar with this theme that’s ok, but from what we could see in the preview version we could so we aren’t sure why it isn’t formatting correctly now.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there!

  The main issue you’re having with formatting is simply one of post volume. This means you don’t yet have enough posts to fill up the default spaces set aside by your theme.

  Take a look at the theme’s demo:
  http://expounddemo.wordpress.com/

  Notice that there are 5 spaces that need to be filled before the blog posts start running below the featured sections, and next to the sidebar. The same thing will happen with your site. As soon you you create Post #6, it will appear down below, next to your sidebar, and so on and so forth.

  This theme depends on having a certain amount of posts to have it look just like the demo. There isn’t a way to move the sidebar.

  You have a couple options. You can either opt for another theme until you have the amount of posts you need to fill out Expound’s demo, or you can create several more posts.

  I hope this clears things up. If you choose to go with another theme, let me know and I’m happy to help you find one that suits you! All the best.

  I see now. Ok, you are right it might need to be another theme for a bit – or we need to get busy :)

  Thanks so much, learning quickly and appreciate all the help!
