  I can access footers but not the sidebar. A sidebar will be more helpful and accessible for me.
  How can I access the sidebar?

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

  Hello @Wordsmith428

  You can access the sidebar by clicking on the “Customize” button next to Themes.

  Scroll down to “Widgets”

  Choose “Sidebar”

  You can add widgets in this section as desired.

  Hi There-

  You customize your sidebar by adding widgets to your pages depending on your theme.

  Here is an example of a Widget:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/contact-info/

  By clicking on Customize (next to themes)
  -Select Widgets and then select the area (sidebar, footer, etc).

  You can then add various types of widgets to your sidebar.

  Hope this helps.

  Happy Blogging!
