How can I change the widgets per menu page?
-
In the menu on my website, I have three pages: Home, Sub Rosa (= about) and Percontatio. On the page ‘Percontatio’ I have the sidebar with the archives of messages. That is great. But I would rather not have the sidebar on the other two pages. On the homepage there is no sidebar, so that’s how I want it (although I don’t know how it became like that). Unfortunately on the page ‘Sub Rosa’ there is a sidebar and I don’t want it there. Is there a possibility to change that?
I have also a second question: how can I make it happen that on the homepage (called ‘Home’ in the menu) only the abstracts/summaries of my messages are shown in stead of the full messages?
Thanks in advance!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no universal setting for the whole blog. This is done post by post.
Although you can set your RSS Feed to summary, that setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
