how do I add a sidebar
-
when in the original theme (CHUNK) it is disabled?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It’s not disabled. It doesn’t exist. The theme is a one column theme not designed to have a sidebar. It has footer widgets areas only. However, I don’t help with CSS editing.

As timethief explaind, “disabled” isn’t the right word. However, you can use CSS to turn the footer widget area to a sidebar. But this is complicated: you need to change several widths, floats and other details to make it work. It’s easier to switch to a theme that does have a sidebar. Or is the rest of the design of Chunk important to you?

I like everything about that theme other than the sidebar, it isn’t too important to have one, I was hoping there was an easy way to do it.
Thanks for your replies, I think I will stick to the theme and live without a sidebar

If you decide you’d like to look into getting in-depth customization help for a change as big as this, you could fill out a request at http://en.support.wordpress.com/customize-my-site/request-theme-customization/ to see if they can fix it up for a small fee.

It’s not exactly easy, but it’s not very difficult either. Give this a try:
#menu { width: 1100px; } #container { width: 1100px; } #contents { width: 650px; float: left; } .hentry .main { width: auto; } #widgets { border-top: none; border-left: 1px solid #ccc; float: left; margin: 0; width: 200px; } #widgets .widget-area { width: 20%; } #widgets .widget { clear: none !important; width: 260px; } .widget-title { width: 248px; }
