  I can’t get the main sidebar to display any content or widgets in the twenty eleven theme.

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

  Hi there,
  Please consult the theme description and notice the theme is not designed to have a sidebar on all pages in the blog. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/

  Twenty Eleven is not designed to have a sidebar on single posts when displayed on their own pages.

  Read more about the theme in question here > Twenty Eleven

  Also note there are conditional visibility settings on widgets. Widgets now have “visibility” settings so we can select which pages they display on. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  Thanks so much! I found what I needed in that second link. It’s about choosing the right template for the page.

  thanks
