How to put my sidebar on every page?

    I’d like my widgets, particularly my “Pages” widget, to display on every page of my blog. Unfortunately, It will only display on my main page, if you click on an individual entry, it doesn’t appear.

    This is fine for people coming directly to the main page of my site, but if they click through to a specific page, they don’t see any of my widgets.

    Is there any way for me to fix this? Would I need to upgrade to a more expensive version of wordpress to fix this?

    Thanks

    measure76,

    That is the way that theme works: it shows the sidebar only on the home page. Change to another theme that shows the sidebar on all pages: got to “Appearance” > “Themes” Experiment until you find another one you like.

    I think you are also having a problem with the “more” tag. In one or more of your posts you have inserted it before a closing html tag, so your sidebar is pushed to the bottom.

    Scroll down to “formatting issues.”

    Thanks! I found a theme that does what I want. Though, I don’t see the issue with the ‘more’ tag that you’re talking about. I’ll check all my posts under this new theme though.

    Your sidebar is on the bottom in both Safari and Firefox. It’s supposed to be on the side, starting at the top of your page. Usually that is caused by a too large picture or table, but you have neither. And it doesn’t look as though you are pasting from Word which doesn’t speak HTML well, so I think it has something to do with the use of the “continue reading” (more) tag.
