  Hi there,

  I’ve added a few widgets to the sidebar in Libre 2. The sidebar shows up perfectly on posts, but does not appear on the front page, where I really want it.

  Is it possible to add to the front page, or do I need to change to a different theme?

  Thanks,
  Betsey

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

  Hi betseybiggs

  – To add it to the front page of your site you need to make your front page as a static homepage.

  Please go through the theme libre2 support document for more information and especially refer to the widget section in which it is mentioned that widgets can be on single post or page.

  To know more about the front page please refer to the support document below:

  Hope this helps.

  To have a sidebar alongside your blog, you’d need to choose another theme, as you suspect.

  Nucleare and Penscratch 2 are two themes you could look at:
