  Hello

  I am using the HUM theme.

  I want some widgets on the left hand side of the page and maybe some at the bottom. I think to do this I should add widgets to the Main Sidebar on the Widgets page and also to the optional footers. When I do this however, everything ends up at the bottom of the page. I somehow have my pages listed on the left-hand side of the page (which is actually what I want!!), but I don’t understand how they have got there! I have tried adding creating a Menu as well, but I deleted that because I couldn’t get it to work how i wanted.

  I have tried the trouble shooting options for this problem on your layout help page, but I couldn’t find any rogue code.

  Please can you help its driving me a bit nutty! :S

  Kind regards

  Julie

  That’s actually your default site menu (navigation) and it’s built right into your theme, so it’s not being generated through a widget. :-)

  This screenshot shows what you currently have in your widget areas:

  There are three more widget areas that you’re not currently using: Showcase Sidebar, Footer Area Two, and Footer Area Three.

  If you definitely need widgets on the left-hand side of pages and posts, you may want to look for an alternative to Hum, since that’s not the way it’s designed.
