Missing Sidebar on my blog page!
-
Hi, my site is https://solascendans.com and I use the ‘Pilcrow’ theme.
There is meant to be a ‘Sidebar’ and it appears correctly as I intended on every individual blog post, and every page of the site *except* the Home Page.
On the Home page an empty space appears where the Sidebar should be. When I load up the page, the Sidebar briefly appears before vanishing immediately.
I have gone through the HTML of all the widgets in the sidebar, as well as the settings, and everything is as it should be. Ironically, the Home page is the one page of the website where I would want the sidebar to appear, as it contains important information and links which visitors to my site use to connect with me.
Also, I seem to recall that the sidebar displayed correctly up until recently: I have not altered the settings or done anything which could cause the sidebar to disappear.
All help gratefully received! Thank you,
Alex Sumner.

Hi there,
Would you say that this issue started to happen around the time you published your last post? I noticed that on the homepage it does not look like the other posts (it’s narrower) and if I visit it directly, I can see that it has an issue at the bottom where the blog comment form is stretched and colliding with the sidebar: https://solascendans.com/2023/09/19/for-those-that-have-actually-done-the-abramelin-operation-what-did-you-experience-what-did-you-gain-from-performing-it-reddit/
Is there anything about that recent post that is different than how you usually compose your posts? Did you happen to copy/paste any content from another source like a Word Doc, email, or another website?
Typically when we see issues like this it is due to some issue with HTML code (within the post itself) causing conflicts that affect how the site is able to build and display thing like comment boxes, sidebars, footers, etc.
Hoping you may have any info that will offer clues on where we can look.
Thanks for the additional info!

Sorry for the late reply. I had assumed I would be emailed when someone replied to this, but I did get anything, so I only just checked it now.
Thank you for pointing this out. I have just temporarily “unpublished” the post in question and Voila! The sidebar has returned. I shall attempt to edit the code of the offending post to see if this does anything.

OK an update: I totally re-formatted the thing, sticking to wordpress.com’s blocks, re-published it and it now works.
