  Hi All,

  My widget ‘sidebar ‘ will only appear at the bottom on my page. I want to put my instagram account on my home page but to the side as no one is likely to see it where it currently is. But I can’t find any option to move it!

  I really don’t want to have to change my theme as I love how the rest of my site looks.

  Any help would be great!

  P.S I’m pretty bad at computers so any coding please explain :D

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

  Your theme doesn’t include a traditional sidebar, so there is no way to add widgets to the page where you’d like them using that theme.

  Are you super attached to radcliffe? If not I can help you find a theme that will work better for you :)

  Ah that’s a shame! I’m not too attached I just like the way it displays my blog posts with the image behind them. If I could keep that aspect I would happily change the theme :)

  Thank you for helping !

  That’s a pretty rare combo I’m afraid. . . how about the format you like with a slide out menu on the side?

  I like the look of that one!

  If I activate this theme and it doesn’t work for me, is it easy enough to revert back to my old theme?

  It’s no problem to switch back.

  If you change the theme from the customizer, linked below, you can also preview what the new theme will look like with your content before you actually make the switch
