  Wondering how to get the recent posts side bar on the Sela Theme? I had it there before and now it doesn’t appear.

  Thanks in advance.

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

  Hi there! When you switch themes, widgets will often need to be re-added onto your new theme. To add a new Recent Posts widget to Sela, go to Customize > Widgets > Sidebar.

  Alternatively, you can go into your wp-admin dash (https://krisandcarina.wordpress.com/wp-admin/), then go to Appearance > Widgets. Scroll down to the bottom section where it says “Inactive Widgets” and you’ll see your previously configured widgets and can click and drag them up and right into your Sidebar widgets area on that page. (This is where the widgets disappear to when they get dropped off during a theme switch.)

  Let me know if you have any questions! :)
