  I’d like to add widgets to my sidebar, but it doesn’t appear to be active in the theme I downloaded. I can tell that it’s written into the code, but I don’t really wanna mess with the code too much. What should I do?

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello there,

  Can you confirm the URL of the site you need help with please?

  You may need to reach out to the theme developers as to why this is happening with the site.

  Sorry, I don’t know why I forgot that. It’s alisonhelzer.com. I think the main problem is the site hasn’t been maintained since 2017, so I was able to make the sidebar disappear, which works for now. But I’d like to be able to add widgets.

  Hi there, that is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, which we can’t help with here.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
