  I have my theme set up for sidebar/content and content/sidebar for the two menu’s but everything is displaying as stacked (there are no sidebars)…is there a fix for this?

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

  The mobile ready theme is a default theme and a completely different theme that you do not need to enable, if your theme is listed as a responsive layout theme here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout/

  The mobile default theme is provided for those who run older themes that aren’t the gold standard which is responsive layout.

  A responsive layout theme adapts to different screen sizes so that your website will work (and be optimized for) iPhones, iPads, Android and other mobile devices. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.

  When we use a responsive theme we disable the mobile theme. Go to > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme

  Thanks for the quick response;

  The title of my theme is “Responsive” https://responsivedemo.wordpress.com/

  I understand what you are saying but I am on a laptop and the icon in the edit area is showing for a laptop but the pages are still displaying wrong. Also, mobile is already disabled. Any other suggestions?

  Never mind-I had my page setting at 150% which was too large to display the sidebars. It’s all fixed now.
