Side Bar Gone from Post Pages

This is a blog for a client, which I am styling.

I’ve styled a nice side bar which appears everywhere but the individual post pages with comments. I would like the side bar to remain on these pages as well, but I haven’t figured out how. Is this due to the theme I used as my base? I did custom styles and spent a lot of time on it. Unfortunately, there is no time left to restyle based on another theme, since it’s a deadline project. Anyone know of a way around this?

Thanks so much!

Probably is the theme. Some don’t show the sidebar on all pages.

Which Themes do have Sidebars on all pages?

We don’t know that by heart – you must load the ones you like and see for yourself.

Help; I have the same problem, and the themes I have been using DO show pages in Sidebars…????

The problem came about when I went to the Widgets tab, and selected Sidebar (since my About page wasn’t showing up with the Home page, and I thought I needed to tell it directly).

Any help here?

glee48, we need a link to your blog. We cannot help if we cannot see it.

Since it is private, we cannot really help much. Have a look at this FAQ though: http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/why-is-my-sidebar-at-the-bottom-of-my-posts/ . In some themes when there is an error in a post, the sidebar will go to the bottom of the page, and in some themes, it will actually disappear.

All I’m getting is a 404 error (not found) page using the Treba Theme.

@justjennifer: Me too.

@glee48: Do you have the same problem or not? Nuvobank says his pages do not show the sidebar, but you seem to say your sidebar doesn’t show pages. Please clarify.

it’s not showing a sidebar (which i think is the thing that shows you links to your other posts and pages)…. it did at first, early this morning… but then it started to go away!

Have you tried to do anything with the sidebar? If you put something in an then took it out, that leaves it empty.

okay, i think i was messing around with widgets and sidebars, and may have messed up the standards that theme has…. my goodness, it seems like a mess. and i just tried deleting the blog and starting up again, but the same problem appeared.

is there anyway to reset the whole day???? i’m happy to start over from scratch…. thoughts?

Try adding a temporary test post to see if that will make things come up properly. I checked with the W3C validator, and it doesn’t appear like there are major HTML issues. Also, if you have any widgets in the sidebar, remove all of them.
