  How do I make the sidebar widget appear only on one of the pages? I am using the Penscratch template

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

  Read the theme description page at https://wordpress.com/theme/penscratch-2

  Penscratch 2 includes four widget areas; one optional Sidebar, and three Footer areas.

  See these support docs:

  My widgets appear, but I am unable to edit them. When I open them to edit, they only give me the buttons save and edit – no text. I cannot edit the text.

  Please confirm the URL of your site as the one linked to your username is not wearing that theme. It is wearing this theme https://wordpress.com/theme/hemingway-rewritten Hemingway Rewritten

  You can configure up to four widget areas – one in the sidebar, three in the footer – by going to Appearance → Widgets. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/

  I guess we can’t upload screen shots here. My website is http://BeautifulLivesbySusan.com

  Hi there,

  You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  beautifullivesbysusan.com is a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting, hosted by GoDaddy.com
  Name Servers:
  ns04.domaincontrol.com
  ns03.domaincontrol.com

  This is WordPress.COM support and that site is not on our servers.

  We do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page. However, about 30% of those who post here every day are posting to the wrong support forum and must be redirected to the correct support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  wordpress.org support
  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  Jetpack support
  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
