  Hi! I’m using the Oulipo template, but my right sidebar/widgets only appear on the home page.
  I would like for all widgets to appear on each page (including when individual posts are being read),
  how might I achieve this?
  Thanks!

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

  The site linked to your username is using MistyLook. What is the URL of the site you are talking about?

  I see widgets on these two static pages:
  Home
  About Us
  I do not see any here T.Edward Wines, of course, as that’s a custom link to an external site and not to a static blog page.

  I’d like to make the widgets available for each blog post…it works with Misty Look…I’m wondering if this is a “problem” with Oulipo.

  If you click here:

  to read a post, the widgets do not appear…not on this post, nor on any other…

  Oulipo in general:

  Sidebars show on the home page and static pages you create such as about us, etc.).

  Single post pages show the post metadata in the right sidebar area.

  Category, archive and tag pages show a blurb about the page you are viewing (example: “You are currently browsing the categoryname category at sitename.”)

  There is no way to add a sidebar to those pages that were not designed to show one.

  Thanks much for getting back to me! So, with this particular theme, there’s nothing I can do to add sidebars to individual post pages? That’s a bummer.

  Thank you!

  All themes here are uniquely designed. They aren’t created on a cookie cutter underlying template. Therefore they all have different features. To switch to a theme that has the features you want this will be helpful > Sidebars and other widget areas: number and position

  You’re welcome and best wishes for finding another theme you like. In fact almost all the older themes do have sidebars on every page in the blog. In some of the newer themes whether or not we have a sidebar is a Themes Options choice.
