"The Morning After" theme second sidebar doesn't show up
-
I am currently using “The Morning After” theme, why the second sidebar doesn’t show up, in Widget, I put Flickr and Pages in it, but just don’t see it.
I also tried using only one sidebar, and putting Flickr there, it won’t show up either.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it? So far this theme is my favorite choice.

“The Morning After” theme looks very elegant, here is a demo from the developer:

I already read the guide and also posted a question there:
Why there is a template heading? how to remove it?
Also, I like the idea of having two sidebar, but it doesn’t work for me, I don’t know if there is any setting I need to make? You can see in my blog the second sidebar (Flickr and Pages) is not showing.
Thank you again for your help.

You’re welcome.
My post includes the answers to both your questions:
• To remove the headings, you go to Appearance > Theme Options > Template Headings and delete the content of the respective fields.
• The second sidebar shows up on the homepage only, if you’ve set your blog front to display your latest posts. You’ve set it to display a static page instead: static pages in this theme display the primary sidebar only, so you’ve got to add all your widgets to that sidebar. -
Thank you.
I deleted the template heading, but it is for home page only, all the other pages still have the template heading.
Why?
-
You should study my post a bit more carefully before asking more questions. In the section on template headings I’m explaining that all template headings are customizable, except static page headings, because when you view a static page you don’t get a generic heading, you get the actual title of that page. When you title a page “Staff”, you’re supposed to see “Staff” up top when viewing the page, aren’t you?

I just tried to create a new page “no” title, yes, with no title, the template heading is gone, however, I need to let the page appears in the menu.
I tried also to manually give it a “Navigation Label” and “Title Attribute” in the Menus settings, it still won’t show up in the menu.
Here is the page with no title

You can see the template heading is gone, but there is no such an entry in the menuThank you again for your very patient, I just started my wordpress blog, there are lots to learn and there are lots to bother you gurus

You’re welcome.
Appearance>Menus: your titleless page will show up in the Pages module if you click “View All”.
-
I know I as the owner/admin can find out where are the titleless pages, however, what I need is to let my users be able to see it and navigate from menu. I haven’t found a way to show the titleless page on menu,

Since you mentioned “Navigation Label”, then obviously you have tried to create a custom menu. Did you add all the pages to it? Did you click Save Menu after adding them? Did you select the menu from the pulldown in the Theme locations module? -
I tried all these.
May I rudely asking you if you can take a deep look for me (I give you the admin password via email) if you don’t mind?
It might be 5 minutes work, but to me, it is delaying the Club opening.
Thank you again and please ignore this humble request if you don’t want to.
-
I’ll have to decline – not because your request is rude, but because you must never trust anyone with your password. I’ll try to give you precise instructions instead.
Appearance > Menus:
• Click “+” to create a new menu, type a name for it (say, “My Top Nav Menu”), click Create Menu.
• Click View All in the Pages module, click Select All, click Add to Menu.
• Click the arrow of the “Pending” tab, type the right title in the Navigation Label, click Save Menu.
• Click the arrow of the Primary Menu field in the Theme Locations module, select My Top Nav Menu, click Save. -
Thank you so much for your instructions, however, I don’t see the “Pending” tab in my blog. I don’t know what does it mean?
I have snapped all the screenshots which I think related to the menu generation and put it on Google Doc, could you please go there to take a look? That makes thing straight forward and simpler.
BTW: I do trust you so I said I can give you password temporarily, I can take it back after you finish, right?
Here is the screenshot:

I just realized I need to change the Google Doc option so you can view it and even edit it. Here is the new link:
All I want is to be able to have two items on the top menu, with each menu I am able to add some sub menus, and for all the menus or sub menus, I don’t want to show any Template Headings.
I think this theme can make it. I like this theme, really good, but the template heading is driving people nut.

“Pending” is what would have shown up in your menu in Appearance > Menus if you had created a titleless page (as you told me you did).
Now (assuming your menu is still as in the screenshot you took),
1) Go to Appearance > Menus, click the arrow of each page, add an extra letter or something to the title in the Navigation Label (the trick won’t work if the Label is identical to the actual title of the page), click Save Menu when you’re done with all the pages.
2) Go to Pages > All Pages and delete the titles of all your pages.
3) Go back to Appearance > Menus, click the arrow of each page again, delete the extra character from the Navigation Labels, click Save Menu.
4) Drag pages to the right to turn them into dropdowns (see Support doc).
5) Make sure the menu is selected in the Theme Locations module. -
Thank you sososososososo much for your help.
Your answer fixed most of the problems!!!!!!
But one more thing: I want to add more than one top menus, when I did it, the second menu doesn’t show up! although I checked “Automatically add new top-level pages” (the Primary Navigation” still points to the default menu
Why? How do I add the second menu?
Thank you again for your help.

Noticed that in a previous reply I said name your menu “My Top Nav Menu”? Your menu (or at least what WP calls a menu) isn’t the tab and the dropdown you have created, it’s the whole row of tabs you can have above your header image (along with their dropdowns, if any). Everything you want up there must be added to the one menu you have already created and loaded.
-
Thank you Pana.
“Everything you want up there must be added to the one menu you have already created and loaded.”
Do you mean I can have only one top menu item with this great theme?
-
No, I mean what I wrote. Check the theme demo please:
http://themorningafterdemo.wordpress.com/
“Home”, “About”, “How I Learned [etc.]” and “Page” are menu items. The strip that displays all those is the top menu.Now check this:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-of-menu-items-and-creating-sub-menus
“About”, “Music” and “Tech” will show up as tabs above your header image, “Blues”, Garage Rock” and “R&B” will be a dropdown to “Music”, “Ubuntu” will be a dropdown to “Tech”.
