  I have made no changes to blog format, but sidebars are not visible. How is that possible? Cannot find solution. Resaved blog format (sidebar-content-sidebar) but with no effect.

  The issue had to deal with some extra < div > tags on this post https://thisisthenewnormal.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=750&action=edit&message=1 . I went ahead and removed them and it corrected the issue.

  In the future, please be very careful when adding div tags to your posts. If added incorrectly it will break the layout of your post. With WordPress.com you rarely need to add div tags to posts since we already take care of that automatically.
