  Hi there,

  First, I noticed you have submitted multiple requests for support. To keep our conversation organized, I’m going to respond to your questions here and close the other requests. Please keep all further correspondence in this thread.

  The sidebar is hidden by default, hiding my widgets which I need obvious and visible (using the bandpage widget to show gig dates)

  The sidebar on the Bushwick theme is hidden by default. It can be accessed by clicking the bars on the upper right-hand side of the screen. Currently, the theme cannot be styled to display the widgets automatically (without requiring a click).

  On mobile devices the widgets aren’t showing at all

  The widgets are only displayed above the main navigation when the browser window is wider than 1024px. In the case of the mobile browser, the widgets are omitted due to the small window size.

  I used to use flash but now that’s getting phased out (apparently) I’m trying to get my head around modifying wordpress themes.

  At WordPress.com, users are not provided access to backend theme files like functions.php or style.css. Using the Custom Design upgrade, you can upload your own CSS as well as customize fonts and colors. However, you’ll still be somewhat limited in what parts of the theme you can change.

  1st thing that happened was the HOME button which by default appears over the vertical header disappeared.
  So I made my own “home” button which was a menu item linking to front page.
  Now the link won’t appear but the HOME button has reappeared!!?
  What on Earth is going on?

  The “Home” button appears on the top left-hand side of the theme by default, regardless of whether or not you place a “Home” button in your custom menu. However, you can hide this with a bit of CSS:

  .navigation-main li.home-link {
  	display: none;
  }

  Just a note, you’ll need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade explained above to input this CSS.

  I am using your Bushwick theme and there is a strange issue with the menu. Pages added appear just fine but link items don’t appear.

  It looks like you have created the menu correctly, but you haven’t activated it on your theme. By default, the theme is displaying a menu of all of your pages. However, this doesn’t include your custom link. To fix this, navigate to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus. Click “Manage Locations” at the top part of your screen. From the drop-down menu, select “Menu 1”. Then, click “Save Changes”. Your custom links should appear!

  Let me know if you have any questions about any or all of the information above!
