Why are my widgets not displaying in 2011?
-
Just updated my blog from 2010 to 2011 theme.
All my posts and other content are there, and I have moved the widgets from the inactive widgets to the ‘main sidebar’ to re-activate them. I’ve also been into the theme options and turned on and save the sidebar to the right option.
However no posts/widgets activated on my blog??
Any ideas?!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Here are links for information about the Twenty Eleven theme:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/

The Twenty Eleven theme features three default layouts for your blog. Two of those layouts feature a typical sidebar, either on the left or right of your content. The third layout does away with the sidebar altogether turning Twenty Eleven into a tumblelog theme. It’s perfect for turning your blog into a photolog.Appearance > Theme Options

Ok so I have gone into ‘theme options’ and chosen the ‘content on the left’
From this I would assume it means the page content on the left and the side bar with widgets on the right, or am I missing something?

When we change themes we have to select a layout and then install the widgets in the Inactive Widgets box into the sidebar and/or footer areas that we want them to appear in on the new theme. Sidebars and other widget areas: number and position

In addition to the default layouts Twenty Eleven also features 2 custom page templates. Either one will take a normal WordPress page and transform the layout. The Sidebar page template is the simpler of the two. It simply adds a sidebar to your page. The Showcase page has more features. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/

Sorry but I’m confused by the custom page templates
I’ve deactivated the widgets, saved the theme again as content on the left, and then re-activated the widgets and there’s no change?

Ah ha …. think the penny has dropped …
I need to update all pages to the sidebar thingy!
