Why did my hive theme change when I purchased premium upgrade and new domain?

  Three problems: first, the upgrade to premium (purchased after I had posted content to Hive theme) changed the format by eliminating the right hand column containing “follow widget and archive widget, etc.” Second, how do I collect the email address of those who follow the blog? I receive an email telling me that someone is “now” following the blog but no email to correspond back to them. Third, I can’t find a “related widget” as shown on the Hive demo at bottom of blog.

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

  Have you checked out Hive’s support page:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/hive/support/
  It states:

  Hive features one widget area displayed in single post view and on static pages.

  You can see it on a single post page:

  and a static page:

  http://2dshall.com/publishers-bio/

  Upgrading to Premium would not have changed the placement of your widgets.

  Second, how do I collect the email address of those who follow the blog? I receive an email telling me that someone is “now” following the blog but no email to correspond back to them.

  Go to Site Stats > My Follower in your Dashboard. Here’s the direct link:

  Third, I can’t find a “related widget” as shown on the Hive demo at bottom of blog.

  Can you show me where you are seeing a related widget on this site?:

  Thanks!

  Thank you for your response. It was helpful. Re “Third”—It may not be a “widget.” It’s at the very bottom of the page. It is a bold sub-head format with three linked posts. Here is the link: https://hivedemo.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/get-the-look-black-and-a-dose-of-attitude/

  Ah, thanks for the clarification. That’s actually a setting that you have already set by going to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard.

  Next to Related Posts you have already selected: Show related content after posts.

  So, in order for this to work, you must have the following:

  At least 10 published posts
  At least 500 bytes (about 100 words) per post
  Enough traffic (sites with very low traffic will not get the related posts option)
