  I included a Follow My Blog widget in my sidebar but it is not appearing on my blog page. Help! Thank you!

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

  This has to do with how you set the widget’s Visibility settings:

  

  

  Widgets

  If you always want it to appear, remove the visibility criteria you’ve selected.

  Let us know if you have any more questions :-)

  Hi pmciano,

  Thank you so much for your response.

  I have the criteria exactly as your snapshot indicates- all categories, all dates.
  It’s still not showing up. Hmmm. Other ideas?
  Thank you!

  The widget does show up, but only on the pages you specified, as I previously showed:

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.

  How do I specify on which page the widget appears?

  From the Dashboard, I select Appearance, then Widgets, then choose items to add to the Sidebar.

  I see no other area there where I select upon which pages they appear.

  Thank you for your patience. This is frustrating .

  After you navigate to Appearance > Widgets, click the drop-down for the widget, click Visibility, then add/delete/change your criteria.

  Check out the following screenshots for clarification:

  Hi, yes, I’ve done all those things. It looks exactly like your screen shots. The Email Subscription widget is not showing up on my public pages.

  What else can I do?

  Thank you

  Hi!

  Can you try removing all of the visibility constraints using the Delete link shown here?
