  Widgets are only showing up on home page, not on individual posts or pages. i can’t see how to change this, The visibility button doesn’t seem to help. Is it the theme I’m using or do I need to upgrade?

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

  Hi there,

  With the Twenty Eleven theme you’re using, there isn’t a sidebar on individual posts so your widgets won’t appear there.

  If you’d like the sidebar on individual pages, you can do that by changing each page’s template. Twenty Eleven includes a Sidebar Template so you can add a sidebar to your pages.

  If you’d like to have a sidebar everywhere (even on individual posts) you’ll need to choose a different theme. You can browse all of our two-column themes in our theme showcase here:

  You might want to check out the Twenty Twelve theme, which has a sidebar on individual posts and pages. You can see that theme’s demo site here: http://twentytwelvedemo.wordpress.com/

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
