  Hello! I just updated my theme for dare2begin.com and the settings indicate that I should see the widgets, such as Follow, FB, Twitter, Archives, etc., on the sidebar. They are not there… Furthermore, the number of pictures on the home age is odd, with one hanging by itself. How can this be fixed?

  Thank you,
  Ewa

  Every theme is unique. Each one can treat widgets differently. Go to your detailed theme description page please as it has set up instructions https://wordpress.com/themes/mixfolio/

  Also, view the live demo site at https://mixfoliodemo.wordpress.com/
  There are no widgets on the front page because that is how the theme is designed

  See here for widgets in the sidebar on posts https://mixfoliodemo.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/phasellus-sit-amet-libero-sed/

  Yes the widgets do show up on the individual pages. How to bring them on to the home page?

  Thank you, I’ve been reading through the links you sent, but I see no place to fix the bug that let’s one stand alone image to appear in the fourth row. How can I delete it or add 3 more so that the page looks complete? I have 81 posts to pull from…

  one stand alone image to appear in the fourth row

  If you want a balanced display of the same number of post in each row then go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading and adjust the number of posts you want to display there.

  Blog pages show at most ___ posts.

  Hello Timethief! You were so great at helping me last time, I was wondering if you could loan your genius to help me with another matter.

  I am trying to install the WP Hide a Post plugin into my site but I have no idea where to begin. I’ve read the instructions and they say:

  1. Upload the wp-hide-post folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
  3. That’s it!! Now whenever you edit a post/page or create a new one, you will see a small panel on the bottom right of the screen that shows the applicable options.

  That’s all great, except… where do I begin? I cannot find the directory referenced above in my dashboard. Do I need another version of WP? Please help : )

  Thank you!!
  Ewa
