   My blog categories sidebar displays on all of my website pages except for the home page, but I only want it to display on the blog page only.

   How can I get the blog categories sidebar to display only on the blog page and not appear on the other pages?

   I'm new to WP and do not understand a lot of the code and lingo, but i'm learning!

   Thanks. http://www.texashousehome.com

   Does your site use a static front page?

   If your Blog page is set up as your main posts page, then you would need to edit your theme's sidebar.php and look for <?php wp_list_categories();?> and change this to <?php if( is_home() ) wp_list_categories();?>.
