   Hello,

   Firstly, here is the URL to the blog containing my custom wordpress theme. http://torindul-designs.co.uk/en/blog/

   This custom theme uses the default theme with minor changes to CSS where appropriate.

   I am in no way a newbie to coding yey I am a newbie to WordPress. Why is it that the sidebar remains throughout the entire blog, yet decides to vanish when expanding a post. This is rather strange.

   Another thing that is odd, is where the link path has gone too... This never seemed to be there from the begining....

   Any ideas how I can rectify these issues.... I will post any code neccessary.

   Cheers,
   George.

   The single post page is single.php. Most likely the theme you are using does not include the sidebar in the single.php file.

   It is also adding a class to the DIV "content" called "wideclass" which makes the post as wide as the full site width.

   Suggestion is look at how the index.php or page.php file is coded, and change single.php accordingly, to include the sidebar and to not have the post area be the full width of the site.

   Not sure what you mean by link area. Do you mean a sidebar listing of links? In WP this is (or was) called Blogroll, and is also entered either in the sidebar or as a widget.

   ( Side note: Note that you can't mix sidebar PHP code and widgets without some sidebar coding changes. If there are any widgets defined, they override all or most of the code in the sidebar. Best to use either widgets or code. )

   THanks for your help.... I will look into that single.php template and have a play around.

   Regards to the links I always though that WordPress had links link

   Blog Home > Category Name > Post Title

   That were at the header of the blog post.

   What you are referring to are breadcrumbs. That is not part of core WordPress. There is a plugin(s?) that create the breadcrumbs. Search the plugins directory for breadcrumbs.
